The next day, I went to Mr. Nilsi with Ms. Lan. I had expected Mr. Lan to ask in a more roundabout way, but he suddenly asked.
Nilsi sat down on a bench and looked up at the sky as if thinking about something, so Mr. Lan and I sat down beside her.
He sat down next to me. "What's with ......, all of a sudden?"
Nilsi-san opened his mouth bluntly.
He was looking at the bench, and I sat down next to him. We're all concerned about you.
If you have a problem, I can help you with it.
...... huh."
I opened my mouth following Lan's words and he let out a sigh.
The most important thing to remember is that the best way to get the most out of your money is to be careful what you spend it on. I'm not sure if it was a nuisance or not. The first thing that comes to my mind is that I'm worried.
I was so worried that I was being a nuisance. I'm not sighing at Lelunda.
Then why are you making that face?"
"Because I don't care. ...... Why are you being so gruff?
I'm not sure why, it's because I'm concerned about you, and I'm worried about you.
The most important thing to remember is that the best way to get the most out of your home is to make sure that your home is safe and secure. I wonder if she was embarrassed by the fact that he was worried about her.
Nilsi, we are friends who are spending time together in this village. If such a fellow has a problem, it is natural to be concerned, isn't it?"
Ran-san is right, ....... I want to help Nilsi.
The first time I saw the two of them together, I was surprised to see that they were both so happy to see each other.
'......This village has calmed down a lot, hasn't it?
Yes. Yes, it has."
I was wondering what would happen at first, but with the help of the elves and the orchids, we've been able to get things in order as a village. New people are coming in, and the spirits came back last time.
Yes, it's a good thing. Good thing.
Yeah, it's a good thing. The most important thing to remember is that you can't just take a few minutes to do a little research. It's just that ...... I can't stop thinking about it now that I'm finally settled and have this new life in place."
Nilsi-san breaks off the words with a pained expression. Then he said.
I wonder what is happening to those people who were captured by the humans.
Nilsi's village was attacked by humans. And somehow Nilsi and the others managed to escape. And Mr. Athos died. We fled because we were in danger of being attacked again by the Migga Kingdom.
I escaped, and now I'm living here in peace. But even while I'm living peacefully, they must be going through a lot of trouble. I've been on the run, meeting elves, slaying demons, settling down in a new place, and setting up a village - it's been on my mind while I've been doing that, but lately, as the village has settled down, I've been thinking about them more and more.
People I've never met, the cat beastmen. Now, they are captured and enslaved. If the people I care about, for example, Gaius and Mr. Ran, were deprived of their freedom, and they were subjected to that kind of thing - how horrible it would be. How sad I think it would be.
I did not know what to say to Nilsi's words.
I was not sure what to say in response to Nilsi's words.
To be honest, I don't understand the position of slaves. It makes me feel sad that they exist, and I wonder why they would make slaves like that when there is a possibility that they can understand each other and speak the same language. I couldn't simply say, "Let's get them back. I was eleven years old, and I understood that it was difficult.
I know I don't have the strength to fight against my country. The most important thing to remember is that you can't just take a chance on the village and say, "I want to help. I know that it is better to work for the development of the village now that it is starting to do well, and not to devote my energy to anything else. --But even though I know this in my head, I still want to help.
Nilsi clenches her fists as she says, "I want to help.
I was still unable to think of the right words to say to Nilsi. I was the one who thought that I wanted to help her, so I asked her. What should I say? What would be the best thing to say? I didn't know what to say.
I understood.
While I was hesitating, Ms. Lan opened her mouth. He was not upset like I was. In a quiet tone, he continued, "You want to help the cat beasts, don't you?
You want to help the cat beasts, don't you? If you want to free the enslaved beings, you can buy them with money if you want to do it quietly. If you want to use force, you could forcefully free them.
"La, Lan?"
What are you surprised at? I am thinking about it because Mr. Nilsi said he wants to help you. How can I help you?
'...... you're not angry?'
Why would I be angry?"
'...... it's that you're doing so well in your new place and now it's time to be important, and you're saying this. I thought it would be impossible and that would be the end of it."
'You have to think about it and decide if it's impossible or not. If it was impossible after you tried and tried and tried, you might have to do it, but I wouldn't say it was impossible before you did it. You have said that from the moment you met it. If you can help, you want to help. Then, as a fellow member, I will push you to do so. Of course. At that time, all we could do was run away. We chose to escape and seek a new place. But things are different now.
Both Nilsi and I listen to Ran's words in silence.
We have more friends now. Our new place is somehow getting back on track in this way. Certainly, it is important to know what will happen to this village in the future. But if our friends are suffering, we can try to reduce their suffering. Whether or not we can really go to help will be a decision that we will all have to make after discussing it together, and we may choose not to go to help. But we can discuss what we can do to help and take some action. So, we will not dismiss your wish as impossible. You may have thought that if you told us, we would oppose you or something like that, so you couldn't talk to us about it, but you can rely on your friends more. We are friends living together in this village.
Ms. Lan tells us with straight eyes and straightforward words. At these words, Ms. Nilsi looked stunned and then burst into tears.
Ni, Nilsi-san!"
I was so surprised that I raised my voice, and Ms. Lan put her finger to her mouth and made a shushing gesture. I stroked Nilsi's head as she quietly began to cry. I imitated Ran and stroked Nilsi's head. I was attracted to her ears ...... a little bit, but I don't touch them at a time like this.
After a while, Nilsi's tears stopped and she said, "Thanks ......," and looked away shyly.
