The Baby Raising A Devil Chapter 245

Chapter 245

TL: Zimmings

Mina looked at me stiffly.

“Can't you trust me?”

“Get out of my way. I don't have time to argue with you.”

“I-!”

Mina shouted as she looked at me.

“I trusted you. I trusted you even if you made money for those who might harm your friends, even if you helped those who kidnapped us, I believed in you.”

“Didn't you hear what I said?”

“If we go on like this, we'll be in danger again to save you.”

“Who's the reason we're in danger”?

“What?”

“From the beginning, I was making another plan. I told the mercenary guild that had a deal with Kuhelm to inform the academy and Dubblede of our location! If you had endured one more day, we wouldn't be in this situation.”

The students who heard me were surprised, including Mina.

“If you had discussed your plan with us, no, if you had told us, we would have waited. But you handled everything on your own.”

“Do you want me to believe you, who always provokes the chief with useless words, and confide in you?”

I burst into laughter.

“Why don't you be honest? Do you trust me? No, you've been doubting me from the beginning.”

“No, Leblaine. I'm…”

“Yes, a few words would have comforted the children. But you were the one who didn't trust me. So you will put the children in danger either way.”

“Right? You're just a foolish hypocrite.”

“If each and every person's lives were precious, how could you leave Emeline there!”

“I didn't mean to leave her. I…”

“I'll talk to the chief and go back with Emeline.”

“Odis risked their honor in this battle, but we risked our own lives. You're going to trade it with justice and cause?

I continued to talk, staring at the students.

“Alan, can you prioritize morality over your mother? Sandra, can you think of humanity before your younger brother?”

Alan and Sandra failed to respond.

Mina gulped, and I glared at her.

“Don't pass the blame on me. It's all because of your stupid judgment that those children are in danger.”

I stopped and looked at Alan. Then I strode towards him and smacked his cheeks.

Alan, whose cheeks were flushed red, licked his mouth and said,

“You, you, what are you doing…!”

“You're the one who decided to trap Emeline, aren't you? Mina, who agreed with your plan, thought it was the right thing to do. Aren't you both very foolish?”

“You crazy-!”

I kicked his calves.

“Alan Guster. I'll remember your name.”

“Wh- what do you mean?”

“Didn't Adrian say this? My nickname in the empire is crazy dog. I won't let go if you bite me.”

“Where's Emeline?”

“N-near the prison.”

“Tell me exactly.”

“There was a place behind the prison that looked like a warehouse. Full of jars…”

I gritted my teeth and pushed Alan.

Behind Alan, who turned pale, I could see students with helpless expressions.

“This is the last warning. If you want to live, shut your mouth and stay here.”

Sandra, who was out of breath and grabbed her chest, asked.

“Where are we?”

“Where? It's still the Kuhelm tribe's village.”

“I beg your pardon……?”

“There are double and triple boundaries at each entrance to the village, so how can we run away with a teleportation scroll? I'll be able to withstand it. Because I had sacred power, but you guys wouldn't have made it through.”

“I'll say it again. This is the last warning. If you're agitated and moved foolishly again, I'll never save you.”

The students stepped back as I rushed out.

The place where I moved was to the altar of the Kuhelm tribe.

The place where I heard Boone's voice.

'Kuhelm will never know we're still in their territory.'

They would have been searching elsewhere by now. If so, there is still time.

Even if they had captured Emeline, they wouldn't have killed her straight away.

I went to the stairs connected to the stable.

It was quiet inside the stable, but it was noisy outside.

Kuhelm's warriors were running around in a hurry.

I hid on the stable and grabbed my etwal.

'Pur.'

A light surrounded me and a deer appeared.

“Draw their attention to you. In the meantime, I'll bring Emeline.”

“Even if you bring her safely, that doesn't mean you can escape.”

“If we hold on, we'll get support from Odis. I asked Hannibal to give them the location in the ledger I gave him.”

“You're already exhausted because of me. How are you going to protect those fools and endure it?”

“I'll take care of that, so hurry up and draw their attention.”

“What's wrong with you…. I won't let you go if you die. I'll chase you to the depths of hell and kill you again. So…”

I stroked Pur's head and smiled slightly.

“Yes, I'll never die.”

Pur, who lowered its head, soon disappeared. And shortly after, a shout came from afar.

“It's a monster!”

Pur seemed to be attracting attention.

I hurried out of the stable and headed to prison.

'Quickly… I have to hurry.'

My physical condition was getting worse. Blue veins were bulging from my wrist and it quickly went to my forearms.

I had experienced something like this three years ago, when two new devils were called out at the same time.

This was a sign that my divine power was about to run out.

If the blue vein went to my neck, I would probably die or go completely crazy.

'Please hold on. Please… … .'

I took a short breath and entered the back of the prison. There was a building that looked like a warehouse, like Alan said. When I went inside, it was full of dark reddish brown jars, and I checked the inside by looking at the lids one by one.

“Emeline… Emeline…….”

Rustle.

I heard a rustling at one of the jars.

As soon as I opened the lid toward the centre of the sound, I could see Emeline, who was gagging with her wrists and ankles tied.

The jar was so deep that I couldn't reach Emeline's ankle.

After tilting the jar, I reached out to Emeline and released the gag.

“Alan, you jerk. I'll kill you… hey, are you okay?”

“Let's go.”

When the cloth tied to her wrist and ankle was released, Emeline crawled out of the jar.

“We don't have time. Let's go to the stable. The childrem are on the underground altar of the stable.”

Emeline grabbed me by the wrist. She saw the blue veins on my hand and bit her lips.

“You called out the devil. Right?

“Let's go.”

“You fool… how could you save me with this condition?”

“I'll get scolded after we get back to school safely. So please let's go.”

“……Stupid.”

I grabbed Emeline and left the warehouse. I was going toward prison, but I heard footsteps.

“They're not here!”

“Try the warehouse. It's the perfect place to hide, so search carefully.”

Under the command of the young man, the warriors were heading towards the warehouse.

'We can't go to prison.'

I looked around quickly.

There was a small road opposite to the road connected to the prison.

Before the warriors came, I quickly went out onto the road.

The road was headed to the square, and the square was full of people.

At a glance, I could see the light surrounding Pur's body.

Pur was struggling under the mana chain of the Kuhelms mage.

The chief was looking coldly at the scene.

“That's your devil. How did it fall to their hand?”

“It's because my divine power barely maintains it. I consume a lot just to make him appear, so it can't attack or defend itself.”

“What are we going to do? We can't even go out to the square.”

I bit my lips and looked around.

There are chiefs and numerous mages in front of us. Opposite us, there are many warriors of Kuhelm, led by the young man.

'What do we do?'

If we get caught like this, the chief will not treat me nicely like before.

Far from being nice, he can immediately overpower me and use mages to brainwash my mind.

If so, I will not be able to escape their control and become a puppet the moment I lost all divine power.

“I'll get their attention.”

I frowned at Emeline's words.

“I'm here to save you, do you want me to use you as bait? That doesn't make sense, right?”

“Then what are you going to do? There's no way out.”

“I'll buy you time, so share your mana with the children. You said you can share some of your divine power to them.”

“But-”

Just then,

“So you were here. You worms.”

I heard a creepy voice behind my back.

The young man went towards us with bloodshot eyes.

“I found them, chief.”

When he shouted, the attention of the Kuhelm tribe was on us at once.

Me and Emeline were seated in front of the chief and had to watch the students being dragged by the Kuhelm warriors.

The students were beaten up, perhaps struggling with the warriors at the altar.

“Damn it-!”

Alan, who looked somewhat fine compared to other students, spat out abusive language and shouted at me.

“Did you sell us, Leblaine?!”

Emeline turned her head and stared at Alan.

“No, I did it.”

She was right.

The chief asked me where the students were, and I didn't answer. Emeline shouted when his mages aimed at me.

“Say it! Are you going to die like this?”

“Emeline.”

“Leave Blaine, I'll tell you. They're in the basement of the stables.”

“You-!”

“You tried to run away from me, and you betrayed Leblaine. What kind of loyalty should I give to you?”

When Alan opened his mouth as if to shout something, the young man near him kicked him in the knee.

Alan, who faltered and collapsed, stared at Emeline with a pale face.

Even the students knelt down in front of the chief while being tied with a rope.

The chief, who looked at me with a cold face, said.

“You bad girl. You take our kindness for granted.”

“It's not me.”

“Do you want me to trust you again?”

“If you have a brain, you'll know it. We were communicating. I'm the one who got betrayed.”

“Ha! To say that without fear…”

The chief, who grabbed me by the collar, pushed a knife at my neck.

Feeling with the cold knife, blood began to drip from my neck.

“Yes, I don't need two children of fate. Wouldn't a strong girl be more useful even if she was stupid than a girl who was smart?”

The chief smiled and looked at Mina behind me.

“Yes, kill me, kill me.”

As I said with a snort, the chief was confused.

“What?”

“Kill me, you rascal!”

If I regress this time, I will find you and kill you first.

'It's okay. I can meet my family again later. I can do it.'

“Go to hell first.”

I closed my eyes tightly.

At that moment, an arrow passed by me.

I turned my head slowly.

And I saw the person aiming the bow on the mountain…….

His black cape fluttered in the wind, and the Dubblede symbol was engraved on his armor. The man who aimed the bow at the chief said,

“Leblaine.”

In an instant, my eyes become red.

The truth is, I really wanted to live.

I called him with tears in my eyes like a child.

“Dad…..!”

Dubblede's knight filled the mountain. Next to them was dad, Johann, and the chairman.
