Night 38: garbage street\\
Kassim?\\
Yeah. The real leader of the fog corps\\
He is the one who manages the fog corps\\
He only wants that it seems that I’m the leader from the outside\\
What kind of relationship do you have with him?\\
A relationship similar to the one you have with ugo-kun\\
Yes… kassim was one of my friends since long in the past\\
10
got it, I’m the leader of this mountain now!\\
you are great kashim!\\
box: kassim 7 years old\\
I knew that there was no one who could oppose me.\\
Damn it…\\
Oooh!? Who’s there!?\\
11
heheh, you must not lower your guard kassim\\
box: alibaba 6 years old\\
because in this mountan… there are countless underground ways that I dig myself!\\
I called it the “tunnel killing method”!!\\
You are great alibaba!\\incredible!\\
Sfx: peropero\\
You bastard\\
You impertinent fool!!\\
You are the impertinent fool here!!\\
What…!?\\
We always got into fight like that but, basically we were similar\\
Every day we run around together in the garbage street\\
12
but it was not like we were exactly in the same condition\\
I had a gentle mother\\
Wow, you mother?\\
Yes her\\
She was a really gentle person\\
My mother was one of the prostitutes of the slums\\
Every time at evening, I returned in her arms\\
She was a bright person,\\
I was always happy with her\\
13
but it was different for kassim\\
his father was a good for nothing man\\
you fucking brat!\\
I told you to go get me my booze right!!?\\
Shut the fuck up, you cries annoy me!\\
I will fucking kill you!!\\
Kill you father you say? What kind of idea is that!!?\\
Stop!!\\
14
dammit, my booze, my fucking booze…\\
my mother always embraced kassim and his sister like they were her own children\\
my was a little jealous of them. It was like they were taking my mother away.\\
so, a certain day kassim’s father disappeared from the slums.\\
maybe he left his family and run away, or he just went someone dying of a dog’s death…\\
well that’s story that you hear often in the slums\\
so my mother adopted kassim and his siter\\
and we became a 4 member family\\
a family huh… it seems so lively and good\\
yeah lively and very fun\\
and then, that kind of life changed him\\
15
you know, kassim was a thief \\
but one day, the owner of one shop got him. And then…\\
I will make my own children not steal a second time. I will repay for what he stole.\\ this is my responsibility, if you have to hit someone, hit me please!\\
Stop it!\\
For kassim there wasn’t a parent that would do that for his own child.\\
And then from that day forth he began to be obedient\\
But then… one day my mother got ill and then died\\
That day I was really sad…\\
I was still a kid\\
I wasn’t even able to understand loneliness and sadness…\\
16
but, kassim did not cry. He is one year older than me, so he suddenly began to act like an older brother\\
don’t cry. From now on I will protect you\\
the three of us used our strength together and did our very best.\\
our life itself changed. My mother’s clients and her neighbourhood helped us.\\
we worked too. I did a lot of kinds of works. I pick up the garbage, cleaned shoes,\\
I event did the touristic guide for the foreigners visiting balbadd.\\
But, kassim’s situation changed a bit. He began to steal again\\
Plus he used the bad kids of the streets and became even more active than before…\\
17
kassim was protecting us but probably he was too desperate.\\
there is no need for you to do that\\
that’s why one day, I said to him “Want me to help too?”\\
you are different from me\\
w-what are you saying…\\
I understood this just recently. I’m a villain by nature\\
Because I spilled my father’s blood\\
But you are different right?\\ you are living in an honest way just like your mother…\\
k-kashim…\\
and then after a little while kassim said…\\
hey…\\we are friends right?\\
!? yeah! That’s for sure, right?\\
18
that day kassim was a little strange. I remember it even now\\
then after few days…\\
are you alibaba? There is person that wants to meet you, come!\\
he was balbadd’s king\\
king…\\
I was really surprised. I mean a king in the slums!\\
After that…\\
19
alibaba, you are my son\\
from now on you will live in the royal palace\\
I said that it was impossible. My mother was a prostitute, I probably was a son without a father…\\
But according to the king, my mother originally was a servant working at the royal palace\\
There my mother became the king’s mistress and I was born.\\
It didn’t make any sense but, I could not go against it\\
I was a cockroach from the slums and the other one was the king himself\\
20
anyway I spoke about it with kassim\\
the kings subordinates told me to not say to anyone that I was the king’s son. But kassim was different\\
he is my own family\\
he will stop me! Because the both of us want to be together\\
but\\
I knew it\\
“I knew it”…?\\
yeah…\\
I knew it was strange since the beginning. Why there is someone like you here?\\
…? W-what do you mean by that…?\\
the same fucking meaning\\
the reason because we cannot be comrades…\\
21
I don’t like it\\
You don’t steal\\ you are not evil\\ every fucking time you are alone you behave like a good person\\
Me and you, even if we are both born in this world, are two different kind of people!\\
Just get the fuck out of here!\\
I hit him. Again and again\\
From that day I left the slums behind\\
And then, my life totally changed…\\
22
it’s big…\\
they washed my body, make me put on expensive clothes and shoes, and from that day forward I was the “prince”\\
isn’t that funny?\\
but a harsh live waited for me from that day onward…\\
I was a filthy brat that came from the slums. Every time the people of the royal palace looked at me, their eyes became cold\\
Especially the princes abumad and sabumad looked at me like I was just garbage\\
Plus even the person that brought me there, the king, in the royal palace totally ignored me\\
23
I was alone\\
Plus they imposed on my a daily harsh training\\
Way of talking, way of walking, way of eating food, swordsmanship, commercial science, maths and other subjects.\\
To be honest, I did not like to study and swordsmanship so it was really hard\\
Ah! But commercial science extracurricular practice was really fun!\\
Plus; I did not dislike reading books. Especially adventure novels, in the streets there was the boom of “dungeons’ conquer”\\
In any case I did my best. Plus I did not have a place to return to…\\
But, while I was doing that, the eyes of the people around me began to change.\\
24
one part of the people began to casually talk to me…\\
and even I became close to prince sabumata\\
after just 3 years my days in the slums were only far memories\\
but mysteriously I began to revive those memories again\\ the memories about the place were I was born and raised…\\
one day I slipped out of the royal palace\\
I wanted to take a glance of the slums\\
25
but there was nothing there\\
but the garbage street was cleaned before I knew it, and there weren’t even the traces of it\\
and there was no one…\\
of the people that lived there\\
then, I was at lost and reluctantly was going back to the royal palace\\
and then…\\
26
I wonder why I met kassim that time\\
If that time… I did not slip out from the royal palace…\\
If I did not met him that time…\\
That incident would never happen\\
