Talking that far, Linellas exhales in a small way.

Then the surrounding scenery changes.

Where the landscape has changed, it is a deep forest and the living signs of the organism cannot be felt.

"Is this... an elf garden?

"Yes, this is an elf garden. And - where I, knowing my stupidity, did not understand"

Turning his gaze to the spoken, there stood a linerus.

The outfit is the one we met at the Findeika Adventurers Guild...

"I told you, didn't I? I hated the children who came to us..."

"Oh......"

"Look, take a look"

Rinstadt and Rinellas' father were at the end of the finger.

"You still can't accept my daughter?

"It's not! But... I don't know how to deal with it! When I thought she really needed it, I... I..."

"Linstat......"

"I know. That since then, that kid has stopped smiling at me in a real way. But I don't know what to do - because she's desperately trying -"

"But!"

In the words of Linnellas' father, I can tell from a distance that she - Linstat's shoulders tremble small.

"Truth is, I want to give that kid a voice and a hug! But if we do that, what happens to the children who come to us, separated from their parents? I know! But when I think about children who are not allowed to be separated from their real parents and meet with satisfaction..."

With a small, shaking shoulder, Linstat was in tears, spinning her words as she appealed to herself and to Linnellas' father.

"Yuma, I've been watching this exchange. Look, you're over there, right?

Earlier I turned my gaze to trace the linerus gaze, I could see the linerus in the figure of the girl who had left her back in the big tree in the elf garden -.

When you look at such lineras as they are, the lineras in adulthood look lonely.

"But yeah. I couldn't accept the sisters who became sisters because they showed me these occasions... Yeah, they showed me. Because! If my sisters weren't here, I might have been nice to your mother..."

"It's..."

"I know. Because I understand enough that my sisters are just victims, too. But, you know, what I understand and what I'm comfortable with is something else. That's when I lost my mind about my sister! You didn't be nice to me, Mother! Give me an elf trapped in habit! I hated it."

The words of Lineras are very heavy.

The usual mild words and actions are like lies...

"But in the end... I'm leaving the elf garden."

"Does that mean that was the occasion when Linellas was taken by his father?

"Yeah, I think I was going crazy back then already. Look, take a look."

Linnellas, who looked like a girl who was in the spot where she was pointed, looks like she's giving the younger children a decent look.

However, I can see that smile is made, and my eyes were empty things that didn't shift anything.

"I thought about it. If I kill the kids who became my sister, maybe your mother will look at me... but if she finds out she'll hate me for doing that. That's why I was worried. Even though there's happiness right there! If you reach out, you might reach it! …"

"So..."

"Yeah, that's why your father decided to keep me away from the elf garden. Ugh...... This is the upside of the elf garden. Because I couldn't see the magic - I couldn't do it. It was an elf, so I annoyed a lot of people, and my father was killed because I let my grandfather die and he left the elf garden. I really can't, can I? You really can't. You deserve to be called an elf, right? Guys, you're unhappy because of me, you're dead and hurt - so I, I hate myself!
