Chapter 158 – 158. Persuasion

After escaping from the basement of the imperial palace and being guided by her maid, he asked the people who followed him straight away.

“I have a place to go now…… What are you two going to do?”
“I have to follow…… I don’t know about him, but I came along to escort you.”
“—As she said, I have work to do.”

She had been away for decades, and Makina had said that she no longer needed the help of her witches—Adelheit thought she would just retire.

If she retires, she will be able to get the salary and pension she hasn’t received in decades.

What if she doesn’t get it? It can’t be. For in all her country her, Makina was not her fool her enough to pretend to be with her to save her her little pennies her.

“Come to me when you finish your work. Enough then.”

While Adelheit was sent away, John, who was left alone with Hecaterina, began to wander around the entrance of the imperial palace.

Hecaterina, wondering what the man was doing, shook her head when she saw the woman who appeared shortly after.

“—Did you wait?”
“No, we just got out.”

Looking at Aris who had changed into her private clothes before he knew it, Yohan swallowed her saliva. He looks surprisingly similar to the Elesis he knew.

Even if it was n’t clear that she was her own granddaughter of her, it was clear that she was Elesis’s granddaughter–John quietly nodded her head and put her in front of her.

“Shall we go?”
“Yes.”

Gently, John, who brushed away his nervous heart his, followed Aris to the city center.

To the place where his daughter his, who is decades old, lives.

* * *

Ecliptic.

It was surprisingly similar to the Earth John lived on, except that there were no smartphones in people’s hands.

People walking the streets were heading somewhere in neat suits, and in the meantime, they threw blatant glances at Hecaterina and Elesis.

If John hadn’t been caught between the two of them, he would have been talking to them to seduce them.

While Yohann, who felt a bit of nostalgia, slightly raised the corner of his mouth his, Aris took Yohann and headed for a building in the middle of the city.

“Here.”
“I live in a nice place.”
“Because her grandmother she was rich. What did they say Contributing to the founding?”

Elesis has a history of defeating John, witches, and monsters who tried to destroy the world.

Not only that, she was also a saint on the battlefield who stabilized people who were psychologically unstable and spread religion.

The reason she was able to live with such hospitality without being persecuted was probably thanks to Makina, who decided that way was more reasonable.

‘Something is different…….’

It seemed that the rational and mechanical Makina would carry out iron-blooded politics without blood or tears, but in reality she did not.

Her superhuman her, who judged even her own desires to be irrational and managed to control them, was rather an existence specialized in internal affairs of the country.

A madman who filled her vassals with clones of herself to prevent the birth of other useless powers. She cannot impoverish her country needlessly.

‘No, that’s not it again.’

Perhaps if she had a machine she wanted to make, she would try it even if it ruined the country. It’s just that there are more machines that can be made while running the country properly than machines that can be made while destroying the country.

Because she wasn’t a human who lived for a day or two, a year or two———she was a witch who felt that even hundreds and thousands of years were short.

“—I’m here, this is my house.”
“Ah…”

Arriving at a large building, Aris entered the building casually. John lightly passed the guards standing guard in the lobby on the first floor and climbed into the elevator.

It felt like I was in America in the 1980s and 90s. Even in a very luxurious hotel.

Ding-! The elevator stopped, and Aris got off the floor with Yohan. It was a needlessly large building, but there were only four rooms on this floor.

“Would you like to have a mother…….”

Aris opened the door and went inside, sniffed the smell wafting from her house, and then she looked back at John and smiled.

“It’s nice, I think mom is here.”
“You can tell by smell?”
“This smell is because my mom’s cooking smell.”

Saying that, Aris stopped John at the entrance and went inside first to talk about this and that with his mother her.

It was the voice of a woman coming from inside the house, a voice resembling an older Elesis. Her granddaughter does n’t even resemble her voice her.

“Come in.”

She talked with her mother her, and with her permission her, Aris called John inside. John changed her shoes into slippers and went inside.

From the inside, there was a sweet smell that he had smelled a lot, but Yohan realized that it was Elesis ‘favorite soup her.

“—Welcome. Do you have something to do with me?”

Alice’s mother, Elesis’ daughter. So-her own daughter her had asked.

Yohan looked at his daughter’s older-looking face and bruised for a while, then whispered to Aris.

“…… Didn’t you tell me?”
“She thinks that might be her grandfather her? Tell me how…….”
“Okay then what can I say?”

I didn’t think I would easily believe it just because I said it, but…… John opened his mouth and looked at his daughter.

She resembles Elesis and herself half and half. It was fortunate that she resembled her mother her more. To be honest, she wasn’t very good looking herself.

On the other hand, when Elesis saw her for the first time, she was so beautiful that she could be misunderstood as an aristocratic lady.

Hmmmm, I coughed and looked at her daughter-in-law her, she tilted her head and wondered what was going on.

“So… The name?”
“This is Alice. Didn’t I have something to see?”
“—To be precise, she has business with Elesis, not you.”

Upon hearing John’s words, Ellis put on an expression that she couldn’t understand. What business did this young man have with my long-dead mother?

And even if you have something to see, you’re using bad language to my mother, who is much older than me? If it hadn’t been for my daughter, she would have yelled at her and kicked her out right away.

“…… What to do with my mother?”
“Oh, well. So…… I don’t know if this is it…….”

I am your father
John carefully put that one word into his mouth his.
Ellis, hearing John’s words of her, blinked as if she could n’t understand.

“I beg your pardon……?”
“I am your father.”
“…… For you to suddenly play a prank like this, there is a line that must be followed even in a joke. Aris, I’m disappointed. Bringing someone like this—”

Naturally, Elis heard John’s words and immediately began to heat up. Now, if her daughter her and someone who seemed to be the same age as hers her claimed to be her father her, who had n’t seen a single hair in decades, it would n’t be strange if her twin lust her came first.

Anyway, Yohan, who was in crisis, asked Aris for her aid her with her eyes her, and after Aris let out a sigh, she began to stop her mother her.

“Mom, calm down. Maybe it’s real.”
“Aris you! Daddy, you know very well that your mom doesn’t have a daddy! It’s absurd to have appeared after decades, but what kind of father is such a young kid—”

“Can you stop whining?”

And at that moment, Hecate Lina appeared, who had entered her house with John and was looking around the house.

Hearing the sudden appearance of Hecaterina and her rude words her, Elise, as if she could n’t stand it any longer, took the cooking utensils that could be used as weapons and stepped forward from the kitchen.

“These are the real—.”
“What, with that one blow?”

Hecaterina grinned and immediately transformed into a monster. Seeing the little girl turn into a monster right in front of her eyes, Elise let out a groan, and eventually she passed out.

“Mom!”

Aris, who caught her collapsing mother her, checked the state of her fainting Alice, and picked her up as she was.

“…… I passed out.”
“Ha…”
“I’ll put it on the bed and come back.”

While watching Aris leave with Alice, Johann glared fiercely at Hecaterina, who had fainted her daughter-in-law.

However, Hecaterina looked at John with a confident expression and began to snort at her.

“Why? What?”
“…… Be gentle next time.”
“Look at what they are doing.”

Hearing Hecaterina’s words her, Johann’s hands her trembled, but when he realized that he could not do her any harm, he let go of her anger her.

It wasn’t that she fainted her daughter for nothing. In front of her own daughters, she knew that she couldn’t do her harm—her Hecaterina’s scalpel nature had come out.

‘Let’s go back and see.’

John, who was so determined, fainted and remembered her fallen daughter, and thought about how he could convince her.

Frankly, it wasn’t easy.
