The Baby Raising A Devil-Novel

Chapter 251

TL: Zimmings

A month and 15 days after my father returned to the mansion.

After the final exam, I was resting in my room with Emeline when I suddenly heard a bird chirping outside the window. As I stepped on to the terrace, I saw a white pigeon circling in the air about three times above me.

‘He succeeded.’

That pigeon was a sign that everything went well.

“Pigeons in this day and age?”

Emeline shook her head and put the green grapes in her mouth.

“It’s because the freshmen can’t use communication devices.”

“Why don’t you just borrow it from your brothers?”

“The school’s communication device could be interrupted.”

“Is that so? So the devils were turned into angels?”

“I think so.”

“Dubblede is amazing. They even forged ancient documents quickly. I’m sure it’s Eugene Nos’ skill, right?

“Yes, Nos is an outstanding person.”

It was fortunate that we’re allies.

After saying that, I put a green grape in my mouth.

“Sweet! It’s delicious!”

“Of course. It’s the best fruit from Count Decal, who owns the largest farm on the continent. Count Decal sent me a lot of it for saving his only daughter, so eat as much as you want.”

Emeline glanced at the box full of fruits.

The parents and siblings of the students I saved in this battle sent me a lot of gifts and letters.

It was enough to rent the school’s warehouse because their gift couldn’t fit my room.

There were also families who sent me boxes full of gold bars.

“Gold bars are really expensive. I could have bought a mansion!”

At Emeline’s words, I shrugged.

“It’s not a gift of gratitude, it’s a bribe.”

“It’s a gift to a lady, who had great power. It’s a bribe to take a good care of their children”

“What…….”

Me and Emeline looked at each other in silence for a while, and at the same time covered our mouths with both hands and laughed.

Our kidnapping and the subjugation of monsters were terrible and unexpected, but as a result, I gained so much from it.

“Also, those kids who used to gossip about me entering the school as a commoner can’t say anything to me now! It’s because I’m close to you. Is this the joy of connections?”

“When Alan saw me, he ran away! He can’t even think of picking a fight.”

“He seemed to be more afraid of your family than you. Anyway, he must have been discouraged. He tried to lead the atmosphere by showing off as usual, but it didn’t work. How can he lead after the recent incident? Alan is going crazy now.”

“Even the priests couldn’t do anything.”

“The professor also kept fawning over me.”

“Ah, the taste Of power!”

We giggled wickedly. I plopped down on the sofa.

“Now, I just need to take care of Mina.”

“You haven’t talked to her yet?”

“She didn’t go to classes. She won’t even open the door to her room. Professor Sebastian (Professor in charge of class A) went to the dormitory, but she didn’t open the door.”

“That much?”

Emeline said as she rested her chin on her hand.

“Yoi can’t keep waiting for Mina.”

“I should visit her soon.”

“Yes. It’s vacation after you take the final exam, so you can talk to her after that.”

I nodded and got up.

“Eat dinner first. I’m going to be a little late.”

“See you. I’ll lock the door, so go first.”

I nodded and left the room.

Mina and I live in different dormitories. The freshman dormitory is divided into buildings 1 and 2, but only the basement dining room is shared, so the entrance to each building is far away.

I stopped walking.

‘Will it be okay if someone saw Mina and me talking alone?’

The thing that the temple is most concerned about recently was collusion with us. At the school, mamy temple’s spies are hidden all over the place, so if Mina and I talk, they will quickly get into the ears of the cardinals.

‘I’d better use the back door.’

Thinking that way, I entered a deserted hallway and headed for the road connected to the back door. When I could finally see a door from afar,

“Then, we’ll get going. I hope you will be in high spirits next time.”

“Yes, thank you for coming.”

It was Mina. She smiled helplessly, facing people I had never seen before. Looking at the situation, she seemed to be seeing off an outsider who visited her.

I inadvertently hid behind the bushes and peeped at them. Those people were wearing robes, it was an old man with gray hair and a tall man with a hood on his face.

‘That guy with gray hair looks familiar.’

He feels really familiar. As if I had seen him somewhere.

“I am worried that I may have bothered you.”

“No, I was happy to see you.”

“Then, we’ll get going now.”

As the old man bowed his head, Mina looked at the man wearing a hood.

“What you just said is true, right?”

“Of course.”

The voice of the man covered in a hood was very low.

‘It sounds like my dad or Uncle Taylor’s.’

Mina greeted them with a bright smile, and they soon left. Mina stared at where they disappeared and took something out of her school uniform pocket.

Bzzt-!

Surprised by the familiar vibration, I came out of the bushes. Mina, who saw me, opened her eyes wide.

“Leblaine? Why are you…”

“What is it?”

“… It’s from the temple.”

‘I’m sure. It’s the devil’s passage.’

When my expression hardened, Mina ruffled her hair as if she was tired.

“Let’s talk next time. I’m having a hard time-”

“Do you know what that is?”

Mina, who stared at me, bit her lips as if she were choosing her words.

“Yes, you should know it too. I don’t want to fool you. This is the passage to another world.”

“No! That’s-”

“You mean the devil’s passage?”

“…… What?”

“I know. Even the temple knows that you used the devil’s power. But in this world, the distinction between devils and angels is not clear.”

She’s right.

Some people regard devils as angels, just as Duke Vallia regarded Glasalabolas as an angel.

It seemed that the temple

intervened with history and defined the pioneers who chose Neliard as angels and the pioneers who chose evil God as devils. That’s why it wasn’t difficult to say that Boone was an angel.

“Take it back to the temple.”

“……No.”

“Mina, do you know why they gave it to you?”

Mina, who gripped the devil’s passage tightly, bowed her head.

“I know. I know…”

“I’m sure you’re thinking about that. But the most important thing is…”

“Are you scared?”

“What did you say?

“Is it really like what the temple says? Are you trying to push me away because you’re scared that if I’m stronger than you, I’ll be your opponent?”

Mina burst into cynical laughter and clenched her fist tightly.

“The temple said they were sorry for giving me power from another world. This is because I will surely carry the burden that God has placed on me. But the reason I have no choice but not to give you this power is because I can’t be sure that you are the savior from God. In any case, my strength will be desperately needed.”

“…….”

“Leblaine, I saw you in a dream. I couldn’t speak because no one in my world understood me, but still, I-”

“…….”

“I love you sister.”

What I heard from her in my first life came to mind.

Leblaine, who was still a fool, said nothing at that time, but I covered myself in a blanket and cried all night that day.

Because my life, which was worthless, became meaningful because of her words.

I clearly remember the day when I was so happy and thrilled to be her older sister.

I had many reasons to hate her. But in the end, there’s a reason why I couldn’t hate her sincerely.

I love her, who is my younger sister, sincerely.

“That’s why I’m telling you to return it to the temple, Mina. Do you think the temple really gave it to you to keep me in check because they were afraid I was a fake? No,that’s your shackle.”

“…….”

“The fact that the distinction between an angel and a devil is not clear means that even if you call an angel, you can turn it into a devil!”

I looked straight at Mina and said that.

“If you defeat me because you’re the real one, do you think it’s over? They are the ones who use the angel you summoned by turning them into demons! You will eventually be used in the world they want.”

“I know I’m stupid. You think I’m stupid. Even in my world, I’ve heard a lot that I’m a delusional fool. But Leblaine…….”

“…….”

“Even though I’m stupid… I like this world. I could endure loneliness because of that dream. I have the world’s most righteous father, siblings, loved ones, and friends who share the same beliefs as me… everyone was here.”

On her cheek, tears began to drop.

It was strange that I’m the one who can understand her best. Because this life was so precious to me too.

“That’s what the temple said. You’ll try to persuade me with those words.”

Mina cried and held my hand.

“Leblaine, please let me trust you. I want you to…”

“What if the peace they believe in comes only when I die?”

Mina’s calm expression was reflected in my eyes. Her expression became cold.

“If I were you, I would happily die for this world. And I’m sure you’re the same. That’s what I believe.”

I realized. Our beliefs were at the opposite end, and in the end, we could never hold hands.

She suddenly pulled my arm, and I lost my balance.

“Leblaine-”

At that time, the amethyst came out of my pocket. The passage in Mina’s hand also fell down, and the two passages overlapped.

Soon,

Boom!

We were engulfed in the light.

And when I open my eyes, I…….

“It huwts! Huh?”(It hurts! Huh?)

… could see a child.

‘What is this?’
