Chapter 260 – Chapter 260

You only need to convince Caisis.
As long as he solves it, everything is okay. Of course I thought so.

It was a very natural flow of thought.
That will be too.

Even Miho, who was somewhat rebellious at first, eventually had no choice but to rely on me as her protector of her.
Needless to say Noah, who called me daddy from the start and rushed at me.

Apparently, the existence of ‘a child who is in a state of being unable to achieve anything on his own’ had no choice but to depend on and be led by the guardian in the end.
So usually when a child does something wrong, he curses at the parent or talks to the parent.

‘Considering that Kaisis hasn’t killed anyone so far, he definitely doesn’t take my words lightly or ignore them. I’m sure I’ll be able to raise Hestia well if I just check in between.’

It’s sloped, it’s sloped
… Hestia, who will appear in front of us soon, was eating her heart her to kindly welcome her child her.

[I am being summoned now!]

Just like Miho and Noah appeared before me.
At the same time as the dimensional door opened, a small being appeared from within.

It was a very small entity.

Considering that he was the same age as Miho and Noah, he was a child with a petite body.

[The dwarf race itself is originally like that.]
[The name of the word Dwarf (dwarf) itself originally has the meaning of a dwarf. Most of all, instead of being born as dwarfs, they are born with excellent manual dexterity, blacksmithing skills, and above all, the blessing of strength.]
[Hestia was born as a dwarf, but she did not receive the blessing of power.]

Why?

[I don’t know that in detail, but there must be a reason.]

Well, it was enough to slowly find out what the reason was.

Rather, calming down the child who would have been taken aback by the sudden summons…

“What are you guys? Where are you?”
“…”
“Hoo? He’s a pretty funny kid, isn’t he?”

Hestia, who looked good with her short black hair, was not at all taken aback by her sudden summons her.
She was just very wary of us and was calm and aware of the situation.

I was taken back by such coldness.
Caisis seemed rather interested in this, though.

‘What kind of child would he look like this?’

Miho and Noah were also quite mature compared to children their age.

[And Miho too?]

“…”

Especially when you see Noah.

Children who grew up in difficult, difficult, and painful ways had no choice but to become adults faster than anyone else for the purpose of “To live.”
That is to say, iron wears out quickly.

Noah has also had a very difficult life, and that has resulted in trauma… It was to the extent that even compared to a decent adult right now, she felt more sophisticated.

However, there was a child who was more mature than Noah.
Right in front of my eyes.

“I was obviously cleaning the bathroom. Are you here when you suddenly open your eyes? Abduction by humans? Ha, if that’s the case, just kill it. Trash like me is so worthless that I can’t even sell it for money.”
Haha, this kid is pretty funny, right?”

Kaisis was bursting into laughter as if he was satisfied with Hestia’s unexpected reaction to her, but I was really shocked to the point of dizziness.

I don’t know if it was before.

As a father of two children, Miho and Noah, it was all the more so because he was at an age where he knew the preciousness and beauty of his daughter her.
How could such a child come out of the mouth saying that I would rather kill myself, that I am worthless garbage.
It was an unimaginable sight now.

“It’s not like that, so let’s calm down.”
“Why don’t you calm down, Mister? I am cold.”
“…”

That’s right.

Surprisingly, I was the least cool here. Kaisis and Hestia are there as well… I was making a fuss by myself.

But, anyway… This…

“Certainly, I wouldn’t fit in as your daughter. This bitch feels just like me.”
“What are you human again? Will you kill me?”
“Puhaha, I can kill you if you want. However, on the contrary, it can protect and nurture you. How are you, what do you want? Kid.”

I naturally assumed that Hestia would accept Kaisis’ proposal of hers.

Then, in my own way, I was relieved, and I had hoped that my cold-heartedness would collapse a little, and that a child-like image would emerge.

However, the answer that came out of Hestia’s mouth exceeded my expectations this time as well.

“You sound like a guardian. I don’t need anything like that.”

It’s okay to re-sprinkle it on finished rice.
I screamed in amazement.

“No need? It can’t be. Hey, this kid You say what you can do alone! If an adult like Caisis stepped forward and said he would protect them, it wouldn’t be enough to just say thank you.”
“What are you, nosy? And is there any guarantee that this red hair will grow me right? If you’re going to sound like a promise, fuck it. I don’t trust anyone anymore Do you think I’ve been betrayed once or twice for trusting bastards like you!”

Hestia gave a kick and a self-deprecating laugh.
It was such a sad smile that I couldn’t see Miho and Noah’s age at all.

“In the first place, I, who was abandoned and betrayed by my parents, who do I trust?”
“…”

I couldn’t bear to say something comforting to Hestia. I can’t bear to think of the plausible words that usually pop out well this time.

Hestia’s words her were so sad and shocking.

That’s right.

Even if all other beings betray us, parents are supposed to trust and love their children.
Who should a child abandoned by such parents trust?

‘Even… It’s too late.’

I don’t know if it was the time when Irene wanted to bring her first her.
During the time I took care of Miho and Noah, Hestia must have carved bigger scars one after another in her already scarred heart her.

– I don’t trust anyone.
– There is no hope in life.
-I just live because I can’t die, I’m ready to die anytime.

Hestia’s eyes and attitude her were exactly the same.
If I had to give an analogy… It felt like watching a person right before jumping into the Han River. A person who could not stand the hardships of the world and chose suicide was just like that.

‘How can I heal that child’s wounds?’

She didn’t have the confidence to do what she did to Miho and Noah.
No, more than that, how did Miho and Noah make them the way they are now?

“…”

Conversely, I was more embarrassed and my hair turned white.
I thought I had accumulated experience, but on the contrary, I feel more stupid than when I didn’t know Miho and Noah.
It was in the meantime.

Kaisis hardened her expression for the first time and asked Hestia in a commanding voice.

“Do you really want to die?”
“Okay… Anyway, I’ve already eaten. I can’t do anything, and I’m trash that was abandoned even by my real parents. What can I do There’s nothing I can do anyway, and it’s so miserable that it’s better to die than to live.”
“It is a lie.”
“… What? I’m really dead… Ugh!”

Kaisis suddenly grabbed Hestia by the collar and lifted her up.
When I saw that, I was started and tried to scream, but Kaisis raised a hand and forcibly sealed my mouth.

“Eup, ugh!”
“As a friend, I know you’re worried, but you better get away with this. After all, this year’s guardian is me, right? So just keep an eye on it.”
“…”

After saying that, Kaisis didn’t care whether Hestia could breathe or not, and gave more strength to her hand to her that gripped her by the collar, and faced the little child’s dead eyes her with her own eyes directly in front of her. She did.

“How do you know? Because your eyes are not the eyes of a guy who wants to die.”
“… Cool, what are you… Know. How much i… I live hard… Oh come, how hard every day is… I know it was painful… Ah?”
“I don’t need to know that. Don’t be fooled by the bastard who said he wanted to die.”
“… !”
“You lost all of your privileges as a child the moment you said such a cheeky thing in front of me and my friend. Do you know who I am? I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of my name.”

Caisis told me his full name.

“Kaisis Elden Kaiser.”
“… !”

Hearing that name, Hestia’s eyes widened for the first time.

“Choi… The Dragon of Evil… Representative of the gods… At the same time, forever…”
“… Master of solitude. Hehe,haha! You little bastard, you know me better than most guys. Yes, I rebelled against the goddess because I wanted to commit suicide, but in reverse, I was given a new life as if I were receiving a gift from my mother.”
“…”
“Little boy, how long have you lived? Have you outlived me, who is over 3,000 years old?”
“No…”

Caisis slowly lowered Hestia to the floor.

“Then were you more lonely than me?”
“No…”
“Can someone like you dare to be confident that you wanted to die more than me?”

At that moment, Hestia couldn’t stand it and dropped her head.
Then, clenching her fists and clutching the tattered hem of her own tattered dress, her tears began to fall.

From my point of view watching it from the side, my heart hurt as if it would break, so I wanted to stop even here.
Kaisis, on the contrary, brushed off such Hestia.

“Answer me. I asked if you could be confident that someone like you dared to die more than me.”
“… Black, uh…”
“Answer me. If you really don’t want to upset me.”
“Oh, no… Whoa, no! Whoa, sorry, sorry. I’m sorry… I’m cocky. I don’t want to die…”

When Hestia burst into tears, Caisis erased her intimidation and smiled as if she had finally gotten what she wanted.

“So you said. Your bitch is not the eyes of a man who wants to die. Above all, a guy who really wants to die doesn’t talk about himself in front of anyone. Who really wants to die… He quietly creates situations in which he will die.”

Ah…
At that moment, I could understand what Kaisis was saying.

When I went to meet him with the Goddess of Fire, Caisis had launched an attack that would not work anyway before being overpowered.

It’s not an attack to defeat the Fire Goddess…

… It was an attack to kill himself.

On the contrary, Caisis, who had been subdued once, vomited out his resentment in front of me.
Then I became friends with this guy.

“What is it like being abandoned by your parents? If that’s the case, it’s like I was abandoned as soon as I was born by parents who don’t know how many. Anyway, parents don’t replace your life for four years. The same goes for me.”
“Ha, but still… Black, uh… Because I can’t do anything by myself… I need parents just like any other kid, but my parents abandoned me. So, what should I do now? How should I live until I become an adult! My body is so small… What should I do…”

It was a very heartbreaking confession.
Being a child who had already become an adult mentally, Hestia was even more confused.

Her own body her is still a child, only her head her has become an adult.

What a child like that needs may not be a human like me anymore.
Rather, what a child like that needs…

“I will grow you. Promise on my name Kaisis Alden Kaiser, I promise to swear on my name, the one and only one in this dimension. Until you safely become an adult, I will always be by your side.”

Absolute presence.

An existence that is like the law of the world that is absolutely unshakable.

At the same time, only Kaisis, who understood Hestia’s sense of alienation and all other emotions and had experienced the same, could protect Hestia.

“Huh ahhhhh. … !”

Seeing Hestia then burst into tears, clinging to Caisis like a child, I had no choice but to admit that ‘destiny’ had met this time as well.

‘What do I want to raise? …’

For a moment, I almost made a big mistake by being arrogant as if I had become something.
Children have options, too, and there are parents who are suitable for them.

In that sense, looking at Kaisis, who smiled uncharacteristically, and Hestia, who cried even more clinging to such Kaisis, made me think of this.

Hestia chose Kaisis, and Kaisis chose Hestia.
That it fits so well

At least, looking at the two of them now, I was convinced that the words I made up and circulated earlier were not lies.

Caisis will definitely change.
In a much better way than now.
