Chereads / The Genius with Common Knowledge / Chapter 5 - Final Wish

Chapter 5 - Final Wish

"Ok then, as for my last wish.. All I ask is for my family to have a happy and fulfilling life." Chris said in an endearing manner.

"Oh?"

"I know they weren't a good family for me, but they weren't bad either. They provided my needs until I can provide for myself. No matter what anyone says, I am who I am because of them. It's because of them that I am now able to stand on my own. I still remember those times when my younger siblings weren't born yet. Although it was for a short time, I've lived a life full of love.. and this will be my way of repaying them for that."

"... Besides the insults you've thrown me, you can say some good stuff after all." Merlin smiles.

"Well, anyway, can you do it?"

"Of course! Who do you think I am? I am the one who will beco—"

"Okay okay just go ahead and do it old man." Chris interrupts Merlin.

"Why you little— *sigh* fine, I'll do this quickly so I can finally get rid of this stupid look."

"Done?"

"Yeah, now just stand over there so I can send you off now."

"Huh? Where did this come from?"

"Stop asking questions just hurry up and go."

"Wow, nice attitude. But can I ask you for one last request old man?"

"Tch.. What is it? As long as it is not on the same level as a wish."

"Great, I would just like to say that please don't interfere too much in my new life. I'd like to figure out things on my own as much as possible. I'm used to doing things at my own pace."

"You don't need to tell me that. I don't have any plans to do that so you can just go ahead and die, the sooner the better." Merlin smirks.

"Awesome! I'll try to live as long as possible then. Hahaha!"

"Hmph! If there is nothing else then.. Goodbye, and have a nice death!" Merlin shouts and raises his middle finger towards Chris.

"Hahaha! Thanks Merlin!"

" *smiles* You finally learned how to listen to someone's name. Remember, I am the one who will become the True God! WAHAHAHA!" Merlin laughs hysterically.

...

Back to the present.

...

'Now that I think about it, Merlin's laugh at the end was that of a demon king's laugh, and quite creepy to be honest. Huh? My stomach doesn't feel too good. Ugh, I'm gonna poop.'

Chris saw a silhouette similar to Merlin on the ceiling.

"Uguu, uguu~!" Baby Chris flails his arms around.

'What the hell?! Is this your doing?!'

"What? Doesn't it fit the image of me as a demon king in your head? *smirks* "

'I thought you said you won't interfere in my life here?!'

"I just checked if you were reincarnated safely! Tch. I should've made the reincarnation bumpy."

'Haaaa?! You keep clicking your tongue! And you're supposed to act like a god!'

"Heh, I'm not a god, I'm a demon king *sarcastic laugh* Now then, enjoy my gift for you. WAHAHAHA!" Merlin laughs hysterically again.

'Damn it! That stupid old man, he really IS a demon king. Here is MY gift for you.' Chris raised his middle finger upwards.

"Oh?" A strange man appeared above Chris.

"Fweh?" Chris uttered.

'Oh crap, I just cursed this man!'

"... Looks like my son already knows how to show respect to his dear papa. Kyah! My baby is a genius! A genius I say!" The man giggled.

'Huh? Respect? What is this guy saying? And he's my father?! This abnormal human?!'
