To Deprive a Deprived Person Chapter 287: Human history

Chapter 287: Human history

Children were gathering one after another in the village square. Although the children were sitting on the ground, the lawn planted there was like a natural carpet that was comfortable to touch.
"Has it started yet?"
"Not yet. Fast fast"
"King, good morning"
"Where are you?"
The high-pitched voices of children pass through the square.
"Can I start now?"
Yuu, who is lying down with his back on Koro, confirms with the children.
"It's okay"
"It's good?"
"Yup"
"Odono-sama, everyone is okay"
Yuu gets up in response to a report from Namari. Koro and Ran are taking a nap early, perhaps because of the cheerful weather and the pleasantness of the grass.
"Okay, let's get started――"
"King, are you sure?"
Rubanov appears, blocking Yuu from the children's eyes. Naturally, the children complained.
"What is it"
"What I forgot to report at the meeting the other day, I would like the King to judge it by all means"
"You guys should decide it by yourselves"
"What are you talking about? You are the king of this country"
"As you can see today, I'm having an appointment with them"
"I don't want a promise with the children to be in line with national affairs"
Rubanov emphasizes how important the story is, but Yuu isn't interested.
"You look like a human"
"What. Again such a thing"
"If you can't judge by yourself, report it to Russ. I made a promise with the kids today"
"That's right!"
"We made a promise"
"We were the ones who were quicker!"
"Even if you´re an adult, but that's strange"
Children surround and condemn Rubanov.
"Th, This stop. Oucchh, don't pull my beard! Okay, I understand! I'm sorry. I apologize, please forgive me"
The children release Rubanov, probably because he obediently admitted the blame.
"I have to suffer......"
Rubanov, tired, sighs as he adjusts his crumpled beard.
"Hahaa. That's why I told you, didn't I?"
"King, it's not a laughing matter. Nuwaa!? Going, I'm going, so don't stare at me"
Perhaps he felt a bad sign from the children, Rubanov hurriedly escaped from the square.
"King, story"
"Well"
Usually noisy children quietly wait for Yuu's words. Yuu opens his mouth while looking over the quiet square.
Once upon a time, much longer than the Holy Calendar. At that time, most races, such as beastmen, elves and dwarves, despised humans as a vulnerable race. The human race was so weak that they lived in fear of their days like insects crawling on the ground. At one point, a girl visits the Holy Country of Jardalk from nowhere. They didn't know when and where the girl came from. The characteristic tribal girl with her black hair and black eyes invites the Holy King to change the world of her tribe. Everyone thought that was impossible. The difference in power between humans and other races was so desperate. But the black-haired girl didn't give up. Every day, she persuades everyone to save the innocent people who live side by side with death and the weak children. While everyone in the human race was giving up, one girl might be struggling and those who were laughing at her gradually changed their thoughts as more and more people cooperated with the girl.
Eventually, the black-haired girl begins to be called the 『Black Saint』 by her people because of her distinctive hair color and her achievements. Not only the Holy Country of Jardalk, but also other countries cooperate with the girl. People who lived in fear of other races, with their days as monsters, decided to fight.
At first it was the beastmen. It is a terrifying race that has a physical ability far exceeding that of humans, has an excellent sense of smell, claws and fangs that humans do not have, and intelligence unlike monsters and it is not uncommon to attack in groups. The black saint persistently negotiates with the beastmen and finally concludes an anti-war treaty with the beastmen king.
"What is an anti-war treaty?"
"It's a promise to stop fighting between the humans and beastmen"
Next, elves, dark elves, and dwarves and other races that had only been involved by fighting one after another, began to interact with each other. They noticed that the black saint had become the hope of mankind. The Black Saint proved that even if one person is weak, they can change the world if they all work together.
The blood shed for that reason is not small. Still, the number of people dying has decreased compared to before. Above all, the hope of the black saint gave the human race the power to live. However, the overwhelmingly powerful races called god-like, such as the dragons, the devils and the ancient giants, did not agree with the idea of ​​the Black Saint. But still people weren't discouraged. Because they were able to get drunk with a drink called Hope. Everyone was in the heat. Now is the golden age that will be talked about for a long time in the future. They are living in a legend. Without knowing that they were deceived by the black saint――
"Hey, I'm scared......"
"It's alright"
The actions of the Black Saint so far have been to gain the trust of humans and other races. From some time on, the Black Saint reveals her true nature. A lot of blood flows against monsters and other races and heroes and famous knights die one after another. Everything was as planned by the Black Saint. A huge amount of sacrifices were needed. And――finally, the Black Saint summoned a ridiculous thing. It was called the thing who existed because it was spite of even calling the name.
The first person to notice the thing was one of the eight great dragon kings, the fighting dragon. It was the bloodiest dragon of the eight great dragon kings, but he died without any means against the thing. And the powerful people of various races who noticed the thing challenged one after another, but the result was visible. Even one of the eight great dragon kings couldn't win in the face of the thing that couldn't even touch the teeth.
"Are all going to die?"
"Shh"
Everyone was aware that the world would be destroyed as it was. Not just themselves. They had to bring together the power of all the races to challenge things, but not everyone tried to join forces. This was also what the black saint expected. She was driving a wedge deep into everyone's hearts that they couldn't believe other races. All she has to do now is watch the world perish and the black saint screams. However, there were those who did not give up.
It was the human race.
It was the race that called other races to join forces, but no one listened to them who were deceived by the Black Saint, saying that they could not trust what the human race said. Still, only the human race won't give up. How long has it been since the thing appeared? How many races and lives have been lost? Accepting the fate of death, everyone gives up and the world is filled with despair. However, five heroes stood up from the human race who never gave up. No matter how many times they challenge the thing and lick the ground, they stand up. All races are excited by their unbreakable appearance and their unyielding heart. New hope was born in despair. With the five heroes at the forefront, the powers of all races combine to finally succeed in destroying the thing. At that time, five lights pierced the five heroes as if God blessed them. The first year-the holy calendar begins so that everyone doesn't forget that they have destroyed the thing. The five heroes are called 『The heroes of the beginning』 and their descendants are still wielding the sword of justice for the innocent people.
"This is an old tale that has been passed down to the human race"
Children who listen to Yuu many times and hear the story for the first time let out a hot sigh.
"King, tell the real story"
When Inpika says so.
"Do it!"
"What is the real story?"
"I want to hear"
"King, please"
Other children follow Inpika.
"I understand, don't climb up"
Yuu takes down the children who climb up his body and beg.
"The previous story was a lie old tale made by the human race,and what I'm going to tell you now is the true story I investigated"
Before he knew it, adults were also listening to Yuu's story, mixed with the children.
"Once upon a time, the Holy Country of Jardalk――"
With that said, Yuu continued talking.
