When she was alone, she laughed, "What's the matter, Demon Palace?

She immediately wondered if I didn't respond to the joke and had a serious look.

"... maybe you met your father?"

"Oh, for a moment, I was in a different spiritual world and spoke to your father."

"Huh, is my father breathless?"

"I don't know. I met Ryoma Sakamoto, who came to this place a year ago. Nobody knows the details."

"Okay, so my father could have met his mother again."

"Oh, that's it."

"I see. That's great. It's true."

She laughs, but isn't fine anywhere. Asking if she still wants to see her father, she shakes her head.

"No way. I respect my father's freedom. He is like the wind. It is impossible for the king who controls the world to catch the wind, so I intend to restrain him. Absent"

I see, noble. But there is patience. I thought so in my mind that my parents would still miss her, but I don't say that.

If Toshizo Hijikata is here, "What are you doing, it's worthless? Hold me here and just push it down."

That's one hand, but unfortunately I wasn't like Hijikata. Therefore, only half the Hijikata flow.

Hold Ryoma silently. A gentle hug. Embrace your family, not your lover.

She buries her face in my chest and speaks true.

"Wow ah! I'm really lonely. I want to see my father! I want to see his father's face!"

That was the heart of a half-elf girl.

"I've been bullied since I was a kid. This black hair was a sign of an abomination, and I was bullied by an elf in the village of Elves. But my father tells me that time, your beautiful hair is your mother, your big ears, and your black hair will catch your husband soon. I listened to the people and said they would get you on the right path. ''

But she continues.

"I didn't need such hair or ears. You have to be bullied because of these hair and ears."

Certainly her black hair is beautiful. However, it looks ominous when viewed from the elf.

The pointed ears look attractive to me, but may seem heresy in human society.

The special position of a half elf, which is neither an elf nor a human, can be inferred to have had a significant effect on Ryoma's personality formation.

It didn't help me when I hugged me, but I still hugged her instead of Ryoma Sakamoto, and took out the paper I had with him.

Her mother's hair was caught in the washi. I can't heal the feelings of a lonely girl alone.

However, the elf who gave birth may be able to comfort the wounded girl's heart if her mother.

I thought so and took out the fragments of the ancient mirror that Eve and I collected, and cast magic on them.

Even for a short period of time, the fragments joined and allowed to adhere. She puts her mother's hair, received from Ryoma Sakamoto, into a mirror. The golden hair entered the world in the mirror without any resistance. Then the mirror shines golden, and a beautiful woman is projected there.

Miki with golden hair and pointed ears. Not to ask, she was Ryoma's mother.

When Ryoma looked at her mother in the mirror, she said, "Mother ..." Ryoma's mother died when she was born.

But every time she told her father that her mother was a tremendous beauty, she was a really good woman, she was the best woman, so as if she had ever been Was close to

However, this is the first time we have a face-to-face conversation. Ryoma's mother asks a question in the mirror.

"... Ryoma, my cute Ryoma. I'm sorry, I've hurt you."

"Is my mother tormenting me?"

"Because I died early, I couldn't do anything like motherhood. I couldn't protect you from public misunderstanding."

It may indicate that he was oppressed as a half elf. Ryoma is silent.

"And I've taken away your father's heart, and he's still dragging my illusion when I died, though I had to be my father and mother. Ryoma!

"It's the same with Ryoma that I have to shave. I'm not worried, so I worry about my mother after death."

"Children are worried by their parents, no matter how old. So I have this soul. I'm worried about you."

Ryoma's lacrimal gland relaxes when she hears the words. The heart is wrapped in something warm.

"... Mother, I was wrong. I've been following my father's back forever, so I've become such a happy person. I've become a feminine woman crying in public. I will not follow my father's back anymore, I will look at what he sees, not his father's back. Think only about what he is looking at and what he is doing I want to make use of it in my life. "

"... Ryoma, how strong are you, you don't need the power of your mother anymore?"

Elf Miki turns around and tells me. Apparently she seemed to perceive my presence.

"The Demon King who gives you there"

The Demon King is nothing but me. reply.

"I don't know what kind of demon you are, but she helped me to reconnect with Ryoma. Thank you."

"They collected the pieces of the mirror."

At first glance, Eve and Jeanne were gathering during this time.

"Ryoma has good friends. They will be your precious assets."

Yes, my mother, and Ryoma nodding.

"Please, lead this child, Demon King. This child's dwelling place, Bernese, is in a dire situation right now. Please save it with your power."

Originally, Bernese intended to save. There is no reason to refuse. As she nods, the elf's beauty is relieved.

"I can't remember this. I hope my husband will accept my death like Ryoma."

It may be difficult. If I had a beautiful and tender wife like her, and if she died, it was no wonder that she went on a journey to revive her.

But don't talk about that.

"One day, if I meet him, I'll make you reminisce."

In this case, it stops at that level.

Ryoma's mother probably knows the stupidity that keeps Ryoma Sakamoto free. Without saying anything more. However, while smiling, she finally leaked.

"Thank you. The gentler demon than anyone else. May a gentle demon like you govern this world."

She left it out of the mirror, saying so.

Ryoma regretfully embraces an ancient mirror, but his appearance looks younger than his age.

Although Ryoma's dungeon hunting purpose was fulfilled, not all of her concerns were resolved.

His father seems to have blown away, but Bernese's grief still remains.

I decided to go to Bernese, a maritime city where her business base is located.
