Dungeon Master Makeup Money (formerly known as Dungeon Master Funding)

……

A woman slowly opened her eyes and turned her head to the side.

A woman with pale hair was sitting in a chair and reading a book before she turned to her face.

"Ah, you awake?

A woman with pale hair - England also raised her head down to read a book as if she had noticed that the woman had woken up.

"Do you know me?

"Yeah."

"Really?"

"Yes, I remember everything."

The woman also had a good memory while being held captive by a giant.

"Yes, I'm glad I could undo it without a problem."

"Speaking of which...."

I noticed myself lying in bed.

A bed the size of a normal human, rather than a giant bed specially ordered for the Titans.

When I looked at my body again, I realized that I had returned to my previous appearance.

"Should I say thank you?

"If you want me to put you back, you can say it."

Woman - Mersa thanked me and accepted England.

However, England was a little nervous, which was meant to accept hatred at the same time.

"If you remember what happened, you might be expecting what happened, but I'll tell you."

"Yes"

Melsa was the mother of an outraged giant.

First of all, ten days have passed since then.

"That much....."

"The Titans were released, but there was no sign of waking up."

Geld, who was freed and able to move immediately, was abnormal.

Details are unknown, but it was determined that there was some difference between ordinary humans and the Titans that affected them.

The cause is immaterial.

If the same thing is expected to happen in the future, it is necessary to investigate the cause in order to plan countermeasures, but it is very unlikely that the same thing will happen.

"Um, who is she...?

"Dead."

Briefly, don't get emotional.

Really?

Melsa took it with regret, as expected.

"... then I'll have to bury you at least as a mother."

That's the last thing you can do as a mother.

Such thoughtful words.

"I'm afraid that's impossible."

"... why!?

What England has told me is a ruthless reality.

"We were depleted, so we came back to Monston with an illusion at the entrance so we couldn't find the cave that had evacuated the Titans."

The presence of the Titans was kept secret to the extent possible, so it was a necessary measure.

I had a lot of things to do, like cleaning up in the run-down Rior Valley, but I decided to take a break.

"Meanwhile, the bodies of the children, who became the elemental bodies of the giants, were incinerated by the adventurers."

For adventurers, the Titans only look like monsters.

In addition, if they were bigger than adults themselves, they would suspect their association with the Titans who had gone mad.

As a result, we did the right thing to keep ourselves safe.

"A monster could have become immortal. That's why they had to be incinerated."

"I understand."

Melsa is also an adult who grew up in a village where monsters could attack her.

I know that I have witnessed several times the moment the monster is defeated, so I need to deal with it in such a way that it cannot be reused.

"But she's human!

They were treated the same way as monsters.

It was strong enough to tear the mother apart.

"Knowing that, we moved on to restoring the remaining Titans without getting involved. So, at this point in time, the order from whom it comes back is important."

The first one to be returned was determined by the angels of England.

"I've been sent back by your mothers."

Melsa is in an infirmary with six beds lined up.

Every bed has a woman breathing regularly and sleeping.

After seeing her face for a long time, Mersa remembered that they were all the mothers of the Titans' children.

"Now that I can hear you honestly, why do you think I ran off?

"That's...."

Melsa startled.

She also remembered what happened the moment the runaway began.

"I threw her away....."

I regret the whirlpool.

She lamented the anomaly that had happened to her and was unable to accept her child even though she knew from the beginning that he was not normal.

And the moment I only saw hope, I abandoned my child.

"No... it's because I wasn't a good mother."

Depending on Mersa's response, a different future may have arrived.

At least the possibility of living was offered.

"--I 'll tell you something a little old."

"What do you mean...."

"There was a child born somewhere blessed by his family. But he was a child born with unstable magic and a little fever that made him fall asleep."

"That's...."

"The doctor said it might not be long."

That child is Vilma.

I used Sword of Exercise and Healing with my heart to help a child who was born ill. However, it was impossible to cure both birth disorders.

That's why Iris tried to strengthen his skills.

"But if I had experienced it myself, I might have understood, but [regression] couldn't make a sick child 'normal'."

"So, what's the matter?

"The reason she's not feeling well is because her body is burdened by magic."

So I decided to stabilize the magic in my body.

The problem can be stabilized by interfering with Velma when England is nearby, but it is not always seen while England is asleep. We must learn how to stabilize Wilma herself.

But the other person is a newborn child.

"You don't understand me when I explain it in words. So I learned how to stabilize my senses with patience."

I couldn't sleep for two years until you remembered. Of course, Sylvia and the others helped me during that time, but England was still taking the initiative to remind me of my own children.

It couldn't have been painful. Still, England did its best.

Thanks to him, the kid who was told it wouldn't last long was four years old.

I felt like I could be saved just by that.

I still feel sick now, but it has settled down to "a child who is a little prone to catching a cold".

"What did you do to her as a mother?

……

If I hadn't thought of anything, I wouldn't really have been a mother.

When I get up from the chair, I try to leave the room.

"And if you're willing to reflect, take advantage of it for the next time."

"Next time?

He must have had a father.

"Yes"

"This is a dormitory rented out for the former Titans. If he's back, he'll be asleep somewhere in the building, so you can meet him and discuss the future."

I was able to restore more than half of the Titans thanks to a little indifference.

With a father among about 40 of them, we can discuss the future when we wake up.

"Well, thank you."

"If you want to thank me, I just asked."

"I didn't get it back. To be honest, I was beaten up by reality, but now that I realized it wasn't working, I'm going to try to start my life over."

Mersa's body has returned five years before she became a Titan.

There's plenty of room to start over.

"Where are you going after this?

"I can't make a big deal out of it, but one of my friends found something interesting, so I'm going on a tour."
