The Baby Raising A Devil Chapter 246

Chapter 246

TL: Zimmings

As my father aimed the bow, the mage made a new barrier at each entrance of the village.

After that, bombing began at the village entrance without time for the mage of Kuhelm to fight.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

There was a constant loud sound.

Soon after, a dome-shaped barrier surrounding the village appeared in the air.

Cracks were seen at the village's barrier. As soon as my father's arrow hit it, the barrier was completely destroyed.

When my father raised his hand lightly, the soldiers came forward.

Their navy blue cape flutters in the wind, and the Irie symbol was engraved on the cape.

The knights jumped down the cliff at once. And soon, they appeared in front of me.

“I'm here to pick you up, lady.”

The torn teleportation scroll fell under their feet, and in a blink of an eye, the chief, who aimed a knife at my neck, was on the floor.

'I'm alive. I'm alive- Ah…'

Soon, some footsteps approached me.

As soon as our eyes met, I began to cry.

I cried like I did when I was a four-year-old child when I first went to Dubblede.

“Lea…….”

I thought I was going to die.

They put a knife on my neck.

I had a lot to say, but the only thing that came out of my throat was a cry.

“Lea, huwaa, Lea…!”

“Yes, lady. Lea is here. Don't worry now.”

Seeing me crying like a child, Lea bent one knee and looked at me.

Lea's eyes turned cold when she saw the blood stains on my neck.

She turned her head around and looked at the Kuhelm tribesmen.

In the meantime, the chief tried to stand up.

I quickly held back my tears and grabbed Lea's clothes.

“That bastard!”

Lea said as she aimed the tip of the sword at the chief.

However, another sword had blocked her sword. It was one of the tribesmen.

Lea lowered her body. When she held his foot, he stumbled and collapsed.

Lea, who did not miss this chance, hit his face with her elbow at once.

“How did your teacher, who is weaker than men, become the leader of irie? She's the best at dogfight. She's my reliable maid.”

I remembered Zachary who asked me about Lea.

I forgot that I was crying for a second and was astonished seeing Lea fighting so fiercely.

The young man had nosebleed and tried hard to escape, after that Lea headed to the chief.

“Do- don't come, don't come…”

A sword fell right in front of the chief while he tried to escape. Seeing the blade shining on the ground, the chief screamed in surprise.

“M-mages!”

The mages flocked to him after his desperate shout. Lea was pushed back by their barrier.

Just then,

“We're ready.”

A tall man appeared in front of me.

He had blue hair, and wore a cape with the Irie symbol.

Zachary, who is now a real knight, threw his spear at the barrier in the air.

The barrier was soon broken.

“Zachary!”

When I shouted, he picked up the spear that fell on the floor and asked me.

“So?”

“Huh?”

“Which one hurt your neck? Is this guy right here?”

“Huh… Oh! That's right! That guy!”

Zachary's spear was on the chief's hand at once.

“Aaaaah-!!”

After his desperate scream, the Dubblede's mage fought with the Kuhelm warrior.

Even though Kuhelm are stronger than Odis students, they still couldn't beat the mages of Dubblede.

They were quickly beaten, and the barrier that surrounded the gates were completely destroyed.

That means…

“Is it you? The one who kidnapped my daughter.”

It's time for dad to appear.

Dubblede's soldiers had surrounded them on all sides. My dad, Johann, and the chairman, who came into the village leisurely through a teleportation scroll, looked at the chief.

Lea and Zachary helped me up.

“Dad…….”

I approached my dad while crying, and my dad, who was looking at the chief, asked me.

“What did he do to you?”

As I stared at the chief, he gulped with a pale face. He had a pitiful expression on his face.

I felt a slight pity for him.

“He insulted me a lot of times and told me to go to hell. And…”

But of course I told my father everything.

The Dubblede people's expression when they heard me started to become scary.

And so, my revenge began.

The Kuhelm people ended up on their knees.

All of them begged me to save them, but I kept crossing my arms with an arrogant face.

The chairman and Lea were busy checking my condition.

“Ouch.”

When the ointment applied to my wound, I groaned in pain. Lea was surprised and Zachary squeezed the chief's head even harder.

Oh my god.

I forgot about Emeline.

“Lea, check Emeline's condition.”

“Yes.”

Emeline hesitated when I beckoned. I shrugged and said, “It's okay,” as she really looked hesitant about being treated by Lea.

She often came and went to my house during our time in the seminary, and at the graduation ceremony, she even ate with my dad, but she still felt uncomfortable with the Duke of Dubblede.

Lea noticed that and smiled tenderly.

“Long time no see.”

“No need to be so polite. I'm not a noble…”

“If you are a friend of our young lady, you will be treated as a family.”

Lea looked at my dad for confirmation

My dad nodded.

“You can use Dubblede's name too if you're my daughter's friend.”

After that, Lea took out her ointment from a small bag at her waist.

“Mr. Taylor's ointment works well.”

“M-Mr. Taylor's ointment?!”

What she gave her was Taylor's special ointment. Everyone was surprised when they saw the medicine that could never be bought no matter how much money they have.

The chairman also showed generosity to Odis students.

“Everyone, please be treated too.”

The students of Odis, who were also cared for by Dubblede, who reigned at the top of the pyramid, were greatly moved.

The students, who were glancing at Johann, the chairman, and Nos, quietly said to them.

“I'm Roxon, daughter of Count Wiege, Sismoa Kingdom. Did you know that my mother was included among the envoys in this empire last time?”

“My name is Heartre, young master! I'm Miss Leblaine's friend. Miss Leblaine once asked me about her assignment a month ago.…!”

This situation had happened before in the seminary. People were nice when my dad appeared, even when they used to gossip behind my back.

I quietly listened to them, but I heard someone unexpected.

“My name is Alan Guster, Your Excellency!”

The others hang around Johann, the chairman and Nos, but Alan goes directly to my father.

“I'm the youngest son of Viscount Gustor. My father always says that I'm more dependable than my brothers, haha.'

“A long time ago, my family also invested in Dubblede's new weapon business! I told my father that he must invest there. I've been admiring you since I was young.”

“It's fate to meet like this-”

“Are you close with my daughter?”

My dad, who cut Alan's words, looked at me and asked.

Alan smiled awkwardly haha.

“We sometimes have small fights. But I probably had the most conversations with your daughter among the Odis students.”

“Don't beat around the bush. I asked you if you are close with my daughter.”

“That-”

Dad, who was rubbing his chin with his hand, looked at Alan and suddenly said, “I see.”

“Right, I remember your father.”

“Ah, yes! My father is involved in business with Dubblede. He's a great business man, of course he should be remembered!”

“He was begging me to delay the payment.”

“……Yes?”

Alan's face immediately turned red. He must've been embarrassed since he's a very prideful person.

Dad opened his mouth even before he could say anything.

“Your father borrowed from me quite a lot. To the extent that it could only be resolved by giving me his sons. I'll ask again. Are you close with my daughter?”

“That, that… that, I…”

When my dad turned to me, Alan mouthed 'Please' with his mouth.

My dad stroked my hair. I merely sneered when I saw Alan's face behind my father's back.

“We're not close at all. I don't like Alan Guster, dad.”

“Really? …I see.”

My dad's gaze became dark as he saw him.

It seemed that there would be someone that Viscount Guster had to break ties as soon as possible.

Dad kept touching my hair reassuringly. I smiled pleasantly and then asked my dad.

“But how did you get here faster than the school?”

“Because a man named Hannibal told me the news first.”

“Have you contacted the school?”

“Nos would have dealt with it.”

“That's a relief-”

At that moment, someone suddenly said,

“Thank you.”

It was Mina's voice.

After she bowed down to Johann, she said with an awkward smile.

“Thank you for saving me. Thank you so much to you too, Leblaine. I lived thanks to you. By the way… don't you know me?”

“I know it's weird if I say it like this. But, I…… I know you.”

Mina stared at Johann and continued.

“I knew you even before I came to this world. I've always seen you in my dreams. You always say 'Mina, is it how it feels to have a younger sister?' and smiled.”

“I know you.”

What?

I opened my eyes wide in surprise, and Mina's expression brightened.

Johann looked away from Mina and approached me.

“The second child of fate who goes to the same school as my little sister.”

“That's not it, we…”…!”

“Little sister.”

Johann turned to me and asked,

“Is this person close to you?”

It's the same question as my dad's

People's eyes were on me while I was contemplating.

“No, I'm not close with her at all, brother.”

“Then we don't need to talk any more.”

With that, the conversation was over.
