Fiona pov

 My name is Fiona.

 I am a half elf, half human

 One of the most common problems for half-elves is that it is difficult to settle down, and I was no exception to this situation.

 My father went back to the human realm, and my mother took me back to the elven village where we used to live.

 The presence of a human presence in my mind immediately revealed that I was a half-elf.

 Half-elves are not only hated by humans, but also by elves, so we had no place in the village.

 And my mother raised me in a remote place to protect me.

 We lived a poverty-stricken life, but we were happy as a parent and daughter.

 That happiness did not last long.

 My mother died of illness.

 I had to move from place to place to survive.

 I was trying to live strongly in spite of the harsh public criticism of half-elves.

 However, as I lived through these harsh days, I began to feel unpleasant feelings inside me.

 I want to destroy the humans that persecuted me and my mother.

 Because the demon tribe harmed humans, the impression of half-elves who did nothing wrong became worse, and we became the target of persecution.

 I want to destroy such demons as well.

 I didn't want to believe that such feelings would come up in me.

 I was shaking off the bad emotions as best I could, murmuring my mother's teaching, "People and demons can reach out to each other."

 One day, I heard a rumor about a garden of half demons.

 I heard that there was a place for half-demons and peaceful demons to live.

 Holding on to a glimmer of hope, I headed for the Garden of the Half-Demons.

 To get to the Garden of the Half-Demons, I had to pass through a lost forest that was off limits to visitors.

 I didn't care that it was off-limits; I had to go on.

 I haven't eaten for days.

 I felt like I was going to collapse from fatigue and hunger.

 The Lost Forest was a labyrinth with complicated paths, and I didn't know how to proceed.

 Is this the end? I had no strength. I fell down on the grass.

 I felt the presence of someone.

 This was no time to be fainting.

"Who is that?!"

 The voice belonged to a lovely boy.

 Why would a boy be in the Lost Forest? But now was not the time to worry about that.

 Despite his cute appearance, the boy had a mature air about him.

 And he had an air of kindness that could not be hidden.

 I appeared in front of him and told him truthfully that I was on my way to the garden of the half-demon and that I would like to be sheltered there.

 To my surprise, he told me that the boy was the son of the head of the Garden of the Half-Demon.

 His name was Elias-kun.

 I thought he was totally human.

 No, it looks like it, but has tremendous magical power.

 Hunger and fatigue had dulled my ability to sense danger.

 Normally, I would have been the first to run away if I sensed this much magical power.

 Elias-kun looked at me and began to cry.

 What happened? Elias-kun seemed to have regained his emotions and took me to the garden of the half-demon.

 The garden of the half-demon was truly a place where half-demons and demon tribe lived.

 The atmosphere was peaceful.

 The people living here talked to me kindly.

 I want to live here too.

 But I have to get permission from the owner.

 I wonder what kind of person Elias' mother is. I hope she is a kind person.

 Elias's mother, Lady Leila, was an incomparably beautiful woman.

 And yet, she was very friendly.

 She easily accepted me, even though she did not know my background well.

 And she was very close to Elias-kun.

 She reminded me of my mother, and I was about to cry, but I tried to hold back.

 Thanks to Elias and Leila, I was relieved to know that everything was going to be all right, but then a new discovery was made.

 Elias-kun does not live here, but in the human realm.

 I think Elias-kun and Leila-sama were greeting each other again, but I was too nervous and tired to think about whether they would accept me or not at that time.

 I was so nervous and exhausted that I was not sure if they would accept me here and if everything would be all right, but a desire was born in my heart.

 I want to stay with Elias-kun.

 I couldn't believe it.

 I wanted more than just being saved from a situation where I was about to give up on life, even though there was nothing wrong with that.

 Do I follow Elias? No, I cannot do that.

 It has just been decided that I will be accepted in the garden of the half demon.

 All I can do now is to make a promise to meet him again.

 In my heart, as I see Elias-kun off, the desire to destroy humans and demons has completely disappeared.

 There is someone in the world who accepts me.

 My heart was filled with warm feeling.
