"Akame Takuma is my father. Strictly speaking, he is my adoptive father." After my aunt came back, she said, "We don't know where he is."

"When Inazuma was locked up, my brother and I were younger than you. We had no source of income on Yae Island, so we came here to make a living. We were captured by ronin and made laborers for them. Later, we were rescued by our father at the beach of Konda Village."

"He was forging swords in the backyard by himself. Seeing that we were homeless, he took us in. He taught my brother the sword-making technique. We have farmland and are close to the sea, so we have no worries about food. We also forge weapons to sell, so we live a good life."

"After the Eye Hunting Order was launched, my father was forcibly confiscated because he had the Eye of God. It was as if no one recognized him. One morning, when I came back from the fields, my father was gone."

"We went to the magistrate's office to report the missing persons, but at that time the shogunate army and the rebels were fighting, and there were too many missing persons and deaths, so there was no follow-up."

"My brother couldn't stand this policy, so he chose to join the resistance army on Kaiji Island and forge weapons for them. Later, the Eye Hunting Order was lifted, and he stayed there to work because of his meritorious service."

"My father was never found, and I felt too lonely at home. There was no one capable enough on Haizhi Island, so I went on board the Southern Cross to cook. The people on the boat were very nice, like family, so I kept working there."

"As for Qingqing, the shogunate army and the resistance army were fighting in the area of ​​the nameless fort on Yagyu Island, and there were heavy casualties in that battle. My brother found Qingqing when he was cleaning up the battlefield. She fainted in a pool of blood, and in her hand she was holding a sword that was longer than her. He thought that the sword might have protected Qingqing, so he took both the person and the sword back to Kaiji Island. He couldn't find her relatives, so my brother thought that since our father took us in, we could also help others, so he went through the procedures to keep her by his side."

It’s a calm passage, but only those who have experienced it know the hardships involved.

Qingqing was squatting in a corner at this time, chatting with a newly opened soft lantern bell, which was a new flower she had never seen before.

The four of them looked at her as she carefully introduced the members of her family.

"Qingqing's presence has brought laughter back to this little courtyard." Auntie looked pleased. "My brother thought the sword was Qingqing's amulet, so he brought it back and built a sword tomb in his own field, right under the violet melon tree."

"Qingqing is well taken care of. Everyone on the ship likes her very much. She is like the sun, making people feel hopeful." Wan Ye also had a painful past. After listening to other people's stories, he sighed, "Everyone's life is very similar. When you are in despair, they will always give you hope."

"The Eye Hunting Order ended, but the Eye of God hasn't been returned?" Heidi asked.

My aunt shook her head. "After the release order was issued, it was as if nothing had happened. We later put a notice on the case at the detective agency, but there has been no news so far."

"The policies from above are passed down layer by layer, but when it comes to implementation, they are not so perfect." Wan Ye sighed, "As long as there is something valuable, there will be people who have evil intentions. These confiscated Eyes of God may be secretly sold by someone, or the officials may not be responsible for returning them one by one. There are all kinds of possibilities. Most of the time, it is a mess."

"Well, although I am in the Enforcement Office, I have to admit that there is always darkness under the light, otherwise there would be no need for the Enforcement Office." Xiaolu spread his hands.

"Ah, a word of policy, when implemented on an individual, the price is really heavy..." Heidi sighed, "Then where will Akame Takuma go?"

"Because he has been missing for more than a year, it is a bit difficult to investigate. I searched in the places where the swordsmith might go, but there is no news yet. I will visit him later. Please give me some time." Xiaolu briefly described the progress.

"Is there anything we can do to help? Strength lies in numbers." Heidi asked. After all, it was her commission and she was also helping her aunt find her father, so she had to do her part.

"Well, then I won't be polite. I'll give you some interview questionnaires and you can go to a few places to ask." Xiaolu knew that they were eager to find someone, so he agreed.

"I really don't know what to say. Thank you for your trouble." The aunt stood up and thanked them. Looking at the three young men actively trying to find their father, she was so moved that she burst into tears.

"It was only after Xiao Haige encountered trouble on the boat that Heidi found out the purpose of his trip. It was only after Qingqing bravely stepped forward to identify him that everyone gathered together. Aunt, your almost doting care for us these days has given me a long-lost feeling of home. Helping out at home is not a bother at all." Wan Ye comforted.

"I'm from the enforcement office. There was no follow-up to your previous report, so I'm helping the office complete a case. It's my job." Xiaolu said.

"Yes, Auntie is so good to us, good things will come to good people. This is what we call fate that brings us together here." Heidi tilted her head beside her Auntie.

"Oh, how come you guys are so nice? Then I will use my strengths to make you a delicious meal." The aunt wiped her tears, touched Heidi's little face, and said with emotion, "If Qingqing grows up to be like you, I will feel relieved."

"What do you mean by that? I'm running so far. You won't be able to bear to leave when the time comes." Heidi started to perform, imitating her aunt's tone, "Oh, why is Qingqing still in Fontaine? When will the little girl go back to Inazuma? I'm so anxious."

"You are a very naughty little girl." Heidi's performance made her aunt laugh. She hugged her and said jokingly, "Do you mean you want to live in Inazuma permanently?"

"I don't mean that..."

"Inazuma is very good, there are a lot of good guys. I think...Manye is very good." Aunt said with a smile.

"Aunt, I'm not kidding." Heidi blushed and buried her head in her aunt's arms.

"Why are you shy? Everyone can see that Wan Ye is a good person. He is capable, good-looking, comes from a famous family, and leads an interesting life. These are all his advantages." The aunt smiled from ear to ear. Heidi can also be shy sometimes.

Heidi listened to these compliments with a smile on her face. She secretly turned her head and glanced at Wanye. Everything was indeed good.

"Aunt, I'm not that good. Don't force yourself to praise me." Wan Ye said in a low voice. His face turned red like a maple leaf. He lowered his head slightly and pretended to glance at Heidi casually.

How could the two people's little actions be hidden from the detective standing by, but the detective didn't say anything and just continued to observe with interest.

Just as the two strands of hair lit up slightly, the deer laughed out loud. What were these two guys thinking at this moment!

He took over his aunt's words, "Heidi, Wan Ye and I have been friends for many years. I guarantee that he is definitely a good person. People who like poetry are all graceful and like to hide their thoughts. If you like him, remember to tell him."

After saying that, he winked at Wan Ye. "Brother, that's all I can do to help you!"

Wan Ye pulled back the guy who wanted to join in the fun, took a cup of tea, and put it to his mouth, "You are thirsty, drink it quickly."
