[Three businessmen and two orcs living in the suburbs died in an accident. 】

That's what they told me.I, who believed what the merchants said, thought from the orc couple that they might have children.Maybe the children are still waiting for their parents to come home - thinking of this, I took the merchant up the mountain to look for it, and found the orc's home. "

What he said next was roughly consistent with what Elise said.

The officials who visited the sisters told them that their parents had died in an accident, and they were taken into the country.

however--

From here on, what Elise said was completely different from Mr. Official.

"A few days after they came to this country, a sad thing happened."

He spoke the truth.

"The merchants who survived turned their targets on the girls for money and revenge. They armed with knives and torches and broke into the two people's homes at night.

The three businessmen first found their sister.

Like her parents, Ai Lijie didn't show any fear even when surrounded by adults, and kept struggling.

But she is still just a child, and her physique is too different from that of an adult.

She was immediately overwhelmed by the merchants.

The merchants then retaliated.

Several big men put down their knives and beat and kicked her.Even when she curled up and begged for mercy with tears, the merchants refused to stop.

They were probably scheduled to beat her to the brink of death before taking her away.

At this moment, a knife that was set aside stabbed one of the men in the back.

The man turned his head and saw a girl who was a little younger than Ai Lijie.Milina wants to save her sister from a one-sided brutality.

The stabbed man let go of his sister with an unspoken cry, and beat her with the torch in his hand.Then he immediately threw away the torch in his hand, picked up the knife that fell on the ground, and stabbed Milina, who covered her face and screamed, again and again until she died of anger.

The remaining two who felt bad tried to stop the mad man, but just as the two stepped forward, the man riding on the younger sister stopped moving.

Ai Lijie killed him with the third knife that fell on the ground.

Just as Eilijie stood there blankly, the torches that had been thrown aside began to burn, and the flickering flames rising from the house burned bigger and bigger in front of everyone's eyes.

The two businessmen who survived fled the fire in a panic.

When I arrived at their house after receiving a notice of a fire from a nearby resident, the fire was already so intense that they rushed out of the house.We put out the fire immediately, but the house was still half burned.

We immediately identified the cause of the fire.Based on the evidence of the three knives left at the scene, the charred corpse of the businessman, and the eyewitness testimony of nearby residents, we found two suspected businessmen and arrested them.

Then after questioning, the two finally confide the truth to us.

However, it was too late even to know the truth.

Elise changed the day after the fire.

She began to be reluctant to leave her sister's body.Not only that, but also interact with the corpse as if the sister is still alive.She would feed her, dress her, and cuddle her to sleep.

It's all due to the businessmen of this country and my misjudgment that made poor her lose her mind.

Immediately after the two businessmen confessed everything, what she did spread across the country.Although people felt sorry for her, they also began to fear her and avoid her.

Then, too, she became reluctant to listen to what the inhabitants of the country had to say.Not only that, but even started to avoid us with a frightened expression.

We are at our wit's end. "

Mr. Official said so eloquently.

But the most important part is yet to be seen.

The current Irena sighed and replied: "In other words-although you adopted the poor child, but because of problems later, you wanted to drive her out. But she couldn't listen to you, so you wanted to drive her out. I can't drive you away, and if you force it, you don't know what will happen, so you want to ask me to help me who is not involved in the matter, is that right?"

"..."

Despite being mean, Irena at the time asked him again who responded with silence.

"...Do you want to drive her out of here for this reason?"

Irena was hesitant to accept the commission and go to the half-destroyed home.Irena was very surprised when she saw Ailijie, but Lin Mu just watched quietly, holding Irena's hand to accompany her silently, supporting her decision.

Irena decides to accept the commission.

Before meeting at the roadside stall selling apples, Irena took Lin Shu to conduct an investigation in the country.And people in China all call Ai Lijie this way: "Poor child."

People walking on the street say:

"She's really poor."

"To be bullied like that by bad guys...it's so pitiful."

The housewives living near her home frowned and said, "It's all the fault of the bad guys, she has to live in that kind of place... right?"

"Yeah... how pitiful. That child didn't even dare to touch the bento given to her by the officials."

"Look over there, there are traces of bento on that wall, right? Whether it's money or bento, she throws it on the wall like that every time."

The man at the roadside stall touched his bandaged hand and said:

"She seems to have been stealing apples from here for a while. But I know what happened to her, so I don't mean to blame her-I just think she must be tired of eating only apples, and I want her to eat them." Order other food, or ask her to go to a restaurant to eat. As a result, she suddenly didn't know what to yell... Then, it became like this."

The owner of the bakery also said:

"Ah, Miss Witch. Did you see that too? That child buys bread with that kind of thing every time. I know she is very pitiful—but we are also in business, so I don't know what to do."

On the day when they saw Elise for the first time, Lin Mu and Irena saw a strange thing in the bakery.

A girl in a hood pulls a pile of dead bugs out of her pocket to buy bread.That scene was very weird.

The girl said the dead bugs were "money".

After she spoke a few words to the troubled boss who explained to her in a gentle tone that dead insects cannot buy bread, she ran out of the store with a shocked expression on her face.

Irena who watched this scene was very puzzled.

Then, the next day, I found out that the girl was Ai Lijie.

That's why Irena accepted the commission for Elise.
