“Well, that’s how it happened. This is the end of the story!”

Illisha chuckled and put down the glass she was holding.

“But why did you suddenly ask about the past?”

“I just have something to think about”

I answered Illysha’s question briefly and bowed my head.

Their stories that didn’t appear in the game

The reason I asked about their past was because I was wondering if the forced event that happened to Illisha might be related to La Boille.

There are only two pieces of information I know.

The only thing that happened was that Ilicia quits her life as an adventurer due to a forced event and that LaBoille dies.

“Tch, I thought it was a story about love blossoming while going through various hardships together…”

“Unfortunately, it’s not that sweet of a story, ma’am?”

I quietly watched her smiling and talking to Elisias.

In the original game episode, Illisha suddenly goes missing due to a forced event.

“…Why are you looking at me like that?”

Without answering the question, I continued my thoughts and then turned my attention to Elisias.

Elisias, who was worried about her, investigated and found out that Illisha failed a personal request and quit being an adventurer.

“It’s a little embarrassing to look at it with such serious eyes…”

I raised my head and looked at LaBoille’s empty seat next to Illisha.

A few days later, Elisias receives a letter from Ilicia, who was thought to be missing.

The letter said, “My younger brother who followed me has lost his life, and I am no longer able to be an adventurer, so I don’t think I can help you.”

In the world of erotic games, I can guess what it means to be incapable of becoming an adventurer, but that’s not the point.

“Do you know why the little boy acts like that?”

“Well…sometimes he makes that kind of facial expression when he’s thinking about something”

Block out whispering noises, close your eyes, and focus on your thoughts.

When I first got the emergency escape crystal, I was thinking of turning on a forced event by using the emergency escape crystal to force her to return safely if she falls into danger while proceeding with the request due to the information that [Illisha failed her personal quest].

To use that method, you had to find out about the failed personal request.

I had to know when the mandatory event called a personal request started in order to hand over the emergency escape crystal, so I asked about the past to see if the personal request had anything to do with LaBoille, who was not present, but the result was a failure.

“What are you doing?”

I felt a strange sensation on my head, so I lifted my head up.

“Ah, I got caught.”

“I stopped you!”

Ilicia hides herself behind the embarrassed Elisias, who is shaking his arms in surprise, and laughs.

“What did you do?”

I put my hand to my head and touched it here and there as I kept feeling a strange sensation.

Illisha laughs brightly at my question.

“No, no matter how much I touched him, he didn’t react, so I tied up his bushy hair and tidied it up”

“Still, it looks like it suits you a little bit well… Fuha!”

Elisias looked at me and suppressed laughter, then turned his head and burst out laughing.

For some reason, I felt the bangs were a bit cool. Was this because of this?

Looking at those two playing childish pranks, I let go of my heavy heart.

At least the fact that Illisha is here means that La Boil is also safe since it was before the forced event occurred.

“That’s right, I heard there is a next request after this? I don’t know when La Boille will come back, but until then, we can continue to help”

As I spoke while rearranging my hair, Ilicia sat down again and looked a little worried.

“So…I want to get help from you…especially you little one…”

“To me?”

When I asked while tilting my head, Illisha turned her head as if she had resigned herself to something.

“No, think of it as just talking to yourself… It’s not okay to put more pressure on yourself than this…”

Elisias held the hand of Illisha, who was speaking alone, and Illisha looked a little surprised.

“Ilicha Even though it is only a short time, aren’t we comrades who helped each other? If it is your business, it is also our business, so please feel free to tell us.”

Ilicia glanced at me and I nodded with an expression that said I was okay.

“Actually… Rayla is also a victim of a minor crime.”

“Huh?? What?”

I wasn’t the only one surprised.

Elisias, who was next to him, was startled and got up from the table. Illisha looked around and made Elisias sit down again as if to calm him down.

Illisha’s words reminded me of her previous reaction.

[Ha… It’s a weak medicine… Is it a weak medicine again?…]

I guess he said that because he remembered Leila, who was involved in a petty crime.

“The man said, I want you to find the people who did that to Layla and take revenge on them”

Illisha clenched her fists and bit her lip.

“I didn’t know that stupidly kind man would ask for something like that… Even if you don’t say anything, he will find you and destroy you.”

I felt something strange about her speaking with a bitter smile.

Since I still wasn’t sure about her curiosity, I decided to listen to her until the end.

“So, I tried to look for traces of them on my own, and even went to the black market like I heard last time… but there wasn’t much success. So…”

“That’s why you said you wanted to get help from me.”

Illisha nods her head quietly.

I think he was trying to ask me for a favor because I know information related to aphrodisiacs and I know about DH.

Of course, I wanted to help, but I only knew the guy’s name, so my information was limited, and there was no guarantee that Layla would be connected to the elixir that DH made, so I couldn’t speak up first.

“If I had been told to become an adventurer back then, I wouldn’t have secretly run out into the forest alone…”

What Ilicia was telling was a simple story.

The girl who wanted to become an adventurer developed a rebellious spirit due to opposition from her father and the older sister she thought was her real sister. She recklessly headed into the forest to test her strength, but was involved in a petty crime and suffered misfortune.

When I heard those words, I suddenly felt a strange sense of déjà vu.

“Or at least, if I had been able to teach Layla how to become stronger back then, or at least how to protect herself…”

Contrary to her cheerful and cheerful appearance every day, she had a sad expression.

I didn’t know what to say, so I just exchanged glances with Elisias and remained silent. Illisha sighed and then smiled at Elisias.

“Elysias, I wonder if you have seen Leila in you.”

Illisha’s expression as she looked at Elisias with a cold smile made me realize that she had given her such education by throwing away her own body.

Elisias, an innocent girl who doesn’t know anything about the world, doesn’t want something bad to happen to her like her beloved younger brother. That would be similar to what I feel.

“Ilisha, I know your situation is pitiful, but…”

I spat out the words without any hesitation.

I also wanted to help in some way, thanks to the thoughts I felt for Elisias, but there was no way I could do it.

“Please!”

Illisha’s voice was mixed with crying as she closed her eyes and laid her head on the table.

“Whatever you want, Harry, I will give it to you, be it money or even my body…so…even the slightest clue is fine…let me know at least one thing you know!”

She, who was full of laughter, bursts into tears and shouts my name, not as a little girl but as a false cat.

“Harry…aren’t you a seeker who knows everything…can’t you help her?”

Even if you whisper and ask me with pitiful eyes, there is nothing I can answer.

“Please allow me to finish the first favor…the request…that uncle entrusted to me…”

Ilicia’s words made me once again feel the same sense of wonder I had felt while talking to her just moments ago.

“Wait, wait a minute…I’ve been wondering this for a while now, but what you’re saying is that it’s a personal…request he’s asking you for?”

When I asked again, wondering if anything, Illisha stopped crying and raised her head.

“Yes…it’s a personal request…”

“Then where was Leila mistreated?”

“Forest…”

What the woman who was almost harmed by thieves said to the vicious man who seemed to be the leader

[Oh well~ If you work hard for a long time, things pile up and it’s really hard…]

The puzzle begins to solve.

“Illisha…”

“Yes…”

I have to hold back my laughter when I see her crying, but the laughter comes out.

“You said? You’re giving me everything?”

“Harry…?”

“Little boy…?”
