One sunny day at noon. I was looking up at the sky from the terrace of the Spiel family.

No clouds, clear blue sky. The wind is calm and the summer sun is pouring down. I know it's supposed to be a very pleasant day... but honestly, now I want to tell you to read the air.

From the results, Mr. Elise saved his life. He survived being drunk arsenic ten times the lethal dose. That's just a miracle - not to say.

I seized the arsenic Seth had hidden in the mixing room, but quite a few mixed things were confirmed. Rather than that, it was a substitute for the level that arsenic was about 10% mixed.

Finally, the arsenic Mr. Elise was drunk in is critical to the lethal amount. If left alone, it was a quantity that would surely lead to death, but also a helpful quantity if treated.

That's why you saved your life with our treatment.

- But that just didn't mean there was no sequelae. Mr. Elise is suffering from symptoms of drug addiction right now.

"What are you doing here? Didn't you have a discussion with Mr. Eric?

Alice's voice. Drop your gaze from the sky and look to the side. Alice was just about to leave herself alongside me on the terrace fence.

"We're done discussing this. Now I'm just... looking up at the sky somehow."

"Oh well... what happened to the results? You've been deciding how to treat a pharmacist, haven't you?

"Seth is locked up in her own room. If you're just interested, you're going to have to work for the Spiel family in the future."

"... are you insane?

"Of course I won't let you make kusuri. It's just that you have to work to pass on that technology to future generations."

"If you're a pharmacist, there are others, aren't there? No matter how many circumstances, he tried to poison Sophia's mother, didn't he?

"That Sophia forgave me. 'I can't forgive you for trying to kill your mother. But I know the sorrow you've suffered, so live and pay for your sins."

An early story made me feel Seth's sadness with grace and sympathize - and that's how I thought Alice laughed at Couscous.

"... what the fuck?

"I thought you were getting closer and closer."

"What do you mean they look alike...?

"You haven't noticed? The way Sophia forgives you, you look just like Lion."

"Right...?

If you ask me, I don't think so.... Oh well, are you similar to me? Yeah, I don't know, I don't feel bad.

"Lion, your face is loose, okay?

"You're good. Nothing. I'm glad to hear that my favorite child is under my influence."

"Phew...? Speaking of which... he's a man. If you get tired of a woman, they're gonna try to raise a girl to their liking next, right?

A pranky glance.

Think about the meaning of the word - I spill a grin.

"I see. You're worried Alice might be tired of herself, aren't you?

"- Become!? Chi, chi, no. Yikes!?

They made fun of me, so I just fought back... could it have been a star? I think it's a little too wolfish.

"Don't worry. I care about Alice and Sophia, and I care about you both."

"... Something's a terrible line, isn't it? I'm a little worried that Lion's going to be a bad guy."

"Alice says that?

Indeed, it is no exaggeration to say that I am wearing two strands. And one of these days, I might even put three strands on it. No, that's likely.

But... I was only going to see one.

Alice, Sophia, Claire. It's important, but I dared to pick one from there - just Alice, and I was going to treat her special. It was Alice herself who took the hedge away.

I can't help anyone else telling me I'm dishonest, but I just don't want Alice to tell me that.... Oh, my God, I know what Alice is trying to say.

And I guess Alice herself understands that.

"... Oh, it's Ijiwal"

He whines in some obstinate tone and hits his head on my shoulder with a trick. When we met again in this world, Alice was much bigger... but somehow you reversed it.

"... So, what about that Sophia?

"I'm on Mr. Elise's side."

"Are we having a conversation?

"They seem to be doing it longer, but sometimes it seems like we're talking. When I went to check on her earlier, she said she was able to settle with her mother properly."

"Oh well... Sophia, are you okay?

"It's okay. It may be hard right now, but Elise's symptoms should heal over time."

"... what are the grounds for that?

"There's no such thing. It's just that Sophia believes it. I just believe that, too."

When I answer like that, Alice gives me a slightly frightened look.

"Maybe Mr. Elise stays that way, huh? Ugh. On the contrary, it could get worse. Do you understand that?

"Oh. I know, I know."

There's nothing wrong with that if you get better.

But it won't get any better - on the contrary, it's awesome and very hard to see people getting weaker every day up close. Me and Alice were so reminded that they didn't like it in their previous lives.

But still...

"It's gonna be okay."

"... what are the grounds for that?

"We were okay, weren't we?

You must have understood in that one word that it was a story from a previous life. Alice sighed a small.

"I was fine because you had Brother Yuya, right?

"I was fine because Saya was there for me. And now Sophia has us, right?

"Oh well... right"

Mr. Elise will definitely heal. As a result of that belief, Sophia may one day be imprisoned by grief. We should do something about it then. Because I think that's family.

"Besides, I don't think you have to worry that much. Even if the symptoms are unexpected, it's almost natural."

"Right. I think so."

In the world of previous life it was possible to artificially compensate for them, even if the functioning of the body was partially stopped. Even if that function was part of the natural cure.

But this world is different. Even when it comes to treatment, at best it is the extent to which you consume garlic or drink nourishing couscous. When we say dangerous conditions in this world, it is only at a level that is certainly helpful if it is in the world of previous life. There are world tree leaves, and there should be a good chance of recovery.

"And whatever the state, I think it's a delightful thing to say that your parents are alive. Honestly, I kind of envy Sophia."

Because I couldn't know what my father was thinking - and I whine without speaking up.

"Speaking of which... you said it. If you don't read your mind with grace, you'll regret it like I do."

"I... couldn't understand my father."

"Maybe that's what caused things to go wrong right after you came to the grave?

"Oh...... yeah. It's a story I don't even know anymore. I didn't want Alice to worry, so I kept my mouth shut."

"Oh. If it wasn't because of Mr. Elise, how could you, but you're still not feeling well? If you'd told me, I'd have solved it right away."

"........................ no?

I didn't know what that meant.

Because all my father left me was a word that you were a proud son. When I think about that situation, I don't know if that's the real deal.

"Mr. Robert cared about Lion," Alice said.

"... what, what can you say that based on?

"I have the benefit of sign perception. Sometimes, but I knew there was a man coming to see how it was going away."

"Is that... what you call my father?

"I didn't know who it was at first, but I knew right away when I saw Mr. Robert at the mansion. Even this man was watching Lion from the shadows."

The missing piece fits tightly and solves all sorts of questions in me.

In my childhood, when I first met again in years, my father knew me at a glance, he believed me about the flu, and he didn't blame me me after that, all of it.

All because you cared for me and you've been watching over me.

"... well. Dad... he looked right at me."

I learned what my father thought I would never know again. With that fact in my chest, I lean against the terrace and look up into the sky.

There is no cloud there - there was a refreshing blue sky.
