CHAPTER 27 – THE SIBLINGS’ CONVERSATION
“Congratulations, Sis. You finally got the Chief’s approval.”
“Thank you.”
“Are you leaving the village soon?”
Law asked, well aware that rc intended to leave the village to beco an adventurer.
However, based on his expression, he didn’t appear to be overjoyed about it.
“That will depend on Master. I still haven’t finished my training after all. However, she has ntioned that I am nearly finished and that it should be any day now.”
“I see…”
Law said, lost in thought. rc decided to shake his shoulders suddenly in an attempt to get rid of Law’s odd expression.
“You don’t have to seem so sad simply because I’m leaving. Just because I won’t be here doesn’t an I’ll stop being your sister.”
“I-I’m not worried about that, nor am I sad!”
“Really? Your tone says otherwise, though.”
rc said this while holding down Law, who was attempting to escape her hands, and pressing her index finger to his cheek. Law, clearly infuriated, stomped on rc’s foot.
“Ouch!”
“Sis, I’m not stupid! I’m just…”
Following his escape from his sister’s clutches, Law lifted his index finger and said angrily.
“I’m just… I’m just worried about you, Sis. I heard from Father that elves have a hard ti finding a place in human communities. That’s why, despite his work with humans, Father returns every day.”
“Well you’re not wrong…”
“In addition, I’ve never heard of an elf becoming an adventurer. Adventurers, unlike Father, et new people and travel to new places every day, isn’t that right? Wherever you go, you’ll be the talk of the town! You wouldn’t like that, right?”
“Well…”
The expression on Law’s face gradually changed from one of rage to one of concern. rc knew exactly what he was trying to say.
He was simply worried about her.
rc was well aware of everything Law was attempting to convey. She’d never t or heard of an elf adventurer, even in her previous life.
The elves, by nature, rarely left their village, and a huge portion of them spent their comparatively long lives without ever seeing the outside world.
Even if they did leave, no elf would choose to live the life of an adventurer, which necessitated frequent interactions and cooperation with humans.
Ordinary elves despised standing out. This was especially true when they were surrounded by humans.
Well I guess that only applies to elves who haven’t lived as humans.
rc’s consciousness, however, was that of a human, not an elf. Furthermore, it was the consciousness of a renowned adventurer who had traveled to a number of locations without staying in one place for too long, all with the goal of broadening his horizons.
rc has been graciously given a second opportunity. She wanted to go places she hadn’t been before and do things she hadn’t done before.
She’d started studying healing and decided to beco an adventurer solely for that reason.
“Thank you for worrying about , Law. However, I’m well aware of everything you said. Taking all of this into account, I’ve still chosen to leave the village and beco an adventurer.”
Law dropped his head low after hearing his sister say that. He raised his head and spoke in a trembling tone shortly after that.

“Even if it involves abandoning Father, Mother, and ?”
“Who said anything about abandonnt? Didn’t we just discuss this? Even if I go, that doesn’t an I’ll stop being your sister, or that I’ll stop being Father and Mother’s daughter. For starters, didn’t you say you wouldn’t mind it if I leave?”
“I would…”
“What?”
“I would mind it! I don’t want you to leave ho and go sowhere far away! I don’t like it! Of course I wouldn’t like it!”
Law yelled, attracting the attention of the elves in the area; nevertheless, rc seed unconcerned about the others.
She was solely concerned with Law’s eyes, which were filled with tears.
“Law…”
“… for sure. I for sure thought that you wouldn’t be able to do it. I was sure that you wouldn’t be able to leave the village and beco an adventurer. Despite the fact that I’ve watched you overco nurous impossibilities, I was still hoping that you wouldn’t be able to achieve your dream of becoming an adventurer.”
Law said, trying hard not to blink so he wouldn’t cry. rc felt as if sothing was clutching her heart because of his appearance.
“Sis, please don’t. Please don’t beco an adventurer and stay in the village. Let’s just live as a family, Father and Mother, myself and you.”
Law said as he closed in on rc and grabbed her sleeve with both hands. It was as though he was attempting to convey that he would not allow her to leave.
rc closed her eyes for a brief mont and then placed her left hand on her brother’s shoulder.
“Law. Do you rember what we talked about a while ago?”
“What?”
“It was around three years ago. When we discussed it, you were still eight years old, and I was swinging my wooden stick as usual.”
When rc suddenly brought up things from the past, Law blinked in bewildernt. As he did, the tears welling up in his eyes began to fall down.
“You ca to watch train at the ti, which was unusual for you… You actually tried swinging my wooden stick and was close to tumbling, co to think of it. I was quite scared at that ti you know…”
“I-I’ve already forgotten about it! Besides, why are you even bringing it u…”
“At that ti I asked you what you’d do once you beca strong. Do you rember?”
“I do…”
Law nodded slightly, as if he rembered sothing, or perhaps he had known all along but was simply pretending to have forgotten.
“At that ti you didn’t answer . Rather, you couldn’t answer . It was probably because you didn’t know what you wanted to do when you beca strong. Is it the sa now?”
“That’s… I guess so.”
Law was still eleven. He hadn’t discovered a reason to be strong because he had lived in peace.
“I also told you back then that if you beca strong enough, you could do whatever you pleased, even if it ant compromising others. You see, Law, no matter what I don’t want to see you doing that.”
“I won’t do sothing like that!”
“Then could you let go?”
“What?”
“You see, your tears scare far more than a Ghezo Velche. That’s quite unfair of you, don’t you think?”
“…”
Law swallowed the feelings that rose up in his throat when he heard his sister say that. Law dropped his head, still grasping rc’s right sleeve, as if he didn’t care about the tears streaming down his face.
“Y-You’re the unfair one, Sis…”
“Did you say sothing, Law?”
The words Law whispered with his face to the ground, for better or worse, did not reach rc’s ears.
Law then abruptly let go of rc’s sleeve and stepped back two or three steps, lifting his head towards her.

“Fine then! I’m done! Sis, go wherever you want!” Law yelled out just like a kid having lost his temper.
“Law!”
With a troubled expression, rc said to him. When Law heard his sister say that, he glanced at her again, but this ti with a smile hidden behind his tears.
“That’s right, Sis… you can go wherever you want. If I feel like seeing you, I’ll just co by, wherever you may be.”
“… Now that’s more like you.”
In all honesty, it would be impossible for Law to venture outside the village to visit rc with a half-hearted determination.
However, he had just now declared that he would do it. He would go to her, wherever she may be. If such were the case, rc would have no choice but to support her brother. If he would co to et her, then she would wait for him.
You’ve gotten stronger, Law.
rc thought as she watched Law wipe his tears away with his sleeve.
When rc thought about it, she realized that Law was now the sa age as what her self-proclaid rival had been.
