523 Episode 485: Why You Escaped

I need to talk to Ivy and Maria.

Father looks at us alternately while drinking tea.

"What?"

"What is it?

"If the Hattar village church had leaked Mariah's information outside, it could be predicted that the nobles were already moving."

Sure, if you testify, you'll be in trouble.

"It's possible that the information hasn't leaked yet, but it's better not to be optimistic."

Nod to your father's words.

"Information such as Maria's appearance is not deceptive because she actually meets with the nobles. I would expect them to cut their hair. That's why I'm trying to change my settings."

"Configuration?

Maria looks at her father with a confused look.

I tilt my neck without knowing.

They're looking for a woman around her 30s.

Certainly.

"Don't you think we should be family to deceive that? Maria and I are married and Ivy is the child. This is a big break from the woman you're looking for."

"... eh!

Father and Maria are family!

Ah, well, this isn't really family, because it's to deceive the chaser.

Oh, yeah... two kids?

My mother!

No, it's not true, but it's a lie to think about if Maria-san had a chaser...

No, I'm confused.

Uh, this is a lie to escape.

It's not true.

"No, you know, that."

Maria is as confused as I am next door.

"What do you think?

I don't care what you say...

Sure, I think it's pretty effective for people looking for a woman.

My family is definitely excluded.

"I think it's a good idea."

"Where's Maria?

"I, uh, apologize for the inconvenience... no more"

I feel sorry for Maria.

Well, you care.

"Actually, we're running away from the church in Hattal. That's why if Maria were here, we'd be more misled."

Hmm?

Does the church look so much for us?

"What? Really?

"Ah, the churchmen are after what I have. So I ran away before they took me."

Oh, I see.

To lighten Maria's feelings.

Nevertheless, the truth and lies intersect beautifully.

The expression is the same as usual, and if I don't know anything, I'm going to be fooled.

Really?

"Ah, that's why we appreciate Maria's presence. Become, Ivy?

That's what your father says and looks at me.

Smile and nod.

"... I see. If it helps the druids."

"Great. Thank you."

My father showed a slight relief.

"If that's the case, we need to change the way we call and talk."

Hmm?

How do you talk?

Um, mom would be fine.

"Ivy, that's how you talk."

I'm sure you are.

Um... wow, it's embarrassing.

Easy and cheap.

"Mother....."

"Yes"

When I saw Maria-san, her face became red.

I am also bright red.

Or why are you so embarrassed to just call me?

Say hello from now on.

All right.

"It's nervous and rod reading, but, well, come on, we're getting used to it."

"Yeah, wait till you get used to it."

I wonder why.

I don't have anything to do when I talk to my father.

Maria... my back hurts when I talk to my mother.

"Hi, Ivy."

Ahahah.

Maria-san and... your mother read bars.

And my face is too strong.

"Kukukuku. Ivy, Maria, whatever."

My father laughed because he couldn't stand it anymore.

It's pretty bad, isn't it?

Why are you so nervous when you just call me?

Fufu

Oh, he's laughing.

It's not too harsh, but it's funny now.

"Maria. She's laughing, but Maria has another important thing to do."

"What? What?"

Makes your mother look nervous in your father's words.

"Call me Druid. And Ivy and I have to be nice to each other."

"Uh, yes. Ah...."

"Well, just take your time and get used to it."

"Yes"

Hmm, are you okay?

If you talk a lot, will you get used to it sooner?

"Um..."

Mother opens her mouth with concern.

"What's wrong?

"When I send a letter to Hattal Village, I need you to tell the villagers that you're coming with me."

"Depending on the content, what do you want to tell them?

Um... I don't know the details either. But Chathris. "

Mr. Chathris?

Does your mother still care about him?

"I haven't been able to get out of the room. I ran into her through a small window. I told her I couldn't stay here. You can't stay with Chathris. I wanted to escape, too, from that room, from him. So, that day, you unlocked my room. He took me to the woods."

He means Mr. Biss, right?

Is that it?

That's a little strange, isn't it?

How did Mr. Biss get to the room?

"I noticed it when I ran away. There's no one there all the time. Chathris was in front of the church door, and he stopped me when I tried to speak up. I hid."

That's good.

If you say anything, you'll be caught right away.

"Chathris says the forest caryon has been wiped out."

Hmm?

Cario?

You've heard of it somewhere, that name.

... ah, narcotics flowers.

A delicious flower from Toron.

What, did the church grow drugs?

"The person who was talking to Chathris was very angry. I came here to buy it all, or to waste it all."

Did the nobles come to church to buy drugs?

And you're buying it all?

Considering the amount of flower fields. It's not an amount of personal enjoyment, is it?

You're a lousy aristocrat.

"Chathris, I was in a lot of trouble. Maybe there's something we can use, so we're all looking into it."

Oh, is that why Miss Biss was able to save your mother without anyone in the church?

"I was trying to help because I always said, 'I'm busy, and I'm making time for you, so it's only natural to help me.'"

... I want you to fall into slavery and taste hell.

"But she can't. They say they'll kill you if they find you. Besides, Cario told me that flowers are useless. A flower that people can't grow."

Mr. Biss is a very firm man.

"Chathris grows useless flowers. I'm the only one who can't, but I can't. That's why I want you to tell the villagers about Carlo. She said Kayo destroys people. I don't want Chathris to grow such flowers."

Mother knows it was the church that locked herself up.

I also know that Chathris is from the church.

That's why I want to escape, but I don't want you to do anything bad to Chathlis, who was alone and only slightly healed.

Could this be brainwashing?

I'm getting kind of sad.

"I've already told you about Kayo's flowers, so I'm fine."

"Eh! Really?

"Ah, so we destroyed them all."

A mother with a surprised look at her father's words.

As far as I can tell, we are the ones who messed up the church.

Toron, that's great.

"What kind of flower is that cario?

"What kind of flowers?

Your mother leans her neck at your father's words.

"How to talk"

"Ah, what kind of flowers?

"Cario's roots contain narcotics. Do you know anything about drugs?

Mother nods to her father's question.

"Many of the people I met were suffering from drug diseases. I was happy to lose it."

Hahaha.

Many of the nobles who are doing bad things are drug addicts.

"Drug addiction is a little different from illness."

No?

"Ah, no matter how prevented the illness may come under surprise, I can't deal with it perfectly myself. But drugs can be perfectly prevented if they don't do it themselves."

"Do it yourself?

A mother who leans her neck to her father's words.

"That's right. It's drugs that can't stop themselves anymore."

"Can't you stop it?

"I think once or twice is fine, but I'm addicted to drugs. Some people want drugs, others change their personality, and it's dangerous."

Mother nods slowly to her father's words.

"Someone wanted it and saw me kill the woman who stopped me."

I see.

Seeing it means seeing future events, right?

"Drugs destroy things that matter to you as people. Both those who use it and those who sell it will be thrown into slavery. Whoever sold it would never get out of the harshest place alive again."

Yes, it is.

"Do you think Chathris knows that?

"Oh, you know."

When my father spoke forcefully, my mother nodded with loneliness.
