Berserk: The Prophet

............

The streets were bustling with noise, as almost the entire city had come to witness this magnificent scene. The streets were packed with people, including children, some on street corners, others perched on rooftops and windows, their eyes filled with anticipation and longing.

The knights' armor varied, but all were based on silver-white, and their magnificent tall horses were also equipped with various kinds of horse armor.

After the knights crossed the border, Green and Bazzo turned and headed towards the tailor shop.

The couple in the tailor shop seemed to have just returned from the street, discussing and praising the White Dragon Knights' achievements.

"...You've come to pick up your clothes, Green?"

"Yes, how's the clothing coming along...?"

The two chatted for a while, and then Bazso went to the back to change his clothes.

"My goodness, the knights of the White Dragon Knights are so cool!! We absolutely have to play the White Dragon Knights game tonight... no, let's play now!"

"Yeah, yeah, that's absolutely awesome!"

"Let's get started right away!!"

"I'll go back and get some equipment..."

Several children cheered excitedly, and it seemed that one of them was the tailor shop owner's son.

Pani had just skipped and hopped into her family's tailor shop when she saw a familiar face and froze, staring at the greatsword on Green's back.

Wait... isn't this...?

Feeling the child behind him seemingly watching him, Green turned around and smiled generously.

Pani immediately pretended to frantically search for something and hurriedly ran out.

............

"Boss! Boss! Huff huff..." Pani caught up with Gerry and the others, panting heavily. Many of the other kids had already gone back to get their things, only Gerry and Judau remained.

"What's wrong? Pani, is it really necessary to start something with us so soon?" Gerry asked.

Judau has some things to do when he gets back today and doesn't plan to go out. He just chatted with Gerry for a while and noticed that Pani seemed to have something on her mind.

"Phew... Boss, yours..."

"?"

"Yours, the one who stole your toy! That... Green!" Panny was panting, her mind and mouth unable to process what she was saying.

"Who? Where is he?" Gerry perked up immediately upon hearing the name, but Pani's way of speaking was driving him crazy.

"At my house! Right now..."

Before Pani could finish speaking, Gerry had already dashed off, and Judau immediately followed.

"...Hey! Wait for me..." Pani was exhausted and hadn't even caught her breath before she hurriedly chased after him.

...............

"It fits you quite well, and it suits you quite well, Bazso." Green smiled and complimented him. When Bazso was dressed properly, his appearance and demeanor were quite good, and he looked clean, neat, and sturdy.

"Hehehe, yeah, the boss has a good eye!"

Bazso looked himself over. He had a red, fleece-lined, belted robe made of coarse cloth, linen shorts with drawstrings, wool socks, and ankle boots. He had everything he needed, and it was warm enough for early winter. Moreover, wearing the new clothes made him feel more elegant.

There's no rush for their rawhide coats; they expect to be able to pick them up around November when winter arrives. It's only early October now, and the weather is just starting to get a bit cooler.

Green took out a silver coin to pay for Bazso's clothes. Bazso wanted to stop him from paying, but after buying the leather armor, he only had about 60 copper coins left. Green patted him on the shoulder and stopped him from spending the money, since it was agreed that he would pay for the clothes.

The two walked and talked as they left the store and reached the corner of the alley.

"There will be plenty of time for you to repay my kindness in the future..."

"Oh!"

"Well!!"

As soon as he entered the alley, Green was suddenly punched in the nose, and blood immediately started flowing. Green was in so much pain that he wanted to curse, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Damn it!?"

Bazso's temper flared up instantly. Looking at the three kids opposite him, he grabbed the guy who hit Green by the collar and lifted him into the air.

"Are you fucking crazy?"

“............” Baziso stopped cursing as soon as he finished. This little girl seems to be the one the boss likes?

"Old... Ouch!!" Bazso was about to call Green over to check and confirm when the little girl kicked him in the groin. He immediately let go, bent over in pain, and was then punched in the face and knocked to the ground.

Pani, with her sharp eyes, seized the opportunity to pin Bazso down. Bazso, still in pain, couldn't break free for a moment.

When Green's vision, blurred by tears, returned, Bazso was already lying on the ground. Just as he was about to take out his greatsword to deal with them, those small figures appeared.

Why are they children? Green hesitated. Besides, killing someone in Wyndam City would definitely cause trouble, right? Maybe he should just beat them up.

"Hey! You guys..." Don't push your luck.

Before those words could be uttered, a child with silver-white hair stood out in the sunlight, his fist still stained with the blood from his own nose.

His beautiful eyes and mouth told Green that he was very unhappy.

"Give the doll back!!" The tone was tinged with anger, and the child's voice, still intact, was as beautiful as a little girl's—no, it was more beautiful than many little girls' voices. Especially after Green learned the other's identity, it was like heavenly music to his ears.

Oh my God, how can someone be so good-looking?!

Green suddenly felt his nose stop hurting and his anger vanish, his heart pounding wildly. What to do? How could she be so cute when she was angry? Damn it, he couldn't just give it back to her like that!!

"So...where's the money?" Green wiped the blood from his nose, forcibly suppressing the agitation in his heart, and looked at the girl with a roguish air as he spoke.

“I…” Grievance stammered, seemingly realizing that he was in the wrong.

Damn it, I rushed out today. In order to catch the White Dragon Knights' entry into the city, I didn't bring any money with me.

Seeing the little girl speechless, Green walked over with a mischievous grin.

"Where's the money?"

Gerry suddenly felt a little embarrassed to look at him and retreated to a corner.

Damn it, I was too hasty... Why didn't I have time to bring it today?

Damn it, why are we afraid of him! So what if he didn't bring any money? We can just rob him outright!

As Gerry thought about it, the guilt in his eyes instantly turned back into a fierce look. He hadn't expected Green to be so close; he had to look up at him!

"Get away from me! You jerk!" She shoved him hard across the face.

"Did you bring my doll?" Gerry retorted. If he hadn't, he could at least have given this guy named Green a good beating. Damn it, why does this annoying guy's name sound like his own?!

"Guess?" Green wasn't angry about being pushed away. He grinned and rummaged around in his pocket.

No way, right? Who would carry something like that around with them all the time...?

Just as Gerry was starting to have doubts, Green pulled something out of his pocket like a magician—the doll! His favorite doll had appeared out of Green's pocket just like a magic trick!!

Gerry was stunned. Why would he carry it with him at all times?!

Seeing the little girl's shocked expression, Green immediately grinned mischievously and moved closer.

"Hehehe, girl, where's your money?"

"I..." Gerry was speechless, he didn't even have an excuse to hit someone anymore. He was doomed, was he going to get beaten up?

Wait a minute? What girl?

Before Gerry could think of a solution, he felt his chin being lifted up, only to see a serious expression on the other person's face, as if the earlier embarrassment was all an act by this ill-intentioned boy.

What adorable lips! I just saw the doll's slightly parted pink lips when I was stunned, and they're so beautiful up close too.

Green couldn't help but kiss her. So soft. Is this what a little girl is like?

Gerry's brain almost instantly shut down, as if it was about to evaporate. A kiss was one thing, but why did she have to lick his lips?!

An indescribable sense of shame instantly overwhelmed Gerry's mind, followed by a near-collapse of rage!

Never before! No one has ever dared to bully him like this!

That bastard!!!

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah! ! ! ! !
