[Tarsha Cherno]

Although most of these

contraptions aren't worth

showing off, we've put a lot

of work in inventing these

machines. So, of course,

they give us pride~

Maybe all these little

projects might not be

that impressive, but I like

to think of them as stepping

stones to future achievements.

[

Excuse me, ma'am,

but you have a scar

on your shoulder. Is

that from an accident?

Oh, that's an old

injury that happened

years ago. I suppose

I was quite the trouble

maker to the people

who raised me...

You see, I lost my parents

when I was very young. It

was only later when I realized

I was raised by foster parents.

I learned that my real mother

died a long time ago...

As for my father, no

one knows if he's dead

or alive. I tried my best

to my foster parents happy,

but I ended up being too rebellious and giving them grief.

I finally left home and

studied mechanics. I met

my husband in school and

it was the greatest thing that

ever happened to me~

By the way, I heard

your daughter singing

some sort of Miner's Song.

Did you teach her that?

[Theo Cherno]

I don't understand

why little Elle likes

such a rowdy, man song.

This is all your fault, Tarsha!

Oh~hohohoho~

I was too young to

remember it clearly,

but I'm sure my real

father loved that song.

I barely recall that

he used to sing it while

cleaning our old house.

Yes, I don't remember what

he looked like, but he must

have been a miner at one time.

A miner...?

(Wait, that crewman,

Kain Himere! He was

a miner who lost his

daughter! Just maybe...)

...!

Tarsha...

Your father

may still be alive!

...What?

I've got to go check

something now, but

hopefully I'll be back

soon with good news!

Tarsha, I know someone

who might be your father!

Just wait for me and hopefully

I'll bring back good news soon!

Oh, welcome back~

So were you able to

bring back good news?

Why, yes.

Speaking of which,

allow me to... check

something first...

Uh oh...

Nothing's there!

H-how rude!

Touching another

man's wife...?!

You found

a burn mark on

her hand.

That's it!

Tarsha, your

father's name is

Kain Himere and he's

working on the Airship

as one of the crewmen.

He misses you

a lot and hopes

that you can forgive

him... Someday.

Are...

Are you serious?

My father's alive!

Oh thank god! Thank

you so much, adventurer!

...........

So that means, my

real name would be

Tarsha Himere Cherno.

Oh, you're a godsend!

I'll never forget what you've

done for me! I must repay

you somehow! But all I know

is mechanical engineering...

Oh, I know~

If you have any

broken equipment,

I can fix it with this

Expert Repairman. It's

one of our best inventions!

I must go and see

my real father soon!

I've missed him for years!

Thank you again for all

you've done for my family~

Oh, and before you

go, would you go see

Elle again? She wanted to

talk to you for some reason.

I've been feeling great

after all you've done for

us. Once again, I'd like to

thank you, kind adventurer.

I'm sorry, but

we're pretty busy.

Please excuse us~
