Zippy straight, pale eyes gaze at Sirtina.

The child that Akali picked up yesterday was named "Mars," and she turned her gaze to Sirtina every time she decided to take care of her.

"Did I do something?

"Well, isn't it the worst impression that the first voice is" Give it back "?

"What, are you staring at me? You hated me?

"Or you must be on guard."

"Alert, hey......... no, those eyes. Not good."

A sparkling colour in the sunlight.

I don't know dirt, pure and straight, I don't know betrayal, deception or falsehood, just beautiful eyes.

Beautiful, coco.

"I wonder how the world looks to him?

"I don't know. We used to be like that, but now I can't remember."

I don't think it's "dirty". We just "know" a lot. We had to change with that.

Uh-huh.

- I'm sorry.

Cutting down demons while sheltering their children on their backs, Sirtina was remembering an exchange this morning.

Beautiful colored eyes for myself.

I couldn't wait to hate those eyes.

It's something I threw away a long time ago.

If it was true, it was something you didn't have to throw away.

The heart that believed unconditionally in someone, the beauty of being able to hold an outstretched hand without any doubt, if true, was all I had. I should have been able to live with it.

"…… That's bullshit."

Sirtina, laughing at herself, chops down the last demon and breathes.

I knew the despair of being betrayed, the plan behind my outstretched hand.

When I found out, I couldn't stay beautiful.

That's how I chose this place now.

If I have no regrets for myself being in this place, I have no untrained against my beautiful past.

"So I didn't mean to help you."

"... yeah,"

Look down at the crying child. Sirtina distorts her face.

"What are you doing here because you're helpless? Did you think someone would help you? Like the Virgin. Unfortunately, it's not that sweet in this world. The weak will die without those who will protect them."

……

A wet colour in tears looks up at Sirtina.

With his eyes and eyes, Sirtina further distorted her face.

"I hate those eyes of yours. Beautiful, pure, I don't know anything about dirty stuff, I just hate your eyes, which hold the light upright. Just watching makes me nauseous. I can't help but want to make up my mind when I know I'm being seen."

Gilli, and a noise came from his chewed back teeth.

The magic overflowing from her body accompanies the emotional dawn rocks Sirtina's hair.

"Don't cry, stand up!!

"Huh!!

A child who freaked his body out at Sirtina's words and still stood up in a panic wipes tears with his sleeve.

"If my family abandons me and understands it, but the light doesn't go out of my eyes, then I can believe someone unconditionally."

Leaving her emotions to her earliest words, Sirtina once separated her words. Sirtina took a big, deep breath, and spit it out with a terribly gentle voice.

"You stay put and live."

"……… Huh?

That's right. I really understood.

The disgust and anger I feel for this child was a reversal of my envy for him for not abandoning the things I gave up and threw away, even though I knew my family had betrayed me. This kid did what he could never do.

I have no regrets now that I have chosen.

I have no untrained past myself.

That is the true meaning of the matter.

But it makes me think. I thought so. Meet this child.

He said that maybe he, too, lived beautifully straight up like this kid. He said he might have had that option.

"Well, but. I'm the one who didn't choose that, so it's true that I have no regrets or untrained after all. But, hey, that's why you stay alive. Undistorted, unclean, dirty, straight."

Whether you are abandoned and betrayed by your family or abused and taken by the world, live upright, in the light.

"If you betray me, you scratch me, if you abuse me, you cry, if you use me, you get angry, if you can help me, you thank me, if you protect me, you thank me, and if you can laugh, you laugh back."

……

Betray me before I'm betrayed, if I'm abused, I'll double and return it, if I'm used, I'll use it back, if I'm helped or suspected, if I'm protected or alert, if I can laugh or not, I'll give it back with nothing.

Don't ever make choices like that, like yourself.

"Well, that's about it for your discretionary hopes. What the hell are you doing here?

"…… Ah, you know,"

"Hmm? Your house?

"Yeah."

There is one private house ahead where the child, who has not been able to get to the sudden switch of topic, pointed at it in confusion.

"There were other kids who were left behind by me, and we all talked about what to do, and I was the only one out of town who was going to go where my dads went, and the other kids stayed here."

"…… Yes."

In other words, there were other children left as mouth drops besides this one.

After discussing with those kids what to do in the future, I guess he was the only one out of town determined to go after his parents.

So he jumped out of Akari and the others, unable to stay or stand in a changed town.

But I'm sure the rest of the kids are...

……

Sirtina pulled the child's hand and walked out.

The child, who walked out halfway, sighed his nose about ten steps away and began to sneeze in about fifteen steps.

Still, I never tried to stop and didn't even mention that I wanted to see inside the private house I pointed to earlier.

That was the reality that was poked out in front of a child who was still young.

"Take reality. Accept reality. That's how you choose your own path. Don't regret it. Don't repeat it again."

"…… Ugh!!

Sirtina gently stroked the head of the child, who nodded in tears.
