At the end of a metastasis that fell into a rift in dimension.

"I contacted Bulbe for now. When Sigal and Haku get back, we'll go talk a little bit about the situation."

When Inai came back, he said that to us first.

"That's this kid and me, too?

"Come around."

"Right."

Well, you're a party. You have to go, don't you?

"... going out?

Yeah, well, you're out. It's not such a soothing story. It makes me feel awesome.

Sounds like a lot of fun, but what am I supposed to give back?

"Well, we're going out. You're gonna be a good boy, right?

Inai says as she strokes the child's head.

"... Okay, I'll be a good girl"

The child responds while keeping his head in Inai.

I'm being honest, I have a little anxiety.

"Well, I don't know what to do until you two come back"

"Speaking of which, where did the Sigals go? I mean, have you finished choosing your costume?

"I measured the size and decided what to make. Then Haku didn't move enough. Then he went somewhere with Sigal. Well, if you're with Huck, you'll be fine."

Damn, Haku wanted to move, so you followed him?

Those two are really close.

"... Hey, Dad"

"Uh, yeah, what?

Enough said, but you're not used to calling your father.

"... who's Cigal and Huck?

"Uh, Sigal's my other fiancée, and Huck's our... friend, huh?

"... you have another mother?

"Oh, will that be for you..."

I'd have to explain it to Cigal, too.

I know the criteria for this child's mother, but I don't know the criteria for my father.

I wonder why he's your father.

"I'm old enough to give up, but Sigal won't want to be called your mother."

"Uh, yeah."

"... Really?

"Well, ask him in person. If you hate me and tell me... don't call me your sister."

"... um... okay"

Something feels so tannic.

Is there a focus on your mother?

Um, is that, is this back?

Big magic is approaching near the inn. Probably a hack.

"You're home."

Looks like Inai noticed. Haku doesn't have to be easy to understand.

After a while, the two of them come to the front of the room and the door opens.

"Inai, your sister is home."

"I'm home!

Byrne and Huck open the door.

I think I'm opening it once and for all, but I'm afraid I'm going to break it.

"That kid..."

Cigal tries to notice a child riding on my lap.

But Haku stopped it.

"Haku?"

Sigal raises questions about Huck's actions.

Haku looks at the child with his eyes open. I feel more alert than surprised.

"Sigal, stay away from this guy"

Haku conveys to Sigal with a very low roar.

I wonder what Haku felt for this kid. You're very alert.

No, but I know how that feels. I feel like I know if I can feel the power of this kid.

"You, what. Answer me. I'll kill you on this occasion, depending on what you answer. '

"Oh, hey, Huck, what's wrong all of a sudden?"

"Ha, hak? I know you're on guard, but isn't it too sudden?

When Haku kills, he clearly releases words of will to kill.

I know you felt something dangerous, but it's too abrupt for a hack.

Usually, if you're someone you can communicate with, you can try to have a conversation.

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

Suddenly, truly abruptly, the child mouths a very smoothly unheard word, not a loose way of speaking earlier.

When I look at the child, my skin is shallow and dark at some point.

No, it's blacker than when we first met.

Most importantly, it's not something that's aimed at us, and I'm looking at Huck with a sharp eye.

I don't know what you said. But Haku, who heard the words, was clearly exasperated.

'What the hell are you talking about? No, I don't care about that. You call me a mutton fish? Good courage. It destroys me here.'

Huck flickers the flame and says it with a fierce face as he shows his teeth.

"Seriously, both calm down!

Inai gets in between.

"Oh yeah, Huck, what's up!?

Sigal won't be able to keep up with the situation, but he goes in to stop Haku.

No, I guess I stopped it because I didn't grab it.

"Look, look, you calm down, too!

I'm about to jump on a hack and have a kid who tried to get ahead of me.

And then the kid looks up at me with a decent face?

"... what's going on?

"... Huh?

The child now looked like he didn't know what he had done.

He said he didn't do anything weird.

What the hell did you say?

"This is going to be even more troublesome again..."

Inai looked at such a child and leaned over with her head.

'You picked up your life. Forgive the sigals. I'll keep this place down.'

■■■■■■■■ ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

Haku stares at the child thoughtfully, and the child stares at Haku too.

"... Dad, I, I hate him"

'I hate you too! Tallow, at least let him hit you later!

It's also unusual for Huck to be so discerning and angry.

What didn't you care so much about eating?

Oh, is that how angry you got when they told you it was a miscellaneous fish?

Huck seems to have something proud of his strength.

"In the meantime, both of you sit down. I'll explain."

"Mm, okay. See, Haku, that's it?

"... okay."

In the meantime, when I try to sit the two of them down, Sigal tries to sit Huck down.

Haku says he's incredibly satisfied and finds out, and sits down.

"In the meantime, do you know what Haku's ancestors are?

"... I don't know. But that's what I thought earlier."

"I see. I don't have a clear memory, but is there anything left in the depths?"

Inai questioned the child when everyone sat down.

"Oh, that? Inai, do you understand what I just said?

"No, I don't know."

"Well, then why the question now..."

Whatever you think, I think that question is based on the conversation we just had.

"Magic. I used translations."

"Ah."

I was in a hurry to forget it existed. Yes, I was able to communicate with Haku, so I should have used it.

I really can't do anything about it.

"Um, this can't be a real pain in the ass. I mean, it's hard right now, but all of a sudden, I don't know what I'm gonna do. I can't keep my eyes open."

"... sorry"

You thought the kid was scolded, apologize as a pussy.

Inai showed surprise at that.

"Uh, um, I don't know what's going on"

Inai roars as she sees the child apologizing.

Maybe I know this kid's dangerous, but he's too big and honest with us, so it feels like he's lost in judgment.

But I'm more concerned about what you were saying earlier than that.

"Hey Inai. What did you just say about this girl?

"Ah? Oh, you said not to get on the diagram with every remnant of being destroyed by people. I don't know what that means."

"The remnants of a doomed existence?

I don't know, I don't know why.

Or as I can see from the reaction earlier, Haku didn't understand either.

"Oh, please talk to the blubbers, will you?

"... yeah, sorry, good luck"

Kids feel depressed the same way.

"... but I hate him"

'Oh, I hate you too!

It doesn't seem to be that depressing.

Um, I don't know what's going on.
