The crimson princess-Chapter 190: The worst parent in the world

Pov Dia,

Iruma's body stretched, taking on the appearance of her parents.

Iruma: "Hello, Dad. Hello, Mom."

Iruma's father: "Hi, Iruma. You managed to earn a nice salary for your parents."

And the victory? Coming in first place in the Pure Parent rankings.

Iruma's mother: "Remember, if you don't earn enough, you'll have to live on your own."

And in this contest, there weren't just one but two winners.

How can parents be so irresponsible?

Dia: "You must be Iruma-kun's mother and father?"

Iruma's father: "Indeed, we are."

Dia: "Perfect. I have a proposal for you. I'll give you 1 million yen (roughly $6,675), and in exchange, you sell me your son."

Iruma's mother: "Give us the money—quickly!"

Nani!?

I took out a suitcase with the one million yen, handed it over, and immediately took Iruma under my protection. Then they left.

Rias: "Onee-sama, did you really just buy a human?"

Dia: "But how is it even possible to sell your own son—and for such a ridiculous amount of money?"

Rias: "So you really did buy Iruma?"

Dia: "How was I supposed to know they would accept so easily? My brain just shut down when they agreed! Otherwise, I would never have given them the money without saying anything."

But the most important thing in all of this was Iruma's reaction. When I turned to him, he looked as if he was about to crumble into dust.

Dia: "Hey, you okay?"

Iruma: "How could they do this to me? I swear, if I ever see them again, I'll tell them that, uh... what they did was really not nice."

That has to be the most pathetic reaction in the world. And what kind of phrase is that? It's not even intimidating—it sounds like he's asking his parents for forgiveness instead!

Dia: "No need to cry over spilled milk. You should be glad they sold you to us and not to someone shady."

Rias: "Onee-sama, don't you think that two Devils from high society—one of whom is also the head of the Crimson Faction—are at least a little shady?"

Dia: "You're not wrong on that point, but at least we have no bad intentions. Can you imagine if he had ended up in the Naberius family again?"

He would have been just another experiment. And on top of that, I can sense a Sacred Gear within him, which would have made him even more interesting as a test subject.

I waved my hand, creating a massive invisible barrier to keep the conversation private.

Dia: "The first thing I want to say is that I'm sorry. I never thought your parents would actually accept that offer."

Iruma: "Don't worry, they're the ones at fault."

What a kind child, despite everything.

Dia: "Now, what we're about to say is important and must not be revealed to ordinary people. Riri and I are Devils."

Our bat-like wings appeared on our backs—mine especially intimidating, as expected from someone with my name, with their deep crimson color.

I let Riri handle the introduction to the supernatural world since Iruma will have to stay with us. Before being exploited, it's inevitable that he will come to know about the supernatural.

With three hand gestures, I signaled the Shadow Garden member hiding nearby to take action—ruining Iruma's parents and leading them to their doom.

They discarded their child as if he were an object, so I would dispose of them as if they were mere insects.
