BXBX NOVEL Chapter 6: Going To The City
I’m currently in the dining room having dinner with the others. Bella suddenly talks about something I’m very interested in.
“Tomorrow there will be a herd of traders who will arrive in this village to buy the village’s harvest, if there is something you want to buy don’t hesitate to tell me,”
The children heard this shouted with joy, but in contrast to me, I was happy because I was going to try to go to the city with the herd of merchants.
“Mom, may I go to a city with a merchant group?” I asked with a pleading expression.
Bella heard what I said knit her brows.
“What do you want to do in the city?”
“I want to do some things in the city and also buy new equipment for me to hunting.”
“Okay, I’ll tell my merchant acquaintances tomorrow, but when in the city you have to be careful because sometimes the city is more dangerous than the forest,” Bella warned me.
“Okay mom, I’ll remember,” I replied with a serious expression.
“Um that’s great,” Bella said with a smile.
After that, I continued to eat and chat with Silvie for a while. Feeling tired I went to my room to sleep.

The next morning I got dressed in front of the mirror. My appearance is seen in the mirror, a 10-year-old boy appears in front of me, he has white hair with bright yellow eyes and a handsome face. No doubt when he grows up he will become the idol of many women.
Right now I’m wearing short black pants and a white shirt. I don’t have any other nice clothes so I’m just wearing this. At least I won’t look like a country boy when I go to the city later.
I also brought some change of clothes for me to use since the trip from the village to the city would take three days.
After feeling ready I went outside with the suitcase in my hand.
In front of the road near the orphanage, there are several carriages pulled by horses. In each carriage, there is a lot of luggage. This horse is twice the size of a normal horse and is reddish-brown in color.
Right now the traders have finished loading the harvested materials on the carriage. In front of the orphanage, Bella was talking to a middle-aged man who had blond hair and a fairly muscular build, he looked to be still in his prime. Because in this world the stronger you are, the longer your life will be and your appearance will not change much.
“Bella it’s been a long time,” the man said as if remembering the past.
“As you said Braine” Bella smiled.
“Aren’t you coming back? Your healing ability is very much needed there.”
“I’m sorry, I can’t come back yet.”
“Hah.. looks like you haven’t been able to forget what happened in the past, you know it wasn’t your fault,” Braine sighed helplessly.
Bella was silent in response.
I arrived beside Bella who was talking to a merchant. He seems to be the leader of this merchant group.
Looking at his status window I was surprised because he was by far the highest rank I had seen.

Seeing me who was already beside Bella. Braine started to ask Bella if I was the child she was referring to.
“This is Lute he is the child you will bring to the city and for Lute, you can call this uncle, Braine uncle,”
“Hey kid, you said you wanted to go to a city with us, I’ve heard the story from Bella,” Braine said to me with a smile and patted my shoulder.
“Y-yes Uncle Braine, I want to go to the city,”
“Hahaha.. no need to be so nervous, I’m sure you will be a good friend to my daughter,”
“Daughter?”
“My daughter is a cute and beautiful child Oh she is my little angel, but if you ever do anything to her, I will dismember your body,” Braine said with a very serious expression.
My body trembled.
“Hey!! Braine stops scaring the kids!!” Bella looked angry.
“Hahaha… I’m sorry, but what I said just now is true,”
“Hah.. well Lute put your luggage in the carriage,” Bella couldn’t help but sigh.
“Okay, mom,”
Putting the luggage into the carriage, I returned to Bella’s side. When I got there, I saw Silvie who suddenly ran over. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but she finally fell silent.
“Be careful,” Silvie spoke to me.
“Um, I’ll be careful,” I nodded towards Silvie.
Actually, Silvie’s status was something that was bugging me since yesterday.

Rank: [E]
—————————-
Her Love Meter stopped at 69% like there was a barrier that was difficult to cross, I don’t know why. Maybe if this barrier was crossed she would like me.
Actually, in the previous story, the protagonist had saved Silvie on the verge of death. That’s also why Silvie liked him.
‘Could it be that I should do something similar?’
For now, I will think about it later. Now all I need to do becomes strong to resist the impending disaster.
I said farewell to Bella and the other residents of the orphanage. After that, I entered the carriage and continued my journey.
—-
Right now I was in a beautiful carriage, inside this carriage soft seats were facing each other. In front of me was Uncle Braine who was looking out the carriage window.
“Uncle I heard your conversation with mom earlier, why she can’t go back to the city?”
“Huh.. so you heard it” Braine sighed as if remembering the past.
“Yeah, I wonder if something happened that caused mom to not be able to return to the city?” I asked with a curious look.
“You saw that Bella and I knew each other, didn’t you? Actually, we used to have a party with four members,” Braine reminisced about the past he smiled.
“Bella is a highly sought-after healer because it’s very rare that anyone can use the Heal skill but now she can’t use Heal properly,” Braine said with a sad expression.
“Can’t use the Heal skill properly? Did something happen?”
“There was an incident in the city back then, this incident caused a lot of casualties and almost half the city was flooded with blood,” Braine said with an angry expression.
I heard that almost half the city was flooded with blood was shocked, because this story I never heard even in the game.
“H-how can almost half the city be flooded with blood?”
“At that time the powerhouses were out doing business and only a few were in the city. Bella had seen a group of black-robed people before in the city, at first she thought they were just strangers, but they turned out to be an evil organization,”
“That organization cast a very powerful summoning spell and summoned an S Rank Behemoth Monster,”
Hearing the name Behemoth I recalled the boss monster I had fought in the game. The Behemoth was very strong, but because I had made preparations before fighting it, the Behemoth was defeated by me. After defeating the Behemoth, we will be able to challenge it every week for items that are useful.
‘It seems that the Behemoth in this world is considered a disaster, well I can’t argue with that since this is the real world,’
“Fortunately there are still Ashleigh’s family in the city, they took great pains to defeat the Behemoth, but the Behemoth didn’t die and ran away somewhere,”
‘Ashleigh? Isn’t that… not later I’ll think about it,’
“Ran away somewhere? Isn’t there anyone chasing him?”
“The Ashleigh’s family are also damaged, they can’t find where the Behemoth went,”
“So what does this have to do with my mom’s trauma?”
“Actually one of our party members died from the disaster, since that time Bella felt guilty for not telling about the black-robed person, she also couldn’t see much blood, which resulted in her not being able to use her Heal ability properly, because most of her patients were soldiers or adventurers who were seriously injured, she ended up returning to the village where she lived, even though I know it wasn’t her fault,” Braine said sadly.
“But how come I’ve never heard of this incident before?” I asked curiously.
“Of course you won’t hear about it, because this incident was hidden from the public eye,” Braine said grimly.
Suddenly the carriage we were traveling in stopped and someone opened the carriage door loudly.
“My lord, strange circumstances are occurring outside of the many monsters moving towards us,”
