Now that I thought about it, we were somewhat close. Although I tried to act more funny or cute to make him happy to save my ass, most of the time, I was sincere. Caitel was always honest with me as well. He could be annoying at times, but I suppose we were pretty close.
However, since when were we like this?
Our relationship changed without me noticing it… as I thought about it now, it was weird. This was a significant development as I thought about our first relationship.
“…This is somewhat shocking.”
Elyne turned around and checked on me as I murmured, but it was so quiet that she didn’t seem to understand. Either way, I felt like I was struck with a hammer throughout my body because of this truth I didn’t know. I had never thought about it this way.
I couldn’t believe Caitel was kind to me! That was outrageous! I always thought I was abused.
“So this year, I’m seeing Acris.”
“There’s going to be a festival.”
Elyne and Serira were excited to hear that people from other countries would e from abroad and that there would be another big party, but now, they were not trying to pry their ears at me. Something felt a little strange. My heart was pounding so hard that I could hardly breathe.
Yeah, dad was kind towards me, but I always thought of it as the sort of kindness he’d have for a pet.
Like petting a dog when it licked its master and forgiving it when it sometimes nipped back. I was frustrated while thinking about myself, but I indeed felt that way.
However, all of a sudden, he was treating me like his daughter?
“Well, you can think it over more on your own. I’ll take my leave now.”
Dranste disappeared with a sneaky smile. I didn’t have anything left to argue, but if Dranste was right…
No, wait. Hadn’t I already heard something like this? He said he felt bored when I was not with him. He basically confessed his feeling of loneliness when I wasn’t around him…
I had never heard about my significance from another person like that before. In other words, Caitel really needed me right now. To think that dad would need me… maybe I was more precious to Caitel than I imagined?
The Father of this world needed me.
I felt so conflicted that I finally gave up thinking about it.
“Oh, it’s getting so confusing.”
Ugh, whatever. I just had to do something.
