"Elric - what are you doing there?"
The woman, Elric's mother, called after her son who was working in the field behind their house. The woman, named Freeda, had been like this for a week, not letting Elric out of her sight.
Elric straightened his body, feeling very uneasy. How could humans maintain this kind of relationship, it was not beneficial at all and only made him feel depressed.
"I'M HERE!" Elric called to his mother, throwing down the hoe he was using.
"COME!" Freeda told her son Elric to come closer.
The sun was just above them. The weather was neither too cold nor too hot. They were in the middle of autumn. Normally, it was not profitable to work in the fields at this time of year. But for a farmer like Freeda, there was nothing else she could do.
