Disciple of Immortal

Philia was invited to a guest room in Greedo's mansion.

The ceiling has a sumptuous chandelier and the walls are decorated with large paintings.

The large reddish-brown long desk is full of gold decorations and embedded with diamonds.

Wow, looks like the King's room!

Filia sees the interior and bounces.

"Haha, I'm glad you liked it."

Only Greed and Philia are sitting in the chair, and three of Greed's men line up near the entrance.

Greed's men could not understand why Greed had suddenly invited a strange girl, and they were looking at each other with their faces covered.

"Uncle, where's that picture kid?"

Philia's fingertips are decorated with pictures of girls.

This is a picture of a girl about the age of Philia sitting on a swing hanging from a tree in a flower garden.

"That painting was made by a famous travel painter." Fufu, I liked it, so I paid ten times the amount I had arranged in advance. "

The men had a strange expression on their conversation.

My men have not been particularly concerned about Greed's painting hobbies until now, but in view of the fact that I suddenly invited Filia as a guest, I feel the significance there.

"Are you Uncle's daughter?"

"No, lass, I'm not getting married."

Well then, is there any child who has returned home?

"My... yes, it's like a friend. Of course, it's already in my memory. I also gave the painter a detailed order, but I didn't show him the model.”

"...... Master Greedo, before this important plan, why are you doing this......?"

One of my men tried to ask Greed in a stingy way, but he groaned immediately.

"Hey, hey, Uncle!" Do you want some sweets? Philia, I want some sweets! "

Although Philia was alert at first, Greedo's attitude toward herself was permissive, and sometimes floated in the interior of the mansion, so she was completely relieved of her alertness.

"Even though it's a child... what a disrespectful attitude to Master Greedo!"

One of the men shouted at Philia.

"Shut up! Who would disrespect my guests?"

Greede clenched his fists, beat his desk, and stood up vigorously, yelling at his men.

"I'm sorry, Master Greedo..."

"Hmm? What are you going to do, bow your head to me?" You don't seem to understand the logic of things. Did I hire such an incompetence? you're only today..... "

"Uncle, Philia, I'm not angry." Is that right?

"If that's what you're doing..." I'm sorry that you came so far, but it made me feel uncomfortable. "

Greed quickly switched facial expressions and smiled at Philia, then quickly turned a cold eye to his men.

"So, what's the matter, you guys?" Are you ready for warm milk chocolate latte and sweets? "

"A little... I thought you might be confused..." I'll see how it goes. "

One of your men leaves quickly.

Immediately afterwards, colourful sweets were arranged on the desk.

Chocolate painted cookies, pudding with fruit sauce and decorated cakes.

In an instant, lavish sweets filled a large desk.

"Wow... amazing!"

"Fufu, you won't be able to eat all of it, so just put your hands on it as little as you like."

"Philia, I can eat it! Good luck!"

"Oh, that's comforting." I've never had a mouthful of sweets, but how about a little mouthful today? "

The men stood side by side and stared coldly at Greedo.

I was planning to start a big project soon.

The timing is adjusted according to the situation, and now it should be a really important time for Greedo.

It shouldn't be a case of inviting a child like this to play as a guest.

This soldier's cookies are cute!

Philia grabs the soldier's painted cookies and jerks them off.

"I see, I'm glad you're happy." I have to thank the person who made it again. "

"I thought Uncle was a scary person... but I'm glad he's so kind!" Philia, Philia, you're having so much fun right now... "

At that time, the door opened vigorously, and the rushed subordinates jumped in.

Oh, my God, Greedo-sama!

Wow!

Filia was surprised when she dropped the cookies on the plate.

The soldier's neck breaks and falls, and Philia gets two fragments with crying eyes.

"The soldier..."

"... hey, I'm having a guest." Why don't you at least knock? Are you going to let me scratch you? "

Greed looked like a demon and stared at the crew that had jumped in.

"And, but that's not the point!" Twenty or so Kingdom Knights line up in front of the museum! Everyone must have the level! Greedo is suspected of plotting a civil commotion, and he wants to call the High Court in the capital! At the same time, it is likely that they are also stepping into the dark zone! "

"Well, at most, I thought you were just coming to see how things were going, but you're acting much faster than I expected." Is there a traitor... or does the royal family have a peculiar power that I don't recognize? "

As expected, Greedo's smile disappeared from the report.

"W-What happened, Uncle...?"

"No, it's not a big deal, lass."

Greedo said that and then looked back at his men.

"Just you and the others starting the plan...... The innocent uninvited people who came farther from the King's City can be picked up." They have the power to do it. "

"Are we alone...?"

"Now I'm not afraid of them." I'm busy with this girl.... and don't come in here for a while, unless you have to. Don't cut off my entertainment by being boring. "

"... I see, I get it"

All of Greed's men left the room.

"Uncle... what are you going to start?" Are you going to do something worse? "

In response to Philia's question, Greed smiles gently.

"Hahaha, it's not a big deal. Sounds a little noisy, lass."

"Ah, um... Uncle. Philia, I'm going home. I'm sorry I got you some treats. I have to go back and make sure that Pomera and the others are safe....."

Filia stood up and spoke reluctantly.

”Hmm... it looks like your daughter is a little more clever than she looks after all.”

Greed loosened his smile and narrowed his eyes at Philia.

"The artificially constructed alchemical life form (Homunculus) has a great divergence from the inevitability that organisms have acquired in nature, and has a great peculiarity in the body, spirit and intelligence."

In the words that followed, Philia clenched her fist and stood up to Greed.
