The Baby Raising A Devil-Novel

Chapter 250

TL: Zimmings

The scenes she saw for the first time rushed in and quickly escaped.

‘First time…?’

Was it really the first time? Tears fell down, and her legs lost strength.

“Child!”

Reginald rushed to help her.

“Are you okay?”

“I’m not okay. I don’t think I’m okay.”

“Huh?”

Tears kept coming out of her eyes. She felt sad for some reason and her mind was all jumbled up.

Reginald looked at Mina, who buried her face in both hands and sobbed sadly.

In the evening, I ate with my family after a long time. It was the school’s consideration for me and my family who went through many things and saved students.

As always, they piled food on my plate, Henry removed the crumbs from my mouth, Isaac kept poking my chubby cheeks, dad and Johann looked at us gently.

After the meal, I felt very sad. The tip of my nose was red when I saw dad and Johann at the school gate with the principal and faculty.

“It’s vacation soon. I’ll see you when I’m on vacation.”

“…….”

As I was holding back my tears, Isaac laughed and teased me.

“You’re crying? Huh?”

“No, I’m not.”

“Oh my, you’re still a baby.”

“It’s not true.”

Rubbing my eyes with my palm, I grumbled inside.

‘Why am I crying and making a fuss?’

This is why puberty is the problem. What’s the point of being able to think well like an adult? I kept getting extremely emotional. At that time, my dad spread his arms out.

“Blaine.”

“…….”

“Come here.”

When I hugged my dad, tears burst out.

“Huwaa…! It’s not because I don’t want you to go! I’m not a baby! Huwaa!

“Yes.”

“I was just so surprised by what happened the other day, that’s why I cried. Huwaa!

“Yes.”

Dad merely said yes, but the others’ shoulders shook with their heads down.

I stared at my brothers, Nos, and Irie.

Why am I so late in development that I only become extremely emotional at 17? I’m embarrassed.

‘This is all because I grew up without eating well until I was four years old.’

“It’s… it’s because of puberty.”

“So that’s why you cried?”

“Really?”

Isaac and Henry lowered their heads again as their shoulders shook.

Dad said with a smile.

“See you soon.”

“Yes…….”

“Stop crying. It breaks my heart.”

People from the school, including the principal, opened their mouths wide when they heard my father’s sweet words.

Bewildered by seeing the villain acted so gentle, they gulped.

I returned to the campus after a tearful breakup with my dad, Johann, and my family members.

I walked back with Henry and Isaac, as they teased me the whole time. When I was returning to the dorm, I saw a familiar face from afar.

“Mina……?”

It was dark, so I couldn’t see her well. I could only see that she was very haggard.

“Are you sick?”

When I asked that, she replied,

“I’m fine.”

“You look sick, you-”

Before I could finish my mouth, Isaac said casually.

“She said it’s okay. If it wasn’t, she’ll take care of it herself. Let’s go back.”

Then he grabbed my arms. Henry followed us from behind and ignored her.

“Cookie.”

I could hear what Mina said.

My brothers kept walking without saying anything, but I stopped walking.

[So Cookies… ah, Cookie is a nickname that I gave to Isaac]

In my first life, I remembered the conversation between the Duke of Amity and Mina.

I held my skirt tightly.

‘Did I hear it wrong?’

I barely moved my stiff body and looked at her.

“What?”

“I say Cookie.”

At that time, the lights of the campus were all lit up. It was a light that turned on automatically after 8 o’clock.

As the dim surroundings brightened, I could see a pendant on her neck.

‘Etwal…!’

That was definitely the Etwal from the temple.

While I was stiff, Mina asked.

“But Leblaine.”

“…….”

“How do you know that?”

“…… What?”

“The word cookie!”

Mina approached me while biting her lips.

“That’s the first word I remember when I saw it. When I called Isaac… like that…”

Mina’s voice became quiet.

It was my first time seeing Mina like that. She had a sad expression that I’ve never seen even when we lived as sisters.

“As soon as I grabbed the etwal, I remembered a strange memory. It’s not mine, but I felt that it was mine. I’m so confused.”

“…….”

“How do you know that word? Huh?”

“That-”

Just then,

Henry, who blocked my sight, said.

“Is there anyone who doesn’t know that word?”

“…… Huh?”

“It’s a common food.”

“It’s not like that… Hey, Henry- Oh, how do I know your name? I saw it from that memory, and we’re very close-”

“Why don’t you get counseling instead? Don’t bother Leblaine.”

“Henry!”

Henry pulled me and said, “Let’s go, Leblaine.”

I was dragged by him as I looked at Mina.

The girl was left alone while shivering, and burying her face in her hands.

“Henry, let go. Henry!

It wasn’t until Mina was gone that Henry said,

“Don’t do that. ”

“Huh?”

Henry, who said so to me, looked cold unlike usual.

“It’s the memory of her former life. The word cookie.”

Henry quickly understood what my conversation with Mina was about.

“…… That’s right.”

“Then don’t ever tell that kid. What are you going to do if she even remembered that you’re the child of evil God?”

“…….”

“Everyone would try to kill you. The temple, the neighboring country, and the empire will all regard you as a source of their misfortune.”

The last time he looked at me like this was when I was four years old and found out that Henry was being abused.

Isaac looked at Henry and me.

“Brother, don’t yell at the kid like that. I’m sure the kid understood. Right?

“Say that you won’t do it, Leblaine.”

I looked at him. Then, I lightly slapped both of Henry’s cheeks. Henry and Isaac opened their eyes wide as I smiled slightly.

“I’m not scared of that at all. I have my older brothers who embrace my fear on my behalf, what am I scared of?”

“…….”

“And I’m Dubblede’s family member. Even when she told someone, who would believe her?”

When I put my hand on my waist and said playfully, Henry and Isaac were confused. I raised my head arrogantly.

“If she was gonna tell everyone, feel free to. We’ll have a public opinion war so that no one can believe what the temple says. Right?”

Henry and Isaac looked at each other with wide eyes. And soon they laughed.

I smiled and held their hands.

“Just like how I trusted you, please trust me.”

“It’s a lie. Kid, you don’t trust me right?”

“It’s because you break the legs of aristocrats every day. Please don’t cause such incidents.”

Isaac playfully patted my head as Henry smiled and threw Isaac’s hand away.

“I’ll talk to Mina. Trust me, have I ever done something silly?”

“No. Kid wouldn’t do that.”

“Yes.”

At the answers of the two, I nodded with satisfaction.

“If her reaction is strange, I will never provoke her.”

Isaac put his chin on my head and said, “Yes.”. I squeezed Henry’s hand tightly.

***

On the central tower,

When the four Dukes of the Empire entered the conference hall, the nobles who held the voting rights of the central tower got up.

Dubblede, Amity, Marche, and Grimoire.

When they sat down, the nobles with their heads down took their seats.

Vallua Dukedom had collapsed and a new noble filled the position. It was Count Brievo, who began to talk.

“I heard the news, Lord Dubblede. I’ll say this without hesitation. They said that your daughter has summoned devils to save the students of Odis. There was a saying that the devils were recorded in ancient documents.”

The chairman was very upset.

Duke Marche and Duke Grimoire glanced at Theodore Dubblede.

The Duke of Dubblede opened his mouth.

“No.”

“Then what are those?”

“Angel.”

“……Pardon?”

When the word came out of the man who was called a villain, the atmosphere became awkward.

“Wha-what?”

“Is it strange that my daughter, who is as cute as an angel, summoned an angel?”

This side of my father was weird.
