Chapter 196 – Chapter 189 – Dream Demon’s Daughter (8)

Hernán closed his eyes tightly while sitting on the chair in Carine’s studio.
Of course, such an act did not help at all in escaping the situation in reality.

When I opened my eyes again, curtains and various production tools surrounded me.
And the lovely daughter was seen holding out her hand with her expectant eyes in her eyes.

“The magic stone is a dangerous thing. It’s not something the kids can take carelessly, Ella.”

Even though the curtains would block his vision and voice, Hernán was paying attention to whether there were any people around him.

“Huh! Ella, I don’t know how to use magic anyway.”

“No, not that…”

“Ella, I will never use magic! It’s just because it’s pretty!”

Ella glanced around her, and she snatched a small pouch.

“I’m going to put it in my pocket like this and secretly look at it alone, Ella!”

Her twisting smile suddenly resembled her own mother’s.
Most of Hernan could not refuse the request of Sharpie who smiled like this.

“Ella… Of course, her father doesn’t think that Ella will use her magic stone against her.”

Hernán tried hard to ignore that smile and reprimanded him well.

“But what if Ella carries it and she loses it? What if her mother, like Una, is a powerful wizard, and her brother has an accident with it.”

In fact, she was more worried about Potty taking the magic stone than Una.
But she can’t openly imitate Potty in front of her child.

“That’s why Ella is putting it in this pocket and carrying it around! She won’t even show it to anyone else.”

Ella shook a pouch that looked like it could hold a really small stone.
As she smiles brightly, she becomes more and more like her own mother.

At that moment, Hernan fell into a strange thought.

That eye smile and behavior that her daughter inherited.
Did he learn from the abilities of the demon lord Shafi, or did he inherit the personality of the dreamer Shafikara?

It was a totally useless thought, but Hernan thought about it until he heard his daughter’s next words.

“Ella, about to do her favor. Inside. Did ji?

Did her baby daddy notice that she was losing focus?
Ella cut her off and turned her attention to herself.

Hernán smiled apologetically and slightly turned her words around.

“You, Ella. Why do you want this magic stone?”

“Because you are pretty!”

Ella was so pretty whenever her mother used her magic, she was ecstatic whenever she saw Karine wearing it around her neck, etc. Praised

“I especially like the blue mana stone! Hmm… I like it better because it’s the opposite of Mom’s eye color?”

“But Ella, you like red because her mother has red eyes.”

Ella’s movements slightly stiffen.

She’s probably not quite as good at managing her expression yet as her own mother.

Returning her smile and composure to her, Hernán penetrated the delicate gap.

“Ella. Why is it a blue magic stone?”

“That… It doesn’t matter at all.”

Hesitantly, Ella tilted her head and raised the corner of her mouth.

“Like my dad said, I like red magic stones too. But would you like a blue one?”

“You can’t talk like it’s already been decided what you will receive.”

Now Hernán even had a little fun in his conversation with her daughter.
Although she still felt the pressure of her embarrassment or rejection, it was a pleasure to see this young daughter deftly turning her words around and coming to negotiate.

Hernán put her finger on Ella’s forehead.

“Be honest, Ella. Who asked for the magic stone?”

“Uh… Who asked for it?”

Ella says she must help, and runs into the garden, which she is forbidden to come up.
But she didn’t try to drag her dad down under her, as if unexpectedly, it wasn’t an immediate accident.

This fact and the attitude that seems to require the magic stone.
When these two are combined, a rough estimate of why Ella needs the magic stone comes out.

“Who asked Ella for urgently needing a magic stone?”

Ella made her almost expressionless face, but frantically waggled her tail, revealing her anxiety.

Sharpie doesn’t have much control over her tail, unlike her expression, so she’s quite emotional.

Hernán continued her words, twitching her tail.

“Did he say that she would be in big trouble if she didn’t have the magic stone? And she promised not to tell anyone else about it?”

“Eh, Ella, that’s…”

“Ella. What adults need can be solved among adults. Ella doesn’t have to run around as hard as she just did.”

While appeasing Ella well, Ernan continued to guess who had asked Ella to bring her magic stone.

Three candidates.

A woman who seems to have lost two people who can use magic and the magic stone she originally had.

Hernán put his weight on the last woman among them.

“Is Ella close with Karine?”

“Huh!”

When Ella’s momentary hiccup came out, she hastily covered her mouth.

“Did you meet Carine today?”

“Eh, Ella, hehe, we met but…”

Listening to Ella’s gibberish, Hernan remembered the three women who were her candidates.

Of these, Sharpies and Potties are good if they have magic stones.
However, it was questionable whether it was necessary to go so far as to motivate her child.

And Sharpie or Potty, when she wants something, she prefers to ask for it rather than her own children.

Or, they kiss each other in advance and start persuading them.

“I heard that you, Kari, are strangely trying to hide her necklace today?”

In comparison, Karine is in a very urgent position if she really lost her magic stone.
It is not a good situation to have a mana stone, but a situation where you can prevent damage only if you have it right now.

That’s enough to make her think she needs to get another magic stone urgently.

Besides, Carine is frankly not good with words.
She doesn’t deserve anyone to help.

“Eh, Ella doesn’t know if it’s because she’s not interested in Kary’s mother’s necklace…”

Especially when her heart was in a hurry, she kept putting more irrational numbers.
When she was in the capital, as well as when she was here, she did a lot of rather unreasonable things.

Becoming a warrior blindly, or stealing her semen and getting pregnant.
Besides that, there were so many.

The more I thought about it, the more it didn’t seem strange that Karine made her child do something.

“Ella.”

“… Huh.”

Watching Ella break out in a cold sweat, Hernán confirmed Carine as her culprit.

“Her father will talk to you. So why don’t she, Ella, just stop looking forward to her gift she’s going to get today?”

“Huh… Black!”

At that moment, Ella burst into tears and began to cry profusely.

“Ahhh!”

“Eh, Ella!”

Embarrassed, Hernan hurriedly patted the child on the back and tried to comfort him.

“Did Dad push you too hard? I’m sorry if I offended you.”

“Eh, the magic stone… !”

Ella continued to cry while pointing at her magic stone.

Hernan shook his head, feeling embarrassed.

“Even though her dad promised, this isn’t even for Ella. Let’s stop crying because I’ll do something else for you.”

Ella sniffed her snot and gave out a sad voice.

“Now, can’t we just have it for a moment?”

“Would you like the magic stone for a while?”

“Only in the garden today. Ella already promised to show me her magic stone!”

Did you promise Carine?
In fact, it is certain that Karine lost her magic stone.

“Didn’t you say you were going to see all of Ella’s presents today? Then, when she gets together to look at the gift, she lets Ella show her her magic stone.”

“Ella. If you do, Karine will be in more trouble…”

Hernán, who even thought of scolding Ella a little, stopped her words for a moment.

“In front of everyone…”

The biggest problem when Karine loses her magic stone is if it is given to a person who can use her magic.

If it’s from children, you don’t have to worry too much about it because you won’t be able to find it in this small facility if adults search through it anyway.

However, if Potty and Sharpie do pick it up, it’s safer to announce to everyone that the magic stone is lost.

The rest will keep their eyes open and watch for signs of using magic.
Or you could go straight into the big search.

It’s just as hard for adults to hide something secretly in this facility anyway, so they might find it sooner or later.

“Good. Instead, I’ll give her the magic stone for a second only when her dad has it and shows it to everyone.”

“In blue?”

Hernán smiled bitterly and nodded his head.

“Yes, with a blue magic stone.”

Ella responded weakly, wagging her tail.

“Okay. Then dad Can’t we gather in the garden instead?”

“Now?”

“It’s hard, Ella… I want to finish quickly and rest.”

Hernán felt sorry for her, thinking that she had pushed her child too hard.

“Good. Everyone is in no hurry right now, so let’s get together and look at presents and have lunch. Is that okay?”

“Huh…”

Ella smiled at her, slightly cheered up.

“Thank you for granting my wish, Dad.”

Hernan stood up while stroking Ella’s hair.
He lifted the curtains off her, saying briskly to cheer her Ella up.

“Phew…”

That’s why I didn’t see Ella let out a sigh of relief as she wiped away her tears.

And I didn’t even hear her last murmur.

“Ella, you might not be able to eat lunch…”

* * *

Potty, who was not feeling well, and all the children came up to the garden.

Seeing the people rushing through the garden gate, Ella hurriedly looked at Carine.

Tense face.
Anxiously trembling eyes.

Seeing that, Ella was relieved.

If I had met her mother and talked about her necklace, she would have had the lifeless eyes of a stone statue, not nervousness and anxiety.

“Eh, what is this?”

Ella took her eyes off her carine and turned to the surprised Potty.

Unlike the other grown-ups, Potty seems to have been unaware of what was going on in the garden as he was recuperating.

“A gift for Ella and the kids.”

With the word “Gift”, Hernan, her father, was the last to enter.

He was displaying a steady gait as he set his feet into the garden.

“Huh? Are you all right in Hernan Garden?”

Sharpie widened her eyes in admiration, and Hernán grinned.

“I’m dizzy and I’m about to pass out, so if I fall, be prepared to accept me.”

“… Are you kidding?”

“Yes, I am joking.”

Marina dug in between Hernán and the sharpie who tilted her head.

“Hernan. I’ll help you, toward the table.”

Marina took her father and hurried over to the table.
Sharpie only shrugged her shoulders, and she didn’t respond much.
Instead, she tried to move towards Potty and Karine.

Feeling the urgency, Ella hurriedly shouted.

“Oh, Dad! Ella is so excited! Thanks for the gift!”

A slightly puzzled voice came from Hernan’s father.

“Ella. I haven’t even started presenting yet.”

Ella felt that she wanted to hit her head with a tail.
But instead of doing that, she smiled and walked over to her dad.

“Then what about Ella?”

Marina also led her children to a large wooden pole, so no one was around.
However, since Silnia and her younger siblings could hear it, Ella spoke in a roundabout way.

“Ruler.”

Hernán moved his hand a few times, then suddenly took out his magic stone from his empty hand.

“Did you suddenly appear? Does Dad use magic too?”

“It’s just quick hands.”

Her father, Hernan, smiled shyly and put it in Ella’s hand in an instant.

“Show it to everyone and give it back to Dad right away. Now that Dad can see properly, he can’t go out with other people. Understand?”

“Huh. Never give it to anyone else.”

When Ella agreed, Ernan immediately called Silnia.

“Sylnia!”

“Why? I’m busy!”

Silnia turned her head as Ethan struggled to climb her wooden pole.

“Leave Ethan with Marina and come here for a second.”

As soon as Silnia arrived, Hernán pointed at Ella.

“Can you help everyone get a good look at Ella? You can take one of her chairs and put it in front of a wooden post.”

“Well, the main character of today’s present is Ella.”

Ella felt that she had no idea what exactly that tree trunk was that kept getting her name out there.

“But Hernan.”

Silnia lifted up Ella and her chair and put on a puzzled look.

“Can’t you hear the knocking?”

“Also? But there is no heavy rain.”

“… Is it. I think I heard it wrong.”

As if Silnia didn’t care, she turned around completely.

Both Ella and Hernan looked at Silnia with puzzled faces, but each had their own busy affairs.

The father and daughter both looked at the large wooden pole in the center of the garden and the family gathered in front of it.

* * *

Everyone noticed Ella as she climbed onto her chair, which Silnia had arranged for her.

“Hello, hello, hello everyone!”

When Ella caught everyone’s attention, she greeted them excitedly.
And she quickly ran through people.

Carine no longer looked at Ella, only glancing at Shafi and Potty.

Seeing that uneasy look, Ella took a deep breath and opened her mouth again.

“My dad and mom made this to grant Ella’s wish!”

Ella tapped her wooden pole and smiled broadly.

“But Ella, I don’t even remember what the wish was!”

Laughter flowed from everywhere.

Her father, who was a little further away, was also watching and smiling.

“Oh…”

Seeing that smile, Ella flinched at her moment of regret.

What I said awkwardly and embarrassed earlier.
Also sadly.
It was for this purpose that he deliberately asked for a magic stone.

In other words, she lied to her father.

However, Ella was determined to make sure that the hero did not hate the demon king and the demon king did not hate the hero.

I can’t help it if I get mad.

“So, Ella, I decided to make another wish come true!”

Her younger siblings watched her eldest with interest.
The adults closed their mouths in a slightly strange feeling and looked at Ella.

“Look at everyone!”

Now the hero and the demon lord too.
No, Karine and Sharpie were also fully focused on this side.

Ella was satisfied with that fact and spread her hands.
A blue magic stone that emitted a soft light came out of her hand.

“Ella wants to eat something special! She always eats what she always eats, so isn’t there something boring?”

“Does that look similar to Karine’s magic stone?”

After Silnia finished her speech, she fell silent for a moment.

“I’m sorry, Carine’s mom! In fact, Ella snuck in.”

“You… !”

“Uh?”

Carine and Potty looked at Ella with expressions of complete disapproval.

Then, from the table side, the sound of Hernán getting up hastily came.

“Ella!”

Was it because I was trying to wake up too soon?
Dad knocked over the table.

Thanks to this, Ella learns what her father has prepared for her.

-Shoot aaaaa

The stick on the table fell to the ground and the watering cans on the branches of the tree trunk tilted in unison.

The water that was filled with the watering can poured down toward the garden floor in the form of water droplets all at once.

“And…”

Come to think of it, she said she wanted to be in the rain before.
Ella felt the water trickle down her cheek, feeling even more sorry.

Then, she put her magic stone into her mouth.

It will be Ella’s fault that Carine lost with this.
Carine will be a bit scolded too, but she’ll tell you Ella stole from the start.

“Dangerous!”

“Sorry!”

In the falling rain, Ella smiled awkwardly as she watched her father come running.
She tried to swallow a gem that didn’t go over well.

However, the scene soon unfolded and stopped.

“Ella!”

“Everybody back off!”

Ella felt something was wrong with her.

It seemed that all of her adults were shocked to see Ella, or she even looked up above him.

In particular, her mother and father were more surprised.

“Ella! Come to Mom!”

“Uh… Ella, after eating this.”

“Hurry!”

At that moment, the sound of an explosion echoed above Ella’s head.

The sound of breaking glass followed.

Ella gently lifted her head.

Raindrops from the watering can were still falling toward the ground.

“Kurrrr!”

With the huge wolf that I only saw in books.

“Ella!”

The sound of her father’s voice shocked Ella.

“Magic Stone!”

The blue magic stone that she still couldn’t swallow came out of her mouth.

The dreamer’s daughter fainted as she felt regret.
