    Of course, Hans hadn’t nned to send ra alone.


    He had intended to divide the team into a group to guard the fortress and a group to follow Cluna.


    He thought it was a perfect n.


    But what was this? It ended up being just ra and Hans chasing after her.


    The rest of the members refused to go along.


    They said there must be some circumstance behind this incident.


    So, their opinion was that it was right for as few people as possible to go.


    But then, what about emergency situations?


    The answer to that question was…


    “The Commander is there!”


    “Th-That’s right! If the Commander goes along, it will surely be helpful!”


    “I’ll act as the deputymander.”


    “…If Teacher wishes it… I have no choice but to endure…”


    Wasn’t their trust level too high?


    Damn it!


    Of course, ra wasn’t weak, but she was rtively weakerpared to the other members.


    Right?


    Moreover, I was even weaker than ra!!


    Damn it!!!!


    However, he couldn’t say that outright.


    How could he say that fact right next to the person in question?


    Moreover, ra was giving off a very serious vibe, unlike her usual self.


    Even Ruby was encouraging ra, which showed how bad it was, but how could I oppose?


    That action would be no different from pouring dozens of cans of oil on a burning house.


    In the end, I had to go along with just ra and me chasing after Cluna, crying while eating mustard.


    Damn it.


    “I found Mother’s traces. Let’s hurry and follow.”


    “Let’s hurry.”


    The hopeful observation was that tracking would take some time, and by then ra might have calmed her anger, but of course, that didn’t happen.


    ra had learned a lot from Cluna.


    Although not as much as her mother, ra also had considerable skills, including tracking techniques.


    Moreover, although Cluna had erased her traces as she was in a hurry, ra was able to find and track Cluna’s traces without much difficulty.


    I couldn’t see anything even if I looked.


    ra moved almost non-stop.


    As a result, I was dying trying to keep up behind her.


    In the end, I barely managed to keep up by using time stop.


    “Wait a moment…”


    “Even at this moment, Mother is… No, no. I shouldn’t think like that.”


    “Uh…”


    “What’s wrong, Commander?”


    “Let’s go as fast as possible.”


    I wanted to rest in the middle because it was too hard, but how could I suggest resting in such an anxious situation?


    Especially when it was about the safety of someone’s mother.


    Thanks to that, ra and I were able to reach Lamiart Forest in just 3 days.


    The Lamiart Forest was a vast forest located just before entering the Alex Mountains in the central region.


    Considering it usually took more than two weeks on horseback from Lionheart Fortress to Lamiart Forest, ra and I were moving at an incredible speed.


    Of course, this was possible thanks to ra knowing shortcuts, allowing us to go straight without detours.


    Soon night fell, and ra and I sat around a campfire.


    “Here’s some simple food I brought.”


    “Sorry, I didn’t think.”


    “Eat a little. That way you’ll have strength to follow tomorrow.”


    “…Thank you.”


    ra had her legs folded in her arms.


    She looked like a child unable to bear the anxiety.


    For a while, ra and I sat quietly without saying anything.


    “I didn’t know there was a race that could keep up with elves in the forest.”


    Perhaps unable to bear the long silence, ra slowly opened her mouth while chewing her food.


    I thought it was amazing aswell.


    I really thought I was going to die in the middle, damn it.


    It was only thanks to the time stop ability and diligent training in between that I could keep up.


    If it weren’t for both, I wouldn’t have been able to catch up with ra at all.


    It was that difficult.


    “I wonder if I’mcking in many thingspared to other elves after all?”


    “?”


    Huh, wait a minute.


    Is this suddenly self-me time?


    I looked at ra in surprise.


    However, ra had her head bowed low.


    I instinctively sensed things going wrong.


    “I always had overflowing confidence. Looking back, there were only failures.”


    “Wait a moment.”


    “If it were another elf, could the Commander have kept up? Was I caught up to because it was me?”


    “ra.”


    “Someone like me is really hopeless after all. That’s why Mother abandoned me and left.”


    “ra!!”


    “…!!!”


    Just before she fell further into the pit of self-me, I grabbed ra’s shoulders and shook her.


    Only then did ra barelye to her senses.


    There were tears in her eyes.


    I managed to stop her, but what more should I say here?


    I couldn’t justfort her with empty words.


    If I made a mistake and touched a sore spot or gave her the impression of empty constion, in the worst case, it could worsen our rtionship, but I couldn’t ponder for long either.


    In a short time, squeezing out my thoughts as much as possible, I let the most usible words flow from my mouth.


    “Nothing is certain yet.”


    “Then why did Mother leave me behind? Isn’t it because I’m not trustworthy?”


    “Then let me ask you the opposite. How can you be so sure about that?”


    “Don’t change the subject. I don’t need such pathetic constion!”


    A more intense reaction than expected came back.


    Damn, I didn’t mean to provoke her like this.


    I desperately racked my brain.


    Right now, the priority was to calm ra down somehow.


    So, instead of answering, I hugged ra.


    I was worried she might reject it, but fortunately she didn’t push me away at least.


    ra seemed flustered by the unexpected situation.


    “I’m certain. Your mother isn’t ignoring you. Rather, she loves you.”


    “That’s…”


    “Think about when she first joined the Royal Knights. How was it then?”


    “…”


    “Because she was worried about you. Because she loves you. Didn’t shee all the way here from the forest herself?”


    What was important now wasn’t telling the truth.


    It was important to somehow make ra shake off her negative thoughts.


    So, I needed to say the best things possible.


    Even if those words weren’t rted to the current situation.


    ra, who had been listening quietly in my arms, quietly hugged my back.


    I was startled for a moment because she put in too much strength.


    The soft touch of elven arms… hell no, I barely held back a scream because she hugged too tightly.


    W-Wait a moment. If you hug me too tightly, I can’t breathe…!


    “I became a knight because I wanted to be acknowledged by Mother.”


    “I see.”


    “So, I absolutely can’t show any weakness.”


    “More than that, your hands…”


    “So, just let me be like this for a moment. Please.”


    Damn it.


    In the end, I managed to calm ra down at the sacrifice of my waist.


    As time passed and her emotions seemed to have settled, ra was blushing with embarrassment.


    I barely got up, clutching my aching waist.


    Night had already passed and morning was approaching, but my waist that had been strainedst night still hurt.


    Would I be able to keep up with ra today?


    As I was worrying about this in advance, ra, who had cleaned up the campfire, stood up.


    I barely stood up while hiding my pain.


    Looking at me, ra slowly opened her mouth.


    “Let’s chase after her right away.”


    “Don’t we need to rush?”


    “Yeah, we still have time.”


    “That’s a relief then.”


    If we had to run recklessly like yesterday, I felt like my waist would really break.


    This was at least fortunate in the midst of misfortune.


    Then, ra, who had been making eye contact with me, suddenly looked away in surprise.


    “What’s wrong?”


    “N-Nothing! I’m just going to wash my face for a moment!”


    “Take your timeing back.”


    Please.


    Because my waist is killing me.


    ◇◇◇◆◇◇◇


    At first, ra had only thought Hans was an amazing person.


    After all, he had easily subdued her and Ruby’sbined attack.


    Rather, she had felt frustrated.


    She also had something like an inferiorityplex… But it wasn’t a bad feeling.


    It was strange.


    When they were in the Royal Knights, she and Ruby had beenpetitive rivals, but even though she was surpassed by a human, not even another race, she found herself acknowledging him.


    Even when her mother came looking for her, even when they faced the demons again, she strangely didn’t feel afraid.


    She had faith that with the Commander, they could somehow win.


    Before she knew it, she was following behind the Commander.


    Looking at that unwavering back, she overcame her past fears and was able toe this far, and she thought it was the same now.


    Cold water wet her face.


    Her face, which had been burning hot, cooled down a little.


    However, that was only a temporary measure.


    When she thought about going back and facing the Commander again, her face unknowingly turned red.


    She didn’t know why this was suddenly happening.


    Could it be… No, no way.


    It couldn’t be.
