Having dropped off Cain in a hurry to the Royal Palace, I used Hiyuma's secret technique and successfully broke into the food warehouse.

Of course, the two of you inside don't notice. I didn't even mean to be noticed.

Moving to a position where he could see how things were going, I donned to the voice I heard.

A man holding the hand of a fainting princess said in a loud voice.

"Dear Ophilia, Soon, it's time for the ship to leave. If we do that, we'll get mixed up well, we'll both go together, to a foreign country. That's where we live alone. Not a princess, not a knight with sides, just a couple, alone. Oh, Master Ophilia. I will protect you from any danger."

- Frightened!

My face was cramped.

I was going to ask Reaper earlier to know how badass the kidnapped man was, but this is exactly what I thought was better than listening.

He says he's getting on a boat and going abroad, and he even waits for Reapers to come back, thinking that if he doesn't bring the princesses soon, we'll have trouble.

But I thought so.

Come to think of it, it's a funny story.

For some reason now I have abandoned Hiyuma, and the next term of Hiyuma... no, because I am acting with my current Lord.

Of course, because it's a request from his Lord. So we don't want each other to fight together, but we think life is a strange thing.

When I worked as an informer in Irvern, I didn't even think this was going to happen.

◇ ◇ ◇

Eighteen years ago now, I was born between the father of the Hiyuma clan and my mother, who had absolutely nothing to do with Hiyuma.

The shades at the time, of course, were red-eyed on dark hair.

My father and mother raised me very dearly, who darkly inherited my color as Hiyuma.

My father was always laid on my mother's ass, but I was in love with my mother and she seemed so happy.

My mother also loved my father deeply, and often she talked to me, with her little ole on her lap.

"Mother, I have a father, so I thought I'd try my best to go here."

My mother doesn't have a home to go home to.

One day, I hear that my father, who found his mother sitting in the woods, took her back to the village where the clan lived and took care of her.

My father picked me up. My mother didn't talk to me initially. My father talks to me and he doesn't reply. I've always looked sad and worried that I might not be able to talk, but after about a month, suddenly my mother called out to my father.

"Where am I?

Surprised that my mother suddenly began to speak, who she thought she could not talk to, my father explained as required by my mother.

That's how I heard about it. My mother said she was desperate.

"Maybe I, I can't go back to where I was?

The moan seemed so sad that my father accidentally held my mother in his arms. My mother, mourning and grieving, for another month or so, stopped talking about anything.

As if to reject everything.

My father kept his mouth shut and looked after my mother. It wasn't out of sympathy that my father took care of my mother, whom he didn't even know he saw. He said it was because my mother didn't freak out when she saw the red-eye of the Hiyuma clan.

Even when I looked in the eye, I did not repel. I didn't say it was a monster and a cursed clan.

That was enough for my father to take care of my mother.

One day, when my father went to see how my mother was, peeking into the room where she was always, the room was empty.

When my father popped out looking for my mother, who was no longer in a hurry, there was a figure of my mother playing with rabbits and birds.

"... worried"

To my less relieved, heavily exhaling father, my mother said as she stroked the rabbit's head.

"... strange. I know what these kids are talking about. Your words, one day, suddenly, became clear. At first, I had no idea what you were talking about."

"... Whatever the word makes sense, why not"

"... right"

My mother was able to talk to every creature.

My mother says she still doesn't know how that happened. But because of that, thanks to all the creatures inspiring themselves, let's go forward and live. That's what he said when he started to think he had to live.

And my mother, who was positive about living, then about six months later, was proposed to my father.

He said he fell in love with his mother, who didn't hate his eyes. He said he fell in love with his mother, who had a fun conversation with the animals. I don't want you off my side. That's what my father told my mother that he wanted me to stay here the whole time.

My mother accepted my father's proposal after she was troubled.

My mother also liked my father. Soon I was in the woods, picking myself up as a suspicious person, helping me, always on my side, and my mother also began to love my father deeply, who supported me in my heart.

They got married and I was born.

I loved my parents, and when my father was out on Hiyuma's job, my mother and I were always waiting for my father to return.

It was about one night like that.

"... wake up, Abel"

I got a long job in, and my father's away. I was woken up by my mother when I was asleep.

"... what? Mother."

"The animals are making a scene. Something bad comes. Abel, you have to run now."

"Running away, where?

The drowsiness quickly blew away in the voice of my chopped mother. My mother pulls my hand. My mother, who went outside the house, told me.

"Abel, go get your father. Your father works in a town all the way down this road."

"What about your mother?

"Your mother can't go. Unlike you, I'm not trained in Hiyuma at all, so I'm going to be your toe wrapper. Your mother is waiting at home, so call your father. Please."

"... ok"

I really wanted to say I didn't like it. But my mother's floating expression didn't make me say it. My mother caressed my head many times for love.

"Because you and your father were here, I thought I'd live in this place. I don't think I have to go home. I have no regrets. I'm really happy to be here, to meet my loved one, to have you, Abel. Now that I hear I can go home, I say," I don't need it. "That's my answer."

"Mother..."

My mother seemed kind of terribly scared to say things that didn't make sense.

My mother pushes my back.

"Come on, go"

"... but"

"Go. Call your father. And help your mother."

"... yeah"

I nodded and ran down a dark road. I wanted to look back, but somehow I knew I couldn't do that.

So I ran all night to the town where my father was working. For me to go home, I'll take my father back as soon as possible, even every minute. Because that's all I had.

"Abel, what's wrong!?"

"Father! Mother!!"

We arrived at our destination before noon the next day. My father found me wandering in the middle of the road without knowing where my father was. I jumped into my father's chest and asked him to help my mother.

"Your mother says something bad is coming... so she wants you to go get her father..."

Desperately tell my father what my mother told me.

My father nodded and told me he would be back in the village soon.

I can't use Hiyuma's secret tricks because my father didn't have a Lord to serve. My father held me, ran to jump, and returned to the village of Hiyuma.

So, what we saw...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhh!!"

No one survived, it was a hell of a painting, itself.
