Uncle and Loli

Benjamin caught on some weird conversations when he was dazed.

".....Hey, wake up."

"Why isn’t he awake yet? Is he dead?"

"Probably not, he’s still breathing; see?"

"Why did you take him back in the first place? He looked so pale, is he sick? They said there’s a pandemic in the kingdom where many people died, what if he got the plague with him?"

"Hmm… Okay then, I’ll kill him with the axe now so he won’t be able to spread the plague here."

Benjamin somehow felt a chill down his spine as he jolted awake in the bed.

W-What was going on?

Pain once again overcame Benjamin who just got up. Not only his head hurt, his arms, waist, back, knees…..; every part of his body was in severe pain. It felt as if he rolled down ten over meters down from a cliff and injured himself badly.

…..Eh?

Hold on.

Benjamin suddenly recalled that it was not ‘as if’. He really did roll himself down a hill.
