Chapter 241: When the God said it’s a miracle, then it’s a miracle
Did he mean I might have to have a...a three...oh, Mother!
The Demon Lord looked at my face and chuckled. "It’s a miracle, isn’t it?"
That was...one thing to put it.
He looked up again, and this time, muttered in a more serious tone. "I have to admit, when we were working to make this happen, we never thought about your feelings," he said, a wry smile decorating his handsome face that made it hard to get pissed at what he said. "We had never intended for you to fall in love, honestly."
"..."
He glanced at me and shrugged. "In my defense, I had been too detached from that concept to think about it in the middle of trying to prolong this world’s lifespan. I just sent him there so he would know how you look when you meet again in the future for this...business."
I still looked at him silently with pursing lips, and he broke out laughing this time, as if it was a funny business. It wasn’t funny, okay?
"Look," he finally stopped laughing and stood up, looking at me with a twinkling in his eyes. "All I want to say is that whatever happened between you two, whatever feelings you develop, we have nothing to do with it."
...oh?
"We don’t even have the authority over the cycle of life and death, moreover putting feelings into someone’s heart," he said, and as he looked into the black flower, his lips stretched into a softer smile. "And you know, perhaps it would be best to be born anew between such a genuine bond."
Damnit—now he even made me blush! I looked down and patted my heart to hide my fluster. As my gaze fell down, my hands slowly stroked below my chest, thinking about the pulsing cocoon and the seed back home.
