Bold Little Girl (3)

Aileen and the Azure Lotus Mercenary Group, upon arriving in Lecante, couldn’t help but marvel at the pillar of light visible from afar. Lecante, a wasteland? Hameil resolved to smack the lips off anyone who dared utter such words in his presence.

Yujin’s Mana Core, automatically maintaining and repairing the city.

The unidentified skyscrapers rising around it.

It was undeniably a city.

As clean and developed as the East.

The road had been suspiciously clean, and there it was, a city. But who in their right mind would pave roads in such a desolate place? No, wait. He needed to consider the order of events. Who in their right mind would build a ‘city’ in such a desolate place?

“I think this is the right place! I can feel Mom’s Mana!”

Aileen resonated with the flow of Mana.

She couldn’t hide her excitement.

She wanted to run there immediately, but just as Yujin feared their meeting, Aileen was also nervous. Would she feel awkward with her, now that she had grown so much? If so, she would simply try to be loved. Aileen was ready to do anything for her parents.

“Is that the main gate…?”

• Hiiiing!

Hameil parked the carriage on a flat area.

“Let’s get off for now.”

He stepped onto the stone-paved road. He licked his dry lips, estimating the amount of money poured into this city. Even outside the walls, it was this clean… what must it be like inside?

He raised his head to look at the towering walls. And once again, he was amazed. The material of those magnificent walls was Parnium. And 100% pure Parnium at that.

Usually, it’s mixed with other materials… but they’re using it whole? For this massive wall? Even if they could get the materials, the cost would be astronomical. Hameil wondered if the owner of this city was really a dragon.

“Oop-cha.”

Pop. Aileen lightly jumped out of the carriage.

She could feel her mom’s Mana throughout the entire city. This place, Lecante, gave Aileen an even more comfortable feeling than Kardrasil. She had found the place where she belonged. Aileen gripped her staff and looked up at the sky.

Spirits, drawn by the Mana of Yujin and Aileen, danced in the sky. They sprinkled glittering light powder, accepting the abundant Mana currents with their entire being.

“Wow! There’s a golem over there!”

Lowering her head, she looked around the walls and spotted a strangely shaped stone figure in the distance. It was too blunt to be a person, and too stiff to be another living creature.

-Human detected.

It was a golem.

When the golem met Aileen’s gaze, it approached with its core glowing blue.

-Identity unknown. Initiating investigation.

Thump, thump. A steel golem, well over 2 meters tall, approached. A self-defense golem created by Yujin. Its core turned red.

Hameil, aware of the golem’s presence, straightened his back and tensed up. Magicians occasionally created golems, but they were usually classified as monsters. If that thing attacked, he was sure he would die in one hit, no joke.

“…I’m not seeing things, am I?”

“You’re not seeing things! That’s a doll Mom made!”

“Oh, Mom did?”

-Documentation related to identity is required.

Hameil snapped back to his senses at the mechanical voice.

“I, I am Hameil, the owner of the wandering merchant group, Azure Lotus! Here, I have documents certified by the Merchant Guild.”

-Verification complete. Welcome to Lecante.

Kugugugung…. The firmly closed gates opened. Aileen was simply amazed by all of this, but Hameil and the members were surprised in a slightly different way.

They had only seen a glimpse of Lecante, but goosebumps were already rising. They were thrilled by the city’s overwhelming scale.

The city didn’t seem that big. However, its technology was second to none in the Empire. It was full of things they had never heard of, and much of it was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

However, what was clearly etched in their minds was.

‘This is an opportunity.’

It was an opportunity.

“Ajusshi, Ajusshi!”

Aileen shouted, jumping up and down.

“Can I go ahead? I want to see her quickly, quickly!”

Her mom was in the center of there. Aileen was certain. She didn’t need to find her way with the staff. She just had to follow the Mana flow she felt now, and she would surely meet her mom.

“Ah, alright. Before that, could you tell me who the lord of this place is?”

“Of course, it’s Mom! I’m going now! Thanks for the fun ride!”

The spirits gathered. Aileen put Aura on her feet and jumped powerfully. Taak! She leaped, taking in the scenery of the magical city of Lecante. She dashed, feeling each and every creation her mom had made.

“Let’s go, everyone!”

Hameil.

“…Let’s follow her too.”

He trudged along, following the footsteps of the spirits.

“Shuri, haa. El, please get rid of some of this Semen.”

The beastly coitus was abruptly ended by Alphenris’s bombshell. I pulled out my dick, which had reached her womb, and squeezed the Semen out of her swollen belly. I convulsed, still shamelessly cumming as I pulled my dick out.

“Hieuuk…?”

Of all times, she had to come now. I wasn’t even mentally prepared, and she came when I was having such sleazy sex. I used Clean magic to get rid of the remaining Semen and stood up on my trembling legs.

A red-haired girl who looked like me was calling for her mom? Only one thing came to mind.

‘Aileen.’

The promise with the World Tree was for three months.

Exactly two days were left until the deadline. I was planning to use teleportation to go to Kardrasil on the day of the three months. But the fact that she had come to find me meant that her body had already been completed a long time ago.

Was the World Tree lying? Or maybe her body was created faster than expected, and they just sent her.

“…Where is that little one now?”

Shuriel asked, instead of me, who was still struggling in pleasure. Alphenris tilted her head, noticing our serious atmosphere, and answered.

“She’s waiting in the annex while we investigate her identity… for some reason, she’s wearing clothes that Elves would wear? Should I bring her here for now?”

Clothes that Elves would wear.

It was certain.

I bit my lip tightly and stood up, supporting myself on the ground.

“I’ll, I’ll go find her. Shuriel, too, together…”

I couldn’t greet my daughter looking so unsightly. If I showed her this state, I might die of self-loathing. I straightened my disheveled dress and left the room.

“Please guide me, Pani.”

“Yesh~”

The annex was built to fill empty land. The number of buildings was considerable, and now they were used as dormitories for soldiers and maids. Shuriel and I lived in the main building and didn’t go out much, and the city was kept clean 24 hours a day thanks to the maintenance core, so we didn’t have to do any chores.

Having escaped from their tight work schedules, they paired up, men and women, to explore the beautiful streets, or spent time enjoying the entertainment facilities installed throughout the city.

The scenery of Lecante was as beautiful as a tourist city, and a magical dreamlike atmosphere, unseen in any other city, permeated the air, pleasing their eyes and ears.

There was a reason why they had decided to live here, even after being fired. In fact, rumors had spread that if they had a child, they would be allowed to live here, so they had sex even more actively.

At first, they were cautious and only mixed bodies at night, but when Shuriel and I were always holed up in the main building having sex and didn’t come out, their limiters were also released. Some even openly mixed bodies outside. After all, it was an uninhabited city. Even if they moaned in shameful positions in the middle of the street, there was no one to see.

Unceasing lewd moans, morning and night.

But today, it was suspiciously quiet.

It was thanks to the unexpected guest who had come.

“Shu, Shuriel, could you open it…?”

At the main gate of the annex.

I was afraid to grab the doorknob. Aileen was on the second floor of the annex. When I visualized the Mana I felt, I saw Aileen munching on the snacks the maids had brought.

I wasn’t scared. Living with Shuriel, I knew how negative and unnecessary my worries were. There was no way Aileen would hate me.

Instead, I felt sorry. I was ashamed to show my face. I knew it, but I showed her an unsightly appearance and made my daughter worry. It was the worst prenatal care.

“Yujin.”

Shuriel grabbed the doorknob and opened his mouth.

“…Straighten your shoulders. How can the parent who will be her mirror show such a 모습?”

“….”

Hearing Shuriel’s words, I straightened my back. Yes, I am Aileen’s mirror. What good would it do for me to be depressed? I raised my drooping lips. I lifted my head with a more confident look.

• Kkiiiek…

The door opened.

“Let’s go up.”

There was no one on the first floor of the annex.

However, there was definitely a presence.

-When are Mom and Dad coming?

-…Are you talking about the young miss and the young master?

Right above.

A cheerful girl’s voice.

-Ki, Kid! You can’t eat that!

-Aren’t you supposed to eat this?

-That’s soap!

• Squeak, squeak.

The stairs creaked as we stepped on them. Was that the sound of my heart creaking? Shuriel and I were extremely nervous at the fact that we would meet Aileen if we just turned one corner.

…No. Shuriel was fine.

I was the only one who was nervous.

“Stay still! Or the soldier Ajusshi will scold you…”

“Eung? Uh, uh?”

The corner towards a new beginning.

Red hair could be seen through the gap. I took a deep breath and took a step forward-to meet my daughter, who had grown so much.

“…….”

“…….”

Aileen.

She was staring at me with her mouth wide open, covered in snacks.

Red hair like mine, clear eyes like Shuriel’s.

She had grown more than I had seen in the mental world, but-she was definitely my daughter, my one and only daughter, my precious daughter for whom I would give my life if she wanted.

“Aileen.”

Aileen widened her eyes and trembled. Her hair stood on end, and the corners of her mouth rose as if they would tear. Mana fluctuated. It was a torrent of joy.

“Mom――!!!”

“Kyaak?!”

A small girl, barely 140cm tall, who fit perfectly in my small frame, reached out her slender hands. Aileen shot out of the chair as if ejected.

I reflexively opened my arms and hugged Aileen. The force was so weak, but I couldn’t resist it.

I fell backward. If I fell like this, I would definitely roll down the stairs. I had to stop myself no matter what, but my paralyzed brain couldn’t come up with anything.

But I didn’t roll down the stairs.

• Wharack.

“Be careful.”

Shuriel.

He caught me as I fell.

“Dad――!!!”

Aileen cutely raised her head from my arms and looked at Shuriel.

The dad she could only see through my eyes was right in front of her. Aileen couldn’t control her joy and reached out to Shuriel.

“Dad, Dad! I missed you!”

Shuriel seemed awkward at the sight of Aileen, who looked exactly like me. He awkwardly scratched his head and didn’t do anything.

It was Shuriel who had advised me to straighten my shoulders, but when he actually met his daughter, he was more nervous than I was. He rolled his eyes and crossed his arms. Having watched Shuriel for a long time, I knew that was the expression he showed when he wanted to say something.

“How about saying hello?”

I stroked Aileen’s hair and muttered. Aileen, who had rubbed her head until it was worn out, asked for something else with a beaming face.

“Kiss me! Kiss!”

“Kiss…?”

“The thing Mom and Dad always do! I want you to do it to me too!”

“Al, Always do?”

Twitch. My body stiffened. I felt an extreme sense of incongruity and asked back. It was clearly an innocent request from a child, but maybe it was because I had accumulated too much karma, but it felt strange.

Aileen opened her mouth with a bright face.

“The one where you pin me down and stick your tongue in! I hope you don’t strangle my neck! That hurts!”

“….”

………

……

…I wanted to kill myself.
