Chapter 127
127 Part 1
“Da, daddy?”
I grabbed my surprised daughter’s hand and did what I came here to do. Sorry kid, but my instincts are screaming for me to stay put recently. Even if I had camouflaged myself, it was difficult to believe that there were many people like No. 17 who could not recognize faces. Especially, those like Sia would come up running say that she smelled me. I did not enjoy this village. I had come in a long time and just quickly did my tasks.
“Daddy, money!”
“Here.”
I gave the Metal Bat a pouch with an appropriate amount of gold, silver, and bronze coins. She would survive even if the legendary incarnation of evil, the Demon King, came out. Therefore, the Metal Bat would act solo, but she would only buy snacks with the money and share it with Alice.
“Is there something really wrong?”
My conscience hurt a bit at my daughter’s worried eyes. The village we lived in was sequestered, and for a girl living there, coming here, one of the biggest villages around this area, would be a special treat indeed. It was an event that only happened twice a year!
How could I tell her the truth when I was interfering with that just by my instincts?!
