Ingratus is about half a day west of Trancy.

In a town where forestry flourishes, he said most of the wood supplied to the surrounding towns was taken here.

Is it about the same size as Dinde as the town?

When you go through the wooden gates built at the entrance, you finally break into Erlea's hometown - Ingratus.

"I smell so nostalgic, it shouldn't have been that long ago"

It was about a year ago that she was grabbed here (...).

It's too early to say I miss you, but I must have felt like spending a lot longer in a strange land with a stranger than a year.

"Mr. Rabbi, turn right at the second crossroads"

Return to her house, guided by Ellea.

The expression clearly brings anxiety, but there is also the joy of being able to go home, or the tone of instruction is quicker than usual.

Even she wasn't loved at all by her parents, I guess.

That's right, because this is all beautiful, gentle in character, with anima - replacing parts of my body, if I didn't have what skills, I would have been a proud daughter to the end.

"Turn left on the next road, and you'll find my house straight down the crossroads ahead."

The house is finally getting closer.

Now, the moment you show your face, what her family will look like.

I was as nervous as Ellea. [M]

"Flawclock... right here"

The rabbi pulls the reins and stops the horse.

When I got out of the luggage van first and looked at the house in front of me, there was indeed a wooden sign inscribed 'Flauclock'.

It's a pretty fine house compared to the surroundings.

It's two floors and the building itself is somewhat new.

Yeah, it's like we built it within the last year.

Looking at Ellea's home, someone comes out of it, realizing that the carriage stopped in front of the house.

"Uh, who is it?"

Is he a little older than me? [M]

Blonde hair cut off with shoulders with slightly tighter eyes than Ellea's, but some parts look just like hers.

As soon as I saw it, I knew right away.

"Are you Mr. Pearla Flauclock?

That's Ellea's sister's name.

"Yes, it is..."

I just got confirmation, I get in the van and I can hold Ellea's body.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine."

While listening to a reply that is obviously not fine, I take her outside with respect for her will to strengthen.

I was going to force you to take me for a rejection.

That's why I stopped by Ingratus on purpose.

Well, that's fine, let's go face-to-face with the inspiration.

The moment I got out of the carriage and saw me holding her with no hands or feet - Parra froze.

Because I saw my sister who could not have been there.

But get your expression back soon.

"Liar......"

After squealing like that, it was - it was a full grin on her face.

Turning back on his heels in a agile motion, he said from the front door, "Ooh, ooh! Oh, my God!," he exclaims aloud.

Still didn't come, this time I ran into the house and then headed to my parents.

After a while, Parra comes out with two men and women.

The two, who had yet to understand what was going on and why they were suddenly called, saw what Ellea looked like and froze just for a moment, as did Perla.

but I smile immediately.

"Elle......!

It was my mother who approached me holding Ellea first.

She touches Ellea's face with her palm so that she can be sure of its existence.

I had no choice but to give Ellea's body to her mother.

"Ellea...... are you sure Ellea!?

Late, the father, who finally figured out the situation, also approaches.

How incredible it was, like her mother, her father touched Ellea's cheek with his hands.

"You're back, I'm glad. Good for you. Really...!

"Ooh, oh, parra......"

An emotional Ellea weeps.

It would be a recoil that I couldn't help but be anxious until just before.

"I'm home, guys"

When Ellea says that with a smile as beautiful as she has never seen, her mother, father and sister welcome her home in their own words.

"Welcome back, Ellea"

"Welcome back, Elle"

"Welcome back, sister!

I could no longer look at it in such a touching reunion that I looked away unexpectedly and saw the lily sitting in my luggage.

Is she in a similar mood to me, or is she honestly happy to be reunited with her family?

But from the family, we should only look like people or merchants on a journey that brought Erlea back in good faith.

My father, who wiped away his tears with the back of his hand, approached me and held my right hand forcefully with his bent arm.

"You helped me, didn't you, thank you? If you don't mind, will you let me know your name?

"Cape, but"

"Thank you, Misaki! I can't thank you enough. Let's go up to the house. 'Cause the carriage can keep you waiting in front of the house."

He pulls his gripping hand half forcefully and my body is sucked into Ellea's home.

Lily and Rabbi were then also to be found by their parents and invited without being given the right of veto.

◇ ◇ ◇

In short, I guess that means I lost.

Ellea is right, she was sold to a spectacle hut because she was accidentally kidnapped.

The fact that she was sold, etc. did not exist anywhere, and the family kept waiting for her to return.

Is there such a convenient story?

Why did the kidnapper kidnap a girl who could only be sold to a spectacle hut, it should have been more money to take her sister?

And this house, no matter what you think, was made recently.

Since Ellea was kidnapped, which means the money that sold her came in, so I guess I remodeled it.

But then - I don't understand why this family is welcoming Ellea home.

Me, Lily and Rabbi, who were invited into the living room, were each seated in the chairs provided.

My parents are busy preparing sweets and teas, my sister entertains a pleasant conversation with my sister, and we are left in such uncomfortable spaces.

Were all the things I had piled up so far wasted?

Though the results seem to have come at a time when Ellea's return is welcome, I still don't...

"I never thought I'd see Ellea again so soon."

In a somewhat calmer tone than at the front door, his father talks to him as he sits down.

"It's a savior to our family. Oh Lady Gratia, thank you so much for this encounter!

If it feels like this, is it the father who caused Erlea to become a Gratian?

Then it must be this father who named the Virgin or something.

"We just ran into her by chance."

"You don't have to be modest, you saved me from the spectacle hut, did you? Besides, it's not something you can do inside to bring me all the way to Ingratus to take care of my daughter who's had this body."

"Oh, well."

That's right, my daughter was thrown away in a bag, I can't say that.

It's troublesome to be seen as a hero on your own, but let's just say that now.

I mean, this father-- how do you know Ellea was in the showcase?

If you interpret it favourably, you must have been gathering information to find her missing.

If so, ”I've been looking for you” or something like that is going to come up.

Besides, I think I'll keep my right arm and normally say ”body like this” to my daughter.

"Yes, you should stay with us tonight. No, you should definitely stay!

"No, not that far"

"Don't shy away from me. Think I can put this one up, huh?

I'm not going to let you say no.

Well, I still have some concerns and I guess I should stay.

When I checked with Lily in eye contact, she immediately returned an acknowledgement that apparently she was caught in the same part as me.

Check with the rabbi... okay.

"Okay, then I'll take care of you this evening"

"Oh, relax as much as you want. Elace, we're gonna make dinner extraordinarily sumptuous this evening, okay?

"I know, Mr. Granadilla"

casual couple exchange.

But when I heard it, I didn't miss Ellea's subtle frowning.

Voice...... no, is it the way you call it?

The most popular way to call a spouse in a family with children is to say, "Dad, Mom," or "Dad, Mom."

Ellea's parents may also have originally called him that.

But that's changing while she's gone.

If your parents suddenly call each other's names or ”you," your child would definitely feel uncomfortable.

Ellea couldn't help but frown.

Stacked discomfort, but not in form.

If they say, "I think too much," well, maybe they do.

"Hey Dad. Can I go to my room with your sister?

"Fine, but don't be too impotent. Ellea would be tired from a long journey."

"I know. Sister, come to my room with me! We still have so much to talk about!

"Hehe, right. I'd like to talk more with Perla, too."

For the first time in a long time, my sister Parra is floating to see.

As she hugs Ellea's body, she tries to get out of the room and head upstairs to her own room.

When I saw her like that, my mother said with a bitter laugh.

"I'm sorry, I think my sister, who was supposed to have been sold, is floating back. It'll be noisy, but just take a big look at him."

Go on, smile and father says.

"I was prepared to never see you again. This is how I got a chance to make amends, and now I have to take care of it."

And finally, Pearla said, without any evil.

"I'll take care of your sister, you'll be fine! So you're going to your room!

"... Huh?

The three never noticed Ellea's confusion, and she and Perla left the room.

Me and Lily, Rabbi are all staring at the two people who stopped moving and disappeared upstairs.

I sold it.

Now Ellea's mother certainly should have said that.

No, that's what I expected in itself, and it's a welcome fact for me.

But how can these people - without being evil - love the fact that they sold their own daughter?

What's on my parents' faces is a smile.

Undisputed, cloudless, without shadows or backs.

It's as if we really think ”we didn't do anything wrong”.

"... oh, I'm sorry. I guess I surprised you."

I saw my apologetic father and was only a little relieved.

I was surprised, I mean, I was aware that the fact that I sold my daughter was an evil deed.

That said, then all the more so, I don't understand how I could have said it lightly in front of my daughter.

"Yeah, well, that's... Selling your daughter..."

I can't possibly not ask.

"It means exactly what you say, I'm blinded by the money, and we sold Ellea. Thanks to that kid, he also regained his right arm, and Perla regained his sight as well. Besides, the Virgin's name enriched our lives. It's just... I know you'd understand if we traveled together, but taking care of that kid with no hands or feet and no vision would be a hassle, right? Besides, in that body, there are only about as many parts in the gut that can no longer be given to others as the Virgin. After all, we couldn't stand the burden and sold Ellea to the merchant in the showcase."

Sure, her care is troublesome.

But that's not what her father, who took her right arm, could say.

"Oh, really?"

I could only reply with such a distraction. [M]

"Thanks to you, we also got such a splendid house, and Parra woke up as an animator user, and our life was smooth and full of sails, free from the care of Ellea. But only we are the victims of the kidnapping of our daughter. Sympathetic eyes are turned from the surroundings. That's what I couldn't help but be hard and hard."

"Really?"

My daughter would have had a harder eye than that.

"That's why the three of us in the family discussed it and decided.” If I see you again, I'll treat you like a family this time. "

"Yes... is that right?"

I felt nauseous.

Take a sip of tea to somehow reduce the urge to unintentionally suppress your face and curb your swirling emotions.

Tea in this world is queasy.

Nonetheless, this tea, which I could drink lightly, must be fancy.

I mean, this is the tea I bought for the money I sold my daughter.

No, this father said, "Now is the time."

In short, when Ellea was sold - to them, she wasn't even a family.

Then what was it, her?

Tools? Spares? Is that gold?

"I never thought we'd be given an opportunity to make amends so soon. You are precisely the use of God, this encounter must be guided by Lady Gratia. Or did Lady Gratia reward me for the virtues Ellea has built up as the Virgin?

All I can do is laugh in front of my father, who speaks happily. [M]

Oh...... well.

I finally know who this disgust, discomfort, is.

Ellea is the Virgin.

A very sweet, done daughter who doesn't complain about a single thing, whether she gives her father her right arm, her sister her eyes, or some other part of her body to someone else in red.

Probably never been angry with my family when I was born.

And the family likewise thinks Ellea will not be angry with herself.

Whatever you do (...).

Then why did you suddenly say "treat me as a family” now?

That's because they could afford it.

Selling Ellea gave me money, and Parra used Anima, so I don't have to worry about the future.

I care about appearance when I can afford gold, what a story I've heard.

Same thing.

This family began to care about the outside.

I started wanting to somehow erase the disgrace of selling my daughter.

I haven't noticed the surroundings, but the stains hurt my self-esteem badly.

I mean - we decided to accept her as a family, not for Ellea, but for ourselves.

Nobody thinks about how Ellea feels.

Father is still perplexing about something.

Mother also talks about something next to it, pleasantly.

Words didn't even reach the brain.

Until now, I've been thinking about trampling the good side of Ellea.

He wants to smash her sweet thoughts by showing off reality and drag her to this side (...).

But - I'm just getting a little different feelings right now.

I want to save her.

I think it's ridiculous.

If you think about what you've done, it's a word that will never come out.

If you just say it with a bunch of scum, it might not be the same as this family.

If Ellea chooses her family even if she gets here, that's what she has to do.

I can't rebel any more than I promised Ingratus I wouldn't.

But still, can I give these guys Ellea?

Can a girl who has lived for her family until she has dedicated her own body be reared (...) without being rewarded, without being able to tell the truth until the end?

I can tell you clearly.

No matter how moral it is, I'm much happier about Ellea. [M]

I need more of Ellea myself.

The rage that springs up boiling swells to the point that it is about to burst.

No, I'm going to (...) kill the two people in front of me, not like this.

I blocked my father's story. [M]

"Excuse me, I want to tour the town of Ingratus, so can I go outside?

"Ah, oh. Then I'll show you."

"No, I'll let the three of us go because we have supplies too"

"... well, then there's no choice. By the time it gets dark, we'll be ready for dinner, and we'll be waiting for an extraordinarily sumptuous meal, so come back by then."

"Okay, bye"

I take Lily and Rabbi and leave the house early. [M]

I was really in the mood to take Ellea out, too, but now I can't help it.

The minute I went outside, I breathed heavily.

Was the unspoilt air such a delicious thing?

"What are you gonna do, those people?"

Lily asks.

"We're not the ones who decide that, Ellea."

"Mr. Ellea, are you okay?"

"I don't think I'll be all right, as far as my face is concerned when I leave."

Yeah, I'm not fine.

Still, it is Ellea who has the potential to hide his true intentions.

I want to ask her directly, if possible, where it is necessary to be the Virgin in that way.

"In the meantime, let's just look down"

"Are you looking down?

"Position of the Zoub hangar, number and performance of the Animus deployed, and availability of Anima use. Because I want to do what I can right now."

"Capricornly, I'm gonna do it."

"It's obvious!

I accidentally bared my voice. [M]

Lilies and rabbies tremble.

"Ah... sorry"

"Mmm, fine. Because I know exactly how Cape feels."

"Mr. Misaki, you surprisingly cared about Mr. Ellea."

That was surprising to me, too.

I was just going to play with you, but when were you gonna put that in your shoulder?

No, it was something similar when I thought about it, Lily.

Because if you're just really playing, you won't leave the final decision to her.

"If it wasn't for Ellea's hometown like this, I'd kill them all."

Unfortunately, we cannot destroy this town yet.

But I need to be ready.

As soon as Ellea has made her choice, she can erase it.
