The Story of the Wind Wanderer
Helping a Lost Boy #93

Altezza immediately cleaned the blood coming out of the scratches on the boy's knee, and then covered it with a plaster of the treatment carried. At that very moment, he took the time to ask, "why can you be chased by the bandits? What did you do to them?"

The boy looked a little down on his gloomy gaze and replied, "they are the ones who have been robbing people's houses for some time in recent times, and today I am thinking of replying to what they have done."

"Returned?" altezza asked, finished treating the small wound, and then tidied up his luggage again.

"This morning they seized one of the merchants' goods in our village, and I followed them away to this forest. When they were off guard, I took back the items they had snatched away, "the boy replied.

Altezza chuckled at what was said by a young boy sitting before him, leaning on a tree big enough and shady, enough to keep them both from overheating from the scorching sun.

"Oh yes, introduce it before! My name is Arthur, I'm 10 years old, and I'm from Vesperin Village." The boy soon changed the subject for a moment by introducing himself to Altezza.

"Vesperin Village?" muttered Altezza seemed to be wondering curiously.

The boy named Arthur nodded his head enthusiastically and with a sparkling gaze, "you want to stop by my village, Sister Wanderer? It's not far from here!"

"really? Which way?" altezza asked, holding his backpack back on his shoulder.

The boy named Arthur seemed confused to answer the question, he turned his head to the right and left repeatedly, before finally he chuckled at himself and said, "sorry, I seem to be lost here."

Altezza sighed, standing up he looked a little smile and shook his head. Arthur also stood up slowly after his knees were covered with small plaster, looking at Altezza and pleading, "can you take me back to the village?"

***

Altezza walked back after meeting with the bandits before, and now he decided to help the boy named Arthur back to his village or place of origin. Actually Altezza himself is not so sure, because he does not know the location of Vesperin Village, and Arthur who turned out to be lost does not know exactly where the way home.

"I was passing through these trees," said Arthur, seemingly trying to walk back down the streets he had been through before, "but it seems like this forest has many of the same trees," he continued, looking confused.

"Can you tell me how Vesperin Village is?" asked Altezza who was walking right next to the boy.

"Our village is also frequented by many travelers such as big brother, may even be one of the destinations of choice" continued Arthur, looking proud to tell about his village.

Altezza continued to walk through the many trees in the forest, following the steps of Arthur who tried to remember and follow the path he had passed before.

Not long after, from a distance in front there were a lot of people shouting, and they called out the name of Arthur. Altezza, who first heard it, said, "did you hear it?"

"A.n ...?!"

"Arthur, where are you!?"

Arthur was silent for a moment, before finally answering, "I know their voices!"

The steps of the boy named Arthur then got faster, running towards the source of the sound and not caring about his sore knee. Altezza just followed where Arthur ran from behind casually. Sure enough, from a distance there were many villagers who seemed to be looking for Arthur from outside the forest. They are also seen carrying some sharp weapons such as cleaver, hoe, rake and some other objects.

"Sir Alia!" arthur exclaimed with excitement, out of the dense forest, and then hugged a blond woman dressed as a nun.

A nun named Alia looked very happy and relieved when she met Arthur, as well as the boy who immediately embraced her. Not only the two of them, but some of the villagers who were there also felt the same way.

"Thank God, you're okay, right? What did they do to you?" alia asked, slightly lowered her head and asked Arthur who was very close to her.

Arthur nodded, smiled and replied, "they chased me to the forest, but fortunately there was a wandering brother who helped me."

At the same time when Arthur answered the question, Altezza walked out of the forest and immediately became the center of attention of all the villagers there, including Alia. The young nun with her blonde hair looked at herself with a smile, and then immediately uttered, "thank you ...!"

"Sister Altezza's name, he's a great man! I saw it with both eyes, he defeated the criminals with just a gust of wind" Arthur said with great enthusiasm and excitement, introducing Altezza to them.

Altezza just kept quiet and smiled a little at Arthur who seemed very enthusiastic about him. Similarly, done by a nun named Alia, she also tends to be silent and looks smiling looking at the boy.
