285. Two Children
“Keying! Kiiiiing!”
Soho twists his body around to escape from the pressure of pouring mana.
Looking at her hair fluttering in all directions, I realized once again that she was truly a strange being.
[Ah.]
Stella holds both hands tightly and slowly bows her head in prayer. She was feeling guilty even though she had no responsibility.
[What are you going to do?]
On the other hand, the dark spirit was looking at Soho with a cold gaze.
Soho had already turned into an enemy within the Dark Spirit Temple, not because he was a human but then turned into a monster, but because he attacked me for my life.
[Kill him. This child probably didn’t know that either.]
[Senior… ….]
[Stella, I know you are especially weak towards children, but this can’t be helped. Until just now, this kid was trying to kill Deius.]
[…] ….]
[What if I just leave it here? I heard that he was a child who grew up in a village of man-eaters. If she became a youkai of her own will, then this child will eventually follow the same path, right?]
A single word from the dark spirit being struck sharply.
[I know what the fate of the monsters was, and I also know what kind of person you are. Actually this…… It is nothing less than the request and will of a girl named Soho.]
She could not bear the thought of being abandoned by those she thought were her parents and close friends.
But, I don’t have the courage to commit suicide.
You could have been asking me something like this.
I want you to kill me.
Then it occurred to me that the vision of the corpse hanging from the ceiling might have been a reflection of Soho’s wishes.
[Deius.]
A dark spirit urging you on.
She was the type of person who thought it would be better to end things quickly.
“I haven’t heard anything yet.”
I felt it was a bit early to decide something right now.
But perhaps I was frustrated, the dark spirit let out an exclamation and asked.
[Are you serious? The child is speaking with his whole body like this? Now you know that there are words in this world that are difficult to say.]
“However, there are some issues that should not be judged based on guesswork. I am… ….”
I sighed as I looked down at Soho whimpering on the floor.
“I need to hear it from your own mouth, Soho.”
[It will be dangerous. This kid has been following you with the intention of killing you from the beginning!]
“That’s why they only want to kill me. “This child has not yet had any man’s blood on his hands.”
Taking the life of such a child was a cruel choice. The dark spirit slaps his forehead and takes a step back, saying he will eventually follow my words.
[So what are you going to do?]
The dark spirit asked while pouting and crossing his arms. I don’t have any grand plans, but I needed to get Soho’s acting up first.
“You are human, Soho.”
“Keying! Kiiiiing!”
A girl glaring at me with resentment in her eyes, drool dripping between her sharp fangs.
But unfortunately, I only tell the truth.
“It is quite difficult for a former human to have a strong wish and become a youkai, but living with youkai since you were a child must have had an influence on you.”
Just as Lanhardt had traveled through countless battlefields to become a vampire.
Soho was also able to change into this form because he had been around monsters since childhood.
In other words.
“The monsters you saw probably didn’t look like that.”
Soho said that he could not escape the scope of what he knew as a monster.
Boom!
The girl hits the floor with her forehead as if in pain. The sight of her self-harming actually seemed like a signal crying out for help.
“The monsters you considered family weren’t beasts, were they?”
That’s why.
The current appearance of Soho is smoke.
It is a type of complaint made because one is not ready to have a conversation.
I tried to put a little more pressure on Soho.
“Please save me! “Please save me!”
A man’s voice coming from outside the window. Even the rescue signal sounded a bit weak, so my gaze went out the window without me realizing it.
It seemed like there was a commotion in front of the Verdi mansion.
“Okay, for now, you two can watch Soho. “It might be easier to say it to you rather than to me.”
[If you do anything strange, I will kill you.]
[I will be watching closely.]

Leave it to the dark spirit and Stella and head out. As she was going out of the mansion, she ran into Deia, who was also going outside when she heard the commotion.
“Please save me! Please! Please yooooo!”
When I opened the front door and went outside, there was Finden Eye and a man with a haggard appearance.
Putting down Sevilla, who was in charge of her, to the side for a moment, Findenai grabbed the man by the collar and swung her fist.
Boo! Wow! Wow!
That was also quite intense.
Unlike the usual Finden Eye, the sight of him mechanically waving his fists with no expression felt somewhat eerie.
“Finden Eye!”
“Hey! What’s the matter!”
When Deia and I called out to her at the same time, Findenai’s gaze turned this way.
Even though he knew he had to end it, he insisted on giving him one more punch, which seemed to have gone into the counter so much that the man ended up with nosebleeds dripping from both of his nostrils and white spots on his eyes.
He had fainted.
“Whoa.”
Finden Eye had an expression on her face that she didn’t even want to give an explanation, but she couldn’t let it go like this.
Because I know she wouldn’t hit me for no reason.
But it wasn’t Finden Eye, but an elastic sound that burst out from behind her.
“Mr. Goben?!”
Illuania with a surprised expression pops out from among the workers who came down after hearing the commotion.
She is embarrassed and urgent, so she picks up Sebia and looks at the man called Goben.
“Goben?”
“You don’t know either?”
In response to Deia’s question, she nods her head. He was a man I had never seen before.
Considering that Illuania knows her, it is presumed that she was a customer she met when she worked at a bar and bar.
“No way…” ….”
I unconsciously let out a light breath and looked at Goben and Illuania at the same time.
Seville, who was held in Iluania’s arms, naturally caught her eye.
“During the three months when the master first left for Lovern Academy… ….”
As her dizzying past comes to mind, Iluania hugs her child even more strongly.
“He is the guest who visited me the most.”
In one word.
“He is the man with the highest probability of being Sevilla’s father.”
* * *
My office.
Me, Deia, and Findenai were currently sitting around the guest table talking.
“Huh, indeed.”
Deia scratches her head, saying it’s complicated. I put my legs up on the table as if I was feeling stuffy.
“It’s not polite, get down.”
“Tsk.”
When I tell her to lower her legs, Deia grumbles but slowly lowers her legs.
I heard that siblings fight often, but she seemed to know why.
“But are you glad it’s not really your child?”
In her frustration, Deia continues her story, holding a teacup as if she is thirsty.
“I honestly thought Sebia could be your daughter. “In the past, Deius spent a lot of time hanging out with Iluania.”
“I heard you licked my ass too.”
“Yes, that’s right. If you look at it that way, Iluania is also an extreme job. “How can you suck that bastard?”
I don’t know why I suddenly found myself being criticized by two women.
Anyway, Deia clicked her tongue and brought her teacup to her mouth.
“Puuup!”
He burst out loud.
Because I already knew, I used mana as a barrier so it didn’t jump out at all.
“Week! Wow! What is this?!”
“This is tea brewed by Findenai.”
“No, it tastes good, but you’re making such a fuss.”
Despite what they say, there is no tea in Findenai’s teacup.
At this level, it was done on purpose.
Without hiding her displeasure, Deia glares at Finden Eye.
“I thought you could make tea?”
“Boil it only for the owner.”
“…… “This is information I really didn’t want to hear.”
She sighs and looks at her deia.
“You can tell when you smell her scent, right?”
“No, I thought he was washing a rag in the room with hot water. “Did you really think this was the smell coming from the car?”
Despite Deia’s harsh words, Findeneye just giggles. Her reaction was somewhat different from the last time she heard from me.
It looks like I made tea this time just to mess with him.
“Let’s rewind the story.”
“Why don’t you tell me even though you know? “They also put up a wall.”
“Let’s rewind the story.”
“You bastard, if I had a gun, I would have shot you right away.”
Ignore Deia and start the story again.
Before the work in Soho was properly completed, a man named Goben appeared and made the situation chaotic.
Illuania and Goben are currently talking with Darius in attendance, but it was actually unclear what the outcome would be.
“What is there to worry about? Can’t I just tell them to turn off? “Iluania and Seville are doing well now.”
This is what she says, wiping her dirty mouth with a handkerchief. Since she doesn’t really care about her family or the opposite s*x, she was able to talk quite easily.
“Well, that won’t be easy.”
It was surprisingly bitter and it was Finden Eye who responded.
“From Iluania’s personal perspective, I guess I can tell him to f*ck off. But it has Seville on it.”
The princess of Illuania who can still only babble. A child born because she wanted to shower love on him.
“When children grow up, being a single parent is quite a concern. “Especially as she gets older and interacts with other kids, she’ll start asking why Sebia doesn’t have her dad?”
“… ….”
“The problem does not end there. “If Iluania’s past becomes known, she won’t be good for Seville’s education.”
She slept with a random man while working at a warehouse and gave birth to Sebia.
It will not have a very good influence on Seville, who will gradually grow.
“Do you know well?”
Deia looks at Findeneye with a surprised expression. I also had no idea that FindenEye would be so knowledgeable in this area.
With a wry smile upon our gaze, Finden Eye crossed her legs.
“I had a friend who ran a daycare center. “There were quite a few kids who belonged to the scrap metal dealer.”
“Ah.”
Was there a story of your own that you couldn’t help but know? If she said any more, she would only be hurting the Finden child.
“But did you hit someone who could be your child’s father like that?”
That too in front of Seville.
“I couldn’t stand it. Isn’t it strange that he comes to me out of the blue and says he’s Sevilla’s father, and that he tolerates that? “In fact, I’m thankful that I’m glad I didn’t take out her axe.”
“But it’s not clear that he’s Sevilla’s father. “The odds are just high.”
Because we can’t do genetic testing here. There is no way to confirm who Sevilla’s father is.
But as she said before, it didn’t matter.
“Whether he is the real father is not important to Iluania. “The important thing is that Sevilla needs someone like her father.”
Furthermore, as a coachman, I tend to do my own work. It meant that he was not just an ugly man who drank alcohol or hard drugs.
“The question is, why did you come here now?”
That part needed to be made clearer.
“In the end, it is Iluania’s decision.”
What is the right direction for Seville, who is still young?
That would be up to her, her mother, to decide.
“I have to wait anyway, so I’ll go to Soho.”
Two people looking up at me as I wake up.
After telling me to stay still and not follow, I went out of the room.
I had to wait until their conversation was over, so I planned to go to Soho in the meantime.
“What a coincidence.”
I thought the timing of the two events coincided somewhat cruelly.
It may sound a bit cruel, but.
There is a girl who has already gone through a similar situation.
To say it’s ugly isn’t enough.
A girl who grew up with strange parents.
“Soho and Seville.”
It was a pity.
Both girls.
Please don’t become a tool of your parents’ greed. I just hoped that the child’s life would not be ruined.
