Adventurer of the Elf World

"Huh!"

Xiu glanced subconsciously, but reacted instantly, shifted his sight, and looked up to meet Ichiro's eyes.

She saw the big tears on her face sliding down uncontrollably, and the fear in her eyes had not faded.

Xiu's expression at this time was covered with surprise, and he obviously did not expect this situation.

In the memories of those people, Ichiro was a man.

What the hell is going on?

He was also in a state of confusion.

But this did not prevent Xiu from reacting, turning away, and apologizing at the same time.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know about this, it was not intentional."

He was really wronged. From the memories of those people, she was preconceived, and she was still a child, and her physical characteristics could not be seen at all. In addition, the name "Ichiro" sounded like a man~

Xiu really thought she was a boy, so he caught her in the bathroom like he helped Xiao Fudan and the others take a bath.

I didn't expect it~even with his observation skills, he would fail sometimes.

He couldn't figure it out, how could a dead person lie~

Xiu sorted out his thoughts a little, freed himself from it, and stood up to leave.

"Then I'll go out, you wash yourself..."

Before he finished speaking, Ichiro couldn't help crying, but soon suppressed it again.

Feeling his clothes being pulled, Xiu said helplessly: "I really didn't mean it~"

"I will be obedient and not cry! I'm not lying to my brother, don't abandon me!"

Xiu could feel that she was trying her best to suppress her emotions, which made him a little strange.

Obviously I made a mistake, but why do I feel that she is more guilty than me?

Xiu reached out and took her hand off, and turned around after a little hesitation.

At this moment, her pants naturally fell off and hung at her ankles, and her whole body was exposed in front of Xiu.

Just at the first sight, Xiu was hard!

Fists hard!

It wasn't obvious just now because of a little cover, but now it looks like her thin body is covered with scars.

Bruise on both arms, whip marks on the side and back, burns on the hands, and burns on the thighs.

There are all kinds of scars, and no one knows how much abuse she has suffered. The purple and black show the time of these scars.

Her body, which should be as beautiful as mutton fat jade at her age, is covered with these scars, like a shabby porcelain doll thrown into the fire and smoked black. It looks completely unbeautiful.

On the contrary, it highlights a kind of despair.

A trace of anger rises from the bottom of his heart~

Xiu looked into her eyes and saw only endless panic and helplessness.

And numbness...

"I am your brother, how could I abandon you~" Xiu suppressed his surging emotions and comforted her softly.

Then he reached out and picked her up and put her in the bucket, and then poured water over her head.

At the same time, he did not forget to say some comforting words.

"It's all over~ No one will hit you anymore with me here."

"Cry if you want to, no one will blame you..."

As Xiu was talking, Ichiro couldn't hold back anymore and started to cry softly, and the sound was getting louder and louder.

Xiu took out Casey's Poké Ball and released it.

To be honest, even Casey was a little surprised to see this scene.

It didn't expect that the child was actually a girl.

After understanding the situation through telepathy, Casey directly used her superpowers to cover the bathroom and cut off the crying.

It might be rare for her to cry freely, Ichiro cried so hard that Xiu seemed to feel the accumulated emotions in her heart from the crying.

However, he helped her rub her hair very realistically, and after washing it, he took out tools to trim her messy hair.

The falling hair was gathered to one side under the control of superpowers.

After ten minutes or so, the crying gradually subsided, and Xiu took the opportunity to chat with her.

Finally understood why she was in this situation.

The reason lies in a bad habit in the countryside - favoring boys over girls.

This situation is very common in those places.

Of course, there are some specific factors, but the focus is not on this.

Her original family is the strongest in the village... not to mention trainers, anyway, her father has a Kentaro, and no one in the village is better than her family.

Her father has always hoped to have a son to inherit the family business, but she is a girl.

Because of her parents' concept, she was raised as a boy since birth, and her name was also a boy's name. Over time, the people in the village also regarded her as a boy.

Later, the man returned to the village. At first, there was nothing, but the disaster that suddenly broke out last year, all the elves in the village were organized to resist sporadic elves.

And her father was the main force, not to mention that he really won, but the elves in the village also suffered more than half of the casualties, leaving only a few small fish.

At this time, the middle-aged man who had been hiding for a long time took the opportunity to attack, poisoned Kentaro, killed the remaining elves, and controlled the village.

And her parents were killed in that incident.

In order to show his authority, the middle-aged man kept her as a slave to warn the villagers.

He was tortured until Xiu showed up...

It was funny. That guy had been planning for so long, but Xiu defeated him in just a few moves. Whether it was the elves he had cultivated for half his life or the poison he was proud of, neither of them had any effect on the giant claw mantis. Even if he played tricks, he was just a clown in Xiu's eyes.

This is the difference in hard power, which is why he chose to hide in the early stage and come out after he has a certain strength.

Otherwise, if he encounters such a thing, let alone whether he can save people, the most feared thing is that he will be involved.

And from her self-narration, because her parents' ideas have influenced her, she has doubts about her own gender, so she is afraid that Xiu will dislike her when she knows her real gender, which is why the scene just now happened

"Men and women are the same, it doesn't affect me being your brother, and there are no fewer outstanding women than men. It all depends on personal ability. It's too narrow-minded to bring gender into it."

Xiu poured water on her head, washed off the foam on her hair, and those hairs were tamed along with the water flow.

The originally messy hair looked much better after being groomed.

"Don't abandon me~" Ichiro squatted in the bucket and turned to look at Xiu.

"Didn't you hear what I said to the principal? I am your guardian and I didn't abandon you.

It's just that you need to go to school, learn about the world outside the village, and use knowledge to arm yourself, instead of following me outside.

You need time to grow up, and I will wait for you."

"Hmm~" Ichiro made a vague response, then shrank her whole body into the bucket, submerged in her mouth, and spit out a string of bubbles.

Xiu gently touched the whip marks on her back. According to Xiu's common sense, it must be painful if this thing touches water, but she didn't say a word.
