Chapter 199: Well-Behaved Cats Like the Kitchen Stove! (4)“Dad, I hate you!”

Cecily curled up in her blanket, fuming with anger.She was someone who had always been adored and treated preciously by people wherever she went.

If Cecily were to say, “Bring me the moon,” people would normally at least pretend to fetch it for her.But Judas, her father, who should have been the first to grant Cecily’s wishes, had refused her request.

“...I even massaged your shoulders!”

Cecily’s begging technique, 500x Filial Piety.In her mind, it was an incredibly powerful technique that could defeat any opponent.It was clearly a move that would deal massive damage, especially to blood relatives, but as expected, her dad wasn’t so easily swayed.

“...Fuck!”

She resolved not to speak another word to him from now on.As she was swallowing her anger with such thoughts,

“Fuck!”

Someone echoed Cecily’s curse in a small voice.Who else could be in this room besides her?Startled, Cecily threw off her blanket and got up.

“Is someone there?”

As she walked around the spacious room in her slippers,Knock— Knock—Someone tapped on Cecily’s window.When she turned, she saw a flower blooming in the moonlight beyond the glass.

“A flower?”“It’s me, Cecily! Open the window!”

The voice was oddly familiar.When she opened the window, a child about Cecily’s age with a flower on her head Poof— entered the room. Then Whoosh— she hugged Cecily, releasing a fragrant flower scent.

“You are...”“It’s me! Melody! Cecily’s friend!”

Melody!Cecily remembered her too!The Childrake Melody she met that day in Pandemonium!

“Melody! Weren’t you only able to live in Pandemonium’s Dark Forest?”

Surprised, Cecily looked Melody over. She saw her familiar blonde hair with a large flower like a ribbon, and those red eyes.However, unlike her previous outfit of leaves and vines, this time she wore a leather skirt and shirt, as if an ordinary country girl had dressed up.She looked remarkably human.The flower in her hair seemed like a pretty decoration.

“Cecily, I missed you so much, I had to come see you!”

Melody smiled, Hehe—.Cecily recalled her memories with Melody. Though many were terrifying, the Childrake Melody was Cecily’s first friend from the wild.

“Cecily, I heard you saying you hated someone. Should Melody punish them? Melody is strong! When that bright light shot into the sky recently, Melody got even stronger! Now I can go to places other than the Dark Forest!”

“We open a door with a spell! Melody has opened the door a few times. But there were terrifying guardians protecting it, so I couldn’t cross over...”“I’m good at sneaking around! Let’s try going!”

Cecily exclaimed.Melody nodded, then took flowers from a nearby vase and poured the water on the floor to complete a circular magic circle.

“Cecily, it’s time to go to the plains. You need to wake up.”

Knock— Knock—, Knock— Knock— Knock—Cariote knocked on Cecily’s door.It was unusual for Cecily to oversleep, as she usually woke up on her own without needing to be roused.

“Cecily?”

Click—When Cariote opened the door and entered,Cecily was nowhere to be seen.Even when asking the mansion’s staff, they just shook their heads, saying they didn’t know where she had gone.Of course, I had an idea of where Cecily had disappeared to.

Swish—With a light gesture, the water droplets that had evaporated into the air regained their form and stuck to the floor.It was a magic circle.

“Cariote, this is the troublesome and annoying method I mentioned yesterday.”“......”

Cariote was a woman with good intuition.She seemed to have noticed that something unexpected had happened. After opening the window, Cariote also realized that someone had entered Cecily’s room from outside.

“...A demon? It’s a creature with a small presence. Because Dina was here, we didn’t notice a small demon infiltrating the mansion! Dina, it’s your fault! It’s because your presence is unnecessarily imposing!”

Slap—Cariote slapped her younger sister’s back with her palm.Of course, Dina, who had been standing still, protested, “How is this my fault? That’s unfair!” Dina looked at me.

“Judas... no, Brother-in-law! Say something! You actually knew Cecily had disappeared, right?”“Well, you know.”

I knew that a small being had approached Cecily. It was a being without malice and full of goodwill towards her.In other words, it was like Naru’s friend Elizabeth, and Hina’s friend Horohoro. It was probably Cecily’s friend.So I just left her alone.

Of course, I was also slightly flustered now.Who would have thought the little ones would cross the ‘dimensional wall’.Although I had transcended, I wasn’t at the level of seeing through everything in this mortal world, so I didn’t think this would happen.I’m just a pseudo-god, not a real one after all.But well, I wasn’t worried.

“Molumolu is in Cecily’s shadow. Nothing bad will happen.”

Molumolu was one of the strongest among the various Demiurges.I don’t know why Molumolu, born from children’s toys, is so strong, but its power was enough to seal Nocturne alone for several hours, which had taken 12 Demiurges working together to seal before.With Molumolu around, Cecily wouldn’t come to any harm.Still, it was a bit troublesome.I’ll have to make an unscheduled dimensional trip.

“They say the well-behaved cat climbs onto the kitchen stove first. Cariote, let’s go.”1

1. Basically the idea that the quiet ones are the most dangerous.
