Chapter 173: The World a Demon Lord Only Knows (10)
A young kid had stood up in the middle of the group of humans who were seated. I turned to look at their face because they had spoken in an old-timey way of speech despite being a slash-and-burn villager. It was a girl.
“…….”
Eyes that were as dark as obsidian were shimmering with life. Her gaze alone wasn’t nearly enough to contain all of her life force as it stretched out on all sides like invisible branches.
There was a certain type of air flowing around the girl that was different from the dry ticking of a clock. It felt like a melody that was influencing the time.
I was caught in those black eyes and could not move for a while. The girl raised her hand to her chest and bowed neatly to me as soon as we made eye contact. She was waiting for my response. In other words, a lot of time hadn’t passed since our eyes met.
“Daisy!”
The woman, the hero’s mother who didn’t flinch or weep all this time let out a shout. She raised her head and looked at the girl with despair. Her face was already covered in tears, so it was like adding a flood to a river.
Although it would only be right to reprimand her for her discourtesy, I felt like a hammer had struck my head.
Daisy, that was the name of the hero’s little sister.
