127 Part 1

Da, daddy?

I grabbed my surprised daughters hand and did what I came here to do. Sorry kid, but my instincts are screaming for me to stay put recently. Even if I had camouflaged myself, it was difficult to believe that there were many people like No. 17 who could not recognize faces. Especially, those like Sia would come up running say that she smelled me. I did not enjoy this village. I had come in a long time and just quickly did my tasks.

Daddy, money!

Here.

I gave the Metal Bat a pouch with an appropriate amount of gold, silver, and bronze coins. She would survive even if the legendary incarnation of evil, the Demon King, came out. Therefore, the Metal Bat would act solo, but she would only buy snacks with the money and share it with Alice.

Is there something really wrong?

My conscience hurt a bit at my daughters worried eyes. The village we lived in was sequestered, and for a girl living there, coming here, one of the biggest villages around this area, would be a special treat indeed. It was an event that only happened twice a year!

How could I tell her the truth when I was interfering with that just by my instincts?!FiNd updates on n(o)/velbin(.)com

Its because I had bad dreams last night. I think we should quickly go back after finishing up here today.

Is that so? Well, what you say is right.

I was grateful for Alice following my words despite her disappointed expression. Where had this cute kid come from?!

However, just say what you want to have, and Daddy will buy it for you!

Really, Daddy?

Of course!

I promised myself I would buy Alice whatever she wanted as she beamed at my words. I could buy anything from my secret funds that came out of a village like this!

So, lets buy what we need first.

Yes!

We started purchasing items by darting here and there, holding hands. Since the merchants regularly came, buying things was easy since I only had to tell them the quantity and send them to the rooms we were staying in. Therefore, it only took an hour to buy all the necessary items, and I had been rushing things to go back to the rooms as fast as possible. Of course, I had to adjust my pace to Alices and only could walk fast since running would make me more noticeable.

Little sis, eat this too!

Stop.

Its natural for a big sister to want to feed her little sister!

It was her fourth skewer, but Alice still had four left between her fingers. Since she had given Alice enough meat, now they were fruit and berries preserved in honey, and roasted vegetables cut into one-bite sizes.

Since the inn were staying in cooks well, we should leave some room for dinner.

Daddy!

Alice looked like a saved lamb when I took two skewers from her hand, and her excessive faith almost scared me!

Thank you, Daddy!

All right, all right.

I tasted the flavor of a well-steamed sweet pumpkin and told Alice what I just had remembered.

Have you found what you wanted for a present?

Yes!

Alice looked around with shining eyes and pointed with a loud That! to a vendor selling many kinds of eggs.

Eggs?

Yes, I want to raise a chicken, Daddy!

I could not hide a small sigh as I watched Alice look at the eggs and lick her lips. Her faith towards chicken would be right below her faith towards me since she had realized too early how delicious the dish was.

-You may lose.

-Seriously?

It was a secret that I thought maybe true. How could I come in second when Alice loved me like that?

-If youre confident, ask her to choose between you and chicken, saying that she would be unable to meet one for the rest of her life. She will cry for at least three days.
