After returning to the mine for the first time in roughly two months, the panic (awww) before departure was much calmer.

The Elves in the hospital room said that half of them had recovered and that three groups had set out to migrate to the Great Forest, and that things were going well.

Management seems to be doing well, and Nina reports that she has put out a black deficit.

At some point, I was able to keep a very fine-grained book.

Overall, in a bright, vibrant mine, I report my return to the pharmacists with heavy objects in my chest.

At first sight of Rene, the pharmacist was fierce and fierce.

"Who did it! I'll kill you!

Mr. Hilse seizes the pharmacist who screams and tries to pop out like that and asks him to hit the check-up and treatment first.

I also feel it's a serious reaction to the doctor, but as a human being, I think it's a very natural reaction.

Rather, Lynne is too kind.

The medicine the pharmacist gave me worked so well that there were no injuries left, but a lot of injuries were engraved in Rene's body and mind.

They say body scars can be surgically erased, but heart scars don't. And the lost right arm will never come back.

In a sense, it even seems to me that the actions of the pharmacist who tried to kill the perpetrator may be right, in the sense that they help to heal the wounds in his heart.

On his way back to the mine, Mr. Renne was exchanging words with his sister, Lynne, but me, my sister and Rhina, who were human, were threatening just to get close.

Lynne was apologizing, but I don't think she could do it either, so she partitioned the corner of the carriage with cloth, and had them stay together as long as possible there.

Even when he returns to the mine, he seems to be open minded to fellow citizens from the same village, such as pharmacists and Hilse, but shows his first encounter how he threatened even the same elves.

According to what I heard via Mr. Hilse, that basement was also used to do such nasty things as authority (mostly) the elves to hurt each other.

Something's going to make me really hate humans already. I'm human too...

According to a letter from Eina, which arrived some time later, it is likely that it will be possible to destroy the Baron's family if we can obtain the cooperation of the Counts of Negroste, the Duke of Reink and the Grand Duke of Faros.

However, as a price, a total of 16 billion Astres from the three houses that are to be received in the other four years will be abandoned, or a 'loan' will be used for the Count Negroste family. As for Grand Duke Faros, he said he would need either to give the Grand Duke a new unknown product.

I don't get lost for a second, write 'give up the funds' and send a reply.

Eina is supposed to receive 10% of the 8 billion Astres from Grand Duke Faros, so include 800 million Astres for that.

This kind of thing needs to be clear.

16 billion astr is a hell of a lot of money, but if that hell basement can crumble. If the victims who are present and future victims are saved and if there is any peace in the minds of Lynne and Mr. Renne, it is not at all a shame.

Instead of being flushed by emotions, I thought calmly and really seemed to do so from the heart.

... roughly four months back at the mine.

Thanks to Lynne's continued and loving medical attention, Renne had recovered physically to her normal state and mentally to some degree to interact with the other elves.

The other day, for the first time in over 20 years, the two sisters went into the woods, and Linne deliberately delivered the fruit of the tow that they had picked.

Lynne seemed really happy to say, 'It's like a dream to have another day like this,' and I secretly immersed myself in the sense of accomplishment, too, wondering if I could now return quite the great grace I received from Lynne, but of course I haven't forgotten my promise to free all the elves.

According to a communication from Eina, the baron family was destroyed for bribing a high-ranking official in the Wang capital, and where Grand Duke Pharos' army surrounded the mansion, the baron set fire to the mansion and committed suicide.

I have no sympathy for the matter and my heart doesn't move, but the elves in the basement who said they would take it from us if we could rescue them didn't help one of them.

He's a terrible man to the end.

If you could just lay low about the elves and tell Rene about it via Hilse, that night. Mr. Renne, who was escorted by Lynne, visited my room.

Recently, I haven't been much of a threat to my sister, Rhina, or Nina, but I'm still a man of the people, and I'm scared, and I just saw it, so I was trying not to look at each other.

Mr. Rene, while hiding in Linne's shadow, came to my room and told me that if he did something, he would keep his distance, but he wanted to talk to me.

Try not to scare me too, but try to respond in the most calm tone possible.

"Um... about me... Lynne. She said she helped out about your sister and everyone, too, thank you."

That's what Mr. Renne says, he bows his head deeply. Half in the shadow of Lynne.

Looking at it this way, the outfit and appearance are really very similar to Lynne's.

Does Mr. Rene feel a little narrower in the eyes and more riddled in the face?

Most of all, it's obvious with or without my right arm if I want to discern it...

How painful it is for long-sleeved clothes to shake loosely from halfway through just one sleeve.

I guess Mr. Renne is squeezing his utmost courage. He talks to me, though it's a long way from home.

"So... I need to ask you something..."

Somehow I know what it is, but this is also part of rehab. Slowly wait for Lenne's words, who speaks diligently with her left hand gripping the hem (sob) of Lynne's clothes.

"Everybody... what happened to everyone who was captured with me over there...?

Yeah, I knew we were talking about that, right? There's no reason you don't care.

Whether or not we can talk about it. Lynne told me the facts, so I asked her with my gaze and she nodded slowly. Then I'll be ready, too, and I'll talk as I am.

"... that man surrounded the mansion set fire to it and took them all on the road. They searched the burns, but they didn't find a single survivor."

"- Eh!"

Mr. Rene's face blued and fluttered a little.

Long ears, which were originally lowered, drool with shun.

Mr. Elf's ears seem to tend to reflect emotions, but Mr. Renne is particularly intense and understandable about that.

Same as Lynne. I knew you were sisters.

But was it really okay? Still too irritating...

That's what worries me, but Mr. Renne stopped to support his body and raised his face to his temper as well.

"Really...? Is that man dead?

"Yeah. They confirmed the body, too, I'm sure of it."

They must have told you the man was dead, but you wanted to make sure for yourself. Mr. Renne meditated on his eyes for a while and squeezed his hand squeezing the hem (sob) of Lynne.

What was wrong with Mr. Rene's brain at that time?

Is it the joy of a man dying, the sadness of the children who were captured together dying, or the remorse for not being able to take revenge with his own hands...

I didn't know, but Renne bowed her head after a while saying a word: 'Thank you for taking my revenge...'

"Yeah... but the kids that were being captured turned out to be like I killed them. I'm sorry."

"- No, no matter which way it was, one day it was slaughtered. There, some people cried and begged, 'Please, kill me...' But that wish could never be fulfilled. So no one should resent Yoichi or anything. Let me thank you on behalf of all of us. Thank you."

"... yeah"

The end of Mr. Renne's words was really as powerful as how many emotions were on board.

Not all trauma has healed, of course, but has it helped you get over one wall?

If so, it was worth 16 billion Ast.

As I watched the two of them leave the room, I couldn't help but pray that the future of these sisters would be peaceful and happy.

Another lifetime. You felt more painful than that...
