Chapter 43 – And Then Visitation Trial (4)
I don’t know what happened.
Until this morning, it should have just been a regular morning.
I was woken up at night, and only slept a little again, but it still did not bother me at all because Jaja and Nana were cute.
Finish breakfast with Aoi alternately, wash dishes for four people including dads, check the weather forecast to make sure it’s sunny, use the washing machine, clean the corridor in the meantime, dry the laundry, be surprised by Aoi’s underwear, received Officer Doggy’s visit.
Although there were a lot of various irregular things, it was our daily life.
I thought it would be like this tomorrow as well.
Yet why was I being given the option of parting with the twins right now?
Something that couldn’t be helped, it was unreasonable, just why the h.e.l.l.
“But, but! What about Jaja and Nana’s breast milk! It’s no good without Kunpei-san!”
“I’ve heard a bit about it from the old man rat, but is that guy really necessary?”
Yule-san calmly responded to Aoi’s shout.
Alba Germain responded with a bitter smile.
“On whether or not he’s necessary, he is. In order for them to grow up health, it’s best that they take in the human factor from his body. Also, the eggs were hatched with his blood, they can only get in contact with him. Well, it’s not like there isn’t another subst.i.tute, but…”
Oi.
“You! You never said anything about that!”
“Well, that’s right. I don’t really recommend it much since it’ll be opposed. Besides, I’m a dragon doctor and an ally of the dragons, why do I have to take you humans into consideration?”
This b.a.s.t.a.r.d!
Who was it that said that it was good that I was the father!
“So what method is it?”
“It’ll be fine if they eat a human. But I said it earlier, I don’t recommend it. In the first place, the twins have not been weaned yet, and other problems may arise because it’s bad for digestion. The difference in blood types may also have harmful effects. Moreover, Aoi hates it.”
“Naturally! There’s no way I’ll allow that for Jaja and Nana!?”
“What do you take humans for!”
Only Yule-san and Alba were calm.
Aoi and I were agitated like our bodies were heating up.
“What’s the human factor, and how do you give it to the twins?”
Disregarding us, Yule-san, no Yule, continued to speak.
“I can’t say for sure since there’s no precedent, but what I found out from examining them in the past few days was human sicknesses. Dragons contract dragon sicknesses, and are unrelated to human sicknesses. But, the twins took in a lot of human parts because of his blood. If they don’t take in immunization information from a human, it’ll be a serious problem when they contract something. If they take it in then with the dragon’s vitality then they probably wouldn’t get sick.”
“You gotta make some sacrifices, huh.”
“Mother! Please listen!”
Aoi weeped while imploring Yule.
Nana who was watching her mama cry was surprised and staring in wonder.
“These guys are good people just like you said, but so what? Are they strong enough to be able to deal with the bad guys coming together and attacking? Are you able to grow enough to fight and protect the twins? In reality, your eggs were stolen, right?”
“That’s! That’s…”
“If you can’t do it, mother will catch the humans and ground them into a fine powder so that it’s a bit easier to digest. It’s fine we don’t say anything even when the twins grow up.”
I scowled at Alba Germain.
“I thought it was strange that this person came straight to our house! You, did you meet this guy before coming here?”
“That’s of course, there’s no one else other than me who could have told her about this place and Aoinoun’s situation, right?”
“Why are you acting so nonchalant!”
A part of my mind was calm, regardless, Alba Germain was clamoring like nothing was wrong.
“Aoi, listen well. You are fascinated by the beauty of the human world that you are coming into contact with for the first time, and you’re indulging in euphoria that’s filled your hollow, empty heart.”
“That’s! I don’t deny it, but!”
Aoi shook her head grudgingly and resisted Yule’s remarks.
“I understand.”
Suddenly, a huge blue wing appeared on Yule’s back.
Even though it was folded, it was huge enough to fill up half of the room.
“Hey…”
“Mother!?”
Next to me, who was astonished by the huge wings that suddenly appeared, Aoi showed a confused expression.
“Is it unreasonable to restrain you here?”
A strong wind blew violently.
You could not stand without bracing your legs against the gust of wind that came through the window and broke through the door.
“Guu!”
“Mother, what are you doing?! Mother!”
I protected Jaja, who was looking up at me with her thumb in her mouth.
I pulled Aoi who continued to question Yule and Nana who was in her arms closer, and hugged her shoulder.
“If that’s the case, I’ll protect you guys in my own way. Even if they don’t intend to do anything to you, this world will not be kind to the twins.”
“What do you mean? Hey, I don’t understand what you’re saying!”
“Aoi, it’s dangerous!”
The wind danced around in the room, the scattered clothes and the leaves that flew in from outside the window were a mess.
Finally, Yule took a big breath, closed her eyes and looked up at the sky.
A dry sound like a tree branch snapping rang in succession within the room, and the white horns on both sides of Yule’s head began to glow.
“If you’re not going to do as your told, I’m going to get rid of the cause. First that brat, then this family. If they’re dead, there’s no reason for you to stay in the human world, right?”
“D-don’t say stupid things!”
Yule-san slowly opened her eyes and pointed at me.
“Hey, Aoi, even if you have the power and can protect the twins, their existence will become your weakness.”
Aoi looked at me.
Confusion and fright, and then a bitter expression filled with agony.
“Now then, when you have to choose between your daughters and that guy, what can you do?”
That was Aoi’s final warning.
