... live free!

Then he let go of his hand with a remorseful look on his face when he left the bath and let go of Yua's hand.

(I wonder why? I feel a little guilty watching Youre...)

and wipe my body with that in mind and get dressed and go back to my room.

When I go back to my room, I take off my boots and roll to bed. Yua was wandering her gaze to the chair and the bed, so she calls him to come next door with a light tap on the bed.

"Look, Yua, come on, too?

Saying so, Youre sits in bed. And when I thought he turned to me, he seemed worried about something.

(I'm worried again...)

I sigh small thinking so. I wish I could solve Yua's problems, but I don't know what's bothering me. Well, even if I asked, I don't know if I can fix it... I wonder what to do with it...... I thought so.

"Um, Lena."

When I turned my gaze to Yua, who called out to me so, I was gripping around my chest slightly anxiously, but she looked at me as if she was determined to do something.

Could you possibly tell me what happened in the orphanage? That's what I think. Wake up and sit down. I stare at you.

"Uh... This could be annoying to tell Lena about this. So, but I think this is how you're bothering Lena because of that... That's why I'm going to tell you what happened in the orphanage... Um, can you listen to me?

And I asked anxiously, but I also nodded wanting to know what had happened to Yua and she was mentally weak.

"The problem in the orphanage happened when Onomas came to the orphanage after the goblin thing."

You mean it's recent? You mean you met with the Onomas after the goblin thing, the day the orcs attacked you, right?

"At first, I didn't know why the Onomas came to the orphanage, but they thought I was dead about the goblin and they came to get my possessions. So at the entrance to the orphanage with Lumia...... Oh, the girl named Lumia is the one who leaves the orphanage to her, but she took refuge because Onoma called her in and tried to hit the kid named Lumia with it. After that...... I've even sheltered Lumia for a while, but it seems Lumia got in the way of trying to stop me and Onoma got extra angry...

So when they grabbed my left arm and threw it away, my sleeve tore and the kids in the orphanage saw the burn marks... Then he felt sick and got away and Onoma laughed at him... "

... did that happen and you strayed to the orphanage... But aren't they watching when you burn them?

"Don't the orphanage kids know after the burn?

"Yeah...... Well, I don't think I know anything about Lumia because she's the ones who came in afterwards."

"So I knew a kid named Lumia... ran away?

So Yua shook her head to the side.

"She doesn't know. Because it was still small..."

"? Didn't you say the oldest in the orphanage was seven or something before this?

"Oh, yeah... Lumia was not yet three years old when she was injured by this burn..."

"Huh? Does that mean I had a burn when I was seven?

"... yeah"
