## Chapter 1627 – Chronicles of the Black Haired Foreigner – Heavenly Demon Children

“…!”

Of course, if they were reasonable enough to understand my words, I wouldn’t have brought this up in the first place. Despite everything, this rebellious Titan brat couldn’t hide his animosity towards me, his body trembling.

“This Heavenly Demon has personally answered. Do you still have complaints, Titan brat?”

Clearly, their curriculum here includes the history of the Titans and their destruction.

“Do you truly feel no remorse for killing all the Titans…!”
“Hehehe, of course not.”

Their resentment and hatred mean nothing to me. If Titans like them were to appear again, I would do the same thing all over again.

I only spared them because they were minors, and since I took them in, I’ll raise them. If they cause trouble in society later, they’ll be punished without mercy.

“Even if the same thing happened again, I would massacre without hesitation. Our little one should be grateful for surviving, shouldn’t he? I’m letting it slide because it’s coming from a kid, but if you were an adult, you would’ve been beaten to a pulp, you little shit.”
“…”

With that, he completely hung his head.

“Director.”
“…Yes.”
“What do you think will happen if children with such great hatred go out into society later?”
“T-They might become criminals.”
“Indeed? But know that there is no place for Titans in the sugarcane field.”
“…I will educate them well.”
“Do so. That is the way to save those big children.”

I am not responsible for these children’s lives, or rather, since they’re Titans, their births. I’ll just do what needs to be done.

Well, let’s wrap up the tour of the Titan education facility.

* * *

“Mother, I heard Father is a legendary hero.”
“Ah, that’s right.”

Cadia smiled gently, stroking Dielle’s head as she replied.

“In fact, he’s a being who transcends the concept of a legendary hero. Your father, Cadielle, is the sole savior and, above all, the most powerful absolute god. He can’t even be compared to the word ‘hero.’ It’s too much of an understatement.”
“…I see.”

Dielle, who had been talking to Cadia, looked at me.

And then.

“But why does a father like that enjoy sticking to the walls on all fours like that?”

She hid behind her mother, saying those words as if she were scared. That little rascal. Does she think she can escape by hiding like that?

Still so cute.

Thinking about Cadia being like that when she was young warms my heart. It’s completely different from the charismatic female superior vibe Cadia has now.

“…”

Anyway, Cadia fell silent after hearing Dielle’s words.

“That is…”

And she stared intently at me.

Why?

What is with that look?

“Saaaah…”

Embarrassed, I made a “saaaah” sound as I slowly crawled along the wall and ceiling like a gecko.

Here’s an important fact.

Heavenly Demon Kim Kat is stronger than anyone. He is transcendent. He is great and divine. He is a being that cannot be compared to anything else. But when playing with his child like this, he can become a gecko monster as much as he wants.

That is my pride.

No matter how great a being is, I want to be a fun dad to my child.

“…This is pathetic.”

Cadia ran a hand over her face.

“Ah, why?”
“This Saintess wanted to educate Cadielle about her father’s authority.”
“Is there a need to show a child a father’s authoritative side? Cadia. I don’t want to grow distant from my child. An authoritative dad is bound to grow distant from their kids.”

I can’t bear such a future.

My children being afraid of me?
Just imagining it is horrifying.

I always felt unreasonable emotions and discomfort whenever I saw my father, Kim Mal-soo, when I was young. I didn’t really want to talk to him, and I didn’t want to stand out.

That was all because my father, Kim Mal-soo, always made me do strange things and used violence against me.

So I thought.

It would have been nice if my father had been a good and fun person instead of such a strange and eccentric person. I didn’t want to be like Kim Mal-soo to my children…

“A dad who plays well with his kids is the best. I don’t want to grow distant from my kids, Cadia.”
“If we’re talking about growing distant, I think a father who crawls on the wall on all fours is the same.”
“But I can still crawl towards my child.”
“That makes absolutely no sense! Get down here right now!”
“Okay.”

I immediately came down from the wall.

“Haa. I came to see how you were playing with Cadielle. I should have known it would be the same as always.”
“Hehehe, but it was a good time, right? Dielle?”
“Yes, yes… It was a good time.”
“Hey, Dielle! Why is your reaction so lukewarm! Dad is hurt?!”

Why are you saying it in such a reluctant tone!

“…”

Dielle hid behind Cadia!

Oh no!

“That’s right. Come to Mommy’s arms.”

Cadia embraced Dielle!
I want to be embraced too!

“Dielle. Has Dad become unlikeable…?”

I asked Dielle first, but Dielle, still in Cadia’s arms, looked at me and mumbled for a moment. And then she said.

“I… I don’t really know.”
“What, what did you say?!”
“I like Dad.”
“Then?”
“But when you transform into a monster, it’s scary. I want to hide because I’m scared.”

That means she likes me normally.
But don’t all the other kids feel that way?

“T-That’s… I want to hide…”

But right now, Dielle didn’t seem to be just talking about fear. She seemed to have some worries inside.

“But what I’m worried about isn’t that…”

So she does have worries?

I immediately sent a telepathic message to Cadia, saying that Dielle seemed to have some worries.

Cadia, having received the message, immediately stroked Dielle’s face and said.

“Cadielle? Do you have any worries? If it’s not something you can’t tell your mother, I’d like you to tell me.”
“…Yes.”

So she does have worries.

“My worry is…”

I focus on Dielle’s story.

“What I’ve learned from reading and hearing about… is too different from Father.”

Books?

“Wait, Dielle? How is Dad written about in books?”
“It says you’re a faithful hero who has defeated countless demons, heretics, and criminals.”
“That’s me.”
“Huh?”

Dielle tilted her head.
What’s with this reaction?

“Cadia. That’s me, right?”
“…I can’t deny it. It’s true.”

Even Cadia acknowledges it, but Dielle has an unconvincing look on her face.

“And Father defeated the evil Lich too. A terrible villain who covered the sky in darkness.”
“Hehehe, that all happened before our Dielle was born. That’s right. This dad defeated that evil Lich. And thus, the sky was restored.”
“…”
“Why? Is it a little hard to understand?”

She has exactly that kind of face.

—Nod nod.

Dielle nodded and said.

“Yes. It’s a little hard to understand. The father I’ve seen is just someone who crawls on the wall on all fours.”
“What?!”

Could it be that the Kim Kat described in the biography is different from the real father, causing some confusion due to the gap?

“Cadielle.”
“Cadia. Wait a minute. I’ll talk to her.”
“Alright.”

Dielle isn’t at an age to have these kinds of worries. She’s only about two years old. She should just be running around mindlessly, but she’s worrying about her father.

Is it because Cadia raised her?

Her head is a bit bigger compared to her peers.

“Dielle. Can you come to Dad?”
“…Yes.”

Dielle came to me from Cadia’s arms. I sat down in front of Dielle.

“Dielle. Here. Sit on Dad’s lap.”
“I’m sitting.”

I hugged Dielle, who was sitting right on my lap, and said.

“Hehehe, our Dielle. You were worried about that? That Dad’s appearance in the book is different from the Dad Dielle has seen here?”
“…”

—Nod nod.

Dielle nodded.

“Dielle, what do you want Dad to be like?”
“…I want…”

I quietly listen to her.

“I want Father to be a little cooler. Like he was in the book.”
“Wow. The book. Was he that cool? The dad in the book?”
“Yes.”

That’s all me, though.

“Hehehe, that’s who Dad is, though. Dielle. Can Dad be any cooler than this? Dad is already a man who runs to the extreme of coolness.”
“Crawling on the wall on all fours isn’t cool.”
“The focus was on that.”

Anyway.

People don’t have just one side to them.

My achievements written in the biography are all definitely true. I’ve killed so many. I’ve solved most things by killing enemies.

In this world, that was a heroic thing. I was on the fast track to success, and after this and that, I defeated the great evil and ascended.

It’s a proud thing.

But at the same time, it’s also a brutal thing. Crushing my enemies. Tearing them apart and killing them. Grinding them to dust. It’s a cool and beautiful thing to me, but it’s not a story to tell a two-year-old.

Home is not a battlefield.

Even though I’ve been called berserker or murder bard, there’s no need to be like that at home.

“Cadia. What should I do? Dielle doesn’t know anything about my swagger. This is so unfair.”
“It’s all just karma. Isn’t that what you’ve been showing all this time?”
“Ah, really. Still.”

As I said that.

“Hmm… Certainly.”

Cadia stroked her lips.

“For our daughter, Cadielle, not to know your great appearance. This is a more unfair feeling than I imagined.”
“Right? It’s unfair, right?”
“Ah, that’s right…! I can’t be this unfair!”

Cadia is even more upset.

“That’s why this Saintess wanted to show Cadielle her father’s great appearance! But all you do is climb the wall on all fours! It’s so unfair that it’s even more unfair! The child doesn’t know what she should know!”

There’s no room for excuses!

“Uh, Mother?”

Dielle was flustered as Cadia shouted loudly.

“Cadielle. Your father isn’t just a man who is overly cheerful like that. He’s usually a cheerful and fun man, but… when the time comes, he acts exactly as he does in the biography.”

That’s what Cadia thinks of me!

“More thoroughly and coldly than anyone else. And so he was an unparalleled hero and the only warrior of mankind. And now he is a transcendent god and emperor. Cadielle. Your father is such an existence.”
“…I know that.”

Dielle nodded.

“Father is a god and emperor. I know that too. But I haven’t seen it myself, so I can’t really accept it…”

—Swish.

As she said that, Dielle looked at me.

She can’t accept it because she hasn’t seen it herself.

“Then.”

I’ll have to show her to convince her.
