Chapter two hundred fifty-one: Vacation Again (three)
Entering the territory while imagining Adelia dressed in a maid outfit, I could see with my own eyes that quite a lot had changed. Even before the start of the semester, our territory was already developing, but now it had become something akin to a city.
Especially noticeable were the humans who had come with support from the Minerva Empire, as well as the frequent appearances of demons. I heard that they came with diplomatic support from Helium. Given that Xenon's birthplace, where an exhibition is scheduled every year, it was somewhat natural for Helium to dispatch personnel.
With skills rivaling dwarves and using magic as if it were a tool, demons constructed buildings at an extraordinary pace. It was as if the laborers from my favorite game in a past life were working diligently.
Let me ask you one thing. How does this work?
Oh, this? Well, you see
However, it didn't mean that humans only regarded demons with admiration. Humans, having built civilizations second only to elves, were not inferior to others in architectural technology, even if they couldn't use magic.
Just look at the imperial palace and the scenery of the capital of the Minerva Empire not far away. Although their magical abilities might be lacking, humans have achieved a valuable civilization over centuries.
Due to this, excluding magic, humans were ahead in technological prowess. It felt strange to see a human who seemed like a supervisor passing on know-how to demons.
But is hanging a pen on the ear the same everywhere, regardless of time and place?
People who oversee both humans and demons seem to have pens hanging from their ears. And not just any pen, but a magic pen like the one I use. It seems like a gift from the demon side, perhaps suggesting the supervisors use a pen instead of a quill. It may appear like nothing, but it can easily serve as evidence of harmony.
Just a few years ago, humans despised demons, and now they are working together to build structures in our territory. Xenon's Biography has truly changed the world.
Moreover, demons were only guests at exhibitions until a year ago. I remember meeting a demon who was dating a human woman at that time, and Cecily was impressed by their relationship.
Returning to the present, we were now collectively building a cultural city. The fact that demons are collaborating with other races to achieve something is already changing the world.
Before the semester, it wasn't like this. The influence of the exhibition is indeed remarkable.
Yeah.
Adelia also seemed to share similar sentiments as she looked around the territory with a curious gaze.
The cultural city is more like a city for tourism. Various creations inspired by Xenon's Biography were displayed throughout the streets, providing diverse attractions.
For artists who value their honor, having many people view their works was advantageous. Therefore, the Michelle territory was like a haven for artists.
Thanks to the artists, the territory has attracted more tourists and residents, creating a mutually beneficial relationship.
There's a temple here.
It's similar to the one in the capital.
And lastly, the temple. As reported in the newspaper, a colossal temple stood proudly in the center of the territory, emitting an imposing presence. It boasted overwhelming grandeur similar to the Luminous Temple in the capital, making it impossible to pass by without notice, right in the heart of the territory.
Our territory was nothing but vast fields, a rural land, so we were fortunate. If it were another city, there might not have been a place to build a temple.
Then, over there
I shifted my gaze to the empty space across the Luminous Temple. Due to the nature of the temple, regulations dictate that shops or regular buildings should not be erected nearby. If Luminous were to descend upon the newly established temple, its sanctity would spread to the surroundings, and other buildings would absorb that sanctity.
Who would dare build a structure next to a temple that exudes both majesty and solemnity at the same time? However, across from the Luminous Temple, the foundation for construction was steadily being laid.
Naturally
Is Moras temple going to be erected there?
Probably.
Amazing. The twin sibling gods temple in one territory. It truly shows that the Minerva Empire is deliberately pushing and supporting this.
As Adelia mentioned, across from the Luminous Temple, a Moras Temple was scheduled to be built, supported by Helium. It seems that the construction has temporarily paused due to the upcoming exhibition.
Even if they are demons, completing the temple within a week is somewhat unreasonable. Building a structure for the deity they worship is something that cannot be done haphazardly and is likely not acceptable. So, for now, they will enjoy the exhibition, and it seems that the construction will proceed after the exhibition is over. Perhaps it will be completed within the vacation period.
Then, will our cutie be in charge of the territory where the temples of Luminous and Mora are erected?
I don't know. My brother might take on the role in the middle. He said he would stay in the military, but you know, people's plans don't always work out. Maybe he'll receive it after completing his military service.
Originally, the succession of the family headship can be decided directly by the family head, but there is an implicit understanding that the eldest son inherits the position. The eldest son is usually the oldest and has experienced various tasks alongside the father, so he is thought to have more wisdom.
Although there are cases where a daughter or a younger son inherits the family headship, it is not common. Noble women usually marry, and younger sons mostly pursue their own affairs.
Of course, if I reveal my true identity, the story may change. If my father appoints me as the family head, Dave will likely be in a similar position. Perhaps influenced by my father, our family dislikes politics, excluding my mother. They might all gladly pass it over to me.
And I, dreaming of becoming a historian, should delay it as much as possible. At least I want to travel the world.
Well, if that's your wish, there's nothing we can do. Lord Hawk might feel a bit sad when he hears about it.
For now, wouldn't it be better for father to handle the work? Being a former knight commander, he must have considerable political influence.
The Navy Knights focus mainly on combat as they are close to the special forces, but my father is a figure who has risen to the position of commander. If we were to compare it to my past life, he's not just a captain, but a colonel, and moreover, a combatant who directly engages in field battles.
Why are there some crazy colonels who, even occasionally, refuse to be promoted to field commanders? Roughly speaking, it can be seen as such a position. It's unreasonable to say that such a person lacks political power. If they make a mistake, they could cut off supplies and more from higher-ups, but political power is not a choice but a necessity.
The reason my father dislikes politics might be rooted in this. Especially in my father's generation, the barbarians were rampant, and supplies were essential, not to mention the shortage of personnel.
So for now, my father will continue to handle it. What do I know about the economy? Meeting higher-ups is much better done by my father.
That's true.
Having such conversations, I passed through the lively territory and moved my steps towards the mansion. During the move to the territory, some of the residents recognized me and greeted me warmly. I also smiled and greeted them kindly. Occasionally, a naive child would run up, but their parents sternly restrained them.
Adelia also stopped chatting momentarily and assumed a vigilant posture as the number of people increased, preparing to draw her sword at any moment.
The people in our territory are all kind-hearted individuals, and there was no need for caution. However, her attitude of fulfilling her duties resonated with me, so I just let it be.
Before long, we passed through the bustling town and arrived at the entrance of the mansion. The guards at the gate greeted me briefly upon seeing my face and opened the door.
Returning home is always a refreshing and joyful experience. My family, whom I longed to see, always welcomed me with sunny smiles.
The true essence of home is something that only those who have been away from their families for a long time can feel. There is a reason why those who live in distant places often suffer from homesickness.
I miss them so much.
Furthermore, the anticipation grew as a new family member was born. According to the letter from my mother, it was a small and lovely younger sister with features similar to my father, possessing the same reddish-brown hair.
Moreover, although it was a distant future event, Lily is expected to grow into a beautiful and charming woman. Last time when Mora playfully reversed my gender, she said Lily would be very similar to that.
In the worlds age standards, she was too young to be my younger sister but more like a daughter. If I were to go out with Lily right now, people would probably mistake her for my child.
Nevertheless, shes cute, so its okay. With expectations in my heart, I passed through the wide-open gate. As I entered the mansion after the gate, the face I longed to see came into view.
Welcome back, Isaac.
Despite having gone through late childbirth, my mother, Anna, welcomed me with a kindness and beauty that rivaled that of a maiden. It seemed she had already received news of my arrival, as she greeted me warmly as soon as I opened the door.
I momentarily appreciated her welcoming face, only to discover a bundle nestled in her arms. Something was stirring inside, and my mother, in a familiar posture, held it comfortably.
Hello, Mother. By the way, what are you holding right now?
Hehe.
When I cautiously inquired, my mother smiled gently and approached me slowly. I, too, approached with anticipation. Adelia, who was by my side, followed with a curious expression. Subsequently, my mother extended the bundle she was holding securely.
And inside it
UuUuu.
It was Lily, my newly born sister, with golden eyes wide open. Although only two months old, she emitted an indescribable charm with her rich red hair and large pupils. Cuteness, charm, and finally, an overwhelming loveliness that melted the heart. Just looking at her made a bright smile naturally appear.
Squee
Lily alternated her gaze between me and Adelia, then started sucking on her own fingers. They say babies start doing that around two months old, and it seems to be true.
By the way, how can someone be so adorable? Just like they say, a healthy tree shows its vitality from its leaves, and Lilys beauty was no exception.
Can she support her neck on her own yet?
Not yet. But shes working hard now, so she might be able to do it on her own soon.
Gyaoo~
While my mother and I were talking, Lily cooed and made a cute sound. Of course, both Adelia and I couldnt help but laugh at that sound.
Ah, this really feels like healing. I almost touched Lilys face without washing my hands, but managed to stop myself just in time.
I should wash my hands first. And while Im at it, I should greet Dad in the study.
Ill wash my hands first.
Sure. Mom will be waiting in the room. Dame Cross, make sure to wash up and come back.
Yes, I understand.
Ah, alright.
Before leaving, I didnt forget to look at Lily, who was cooing. No, I looked at her two or three times before finally taking my steps.
I want to touch those chubby cheeks and feel those tiny hands as soon as possible. Of course, I have to hold that little body in my arms.
Above all, what I most want to do is present her my index finger. More precisely, Lily grabbing my index finger.
How ecstatic it would be if Lily held my finger tightly with her small hands. I can imagine how my face looks even without looking in the mirror. It will undoubtedly become a bit awkward.
Actually, it was a wish I wanted to try if I ever had a niece. In my past life, I couldnt fulfill it because I was an orphaned child with no relatives, but I was able to achieve it after being reborn.
After parting ways with Adelia and heading to the bedroom to wash my hands, I unexpectedly met someone. The reason for the construction of the Luminous Temple in our territory, Cardinal Kate.
She was wearing the characteristic tight nuns habit instead of armor. Her body was already outstanding, and now, unlike before, there was even a strange aura.
In addition, the scent of lilac that stung my nose. The lilac scent from my body became familiar, but not so for Kates.
Originally, lilac scent didnt come from her. However, after just a few months of parting, she was emitting a strong fragrance.
What on earth happened during that time? Along with that, her holy aura was greatly emanating, so just meeting her made my mind go slightly blank.
Hello, Sir Isaac. Its been a while.
After drawing the holy symbol, Kate bowed her head gracefully and greeted me warmly. I quickly regained my composure in response to her greeting.
Oh, yes. Hello, Ms. Kate. Its been a while. Have you been well?
Thanks to the protection of Luminous and your presence, Ive been doing well.
The fanatical aspect was there from the beginning, so lets assume thats the case, but I dont understand the meaning of the latter part. What does it matter that I exist?
With that meaning, Kate blinked her eyes and opened her mouth with a compassionate smile.
Thanks to the advice you gave me, I was able to eradicate all the parasites that had taken root in Xavier. Im truly grateful.
Oh, well
Is she talking about the spoiler incident? I scratched the back of my neck, avoiding eye contact. Theres not much to say about that.
I have learned it through Luminous, and I was going to release it through my book anyway. So, I indirectly provided advice using a proverb from my past life, allowing Kate to figure out the meaning on her own.
Kate just uncovered the meaning of that proverb and solved the problem on her own.
Anyway, lets move on. Even though Kates gaze was a bit uncomfortable, its more important to address what Im curious about first.
By the way, why is Miss Kate here in our mansion?
Lord Michelle has been gracious. He said I could stay at the mansion for a while.
I see.
Well, considering that she even erected a temple, this level of generosity was probably standard.
Then, is Miss Kate participating in the exhibition too?
Yes. To prevent this sacred land from being defiled by annoying devil worshippers, I will pray to Luminous and bestow blessings on the entire land. That way, the sacred festival can proceed even more safely.
A response came containing Kates intensity and fanatical aspect simultaneously. I was barely able to suppress the slight dizziness that came after hearing that.
Anyway, if blessings were bestowed as she claims, the exhibition will proceed much more safely. I dont know what misconception she has, but Ill just overlook it for now since I dont know what that misconception is.
In my heart, Id like to talk more with Kate, but Lily takes precedence now. With that in mind, I concluded the conversation and greeted her.
Well, I hope its an enjoyable exhibition. I have a brief matter to attend to, so Ill go first. Alright. Im always ready, so feel free to come by whenever you have time.
She drew the symbol of respect once again and spoke to me with reverence.
The light that will save the world.
What kind of misconception is she having, exactly?
Chapter two hundred fifty-two: Vacation Again (four)
Chapter two hundred fifty-two: Vacation Again (four)
After the unexpected encounter with Kate, I returned to my room to clean my hands. Returning to my room instead of the dormitory was a refreshing change, but meeting Lily was the priority. Therefore, after washing my hands, which I usually didnt spend more than thirty seconds on, meticulously for over three minutes, I walked straight to the lounge where Lily was waiting.
Perhaps Adelia would not only change her clothes but also thoroughly clean herself, so it might take a while. Until then, it seemed like a good idea to have a conversation with my mother.
I'm back.
You're back?
Upon arriving at the lounge, mother greeted me. However, Lily, who was there just a moment ago, was nowhere to be seen.
Wondering where she might be, I glanced around, and suddenly, a white crib that hadnt been visible before caught my eye.
It turned out Lily was there. As I took a step towards it, Lily, with wide-open eyes, was wriggling inside the crib.
My little sister, always cute no matter when. From the red hair to the golden eyes, she inherited everything.
Gently, I extended my index finger towards Lily's wide-open hands.
Swish-
Lily, with a coo, reached out her hand and grabbed the tip of my finger with her tiny hand.
Why are you so small? The size difference is expected between a grown adult and a newborn baby, but it was enough to be harmful to the heart.
Ooo.
The cooing, once again harmful to the heart, was an added bonus. I smiled at Lily's determined grip on my hand, as if she wouldnt let go no matter what.
I had finally achieved the wish I had longed for so much. All that remained was for Lily to call me oppa (older brother).
At what age do children typically start speaking? It varies from person to person, but generally, I've heard that most children start talking around the age of three. Some say they have a moment when they awaken to language.
It might be said that we have to wait at least three more years, but babies naturally grow up in the blink of an eye. Before you know it, they'll start crawling, and with another blink, they'll be walking energetically.
I slowly withdrew the hand that had been tightly held by Lily, looking into her golden eyes. As I did so, Lily's hand, which had been holding mine, naturally loosened, and she brought it to her mouth.
Her golden eyes, filled with intense curiosity, were looking at me intently. It seemed like Father and Mother were used to seeing our faces frequently, but I was not.
Mother, smiling softly at the two of us, spoke affectionately to Lily.
Lily, do you see? This is your second brother, Isaac. He's also a world-famous Xenons Biography writer.
Aaa.
Whether she understood or not, she responded with a coo. Hearing that sound, Mother and I both burst into laughter.
Then, surprisingly, Lily also smiled brightly. It seems to be true that babies have a habit of smiling when they see their parents' smiles. Going through the expected heartache was just part of the process. The pure smile of a baby seems to have an incredible power, almost enough to melt one's heart rather than causing pain.
Imagine being born and finding out your older brother is a famous Xenons Biography writer. Wonder how your mom feels about it.
Yeah, really.
I deeply empathized with the mother's words. In my past life, having a famous novel is one thing, but being born into a family where someone has reached the pinnacle in that field is a whole other. However, surprisingly, most people don't show it off much. It might be partly because they are already so famous, but they generally don't pay much attention to it.
Well, aside from the fact that the child is still very young, most parents are not active in their field after the child grows up. So, from the child's perspective, they are just an ordinary family. If you neglect this aspect, there is a high possibility that the child may go down the wrong path.
So, I should probably be like that too. When Lily has a sense of reason, I'll probably have revealed my identity, and I plan to diligently play the role of an older brother.
Uung.
It had been quite a while since Lily woke up from her nap. After making a sleepy sound, Lily slowly began to close her eyes. It's common for babies to spend most of their day sleeping until they sleep through the night. It's fortunate that I arrived during her awake hours.
Anyway, Lily seems to be tired, so I should stop here. It's a shame that Adelia couldn't see her like this.
Ring-
When Lily tried to fall asleep, mother rang the bell, calling for a maid. Well, more precisely, it's not a maid but a head maid.
Before long, the summoned head maid entered the lounge. Unlike my mother, who exuded beauty comparable to that of a maiden despite being past middle age, the head maid at her age had deep wrinkles on her face, fitting her years.
The head maid, who started living with us when my father received a noble rank, had taken care of me even in my childhood. Now, she holds the position of the head maid.
Well then, I'll leave it to you, Dana.
Yes, understood.
The head maid bowed politely in response to the mother's request and left the room. Although I wanted to see Lily a bit more, I couldn't help but feel regret since sleep was crucial for the child.
Once the head maid left with Lily, only my mother and I remained in the lounge. While gazing at the spot where the head maid had been, I spoke to my mother.
Did the head maid return to her position as a head maid?
No, it's not that. I'm gradually getting older, so I don't engage much in social activities aside from tea time. That's why we take turns taking care of Lily.
I think mom is still young enough to engage in social activities though?
This little.
Mother smiled happily, placing her hand on her mouth. It seems like she took it as a joke, but it's not a joke; it's the truth.
Who would think that she, looking at that face, is a middle-aged woman who raised three grown-up siblings? There's no sign of aging to be found, not even a trace.
Perhaps it's because of her good genes or maybe she absorbed all of my father's mana. Considering how Marie and Cecilys skin glowed every time we slept, the possibility was very high.
Let's think about how Lily was born in the first place. Even on the first night with Marie, she generously gave me the last remaining contraceptive pill.
Anyway, you've safely returned home. By the way, Adelia seems to have gone through various things in the meantime.
Well yes. Just a while ago, I met Miss Kate.
There were so many people that even your mother got a bit dizzy. Since it seems like we have a lot to talk about, sit for a moment. Your father is currently busy with work, so it might be better to meet him later.
Is he really that busy?
Don't say such things. He's busy complaining about you every day.
How much does he complain about me? In fact, most of my father's work is a result of things that happened because of me, so I cant really argue.
Although I want to help, I'm ignorant when it comes to his work. I should learn little by little during the vacation, even if it's for the sake of the future.
Following my mother's instructions, I settled on the sofa in the lounge. There's still some time before Adelia arrives.
I planned to bring up Xenons Biography until then. Fortunately, even fresh fruit was prepared, as if ready in advance.
Mother, eagerly slicing into the tempting red apple. She enjoys cutting it herself rather than relying on a servant, even on ordinary days.
I picked up a piece of fruit that Mother had cut and put it in my mouth using a fork. The sweet juice spread throughout my mouth.
So many things have happened, and I don't know where to start. It's even hard to organize.
You can do it however you like, Mother.
Well then Kate. How did you meet Inquisitor Kate? Looks like she knows your identity as well.
It's nothing special. Lord Luminous gave her an ambiguous oracle.
Not just an oracle, but the strong scent of lilacs emanating from my body played a role. It wasn't an artificial perfume, but the natural fragrance of lilacs, so Kate noticed it faster.
After that, there were requests for my seed and such, but fortunately, those were smoothly handled. Perhaps due to Kate's extensive knowledge nurtured under the thorough management of the organization, her sexual knowledge was devastating.
Mother, after listening to what happened between Kate and me, pondered for a moment and then smiled faintly. It seems a bit awkward after hearing it firsthand.
So, there were circumstances. No wonder there was a reason you mentioned such things without hesitation.
Did she also say such things to Mother?
She said something similar. That Xenon is practically the same as light. Therefore, spreading your seed far and wide will brighten the world, she said.
What?
I momentarily stopped trying to put the fruit in my mouth and looked at my mother with a bewildered expression. I wondered if I had misheard what I heard just a moment ago.
However, my mother, after seeing my expression, calmly smiled and continued to slice the fruit leisurely.
It seems you heard correctly. Just as you plant seeds in the ground for plants to grow, you're supposed to spread your seeds throughout the world. That's the only way the world can be filled with light.
At first, I thought she might be a bit eccentric after hearing that. But I didn't expect there to be such circumstances.
Is it not strange to say things like that, regardless of the circumstances?
I burst into nervous laughter. I had just muttered about being the light that would save the world earlier, and now I was saying such things.
In my heart, I wanted to open Kate's head like a lid and see what she was thinking.
But you can understand, can't you? At first, I thought she wanted to turn our son into someone worse than trash. You're enough of a scoundrel now.
Mother?
Why are you like this? Should I list them one by one if it's too difficult for you? The Young Duchess of Requilis, the beloved of the Princess of Helium. The daughter of the chieftain you mentioned in the letter, a knight escort. Lastly, Kate and the junior you discovered this time. At least these women have feelings for you beyond mere liking.
Oh, and the Elven Queen might be included as well. She has received a lot of help from you, after all.
Mother checked me thoroughly. She inserted a dagger into my heart with a smiling face. If Nicole physically tortured me, my mother mentally beat me. I wanted to protest, but if I do that, I'll be the only one to look pitiful, so it's better to just shut my mouth.
I should eat some fruit.
Anyway, let's quickly move on from the matter about Kate. If I keep talking, I'll only make things difficult for myself.
Let's just skip that part for now. What's important right now is not that.
It's incredibly important, and you're the only one who doesn't know. Does our Isaac have a hobby of collecting princesses?
Mother.
Hehe.
As I looked at my mother, who was eating fruit with a complex expression, she smiled like a young girl. How can she say the same thing as Nicole? Maybe this is also genetic.
I sighed as I looked at my mother eating fruit with a smile. I had a strong premonition that this might become a lifelong joke.
Meanwhile, my mother picked up a piece of fruit and slowly started peeling the skin.
Let's skip what you want for now and talk about Xenon's Biography. What kind of gift did you receive from the demons that made your work speed up?
I'll tell you that later. Gartz will bring it soon.
The typewriter cannot be left in the dormitory, and it's too big to carry around. So, I asked Gartz like a delivery driver. Maybe it will arrive around this evening. I asked him to deliver it to me at that time.
It's exciting. I wonder what kind of item it is that has significantly increased the work speed. Thanks to it, I can enjoy Xenon's Biography a bit faster. This mom is happy.
Oh, by the way, did you receive the side story that I sent by mail? Did you read it?
Just before the vacation started, I completed all of the side story and sent it to the mansion. By now, they should have arrived at the publishing house, but
Oh, I forgot to tell you. It seems sending it to the publishing house will have difficulties for a while.
What? Why?
I received unexpected news from my mother. At the same time, I became worried because the last time the head of the publishing house was attacked by a devil worshiper. I'm concerned if something worse than that has happened.
Of course, it's not a big problem to sign a contract with another publishing house. However, the trust built up with the current publishing house over time was very strong. Musk, the CEO, stood firm even when pressured by elf elders who received support from the Council of Elders, not just human nobles.
He's someone hard to find, and even in situations like now, it would be troublesome if something happened.
That's the thing. They say the company is relocating.
To where?
To our territory.
What?
What is this again? The company that was doing well is moving to our territory.
As I looked at her with an expression of complete confusion, my mother explained the situation with her characteristic calm smile.
As you know, the publisher's CEO was attacked by devil worshippers.
I know about that.
But it seems the CEO thought that not only he but also others might be harmed. So, he planned to move the company to our territory, where the temple is being built. I heard that they will even help the families of the employees move.
That's going to cost a lot of money.
I expressed deep concern. The current value of our Michelle territory's land was skyrocketing.
Not only are temples dedicated to the twin sibling deities being built, but also a huge event like the Xenon Exhibition is held in the area every year.
Moreover, it was a territory with great potential from the beginning, not just for development but also to keep my father bound. Naturally, the land value could only be high.
I'm worried that taking care of the families of the employees might be a bit difficult, even with the considerable profit from Xenon's Biography.
However, my mother, unlike such concerns, casually opened her mouth with a shrug of her shoulders.
Well, the CEO didn't seem to care much about that, right? People can live with money, but you can't buy a human life with money.
So, it might be difficult to deliver manuscripts during the construction of the building. Instead, it will probably be completed quickly. Cardinal Kate promised to help from their side.
That CEO. Seriously, he has an amazing ability to smell money. It's a relief that he's not a noble, but if he were, he would have wielded immense wealth.
While I was silently chuckling to myself about it, my mother, who had been slicing fruit, paused and gently set the knife down. After glancing around to double-check if anyone was listening, she cautiously asked me in a hushed voice.
So, I read the spin-off, you know.
You read that? Don't read it.
Yeah. How could I resist the curiosity? It's the side story of Jin and Lily's past!
Squelch
What the! I blinked as a strange sound reached my ears. When I shifted my gaze, an unbelievable scene unfolded before me, my mother's fingertips digging into the fruit.
I could understand the excitement and the force she put into it, but aside from that, it was undoubtedly an extraordinary sight for her fingers to be delving into a tough fruit.
You don't know how much I'm looking forward to it after reading. I hope Jin and Lily continue, and get together soon.
Jin's chest was pierced in the twentieth volume, I couldn't bring myself to say those words. Because
Grip!
Just imagining it made me afraid, as Mother's fingers gradually invaded the inside of the fruit.
I've seen some people in my past life split apples with one hand, but piercing an apple with fingers is something I've never seen before.
Simple brute strength. Mother mercilessly slaughtered the fruit with pure brute strength, without the power of mana.
Crack!
Our fruit valiantly met its demise. Not just scattered juice, but it seemed to be shattered into pieces everywhere.
The juice splashed on my cheek, showing how strongly she squeezed it.
Oh my. I didn't even realize the strength
Just wait a moment.
After ruthlessly brushing off the destroyed fruit from her hand, my mother stood up. I looked at the shattered fruit mess even when she stood up.
Why does that feel like my future? I'm deeply worried that after the twentieth volume, my chest might be pierced.
There must be a reason why Father chose Mother.
Indeed, beside the male lion, the female lion fits the best.
