Chapter 514 – Gaiden 17) Young Hero (6)
Gaiden 17) Young Hero (6)
“Sniff…”
“…”
I was able to go home right away through a special psychic power that allows me to move in space, [Bifrost], But I didn’t.
It was so sad that I had let me down because Rachel was wiping away her tears. Even if she went home in this state, it didn’t seem like Rachel would stop crying.
‘Was I too harsh?’
Seeing Rachel sobbing made my heart ache as if it would break. My heart beats.
But I couldn’t help it. It was quite risky for young Rachel to fight villains while acting as a young hero.
If a child does something wrong, she should be punished severely. That way, even when the child becomes an adult later, he can become a good adult.
If you don’t do it, there is a high possibility that you will become crooked later. Look at these bastards who use their young age as a weapon to deviate. Aren’t they continuing to do their own thing because they see them as young people?
Regardless of your age or gender, you have to let them know that if you commit adultery, you will be beaten, so that you will not commit adultery when you grow up. Of course, though, the tough-ass bastard would do the same thing.
‘But there’s no way our Rachel, who is the cutest, nicest, prettiest, and smartest in the world, would do anything stupid, right?’
Then I think I can comfort Rachel now.
“Rachel. Shall we sit over there and rest for a while?”
“…Sniff! Yes…”
I took Rachel and sat down on a nearby bench. She took her drink from her inventory and put it in her Rachel’s hand.
“Do you hate your father?”
“No. Just… I’m sorry…”
When asked if she hated me, Rachel shook her head.
Contrary to what I scolded, Rachel, along with her friends, performed satisfactorily as a young hero. So, from Rachel’s point of view, it would have been unfair to be scolded like this.
But Rachel wasn’t upset at all. I was sorry, I was sorry, I didn’t know what to do. She is my daughter, but Rachel is such a nice girl.
“Do you know why Daddy was disappointed in you?”
“…Weak, but fighting villains with her friends.”
“That’s right, Rachel, because you acted so risky while I was away.”
“…”
“Up until now, you’ve only been lucky. If you fought a really bad, strong villain… Daddy wouldn’t have seen Rachel now. And he’s very upset that he can’t see Rachel anymore, that he couldn’t protect you. You must have. Don’t you know how scary it is when Dad gets angry?”
Cock-!
“… Phu-heung! Hee-hee!”
I stabbed the downcast Rachel’s side. Rachel laughed at her because she was the type to tickle her a lot.
“Rachel.”
“Your father.”
“Why do you want to be a hero? To be honest, being a hero is hard. You have to fight villains every day, you have to save people, and if you damage property, you get scolded by the citizens… You don’t need it, because you have a dad.
I’m the richest person in Dark City. We can let our Rachel live her life full of everything she deserves.
Honestly, I could buy a whole penthouse right now. She just doesn’t do it because Emily doesn’t want it.
“…”
At my question, Rachel looked up at me. My daughter, who wouldn’t hurt to put it in her eyes, pursed her lips.
“Because my dad is a hero.”
“… I?”
She was taken aback by the completely unexpected answer. No, I’m a villain, so why am I a hero?
“Isn’t Daddy a hero?”
I couldn’t say ‘I’m not a hero, I’m a villain!’
I’ve been talking about how dangerous villains are until now, but suddenly I’m the villain here? Ugh… Just imagining it is horrific. I feel so embarrassed that I want to hide in a rat hole!
So he only said he wasn’t a hero, but Rachel had a different idea.
“No. Dad is a hero.”
“Why am I a hero?”
“You saved me.”
“…”
“My dad has saved me many times so far. If I was in danger, he was always the first to come to me. People might call him a villain, but… He was always a hero to me.”
“This.”
Rachel’s words touched me. Her heart was filled with happiness.
I tried to soothe the crying Rachel, but I was moved by her and threw it away. She’s my daughter, but isn’t she just too lovely?
‘Oh my gosh…’
It was hard for Rachel to tell me not to do it because it was so dangerous.
After all, it was strange that she told Rachel that she shouldn’t do young hero activities. I tell the women I love to do whatever they want to do. If you need anything, we support you with anything.
Even if what my girls want to do is dangerous, I have the mindset that I can protect them.
But telling Rachel not to do it because it’s dangerous!
This is a violation of the principles I have followed so far.
“… Rachel.”
“Your father.”
“It will be very difficult.”
“Yes?”
Rachel, still not understanding what I meant, tilted her head. She said, smiling at Rachel.
“Dad’s teaching is different from that of the academy professors. If you can’t keep up with my class, you’ll be banned from being a young hero until you grow up. Okay?”
“… Hmm! Hhhhh! Thanks Dad!”
Only then did she understand what I was saying, and as Rachel burst into tears, she hugged me tightly. Oops… Made her daughter cry again.
“And in the future, when I’m promoting as a young hero, my dad will always be with me. Okay?”
“Huh! Yes! Thanks Dad! Thank you so much!”
“Ugh… Why did our Rachel become such a crybaby? Should she stop going to her house now?”
“Your father!”
Wiping her tears, Rachel smiled broadly and nodded her head. As soon as I got up from her seat, Rachel grabbed my hand.
“You know, Dad. Laura…”
On the way to her house, Rachel chatted to me about her friends from Hero Academy. Rachel’s mouth didn’t stop until she got home.
*****
“That old man, didn’t you do too much? We’ve had bad luck today, but we’ve been doing well so far! Aren’t we?”
As soon as the Dark Knight and Rachel left, Hanna grumbled. She looked at her friends to ask for their consent.
“Stop it. You saved us.”
“That’s right. And he healed Sevi.”
“Father(?)… You’re really strong. Is that why Rachel’s psychic powers are so strong?”
“…”
However, the response was not very good.
“Ugh!”
Then, as if she couldn’t contain her anger, Hanna rolled her foot. Even though he was Rachel’s father, he didn’t like the attitude of denying all the achievements they had made so far.
“So what are you guys doing? You’re not going to do young hero activities like that man said?!”
“Wouldn’t it be difficult right now?”
“What?!”
Hanna’s eyes widened at Sevi’s words. He was ready to tear her hair out at any moment, but Sevi didn’t care.
“Honestly, was there anything wrong with what my father said? You have underestimated the villains so far because they have been on a winning streak. There are so many villains who are much stronger than us. In fact, a few days ago, we had Dr. Hugo, an S-class villain… Huh? Come to think of it, we were Wasn’t the person who saved her, Rachel’s father? I think Rachel called her dad at that time?”
“Huh? Really?”
At Sevi’s words, the children realized that they had already met Rachel’s father, the Dark Knight.
For reference, the children do not know that Rachel’s father is a Dark Knight. Few people know that the Dark Knight, who disappeared with Cthulhu three years ago, has returned.
“Let’s take a break for a while. And my father said that too. If I get caught doing activities one more time, I won’t let you go. Just as my father said, let’s take a break and develop our superpowers.”
“Ugh! Aren’t you angry that the boy was beaten by the villains?! You don’t have to take revenge!”
“Father took care of all the villains I hit. Come to think of it, father… You don’t seem to be an ordinary psychic? You used multiple psychic powers.”
‘The father-in-law is really amazing!’
Sevi always called the Dark Knight his father. Because Sevi has a crush on Rachel. She even called her father-in-law in her head.
“Oh really! Tina! What do you think? Are you going to quit Young Hero too?!”
Perhaps she thought she couldn’t convince the Dark Knight of her infatuation with Sevi, Hanna changed her target and looked to her childhood friend Christina.
“I… Haa… Actually, I think Rachel’s father was right. Now that I think about it, it’s amazing how we’ve taken down the villains so far.”
“Tina and you too!”
When even Christina did not sympathize with her, she felt betrayed and Hanna cried.
“Ugh it’s frustrating!”
Drain-! Hannah screamed and stomped into her room. Bang-! She was so indignant that she slammed the door shut like an adolescent.
“Anyway, having a temper… Tsk tsk. Let’s go to sleep too. Hey Evan. Let’s go and sleep.”
“… Huh? Ah, huh.”
Seeing her visit Hanna entered, Sevi clicked her tongue and took her dozing Evan into her room.
This is Hannah’s house, but she is also the Young Hero’s hideout. She slept over at Hannah’s house many times.
“… I need to wash some.”
Christina’s face darkened as she entered her bathroom. When I was caught by the villains, the worst didn’t happen, but because their dirty hands massaged my body.
I wanted to wash away the dirt.
“…”
When the children all went into their rooms, Laura was the only one left in the living room. But the strange thing is that Laura’s cheeks are flushed.
“Rachel’s… Father…”
Judging from her self-talk, she seemed to be thinking of the Dark Knight now.
*****
Tiririk-!
“Hey guys, they’re out!”
As soon as morning dawned, Rachel came to Hannah’s house. Rachel’s cheeks were flushed red as if she had run all the way here.
“Guys! Kids!”
Rachel called her friends, but she didn’t answer. It was natural. Because everyone was stretched out because of what happened the day before.
She showed her determination, but this was the first time she had been beaten like a punching bag by the villains. She didn’t say it on purpose, but everyone was in a state of mental shock, and it was the same with Hannah, who was most upset by the words of the Dark Knight.
She couldn’t sleep through the night, and when it got a little bit brighter, she barely fell asleep.
“Guys… Huh? Laura!”
“Uh, uh… Rachel?”
Calling her friends, Rachel found Laura sleeping alone in her living room without a blanket. At Rachel’s cry, Laura opened her eyes to her dreamy face.
“Why are you sleeping uncomfortably here, not sleeping in your room?”
“Huh? Oh, that’s…”
Laura, unlike her other children, spent the night thinking about someone before falling asleep on the sofa without realizing it.
“Anyway, Laura! I have good news!”
“Good news…?”
“Yeah! Dad said he’s training us! And he said we can continue our Young Hero activities!”
“… Really?”
“Huh!”
Seeing Rachel talking with a smile on her face made Laura feel like she was about to fall asleep. Rachel’s father watching their training…
Kongdak-! Kongdak-! Kongdak-!
Laura’s heart started beating fast.
