Episode 208: The Village Behind the Mountains Hathaler and Landmines

"Of your brother-in-law... So what about your real parents?

Lorraine honestly asks me hard to hear.

But it's not like I don't care.

Because Lorraine's tone is really light.

Here I am, saying I don't want to talk about it, but, yeah, I'll start talking about something else.

I mean, to ask, but to tell you whether or not to talk is to show you in an attitude that you're free to talk.

As far as I'm concerned, it's not that I never want to talk about it, so I say it normally.

"... he's dead. A long time ago. When I was five."

Simple fact, I don't feel so heartbroken anymore in my mouth.

It's just that you're still sad about the sad stuff.

I remember my face, and I have a solid memory of living with you.

They were good people.

I would have liked you to still be alive if you could.

But I have no choice.

"Right... with a disease or something?

"I was attacked by demons. It's a good story, isn't it?

I meant to say it lightly, but besides my thoughts, I feel like my voice was trembling.

I suspected he was becoming an immortal "undead" and an organ that no longer made sense of a tear gland, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Well, if you look in the mirror, you're always usually nagging, and it doesn't make any sense.

But if it stays like this, then so be it...

"That's why you want to be an adventurer..."

"Well, I guess that's what I mean. So, my current fathers and mothers have been very helpful to me in saying that... bad, Lorraine. I'm coming out a little too. Can you wait in this house for a minute? You won't be comfortable in someone else's house."

"Hmm? Oh, I don't mind, okay? That's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna leave you to someone else."

"Lorraine can trust you more than anyone else. Bye."

That's what I said, I left the house.

It's not a good thing, I know... but if I were there any more than that, I'd be spilling tears...

If that happens, Lorraine will be sick.

I can't believe I've cried in front of Lorraine over the last decade... No, there might have been, but it's a man's tiny pride around it or something.

Let's walk around the village and dry around our eyes for a little while, then we can go back.

'Cause it's bad to keep you waiting too long...

That's what I thought, I walked out.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

- I think I've stepped through the mines with all my might.

Lorraine thought so from the depths of her heart at the village chief's house, where she was left alone, sinking her body deep into the chair.

I don't care what Lent said to his parents, I think he stepped in too far, though.

If this was a simple return home, I wouldn't have touched anything, and maybe I should have had an unobstructed conversation, but that's not how it works this time.

Perhaps the desire to learn about Lent from its roots was somewhere in my mind, and that consciousness worked too hard.

... No, I think that's what I want to know about Lent's roots, rather than the researcher mood, simply how Lorraine feels about herself.

For ten years, I've been an easy-going friend, and that's what I've done with my unobstructed, unbridled relationship.

It is a pleasant thing, something that I could not taste where I was in my hometown of Lermud.

Of course, not that I don't have one friend in my hometown, but it is still Lorraine who has quite a position over there.

That's not how I've been able to build a natural friendship so far.

That's why I'm so thoughtful... and I guess there's something about it that makes me dependent.

I don't mean to be leaning on you, but without that presence, it's like I can't help but get thin... Lorraine was aware that such an opponent was Lent.

And if you're going to name that emotion, I kind of know what it is.

but now let's put that aside.

Lorraine knew very well that it was not a good idea to think too much.

Nevertheless, I recall all the things I heard earlier.

I was surprised that Lent's parents were the village chief and his wife, but I didn't know they were step-parents in addition to that.

If an orphan occurs in a village, it is relatively done in other villages to say that the village chief will pick it up, that is what is common, not so surprising, but when they say that Lent was...

There is both a convincing part and a part that is unexpected.

What I find surprising is Lent's character?

For better or worse, I don't care about a lot of personalities.

Yeah, I can't do that unless I grow up relaxed from the moment I feel like it.

Children who have lost their parents and, on top of that, are to be taken to someone else's house often have a more cramped personality.

Yet I guess the fact that it happened that way is because the village chief and his wife who took it away were good parents.

Is the convincing part of it strangely too good for you to come from a rural village in Lent?

I can write, I can dispense, I wear martial arts and everything else is oddly clever.

It is somewhat convincing to think that that is because, as the stepson of the village chief, he was beaten in quite a lot.

However, there are still some things that are a little too good… I guess because I made a lot of efforts in the awareness that the neighborhood will be an adventurer.

Why, I wanted to be an adventurer.

Because my parents were killed by demons.

So, for that revenge?

No, you wouldn't.

Lent... If Lent, I think he went for adventurers to reduce that kind of thing rather than to say it for revenge.

Though I ended up not listening that far, as far as Lent's activities in Malt go, that seems right.

I was doing a lot to lower the mortality of the newcomers, and he said it was part of it...

Well, after Lent gets back around there, can I ask again?

The question is, how do you listen well......

Anyway, I don't want it to be like stepping on a mine again.

I hope you're obviously angry or cursing me about something there. Not yet.

It's extra hard to dress up as a breeze that you don't care about at all.

"What's the matter..."

pounding out of his mouth, and when such words came out,

-Concon.

and the door of the house was knocked.

Looks like someone's coming.

That's fine, but Lorraine is not a resident of this village chief's house.

All of a sudden, are you okay?

Should I use my absences like this...

No, I walked in the village earlier, and not all of them, but it will be known that Lorraine came to this village.

They shouldn't be so vigilant......

In the first place, we would basically have to avoid being there but not there.

That's what I think, Lorraine gets up and heads for the door.
