The first time she saw the other party, little Emilia realized that it was bad, and immediately looked for a hiding place.But because of the previous cry, even if Little Emilia wanted to hide, it was already too late, because that person had already realized the existence of Little Emilia.
"Oh?"
Little Emilia was already very familiar with it, even when the voice of the man who was complaining just now sounded.It was Joss, the voice of the man who shouldn't be here at this time in Little Emilia's thoughts.
And Qiu Si, watching the upper body get into the dense bushes at this time, leaving only a slightly raised butt exposed, little Emilia showed a funny expression, as if coaxing the little girl. Said like a child.
"There's a cute little butt sticking out there, what's the matter, are you looking for something? I can help!"
Joss' words as if coaxing a child made little Emilia realize that she couldn't hide, so she stood up and raised her hands facing Joss as if she wanted to raise a white flag on her head.
"It's really, I met a very cute lady...huh?"
The smile that Qiu Si just showed because of Little Emilia's actions stopped the moment he noticed Little Emilia's face.
No, it might be a bit strange to say that he stopped. The expression on Qiu Si's face did indeed maintain a smile, but the smile contained in that smiling expression disappeared.
Rather than saying it was a stopped smile, it would be more accurate to say that it was a frozen smile. Qiu Si's expression was as if frozen by ice, unable to produce any changes at that moment.
And whether it was the sudden interruption of the words or the frozen and stiff expression, little Emilia who was standing opposite Qiu Si jumped.
For a moment, both of them could only stand in place, looking back at each other without any movement.
"Little... Miss, you are...
"No, that's not right... Could it be that you..."
Trembling, Qius's voice that seemed about to cry broke the silence between the two.In Qiu Si's eyes, he seemed to see something unbelievable, and he wanted to affirm, but also shook his head in self-denial.
And Qiu Si's weird performance made little Emilia a little nervous and didn't know what happened.
Although under Little Emilia's observation during this period, when talking with Fortuna, Qiu Si sometimes showed a heavy and sad expression, but Little Emilia has never been as excited as she is now. never seen.
This made little Emilia wonder what to do for a while.
But little Emilia knew that even if she didn't know what to do, she couldn't just keep doing nothing.
Like a weak and fragile lost child who has found his relatives, or like a traveler who has been walking in darkness and silence has seen the light, it is an expression of fear and expectation intertwined.
That was an expression that the grown-up Emilia could understand, but little Emilia couldn't understand at this time.
But even if she couldn't understand, little Emilia realized that she couldn't just ignore it.
That pitiful look, as if she was looking for comfort but trying her best to endure, made it impossible for little Emilia to keep silent.
"Jose, are you okay?"
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh—"
Little Emilia's question was like the last straw that overwhelmed the camel's camel, and the embankment of expression and emotion that had been trying to control it was instantly crushed.
As if his whole body had lost all his strength, Qiu Si knelt on the ground weakly on his knees, bending his waist involuntarily so that his sight was at the same level as that of little Emilia.
The eyes that originally contained countless emotions that little Emilia could not understand were pouring down like a river that broke its embankment. While shedding tears, Juss shook his head and replied in a choked voice that had changed the tone: "No, no problem..."
"—Ah! Absolutely, no problem...no problem at all."
"I...because of me, now...at this very moment, I have been saved like never before!"
The choked up voice of Qiu Si contained complex emotions, which little Emilia could not understand, but she could also feel the excitement in Qiu Si's heart.
but……
"Why, you still cry after being saved?"
Little Emilia didn't know what had saved Qiu Si, nor the reason why he was crying, so she asked out the doubts in her heart.
And Qiu Si gave Little Emilia the answer.
"It's not crying because of sadness...it's just being so happy."
"Because I felt joy and happiness, I couldn't help but shed tears... There are such warm and joyful tears in this world."
"My tears are not because of others...but you, because I was taught this from you...you guys...so..."
Facing the sobbing Qiu Si, little Emilia reluctantly held Qiu Si's hands.Through the touch of her fingertips, she could feel Qiu Si's excited emotion.
At the same time, she seemed to be able to understand the behavior of Qius crying out of joy.
Little Emilia also had a time when she couldn't fall asleep alone at night.And whenever that time came, she would sneak into Fortuna's bed and fall asleep with her 'mother' arm on her head.
When she became safe and fell asleep in her mother's arms, little Emilia wanted to cry for some reason.
Thinking about it, he must be in the same mood as Qiu Si at this moment.
"It's all right, Juce. It's all right, it's all right."
Little Emilia stretched out her hand and stroked Joss's head, just like how Fortuna's mother comforted her in the memory.
And all of this was seen by Echidna and Emilia.
"I didn't expect that a guy like you would become someone's salvation."
"What a surprise."
"...It should be because of my father and mother."
Emilia replied calmly: "I had no contact with Qiu Si before that, so the reason why Qiu Si is so excited, I can only think of the parents I have never met."
After all, Joss would mention her father and mother to Fortuna almost every time.
Chapter 404 Your Last
"But, was it like this when I was young..."
"Obviously so many things happened, but I actually forgot all of them."
Before that, Emilia had no experience or memory about her childhood at all. She just knew that she lived in the Great Forest of Ariol, and that the people frozen in the forest were her kin.
What was the Ariol Forest like before it was frozen?How did she live before?What about her relationship with other people?
Regarding everything about the past, Emilia has always been ignorant, not knowing what her past was like, nor what the future will be like.
Although the reason for forgetting everything in the past was because of the contract with Parker, Emilia still felt a little sorry for her mother Fortuna who had always loved her.
But now, Emilia recalled the past by contacting Parker with the contract.Recalling the matter of Fortuna's mother, recalling the matter of Qiu Si, learned about the relationship between himself and Qiu Si, learned about the things he had experienced, and remembered the love he had experienced.
It was a different kind of love from Subaru's love for himself, the same warmth, the same security, the same reassuring.This made Emilia miss the time when she lived with Fortuna's mother.
However, if you think about it carefully, if all the accidents really hadn't happened, and she was still living in the Great Forest of Elliott with Fortuna's mother, maybe she wouldn't be able to meet Subaru, right?
Even if she is a half-elf, her lifespan is much longer than that of humans, even if she is not frozen 100 years later, she will not become very old, but she will definitely become as mature as Fortuna's mother , Standing with Subaru but it doesn't match the 'age difference' at all.
Therefore, Emilia's mood at this moment is actually very complicated.
On the one hand, I regret that I will never see Mother Fortuna again, thinking that it would be great if Mother Fortuna survived.
On the other hand, Emilia was thankful that the Great Forest of Ariol was completely frozen, which led to her being found by Roswaal, and she ushered in the fate of encountering Subaru.
Emilia once again realized that she is actually a very despicable person. Even the mother Fortuna who cared for her like that and regarded herself as a real mother also had a feeling of Fortuna in her heart. It's such a good idea that Mom is dead.
'I'm really broken. '
Emilia thought so, watching the back view of her childhood self in the illusion after comforting Qius, then holding his hand to find Fortuna and leaving.
She deeply realized that compared to her childhood self, or even the self before she met Subaru, the current her has undergone a reversal-like change.
However, even though she was aware of such a change, Emilia didn't feel that there was anything bad about it.Even if you know what is right and what is wrong, you have the willingness to choose the wrong side willingly in your heart.
However, perhaps this is growth and maturity.Compared with the self who was hesitant and confused even when being pushed forward by others, the current self chooses the direction he wants to move forward completely according to his inner will.
"I guess, that's what Fortuna's mother expects. I hope that I can make my own choices instead of being made by others." '
Now Emilia is more and more convinced that she must have failed to challenge the trial because she did not remember the past.
Because you don't even have the beauty and sorrow in your memory, how can you talk about whether you have crossed over?
"Looking at you, you seem to be ready."
Echidna looked at Emilia and said.
"After all, this seems to be the first time your expression has become serious in this trial... To be honest, it's really disgusting."
"Since you find it disgusting, why don't you stop watching Echidna from the beginning?"
Emilia turned her head to Echidna and said, "As long as I can be liked by Subaru, it doesn't matter to me whether you like Echidna or not."
"Oh, this kind of speech is even more disgusting."
Echidna smiled.
"However, since you're ready..."
──In an instant, the surrounding scenery changed.
Passing through the sealed forest and crossing the path in the forest where they met Qius, the two holding hands were walking towards Fortuna, who looked astonished and whose anger was like a burning flame.
Little Emilia and Joss appeared in front of Fortuna together, which made Fortuna realize what happened even without asking.
It wasn't that Qiu Si couldn't bear it and took the initiative to meet Little Emilia. Fortuna knew that although Qiu Si was very close to her brother and sister-in-law's children, she also knew that her identity was not suitable for being with Little Emily. Ya meet.
So the only possibility is that little Emilia violated the agreement with her, and when she agreed to stay alone in the 'Princess Cabin', she secretly left there.
Although it was clearly from the locked 'princess cabin' outside, Fortuna didn't know exactly how little Emilia escaped.However, this is not an important matter now.
However, just before Fortuna wanted to get angry, Qiu Si came to Fortuna one step ahead of Little Emilia, and took the initiative to apologize, as if he had already thought that Fortuna would It's like getting angry, so I want to take all the responsibility on myself.
And after Little Emilia also took the initiative to apologize, Fortuna looked at the two apologetic figures in front of her, one big and one small, and couldn't help but lose her temper.
And after that, Fortuna never asked little Emilia to stay alone in the 'Princess Cabin' when Joss came.Occasionally, when there is plenty of time, Fortuna will invite Joss to play in the forest with little Emilia.
In front of little Emilia, who has never met her biological parents, Fortuna is like her mother, while Juss has become a role like a father.
It's just that this father is a little clumsy, a little crying, and some evil behaviors that make little Emilia feel childish.
However, little Emilia didn't dislike what Joss said.
"And we, what we want to see next is the last of the three of you—"
Chapter 405 I don't know anything
"Lord Emilia, it would be very dangerous to run around like this!"
"It's not dangerous at all, so it's fine. It's Qiu Si, it's more dangerous if you always wrestle!"
