'Unwill.'

He pulled his head out of his mother's arms and looked up at the sky.

'Thank you.'

It was quiet. After a while, a very, very long time later, I heard a message. [The 'Words to Build the World' tells us not to forget to pack items.] From the long hesitation and dryness of the content, a more tenderness was conveyed. I chuckled.

'Yes!'

At that time, Grandpa carefully intervened, as if he had decided that the mother-daughter reunion had been done enough.

"There...... Elthea."

"Who are you?"

"Ah, Abby!"

"I don't have Abby."

"Kirch!"

As if he had been struck with an arrow in the chest, Grandpa took a breath.

Mom hugged me tighter on the shoulder and shot me tightly.

"You've found a real daughter. I found a real family. I'm going to live with my family."

"Ede, Elisha was cast out! The orphanage and Bisten homebrew had deceived me by weaving and setting up a theater actor. It was a hoax aimed at our family. Now that I've cleaned it all up, let's stop going home, Elthea. Huh?"

"My house is not there."

At Mom's resoluteness, Grandpa couldn't help it.

"Everything, I'll hand over the title right away. You don't have to suffer outside. If you bring your husband and kids in and live..."

"Title? Property? Hell no, do you think it would make sense to that kind of Auror user?"

"Eh, Elthea, then......."

"I don't need it all."

Mom didn't even listen to her earlobes. Grandpa was fidgety and poured out his words as if he were clinging.

"Me, I was wrong, Elthea. What I treated strictly with the desire to raise you as a quick successor, what Elisha took care of so a subject that I once failed to do properly as Abbey, all of which I regret by hitting the ground.

"You care about me when Elisha was there, so I don't know what to do with my body. Now come."

"He, but remember one thing. I took Elisha so much because I projected you onto her. I keep coming up with things that I couldn't do for you, and I wanted to do Abbey with an atoning heart..."

"Do you say that? I was practicing and he was a practice?!"

"Big, crunch. That, yes. It's all an excuse. Just that I was stupid. I've done it all wrong......."

"...... Wait, what are you doing now?!"

Suddenly Grandpa knelt down in front of his mother.

Mom grabbed her by the shoulder and tried to raise her up, but with the force she had previously plugged into, Grandpa didn't budge.

"She was a lousy Abby and didn't know how to love and care for her daughter. So please do me a favor. Give me a chance, so that I can learn how to love you, even now..."

"......."

"Uh, how can I forgive this Abby? Just talk. Hippopotamus of anything. Really, whatever......."

"......."

Mom quietly turned away from her grandfather.

"Eh, Elthea! Don't turn around, Elthea! Show your face! Please!"
