The light falling from the extravagant chandeliers mingled with the gold and silver-colored candelabras.
　The spacious table with its pure white cloths was lined with a generous array of delicacies, including beef, pork, chicken and more. The meat-centered table with beef, pork, and fowl lined up as if it were a dueling city, or perhaps it is typical of Krana.

''Well, don't hesitate to eat it!

　Like a child bragging about a toy, Krana opens her arms in hospitality.
　The wine is instantly recognizable as expensive and the food is lavish.

'You're staying?　So, do you want a Western-style room or a Japanese style room?

　The mansion of a lord who offers you a spacious room is truly the best place to stay.
　And yet.

"........The Last Supper, I guess.......

　For some reason, Floria turns her eyes of suspicion on Nacht.

'You can rest assured, this is the reward I have won.

'Yes, yes!　Nahat threw a huge one at me and forced me to ascend to heaven!　I'm so messed up, body and soul, I'll do anything you say!

　Krana's tail wagging with excitement as she remembered the battle.

'Lord Nacht?　What on earth have you been doing?

　Aisha makes a scary face.
　She's alone and lonely, and she fought with Krana, and this is how she secured a place to stay.

'You were having fun anyway, weren't you?

..........

　With Aisha reading his mind accurately, there was nothing else Nacht could do but shut up.

'You're so close,'

Aren't you jealous?

　Floria looked at Nacht and Aisha, who were having a breathtaking conversation, and muttered to herself.

''Well, if you say you're Nacht-chan's guest, then the Demon King's Army (us) won't mess with you, so you can rest assured.

　Floria's expression was astonished at Clana's words.
　Floria, who had injured the Demon King's Army's leaders and destroyed the streets, would definitely be a criminal. And yet, right now, one of the pinnacle of the Demon King's army was smiling and welcoming him with a smile.

　As if to assess Nacht, Floria's gaze turned to Nacht, as if to assess Nacht who had done this.



Of course, of course, mother-in-law...

Who is it?

　After satiating their hunger, they move into the spacious room Krana has prepared for them, and the four family members sit down.
　Aisha sits on a rampaging shtetl, Nacht collapses his legs, and Floria sits upright with a divine expression on her face.
　The face of Floria, who exudes an air of a different dimension by herself, is so much like a warrior on her way to the battlefield.

''Then let's start with the meeting between me and Aisha--''

　Nacht opened his mouth for only a few minutes.
　Nacht couldn't open his mouth any more.　

...!　Roland, oh, my God, I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you I'm sorry I didn't leave you alone. Hey..........

　When Aisha was in the Demon Continent and the stranger Nacht was next to her, she must have been prepared for it.

　However, when Floria actually heard Roland's last words from Aisha's mouth, she cried like a baby, biting her lip painfully as she spoke words of repentance.

''I'm sorry........for leaving Aisha alone all these years.......for being a bad mother, and I'm sorry.... ...!　But just for now........let me do this.......

　Floria hugs Aisha as tears stream down her cheeks.

　Nacht left Aisha in her room and left the room with Shtel to get a drink.
　Slowly, with an exaggerated amount of time, he returns to his room with a cup of hot tea.

'Shall we continue the conversation tomorrow?'
　Nacht said as she sipped her steamy tea and took a breath.

　Floria, who took Aisha on her lap and hugged her from behind, wiped her bright red, clear eyes and looked straight at Nahat.

'Well no, I hear you. It's about Aisha, of all people. I can't put it off.

　Floria looks at Nacht with eyes that are caged with determination.
　So Nacht spoke with Aisha and Shtel.

　About his journey with Aisha.

　When I told her that I had to fight a dragon out of the blue, Floria was so surprised that she peeled her eyes away and grabbed at Nacht.

''This new journey was a journey to find you, the one and only.

　They had had some fights on the trip, but they quickly made up, and it was a bit of a jealousy that Aisha had made a friend, and that she was close enough to still talk to such a friend so often.

'De-de, de-de, in the village, you saved Shtel!

　They visited a tragic village and welcomed two girls into their family who risked their lives to protect their home.
　From there, it's a family journey for the three of us.
　In addition to that, I'm here now to visit the Demon Continent in an attempt to solve the problem of the elven village.

It's a good thing that you have a lot of things to think about, but - the chieftain, the village, and most importantly, you have really helped my Aisha. Thank you--

　With that, Floria lowered her head.

'You mean you approve of our relationship?'

That's not the same thing as this!

　Nacht smiles bitterly and pats a completely sleepy Shtel, tired of the long story.

''Chief-sama has become a child the curse of the village has been easily lifted and Aisha is being a squire on her own... it's just so awesome. It fits....

"Master Nacht is a mess.

　With that, Aisha slipped out of Floria's hands and sat back down to face her.
　Aisha was unable to open her mouth inside, as if she was unable to get a sense of distance from her mother who had suddenly reunited with her.

　After a faint silence, Aisha took one deep breath and opened her mouth as if she was ready.

''To be honest, Aisha doesn't remember much about her mother... so I don't really feel much, or even know what to call her yet--''

　Aisha must have been holding back her emotions as well.
　In a voice full of confusion, nervousness, and some anger, Aisha says

'I kept wondering why he wasn't there for me when my father was suffering, when Aisha was suffering--'

　Aisha's words, laced with anger, were also expectation.
　She wanted her mother to be there for her.
　She wanted to see the family she had shared her blood with once more.

'-- so tell me. Why did you leave your father's side and stay in this place? Tell me everything, everything.

　Floria, who had a somewhat pained expression on her face, still looked straight into Aisha's eyes and nodded.

'Yes, I'll tell you everything. Why you left Aisha, what you were doing, why you're in the Demon Continent, I'll tell you everything, Aisha.

　Then, slowly, Floria opened her mouth.
