So far, there has not been any suspicious behavior from Fiona.

 She was an innocent girl, even though I heard her say and do things.

 Fiona's personality has changed, probably because she has fallen into darkness since she became a deadly sin hero.

 It would be good to let her through the gate that leads to the garden of the half-demons.

 Only pure demons and half-demons can pass through the gate, and pure humans with no demon blood at all are not allowed to pass through.

 There is some argument as to whether elves are considered demons, but both elves and half-elves can pass the gate without any problem.

"Fiona, if you go through this gate, you will be in the garden of half-demons".

"I'm looking forward to it. I wonder what it's like."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   I can't believe that she might fall in the dark in the future.

 I went through the gate.

 It's been a while.

 I could hear birds chirping.

 The sun is gently shining through the trees.

 It's peaceful because no one enters.

 However, there is a guard just in case.

 This is Dominic.

 He does not have horns, but he is human-shaped and has wings.

"Hello, Mister Elias. Have you come to see Lady Leila?'

"Yes, I have. That's part of it. ......"

'And who is this young lady over there?"

"Fiona, the half-elf. She's seeking shelter, and I thought I'd show her to my mother".

"I see. I'm afraid there's a lot of flak against half-elves these days. Oh, sorry."

"No, it's true. Don't worry about it."

'If Lady Leila objects, I will try to persuade her."

"Sister Fiona, I'll be sure to convince my mother, too."

'Thank you, both of you.'

 We waved Dominique's hand and we headed for my mother's place.

 I looked around and saw half-demons and demons living in peace.

 Some of them have the appearance of humans through illusion, while others live their lives not hiding their horns and wings.

 On the way, I met Barbara, a phenix.

 Barbara is the one who gave me the phoenix ring.

 Even though phoenixes are immortal, they were weary of being targeted by humans and asked my mother to protect them.

 In return, she gave me and my mother one phoenix ring for each of us.

 Although she is a phoenix, she has the appearance of a human being through illusionary magic.

 She has red hair that reaches her shoulders, fiery crimson eyes, and a dignified air.

"Hello, Barbara!'

"Elias, it's been a long time. Who is that girl?"

"Fiona. I've come to ask my mother for her shelter. I'm on my way to show her the way".

"I see. I guess the half-elves have a strong influence. I don't know about that, Elias, have you changed your expression? You never spoke respectfully before, and you called Leila "mom", right?"

 What? No, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. No, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

 What's a Mom? Memories from before I was 7 years old are starting to come back to me, but did I just say that? I feel like my face is on fire. If there was a hole, I'd want to get in it.

'Barbara, there must be some kind of mistake. Well then, I'll just move on."

 I whistled and rushed on.

'Hmmm, so that's what it feels like."

 I wasn't fooling around at all.

 I was too embarrassed to look at Fiona, who was following along next to me.

 We came to the front of the mansion where Mother lived.

 I told the guard what was going on and asked him to let me through.

'It's Elias, right? You have come well."

 It is my mother.

 She, too, hides her wings with magic and lives in human shape.

 She has silver hair and red eyes like me.

'Mother, it has been a long time. How are you? Actually, ......"

 I was about to ask for Fiona's shelter when I saw .......

'What? Huh? Huh? Huh? What is it, Elias, how do you talk like that? And didn't you always call me Mom? Are you at an age where you want to act older?"

 My self-esteem is destroyed... !!!!! I'm 18 years old on the inside. !!!!!

 I want to go back home now. ......

'Mother, please put my way of speaking aside for a moment. I need you to take this young lady into custody."

'Well, she is a lovely half-elf girl."

"My name is Fiona. I have been traveling around the world because of the recent situation with half-elves. I have heard rumors of the garden of the half-demon and have come here to ask for your protection. I know it is difficult to shelter a person whose identity is unknown to you, but please, may I ask your permission?"

"I see you have a very formal way of speaking, dear. Don't be so nervous. I can tell by the look in your eyes what kind of person you are. I'm glad to see you here. It's nice to meet you, Fiona. I am Leila, head of the Garden of the Half-Demon."

"Thank you, Leila. I will do my best."

"You don't have to address me so formallu . . There is no one here to hurt you.'

"That's right, Fiona. Be easy".

"Thank you."

 Thank God. Fiona is now safe and sound.

 Now I could go back to the Dietrichs'.

 Sophia is waiting for me at the entrance to the Lost Forest.

"Elias, since you've come all this way, why don't you just take your time? You used to ask me to carry you so much.'

 I'm glad to see you, Mother, but staying here is ruining my self-esteem.

 I must leave as soon as possible.

'Are you leaving, Elias? Aren't you going to live with us?"

 Oh, I didn't tell Fiona, did I?

 I had not told Fiona that I was living in the human realm.

 I met her in the Lost Forest, so she didn't know that I didn't come from the half-demon garden, but from the human world.

"Sister Fiona, I live in the human realm, I have to go home because I have something I have to do. I'm sorry I can't stay with you but my mother and everyone here will protect you. You can live in peace."

"So what you have to do is slay the demon tribe?'

"Oh, ...... sister Fiona, you're against it because you think that humans and demons can join hands, don't you? But even if you disagree, I have to go."

"The ideal is right, but it is also true that there are demon tribe members who do harm to human beings. I think it's important to understand the thoughts of those who are in that position. More than that, I want Elias-kun to be by my side."

"What?"

 What do she meant by that? Why does Fiona want me to be by her side? I have no idea.

"Huuhuuhu~, Elias, you're so popular, you're my boy after all ."

"Shut up, Mother!"

 Then I walked back to the entrance to the half-demon garden, and Fiona came to see me off.

"I'm off, sister Fiona. Take care."

"Elias, we will definitely meet again! I promise!"

"I'll definitely see you again!"

 Fiona waved me off with a buzz.

 She seemed to have tears in her eyes, but I must have been wrong.
