Chapter 133: Chapter 104: Zero and Ten Points (4000 words, seeking recommendation tickets)
“This is way too big.”
Yilona, with her younger sister, opened the door of a house with a garden, and Ju Nono excitedly bounced around in the small garden. Then, through the fence, she greeted Ina, who lived next door.
“Sister Ina~~”
“Nono.”
Ina had a good relationship with Ju Nono. Ina was a cook, while Ju Nono was a little sister who served dishes and did odd jobs.
Thanks to this opportunity, the two had the chance to interact.
Although Ina was ugly, Ju Nono didn’t mind at all, which allowed them to become friends quickly.
The house was very clean, with nowhere needing cleaning.
Moreover, the furniture inside was very complete. Except for food, they had all kinds of tools.
Gonnia told them that during the training period, they had to go to a place called ‘dining hall’ for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, where someone would prepare the food for them.
“This is indeed an incredible place.”
Hailbo didn’t like noisy places; he chose a house for himself alone.
At this moment, the young man was sitting in the courtyard, looking at the sunlight and perusing the laws of Yatun in his hands.
Hailbo’s memory was astonishing; he never forgot what he saw.
He glanced over them casually, and had all 20 important points etched in his mind.
Not only that, but through these important points, Hailbo had a preliminary understanding of the customs of Yatun.
“To establish such rules,” Hailbo remarked, “our Your Majesty is truly a wise and virtuous monarch.”
“Um…”
At that moment, a group of young boys and girls quietly gathered at the doorstep of Hailbo’s house. With a glance, Hailbo discerned their intentions.
“Come in.”
Hailbo held up the manual in his hand, “I’ll read it to you.”
“Ah.”
“Thank you!”
“Thank you, Hailbo.”
They couldn’t read and wanted to ask someone for help, but after all, they were not so familiar with others.
It was only Hailbo who, in the previous incidents, had often intentionally or unintentionally guided everyone, provided advice, and helped them solve their puzzles.
For good people, Hailbo was always generous.
Moreover, the system in Yatun clearly intended for them to help each other. If Hailbo wanted to become one of the People of Yatun, naturally he had to embrace this custom.
Besides, he didn’t dislike such an atmosphere.
“This law states that the forest is the boundary line; without the permission of the people of Yatun, we must not cross this border.”
Everyone listened seriously. They had seen the distribution of the forest and realized that it was some distance from the port town, not affecting their daily activities at all.
This was Yatun Duchy, and they were slaves. The fact that they could move around freely in the town was already a grace.
“If one escapes without authorization, then they completely lose their status as Yatun Commoners.”
The food in Yatun was extremely delicious, the clothes comfortable, and as for the houses, they were unbelievably beautiful.
With such treatment, where was this like being slaves? It was almost like they had become Nobles.
Only a fool would run away, right?
Although they didn’t know what losing their status meant, they didn’t want to try it, and they wouldn’t do it.
“Meow~~~”
“Hmm?”
While Hailbo was explaining to everyone, a cat’s meow drew his attention: “A cat?”
“What a cute kitty.”
This cat was not one of the Cute Cat Trio, but a completely black cat.
It was originally a wild cat on Yatun Island, blessed by Lilith’s Fairy Power and thus became a Fairy.
Now, the black cat’s job was to monitor these new kids.
“Wait!”
Hailbo immediately stopped the girl who wanted to touch it, his gaze fixed seriously on the cat.
For some reason, a huge sense of crisis surged in Hailbo’s heart.
It was a feeling, as if he were in the woods facing the most ferocious monster.
‘This…’
Hailbo felt a bit neurotic; it was just a cat.
Was he, afraid of a cat?
“Hailbo, what’s wrong?”
“Don’t touch it.”
Hailbo didn’t know how to explain, but this kind of instinctual intuition had saved him many times before.
“Well, isn’t there a law here, not to randomly touch the animals on this land?”
Fortunately, this article in the Yatun laws relieved Hailbo’s embarrassment.
And hearing him say that, the girl who wanted to touch drew back her hand: “Yes, sorry.”
“No problem.”
Hailbo was kind, he smiled at the girl and then changed the subject, “You see, we have to change our habits.”
Despite his words, Hailbo’s entire body was breaking out in a cold sweat at the moment.
Fortunately, the cat left quickly, which allowed Hailbo to breathe a sigh of relief: ‘What exactly was that thing? Are all the animals on this island like that?’
“Brother, look at that.”
At that very moment, in Yilona’s house, Ju Nono pointed at a creature on the tree outside, resembling a squirrel, and exclaimed with joy, “Oh, how cute, that little guy.”
“…”
Yilona’s reaction was strikingly similar to Hailbo’s.
“What’s going on?”
It was just a harmless little squirrel, yet Yilona had the illusion that if he made a move on it, he would be literally torn to pieces within minutes.
“Nono, come back quickly!”
Almost subconsciously, Yilona stepped in front of Ju Nono, his gaze fixed on the squirrel, and he began breathing much more rapidly.
“Brother?”
“Brother!!”
“Ah?”
Yilona was awakened by his sister’s shouting. When he looked up again, the squirrel had vanished without a trace.
“What happened to you just now, brother?”
“I…”
Yilona was also somewhat bewildered because even he himself didn’t know what had just happened.
That sensation was like the time Yilona was escaping through the mountains with his sister and then encountered the Tin-toothed Beast.
