The Baby Isn’t Yours

Chapter 87:

Yes?

Its called an affection doll that dances, and temperature-regulating bandages on the arms and legs. But take a look at this. If you press in this way, you can seat the child. This is where the picnic bags fit in. And if you close it like this, you can open and close the canopy, explaining how to use the baby carriage, he asked with a twinkle in his eyes: What do you think?

Oh, just like that time again.

It was very similar to when Simon recently made the mobile.

Thanks. What a wonderful gift, uncle, Kalia smiled softly, hugging Ganini.

At that one word, a wonderful smile broke out on the face of the fairy.

Why is he here?

Derek went to his room and thought, staring at the back of Simons head, staring out the window.

Derek was obviously avoiding the two of them, too worried about yesterdays incident on the hill. It would be more accurate to say that he remained in his room and complained next to the dragons egg as his friend.

However, Simon came to him, who was hiding in the room, noting his lack of interest.

He was very surprised to see Simon as he opened the door and went inside.

His pounding heart seemed to hit the floor.

Y-You finally came to kill me? Ugh, my will, which I wrote then, must be delivered!

As for Kalia, he showed a fearless obsession towards her, so he thought that she would soon take cruel methods against him. As soon as Derek returned from the hill, he wrote a suicide note with trembling hands.

He was shaking like a prisoner waiting for execution for several days.

Derek, exhausted day after day, was about to let go of his fears today when he suddenly opened the door to his room and stumbled upon Simon.

Whats with the egg?

It g-grows well. It was close to perfect, and it seems like its only a matter of time before he hatches. Um, I-I think its best to go to the tower for the last magical ritual.

I see.

Thats all.

Simon, who had glanced at the dragons egg and walked over to the window, was still deep in thought.

Do you think how to punish me?

Dereks thoughts drifted to the figure of himself, horribly decapitated.

Derek talked about the call from the tower some time ago to live one more minute.

I just received a call from the tower. In several areas were invasions of monsters. Among these dead monsters there are those that tear their chests open. They said they couldnt contact you

Simon, who was staring out the window, turned his gaze to Derek.

Tell me more.

This is Since the amount of work is small, a detailed report hasnt been published, but such reports are now coming from every magic branch.

Is this happening now?

The first report about a monster that tore its own chest was also published 9 months ago. However, the monsters body disappeared the next day, and it is said that the branch didnt pay much attention to it because it was discovered during the monsters subjugation.

It was a monster with a torn out heart. Simons expression hardened.

Are you saying that you now have the body of this mysterious monster?

Well, I barely managed to get it. Some people say that the Masters opinion is necessary because I think this monster is one of them too.

If so a chimera?

Yes, thats right.

Simons eyes narrowed at Dereks response.

Louismond came to mind with a bad expression on his face.

The prince who said he needed the two of them. And the bodies of chimeras that were found everywhere.

Is something bad happening?

Come to think of it, I heard that about 30 years ago, one of the Imperial doctors who conducted the chimera experiment was expelled from the Empire.

Where did the exiled doctor go?

Is he dead or alive?

According to the records of that time, the imperial physician was insane. He butchered the demons and collected them like a set of dolls, and even brought their corpses and tried to combine them with the demons. He said that he boldly carried out crazy experiments without permission in the imperial underground laboratory.

It was written in the records that the imperial family discovered this too late, cut off the doctors limbs and expelled him from the Empire. It is said that the exile was also carried out by the previous Emperor because many people were spared while serving in the imperial court.

It was the Empires last record of chimeras.

Dereks trembling voice called out to Simon, who was busy looking for information on him.

Well Actually, that day, m-my vision wasnt quite right Knowing the truth, I didnt have any ulterior motives!!

What are you talking about?

Simon lifted his head and looked at Derek, who made excuses with his eyes closed.

If I had known it was Miss Ka-Kalia, this would never have happened!

Oh, you mean that day, Simon chuckled and glanced at Derek, then looked up the hill through the window. Its all right, Derek. Like you said, you didnt know it was Kalia.

If he knew it was Kalia, it would be a completely different story Well, he didnt want to say anything about what he did just out of ignorance.

Hadnt the owner of the scroll acted as a springboard for the two of them?

After meeting Kalia again, Simon will be able to be a little more tolerant of Derek.

The scroll That big scroll. Ha!

The scroll you made then, Simon asked Derek, rubbing his chin lightly.

Yes?

Its I mean, its a conversion masterpiece. Made a year ago.

Oh yes. This, this! Thats why

Is it still in the capital?

Derek, who shook his head like he didnt understand, nodded coldly under Simons gaze to quickly answer him.

Right.

The corners of Simons lips turned up slightly, muttering.

What, was it a failure?

Derek, who didnt even look at him after that, just scratched his cheek, not knowing what to say.

Isnt the condition for its launch there must be at least small feelings for each other?

Oh yes. Correctly. Its not like a spark could be ignited by a feeling that doesnt exist.

Hmm.

Simons straight eyebrows rose. He stood for a moment, lost in his own thoughts.

In this case.

Ha Then too.

But some time ago

While mumbling something similar, he ran his hands over his face impatiently several times.

He smiled slightly, tilted his head, and then sighed as if something was bothering him.

Whats wrong with him?

And why did you come into my room and do this? Could you leave now?

Was he reading Dereks mind when he thought that?

Simon, who had suddenly raised his head, turned around and headed for the door.

I cant. I have to check it myself.

Yes, what?

Keep an eye on the egg.

Huh? Yes I understand

Bam.

Before he could hear Dereks reply, Simon hastily closed the door and left.

Derek, who was suddenly alone, muttered.

Whats wrong with you?

* * *

Sorry, I dont have much time, so its time for me to leave.

Ganini immediately returned to the forest, before even having a cup of tea with Kalia.

Going through the gifts he had left behind, Kalia remembered a story that Ganini had briefly told recently.

You wont be able to see my father for a while. But dont worry. We will take turns walking towards you. All the other brothers want to come too. You can even see the wanderer Tokan and Nua, the Elder of the Fifth Forest.

Yeah, but

What?

Has Grandpa gone far?

Every time Kalia said the word grandfather, she became embarrassed.

Ganini smiled at Kalia and stroked her shoulder with his big hand.

Looks like hes got things to do. Neither my siblings nor I dare to read his mind, so there is no need to try to guess. So just wait and he will come back with a relaxed smile as usual.

He spoke directly, but Kalia noticed a slight ripple in Ganinis eyes.

I heard that Nua moved out right after he heard about you. It will take some time as he is the furthest away, but he will come with many precious gifts. He lives in winter country.

Kalia, who received so many gifts from them, was stunned at the thought that she could still receive some more.

And he hastily added before leaving.

I will return to the capital in a month.

Huh? Why?

I think I should help my friend. And also I made a promise.

Right.

Well, it doesnt matter. Because fairy forests are everywhere. If there is a forest, then we have the same distance everywhere.

Telling a strange story, he suddenly turned to Kalia and asked.

Even the 12 elders and the forest dont even know about your existence. But sooner or later, when my father returns, we will officially declare you a member of the forest.

But I shouldnt live in the forest, should I?

Wherever you live, its your choice. Now Im not going to deprive you of your freedom, because its your blood, not mine, not fathers, not our brothers.

But I still hope that the forest can become another refuge for you.

Hearing Ganinis words, Kalia smiled sincerely.

Then I always wanted to go to the forest.

Then lets build a good foundation so that we can welcome you and Sasha at any time.

Ganini patted Kalia on the shoulder and turned regretfully.

He seemed extremely straightforward, but if you get to know him, he was the sweetest person.

By the way the atmosphere seems unusual.

At the same time, monsters from the fairy forest appear, and even Louismonds displeased expression and grandfathers suspicious actions.

And the monster I met in the fairy forest was I think it was a chimera.
