Chapter 11 - Evan D. Sherden, Gets People (5)
Evan D. Sherden, Gets People (5)
Shine is a commoner.
No, Shine was a commoner.
Until his parents were murdered because of the massive reflux.
Shine, survive.
The knights and soldiers always guarded and defended the dungeon, but on that day of the reflux, monsters pushed into the streets where common people lived.
To protect his family, his father lifted a weapon, and died with his arms and legs chewed off by a two-mouthed monster.
His mother caught the attention of the monsters to save Shine, and was killed by an arrow from a goblin archer.
You have to live, Shine.
The last words of his parents firmly stuck themselves into Shine’s chest.
Shine, who originally resented his weak body and had no desire to live, began to long for life and strength when he lost his parents.
He ran away desperately. Somewhere, where there were many people, where the knights and soldiers could rescue him… he ran and ran on his weak legs.
His small frame helped him avoid monsters, avoid arrows and fireballs flying all around him.
He fled.
“Hey, a survivor!’
“Come on here; it’s safe here!”
“Breathe. Rest. Sorry, we are late. Thank you for being alive.”
His parents’ sacrifice was not in vain. He survived. The Marquis has responded with full force, the dungeon reflux was finally suppressed, and the boy was rescued by the soldiers.
Survive.
For revenge.
The day his parents died and left him alone in the world, Shine had two desires.
To survive and avenge his parents’ deaths.
He sold himself to the slave market. He knew he could not survive on his own. It was the only way he could live.
The exchange manager noticed his determination.
“I’m not going to push you. Do you understand what you’re signing up for?”
“Yes. I came here to live. Please sell me.”
Shine was led to a small but clean room. There was another child inside.
A small child with eerie red-eyes and black hair like him.
The two looked at each other and immediately recognized that they were not enemies.
It was a very strange sensation.
“You too?”
“Huh.”
That was enough. They didn’t even know each other’s full name, but they sat beside each other.
They were under the same situation and intuitively knew that the only people they can depend on right now was each other.
Soon, the space got full of other children.
Unlike them, these other children were normal, and they soon noticed that the two children with black hair were very weak.
At that moment, the bullying began.
“Look, he can’t even stand up properly.”
“This is why he can’t work properly wherever he goes.”
“But both faces are pretty. They said that there are separate places to go.”
“Hahaha, look at those legs.”
All the children sold to the slave market were emotionally anxious.
The two weaklings were just perfect as outlets for other children to put their stress on.
“Look at this baby’s eyes. This is just…”
They learned that the greater the resistance, the more fun the bullies found it to be, so the two children learned to suffer without moaning or screaming.
One day, Shine realized that the little child was a girl, and he started to protect her as much as possible.
They were weaker than ordinary people, but her physical condition was worse than his.
“This will not kill me. How are you?”
“I will survive.”
“Me too.”
The two children nodded, facing each other in the darkness.
Their fellowship sprouted.
Since then, the two have been sticking together and protecting each other.
Then, that day came.
“What’s happening? Why is it noisy everywhere?”
“A high-ranking person is here. Whoa.”
“Let me see, oh, is that him? He’s small.”
“He’s the second master of the city! Wow, very handsome!”
“Really handsome… but his hair is black like those two.”
“But he’s not like that. He’s a high-ranking person. Look at those eyes. Purple eyes. Symbolizing nobility!”
Shine’s curiosity rose with the other children’s chatter.
Black hair, too?
But what does it matter? He’s different from us. We are slaves; he’s a noble; we are weak; he is strong. We are poor; he has a lot of money.
Just then, the door opened wide, and the exchange manager entered.
He was visibly nervous. Was it nerve-wracking to deal with a high-ranking aristocrat? It was a little funny.
“Master Evan of the Sherden family came. He is looking for a child of an age similar to himself. If you are chosen by him, your life will be decent, and hopefully you will live a better life than me. Do you know what I’m talking about? Show me well.”
Children’s eyes twinkled.
Everyone was smiling and in a good mood, but when the manager saw Shine and Belois at the corner of the room, his face froze and ignored them.
Everyone went out of the room, except them.
When they came back, everyone was upset and disappointed.
The exchange manager went back and beckoned them.
“The Master wants to see you…”
Us?
“Follow me.” The manager didn’t explain anything.
Shine and Belois were confused and followed him.
They felt the other children’s poisonous gazes at their backs, but they didn’t care about it now.
They came to face the child they called Master.
“… … Dyne.”
He stared at them.
“I need two.”
The boy with the most beautiful eyes in the world.
“Both of them – I need them.”
For the first time in his life, someone said he needed him.
“… … Will you walk me your fate with me?”
Someone declared that he would fulfill their desires freely.
A child who will be his master for life.
“Wake up, Shine!”
Shine rose to see the bearded gorilla in front of him.
“What are you thinking blankly about? Stand up! With such disrespect, the Marquis’ butler mission cannot be fulfilled!”
Shine was frightened by the approaching gorilla’s face and tried to raise his body, but it felt too heavy to move properly.
It’s natural for him. He had been running for hours.
The gorilla continued ranting.
“I’ve been told to be prepared, but this kid is really fragile. Where can I use this guy?
“Martial arts…”
As soon as the words escaped his lips, Shine instinctively bit his lips and forced himself to stand up.
His mind was full of thoughts. He couldn’t betray the Master who trusted him.
I will grow beyond his expectation and surprise this gorilla who seemed to know everything!
“Yeah, well done. The butler of Marquis Sherden should be able to serve even under any circumstances. In the afternoon, I will conduct theoretical training to preserve your fitness! Even if you’re sleepy, you know you won’t be forgiven!”
“Oh, uh… … Yeep!”
Shine stood up with only his willpower.
On the other hand, the gorilla, trembled slightly as he watched Shine force himself to stand up.
What happened to our little second master, the naughty boy??The butler thought.
He didn’t know what conversation he had with Shine. Nevertheless, he knew that Shine’s appearance was strange.
What intoxicated this young and fragile child? What makes him follow the young master so much? I don’t know. I don’t know.
If I develop this child properly, I won’t need to worry about the safety of the second master in the future…
The butler was worried about Evan wandering around, and having someone else who worried about Evan like this young boy helped ease his worries.
The butler has also noticed that servants have been talking about the young master lately.
Of course, the young master has always been a topic of conversation, but in the past, it was mostly, “The young master is so cute.”
Nowadays, it was more, “The young master is very cute, but he’s a little strange.”
It’s fun.
It is always fun to watch a child grow. The same was true with the Marquis’ first son, but the changes in Evan were even more surprising.
The butler was convinced that it would be a positive change.
Unlike before, when the child couldn’t even approach him because he was scared of his appearance, but now…
He took Shine because he was overwhelmed by Evan’s love.
He was worried initially because the slave was obviously a bad product, but Evan was right.
Though Shine’s physical condition was poor, his growth was slow, but everything else about this child was outstanding.
Cold judgment, intelligence, and above all, perseverance and readiness to get the job done!
He would be able to overcome his poor physical condition with training.
“Okay,” the butler told Shine, “shall we do it one more time?”
As the butler smiled at him, Shine shivered, and tried to relax his breathing.
Shine didn’t know that the difficulty of the training increased as a result of the butler respecting his abilities.
Evan, Shine, and even the young Belois did their best in their respective positions and polished themselves.
A full day of practice is harsh for a child, but fortunately, the mansion was filled with healing artifacts, as well as good healers and priests.
Being able to devote themselves to training without worrying about getting hurt was a great blessing.
Three months passed in this manner.
Evan can now kill slime in 3 seconds.
