Sword - Rudeus (saved the girl and taught her to get stronger)
Fran - Sylphy ( the girl who's orphaned after her parents died, gain strength to survive after being saved by the above)
(grand)mamanda - Elinalise ( the 'grandma' who's in tears after reuniting with the granddaughter thought lost)
:v Yeah in case of Elinalise there's actual blood relation, but screw 'only blood-relation count for families'
So Amanda knew Fran's parents, that's why she was so attached to Fran.
I wonder why she hadn't told Fran, she would have liked to know something more about her parents.
so that's why amanda is so clingy to fran, I haven't read this in the novel, maybe I miss it,
now I understand why she would always came running when fran in trouble
Sigh, what an easy tearjerker, we won't fall for it author-san, it's too obvious, too simple.
Now, if you don't mind me, I'll keep looking for a way out of this swimming pool.
