Cereille began to speak slowly.

A hazy recollection of the man’s words from the time her mother was murdered. The possibility that the man could have appeared before her on her 16th birthday. The possibility that if she told anyone, her brother would have been killed. That she had carried a sword and learned magic in order to protect herself and avenge her mother.

Cereille’s father silently listens to Cereille’s narration as she speaks of her past.

And today, Keith was kidnapped, and there was a letter in his room. That Cereille went alone as per the letter’s demands. Then I added to the explanation that I saw Cereille rushing out and felt uncomfortable, so I went after her.

“I’m sorry. I thought you were trying to be strong after your mother was killed in front of you. I didn’t think it was for when the person who killed Shulia would show up.” (Count Fornitz)

“I, too, have told Father that I was simply protecting myself.” (Cereille)

“When I read the letter tucked into the book, I knew you were ready to die. I couldn’t stand the thought of losing you and Keith, so I ran after you.” (Count Fornitz)

“Father……” (Cereille)

“I gave you a hard time.” (Count Fornitz)

“You’re not to blame, father. Mother’s murder was like a nightmare. I didn’t understand at the time that it was real. But I couldn’t tell anyone, even though I was very young, because I knew that if what the man had said was true, I would never be able to tell anyone. All I could do was learn to use a sword, learn magic, and wait for my 16th birthday.” (Cereille)

Thinking about it, it was already a long time. If it were me, I would’ve gone crazy.

But, at last, something that she has carried for many years has come to an end. Cereille is only 16 years old. Her life is just beginning.

“So, the man……” (Count Fornitz)

To that question, Cereille swallowed her saliva, looked straight at her father, and slowly opened her mouth.

“I killed him.” (Cereille)

Cereille’s father rose from his chair and slowly approached Cereille. Cereille stiffened her body. And he gently hugged her.

“I’m really, sorry.” (Count Fornitz)

“Father……” (Cereille)

Tears streamed down Cereille’s eyes.

Good, really good. However, I felt that the girl dressed as a bear next to them was ruining the emotional atmosphere. It’s ruining it image-wise.

Then I explained what happened here with Cereille and me, while also describing some of the things that happened as vaguely as possible.

“Manipulated the monsters… And she had single-handedly defeated those assembled monsters…” (Count Fornitz)

In the end, there was no way I could cover up the monsters lying outside, so I told him that I had defeated them. At first, he thought it seemed incredulous, but after I explained to him about the monsters and showed him my guild card, he was convinced that my adventurer rank was C.

The only thing I kept hidden was about the worm and the wyverns.

Just talking about controlling monsters was already unbelievable, but there was no need to talk about the worm and the wyverns, you know.

“Speaking of which, Yuna. The man said he threw the magic stone into the lake, how did you find it?” (Cereille)

Cereille asked me as if she had just remembered. Of course, I can’t answer that. So I replied.
