Chương 779: I want to

It seems like she really can't escape from her fate any longer. Lila-chan, she's so sorry that you had to go through that. Although it looked like she arrived just on time before anything happened, the experience must have frightened Lila.

Ren protected this child, didn't he? She is so thankful..

"Mother, are you crying?"

"I'm sorry, I am getting emotional. I know nothing happened, but... it must have been frightening.." 

"Mother, um, don't cry! Look, I am cheerful."

Such a silly child. What is she doing trying to smile after that painful situation? It was like this that time too when Lila chased after her and brought her back home. Back then, Sumire thought how strong her daughter was. She went through so much pain in her absence, and yet that strength and determination.

Who does that child take after?

'Yuhi and I were both weak. We acted strong on the outside, but inside we fell apart bit by bit every day.'
