Three days after the call, I'm finally free from mofo hell and normal? Once I was able to live, Amber wanted to go out into town, so I decided to go with her.
　We walked out of the inn and down the main street. Let's go to the market for now. Because there are all kinds of people.
　The market had people selling various items and stalls. Various things are sold from food to sundries, clothing to antiques. I walked through the crowds of people looking at the items to see if I could find a bargain.

It's pretty crowded.
We're in the center of town. If you need something cheap, people will come here.

　Amber and I talk to each other in a voice that others can't hear. As a summoner and a summoner, we can communicate with each other to a certain extent. If I was talking to a tiger in the street, people would think I was crazy.
　Even though it's in the form of a child, Ember is a tiger. It still stands out in its own way. But everyone looked at it from a distance and reacted as much as they saw something unusual, not overreacting. Occasionally, children and girls would come to pat it on the head.
　In the presence of other people's eyes, he was supposed to pretend to be a tiger cub, so when Ember returned a 'gawgaw', the girls would happily pat him on the head some more. Ember was also quite annoyed. It's a disaster after being freed from our ladies....
　But there are so many people.... We have to avoid getting separated. Well, even if I get separated from Amber, I can communicate with her and she'll find me easily, so I'll be fine.
　Even so, it looked like Amber was having a hard time following me around in the crowd. It's a good idea to pick her up and hold her in your arms because it would be a pity if she were to be kicked. It's a very good idea to have a good time with them.
　As I was walking along, Amber, who was being held, suddenly looked up and turned her head towards the crowd to her right.

〈? Lord, isn't that Yaedono over there?
What?

　At the sudden voice that came out of the blue, I followed Amber's gaze and saw Yae crouched at the end of the street, out of the way of the passersby. In front of Yae was a sobbing girl of about four years old, and she seemed to be trying her best to calm her down.

'What are you doing? Yae.
'Lord Winterfellas? Is Amber with you, that it is?

　Yae shows some relief as soon as she sees our faces. What is it? It's rare to see Yae look like this.

''...This girl?''
It seems to be a lost child, that it is.

　You're lost. It's easy to get lost in this crowd, right? I thought to myself as I looked around. It's not easy to find your parents in this situation.

What's your name?
Ugh....whew...mama....

　It's not good. They say it's more than just a name. I have to stop crying to ask them anything.

I have been asking you about your name and where you come from, but you haven't answered any of my questions, that I have.

　Yae sighs with a troubled look on her face. Hmm, I'll have to get some information out of her somehow.
　I brought the amber I was holding in my arms in front of the girl. The girl freaks out for a moment, then her face contorts again and she almost starts to cry. I ordered Amber in my mind.

'What's your name?'

　Ember speaks to the girl. The girl, who was about to start crying, blinks and looks at the tiger cub in front of her. She blinks repeatedly and has a scowl on her face.

'What's your name?'

"Well, it's called a rim.

　The girl gives a small nod in response to Amber's question. Okay, Amber induction successful. That would be stunned if the tiger cub started talking. Well, let's do some research.

'Search: rim family.'

　Activate the attributeless magic "Search". If there's a target within a 50-meter radius, we should be able to tell. ........No response. Is there anyone nearby?

What do you think?
No. At least not within 50 meters.

　Hmmm, what to do. Do you want me to walk with you while you activate "search"? The downside of "search" is that it's not very broad.
　That...wait a minute. I can't determine that it's "Rim's family" just by looking at a normal person. Is it a given that this search won't catch me by any chance? The difficulty with this magic is that you can't judge whether it's not trapped or not really there. I don't know how to judge.
　I'm sure you could have searched for the poison. I don't think I could have known it was poisonous, but if you licked it, you would have known it was poisonous, and that's why you fell for it? Even when it was vanilla, I was stuck with it because I could smell it and determine that it was vanilla...or something like that.
　It's true that even a human being can't make a decision if he or she is lied to, "It's not true.
　Let's get some more information.

"Who was here with you?
Mommy.
"Your mother... what color did your mother wear?
"Uh ... in green.

　I let Amber ask her questions and pull out a series of information about Rim's mother from Rim. Long brown hair, green clothes, silver bangles, blue eyes, not fat. Okay, I've got a picture in my mind. If someone fits these criteria, I can determine that they might be "Rim's mother" from their appearance. Again.

Search: rim's mother.

　It's not responding. Oh, dear.

What's the matter?

　He shook his head at Yae's question. It's still a problem that the search range is so narrow. It would be helpful if the range was as wide as the map app on a smart phone. I'm not going to be able to get a "search" app or something like that.


　.........wait a minute.


　Maps app and "search". Let's just........try it out. I take out my phone.

"Enchantment: Search.

　I enchanted the magic of Search into the Maps app on my phone. The light emitted from my fingertips disappears into the screen of my phone. Now, what do you think?
　I fired up the maps app and projected a map of my surroundings. The entire reflet, not just the market, is in the range of the screen, and as I type in 'Rim's mother', a single pin drops on the screen, pointing to it's location.

'Okay! Success!

　I suddenly screamed, and Rim, who held Amber in his arms, freaked out again for a moment, but he didn't seem to start crying.
　I stand up and lightly stroke Rim's head.

'Shall we go to your mother?'



Okaasan!
Rim!

　It's an indescribable feeling, watching a father and son embrace each other after a few hours of absence. Lim's mother was at the town's guardhouse. It's a sort of police station. All I had to do was to say "I'm a lost child" and bring her to the police station from the beginning. Well, it's good that we had an unexpected harvest.
　Yae and I said goodbye to her mother, who bowed and waved goodbye to Lim and left.

I'm sure you'll be able to help me out.
"? It doesn't matter, that it doesn't matter...?

　I went straight into Ael's coffee shop, Parento, with Yae in tow, and after ordering, I asked Yae a lot of questions.
　I asked about Yae's house. From the exterior to the construction of the rooms to the interior of the dojo, I asked her in detail. I asked him about his dog, the cherry blossom tree in the garden, the scratches on the pillars from his brother's back, and so on.
　When I'm done, I search for Yae's House on the map app. Then a pin dropped on a part of Yisheng, east of the continent.
　It expands. The Oed of Yishen. East of that........Hashiba, huh?

'Is the place where Yae's parents' house is located the Oedo Hashiba? There's a shrine nearby.
Yes, that I am, but how do you know that, that I do?

　Yae looks at me with a surprised face. Okay, it seems that we succeeded. This search app can find things on a global scale. It's very useful. But you need to know more about the target of your search to narrow down your search.
　When I explained to Yae, she asked me to try out the search for her brother. I asked for Yae's brother's features, but it seemed he had a scar on his cheek, which made the search easier.

'You're in the dojo. He's moving around in detail, so maybe he's in a match.
It's just like you, that it is.

　Yae smiles as she looks at the phone that is handed to her.

"Your brother is usually calm, but when it comes to the matter of the sword, that is, he can't help but become obsessed with it. He really likes the sword so much that he forgets to eat.

　Yae happily talks about her brother. She looked at the pin moving on the screen with a nostalgic look in her eyes.

'Yae loves your brother, doesn't she?'
''That's right. I love my strong, kind and good-natured brother, that I do.

　You can tell by looking at it. You can see how much Yae cares for her brother.

''Come to think of it, Fuyao-dono is vaguely like your brother, that he is. The calmness and the good nature of the people.
I'm flattered that you look like my favorite brother.

　I drink a glass of water with a bitter smile. I'm not as strong with a sword as my brother, though. I guess that's what my personality is, I guess.

''That's right, my favorite...''

　And that's where Yae's mumbling stops. When she looked up and met my eyes, her face turned bright red and she suddenly began to panic.

''No, it's not, that it's not! I wanted to say that Fuyao-dono and your brother are similar, not that they love each other or anything like that, not that they dislike each other, but.......he is family, that he is family! I love you like family..... So, that's why it's different, that it's not!

　Yae who is talking all at once. I don't know why he's so upset. I think it's good that you like your brother.

''Sorry for the wait!''

　When a lot of snacks (most of which Yae asked for) were brought there, Yae began to eat them silently and gingerly without making eye contact with me, with a bright red face. You still eat a lot.....
　Maybe I was embarrassed to say that I liked my brother. Well, I'll keep my suspicions of bra-consciousness to myself.
