45 ◇ Ethereal Ice Girl, Decisions

"Cro."

As Ligal and I were talking in the store, the master called out to me.

He scowls and nods only for a moment at the room upstairs where Yusuke and Econa once stayed.

I mean, 'If you need to talk, use that empty room. If you can just stand there, you'll get in the way of the store. Yeah, also like to call Econa. I don't care if it lasts that long'.

When I said to Ligal, "... Ooh, and I often get that amount of information just by looking at me," he laughed bitterly.

Calling Econa, the three of us go up the stairs.

She didn't fight, but with a nervous face somewhere, she sat right on the bed.

Because I couldn't seem to secure enough space for the three of them to stand.

Yusuke leaned against the wall of those without a desk, and Ligal stood at the entrance.

"... ho, this is another menko girl (stomach). Not to mention the girls who can expect to be beautiful in the future... Cro, don't stare at me like that. It's just an adult feeling."

"I know. It's like a joke."

"I hope so... Oh, I've got eyes like a father holding a man who uses color on his daughter."

As he strokes his jaw, he says with a smile somewhere.

"Oh, um... Me, why was I called...?

With modest hands up, Econa seeped anxiety in her expression.

"Oh, I have something important to tell you from this uncle. Ligal."

He nodded when he sent his gaze all the time leaving the takeover of the story to him.

And I told Yusuke what I had just said while choosing words that would help the child understand.

"... in short, Econa and Ooshi can go back to the country. The reconstruction of the village will also take place in the name of reconstruction support. As long as it's painful, as a nation, you can't choose the form of apology."

That was something I had no choice about.

Even in the former world, many countries still do not offer apologies about past wars.

You can't admit you're not.

Because I also know that the redemption required at its end will also be on a national scale.

This was the greatest concession we could make as a nation.

Even if Lyke is wrong, Lyke belongs to no other Daltra.

Therefore, "I was wrong. I'm sorry" cannot be said even if my mouth is torn.

So this case is not only a “policy shift” nationally, but the liberation of slaves and the captivity of merchants who illegally purchased slaves are "expressions of intent to engage in peaceful negotiations".

That's not supposed to be an easy thing to do.

Ligal has probably been preparing for this for a long time.

Lyke's death may have been convenient to him in a way.

When I heard that, Econa looked very complicated.

"Oh, um... I'm really glad that all of the Gibbornes are free,. Besides, I'm so glad the war is over that we can all go back to the country and cry."

In fact, out of relief or her eyes were moist.

"... but I want to stay in this country. That's what I think. Is that unacceptable?"

To the answer, Ligal looked unexpected.

"... No, this surprised me. I've never answered that before, Ekona or Ooshi. It seems miraculously that you have been blessed to meet as a Giborne slave. - No, it was something you didn't even have to think about. Anyway, Crowe is a man who made himself an honorary minister in the reward of his credit for raising Oodle as a hero not long after he met. A good man without prejudice who also hires a saloon owner. I'm so impressed now!

Scream, he looks at this one.

"Excellent! This is a possibility! Nothing more than proof that even those with different blood can be united by bonds! Knock, knock, knock! I don't know yet, but this is a mistake! Ohsan defied the structure of the world and walked off the path to fine success! That's nothing more than a miracle, but it's a miracle to be a hero! Econaya!"

Once again, Ligal turns her gaze to Econa.

Busy neck.

"If you want to stay with Crowe, respect your intentions! However, we must look directly at reality and make a choice accordingly. Once attached, the perception of an" ex-slave ”would easily disappear from within Daltra. If you're going to live in a country like this, you're going to have a hard time seeing it. If you just want to be sweet on the clo, I suggest you go back to the country?

Yusuke even tried to pinch his mouth, but eventually stopped.

Because it's true.

As the daughter of a tavern like this, you can't end your life.

Ten years from now, all the way to twenty years from now, it's not necessarily going to be her own happiness to live as a chore help in Yusuke's house.

We live in reality, not in games, so we'll have to move assuming the future.

That's what Ligal is asking.

Don't you just like Kosuke?

Isn't that sweet?

Are you thinking about yourself?

Looking to the future?

I also think it's too early for a young girlfriend, but fifteen is an adult in Daltra.

In other words, twenty are treated as adults five years earlier than adult Japan.

Humans are basically organisms that replace spiritual qualities as the flesh grows.

The way the spirit adapts to the flesh is natural, depending on the state and the times.

Even Japan would have been different at the same age of fifteen in the era and modern times when the first clothes were fifteen.

If the age required to be replaced as an 'adult' drops by as much as five years, it makes sense that the mental level required for age will be higher.

In this country, it's no surprise that we think about the future at the age of Econa.

Even Kosuke doesn't want to hunt down Econa for anything.

However, Ligal's explanation is worth pressing for a choice.

Many men and old men were killed in the village of Econa. Because men have turned against each other, old men are not fit for slavery.

But not all men were killed, not all the people living in the villages were wiped out.

There are blood connected relatives alive, unlike Kosuke, just because they don't have direct parents.

Rigal says he will let them meet Econa properly.

More importantly, their side is worried about Econa.

She has a family that she hopes will guide her and live with.

So, not choosing it and being with Kosuke means nothing more than abandoning your hometown.

If so, it wouldn't be a strange story to need to show just enough reason for that.

Econa shows a slight hesitation and then speaks out.

"... oh, that. I have many magical attributes of aptitude. You know, Clara told me it would be good for me to enroll in college, and, you know, it's at this Sukisan's house, and I saw the magic equipment, and it's amazing. I can be someone who can make it, too, I think. So, when I asked, there was this thing called Witch Development and Wizard Development at the college, and I, the Wizard Department, was interested. So save your money and think you'll want to come in someday..."

Yusuke was surprised.

Because I never heard that from her.

I'm sure you knew that, to put it this way, Kosuke would soon go through the admissions process.

Then you'll be like a snake.

With her own money, she was trying to open up her own future.

He was much more of an 'adult' than Yusuke thought.

Ligal also seemed very impressed with this and nodded "ho ho ho" firmly.

By the way, the witches are the ones who study magic fixtures, and the magicians make magic fixtures.

A college is an educational institution where people with magical aptitudes can attend.

Basically, however, only noble blood families can break through the entrance exam.

This is true in terms of tuition, because it is extremely rare for those who do not have visitor blood in them to show high status in the first place.

It's just not impossible.

"I see. My friend also has a mage man, but that's a good job. enrich people's lives by the realization of ideas. The most noble man in the world (I) put down his faith, and he is the only one who can assure me without hesitation with his lifelong friends.... That's a slack. Then Econa, Ounsa will remain in Daltra to become a magician. Is that what you're saying?

"Yes......!

Ligal nodded happily and looked at Yusuke.

"Right, though?

It's like expecting something.

Yusuke just nodded knowingly and approached Econa.

"Econa. Sure, we're on par. So I think it's amazing that you think of yourself. When I was about you, I was just sweet to my parents. I respect you, as a single person. But I guess it's a little sad. Because you do, don't you? If my buddies dream about me, everyone's gonna want to be there for me. I'm sad you didn't even forgive me."

Econa looks like a hurry and waves in front of her face.

"Chi, no......! I don't want to inconvenience you."

"Yeah. Still sad. First of all, you smell like water. For example, do you think it's annoying that I cook rice or something?"

"No way! I'm so glad you're happy."

In response, Kosuke smiles.

"I am, Econa. I'd love to help you. So if you're going into college, let's hurry. I'll take care of everything you need."

"So, but... Even if you do that, there's no way to give it back."

There is still a part of Econa that is reluctant to be Kosuke.

I can't thank you enough, but if you're with me, you can treat me equally.

That's what Kosuke wants to bring out.

"Give it back to me in the future with results. It's a magic device made by Econa that makes everyone smile. Then I would have indirectly contributed to many people's smiles. Give me permission to support the future magician. If you're not sure you want to be a magician and you don't have anything else to do, you better go back to your country. Because at least there are compatriots there who live the way they have always lived and who share the same values. So tell me. If you really want to try, I'll give you my full support."

Communicate your thoughts.

Tough words, I say.

Just be nice, because it's not love.

Econa looked like she was hurt and held the end of the apron strong with her hand.

Keep gripping as long as you can wrinkle and eventually let go.

She was laughing.

"... I'll do my best. I, one day, Yusuke will also make amazing magic equipment."

"Oh, so?

"I want to join the college. Can you help me? … no, please help me"

She rephrases and the face is filled with determination.

Yusuke broke his expression so as to congratulate him on it.

"Of course, Econa"
