The Outer God Needs Warmth-Chapter 241: Unfortunately, I got attached to it (6)
As the sound of Gina's body burning completely died down, the lab fell into silence again.
And then a chilling gaze landed on me.
I know this even though I can't see it.
It's Gever's gaze toward me, and there's fear in it.
I guess he has no intention of finding the truth.
Instead of feeling curiosity about the unknown when seeing something unidentifiable, he rejects and rejects it.
Honestly, it wasn't that horrible of a sight, right? A wizard like Gever wouldn't feel guilty about being a child, and he probably did that because he needed to call him dad.
Well, I used telepathy to begin with, so who would have thought that someone would burn because they were cold?
But they're scared when they see me. What the heck.
Hmm. I turned my gaze and looked around at the chimeras.
The scream Gina had screamed was pressed into the chimeras' expressions.
They screamed that they were cold.
I feel the cold too. It’s a cold I’ll never get used to.
Since it’s called empathy, if you think and feel like me... ... . I guess it’s not strange for me to be like that.
Wow, but I’m really jealous.
It’s not like they unilaterally felt me, but maybe they shared their feelings. That’s why I feel so jealous. They’re both like me, but they’re the only ones who ran away.
“Assistant. The observation data from today’s experiment. Pull it all out. And clean it up.”
“Yes, I understand.”
While I was envious of the dead Gina, Jever, who had come to his senses, said in a voice that sounded like he’d aged by several years, and left the lab without even looking around.
The assistant had the chimera organize the data and cleaned up the last traces of Gina that Jever said were there.
The hands that were collecting Gina’s ashes looked quite careful. I saw it because of the chimera harvester that brought the cleaning tools.
The assistant definitely has emotions.
When you say emotions, I thought of a guy named Jever.
Isn't he mentally weak considering his actions are like those of an evil wizard or a mad scientist? If things don't work out, he quits right away and leaves the lab, and then after a few days, he crawls back.
If you meet a god or a devil, do you react as if you're seeing something for the first time that you've already experienced?
Or are you the type that gets stressed out when things don't go the way you thought they would?
Hmm.
It's strange that he got stressed out because of a horrible sight. I think it was because his plans went awry.
You can tell just by looking at him.
Judging by the fact that he's painted his mansion with chimeras, he can't stand having another personality. He can't possibly have that kind of tolerance.
He's the type that can only feel safe when there's an absolute gap between parent and child. In fact, it's incredibly common. That's probably why he made the hybrid call him dad.
Because he can't feel safe otherwise.
In society, they are at the bottom, but they are usually violent towards their own family or children.
This type can be subdued with violence. However, if you are going to do it, you must make them submit. If you do it half-heartedly, they will try to regain the upper hand by mentioning human rights or parental rights.
Otherwise, their hearts will break, so they will fight back desperately. So if you do it half-heartedly, they will receive even greater retaliation.
You have to completely break their hearts with violence so that they do not rebel.
In short, they are like wild dogs. If you make the hierarchy clear, they will submit to it.
Of course, unless they suffer permanent disabilities or something, they will still have a rebellious spirit even if they submit. Therefore, when dealing with them, even if you break them once, you have to treat them like slaves, not family.
You can treat them like slaves. The interesting thing about this type of people is that they do not ask for help from outside to escape that slavery.
Why? Because direct violence goes beyond social authority. Even animals know when their lives are in danger.
I guess Jeber is at this level.
So, unless he is subdued by violence, he will come back to me to ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ satisfy his pride.
I want to pretend that he was scared of me.
So there is no problem with my interaction with Jeber. They will try hard to interact with me.
That is why I am interested in the difficult side.
A special chimera named Assistant.
The most powerful one.
The only chimera that has light and warmth the same size as a human.
As far as I know, warmth is a possibility.
If it is big, maybe it is possible to rebel?
I think I can do a lot when my harvest season comes.
I wait like I always do, checking the points that I have to watch.
I am really good at waiting.
***
The third world.
It has been quite some time since I came out to the small house and started living alone.
One day, a few days before I returned to my second year at the Royal Academy.
Suddenly, the royal family called me.
A car came to my house, and they handed me a piece of paper with some kind of seal and told me to come to the royal palace.
No, they could have just called me, but they really bothered me.
Haven't they ever called me like this before?
Or maybe they had taken care of such annoying things at their dorm.
Anyway, after going through the suddenly-created procedure, I headed to the royal palace.
It wasn't that far compared to where I used to live, so it took about the same amount of time to get to the royal palace. However, when I entered the royal palace, instead of getting off at the usual place, I went further inside.
Instead of the place where the king's office was, they took me to a place I had been to before when I had an international conference.
As soon as I got off, I was taken to a place full of maids, where I was washed from head to toe and had to change my clothes.
At that time, there was a maid who muttered, “Is this human skin?” She was very sharp.
She’s not a human.
She was originally a piece of meat made to resemble a body for the descent of Daegon. So I don’t know about her actual lifespan or anything like that. Since she was artificially fixed like in the first world, she could be completely different from a human.
I’ll see the difference as time goes by.
After spending some time getting ready while thinking about that, I followed the guide to a certain place.
There’s a banquet going on inside.
The atmosphere isn’t as serious as last time. Most of the older people are relieved and at ease. The younger ones are mostly nervous and interested.
And just like at the last international conference, more than 60% of them are foreigners.
No, there are countries where you can’t tell the difference between a Korean and a foreigner just by their appearance, so there must actually be more foreigners.
If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.
Among those foreigners, I see faces I saw at the last international conference.
There’s a man who I remember introducing himself as the king, and another man who introduced himself as the king’s older brother.
When I first heard about that side, I thought to myself, “Why isn’t he dead?” Even the most docile royal family usually cleans up the surrounding clutter after seizing the throne.
In particular, they never give him a job as a diplomat, which has the potential to do something overseas.
If he claims to be the right king, he can borrow foreign troops, overthrow the current king, and sit in his place without any problems.
No, there will actually be a lot of problems, but if you look at it from these two perspectives, whether it’s possible or not, it’s possible.
That’s why I remember thinking it was so strange.
As I was looking around, someone called me.
When I turned my head in that direction, Hypion was there.
I was going to greet him, but I had no time to make excuses about not learning, so I greeted him in a way that was appropriate for this country.
Then the king smiled faintly, showing slight satisfaction.
People in higher classes almost instinctively feel hostility when they see something that goes against etiquette.
Even though I know it’s not an attack, seeing you feel that way makes me think you’re a really annoying creature.
As I was wondering if I should just stand there like a doll today, the king brought me in front of a girl.
Purple hair and blue skin. The youngest princess of this kingdom. Aurora.
And he introduced me to Aurora.
“It’s been a while!”
Aurora smiled brightly and approached me, grabbing both my hands. She looked different than the last time I saw her. Is she being careful about her actions because there are so many people?
“She’s in the same grade as you. You’ll be able to see her when you enter the Royal Academy this year.”
“Yes. I know. I hope we can be in the same class this time!”
When Hypion pointed at me and said that, Aurora nodded.
And she said that with a really selfless expression, gently squeezing my hand. It really makes me happy.
I know why.
In order to get top grades at the Royal Academy, I studied really hard for half a year after waking up.
That was the condition set by Sorindigas, the next king of this country, so Aurora really gritted her teeth and did it.
There was nothing she could do.
Aurora pretended not to know to others, but in reality, she was the one who had to go to the Royal Academy.
I knew I would die without being admitted.
It wasn't the beginning of last year or the end of the year before that I was cursed by Maleficent, but the day she was born. Anyone who was there couldn't not know.
No matter how much I tried to keep my mouth shut, it was hard not to know.
That's why I worked hard to achieve my dream, and I got the results.
That's why I'm so happy.
Wasn't she quite sharp the last time we met?
Ugh.
She's a person who wears multiple masks. She wears them depending on the situation, but none of them are fake, they're all real.
I remember that she became a scary politician if she could wear the right mask depending on the time and place.
The way she looked that day, or the way she looks now. They're all real. In a place with so many people, she just thinks it's right to act this way.
The story got longer after that.
No, it almost got longer, but Hypion cut it off.
“This person still has work to do. You can meet him at the Royal Academy soon, so ask him then.”
“Oh, yes! I’m sorry for holding you back when you’re busy.”
I politely greeted her and left with Hypion. At the same time, I glanced at Sorindigas walking away.
I looked up at Hypion as he stopped walking.
“This gathering is for the children who are entering the Royal Academy this year and their parents.”
I heard that they are sending their children to study abroad at educational institutions in safe countries because their countries are in danger.
“And they are the ones who will have to exert their power someday.”
Hehe. This is exactly what I wanted.
But instead of expressing that desire, I pretended not to know and answered,
“I will do whatever you say.”
Hypion then added that he was sorry for being so pushy and told me to contact him whenever I needed anything.
That need is to make the ruler who sits high into a harvester. But if I say it out loud, it'll be weird, right?
So I just accepted it.
Hypion then told me to enjoy this banquet and go back, and then turned to Aurora.
Oh, alone?
That guy is neglecting me more than I thought.
It's a useful tool, but I guess he doesn't think it's an important tool. I'll make a note to be a little more humble when I ask for something in the future.
