Tearmoon Empire Story

Episode Eleven: The Sprouting of a Small Determination

The three youngsters who had returned to St. Noel with Meir were also celebrating a reunion with the children from the special elementary school who had also returned from their hometown.

Originally, they were children from orphanages and shanty towns. It was not uncommon for one farewell to be an eternal farewell.

Therefore the joy of the reunion was great, and the smiles abounded on all their faces.

In such a circle of smiles, Patty was watching everyone as usual.

"You look good, Karon."

So Yana spoke to him, and Karon smiled and lifted up one cheek.

"For you too." I'm glad my brother and I are doing well. I thought it was sold by the noblemen. "

Yana said with a small smile to Karon, who was evil.

Huh? Did you worry about us?

In a teasing tone, Karon tried to say it back... but it was just a roar. Because Yana had a soft smile on her face.

Yana looks very neat. The tattoo of my forehead eyes is mysterious somewhere... so when I smile honestly, it's very cute.

"That's enough to make you fall in love..."

--Up until now, I thought I had to protect my brother, so there was a thorn somewhere...

As a result of my forgiveness of my heart, even if I betrayed you, my brother would be in a terrible situation. Even after she was released from there, she lost her faith for a while... but at last, it seemed that she had lifted her guard.

"I'm just a little glad that my friends are changing like that..." At the same time, Patty is slightly puzzled by how honestly she can be recognized.

You're looking good, aren't you?

Suddenly, I was called out and looked back. and Julius, a teacher of glasses, stood. Patty nodded frankly to him with a gentle smile...

"Yes. During the summer vacation, Yana... she showed me a lot of good things about you..."

Once again, Yana must have thought about it.

Believe me, it's okay.

--Alternatively, you're just getting accustomed to a protected environment...

"If this were that Clausius house..." If it was the place to teach the serpent... "Exactly at that moment, they will betray us.

Adds a terrible betrayal and instills deep-seated mistrust. That's why I thought Patty would never open her heart... no matter what...

"It was about you..."

Julius smiled unexpectedly at Patty's answer. When she saw the face, Patty put her hand on her mouth...

"Me...? Could it be that I laughed?"

“Yeah, but of course, you're not the only one. Yana-san, Karon-san, and Kirill-san... Everyone is looking softer than when we came here.”

With a gentle tone, Julius continued.

"Patty still looks a little nervous... but it's okay." We will protect you. Neither Rafina nor Meir will ever abandon you. Please, rest assured... trust us. "

The words... left a warm feeling inside Patty's chest.

"Thank you, Sensei Julius..."

Inspired by that emotion, Patty spun out her words.

You can keep your heart to yourself... "But now I'm just a little happy. But... at the same time, I think.

Still, I'm sure I don't have anything to laugh about.

Now that I know the situation, I can feel safe, and in this world, I might be able to forgive my friends... but still.

- Because I can't throw away all my vigilance just because I'm back in the past. "And..."

"Sensei Julius..."

"Yeah? What?"

Patty said in a ready voice to Julius, who was tilting his neck.

"Please tell me the old story of Julius-sensei."

Maybe in the future, this person will help many children.

I'm sure you've helped a lot so far. That's why...

“When was the last time you were taken over by Viscount Oberato's house?”

Barbara said. "My child is dead..."

Maybe that means that Barbaras was just fooled, and the Viscount's family told him to let him out of his mouth... "

--Because I changed it, maybe that's what happened... "

When I heard Barbara's story at the time, Patty thought for sure.

"Pathetic..."

And what if I had the power to stop it? Will you not help the child, Julius?

Patty knew exactly what she meant by coming to the world of the future.

The habit of observing and thinking, imprinted by the snake, helped at this time.

--Maybe there's not much we can do...

Just because I became a concubine, there was not much I could do. Especially if you do what you like with the snake watching, I don't know when it will go off.

But... Patty thinks.

--Probably, it's not that I can't do anything...

It was a little determination that sprouted in the girl's chest.

It was a courageous decision to fight the snake.
