g, poor families will always go hungry.”

“Yes.
You would not be alive today if your Serio-ojisan and the others had not accepted us.”

Ethan was also depressed.

“Serio, can I tell him something about Alesia? Ethan is old enough to keep secrets.
We don’t want him to say anything out in the open again.”

My father paused for a moment before saying.
“Is that all right? Alesia.”

He requests my permission.

Everyone is staring at me.

They don’t know anything until Ethan’s out there saying something.
I think it’s time.

“Okay.
I’m sure Ethan will keep a secret.”

Oto-san then told him everything from when I was a baby.

“If Alesia’s power becomes known, she won’t be able to live normally.
Someone with authority would take her away.
So, can you keep it a secret? Ethan.”

“Serio-ojisan…are you sure you want to live here? The neighbors will wonder why it started raining as soon as Alesia moved in!”

“Don’t worry, it rains everywhere else.
That is why people are less suspicious here.
Alesia has been sleeping in the wagon twice a week since we moved here.”

Ethan says, “Hmm?” with a puzzled expression on his face.

“Wouldn’t it be suspicious if it just rained every night here? That’s why Alesia spends two nights a week sleeping in a covered wagon.
Your father and your Serio-ojisan take turns driving the wagons around the capital for a few hours at night or before dawn.”

“…Alesia, you poor thing.”

I know I’m making it hard for them by taking away some of their time.
They cherish the work of the farmers.
My rain helps the farm.
I have thought about leaving home, but I just can’t.
It is too hard for me to leave my good parents.
My parents would suffer if I left home at the age of nine.

“That’s why I’m going to the library to look it up.
I still don’t know how it happened.”

With a clatter, Ethan rises from his chair and declares angrily.

“I can also protect Alesia and keep her secret!”

You’re adorable, Ethan.

“So I was thinking about getting Hakeem to work here.
Hakeem only works during the day, so he will not be able to see the rain.
Oto-san and the others, you say you are short on staff, but you never hire anyone, do you? Because of me, right?”

“Alesia…”

My previous life’s memories flood back to me, and I can’t help but cry.

“Oto-san, please listen to me.
It pains me to pretend that I don’t know what Hakeem is going through in order to protect myself! I understand why Oto-san and the others are concerned about me.
But I can’t take it anymore.
only during the day.
Can’t he work during the day?

“Okay.
All right, don’t cry.
Alesia’s such a good girl.”

My father, who was unaware of my previous life, patted me on the back.

(Oto-san, I’m not the good girl you think I am…)

Although I wanted to help others, I was tired of causing problems for the adults around me.

I apologize for everything.
But it’s difficult to know that I could help Hakeem if I wanted to, but I can’t.

Even though I am an adult at heart, I finally cried.
