It's been hours since I left the village.
I can hear the village chief groaning from a nearby carriage.
As I listened and proceeded, from the direction of the king's capital.
I saw two people who looked familiar.
"Mother! Father!
The two of them noticed the call of Irvia,
Coming this way.
"What happened?
"Actually..."
When Irvia explains the situation, the look on their faces
Cloudy.
"Is that true!? Oh, no, not this way.
I can't believe this... "
My father looked like he'd chewed up a bitter bug.
That's what I said.
Even "over here"?
"Yeah, actually, there's volcanoes elsewhere.
I heard it erupted. "
It was my mother who answered my question.
Mother went on even though she looked pale.
"If we keep this up, it might be dangerous...
Return to King's Capital now......! "
"... mother?
To a mother with a rare and hurried look.
When I called, my mother looked hazy.
Then I turned to this one.
"... I'm sorry, Al.
Mom, I think I'm in a bit of a hurry.
It's okay, isn't it? Besides, this is our priority right now... "
My mother said something about Bosoboso.
As soon as I got back to smiling, I stroked my and Irvia's head.
"You were scared, weren't you? At times like this.
I'm sorry you're away, aren't you?
We both know exactly what the villagers are saying.
You heard me. It's great. "
That's what she said. She said we both were.
I held him tight.
Correspondingly, we both have a mother.
I held him back.
"It's all right now..."
My mother said in a reassuring voice when I heard her.
As you speak to me, one, outside the mosquito net.
The father who became seemed lonely.
"... you know, I...?"
Patience me now.
―――――――――――――
When we got to the evacuation site, everyone finally
I calmed down, but it was also in a flash, and I immediately got a tent.
I started building it.
We're building a tent from home, too.
"Bring me a proper tent.
Thank you. "
That's what my mother said and she smiled at me.
Then, Irvia strained her chest.
"I brought a lot more food too!
"Oh, great."
When my mother stroked Irvia's head,
Irvia narrowed her eyes to comfort.
There was someone who looked at it with envy.
"Nice..., I'm like that with my kids too...
All right, Al, let's talk. "
"I hear the whole thing, Dad. Rejected."
...
In an instant I sealed it off, and I went back to work.
I'll be spending at least a few days here.
If we don't build it properly,
"-Come on."
"Hmm?"
I heard a small voice, so I turned to the side,
My mother looked serious and was whining about something.
"I figured - so - I'd buy - I guess"
"... mother?
"I wonder what?
It was as if nothing had happened. My mother...
I turned this way.
"As I was earlier, are you okay?
Seems like you're thinking about it all by yourself, but... "
It's not the right thing to do, is it?
"Not so much if it wasn't for you.
You don't think about it, do you?
I don't mean to sound impossible.
For a father or someone you can trust and depend on.
Maybe we could talk about it, huh?
"... okay. Al, thank you for worrying."
That's why my mother held me tight.
Strong, tightly held.
"- Whatever happens... must be protected..."
That word I heard from my ear,
What has the ever pale complexion meant?
You'll soon find out.
