Chapter 335 Reaffirmation
Everyone was touched by Mr. Akas kindness, got angry at the way he was treated, but rejoiced when we were able to reconcile, and before I knew it, no one was moving about, and they were all listening to me reminisce.
And then the story came back to that morning
So, Higu he said that if he was with me he would cause trouble for me just because were friends he left a letter behind Mr. Aka was nowhere to be found
Before I knew it, I was crying.
Just talking about that moment, that morning, when I read that letter, I couldnt help but get emotional.
But thats
Oooooooh!!!
Every single one of them was crying.
Or rather
Its so sad, Mr. Aka, you didnt do anything wrong~
Well, youre just a child, Espie. You cry so easily. Im Gusun not crying.
An admirable ogre nay, a noble man a fine soul indeed.
Sniff, ah, I am undone. I, once harbored hatred for all ogres, yet now
Such a kind-hearted ogre there was
Mother, Im not afraid of ogres anymore! The ogres that attacked us were bad people, but there are good ogres too!
Me too!
Aye, that is true. Its not just ogres, but also people like the Young man, dear Espie, and the lad Slayer. The ranks of the Demon King Army and the Bockmati arent all there is.
Thats too simple. A strangely surreal scene unfolded where the elves, who were said to be big-headed and looked down on other races due to their pride, were now all shedding tears.
But I was happy.
thats just like Aka.
Larouiph also smiled at me sadly, even though she had tears in her eyes.
But still still, Aka Im glad he met you.
Larouiph
Me.. Aonii too our family were all caught up in war and hatred thats why Im glad that he met someone like you who treated him as a person, who wasnt afraid of him, and who was willing to face him head-on.
Im not so sure thats
It is. Aonii must have realized that when he clashed with you. Thats why he thought that he should never let you die.
I see.
When she said that, I couldnt help but remember what Treainar had said to me that day, and I looked at him who was beside me, and he smiled.
Child, tis no consolation. That ogre must have truly been saved by meeting you. You certainly became his friend. Tis why he is no longer before you. You know naught of the world. I know not the depths of humans and demons. Your power is weak, as well. But nevertheless, even though you were human, you befriended an Ogre. I am the first to witness such. Truly, you have done well.
Because I was helpless, Mr. Aka took care of me and disappeared before me.
Still, I was happy to meet Mr. Aka
Thats why those words that were said at the same time
It may be harsh to say, but the publics eyes are not as lenient as you think. Because he understands it better than anyone, he left you. The eyes around you do not matter? Do not make me laugh. No matter how aggressive your remarks, you who knows nothing of the world, its people, or of demons have no basis. Tis unreliable.
What about me now? Even if I say something bullish, as I am now, I can do a little?
At the least there was no falsehood in you personally such trust was had, I believe.
In response to the question I had, Treainar gave me an assessment that sounded like a passing grade.
I felt that I had gotten a little better since then, and I felt that I had been saved a little.
Thats why
We have to carry Aoniis share of the burden Larouiph both of us.
Yes thats right.
Larouiph and I realized once again that we cannot let Aoniis feelings, which he entrusted to us at the cost of his life, go to waste.
Big brother, you definitely have to find Mr. Aka!
Yeah! Even if something happens, Ill be there to help!
Ah, Slayer, youre cheating! Ill be the one to do it! Ill beat up the people who bully Mr. Aka!
No, itll be me!
And when Espie and Slayer, who were completely engrossed in my story, clung to me and spoke with a snort, I couldnt help but laugh again and nod in agreement at the same time.
Alright, Dark Elf! You too find Aka and bring him joy!
Oh, yes, yes!
Indeed, as it stands, Akas plight will be too pitiful! Please go to his side and offer your support!
Then, one after another, the elves, who were overwhelmed with emotion, thought about Mr. Akas happiness and asked Larouiph to fulfill her role.
But Larouiph shook her head sadly at the words.
I cant as I am right now no matter what everyone says after listening to Akas storyit makes me feel thatfor a woman like me.
Saying this, Larouiph dropped her shoulders and looked down.
Listening to Akas story from me, she seems to be sad because she thinks she doesnt deserve it.
Then, then perhaps, in saving more people than you have slain. you may yet find redemption.
No, Yitea, there neednt be any redemption, dont you see? In the throes of war, reciprocation reigns, and besides, you dont believe her to be wicked in the first place, do you? Even though she may ponder upon her deeds then, there is no redemption required.
You may be right, but.
Indeed, its a conundrum. How does one make amends for slaying in the heat of war? That is a puzzlement beyond reckoning.
Right. It was mutual. Both sides carry blame. Its not about whos right or wrong in this era of war.
So its not about redemption.
But, it is not something that can be easily resolved.
For now, instead of worrying about making amends, why dont you try living in a way that makes you feel like you can go meet them in your current state? Just a thought.
At the end of the day, I dont have an answer, but I have to continue living. I have to reward Aonii.
Thats why the Chieftain may be right.
But then, when I met Mr. Aka, I didnt get the feeling that Larouiph and Mr. Aka had already reunited.
I dont know if she was looking for Mr. Aka in the world more than ten years from now, or if she hadnt met him yet
I guess to answer that question Ill first have to yeah.
Yes, no matter how much I think about it now, history has already been decided.
In that case, all I can do is go and see what happens.
Yes, to go back to the time I came from.
