94 – Child Growth
“Father.”
“…… I am listening.”
Seeing her father looking at her, which is unusual for her, Orca let out a deep sigh.
Where and what went wrong?
…… Why did she worry about herself, why did she say those words to White?
The reason itself was easily guessed.
But, nonetheless.
To be angry was to be angry.
If you have something to say, you should tell it to yourself. Why are you persecuting White, who has done nothing wrong?
The Orca’s eyes turned cold.
“White only offered me a choice, and it was me, not anyone else, who held his hand.”
So, the choice she made was her own.
With that added, Orca put her serious expression on her face.
It was usually playful, but strangely, it didn’t have a smile like that of a goblin.
Just with a serious look, Orca spat out her words slowly.
“…… Her brother’s enemies paid off. That’s all.”
“… ….”
And that simple word.
However, the emotions contained in it were never as simple as that, and the atmosphere sank heavily in an instant.
At the same time, Marquis Vampir’s expression was stained with sadness and guilt.
He bit his lip lightly with a contorted expression.
“… ….”
…… I didn’t want to know
I wanted to live in a world of sunshine, unrelated to revenge and enemies.
However, it was also something I had to go through as a person who would one day become the head of the Vampir family.
So when she heard the news of Louis Vampir, whom she thought was his own son, no, son.
I was worried.
Should I report this to Orca or not?
I thought about it and thought about it again.
In the end, he made the choice to inform Orca about him.
It was also the work of none other than Orca’s brother, so I thought Orca needed to know as well.
…… And after that, Orca ran out of the island and regretted it.
Shouldn’t have told you.
As much as he was a child who only followed his own brother and cared about it.
I shouldn’t have told you.
“… ….”
…… Fortunately, Orca had safely returned to the imperial palace at the time.
In the process, I also heard that White Qliphoth, the son of the Duke of Qliphort, made a great contribution.
But.
‘That wasn’t the end.’
…… Yeah, it wasn’t over.
I didn’t know what the hell was going on, but White Qliphort was on his way to kill the Demon King, so Orca accompanied him.
I wouldn’t know if it was an ordinary demon king, but on the way to kill the demon king wearing the mask of Louis Vampir.
I couldn’t understand it at all, and I was worried that I might have left a scar on my only daughter.

Wouldn’t she suffer alone with a huge wound in her heart?
Wouldn’t it be swallowed up by sadness, maybe it would be lost in a bad way?
I was so worried and worried.
…… However.
‘…… In the end, you overcame it.’
The expression of Orca who returned after completing his revenge was not that of a person in despair.
Occasionally he would put on a gloomy expression, but at least he didn’t fall into the abyss of despair.
The Marquis of Vampir bit his lip in pain.
…… How could there be such a pathetic father?
I didn’t even know that my child was walking down a dangerous path, and I didn’t even know that such a child had already grown up.
He just felt so incompetent.
He didn’t do anything.
I couldn’t.
That’s the case, but Orca has grown splendidly.
…… If you are grateful, you can say that you are grateful.
“… ….”
Bitter feelings surfaced on the face of the Marquis of Vampir.
At the same time, nostalgia too.
And then, slowly, he begins to open his mouth.
“I’m relieved, Orca.”
“…… Huh?”
The Orca let out a voice mixed with doubt as if it was flustered.
Toward her like that, she smiled, leaving a bit of her distressed expression behind.
“…… And, sorry.”
The Marquis of Vampir weakly tapped Orca on the shoulder.
It was a way to express his own emotions, and Orca didn’t know him either.
“…… What’s wrong, father?”
With a worried look on his face, Orca asked cautiously.
And at the appearance of such a daughter, the Marquis of Vamfir let out a chuckle.
…… How could such a good kid be different?
To my father who is lacking, you still smile like that.
“…… Louie was your brother and at the same time my son.”
Before long, the Marquis of Bampir began to open her mouth in a calm and subdued voice.
Above his expression was bitterness, sadness at the same time, and anger toward the demon lord.
“I should have been with you, but I couldn’t. I have given you a heavy burden.”
“…… Father.”
At that point, could you have felt the complex emotions contained in the words of the Marquis of Vampir?
Orca called out to him with a trembling voice, and the Marquis of Vampir smiled lightly.
As if he didn’t want to cause unnecessary concern.
“…… I’ll just go back Festival, I hope you enjoy it. Orca.”
With that, the Marquis of Vampir turned around.
“… ….”
And he hid the new model in an instant, leaving behind Orca, who was making a subtle expression full of complex emotions in many ways.
The orca’s head is raised.
Looking at his own father, who had turned into a handful of blood and flew away, Orca sighed softly.
…… It was such a heavy sigh, as if it were full of complicated emotions in many ways.
A look of melancholy began to appear in her red eyes.
…… And, there were two people who kept watching her like that.
“…… What are you doing? Don’t go and comfort me.”
“…… Did you tell me, right now?”
“Then, who else is there besides the disciple? Aren’t you stupid?”
“No, that… ….”
While exchanging words, White and Ashera met each other’s eyes once.
White’s pupils trembled once with an uneasy look.
“…… Aha.”
And I wonder if he could have guessed White’s feelings from those movements.
Ashera quietly raised the corner of her mouth with a delighted expression.
“What is it, are you looking at me? Do you think I will be jealous?”
“…… Great.”
White coughs once.
However, he didn’t deny it, and Ashera’s smile grew even thicker.
‘…… Be cute.’
With that thought in mind, Ashera tapped White on the shoulder as if to approve it.
“It’s okay, this time. I’ll take a step back, disciple.”
He honestly liked a girl named Orca, and that’s why he said he’s giving it up.
As Shera added,
“…… Are you okay?”
Nevertheless, White dared to ask one more question.
“Is that so?”
She responded immediately, Ashera frowning at her with a slightly displeased expression.
No, he said that, so why is he asking twice?
“It’s okay, so go and take care of the young lady. If that goes wrong, will the disciple take responsibility?”
“… ….”
Even with Ashera’s words, White’s wrinkled expression did not straighten.
She must have sensed her strangeness in him, and Ashera’s eyes began to take on a subtle light.
“What, are you really thinking of leaving the Lady Orca like that? You’re looking like you’re going to cry right now.”
“No, not that…” ….”
White scratched her cheek in a cold sweat at Ashera’s slightly emotional words.
Continuing, White spat out a word with a slightly shy expression.
“…… You shouldn’t even drop a meteorite on my head just because you’re jealous.”
“… ….”
A word like that would make Ashera’s expression harden in an instant.
Ashera’s eyes cooled down.
“…… Disciple.”
“Yes?”
Ashera pointed the wand at White, who immediately questioned him.
Once, blue mana shimmered at the tip of the wand.
As White shivered, Ashera opened her mouth again.
“…… You keep acting cheeky these days. Do you really want to hold onto me and have a carnal conversation with me?”
“…… !”
White’s expression turned pale in an instant.
And right after that, White shook her head quickly.
“No, Master. How could I be arrogant with a heavenly Master? I will follow as you commanded.”
Saying that, White literally moved away from Ashera at the speed of light.
Recalling the words Ashera had uttered just before, White approached the Orca.
Only then did Ashera let go of her expression and let out a shallow sigh.
“…… Cheeky.”
The eyes of her looking at White were slowly taking on a bloody light.
Once, licking her upper lip with her tongue.
“…… What should I do with that cute disciple who keeps trying to climb?”
She began to choose a means for educating her own disciple.
At the same time, a strange expression appeared on her expression.
