I was lying in a hammock and I woke up with the sound of Friesha coming back to my room.
When I looked at the lily next to me with a blurry vision... I just looked at her.
"Were you awake?
"Not long before the Cape, I had plenty of sleep to indulge in."
Even if you were a lily opponent, how embarrassing to be observed defenseless.
"Looks like you've been sleeping well, Misaki"
"Thanks to you. I'm glad you're getting along with Ellea."
"Friesha told me a lot of fun stories, unlike Misaki."
I've been sarcastically told.
But as far as that soft look goes, he looks pretty good in person.
As the word goes, I wonder how fresh and interesting Friesha's story was.
"I think it's time to get ready for dinner, does Ellea want to sit in the living room?
"Yes, it's fine around there."
"Well, I guess I'll help Friesha make dinner. We need to show Cape where we can cook."
"I could cook."
"I'm going to be able to do more than the average of the girls in the world, and I'm going to make you say it's delicious, so be prepared."
Saying so and kissing her cheek, Lily stepped down the hammock.
As Friesha sits Ellea in her living room chair, she heads to the kitchen with Lily.
"If you're cooking, I can help you."
In the living room, the labby stood up, relaxing while reading the book that was at home.
"Can you cook rabbies, too?
"Cooking is a lower end role, so it may not be the same direction as women's delicate dishes"
"Don't worry, I don't like delicate food either!
Friesha said with her chest stretched.
Sure, the word delicate doesn't suit a wild childish frisha.
They're going to judge the beasts there and show off their dynamic dishes.
When this happens, it means that the lilies that seem to only be able to cook typical Japanese home-cooked dishes are completely awesome.
Even though I was a little worried, I couldn't cook, but I could only drop off three people who disappeared into the kitchen.
Silence flows through the living room.
As soon as Friesha and the others disappeared, Ellea's expression became cloudy.
I wonder if it was an affectionate laugh that was directed at her.
No, it didn't look that way, and most importantly, I don't think she would do such a clever imitation.
It is true that I enjoyed interacting with Friesha.
But is it also true that there was a topic with a cloudy expression?
"Ellea, what have you been talking to Friesha outside?
"You made me hear a lot about what happened after I moved to the mountains and what happened before that... sad things"
"Like what happened when they kicked me out of town?
"I wish that was all..."
There is even more shadow in Ellea's expression.
It was actually a much worse reality than I imagined, but all I'm saying is.
"I wonder if getting kicked out doesn't just mean my parents aren't around"
"You can't tell Masaki the details because it involves Friesha's privacy, only that it's tragic"
"My parents were murdered and maybe they lived in the mountains so they could escape. The reason they kicked me out is because I can put my mind through demons. Parents may have had similar powers."
"... Huh?
Easy to understand reactions.
If you want to hide it, don't think Ellea should wear some more poker faces.
"I can generally predict, at a time when I live in such a remote place. I've heard there's a lot of demons around Thame, and I'm guessing she pushed Friesha's family and herself to blame for the damage."
"Well...... you get it. I still can't believe that's happening."
"Because Ellea is sweet"
"Is that ironic?"
"It means exactly what you say, though I may not be complimenting you"
But the fact that it's happened, I can't change how sweet she is.
In the face of an irresistible reality, Ellea must be distressed to learn that the beliefs she has believed in don't work.
You can just give up and admit that the world is overflowing with malice, but that's how you're going to suffer because you're weirdly stubborn.
"I think Friesha's kind in a way, too. They take my parents' whereabouts, but they don't want revenge."
If I were you, I'd take revenge somehow because of all that powerful anima power.
"How about, what is it? I can't really put it in words, but in Friesha's case, it's not just being nice... I don't feel like I think the people in town are the same creatures I am."
"Don't you think it's the same creature?
"Yes. I don't care, because we can't get through to each other anyway. I felt like I was giving up.
I don't think I can understand that word alone.
But I felt empathetic about that little shard.
I can kill them without any pain in my conscience because I think their lives are worthless.
It may be worth putting it on the point that dying clears my feelings, but in the right sense, all worthless of life, as the world generally calls it, is nothing.
Just like that, Friesha realized that it was useless to avenge anything because she felt they were worthless.
"Give up, huh?"
"I just feel like Misaki and Friesha are alike because the vectors they are facing are different"
"Give up and pierce your indifference, or run for revenge as you wish."
Perhaps Friesha's indifference was not only to the people of the town, but also to other human beings.
That's why she looked fine in the fight earlier and tried to kill her classmate.
On the other hand, he was interested in us... because, like me, Friesha felt something similar towards me?
"It looked especially alike around how hard we talked, no matter how hard we talked"
We and Ellea see a different world, and we stand in different phases.
That's why I can't touch my heart and mind.
On the surface, even if the conversation seems to be in place, it's in a deeper part.
"But even though they're indifferent, they want the people in the theme to do something about it."
"What?
"He wants me to apologize, just one word."
If you are indifferent, what do you want me to apologize for?
You give up, just the words on the top, what the hell is going to save you?
"Your parents have been executed and died, because they will still treat you like a sinner in the Theme"
"You mean you want to help the parents of the afterlife by uncovering wrongdoing"
"There was also your parents' tomb at the end of the field behind you, but they said your body wasn't there. So extra, I guess that's what you think."
It's hard to even think of putting the bodies of executed sinners in the town's graves.
It would have been abandoned somewhere, so I can't even take it back.
"I don't want to get involved, but I want your parents' honor back. That's all that matters."
"You must have been a fine parent, I envy you"
"... Yep, I agree"
I guess that's why I was so shocked when I lost it.
I hear three pleasant voices coming from the kitchen.
Although Friesha is behaving brightly, that wound must still not be healing.
"A moment later, wasn't Misaki trying to take Friesha to his own revenge?
"I was aware of that. I was just wondering if I could go and see him try to kill his opponent relentlessly in the battle earlier. But Ellea told me and I came to a conclusion."
"You're giving up."
"Yeah. Probably wouldn't follow me if I asked you out."
Tomorrow morning, we'll be here as planned.
Ross for the day was born, but I don't think it was a wasted stopover.
The physical fatigue of me and Lily and the restoration of the mental fatigue of Rabbi and Ellea.
And most importantly - to have a wind hole in Ellea's hard will.
This was the best achievement for me.
◇ ◇ ◇
The dinner that day was lined up with a number of temperamental dishes made by the Frieshas.
The main dish of vegetables taken in the field is the meat of animals similar to the boar Marna and Garm have picked.
The cuisine of this world is often filled with spices that you are unfamiliar with, and most dishes are delicious in flavor.
Still, the food that seemed delicious was invaluable even if you stopped by the town cafeteria and didn't meet inside.
In addition, the dishes made by Lily became conscious of the taste of the Japanese, and they were able to eat so-called "flavorful” dishes that had not been felt for a long time.
Sleep well in the futon at night.
Ellea is with Friesha, Marna and Garm.
Labby took care (...) to lay a futon in the living room.
Me and Lily had one futon together in the guest room.
While I wonder what it's like to do that in people's homes - it seems that Lily's patience was the limit of everything.
Only Lily and I stayed up a little more late than the others.
And the next morning, after a light breakfast, we decided to leave Friesha's house quickly.
"I'm glad you're here more, huh?
She stopped us lonely, but she can't stay any longer.
Because it would bother Friesha.
"I'm sure I'll see you again, I look forward to that time"
"Absolutely. I'm waiting for something better than yube, so you're definitely coming, right?
"Yeah, be sure."
There are tears at the end of Ellea's eyes.
Though there were many different parts, she had spared her goodbyes, too.
When the vengeance is over, I'll come back and see you.
When you destroy the kingdom, you need to contact them beforehand so they don't get involved.
We need to be careful not to get involved as much as we can.
"Bye! Come back here! Absolutely, absolutely!
"Yes, I'll see you again, Friesha!
Waving loudly towards the carriage that runs away, Friesha.
There are melting tears from those eyes.
Ellea must have noticed her tears when she heard her trembling voice too.
The mouth was naturally loose.
◇ ◇ ◇
Down the mountain, when you see the town of Thame, roughly the rabbi opens his mouth.
"With that said, Mr. Friesha is also a man of the kingdom, isn't he? Aren't you the object of Mr. Misaki's revenge?"
The excitement of the parting gradually cooled and Ellea's tears were completely dry.
I really wanted to hear it a long time ago, and now I guess I thought it was the right time.
Errea gave a slightly upset look when she heard Rabbi's query, but she didn't try to complain in particular.
"Rabbi wouldn't know, but she was also, in a way, a man with a grudge against the kingdom. He said he didn't have enough vision to kill her like that."
"I knew she had a point."
"So if you say (...), won't you pass it on to a rabbi who doesn't know the circumstances? Well, I guess I'd rather destroy Thame if I had the chance."
"That's a horrible thing to say..."
It could be horrible indeed.
But the people who live in the Theme are no less horrible and ugly than they are.
I was in the mood to destroy everything, even soon, if I didn't have Friesha's desire to "apologize for just one word”.
"... ha"
Ellea sighed loudly when she heard me say "destroy”.
I'm usually supposed to stick my teeth out and vehemently disagree.
I guess she couldn't deny it without a headache because she knows more about the dirt in that town than I do.
Even though she's a Virgin.
I should have believed in people's good intentions.
The carriage goes further and finally reaches the town of Thame, slipping away from the other carriages from time to time.
Tame is even smaller than Dinde and is clearly a "country town” on a scale.
No one would have tried to live in this area, which is full of demons, had it not benefited from abundant soil, sunshine, abundant water and fertile earth.
Plus, the ”Zoub" in this city was brought from the outside.
They have a sturdy, boneless, yet large building in the center of town that prevents the expression of anima in it.
And to protect them, two more Animus - "Plumbum” custom planes - are deployed than Dinde.
Perhaps with this, one or two animators should also be stationed.
A sturdy defense not commensurate with a small town.
That's worth protecting, I wonder how fancy the crops we produce in this town are.
If you look around, one building at a time is big for the country town.
Even in the countryside, you mean not necessarily poor?
Upon arrival in front of the inn, only three of us, Lily and Ellea, descended and Rabbi headed to the town store.
'I'm going to go grocery shopping, so please keep your room first'.
I had a somewhat unpleasant feeling about looking at the size and little beauty of the building, but the advice, the inn was a primus...... no, if I did poorly, it would have cost more than Caputo.
Well, I still have the money I took from the merchant, so I don't have a problem with it, but it's a little unreasonable for you to charge so much for the country town.
Bohu.
When I entered the room, the lilies jumped into the fuzzy bed.
I feel like the quality of the room is worth the price.
"Come on, Cape, come here too!
Tense lilies in bed invite you with your hands open.
I sat on the edge of the bed with a dry reaction to the invitation.
"Well, I felt that way somehow."
Then I wish I didn't have to.
This one's got Ellea on her back, so there's no way you can jump in.
... I would have been on it if it was just the two of us.
"Beautiful town."
Once Ellea's body lay in bed, she said with a bitter laugh.
I don't see it but it's beautiful... I guess you mean the smell.
It did look beautiful, though, with the ground paved or lots of new houses.
That might have been a little ironic on her part.
Leaving Friesha's parents dead, I wonder why the town is so beautiful.
So much so that the rabbi came back.
The four of us roll out to the town of Thame, checking the signs to avoid getting into the luxury store by mistake, and looking for a dinner store.
Although we found a store that was somewhat more expensive, there was no denying that it was insufficient compared to the dishes that Friesha behaved like.
◇ ◇ ◇
The night is late without a thing, and the morning is coming without a thing.
The first person to wake up that day was Ellea, who slept in another room.
Time for the sky to just turn white.
Of course, me and Lily were still asleep, twirling in one futon.
Concon, and is caused by the sound of knocking on the door.
Because of my experience with Dinde, I was activating Nature and the Despicable Overlook (Life-Tocher).
… are there two people?
Mr. Misaki, are you awake?
I can hear Rabbi from the other side.
So would the other reaction be Ellea?
As I walked out of bed carefully to keep Lily awake, I opened the door gently as I slept. [M]
"Good morning, Mr. Misaki"
There he was, a sleepy, narrow-eyed rabbi and a slightly serious-looking Ellea held in his arms.
Good morning, sir.
"Yeah, well... what's wrong with you both, at this hour?
"Mr. Ellea woke me up and said I smelled something from the outside."
"What's the unpleasant smell, exactly?
"... it smells like blood"
says Ellea as she blues her face.
If it's just the smell of blood, it's possible someone got hurt.
But let's be frightened, it's not just the blood, isn't she smelling something else?
"Rabbi, can you wait in this room? I'll look outside with Ellea."
"Okay, Mr. Lily..."
"Try not to wake me up, because it's not even an emergency."
If you need to hurry, Ellea must be in a hurry.
I look like I'm activating a despicable overlooker.
Outside the inn, there was certainly a multitude of human reactions there around where there was a square.
I carry Ellea in a fabric band and head straight to the square.
Just because people are gathering doesn't mean the culprit of the smell of blood is there.
But he said I was right. [M]
In addition, Ellea herself continues to think that she is probably right because she does not specify any particular direction.
Exit the inn, turn the alley, exit onto the boulevard, and proceed straight.
Approaching the square, Ellea's breathing becomes rough and her body trembles.
When I rang my nose, I felt the smell of blood mixing in with the wind flowing from the other side.
The town of Dawn Theme is very beautiful, but inorganic.
The smell of blood smelling in such a place, not yet tamed with the traces of people's lives, was somewhat creepy.
Eventually, we finally arrive at the square.
It's a bustle where people gather and remind them of the festival.
But if there's no store, there's no stage there to show the stuff.
All there is is is a wooden frame, made in the center.
Is it about 3 meters tall?
The gaze of the people was directed there, in alignment.
Perhaps now, something will be on display.
"Ha... ha... ahhh..."
"Ellea, are you okay?
"Ah, gu... uhh..."
Looks like it's not okay.
I don't see your face, but you must be turning bright blue.
"Back to the inn?
"Ugh... no, keep it up... look, look..."
"What?
"No, it's my fault... say, please..."
No conversation has been established.
My voice is probably only about half way through.
Carriage stops by the frame.
Around him stood the inflexible men and the somewhat great middle-aged men.
That's probably the mayor.
He looked at something loaded on the carriage carriage carriage with a confident smile.
The men move.
When he had a loaded sole on the carrier and tied a string to his leg (...), he threw one of those strings loose and threw it over his skeleton.
Apparently when you pull the string, the sole tied to the other side is the mechanism by which it can be hoisted.
Another man pulls the string thrown, and puts the fruits of their hunt in the center of the square.
When her (...) body hung and revealed itself in front of the people in the square, they simultaneously cheered and applauded unnecessarily.
"What do you say, Misaki? No, it's not... it's not Friesha, it's not... is it?
Yeah, she probably - mixed with the smell of blood, noticed the smell of Friesha.
I don't know what it smells like to be so close. [M]
All I know is the smell of blood spreading in the square every time a body swollen, twisted, and bloody all over my body is shaken by the wind.
"Answer me. Hey, Mass Kick!
I couldn't answer.
Not on purpose, because I was being beaten up, too.
"Finally the witch is dead, now we don't have to be exposed to any more demonic threats!
"It's been creepy for a long time. I'm sorry you're dead."
"We're not gonna kill them together when our parents die, so it's gonna take so long."
As the gathered people gave their thoughts to each of them, the voice of the mayor of the town, who talks to the man in the back, was heard slightly.
"I've looked into the time that those two dogs are going hunting, so hey, the rest is easy if you hold on to the” I want to apologize ”story. If you use anima, you're just a little girl, haha!
As human life was worthless to her.
Even for them, her life was worthless.
Laugh, enough to kill, it was only worth it.
The voice I heard can't be heard by Ellea.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...!
Having heard the mayor's words, Ellea gives a squeezing mourning voice.
A voice filled with grief that did not resemble a place to celebrate gathered people's gaze.
Who is that?
Why are you crying?
Even though the witch finally died for me.
Don't make me sound unpleasant on such a lovely day.
A cold gaze tells me so. [M]
I left the square silently with Ellea's voice on my back.
Ellea's voice never stops on her way back to the inn.
I just keep spitting out unspoken moans, anger that I don't know who to turn to, just as a voice.
Back in the room, the lilies were already awake.
I don't talk a lot, because that's something I can still do.
When I saw Rabbi and Lily's face, I told her emotionally. [M]
"Let's crush this town"
Lily just obeys my will more than she did, and Rabbi seems to have guessed some circumstance after seeing Ellea's tears.
And Ellea on my back didn't object either.
unanimous.
We will leave the inn immediately, board the carriage and return to our original path.
The destination is Friesha's house.
Fortunately they weren't in the square (...), then I have to go see them.
This reward is not ours alone. [M]
I'm not here, because I need two more casts to get on stage.
