Chapter 40: Wandering Children and Main

"If you want it, forget it, I'll just give you a big meat bun directly. Boss, give this kid a big meat bun, put it on my tab."

The girl's smile was cute yet pitiful, moving this middle-aged customer's compassion. He said to the steamed bun shop boss like this.

"Thank you, Uncle. Thank you, Boss."

Receiving the steaming hot bun, Main was incomparably happy, but she didn't dare let the headscarf on her head fall off even a little bit.

The bun was very hot, yet she clutched it dead tight in her hand, eating it somewhat impatiently.

The customer finished settling the bill, seemed to have business, and left directly.

Seeing this, Main hurriedly followed along. The wandering children at the street corner stared at her somewhat unwillingly, but there was nothing they could do. They were afraid that if they went to snatch the food, they would anger that adult who gave the bun as charity.

"Hah~"

Only after eating the bun completely did Main let out a breath of relief. She had survived another day.

Ahead, the middle-aged man discovered her and turned his head to look at her.

Main revealed a smile again, bowed politely to thank the other party, but also didn't dare continue following.

Adults are dangerous. If one isn't careful and completely believes a person's goodwill, after exposing one's real identity, it's possible to incur harm.

Main turned into the side alley. In her wanderer life she had learned to beg, but she would never beg from the same person many times. This was to protect herself, not getting excessively close to anyone who might harm her.

"Hey, you bastard are pretty arrogant!"

However, Main not approaching people who might harm her doesn't mean those capable of harming her won't approach her.

"I didn't do anything."

Main retreated one step, but behind her other wandering kids were blocking her too.

"Everyone else is waiting to eat bun skins, only you alone get to eat a big meat bun!"

The kid in front said somewhat resentfully.

"That customer gave it to me on his own initiative."

"Hmph, clearly a mixed-blood mongrel, yet always able to rely on putting on a cute appearance to beg things to eat from some adults."

"You all can do it too."

Main said, but her words made the kids blocking her even angrier.

"If we could do it, we would've done it long ago!"

"Don't say so much useless stuff. Tear off her headscarf, see if she can still beg for food afterwards."

"No, this is the thing my mother left for me."

Main hurriedly took off her own headscarf and protected it in her embrace. With the headscarf's cover gone, the pink hair revealed on her head then showed she was a child with foreign tribes lineage.

"Give it to me!"

The wandering children didn't care whether the headscarf was something the other party's mother left for her. They were just jealous that as a mixed-blood girl, she unexpectedly managed to get by better than them.

Clearly a pink-haired freak, clearly having dirty foreign tribes bloodline...

Main took a beating, hugging the headscarf and charging out from the kids surrounding her, but these wandering children pursued relentlessly. On beating up the freak with foreign tribes bloodline, they seemed to have achieved a unified opinion.

Main was ultimately a small girl, and only one person. Under a group of wandering children's encirclement and pursuit, she soon fell into a surrounded situation again.

"Damn it, actually made us chase this long?"

The wandering kids chasing the girl panted heavily.

"I won't be active here anymore. Will you let me go?"

Main begged.

"That's naturally not going to work!"

Between the weak there may be sympathy, but this kind of sympathy won't be given to the notorious foreign tribes.

Even if Main is a mixed-blood child, and as the father providing her foreign tribes bloodline, his foreign tribe tribe was destroyed long ago, it's still the same — no good.

"Beat this foreign tribes to death!"

The wandering children swarmed up. Adults on the street watched the show. Main tried to cry for help to surrounding adults, but it was no use.

Because there aren't many people here who like foreign tribes with a robber reputation, and between foreign tribes and foreign tribes it's not a united situation either.

No one would come to help her, just like before. But clearly having foreign tribes bloodline isn't her fault.

Main thought of her mother, abducted by foreign tribes, yet still willing to treat her gently after returning — this child born by accident.

She also remembered after her mother passed away, she was driven out of the village by people, becoming a wandering child — those experiences.

The life once under her mother's loving protection was actually just like a dream.

But now, others actually even want to snatch away the only thing she can hold while dreaming from her hands.

"Please, don't take it away." Main, being beaten, let out a weak request.

But no use. The headscarf in her embrace was still pulled out bit by bit by someone.

"I got it!"

"She values this headscarf so much, let's tear it."

"No!"

Just as two boys each grabbed one side, preparing to tear this dirty headscarf.

"Bang~"

Both their heads were punched by someone.

"Ow, why did you hit us, you bastard?"

If it was an adult who moved, they wouldn't argue anything.

But the one moving now is a kid same as them.

"Because you're bullying someone."

"That's just a foreign tribes mixed-blood mongrel."

Bang~

"It's precisely because they're Foreign Tribes that we took action."

Both of them took another punch to the head; the one who intervened was Broly and the others, who had just finished eating and drinking their fill at the Noodle Shop and hadn't even walked out Two Streets before seeing the commotion on This Side.

Originally not intending to interfere in the private fights among Wandering Children within the City, but upon hearing the words about Foreign Tribes, Broly and the others stopped their steps.

The reason was simple: they knew Foreign Tribes like the Red Leaf Tribe and did not think Foreign Tribes were all bad.

So, regarding this group of Wandering Children using Foreign Tribes as a reason to carry out unfair bullying behavior of many against few against another child, they simply couldn't stand by.

"Damn it, you wouldn't be accomplices of this mongrel, would you?"

The boy who had been punched again questioned them.

"What if we say we are?"

Red Pupil Black Pupil and the others had already clenched their small fists; if it came to a group fight with Wandering Children who were also children, they were not afraid.

After all, with the powerful Broly-san backing them, even Danger Beasts would be turned into food by the campfire, so enemies at the level of Wandering Children were left to them to Deal With.

"Damn it, beat these guys to death!"

The group fight began, but it ended quickly, and a group of ordinary Wandering Children were Knocked Down.

"You all remember this."

The boy who gave the order to start the fight left a Harsh Word, then prepared to retreat with the others.

"Give the things back."

But Broly blocked his path, and Broly reached out to demand the thing in his hand.

"This torn Headscarf, I'll tear it……"

"If you tear it, I'll beat you to death before you tear it open."

Broly pinched his small fist and said these words to him seriously.

【Targetable Objective discovered, Main, current Happiness Value 0】

Without subjective purpose, Broly Rarely would actively generate thoughts of killing other Creatures, but there was one exception: that was when someone wanted to Harm a friend he Recognized.

Although Main was a girl Broly had just met, the Targetable Objective status of Forest Elf's Wife Identity Recognized by Crystal Palace naturally carried a Goodwill bonus for Broly Here.

If not for the small companions at his side taking the First Move just now to help and indicating he didn't need to act, some relatively bloody things might have appeared Here.

Because Broly didn't mind Eliminating a Life that had nothing to do with himself for the sake of a wife (Meal Ticket) he had just met.

The boy was not afraid of Broly, but he was afraid of the other children Staring at him hungrily behind Broly.

"Damn it, you want this torn Headscarf, take it, I don't want this kind of broken thing."

In the end, this guy didn't dare tear the Headscarf in his hand; after throwing it toward Broly, he ran away.

"Returning it to you."

Broly grabbed the Headscarf and walked to Main's side, returning this thing to her.

"Thank you."

【Main's Happiness Value is rising】

After Main pulled the dirty Headscarf into HuaiZhong and felt somewhat Relieved, she lost consciousness.
