I finally understood many things about Barbara's mother's behavior that I didn't understand before.
Andrew thought for a moment and comforted, "It's not your fault; the tragedy was ultimately caused by your brother-in-law's magic scroll. Even if you hadn't asked your older sister to help you buy pastries, that scroll would have exploded eventually."
But Barbara shook her head.
A moment later, she said, "These days, I've been walking and chatting with mom every day. Mom only told me that over the years since my older sister's death, my second sister kept persuading her, saying that the accident wasn't my fault. But my mom didn't listen. Later, my second sister always asked me to help her buy something, take a detour to bring some magic materials, or local specialties."
Andrew laughed, "Your second sister is really thoughtful. Is she trying to prove to your mom that it's not a problem about taking a detour to buy things?"
