If I tear the story apart, it's because I rewrote my attack power.
But she's just been hurt as "The Failure."
You don't have to say such a realistic cause of victory.
I stroked her head as I walked near M.
"I... am proud of you, M"
"Ho, proud...?
Em blushes her face.
"Yeah, you're getting stronger. Even though I was worried about my origins, I kept staring ahead."
…………
"But that's why I don't want you to drown in that power. Even when I get stronger, I still humbly move forward... it's a receipt from a respected master, but I want you to continue along that path."
"Humblely....."
"Yeah, you're not a failure. So... I'm sure I can do it."
"Ah, Mr. Arios...."
"Yeah, I agree."
Ray also walked over. Then I stroked Em's cheek with merciful eyes.
"Whatever the Arseus Relief Party may say, you are already a resident of the village of Rustahl. It's impossible to make a mistake."
"Ray-san too.... Thank you very much."
"Wow. Em is a fine man! I don't need any hard reasoning, if I say so!
"Even weird oniisan... thank you"
"... I don't know how long it'll last."
The tension thread suddenly dissolved into Dudley, who couldn't dress up alone.
We laugh at each other and spend a small but peaceful time. [M]
Thank you, Mr. Arios.
M said with a modest laugh.
"It's good to see you, Mr. Arios... I'd be horrified if I stayed a slave to the Aldo family..."
"Haha... is that so?"
I tried to laugh with my mouth, but it wasn't really a laugh.
Her life is miserable.
It was created by the Arseus Relief Party without any explanation.
Afterwards, the Aldo family hired him as a slave.
I've lived a miserable life I can't even imagine.
If you could heal her life a little, there wouldn't be anything more.
"The truth is, I was jealous. Mr. Arios and his weird brother."
"Eh...? Me and Dudley?
"So stop acting weird, oniisan."
Dudley came in without reading the air, so I kept his mouth shut at God's speed.
"Yes, because it's like a real brother. The blood may not be connected, but I thought it was like a family.... and also Arios and Ray."
"Me and Ray...!?
"No, no... What did you suddenly do to me...?!
Ray's face turned bright red, but Em suddenly made a bold statement, knowing or not.
"That's why I want to be your family as Arios's sister... and that's what I thought... no?
"Yes, sister...."
Ma, are you serious?
That was unexpected.
... but I see.
That's right.
She's always been alone.
I've spent days alone, unacknowledged and persecuted.
It is true that our relationship may have looked bright to her. [M]
... well, I was banished from my father, too. I don't think there was any warmth in the family.
But even if I can heal her wounds a little.
"... that's fine."
With a smile, I stroke my sister's head. [M]
From today on, you're my sister, Em.
"Ah...."
Her smile, which came to mind that day, was blooming more than ever before.
