363 Chapter 362

After a few seconds, Ataru relaxes her shoulders.

"Hah, I can't help staring at each other like this." Sit down in that chair there. We don't want to be hostile to you, we just want to talk. "

I cut out the story from the Ataru side and untied the rope - I had a weapon to tell them that I only wanted a conversation.

…………

Caro's father, who was staring with his mouth closed, sat silently on a chair nearby.

Ataru sits face to face, and Carlo stands behind Ataru with a sense of tension.

"Well, let's start by introducing ourselves." My name is Ataru. I've traveled this far as an adventurer. The one on top of you is the window, and the one at the entrance is Valkyrie. "

After deciding that it would be better to talk to her, Atal begins by introducing himself.

But Caro didn't dare to explain.

"--I 'm Carlo. I'm also an adventurer... I think it's your daughter."

With a complicated mood, Carlo turned his gaze to his father in a somewhat unsure tone.

"Um... hey, are you really Carlo?" She was captured when the village was attacked, and I couldn't find her no matter how many times I looked for her!? "

Once again, the eyes of the man who calmed down and stared at Carlo were full of confusion.

If my daughter, who had not been found for many years and had already given up, appeared before my eyes, I could understand that she would not believe it.

"It's true. I met your brother and he admitted to Carlo... He said he resembled his mother."

Atal explains what happened when he went to the land of the Beastmen, and Carlo nods next to him.

"Like you said, I was captured when the village was attacked." I don't remember that time, but I heard it was the case. And then I went from place to place... and every time I got hurt. ”

Caro's expression, stiff to suppress the throbbing beat from the tension, slowly chooses his words and makes her hug her body.

Many things changed during my trip with Ataru, but my memories of those days were still hard.

I've had a lot of opportunities to talk about looking for my parents, but this hasn't gotten used to it over and over again.

"Oh, that's not true... no, but Carlo isn't hurt, is he?" If it's such a big injury, it looks like there's still a lot left.... "

Unlike the story, Caro's father asks such a question because he is still half-hearted.

The current Carlo is satisfied with his five bodies no matter what he looks like, and he has clean skin with no injuries.

I knew somehow that I would say that, so Caro answered with a bitter smile.

“It's true, I got so hurt that I couldn't even walk. And I was drifting to a slave dealer... where I had a fateful encounter--that's Ataru-sama."

Carlo, who had a painful expression earlier, smiled softly and looked at Atal.

The miracle of meeting Atar at that time was an unforgettable memory in her life.

"None of my injuries healed as usual. His ears were torn, and he was burned, and his legs were cut, and his voice was barely heard."

Even if I look back now, the miracle of being alive in there is not so strange a serious injury.

I was given minimal medical attention, but I was desperate under that slave dealer that I was just waiting to die quietly.

…………

Caro's father, who hadn't expected so much from being kidnapped, was speechless.

But that's all Atar-sama treated me!

Carlo smiled the best he had ever seen.

Even though Carlo still doesn't know why he chose me, I still think what Attar did to me is a great blessing that I can't return no matter how much I did.

"Since then, I've been traveling with Ataru-sama for a long time." You promised me that you would free me from slavery and take me back to my hometown, and you accomplished that too... next time, you told me to look for my father and mother. "

While lots and lots of different thoughts were about to overflow, Caro, who had a frightened expression, was stuck with this word about what had happened to him so far and why he had come here.

"Well, I didn't do such a big thing." Rather, can I introduce myself to you? "

Atar looked at her with a gentle look as Carlo finished talking, and returned to his usual expression as he looked at the beast man.

All the Atlants have talked about themselves so far, and they haven't heard about him at all.

"Ah, oh, I'm sorry. I was surprised, too... no, that's an excuse. My name is Kalota. After the rabbit beast was beside him and attacked the city where he lived, he travelled with his wife Maele. At first, I was looking for Carol, but long after I ran out of information... I gave up until I couldn't see her anymore."

Carlota, whose atmosphere was as sharp as that of a stubborn sword just now, quietly dropped her shoulders and shook her head loosely.

Then, when I raised my face firmly, I looked at Caro's face and then turned my gaze to the ataru.

"Ataru-kun, thank you very much for helping my daughter."

Having said that, Carlotta lowered her head deeply.

It was all thanks to Atar that I was able to meet my daughter, whom I thought I would never see again.

"Like I said, I didn't do much." It didn't cost any money for treatment, and it didn't take much effort. Besides, I was only able to help because of my convenience. "

Since it is difficult for an attar who is not used to being gazed at like that to be thanked too much, he said it in such a way as to throw it out.

"Fufu, I know that Ataru-sama is kind even if you say that!"

Carlo, who knew that the attitude of the athlete was from the shadows, giggled and gladly looked at the athlete.

I really appreciate this, so I didn't want you to say bad things.

"Well, well, that's fine." But what are you doing now? And what about Carlo's mother? I don't think he's involved in this incident..... "

Feeling uncomfortable, Ataru opens her mouth to change the subject.

Since there was no such thing as a participant or intruder, Attar asked such a question.

"Oh, I belong to a slave liberation group." Once we have the information that an auction like this will be held, we will sneak in and move in advance, and eventually cause a commotion to help the slaves - at least at the cost of sin. "

He was doing this because he couldn't help his daughter.

“My wife, Maele, is now in a safe house, our home. I didn't take part in this... do you want to see my mother, Caro?"

Of course, it's not that bad!

Carlo answered the paternally gentle Carlo's question in astonishment.

"So, I'd like to show the two of you to our place... how about that?"

Carlo understands that the party is led by Atal, so Carlota asks Atal this question.

"... oh, okay. Take me with you."

With Caro's expectation inflated, Ataru nodded quietly, her eyes narrowed gently.

As a result, Ataru and the others headed for the slave liberation group "..."
