Breakthrough with the Forbidden Master

Episode 487: Between the Curtains (Auntie)

It's dangerous to be alone.

Everyone follows.

Everyone told me that, but I refused.

Because when we went to talk, it was like everyone was looking like they were going to get rid of it.

Of course, I don't know how you feel.

We are weak and timid.

"Right here..."

Deep in the woods, we can't reach it without passing a little badly scaffolded.

It seems that the children who were playing also went in the mood of exploration like "Let's go deeper than usual" and came to "there" by accident.

The same was true of Hiro and Maam's childhood.

I hope that the experience of baking their hands all the time and searching all the way to these places will be utilized even when they become grandmothers.

In that sense, Ah-kun was an incredibly clever man... but now he's a boy who can go to even more amazing places.

and that's it.....

"The hut... and the field... it won't last much longer... but it's very..."

There was indeed a hut there, as the villagers said.

It's handmade from wood, and it's even made from fields outside.

Grow vegetables here - I know.

I've been working in the field for years, so it shouldn't be easy to grow in this environment.

However, I made a field with great perseverance, plowed it, cut open the trees and let in a little sunlight.....

"Ah......"

---!?

Then, in front of me, a very large body of "he" appeared in front of the field where the hard work was transmitted.

A much larger body than a human.

It's easy to lift a human with just one arm, or to cut a thousand pieces, and with that big mouth...... but......

I'm scared indeed.

but.....

"Um, I... ah, wait, calm down! I..."

He soon made a mistake.

The huge body, the body that you can tell at a glance is "powerful", but the eyes......

"Wait! I'm sorry, this is your house." I'm sorry for coming so suddenly. "

His eyes were weak and frightened like a lost child.

Impossible.

I'm not so familiar with battles, but I do know that his “race” is much stronger than ordinary humans.

That's why it's so easy if I'm in his hands... why?

"I live in a nearby village, Avia. I'm the only one here.... what?... are you leaving today? Oh, wait, no! I'm not here to kick you out, or anything like that!"

I don't know.

Why is he more frightened?

Why are you looking so lonely?

why.....

"I heard you helped the children in the village get lost in the woods and get attacked by beasts... the children were grateful!" And yet, yesterday, the villagers met you... and they did something to scare you? I am truly sorry that I have made you feel that way, that you are my benefactor, that you live here. "

But I didn't say anything to him that made him look like this, and I couldn't kick him out like this.

I bowed my head and apologized to him when I noticed.

The fear that I had vanished into his figure, which frightened me the other way around.

Then he asked me to lift his head and be gentle.....

"Huh? Can't help it? What...?"

He smiled at me. But that smile was so anxious that my heart was about to tear apart.....

"Are you used to it?... that kind of race... that's not true... no..."

He said:

It was natural to be scared.

Because I am such a race.

I swallowed the mild words that almost ruminated, saying, "It's not like that."

Because that's what happened.

I was actually afraid when I saw it.

And he has lived his whole life like that.

That's why he smiles so lonely.

And yet, on the contrary, he.....

"Huh? Onee-san? Ufufufu, you're happy. But when I see it like this, I have a grandson, not a daughter I'm already married to.♪Oh, it's true, it's true... eh? Am I... gentle?"

He said "gentle" to me.

Even though I was "such a race", I accepted it head-on and apologized.

I'm glad to hear that... the moment he said it...

"Eh, hey, hey, hey, what's up?"

He suddenly rolled his tears from his big eyes.

When I realized what was going on, I rushed over to him... and he started crying...

"Eh... do you remember your friend? That person... yes, I was surprised to see you at first, but I apologized right away... and accepted... right...? of a human...!"

I was surprised.

Apparently, he had a human friend, a very dear and truly dear friend, and he repeated me with that friend and cried unintentionally.

"I see... you had a human friend... so dear to you?"

When I asked in amazement, he nodded vigorously to me with a heartfelt smile that he showed for the first time in tears.

I'm the only friend I have in the world that I care about.

But... then...

"Um... where is your friend... now?"

I was wondering if I could dig deeper and ask.

I wonder if I could ask him this question now, when he was all alone and with such meticulous and lonely eyes.

But at this time, I thought, "You have to know this [person]."

And then he.....

"I was traveling the world... and you didn't come with me when I was invited?" Why is that...!? "

As a result, the reason he spoke was inadvertently overflowing with tears.

Perhaps the human friend cared for him too. That's why you invited me to travel with you.

But he really cares about his friends... so we can't go with him...

"Yes... where is your friend now?" What kind of person are you?... Huh? Can't say?... Huh! That person's... reputation... has been... diminished!? "

And when I asked him what his friend was like, he said, “I can't tell you.” He looked lonely again.

Apparently, he seems to be quite a celebrity among humans, but "if he knows that a monster like himself is a friend, he will lose his reputation."

Why is it so sad everywhere... and how kind this person is to me...

I was ashamed to be the first to be scared when I met him and saw him.

"It's because of us humans... because we humans are weak, cowardly, and narrow-minded... because like your friends, you've made us think that everyone can't accept you... even though the war is over..."

Yes, the war is over.

"That village was once attacked by monsters... no, that's an excuse."

And then Hyiro and Maam abandoned their past to a world of hatred and killing.

But a dozen years after the end of the war, it hasn't come true.

Neither the world nor the people can change so easily.

That's why... Ah-kun... took the Empire to the front of the game...

And I might as well.

I may have thought that losing a loved one in all the previous wars was something I could get along with by throwing away all my former stories...

but.....

- Come on, Kron!

- Yes, now the two of us!

- And I'll show you, Bassala!

- Let me chop it for you!

- Get us out of here!

- Get us out of here!

Ah-kun is already on that path... and yet... I... we?

Then we know what to do.

Ah-kun... if you... if you were here... I'm sure you'd accept him.

I met him, and I was going to finish my life in that village 'forever'.

But don't think that nothing will change forever.

For the sake of a new era, we, the old humans, must change now.

Because the children of the village will live a different era from ours.

We cannot pull our legs for the sake of our grandchildren... or for the sake of our great-grandchildren!

We have to change as adults.

"Alright, you can only get out of this forest today... and live in our village!" I'm responsible for everything! I'll be sure to convince everyone in the village! ”

That's all I can do right now.

But I'm ready.

He rolled his eyes at my words, but immediately shook his head to the side in a panic.

Still, I won't pull.

"Not just your friends or me... we need to change our perceptions... Live with us in our village and tell us more about you! And I'll make sure everyone knows you!”

Ah-kun. I thought my grandma could only pray for your safety.

But that's not all I'm going to do.

Auntie, I'll try what I can do for you.

"Okay? I won't allow you to run away if you think it's annoying!"

A-kun may always be an obstacle to the world and the wall of his race.

But at that time... even if one day you fall in love with a girl of a different race... even if you become friends with someone of a different race... maybe it's just a small thing so that I can be on your side from the bottom of my heart, but I'll also try my grandma.

"Just shut up and listen! Next time, I'm going to pound your mouth!... oh, oh, oh, it's a little old-fashioned me, but come anyway."

He's upset at my hand... no, he's confused about what to do with all the emotions.

"And... will you make me your second friend in the world?"

Then the big man cried again in front of my eyes.

"Huh? Fufu, if you look closely, do I look familiar? Fufufu, that's right. Didn't you see? I was at the viewing party yesterday... yes, that's right! Earth Lagan's aunt is me,♪and just as Ah protected us and our young children from the monsters a dozen years ago, so you're on the side of justice that protected the children of the village just like that girl, so let me welcome you... eh? Wait, why are you crying again!?"
