18 Coila The Pirate Hunter

The Holy Land Mary Geoise…

A few hours before the sunrise.

Inside a dark room underground beside the residence of Celestial Dragon's there are over hundreds of slaves chained and collared lying on the floor some are sitting on the floor putting their back towards the wall and some are just dead, while some are unconscious and some of the slaves are injured to the point they may die anytime.

….

I am not sure how long I was unconscious but when I woke up I needed to go to the toilet very badly so I asked in a hurry "Where is the toilet? "

"That small room beside the fire is the toilet. " a strong man said from the side with a very deep voice but I don't have time to care for who is telling me the way I hurriedly went to the toilet to let out all my feces and urine.

(You need to remember this is the first time he is going to the toilet after arriving in this world. )

As he let out everything and cleaned himself he felt extremely weak and stomach growling giving the signal of my hunger as I heard the man from before asking me "Hungry kid? "

Turning to the side I saw Joe's slave asking me in the low light of the flame and approaching him I asked "Where is the food? "

"There is nothing here so stop searching and wait until Saint Sara calls you and gives you something to eat if not yiu will have to remain hungry. " He said looking at me in sympathy.

"I see. " I said looking at the floor then turning at him I again asked "Why are everyone so thin in here? "

"You will know very soon. " He said with a sigh and didn't speak with me any further as I turn to his side to discover the Boa sisters still unconscious with a pale face on the floor.

Knowing they must be in a worse situation than myself I decided it is better to not awake them and let them sleep for a while so they can keep out of this nightmare of life longer.

Although I am hungry there is nothing to eat so I started looking at the people all around when I discovered another small girl with orange hair who is even younger than me and right now she is shivering for some reason even though it isn't cold right now and walking beside her with a curious face I put my hand on her forehead to find she has a high fever and suffering from malnutrition looking at her little face I knew if she isn't taken care of it won't be long before she dies in this place.

As I am thinking about how to help her she seems to have felt my touch as she tried to move away from me while water came out of the corner of her eyes as she said "I don't want to die. Please don't hurt me… "

Looking at her pitiful crying on the floor I felt even more heartbroken than before when I was getting tagged or the Boa sisters, just how much has she been suffering all this time as a little girl of her age in a place like this.

(He didn't look at the process of putting a tag on them as he had closed his eyes and started a conversation with the system at that time.)

Although I am also alone I have a system and an adult soul in a chield body and the Boa sisters had the 3 of them but from her condition, I am pretty sure she was brought here all by herself and the cry just now was too painful even for me to hear.

Because of her feeling discomfort from my touch and the heat from my hand, I took my hand away from her forehead while thinking how to help her in a situation where there is no food even when I am hungry not to mention medicine that can cure fever for her but when I heard the sound of water from the side I quickly walked by that side and taking the small broken bucket filled it with water than cleaning my undershirt which contains some blood and dirt from yesterday I brought it near her and used it as water bandage to as well as started pouring water on her forehead to cool the head from her forehead.

After half an hour of taking care, the fever finally decreased as she falls asleep when someone said from my nack "You are a good kid. "

As I am too concentrated on helping the little girl and cleaning her body with cold water I hadn't noticed anyone walking beside me but when I heard the sudden call by my back I got startled and almost let the bucket full of water in my hand accidentally drop on the little sleeping girls face but before it drops he caught it while saying "Easy there kid I didn't do anything to scare you. "

"Damn you almost scared me out of my mind. " I said in a low tone sighing out in relief that the water didn't fell on the girl and turning around as expected I saw Joe's slave looking at me with a smile as I asked "Why are you here? "

"I was looking at you for a while and saw you taking care of the little girl. You are a good kid. " He again said with a smile looking at me and from his expression, I am sure he is really truthful to his expression.

"So does it mean you have medicine that can help with her recovery. " I asked with a curious face.

"If I had wouldn't I already help her with the medicine. " He said shaking his head as we didn't want to disturb her sleep I walked back to where I woke up with him and started talking with one another as he introduced himself as Coila (Coal) and from his story, I got to know he was a pirate hunter and he went to capture a famous Pirate within the new world when he was defeated by that same pirate and got sold to the Celestial Dragon's a few years ago and living the life of a slave ever since.

Ryo also introduced himself as Rai as he didn't trust anyone here and for more reasons when he was asked about his past he explained he was sold in the human auction house and forgot about his past and so on hearing his story Coila showed sympathy with him as he also introduced the two giants from before as Doe and Doi.

As they were talking the sun finally shined as Ray the door of the underground room opened and the old lady from yesterday came to call Ray to the Fendario household to do as Sara asks him to do.

As he went out of the underground hall the old lady said passing 2 bottles to him "There are some medications that can ease the pain from the burn yesterday and the other bottle has paste that will help heal the burn on your forehead.

Although it won't be able to help in healing or removing the tag it will be able to get you free from the pain from the burn faster. "

"Thank you. "
