Episode 117 36. Suddenly One Day (2)
3.
The situation that followed unfolded in a completely unexpected way.
It was Charon who had been pressuring the elf girl with great momentum… … .
“Anyone can see that it’s the evil dragon’s hatchling. We’re all fooled by its cuteness… … .”
“Shouldn’t you be quiet? My arms are going down. Raise your arms straight up.”
“… …Sniff.”
The elf girl was crying, holding the wooden doll dearly, and Charon could only kneel on the floor with both arms raised.
The hostage situation that suddenly occurred was ended by Leon’s hands.
Leon gently stroked the head of the sobbing elf girl.
“Are you really surprised?”
“I… … was just hiding because I was so scared… … . Even my treasure… … was going to be destroyed… … .”
It took a very long time to appease the girl.
While Caron was standing there being punished, Leo sneakily approached her from behind and clapped his hands while speaking.
“Wow, Caron Reston. Now you’re taking a child’s doll hostage? I can only salute you for your progress day by day. Hey, you’re still human after doing that?”
“… … Hatching is clearly dangerous… … .”
“Does he look dangerous to you?”
Tears fall incessantly from large eyes.
Even my nose is running.
Even in the midst of all this, she was holding the doll preciously with her two hands like bracken ferns.
“You said Guillotine was a hatchling?”
Guillotine replied as if he was dumbfounded by the blame on Charon.
-You said you were Etaron’s hatchling, didn’t you tell me to do something like that? You evil master. How could you do something like that with a child’s doll? You are truly subhuman. Even the demons would shake their heads when they see what you just did.
“I’m the only bad guy again, just me.”
“Charon. You are a great warrior, but you are also the worst human being. How could you do such a ruthless thing to a child? You were dishonorable just now. I am very disappointed.”
Even Urhan looked down at Charon with contempt.
“A warrior is supposed to protect the weak. Don’t you see that girl as someone you need to protect?”
At those words, Charon looked at the elf girl, or more precisely, the hatchling, once again.
“It seems like a harmless creature. But I know its true nature. It clearly has evil intentions… … .”
Paaaaaaaah-!
Leon’s hand slapped Charon’s back.
“If he really had bad intentions toward us, he would have done something about it a long time ago.”
“It could be acting, Sister. It could be that she’s hiding her powers… … .”
“If he had strength, he would have broken your wrists a long time ago. I would have done the same. There’s nothing I can’t say in front of him.”
It was a logical rebuttal, just like Leon.
Caron searched in his head for a counterargument to Leon’s logic, but there was no such thing.
“admit.”
I have no choice but to admit that this hatchling is a harmless creature.
Of course, this is only for now.
After the storm had passed, Hatching finally stopped crying and spoke in a small voice.
“… … I’ll tell everything to my uncle.”
“So, there was a conspirator? I knew it. Your plan was to stall for time until the conspirator arrived… … .”
Taaaaah!
Leon’s palm spit fire once again.
“Ugh.”
“Kerua Act. You can tell just by looking at him that he was taking care of her.”
“Oh, I know. I was just joking around to lighten the mood… … .”
“You really shouldn’t get married and have children.”
“why.”
“I’m really worried that my nephew will look like you.”
Leon’s words were full of sincerity.
But just then, the hatchling in Leon’s arms started to move and spoke.
“Sister, don’t hit my dad.”
“Not hitting, but scolding me… … . Huh? What did you just say?”
“Don’t hit me, Dad.”
“… … Dad? Who is your dad?”
In response to that question, Hatcheling pointed his finger at Charon.
And at that moment, Leon’s expression hardened like ice.
It wasn’t just Silk Lion.
The expressions of everyone present froze. Even Caron, who was pointed out as the father.
There was silence in the living room for a long time.
The one who broke the silence was none other than Leo.
Leo looked at Hatching with a serious expression, then spoke in a very serious voice.
“… … Then who is your mother?”
It was a completely unexpected question.
Leon and Utula both looked at Leo with pity.
“Are you calling that a question now?”
“It’s pathetic, Leo. I’m disappointed in you too.”
“No, really, was I the only one who was curious?”
Leo looked at Charon and continued speaking as if he felt wronged.
“Could it be that Charon caused an accident without us knowing?”
“You know that Caron is seventeen this year, right?”
“Then, surely, when I went on a pilgrimage four years ago… … .”
“Caron was thirteen at the time, you crazy bastard. Talk to me with common sense. Besides, this kid is a dragon hatchling.”
“… … Then, before entering Cheonghae Castle… … .”
Paaaaak-!
Charon, who had been standing still, struck Leo on the back of the head with his sword.
Then Leo fell to the floor, foaming at the mouth.
At that sight, Leon clicked his tongue and shook his head.
“It wasn’t like this when Leo was little, but he’s all infected by you, Caron.”
“So I’m going to take a proper look at it later. I’ve been leaving it alone lately, so I can’t come to my senses.”
The one who was more embarrassed than the others was Caron himself.
It’s also puzzling that Kerua was taking care of the hatchling, who called her father.
What could be more absurd than this?
“Why am I a father?”
Then Hatching answered, hugging the wooden doll tightly.
“I can tell when I see it.”
“No, Dad.”
“That’s right, Dad!”
It was a firm and resolute statement of intent.
Caron sighed as he looked at the hatchling’s face, which was puffed out with anger.
At that moment, Guillotine asked a question indirectly.
-Master, I don’t misunderstand… … Did you happen to be with a dragon in your past life… … .
“blast furnace.”
-No. No. That can’t be. Haha, Etaron is an evil dragon from 300 years ago. Just ignore it.
In my 46 years of life, including my previous life, I have never even had a passing woman.
But then suddenly a daughter, and a hatchling’s daughter at that.
It’s so confusing, if not bewildering.
It seemed like this was the first time in my life that I had encountered a situation that could not be resolved by force.
As Caron was thinking like that, Hatcheling came up to him and said with a big smile.
“It’s too much. You’re even trying to break my precious doll… … But I’ll let you go just this once! I’m happy just by seeing my dad!”
Just by smiling, the guy seems to brighten up the surroundings.
At that sight, Caron couldn’t help but smile happily.
As he was twitching his hand, wanting to pat Hatching’s head, Leon muttered quietly to himself.
“A father threatening to destroy his daughter’s toys? Isn’t that the worst kind of human?”
“I agree, Caron. You’re definitely a piece of shit as a father.”
There was no longer any Charon on his side.
4.
Hatching introduced himself as Aquarius.
But it’s a name that doesn’t stick in your mouth.
So, Caron decided to give it a nickname.
“How about Yongyong, easy and simple?”
“I hate Yongyong… … .”
This could be said to be the worst naming sense ever.
Feeling hopelessly miserable, Leon sighed and decided on a nickname.
“How about Aquana Ari?”
Then Hatching smiled brightly and nodded.
“Aqua! My uncle calls me Aqua too.”
“Then why didn’t you just ask me to call you Aqua from the beginning?”
When Caron asked with a blank expression, Aqua answered bashfully.
“I did it because I wanted my dad to give me a nickname.”
It was Aqua who said that and smiled bashfully.
Charon slowly nodded his head at the innocent smile that could hardly be considered that of an evil dragon hatchling.
‘It’s cute.’
Actually, if you think about it, it’s not that bad of a situation.
The girl who calls herself Daddy is Etaron’s hatchling, a child who will one day become a dragon.
Is it really necessary to stop people from calling me dad?
It might help you someday.
-You see this cute creature from that perspective? Master, you are more than I imagined. How about giving a lecture to the demons?
I decided to just ignore Guillotine’s words.
because.
‘Who was it that bragged about cutting down the mother of that cute creature?’
From Aqua’s perspective, Guillotine was the one who killed her parents.
But Guillotine’s return answer was truly a masterpiece.
-That’s because Etaron was a cheap dragon even if he died. It was self-defense.
While Charon was fighting with Guillotine, Aqua, who had been quietly watching Charon, carefully grabbed Charon’s hand.
“The black cat just now, is that the spirit that made a contract with Dad?”
“Right. But why?”
“I was hiding because I was scared earlier. Can I say hello to the cat?”
“It won’t be difficult.”
Charon skillfully summoned Pluto.
Myaaaah-!
Aqua smiled happily at Pluto’s appearance.
Pluto also rubbed his face against Aqua’s leg as if he was happy to see her. Then, he quickly climbed onto Aqua’s head.
The effect is doubled when cute is placed on top of cute.
“What is this spirit’s name?”
Hatching was a very curious creature.
Although it was annoying, I decided to answer obediently because she was cute.
“Pluto.”
“Pluto! That’s a pretty name too.”
A wooden doll in one hand, a cat on the head.
Caron quietly looked at Aqua, who was armed with cuteness. Then he asked in a secretive voice.
“Aqua, can I ask you something?”
“Okay! Dad, I’ll answer any questions you ask.”
“I’m a little curious as to why you call me dad. We just met today.”
I couldn’t ask him forcefully because Leon was glaring at me from behind as if he was going to kill me.
So, Caron treated Aqua in the most friendly manner possible.
“Hmm.”
Aqua was lost in thought for a moment.
He looked like he was struggling to figure out how to explain it.
But that was only for a moment, as Aqua shook her head.
“It’s hard for me to understand since I’m not a dragon… … Intuition? Hmm, it’s hard to explain. Anyway, it’s Dad.”
It seemed impossible to bury each and every one of them.
“Aqua, how old is you this year?”
“Seven years old. The World Tree told me.”
“World Tree?”
“huh.”
‘Seven years old.’
Caron thought back seven years ago.
‘That was when I had just entered Cheonghae Castle… … .’
No matter how much I thought about it, nothing came out.
This is because after being reincarnated, I have been working very hard to build up my strength.
‘I should stop by Galad on the way and ask the regent.’
It seemed to be related to the World Tree.
The evil dragon Etaron.
World tree.
As for finding a connection between these two beings, there was nothing we could know at the moment.
And above all.
‘I feel familiar with this person too.’
Should I say that it is a strangely deep sense of homogeneity?
Strangely enough, Aqua didn’t feel much resistance to calling him dad.
“Aqua is incredibly smart even though she’s only seven years old.”
“He’s a prodigy, a prodigy.”
“Well, if you want to climb on my shoulders, just tell me. I can give you a ride as much as you want.”
It was around the time when Caron and his group were completely in love with Aqua.
-……master.
Guillotine’s voice echoed in Charon’s head.
‘know.’
It was only a fleeting moment, but I felt someone approaching from outside the house.
A magical power so powerful it will give you goosebumps.
The magical power was comparable to that of Mason, Revelio’s escort knight.
There was only one being here who could possess such magical powers.
‘Kerua.’
It seemed like Kerua was returning home.
Caron looked toward the door without saying a word.
I thought about what to say first when I met him, but nothing came to mind right away.
If we meet face to face, these complicated thoughts will be sorted out.
He waited calmly for Kerua to come into the house.
“… …Why aren’t you coming in?”
But no matter how much time passed, Kerua did not appear.
“There’s no way I felt wronged.”
At that moment, an idea crossed his mind.
A situation where uninvited guests invade a house where only a child is left.
If you were in this situation, how would you perceive it?
As the thought reached that point, cold sweat began to run down Charon’s forehead.
Caron said with a forced smile.
“Hey, no way. But Aqua is here, so why are you attacking so recklessly… .”
Before Caron could finish speaking.
Crunch-!
A terrifyingly large black blast tore the house in half.
There’s a mad dog living in the duke’s house
