Chapter 19: Rebellious Phase!

Chapter 19: Rebellious Phase!

Somehow I saw a very nostalgic dream.

But right after I woke up, it disappeared from my head.

All that was left is the memory that I remembered something.

It’s a mirage that’s irritating and lonely, flickering in my brain.

Perhaps it was correct for me to forget it.

If the dream was sad, I’m pretty sure it’ll drag me down for the whole day.

Besides, everything I see in my dreams are those I want to close my eyes from anyways.

I bet the dream I have this morning is also a nightmare.

Though in an extremely rare occasions, I could also have a happy dream.

Yes, for example, a dream about when I saved Elza from the goblin nest. I wonder when was the last time I had a dream like that.

That sight was the sparkling moment in between the harsh life in that other world, I don’t mind looking at as much as I could.

I stretched myself on top of the bed and turned off the alarm clock.

It’s six thirty two. I woke up a lot earlier than the time I set up.

Today I have a day off from my part time work, so it should be fine if I sleep a bit more.

After passing late twenties, I can’t seem to sleep for a long time anymore.

I wonder if it’s the effect of aging process.

Seems like you need some strength and youth just to sleep.

On the contrary, Angelica is sleeping soundly to my side.

…Isn’t it bad if this kid is sleeping next to me in the same bed?

There are physical limit since this room doesn’t have enough space, though so we can’t help it.

There’s no telling when someone might be mistaken about this, so we should resolve this problem soon.

Also I’m suspicious if this kid is touching me all around when I’m asleep.

Somehow late last night I heard some rustling sound and felt someone was touching me.

I mean, I understand that the male body is unusual, but this is a breach of manners, you know.

I can still let it slide if it’s my upper body you’re touching, but if it’s about the lower body I’ll be sure to resist.

I thought of that while looking at her sleeping face that hasn’t grown into that of an adult’s.

She’s a young girl, and I’m an old man.

I should be guiding her to the right way no matter the cost.

You should come to like another man properly.

Today, I’m bringing Angelica outside of the apartment.

If I make her wear clothes to make her look like a modern person, so she look like any other girls.

It will also be the first time in Angelica’s life when she would see young men of the same age.

Someone might also be hitting on her……but that’s fine.

A girl who were raised in a completely segregated environment, a sacred maiden.

A maiden raised to please the gods.

She’s an offering to the gods to give the people some peace of mind.

She’s a person that is like a public property to represent humanity.

She should try and regain the youth she lost in this world.

If she can be taken by a young good-looking man, I might be a bit vexing, but it’s for Angelica’s sake.

I finished dressing up and quickly made breakfast.

After I did, I went to wake Angelica.

I shook her shoulders.

Keisuke: “It’s morning”, I said with a quiet voice.

Her reply was “Mmmm—”, a grumbling voice. just like a cat.

Even though it’ll be better if she’s really just a cat.

Being a foreign girl is only a disadvantage.

She had no passport nor a visa, but she had the looks of a foreign girl.

If she wants to try to live in modern Japan, she’ll be followed by an absurd amount of hardships.

The pain of living as a foreign being is hard, and I learned it the hard way.

I have to create an appropriate place for this child to live. I have to.

As I clenched my fist and regained my spirits,, I woke up Angelica.

Keisuke: “Good morning, Ange.”

Angelica: “Good morning…..isn’t this quite early……?”

She sluggishly went to the bathroom with a drowsy look and I saw her off. In the meantime, I reviewed today’s schedule.

First of all, I’ll be using the Perception skill to search the area around the house and look for the ghost.

Afterwards we will search the town.

Finally, I need to threaten persuade Gondou to prepare identification papers for Angelica.

That’s about it I think. I finished my thought as I sipped my coffee.

There might be an antisocial way of thinking mixed in, but I’ve thought of this before.

But that’s fine.

I’ll ruin my life as much as needed, I mean my life has already ended anyways.

This is a gift from daddy to Angelica who still had a lot more future to experience.

As I solemnly thought so, Angelica came flying at me with her eyes closed.

Her face looks like she just found something good.

Keisuke: “What is it?”

Angelica: “Stubble~ Stubble~ Rough beard~”

While humming something strange, she stroked my chin.

Angelica: “I wanted to touch it before you shave.”

Angelica wholeheartedly felt the sensation of the rough skin of men that was unusual to her.

……If you think of it that way, then I can understand it, but this is kind of bad for my heart.

I can smell the shampoo and conditioner that she used yesterday.

I wonder why Angelica smells really nice.

Even that time when I met her, she already does.

Even though she was from another world, she wasn’t much different than a modern-day high school girls, she smells sweet and hygienic.

That place didn’t have anything but soaps though.

Maybe right after she was summoned into my room, she took a shower first without my permission? Or so I thought.

But that wouldn’t be possible.

I mean, she couldn’t even twist the faucet until I told her how to.

Angelica: “Dad? you stopped moving, you know?”

While she was pressing on my cheek, my eyes met with hers.

Her large, green eyes.

Keisuke: “Is it really that interesting to rub the stubbles on your cheek?”

Angelica: “Very much!”

Her breathing is getting rough…she’s totally a molester.

If our gender and age are reversed, she would be the one that will be arrested.

Keisuke: “……Ange, I’m the first man you’ve ever seen, right?”

Angelica: “True.”

Keisuke: “You should’ve had more reactions to it, right? Don’t you feel scared, or weirded out? I thought normally a girl would have her fear preceding her curiosity.”

She immediately got used to touching and looking at me in a weird way.

If your first contact with an alien ended up with him being horny, what would you think?

If I think of it that way, I would be left in fear.

Looking at me that had a fearful look in my eye, Angelica lets go of my face and said,

Angelica: “It’s because I at least had a knowledge on how you look.”

Did they have sex education in the temple?

Well, if she didn’t, she couldn’t have assaulted me, so probably she did.

It seems like she understood what would be considered embarrassing or not.

Angelica: “There were a lot of paintings and sculptures of male gods in the temple. Even if I am a sacred maiden, I know what sort of figure a man has.”

Keisuke: “So you studied from that, huh?”

Angelica: “The day they brought in a nude sculpture of a man, the maidens were all throwing a fuss. They were all eagerly looking closely at it.”

Keisuke: “I wish I didn’t know that…”

The image of the girls’ flower garden is now in ruins.

Angelica: “Eh, is that really so? I mean, everyone surrounded the sculpture and touched it all over.”

Keisuke: “Just like high school girls, huh?”

Angelica: “We didn’t feel anything when we touched the stone sculpture, because here weren’t any smells or sounds or anything.”

That’s why I like you better~, she said with a huge smile as she continued rubbing my chin.

Or rather than smiling, she looks like she’s about to melt.

Keisuke: “You’re making a face you shouldn’t be showing to people.”

Angelica: “But I’m in bliss~”

To be able to get a father who is kind enough to let me touch him all I want, I’m such a blessed daughter, Angelica murmured.

I’m not that admirable of a parent though.

Yet you still want to hold me? Even though this is how I am?

I unintentionally reached my right hand toward Angelica’s cheek. This is bad, what am I doing?

I myself might be remembering how lonely it feels for someone to let you go.

Keisuke: “…Do you remember, Ange? We’re going out today. There’ll be a lot younger men than me walking around outside.”

Angelica: “Eh?”

Keisuke: “You look happy aren’t you? Are you looking forward to it?”

Angelica nodded, and I caressed her cheeks.

I’ve completely turned into someone sexually harassing her daughter, huh?

This’ll be the last time, so please forgive me for now.

Keisuke: “If you found a good man out there, it’s okay to go on with him you know?”

Angelica: “……?”

Angelica’s expression disappears as if she’s about to say I don’t understand.

Keisuke: “I’ll be taking care of the various things to allow you to live in this world. I’ll send you everything you’ll need later on.”

Angelica: “……why are you saying such a thing?”

Keisuke: “I don’t have a lot of money, and I’m also past my thirties. If you can find a young men perfect for you, you’ll be better off staying with him.”

Angelica: “Am I a bother to you? Are you saying that you want me to get out of here?”

Keisuke: “Certainly not!”

Being with you is fun. That’s especially why,

Keisuke: “I’m saying this because I care about you, do you understand?”

Angelica’s answer was…to put my finger in her mouth.

Angelica: “Nyoh.”

Keisuke: “……you can’t really say anything with that, can you?”

While sucking on my finger, Angelica continued.

Angelica: “Nyo way. I will not be fall for any other men.”

She’s not a very obedient daughter. I warned her that if it wasn’t me, other men would be assaulting her right now.

Angelica: “It’s okay if dad assaults me!”

I made a face that says you’re saying all this despite being a virgin?

Angelica: “I don’t need younger men! I only want you to fill the role of a boyfriend and a father……besides, I like daddy’s taste the best…fufu, your face is turning red, daddy.”
