Indurasmi who was in Anindhita's arms shed tears because she thought back to the person who used to take care of her. Anindhita then let go of his hug when he saw the girl crying, he thought she was crying in pain because he hugged her so tightly.
"Sorry, I'm sorry if I hugged you too hard. I was just so happy to hear you talk."
"N ... No, I'm not crying because of pain it's just that your hug reminds me of someone."
Anindhita who heard this tilted her head
"Someone??."
Indurasmi nodded
"Yes, he is an old man who sometimes brings me food when I am in the forest."
Anindhita who heard the girl's confession was shocked. How can not a girl who is about a dozen years old has spent her life in the forest.
"How long did you survive in the forest? How did you survive? And what did you eat at that time?"
Anindhita, who was curious, immediately asked Indurasumi many questions. She also felt shocked because of the many questions but, she tried to answer them.

"Etto ..... I started living in the forest when I was seven years old, I ran away from the village because the villagers thought of me as a child who was cursed because of my hair color. So my father beat me sometimes, my mother didn't even think of me as her child, and the villagers always trow me a stone."
Anindhita who heard it was shocked because there were still a small number of people who still believed in the myth that if the hair color of a child who was born did not match the hair color of the parents, the child would be cursed. But this myth has long been disbelieved and only residents in remote villages believe it. At the same time she also felt sad about this child because, at an age that should need the love of his parents, she must feel the bitterness of life.
"But, only Grandpa didn't hate me, he helped me out of the village and taught me how to survive in the forest. Sometimes he visited me to bring food and see how you were and he also told me about his experiences while on an adventure."
"So that old man is a former adventurer, he must be strong, right?"
"I don't know if he is strong or not but, he said that his former rank was B"
Anindhita who heard it was satisfied, surely for humans today, rank B can be said to be strong. An adventurer ranks based on his accomplishment in carrying out missions and how strong he can defeat monsters.
"When I listen to the story I also hope to become a strong adventurer."
"Do you want to be as strong as that grandpa ??"
"Not"
Anindhita, who heard Indurasmi answer, was shocked.
"Why? "
"Because ...."
