"I knew it, I knew it..." the girl said with a sob, "I've never really blamed them, because it's all my fault for having these abominable eyes. How wonderful it would be if I didn't have these demon eyes."
"So I really do have biological parents, those people who said I am a demon's child, that can't be true... I should have realized earlier, I'm really foolish. Would they still be willing to see me? Can you tell them that I've never hated them at all."
"I only envy those of my peers who have parents. More than once, I've thought how nice it would be if I too had parents waiting for me at home..."
"You will."
The wanderer replied hoarsely.
"Thank you, Mr. Alte," the girl replied through tears, "I don't know how to thank you properly."
The wanderer silently watched the girl for a while before speaking, "I don't have much time left, I need to go. If there's a chance next time, I'll come to see you again, and when Yoshude returns, we'll leave with you together."
