Freedom

[Ellie's P.O.V.]

"Chloe, are you happy now?"

I held the microphone and looked at Chloe seriously. At first, everyone thought that I was just making some small talk, but Chloe looked at me with a dazed expression and didn't answer for a long time. Everyone seemed to have realized something and looked at her.

The village chief, who was being held by Chloe, also realized that the atmosphere had turned a little awkward. He pinched Chloe, and a flash of pain appeared on her face. She forced a smile at me and said, "I'm very happy.

I sneered in my heart and sighed at the absurdity of the scene. "You said that your lifelong pursuit was your mother's memento. If that is worthy of your pursuit your entire life, it means that she is someone who is especially good to you and truly loves you."
