Outaishihi ni Nante Naritakunai!!

"Mother..."

"Ilya..."

When I took them to the room designated as Freed, the Freeds were already waiting for me there.

Thinking that only his mother was coming, Freed called for Ilya's father, and they looked at him with relief.

Even if I pretended to be someone else, I must have been worried about my daughter.I was glad to hear that I was happy to see you as a parent and child.

"Mother... Mother..."

Ilya jumped into her mother's chest and began to cry.Her mother gently strokes her head like that.

Prince Hendrik walked to Ilya's father and said, "It's been a long time."

“I'm sorry I behaved like a stranger at the party.”

"No, I'm sorry you had to match it up for my daughter."I have heard the story in a letter from Ilya.Thank you for taking care of my daughter. ”

"It's a matter of course." And I promised to be happy with all my strength. [M]I'm not going to break that promise. ”

It's different from the soft look I always had on Ilya.Prince Hendrik had a crisp face and was talking to his father-in-law.

Ilya was crying and refreshed, and she was talking to her mother happily with her eyes red.

“I'm so glad. I never thought I'd be able to talk to my mom directly.”

"Neither do I. I knew that Ilya was working hard as the princess of Irvine's king, so I thought I'd stay out of your way, but His Highness Friedrich cared."This is how you took care of it so that we could meet.I'm really glad to see my daughter again, Ilya. "

"Mother..."

My nose was always like a little child.As she was, Ilya told her mother.

"Mother, I need to talk to you."

What?

Ilya's mother tilts her head.And the workmanship was very similar to that of Ilya, and she was convinced that she was a parent and a son.

"What's the matter, Ilya?"

"... I found Sister Felia"

"... eh"

The father reacted to the name of the other daughter in an easy-to-understand manner.Ilya was awkward when she noticed that everyone's gaze was gathered, but she made it clear.

"I've been looking for you.Please ask His Highness and Liddy and the others.... I thought I couldn't do it anymore.But a few days ago, I found my sister in Wilhelm. "

"... is Felia in Wilhelm?"

Ilya shook her head sideways to confirm her father.

"Sister is not in Wilhelm."My sister came from Sahaja.As a follower of King Maximilian. Um... she said she became an assassin. "

"Ahh!"

Ilya's parents open their eyes.The mother shook her mouth.

You don't want to believe what Ilya said.He shook his head to the side many times.I take this reaction for granted, because I have been told that my child has become an assassin and that I cannot remain calm.

"Oh, really? That girl... is Feria an assassin...?"Eh, does that girl... kill people? Are you kidding me? "

Whether he was dazed, his father rushed to support Ilya's mother, who was about to collapse, in a panic.

The look on his face was very bad.

"...... Ilya, is that true?"

Father listens as he puts his wife in a chair nearby.Ilya also nodded powerlessly.

"... yes, I couldn't believe it either."Well, I think it was your sister's will that made you an assassin.... I'm sorry, Father, Mother. I couldn't bring you back. "

……

Father opens his mouth while scratching the back of his silent mother.

"...... is Feria under His Majesty Maximilian?"

"... yes"

"I see... closer to that man..."

Ilya's father bit his lips in a squeak.Then he shook his head to the side.

"No, in some ways, Feria's security is guaranteed... it's his will... but no, but..."

"What's the matter, father-in-law?"

Prince Hendrik called out to his father-in-law, who muttered inexplicably.Ilya's father looked at Prince Hendrik and shook his head.

"No, nothing."This is our story. "

"But... yes, I understand"

Prince Hendrik squinted at the gaze of not pursuing any further.

If it was Ilvane, he wouldn't have left, but his father-in-law is here to represent Arkanum Island.If they tell us not to talk about our circumstances, we can't pursue them any further.

"Mother..."

"It's nothing, Ilya."Don't worry about it. "

Ilya also looked at her mother in doubt, but she was misled by a gentle smile.

And Elijah nodded unto his mother with an unsatisfactory look.

So, it's about Sister Felia.

"... unfortunately, if you're here to follow His Majesty the Maximilian, I can't help you."Unless Feria inspires us to do the same... to listen to you, but I wonder if you're under His Majesty's command?Considering her personality, I don't think she's coming into contact with us. "

When the father told him clearly, Ilya was depressed to the point where she could tell at a glance.

I was told not to give up, so it was only natural.

Ilya's mother finally stood up and slowly stroked her daughter's head.

"Don't be depressed, Ilya. We want Feria back, too.An assassin is a dangerous job, and I want you to quit right now.But if she doesn't want it, we can't force her.Because she's an adult now.You can't force an independent adult back.You know that, don't you? "

"... but..."

"Isn't it compelled by somebody?It's her will, isn't it? "

"... yes"

Is it undeniable that Ilijah shook his head vertically, though he was reluctant?

"Then we can't do anything more."All I have to do is prepare my heart so that I can accept her when she wants to come back.But thank you. Ilya. Tell me about her.I was relieved to hear you're alive and well. "

"... yes"

Ilya's mother smiled, infiltrating her complexity. That's how I muttered.

"... if I could, I hope I didn't hurt anyone."

……

The words hurt my chest.

Perhaps it was a dialogue that started with the feeling of thinking of my daughter as a mother, but perhaps the wish will not be fulfilled.

Because Feria-san was trying to kill Milly.

At that time, I removed Milly's curse with neutralization magic, so she didn't die, but otherwise she would definitely have died.I know that.

You tried to kill Milly, but you kidnapped me.I don't think Mr. Feria felt guilty at that time.It was rather fun and lively, but I didn't think I could tell the Ilyas.

……

Determined to remain silent, Freed's eyes met.I think I know what I was thinking, and I can't help it.

From Freed's point of view, Feria-san is an unforgivable being, so it's a lot more complicated.

I was curious about how Freed would respond to Felia in the future, but even if I thought about it now, that was the last thing I needed.

"Oh, yeah, I forgot."

As Ilya, whose parents admired her, managed to calm her down.

Mother, it looks like she knows where Aeon is.

Aeon? Nova Aeon?

My father moved his cheeks more sharply.

Ilya's mother urges the continuation.Ilya suddenly explained the situation.

"Yes, that Aeon." You've been looking for him since long ago when your father was gone, right?Looks like your sister knows about him... and it seems like he's having an interesting time... and she said that she won't be seeing him again.I hope it will serve as a reference.I'm sorry I was so stupid. "

The father stared at his bowed-headed daughter with a complicated face. That's how I muttered.

No, I'm fine with Aeon.
