256 Lesson 255:

Guided by a woman's house with a warm atmosphere, Ataru inside decides to listen for a cup of tea.

"And yet, Caro, you've grown up."

The woman who sipped the tea was nostalgic once again when she saw Caro and had tears in her eyes.

"Um, I'm sorry. I don't remember at all... I barely remember when I was little."

Feeling uncomfortable with that gaze, Caro snugly dropped his shoulder and was nagging and apologizing to the woman.

"Like, I'm just glad you showed up healthy. Because I don't have any children. When I was a little girl, I thought of Caro like a real daughter. When that happened, my husband and I cried every day."

A woman who talks relaxed to miss the old days.

Caro was also in tears with a look on his face that showed that he was really worried about Caro.

"Um... can I ask what happened to that?

"You did say Mr. Attal. My name is Emilia. You brought me here, didn't you? Thank you so much. Because I thought I'd never see you again... very, uhh..."

And again, Emilia weeps like she was impressed.

Ataru and Caro decide to wait until Emilia calms down, wondering if Caro is feeling uncomfortable when he suddenly appears.

After a few minutes, calm Emilia gives her face up.

"Oh, I'm sorry. It was so sad that I still remember...... yes, but I'm already jerking off. That was when I was young and Carol was a little girl."

While still in grief, Emilia, who thought she had to talk, begins to speak with a serious look.

"This village was a little bigger in those days, the size of what they call a town. There, one day, a man from an injured tribe arrived and took his life in the desperate care of the town's doctors and those who could use healing magic..."

I don't think it had anything to do with Caro. It was Atal and Caro confused by the fact that the old story started, but there's no way Emilia is going to stop talking.

I thought it was going to be a long story. Barchias sat round at Caro's feet when he was excited to make one elbow, with Ifria riding a bit on its back.

"The guy got better gradually, and finally he was able to run around and crack it down a lot with the residents of town... so far so good story. People and beasts helped each other indefinitely, and became friends - such stories"

Emilia smiles somewhere worried and sad when she says the content is a good story.

"The man got along with a girl in town. Everyone was smiling at it. The child's parents will admit to both of them. But one day... the man took the girl out of town. I was surprised because it was sudden, and my parents were furious..."

So far, the smile disappears completely from Emilia's face.

"The tragedy happened - that night. The town was attacked by bandits... Sometimes it was midnight, and people screamed and ran away at things they didn't know could happen in the dark... so many people were killed, and so many of them were caught. Luckily for me, I just had a light injury and I was able to hide from the delicious, but Caro..."

It was easy to imagine that the word was followed by the word grabbed -.

"Oh, you know, I know I got caught. Probably... nagging, I somehow remember that, and thinking about how it went until I met Master Atal, I guess so... You can still be convinced about yourself!... but the... what about your father and mother?

That was what Caro wanted to hear the most.

So far, there has been no talk of Caro's parents.

If you two were alive and in this village, wouldn't Emilia have spoken to you as a matter of priority? Caro asks questions with such anxiety.

"Caro's parents, you know... yeah, right. You care...... but I'm sorry. I did my best to escape and hide. So I don't know anything about your parents... All I know from the stories I heard later is that Caro was caught and that I didn't see Caro's father and mother the next day..."

It was Emilia who knew this question would surely come, but she distresses her expression at her inability to tell her the answer Caro asks for.

Caro was confused as to what to say about this story.

"I mean, Caro's parents' lives and deaths are unknown. You mean maybe he's still alive somewhere, maybe he's dead..."

Emilia looks bitter at Atal, who once again sums up the story.

"Nothing like that..."

Don't you have to tell me? With that said, Emilia confirms Caro's expression.

"It's okay, the facts matter. I just found out that your father and mother might be alive, and I have a little hope."

Caro's expression was also sad, but positive.

Of course, there were possibilities of suffering like Caro did a while ago, but now I try not to think there.

"Tea, it was a pleasure. Now, Caro, because of this, why don't you take a look around the village a little longer and then head back to the city?"

Atal cuts up the story and gets up.

"Ha! Um, Emilia. Thank you for the story. Let me talk to you next time, please."

Caro also stood up and lowered his head with a peck towards Emilia.

"Oh, are you going now? But yeah...... now that we've talked all dark, let's talk more fun!

Although remorsefully concerned, Emilia also felt the weight of the air on this occasion, so she did not hold the Atals back strongly.

Atal and Caro, who have left Emilia's house behind, decide to look around again at the village before returning to the city.

"- Caro, how'd it go?

It's been a while since I've been back home. How'd it go? The question.

"Um, yeah. I barely remembered it, but there was a little place I remember, and some people remembered me, so I was glad."

Caro shares his thoughts as he remembers what happened in the village.

"... how are things with your parents?

"Right."

I'm a little stuck on words for Atal's next question. He put his hand on his mouth to think about it and seemed to sum up his feelings.

"It was a shame I didn't know where I was. If he had died, I think that would have convinced him."

I think Atal, having heard the thoughts of a refreshing Caro, can't help but get dry there if he's also a parent who hasn't been face-to-face for long enough to obscure his memory.

"- But now that I have the possibility of being alive, I strongly want to see you for that purpose!

That was Caro's unequivocal intention.

Positive and proclaimed with a firm look in Atar's eyes, it was the guiding principle for their next journey.

"Oh, right. Continue your journey, gather information, and find the two of you!

Atal was smiling and nodding loudly as he put his hand on Caro's head, trying to respect that will.
