Chapter 72 (1/2)
Since Elemia wanted to talk, I made some time for her at dusk
We could climb easily thanks to our physical ability
Ele froht sun
「Pipe… Did you bring it?」
「Yes」
Eleift
Before we started our talk, Elehtgood
Before sunset, Ele was over
We ended up with silence on the roof
「……etto, shall we start talking?」
Hearing her words, I responded
「Before that, I have so to tell you…」
I waited for Eleive a nod
「ーI had asked Alfred-tousan to adopt you
You are an important companion, that’s why I want you to be part of my family」
「eh………」
Elemia shook herself in disbelief and covered her mouth with her hands
Then she finally took a deep breath and said
「uuu……Oroch- Edgar, you are way too aggresive」
「……Is it… no good……?」
Looking at her condition, I thought that Elemia could be a member of family and my head suddenly went cold
「Ano nee… As expected, I should speak ar’s invitation… for now…」
I really wanted to hit lish equivalent for it)
……I, maybe Elemia hated me……?
Elemia noticed my complexion and said quickly
「U-uun!! It’s not like I hate you!
It’s just…… so」
「……Your feeling?」
「I was brainwashed by 〈Yatagarasu〉 and killed people」
「That is-」
「It’s better to say “I got tricked”, right? Edgar, you had been saying this to everyone If you didn’t, everyone will feel horrible about what they did」
「I’ it to make you feel better
It’s the truth The one who tricked you is bad」
「Un, that is true, but I think that I couldn’t be forgiven even though I was deceived Isn’t that weird? I think it’s convenient for 〈Yatagarasu〉 to play with our “remorse”, to think about how easily they control our rearasu〉 No, in fact that I want to deny it so ht now, I don’t think I can be in a relationshi+p with you without giving you anything back I aar wants ive myself yet」
Eleentle smile
I couldn’t stand it anymore, so I stripped down and kissed her lips
「That’s why I will return to the Darkwood Forest
I have to do that… I can’t stand next to you and being helped all the time」
「I… see…」
Her eyes showed determination and resolve
「But, aren’t both of your parents gone?
Do you have anyone to live with in the forest?」
「I don’t think so… I was a shrine o back to whatever remains
I can’t explain in detail, but a shrine maiden is important for dark elves」
「Are you going to work after all that?」
「There can be only 1 person in the depth
……I was afraid of it
Running away froive myself
That’s why, I will face the darkness this time I need to face it and prove myself I’m not my previous weak self anymore」
I slid my penis inside her She squirmed a bit but YOU SICK fuck STOP STEALING MY TRANSLATIONS
The training sounds harsher than I iined
It’s not easy to tell her that she was mentally unstable, but I could understand her determination
Elemia wanted to start over and fixed herand walk towards what she think is right
I couldn’t help but thinking that she was in the “Wrong place”, letting Elemia live in seclusion For Elemia’s sake, should I smile and send her off? What should I do?
But still, I was not convinced
Why?
Elemia’s face Her expression
She said that she was fine But in reality, she was on verge of crying It was a face trying hard to keep the pain inside
That’s right This girl was still a child
Girls that age wanted to be pampered and loved by their parents
Can a child on that age be able to live alone in a forest?
No, even if they could, I couldn’t let her do it
If she insist on doing going alone, I will pursue her myself
This child is too pure And that purity stabbed reithout being treated by adults, didn’t kno to control her feeling
She couldn’t be openly defiant, nor was she able to trick herself and those around her by coirl who grew up for the sake of killing
ーDon’t let her go
「I think what you are saying is right
Since adults forcibly force children at their own convenience, I think that Elemia would have escaped to defend yourself Especially since it’s a painful practice that a s alone
I don’t know about the dark elves in the Darkwood Forest, but executives of 〈Yatagarasu〉 tried incorporating the children’s guilt for their own merit
If you are in pain, then escape You don’t have to do anything a, because we humans deserve to be happy」
「But… right now… I can’t forgive ht to stand next to you」
「You don’t need a right to stand next to anyone
Serious, quick thinker, chasing down targets with extreme persistence, that’s the Ele or sin」
「Tha-that is…」
「On the other hand, how about Elemia train here and come back home later?
If you want to stand next to me, you can do it now Maybe you will feel a bit inferior, but everyone always feel hen coether, you will find out that you can do everything It’s io so far away」
「That… That ht be true but-」
「Wasn’t the goal is going alone and doing harsh training then coether
There are s that you can learn back in the depth of Darkwood Forest, but if you coether with us, I think what you get by living with us is way ht?」
「Soether…?」
「I’ht now you are trying to punish yourself Not being able to stand next to me is an excuse」
「It-it’s not an excuse!!」
Elemia raised her voice
But I think it’s necessary
Ele to choose the hard path and didn’t care even if she suffers
Even so, can Elemia be happy?
「I always said that Elearasu〉 executives ere at fault」
「But…」
「It feels hard to be deceived like that They had becoe of yourI’ of sin
You should do the opposite, Eleive yourself
Eleive you a chance to forgive yourself」
「I am…… want to be on your side…」
Tears overflow from her eyes
「That’s right… I… Should forgive ive myself……」
Ele
「Fufu… It’s strange
I was trying to co it hard for myself」
