"How could you know that?"

Riley was the only one who supposed to know about this, yet Nainiae was also aware of this, so Inaril panicked She turned to where Nainiae was standing and asked

"This kid became my accomplice"

Riley said Nainiae was his accomplice Nainiae put on dissatisfied look on her face Meanwhile, Inaril put on a puzzled look on her face

"An accomplice… You mean more like a help"

"…?"

"Anyway, hurry up and tell ht for Inaril to tell Nainiae Thinking it could not be helped, Inaril sighed and explained why she quickly left the house

"I have a granddaughter"

"A granddaughter?"

"I can’t say that she is related to hter to me She is a child who I took in To be precise, that child foundis that I think that child, Iril, took the Holy Sword"

"About fifteen to sixteen…"

"What does she look like?"

"She has her hair tied to the back She has parted bangs to the front She is probably wearing a round and flat hat The hat probably looks pretty strange because I made it myself"

Based on her description, Riley started to look around the village Inaril shook her head once again and suggested,

"That child… She is quite fae I think it would be faster to ask the villagers"

Having heard her words, Nara decided to do so right away He found a villager alking by He quickly went to the villager and asked,

The villager was a faraze However, he found Inaril behind Nara and asked,

He looked strong and appeared to have the good-looking face of someone from a nobility fae where she should start thinking about her future!"

Having heard the farmer’s explanation, Riley turned his head toward the direction that the farmer pointed at He then looked at Nainiae,

"Nainiae"

With her response, Nainiae was trying to swing her aro back to where everyone was

"Huk! W… Wait! I’ll go with you!"

"… Huh?"

Nara was extending his hand toward an empty space He was petrified like that The farmer, who told Nara the whereabouts of Iril, was also petrified like Nara

"Ugh… Ugh…"

On her hat and shoulders, she was drenched in blood Iril looked at the ground where the corpse was lying down Her breathing was rough

"Iril… You…"

Because it inter, every time she panted, her breath came out visibly like smoke Ryan vacantly stared at Iril Ryan looked like about half of his soul was out of his body He directed his gaze down to the dead body that was stepped on by Iril’s feet

"…"

The dead body was silent

"… I am well aware"

It was not certain if Iril had calmed down She started to randrand down at the dead body, she tightly held on to the sword She bit her lips and tried to suppress her fury
