Chapter 95 The Troubled Girl
We finally defeated the monster that was attacking the village.
"Well, it was mostly my lord's one-man show."
"..."
"Aerial-dono, are you okay?"
Aerial-san, a fellow S-rank adventurer, had a downcast expression.
What's wrong...?
"Are you okay? Want some elixir?"
Aerial-san took the potion from me and handed back the empty bottle.
But her expression remained dark.
"...Sorry. I need some time alone."
She staggered away from me. Oh no...
"This is bad... What should we do, Tai-chan? The potion isn't working! It might be some unknown dangerous illness!"
However, after a moment, Tai-chan said with strange confidence, "It'll be fine."
Will it really be fine...?
"For now, we should listen to what he says and give him some space."
"But... I'm worried about his being so down."
I have to diagnose what kind of illness it is. I want to help. After all, I always causing trouble for Aerial-san, and being taken care of by him.
Sometimes, I want to be useful to Aerial-san!
"It's not a problem. That is a mental illness."
A mental... illness...
"Like trauma?"
"Something similar."
"I see...!"
"Wait, my Lord, don't go with that lively expression."
Tai-chan is hugging me from behind!
Hey, let me go!
"There is a medicine that works for trauma!"
"What kind of medicine?"
"If you take it, all unpleasant memories will be completely shattered and you won't be able to remember them again!"
"It's a strong medicine...! I'll stop that!"
Even though... I think it's better to forget about such trauma.
Tai-chan shakes her head vigorously.
"Unpleasant feelings are a necessary evil."
"Necessary evil...?"
"Sure, it can be tough on your health to carry burdens, but sometimes it can be the driving force to move forward."
Hmm... I kind of understand, I kind of don't.
Oh, but when I was feeling so down after my engagement was called off by Dokuonna, it pushed me to make the choice to leave the village and move forward.
So that's what it means.
"If you say leave him be, then leave him be."
"Yeah... Thanks, Tai-chan."
"No worries, don't sweat it."
"Tai-chan, even though you're just born, your way of thinking is like an old lady!"
Tai-chan's expression suddenly becomes scary.
"It seems like my ancestor's memories are mixed in a bit."
"Right... Tai-chan, are you experiencing ancestral memories?"
"Yes... It seems like along with power, ancestral memories are attached. My thoughts are a bit matured due to that influence."
The way of speaking like an old lady is because of that influence.
"Now, let's do our work."
"Right. We need to find the ones controlling that faceless monster."
