Kaika: Ochita Elf Tsuma

Talia is the daughter of a celebrated elven craftsman whose exceptional artistry is revered across both the elven and human realms. Following in her father's footsteps, she applies her inherited talents to crafting exquisite jewelry, which she regularly sells to a seemingly gentle human merchant she has grown deeply fond of. When Talia's father must depart for the human realm on business, he entrusts the care of their daughter to his wife, Lena. However, the moment the master craftsman leaves, the merchant swiftly discards his benevolent facade to reveal a far darker nature. With Talia's father away for an entire month, the family is left entirely vulnerable to his predatory intentions. Powerless to stop him through force or influence, Lena faces a harrowing dilemma as the merchant sets his sights on her stepdaughter. Determined to shield Talia from the merchant's vile desires at any cost, Lena makes a desperate and heartbreaking choice. Knowing she cannot fight him, she offers her own body in her daughter's place, sacrificing herself to protect the girl she swore to keep safe during her husband's absence.
