They walk for a couple of hours then finally arrive in an abandon building; they set up for the night.
Break sat down near the fire while he was surprise when a hand touches him and quickly slaps it.
It reveals the hand he slap belongs to the brunette girl; the girl was also surprise from his reaction "Are you scared of me" the girl ask.
Break didn't answer. The girl didn't push him to answer it.
"If you're afraid of me it's alright but don't act like this to the children. They have been through a lot" the girl leaves him.
Break feels guilty from the way he acts then the boy who he had saved earlier sat near him.
"Break-onisan I would just like to thank you for saving me earlier" the boy said it while being a little bit embarrass. Break wasn't expecting those words then he just smile.
"Young man, who are you and why are being hunted by those men" Break ask trying to careful with his words.
"My name is Luke, I, my sister and the rest of the children here are orphans. We were being take care by the old priest who lives near this town"
"If someone was already giving care of you, what are you still doing here?" Break eyed the young man.
"The old priest take care of us, he gave us everything we needed and he loves us very much and we love him too but one night the old priest was being rob inside his own house and he was killed… a group of bandits were the one responsible to what happened including those man earlier we were all most been killed" as the young man tells their traumatic story.
"But then Oni-chan saves us" the little girl said it loudly.
"Yes, that's right it was all thanks to her we are still alive" the other girl who owns the rug doll said it.
Break just patted the girl.
"And started on that day we have been travelling with her" the boys continue.
The flicker of fire floats along with the wind and disappears.
"But aren't you afraid of her?" Break watches the sky full of stars that twinkles brightly.
"No were not, she's actually kind, gentle, fun and loving but sometimes she just got carry by the situation and becomes like earlier" the boy explains.
"Is that why the rest of the children and her is being called a demon" Break asks.
"Maybe because on the night the old priest died the same thing happen earlier happened on that night but she was only trying to protect us and then some members of the bandit escape and starts spreading fake rumors around the town"
"Rumors?" Break was curios
"Rumors being us raised from the dead because we have made a contract with the devil" the boy gave an example.
The brunette girl came near and gave a piece of bread to everyone including Break but avoiding eye contact with him. Break grabs her hand
"I-I'm sorry on the way I act earlier" Break was a little embarrass in saying those words but he was sincere on it.
The girl just smiled and accepted his apology. She continues in giving the pieces of bread to everyone.
Break didn't expect to forgiven directly and he doesn't know how to react on that situation but he can't help the feeling of a little relieved.
To him apologizing to someone wasn't enough. He was not contented in that way, so he thinks of some way on how to make it up for her.
"Luke, how long have you been travelling with her?" Break asks.
