THIEVES
11. Who

Sunlight was already towering, Nadi who was originally still closing his eyes, slowly awakened by the sunlight that pierced the corner of his eyes.

"Wake up!?" Said the girl who managed to make Nadi faint.

Nadi who did not remember the incident this morning, immediately aghast in shock after hearing the girl's speech.

Nadi stood up, then looked for the location of his dagger, while he was busy looking to the right and left, his gaze was fixed to one thing, none other than, on a pot containing cold soup.

Of course Nadi's heart intended to take it straight away, but he did not do it, because seeing the girl's expression, it looked like threatening.

Nadi and the Girl looked at a split second, Nadi was not afraid of the Girl, but embarrassed, because he took her food, and threw it away because it spilled.

Even if it was the Cat's food, Nadi would not dare to touch it, because He knew that finding food was difficult, let alone good food as the Merchant gave him yesterday.

Because Nadi was not in the mood with the good food, he went back to look for his Dagger, and the Dagger turned out to be next to the Girl.

Nadi slowly approached towards the Girl, then took her Dagger. The girl was still staring intently at Nadi's gloomy face.

After Nadi took her Dagger, she left without even glancing at the girl.

Just three steps Nadi walked, there was a sound of laughter from behind him. Who else if not that girl who laughed at him.

Hahahahaah, very funny, hahaha..." He laughed until he burst out, not even once He while mocking Nadi.

Yes, Nadi was certainly not angry, because He did not know the girl's words, because all He understood was the language of the Illusory Animals.

Nadi ignored the Girl who was still laughing at him, while walking unsteadily, He let out a heavy sigh... Huhhh"

"Hey..!" Shouted The Girl calling Nadi.

Nadi looked behind him, because he knew, The girl was yelling at him.

When Nadi turned his head, the Girl seemed to offer soup that He had separated in a container made of leaves.

Of course Nadi understood the meaning of the Girl, and quickly, he ran towards her, then sat down before the Girl.

"No, don't spill it." Said the girl while giving her soup.

Without waiting any longer, Nadi immediately sipped the soup, because almost 80% of the soup was only water, while the others were destroyed, because they were cut into small pieces, he said, there is nothing to bite.

Slurrerrpp..." Nadi quickly sipped the soup to the end, even the Girl had just finished taking her share.

Because Nadi felt that it was not enough, he handed the container to the Girl, intending to ask for more. Because the soup was still a lot, the girl gave additional soup to Nadi, until the soup in the pot ran out.

The look of a happy face was clearly engraved on Nadi's face, but he felt it was still lacking, because it was for him to only drink water, not eat.

Without saying a word, Nadi kept the container, then ran away from the girl. The girl only saw Nadi who was running with an ordinary gaze, because she had often given abandoned children like Nadi.

Regardless of Nadi, He continued to eat casually, enjoying one mouthful, for the sake of a bribe.

Meanwhile...

Nadi who had run, did not intend to leave the Girl, but He intended to find the Illusory Animal.

For about 15 minutes he ran here and there, and finally he found the Tiger, a low-level Illusory Animal. Quickly and without hesitation, He ran towards him, and at once the head of the Tiger was removed from his body.

Pluck..." The Tiger's head is rolling.

.

Go back to the girl's place.

He had now finished his meal, then cleaned up all his luggage, and put it in a medium-sized bag on his waist.

And just as he stood, from a distance, Nadi was seen displacing the body of a tiger without a head.

.

Bruk!!" Nadi throws the body of a Tiger that weighs 3x that of his body easily.

The girl did not understand Nadi's intentions, She just fell silent looking at Nadi with her innocent face sitting in front of her.

"You want to eat that?" Ask the Girl, but Nadi did not understand her words, and just remained silent as if waiting for something.

"You, like, eat, that?" Said the Girl as she moved her hand, gesturing to Nadi.

Nadi understood the meaning of the Girl, then He nodded in agreement with the Girl's words.

Ahaha.."You're a fucking..." He said with a laugh after Nadi nodded his head.

"So you mean want me to put it in? But unfortunately it can't, because the firewood is gone." He said as he pointed towards the pile of wood that had been extinguished.

(That firewood, like a match)

Nadi did not understand his point, and tilted his head in confusion.

"This wood has no fire, so it can't cook.." Clearly the Girl once again, the sabil took out one burnt-out wooden blade.

Nadi who did not understand, now became aware of his meaning, because He had seen such wood, when the Cat accidentally burned a tree trunk, while sleeping under a tree.

Knowing that the Girl could not make food like that, He bowed his head, He was very disappointed.

"Already, already, don't be like that." Said the Girl while approaching Nadi. Then he extended his hand to Nadi who was looking down.

Nadi did not understand his intention, then Nadi raised his face, looking at the face of the Girl who was very close to his face.

"Know, I'm Dinna, who are you?" Dinna asked, while grabbing Nadi's hand, then helping her up.

"Whose Name?" Ask once more, but Nadi silently did not answer.

"Dinna, Who are you? I'm Dinna.." Dinna said slowly, pointing at herself and Nadi afterwards.

"Din-na?" Saying Nadi stammered.

"Yes Dinna, You?" Dinna. But Nadi suddenly turned his gaze to the corpse of the Tiger lying not far in front of him.

"We take the body first, then cook it later when it reaches the city, while buying other ingredients." Dinna said he understood Nadi's intention, then He walked towards the body of the Tiger.

Dinna did a very surprising thing for Nadi, because Dinna just put her tail into her bag, then the Tiger was interested in entering her bag.

Nadi quickly approached Dinna, then looked towards Dinna's bag with a surprised expression.

"You're surprised, aren't you? Haha this is a good item, it can store such large items, and it will not rot you know, because it is made by very skilled craftsmen." Dinna said proudly.

But Nadi did not pay attention to Dinna who was talking, He just focused on staring at Dinna's bag, and felt confused where the Tiger went.

"Already, already, come back to the city." Dinna said, then pulled her hand and walked towards the city.

Nadi refused with Dinna's invitation, He threw down Dinna's grip, then He walked in the opposite direction.

"Hey, where are you going?" Dinna asked Nadi, but Nadi ignored Dinna's call, and kept going.

"Hey wait, I'm coming.." Shouted Dinna to Nadi who had walked quite far away from him.

"It seems you like adventure, yes, because of your abilities like no amateur, I'm following ya." Dinna said after successfully following Nadi's steps.

Although Nadi did not answer, Dinna knew, that He did not mind if He went with Nadi.
