Episode 9: Family Dreams * 2

Lian was surprised at Carnelia's request."Why me?Though she looked like that, after all, Carnelia agreed to her request in two replies."I wish it were me."

... that's why they meet Carnelia's father and brother today.

"I'm getting nervous!

"It's not impossible."

"But I'm all set!Look! I wrote down everything I wanted to say and ask!Lian helped me too!

Carnelia seems to have a good temper while holding the wrapped paper.

... eh, do you read all that paper...?I mean, everything that's written on that paper, what do you want to say...?

"Ready?

"I'm fine!Where's Lian? "

"I'm just an escort, and I'm fine..."

When Laocles checked, Carnelia was more energetic than her companion, Lian.The atmosphere seems to be flying with too much momentum...

"After all, I'll be there for you and Corn.If anything happens, I'll help you, so don't hesitate to call me. "

"Yes! Thank you, Laocles!This is our statue!That's very reliable!

"... I see."

Laocles looked at me with a slightly more complicated face.Me, too. I can't believe Carnelia called Laocles "Our Gypsum Statue!I wasn't expecting you to say '!

"Are you ready?Coming in... hey.It's a visit. "

... and as Laocles takes us down the stairs and into the basement...

"... Carnelia! Carnelia!

Jiolen, who was put in jail, greeted Carnelia with a smile.

Carnelia looks at it and grips her hand tightly.A strong expression conveys her tension.

... but your hard gripped hand is gently clinging to Lian, becoming a little soft, and then squeezing.

Carnelia, who was holding hands, seems to have regained a little calm.And then her courage seems to be regained.

Carnelia looked at Lian and nodded forcefully...

"Try it, Daiiiiiiiiiiiing!

I said that out loud.

... Dioren-san and Dioren-san's son were both poking.

A little girl or sister shook her sifting shoulders and said, "It's rough!"Sure, it could be a shock...

But the shock doesn't end here.Carnelia shuffles and spreads the scroll like a knight pulls out a sword.And then...

"Father! Oniisama!You've been doing this for a long time, but you haven't thought about it much later!That's what happened when we grabbed the corn!I wonder why they think everything they do is going to work!It's so cool!

Carnelia's words go on.

"In general, don't bother people!I might have thought it would be nice if I were a family member, but I wish I hadn't been so disgraceful as to be empty!

It goes on.

... does it mean that Dioren's complexion gradually gets worse, or do you know how to fill them with anger and confusion?

"For the most part, I'm crazy about treating my daughter as my own now!Don't you feel ashamed!?Don't you have a noble, no, human pride!?

Wow. It's kind of a great word going on.I'm overwhelmed, too.

I think Ziolen and the others are overwhelmed.At least, you're not only feeling anger, but there's a lot of confusion and stuff like that.He looks like, "It's not what I thought."

... Carnelia, who saw her father and brother, once she separated the words and said, instead of reading the paper, she looked at their faces.

"... you didn't know I spoke so much, did you?

Dioren and the others don't answer.But I think that's exactly what it is.

I didn't know Carnelia spoke so much.Or, "I didn't know how to talk," or, "I didn't know I had something to think about."

"You've only heard my voice counting so many times.But that's all I'm talking about!And by the way, if I'm angry, I'm angry!"Carnelia is magnificent and proud.

"I hereby declare!Me! You guys are really angry!

... it was a majestic and splendid lady standing there.It was brilliant enough to want to paint.

"... so, it looks like you wanted to see me, but what was your errand?!

Carnelia said that after the announcement that she was' angry ', and then braced herself and took a royal stance.

"I hate you, but I'm not going to help you!I'm not giving you Phoenix!I don't want to allow you guys to treat me like family!

Carnelia and Jiolen finally looked like, "This looks more troublesome than we expected."

"... if there's nothing else I can do for you, this is the end of the visit."

No, not yet.

When Laocles said so, Ziolen and the others hurried to stop Laocles.And then I thought about something... and I started talking.

"Long time no see, Carnelia.Um.... "

Dioren chooses his language rather than getting used to it.Carnelia has been in a royal position all along, and Lian is standing by and staring at Giolen.

... and Dioren-san said.

"How are you?

"You're right."

That's how Carnelia replies to an obvious, meaningless word, and then shuts up again.Dioren and the others shut up.... silence continues.

"So, what kind of life are you living now?

"As you can see.You're in a nest, aren't you?Then I guess you know how to live!... oh, that's right!Before I tell you anything, I'd like to ask you about the nest in my house!How did you get into the nest?

"I wondered what kind of life you're living.I thought I might see you..... "

"Oh, Olivi admitted it!You're trying to steal my jewels!

"Yes, that's a misunderstanding.I just wanted to see my family..... "

"You can say that!

Words that sound worried about Carnelia will also be cut off and discarded by Carnelia.Lies don't work for her because she's already heard all sorts of things.

"I know!Neither your father nor oniisama thinks I'm a family!Besides, you're more concerned about jewelry than I am, and you're more concerned about Phoenix than I am, right?

Plus, Carnelia got stuck.

"Anyway, I should have been better off dead!

Dioren and the others remained silent.He kept his face as if he couldn't find the words aggressively.

There was nothing to deny.I didn't say anything to him, "I should have been better off dead."

... it was Carnelia who broke the silence first.

"... why didn't you say anything?

I thought it would melt my eyes like the sweet broth of a kangaroo.On the surface of your eyes, a thick film of tears is stretched, and it twitches and sways.

"Why... why did you say you wanted to see me when you couldn't say anything?

And finally, the mellow tears begin to burst.Carnelia's cheeks were passed down and tears fell down, creating a small reservoir at her feet.

"Carnelia...."

While in prison, Mr. Dioren is a little weak.I'm hesitant, but I'm not saying anything, I'm just silent.The hand stretched halfway is meaningless beyond the bars of the prison.

... at that time.

Funnuu, your feathers touch Carnelia's cheeks.

Kya

... wings are wings.The blue, soft and fluffy body of the bird must have covered Carnelia's face.

I mean, Carnelia's face was completely buried in the feathers of a tree...

She is a little proud to be standing there wrapping Carnelia in her fluffy feathery chest.

Carnelia first buried herself in a feather that suddenly appeared and solidified, but when she realized that it was Lian's feather, she put her hand around the trunk of the feather and hugged it, buried it deeper from herself.

In the meantime, I will imitate Lian and give up the phoenix.Phoenix wrapped Carnelia from the right.Did you see that? Carnelia's Phoenix jumped out and wrapped Carnelia from the left.

... this way, Carnelia will be completely buried in the center of the three birds.

Dioren and the others who were watching the birds suck up Carnelia were just looking at it as a pom-pump.

Yes, I was just staring at it while it was gloomy.... seeing Phoenix, seeing the Phoenix, seeing the Phoenix, it didn't seem like I was willing to steal it.Because there's a girl crying among the three birds.

"... uh, you know, I feel weird talking to you."

Lian stepped forward in front of these diolens, who seemed to be remembering something as they drowned.

"I'm her friend... and she followed me, so I followed her.I wasn't told to say anything, but... okay. "

Dioren and the other boys were just confused by the way they were doing that, even though they were not noblemen.

"I knew you wanted to see Carnelia this time because you wanted money and Phoenix."

When Lian checks casually, Giolen and the others look a little negative.But before that, Lian kept talking.

"I won't tell you because I'm a parent or because I'm a family member.I didn't think you were his family.I don't dream about my parents or my family. "

I wonder what a slightly cold and cynical word might look like from Dioren, who doesn't know Lian's personality.

I wonder what it looks like when you look at a child "not dreaming" of a parent or family member.

"But you were dreaming of being family, weren't you?You thought Carnelia would help you, didn't you?Then... you should have prepared your own words for Carnelia, thinking they were family. "

Lian's words are gradually becoming dull and trembling a little.

"Prepare yourself.You can lie. At least say something... if you're a parent, just do it.Hey. "

I'm sure there are many thoughts about "parents," and Lian's words were just a little sad, too.

For a while, everyone was silent.Keep your mouth shut, sometimes the time just goes by for the birds to squeal, so...

"... I see."

Carnelia wiped her red eyes a little and pulled her face out of the bird gap.

"If you're a family, I really wanted you to love me.You don't have to lie to me, just so you know. "

The eyes staring at Jiolen and the others were quite grown up.

"I love you too.Of course, there are no parents who don't love their children. "

Carnelia looked a little sad at Jiolen's words, then leaned down and remained silent for a while.

"I didn't know that.I never felt loved.Hey, did you guys really love me?

After that, Dioren and the others didn't say anything because they couldn't think of a word to deceive Carnelia... I think the guilt in them made them hesitate to deceive Carnelia.I want to.

Well then, goodbye. I don't think I'll ever see you again.... yeah. Is that so?I came to say goodbye. "

Then Carnelia, who was completely calm, gracefully bowed while pinching the hem of the fluffy skirt.

"... goodbye now.Oniisama. "

Carnelia snapped up the stairs when she said so.

Dioren and the others looked at each other as they noticed that something important was missing.
