Chapter 40: Kindness
After dealing with the slaves, I picked Misha up. Her smile immediately emerged on her adorable face the moment she saw me return.
Then, we rode in the ridiculously grandiose white carriage that Tanya appointed to pick us up. As we arrived right in front of the mansion, Tanya was already there waiting for us with Karoon and Gareth.
We walked down and were greeted by them.
"Good day, Mister Casimir." Karoon waved her hand.
"Yo."
Gareth nodded at me and I nodded back.
"Oh, hi little Misha?" Karoon approached Misha and gently pinched her cheek. "You look so cute today."
"How're the human slaves?" Tanya asked while standing a meter away from me.
"They are already on their way, thanks for the carriages that you lent me."
"A meruem saving humans without any particular merit in mind. It makes me wonder what kind of environment you grew up in." She walked past me. "Anyway, We should go now, there's a lot of things I need to show you."
I nodded and faced Misha. "Be a good girl to Karoon while I'm gone, huh, Misha?"
Misha's eyes immediately narrowed upon hearing what I said and tightened up her hold on my hand. "I can't go with you? Why?"
Oh, I forgot to tell her.
I squatted next to her and patted her head. "The place I'm going to is not appropriate for children, you should stay here and play with your big sis Karoon. Don't you like Karoon?"
Her eyes widened. "I like big sis Karoon."
"I like you too, Misha!"
I smiled. "Good. I'll be back shortly after this, so for now, don't cause any trouble for her."
She nodded and hugged my neck.
Yup, I am now an 18 year old with a 10-year-old daughter. I can already see it now.
I also saw some minecarts that they were using to transport the stones through the railroad that would lead to the entrance.
If minecarts and railroads are also a thing in this world. Does that mean trains do too? It would be great if we have those vehicles in this town for trading purposes in the future.
As we walked, I heard some of the laughter of the miners but upon seeing us they immediately stood up and bowed to us while still maintaining their smiles.
A bald demon immediately approached us. He's the noisiest one of the bunch laughing earlier.
"Greetings, Lady Tanya and Lord Casimir."
"Oh, it seems you have finally returned, Kado. I was about to replace you, but well, you are already here, so it can't be helped."
But despite the words Tanya said, Kado laughed, and not a forced laugh. A genuinely delighted laugh.
Tanya proceeded to walk away but Kado stopped him by standing in her way.
"Is there a problem?"
Kado repeatedly bowed his head before saying anything. "I just want to say my deepest gratitude for aiding my daughter, Lady Tanya. I don't know what could possibly happen to my daughter if you didn't come to help us that day."
Tanya exhaled and faced him. "I didn't do anything, it was Karoon who came up with the medicine for your daughter, so don't say thank you to me." She walked away.
I quickly followed Tanya and found her narrowing her eyes.
"Is there something funny, Casimir?"
I shook my head. "Nothing. Anyway, what happened to the genuine kindness is never a weapon, it's a fatal fl-"
"Don't say another word."
I chuckled. "I won't... however."
She walked faster and left me behind.
I exhaled as I watched her walk faster.
