Episode 28. Fabro (2)
On the other side of my consciousness, a sonorous voice kept repeating itself.
Uncle… … .
Uncle told us… … .
You have to be nice to us… … .
You have to be nice to us… … .
You have to be nice to us!
“Huh!”
Fabro woke up, kicking off the blanket, to the sound of a voice echoing in his dream.
“Hehehe.”
Fabro’s forehead was drenched in cold sweat.
He frowned, wiping off his sweat.
“shit! “I’ve never had a nightmare like this in my life!”
Fabro was haunted by Lois’ words throughout his sleep.
Fabro forced his body, groggy from the nightmare, to stand up.
“Why am I so anxious?”
Trembling with an unknown sense of anxiety, he hurriedly got dressed.
I felt like this anxiety wouldn’t go away unless I quickly found out that those little kids were locked up in prison.
Then he looked at his room and tilted his head in confusion.
“Where did the snowy white tiger go?”
A pure white tiger that lives in the snowy plains.
The fully grown Snow White Beom was one of the best beasts that even monsters hated.
He hit the animal with a hammer, skinned it, and hung it proudly in his bedroom, but the skin of the snowy white tiger was nowhere to be seen.
“hmm… … .”
An uneasy feeling welled up deep within my chest.
“Ugh… … .”
Unable to bear the rising anxiety, Fabro left the room and walked toward the prison.
Meanwhile, Fabro encounters Robber No. 2.
“uh? boss?”
“What are those kids doing?”
“yes? Oh, them? “I’m fine.”
“You didn’t get out of jail or anything, did you?”
“Yes, not even a single step was taken.”
“Yeah, really?”
“Yes, inside the prison… “It’s very nice.”
Fabro heaved a sigh of relief at the confident remark of Robber No. 2.
Only then did the anxiety subside a little.
“Let’s go see.”
“yes!”
Favreau walked ahead of Robber No. 2.
Fabro soon arrived at his destination and smiled happily when he saw his men camped in front of the prison.
“Boss, are you here!”
“You guys are having a hard time… … .”
Fabro patted the shoulders of his subordinates who had worked hard to guard the prison last night and looked inside the prison.
“… … ?!”
His mouth dropped open.
Fabro shouted with a shocked face.
“Well, what is all that?”
“yes?”
His subordinates looked at him strangely at his astonishment.
“What do you mean?”
“That one over there!”
Fabro’s finger pointed inside the cage.
Objects scattered inside the cage, specifically around Lois and the children.
All kinds of food and warm blankets.
A brazier that heats up various beverages for you to drink when you are thirsty.
There.
“Why is that there?!”
Fabro pointed his finger at the inside of the cage.
The snowy white tiger skin that had disappeared from his bedroom was being used as a soft rug for the children.
“Hey, how did this happen!”
Robber No. 2 looked strangely at Fabro, who was shaking, and tilted his head.
“yes?”
“Why is it shaped like that?”
“What are you talking about? “The boss brought all of those things, right?”
“… what?”
Fabro’s face went blank.
he asked incredulously.

“that is… What are you saying?”
“Why are you really like that from earlier? “Hasn’t the boss been diligent in bringing it since last night?”
“… … ?!”
“I asked him why he did that, but he didn’t even answer.”
“… … .”
Fabro was at a loss for words.
Looking at Robber No. 2 and other subordinates who consistently looked at him as strange, it seemed like they were not lying.
“her… … ?”
If that’s the case, then it really means that you brought me all that stuff last night… … .
Fabro’s head jerked back inside the cage.
There, my eyes met Lois, who was sipping on her drink.
“Hello, mister!”
Lois waved her glutinous rice cake-like hand and smiled at Fabbro.
‘It’s him!’
Last night’s nightmare.
And a strange phenomenon that happened to me.
The only thing that was different from usual was that I met that little boy.
While Fabro had a serious expression on his face, Lois nodded and pointed at the iron bars.
“Uncle Fabreau, can you open this?”
“… … .”
At this, Robber No. 2 glared at Lois with an angry face and shouted.
“You brat! I know who this person is! Play with your tongue carelessly! “This is the leader of the Blood Ax Bandits who can make crying children stop crying!”
“Oh yeah?”
Robber No. 2 said something grandiosely, but Lois picked her ears as if asking where the dog was barking.
The twins, who were awakened by a loud voice, yawned and clung to Lois.
“Roy… Noisy.”
“I’m sleepy… … .”
Lois nodded again, stroking the heads of the twins who were lying on her knees.
“How long are you going to stand there? “Aren’t you going to open it?”
Fabbro’s eyes wavered at Lois’ low voice.
“The kid said let’s see… … ”
“… open it.”
“… yes?”
“Open.”
“boss!”
Robber No. 2 opened the cage with a dissatisfied expression on the face of the leader who remained steadfast despite his opposition.
Rattling-.
The iron bars are wide open.
“Hey, wake up. “Let’s go sleep somewhere else.”
“I don’t like it… … .”
“I’m sleepy… … .”
Lois sighed and waved her hand at the sleepy, whimpering twins.
“Come here and listen to me.”
“… … .”
Favreau, with mixed emotions for a moment, picked up the twins.
One in each arm.
The children were comfortably held in the arms of the huge man Fabro.
“Your bedroom was nice. “Let’s go there.”
At Lois’s words, which were almost like commands, Fabro turned his foot around without saying a word.
Then he left a message to Robber No. 2.
“Stand by until I call.”
“boss… … ?”
Robber No. 2’s expression seemed completely incomprehensible.
Leaving him behind, Lois and the twins disappeared.
Additionally, a small shadow passed over the head of Robber No. 2, who was standing blankly.
* * *
thud-.
The huge door closed and Fabro laid the twins on his bed.
After tossing and turning for a while on the soft leather bed, the twins fell asleep as if they had fainted.
Lois turned her head with a stinging gaze.
Fabro was there with a confused look on his face.
Fabro, who paused for a long time, opened his mouth.
“how… who are you.”
“Who am I?”
Lois answered that question with a smile.
“I’m sure you already know the answer to that question, right?”
Lois’ answer added even more confusion to Favreau’s face.
It was then.
“Lois niiiiim! “Why are you leaving me alone again?”
A small shadow fell from the ceiling.
Fabro’s eyes widened at the sudden appearance of Finn.
“Yo, fairy?”
A fairy who disappeared a long time ago and whose existence is now only known in books.
When I received the real thing, I couldn’t help but be surprised.
Finn pointed at Fabro as he looked at him.
Finn floating with his arms crossed in front of Favreau’s face, which is larger than his own body.
The guy kept tilting his head.
“Hmm… … ?”
“… … ?!”
“Umm… … .”
Finn, with a puzzled expression on his face, flew around Fabro in circles.
He even sniffed and smelled Fabro’s scent.
Every time that happened, Fabro’s large body twitched.
Finally, Finn returned to Favreau’s face again and showed a truly incomprehensible look on his face.
“What is this?”
“This… … .”
Fabbro muttered in despair at Finn’s attitude, which seemed to be appreciating him.
Soon words came out of Finn’s mouth that made his face stiffen.
“It definitely smells like a dwarf… It’s as big as an orc… Is this a dwarf or an orc… … ? Or is it a human?”
“… … ?!”
Favreau, surprised by Finn’s words, widened his eyes.
Lois chuckled and said.
“He’s a dwarf mix. “Maybe it’s the child of a human and a dwarf?”
“But why is it so big?”
“that… “I don’t know either.”
While Lois and Finn were talking about various things, Fabreau’s face became even more rigid.
An embarrassed voice came out from his thick lips.
“Well, how could that… … .”
Lois’s purple eyes turned.
The corners of his mouth were still slightly smiling.
“I told you.”
“… … .”
“I bet you already know who I am.”
“… … ?!”
A memory from a long time ago flashed through Fabbro’s mind as he looked into Lois’ jewel-like eyes.
* * *
Fabro.
He was a mixed race, born 50 years ago to a dwarf father and human mother.
It was extremely rare for a dwarf, who rarely appears in the human world, to marry a human, but for a child to be born between them was something of a miracle.
Fabro, who was born with half dwarf and half human blood, was dexterous like his father and curious like his mother.
One day, the father sat young Fabro in front of him and said,
“Son, there is something that we dwarves must absolutely abstain from.”
“Taboo?”
“It’s about saying what you shouldn’t do.”
Fabro’s father tried to teach his young child the taboos of the race.
Because that was knowledge that dwarf fathers must pass on to their children.
Young Fabro tilted his head as he saw his father’s serious expression for the first time.
“What is that?”
“That’s it… … .”
My father seemed to be thirsty just thinking about the taboo, so he picked up the glass of alcohol next to him.
He barely passed the drink with trembling hands and let out a breath mixed with the smell of alcohol.
“Paha!”
As a child, Fabro remembers his father as a cheerful adult.
That’s why I still can’t forget that day.
The sight of my father being so afraid of something.
“ha… “Son.”
Fabro’s father, encouraged by alcohol, opened his mouth.
“if… “If only.”
“yes.”
“… If you feel numb in your crooks and your whole body is shaking as if you have chills when you see someone in front of you… Also, if you feel obedient to the person in front of you regardless of your will… “Run away.”
“yes?”
“Since you are not a pure dwarf, perhaps you can escape the bondage of blood. Even so, it is clear that since you are born with this father’s blood, you will not be able to be completely free.”
“… “What do you mean?”
“I hope that doesn’t happen to you… Maybe… “If something like that happens, be sure to run away!”
“What if I can’t run away?”
“Then I’ll just peel it the way they tell me to peel it!”
The father continued speaking while looking directly into his son’s wide-open eyes.
“Even if a long time passes, never forget this. “Our species is famous for being stone-headed, but since we are born with half-human blood, we are probably not really stone-headed.”
“however… “What are those ‘who’ doing?”
Soak-suk-.
The father, surprised by Fabro’s remarks, hurriedly covered his son’s mouth.
My father’s hands were shaking.
Eup!
Fabro stamps his feet.
His father’s trembling voice flowed into his ears.
“Shh! Their ears are always open, Inseok! “Don’t go anywhere and talk nonsense!”
“Eup!”
“They are… … .”
That day, his father’s slightly trembling voice was imprinted on Fabro’s soul.
With a taboo that must never be forgotten.

Fabro awakens from a flashback from a long time ago.
His eyes were colored with astonishment.
“Stand, stand, no way?!”
Lois’s smile deepened as she saw Fabbro taking a step back in surprise.
