Chapter 234 – Outwit

“Amae…”

Amae, who called me Older brother and adored me. Who made you cry?

It’s obvious. It was me.

“Older brother… Liar… guh… Liar…”

If I win, we’ll play a lot.

I’ll save Jamdi’el and come back with everyone.

I made a lot of promises to her, and on top of that, she always worked her hardest with that little body, to raise her voice and move as much as she can…

– Fight on! Fure fure, older brother!

I made her cry, who believed in me and supported me.

Why didn’t I think of her?

If I had been a little more considerate of her before I left for the Heavenly World… Amae, who is more pure and innocent than anyone else… I wouldn’t have caused her so much grief.

And when I look at that face, I can’t help but think back to past days.

I was like that when I was a kid too…

―― No~, my bad Earth. I can’t go to the piano presentation today. I have urgent work to do…

――uugh, I’m sorry, Earth! I was supposed to make you a lunch box, but I just didn’t have time… I’ll ask Sadiz to do it! I’m so sorry!

They were busy people.

――N, no problem. Mom and dad are busy… and I don’t feel lonely at all! Sadiz’s lunch is better than mom’s! I like it that way, so I’m not sad at all!

―― Oh, how sweet of you, Earth! Let’s go shopping with your dad on my next day off! I’ll buy you whatever toy you like!

――Your mom will burst into tears! I’ll make it up to you! Mom will buy anything!

So, even if the schedule was vacant at first, it was not uncommon for their plans to change on short notice.

They looked really sorry, apologized many times, and hugged me.

Even when I tried to run away in embarrassment, they didn’t let go for a while, and we squirmed around.

And, as promised, the two of them made up for it by buying me a toy of my choice.

They just gave Sadiz the money, and I went shopping together with Sadiz…

At that time, no even before that, such things had happened many times.

But I wasn’t as twisted back then as I was in the academy, so I tried to be a good kid in my childhood.

But the truth is…

Gushu, Old, er brother… High Priestess… Goddess…”

I was like that too…

“…… I…”

『Child…』

“Damn, damn! Those damn parents… why…… at this point…are you making me…boomerang…”

At that time, if I had been an unreasonable child, I would have wanted to shout out my true feelings, like Amae shouted now.

And it’s directed at me.

Can I shake off those tears and cries… and go? No, can I go?

『Child… before doing anything foolish, let me say one thing.』

「Huh!?」

At that time, the moment I was confused in my heart, Tre’ainar told me, looking at the parents behind me.

『You have gotten stronger, but… for you ‘alone’ to outwit those two is… impossible. Even with my superfluous instruction, tis equivalent to Jamdi’el and Paripi… no, beyond that… you can do nothing against those two. Yes, for you ‘alone’… so…』

Tre’ainar always calmly and accurately analyzes the current situation.

That’s why Tre’ainar says that no matter what I try to do after this, if I take any action other than running away, my father and mother will catch me.

Yes, ‘I alone’ can’t do it.

I mean, if I do ‘something foolish’… but……

“Tch… Hiro… Mamu… I. I never imagined the sealing of my Heraldic Eyes would frustrate me so soon…”

Now that her Heraldic Eye and magic power are sealed, Jamdi’el can’t be counted as a fighting force.

In the first place, this was also an action to get Jamdi’el to escape.

If Jamdi’el gets caught here by my parents, all of this would have been for nothing.

But then…

「…… This is…… my family situation…but Amae…but…」

Yes, I mean, Tre’ainar is telling me that if I am to do anything, I’m going to have to involve Kron.

And then, to me…

『Tis not wrong to keep on straight ahead against the tears and cries of that little girl, in order to achieve the original purpose. Even if called a liar for breaking your promise to that little girl, tis merely the feelings of that little girl… however…』

「…… However?」

『At least… even if just a farewell and an apology… I do not believe tis wrong. Besides…… even if you broke your promise, for the time being, your parents apologized to you, did they not? On the other hand, if you run without apologizing for breaking your promise… less than that… now, what will you do?』

Assuming that it is up to me to decide, Tre’ainar asked me for a choice that I didn’t even have to think about.

Thanks to that, I found my own answer.

But……

「Kron can’t get involved… I’ll stop here… talk to Amae.」

『…… Hmm…… however, if that happens, you will probably be taken back by Hiro and Mamu… or rather…… do you want to have a heart-to-heart talk with Hiro and Mamu?』

「I don’t want to do that.」

『Why not?』

「It’s a matter of how I feel.」

『Hmmm, my oh my…』

「Still, I’m a kid, having a grown-up attitude towards those two… I’m not ready to do that. But…… running away without saying anything to Amae… I don’t want to be that kind of guy… even if it ends up making her cry… I have to say what I need to say!」

First of all, I tell my father and mother, “Shut up”, and let Amae and I talk.

I may not be forgiven, she may cry more, but I’ll apologize properly and hope that someday she will be able to meet Kron and Jamdi’el again… but it’s a high hurdle… if I break that promise, I really will be like my parents…

So, even if the conversation went well, I would say, “Then, I’ll be going! Talk to my parents? There’s nothing there,” and just run away.

Can I do it? I’m not sure about this.

But I have to do it.

I just can’t involve Kron in this situation…

“Earth!”

“Oh, yes? Kron?”

“Those two people with Amae seem to be Earth’s parents… but, we can’t let them catch us, can we?”

“Huh? Ah, ah, well…”

“If that’s the case, I think it would be better to greet Earth’s parents properly, and I would like to learn about the reason why Earth is not on good terms with them, but it seems that this is not the situation at the moment, so please leave that aside for a moment!”

Just as I was about to make up my mind, Kron asked as she turned to my parents.

“Can we ask they not catch us and then let us say goodbye to Amae?”

“Probably… impossible…”

“Lady Kron! That would be a quandary. More than anything, to those two… I…..and thee, cannot possibly be overlooked.”

Both me and Jamdi’el shook our heads at Kron’s question.

Yes, if that were possible, we wouldn’t have any trouble.

“In the first place, they are a muscle-brained duo that flew in without carefully listening to what Sadiz and Phianse had to say… and even if they did listen to me, I don’t think they’d let me off the hook …… in their current position.”

So I…

“Then here’s what we’ll do. Snatch Amae from those two, run away, and then slowly say goodbye to Amae and then… say sorry.”

“”…… Huh?””

“Prince, after that, please send Amae back to Cacretale, okay?”

“Oh, uh…?”

『Hoh~… Is that so?』

Kron’s suggestion stunned me, Jamdi’el, and the prince.

Only Tre’ainar was grinning somewhat happily.

“No, Kron? What… Besides, to take Amae from those two and run away…”

“Yes, that’s right. As Earth’s parents, they can’t fight seriously, but those two are very strong, aren’t they?”

“Well, they may be the strongest in the world…”

“Then let’s not fight, let’s not defeat them, let’s just bring Amae to us. Then let’s run away.”

“Huh?”

“Jamdi’el may not be able to move, but if Earth and I join forces, can’t we at least do that?”

Even though I thought I couldn’t get Kron involved, Kron came up with a proposal to get herself involved.

But that’s too much of a win…

“Kron. But if this gets you caught…”

“I know. I want to stay with Jamdi’el from now on. That’s why I left Cacretale. But…… I don’t think I can ignore those tears and let only myself and Jamdi’el escape! Even if I can’t live with Amae anymore and end up making Amae cry again, I want to wipe those tears from her face and say goodbye.”

Everything was a needless worry.

“Jamdi’el… I’m sorry for you, but…”

“Lady Kron… however…… should they discover that Lady Kron is the possessor of the Daybreak Eye, they will become even more…”

“We’ll handle it when it happens!”

“Oh… Lady Kron…”

Jamdi’el may be displeased, but even so, the current Jamdi’el can’t stop her by force.

Kron’s words are really messy, opportunistic, and selfish… Jamdi’el is going to have a hard time in the future… but……

“Heh, we’re the ones who made even that Dragon King of Hades roar, aren’t we? Why don’t we just take Amae away from those 30-year-old heroes!”

“Earth!”

I thought to myself, “I like this girl”.

Maybe she’ll be a great parent when she has kids…

“But no attacks, okay? Well, it’s not about those two, and it’s not about our attacks on them, either… Simply…… I’m worried for Amae.”

“Of course! The two of us join forces together and do our best!”

Frankly, I don’t think it’s okay if it’s just me and Kron alone… but…… this girl says she’ll do it of her own volition, so I don’t have to worry about that.

And…..

“Oh, you two? Boy. Goddess. A little desolate, aren’t thee?”

“Prince?!”

“I don’t really understand the circumstances, but… as a replacement for Jamdi’el’s eyes… I’ll make up for it.”

The prince also smiled as he lends his strength to me and Kron.

Two more magic eyes…

“I’m here too! I won’t allow you to leave wee Amae crying!”

Even the bloodline of the Dragon King of Hades.

And of course…

『Fufufu, most of all, Hiro and Mamu remain unaware that Kron and the Prince have magic eyes. Tis a good advantage. You may not win the battle, but… let us try to outwit those two for a moment. I also… have a personal grudge against them!』

The most reliable guy will lend me a hand.

The opponents are my parents. The goal is to get my little sister away from them.

『That said, I do not have a very detailed strategy. Surely the child is exhausted from the consecutive battles. So we shall go simple. The child and the prince are distractions… trap them with Kron’s Daybreak Eyes! If tis only for a moment, even they can leave an opening!』

What’s this…… it’s inappropriate… Amae is crying, but…Maybe I’m just a little excited.

Author’s Note

Gradually, the ban on business trips and overtime work related to corona is gradually being lifted, and from this week I’m busy dealing with the work that has accumulated, so updates will be a little irregular until early April. Even if I post meals on Twitter, please understand that I’m not just eating around and slacking off, I eat out a lot because I don’t have anyone to make it. Also, I haven’t bought Anial Crooing, so I won’t miss it!
