Children who were no longer affected by the curse liked me very much.
Maybe it's because I instinctively felt that I was the one who broke the curse that tied them.
'Anyway, it's a problem because they like me so much.... .'
For several months already, children have been gathering together at Dahlia Palace every day.
As soon as the sun rose, I closed my eyes as I watched the children gathered in front of the Dahlia Palace.
"Once everyone gathered here."
As I clapped my hands lightly, the children who had been talking to each other gathered in front of me.
"Well, you, you, and you!"
Standing in front of the children, I first sniffed. In the scent of children like savory roasted marshmallows, the smell of a terrible rose is smelled.
I soon picked out only the kids with aura mottled and made a round circle around me. The unselected children sigh as if they were sorry.
"Are you playing with us today?"
"Huh."
Not knowing why they were clapping with me, the children were excited and started singing along.
"Foo-o-o-o-e-"
"o-o-e-o-o-o-o-o."
Clap-clap-clap-clap-
The most effective way to cleanse an aura was through physical contact. I adopted clap play to purify the children's auras without revealing my abilities.
"What? I am!"
"I also!"
When children who have not yet learned order are trying to rush, I can just follow Dietrich once.
"Writing."
"Oh, okay. Don't be angry."
I wasn't really angry, but the children quickly became quiet because they wanted to play with me too much.
'Ok. Is this enough for today?'
Fortunately, because of the destruction of all the statues, there were fewer children coming from polluting Aura.
Sometimes children contaminated like this were seen, but the degree was not severe. There were also many children who regained their own aura as much as brushing their hair once.
'Most of them are purified to the extent that they clap their hands like this.... .'
The problem was the grown-up kids like Alphonse. I sighed as Alphonse's sword touched him, sweeping his throat.
'If I touch my bracelet one more time, I know I'll die.'
I certainly managed to cleanse Alphonse's bracelet by secretly infiltrating the Palace of Liatris. However, the broken bracelet had no effect on Alphonse.
The longer the exposure to the curse was, the harder it was to wash the aura clean.
'Okay? The only reason I'm not killing you now is because you're protected by that damn constraint.'
Alphonse pushed me out of the palace of Liatris, muttering unknown words, whether or not the successor's restrictions.
His black polluted aura did not clear up no matter how hard I tried.
'His aura looks like Derek in the first place, so it seems awful.'
I finally decided to give up Alphonse neatly. Aura purification is a method of regaining its own aura, but it was not a magic that made bad humans good.
"Sigh."
Even though I played with the children for a while, my whole body lost energy.
I sighed, not like a child, and washed my face dry with my two small hands.
"Ah, is it hard, Nissa?"
"Huh."
"Why?"
I laughed hungryly at the children's innocent questions. Of course, the children are very cute.
'But there are more than ten Lagrange children! Together, dozens of people!'
The kids here don't know how to play normally. It was natural that I had never played.
Everyone must have been in a hurry to survive, and hunting was the closest thing to play among the ways children spend time.
The majority of children had never even tried to play house games, playing dolls, and even the common people who were not children of aristocrats enjoyed it.
"Ah Nissa, what are we playing with today?"
"I'm going to do something called ice it."
"Ice it?"
"Yes, it's a game I made."
It's a red lie, but when I asked how I knew it, there was nothing to say.
"Wow. Anit seems to be very smart."
"That's right. Our Anit is a genius."
I shrugged at the children's compliments, and let me set the tag with the rock-paper-scissors I previously told them.
'I remember the day I told you this rock paper scissors.'
I used rock paper scissors more than three hundred times.
The kids quickly tasted the real'game' they first tasted-not a terrifying game of catching an assassin or killing a half brother.
"Are you going to do it with an apostle?"
"Huh? I want to rest."
"No! Let's do it!"
I smiled weakly as I watched the chirping children as a chick.
'tiring...…. . Are you not tired.'
Saesam Respect for kindergarten and daycare teachers across the country rose.
"Yes, I see."
"Okay! Okay! Who's talking this time?"
"I'll do it. No, I'll do it."
Playing with children was very hard physically, but there was also the advantage that my pronunciation improved quickly because I spoke a lot.
'I have to show it to Dietrich.'
Every time I asked him where he was, Baal or Yurik ran away from my eyes.
Both of them looked at me and seemed to be out of Lagrange and in a different place.
'I'll be surprised when it comes.'
Because I've never met, I couldn't even say anything about what made the kids crowded at Dahlia Palace.
" I'll count to a hundred!"
I pretended to be a tag, hugged a large tree, and closed my eyes. Instead of hiding, the triplets follow me and cling to me like a tree.
"What are you doing?"
I stared at the children with my eyes wide open. Rosé, the only girl in the triplets, laughs and holds my hand.
"We want to talk about love."
"Because we are the best friend of Anit."
"We are the best friend. Isn't it?"
I hesitated for a moment when Meslow and Riesling asked with a bright eye.
"No?"
Rosé urges an answer in a depressed voice.
"Oh, yes, I'm the best friend in the world with you."
"They are the best friends with you."
No, why is his voice disappointed again because he's closest to you?
"Huh?"
But Rosé's voice couldn't be that low. I forgot to count the numbers in amazement and turned around and suddenly my body lifted up.
"why."
A low voice that sounds like a sigh rings in my ears. I blinked my eyes wide and reached out to Dietrich.
"Dietrich!"
"What happened while I wasn't there."
He hugged me like the man who saw me yesterday with a casual face. It's been a while since he was only caring for children while he was away.
"What are all those kids?"
'As soon as I meet him, I'm happy.'
Nevertheless, it was Dietrich who had not seen the seasons change. I hugged his neck in tears and gladness. The smell of the forest that I missed is full.
Dietrich pressed my cheeks with a careless face.
"Do the answer first, Anissa."
"Heying."
"Don't cry."
Dietrich wiped the tears from my eyes with his fingertips and dazzled my lips.
"You've grown up a little."
Of course I grew up too, but it was Dietrich who grew up quickly. That new height has grown by a factor and now looks closer to a boy than to a child.
Eleven years old.
He was eleven now. It was because of the hard work of delivering milk when I was a kid, but it looked bigger than that.
"Dietrich, where the hell have you been?"
Dietrich, who still ignores my question, looked around and laughed low again.
"The first thing I asked about was who the kids are, Anissa."
It would be very embarrassing for him, as the children who have never seen it come home after a few months are so busy.
I stuttered open my mouth for clarification.
"I've gotten close to them."
"..... ."
"Even if I were bored without Dietrich."
Dietrich added that he would be disappointed, but he did not show much inspiration. Soon he exhales a short breath.
".....You said you got close to Catherine Fermat's children?"
"Do you know us?"
At Rose's question, Dietrich resigned a little nervously. The body shakes from side to side because it is the same as it is holding me.
"Clap!"
At that time, Meslow, who only stared at us, claps his hands and steps forward.
"I remember who you are! Dietrich! Dietrich Lagrange-."
Meslow, staring up at Dietrich looking coldly at them, suddenly raises his voice and closes his mouth with Girenola.
The frightened children's shoulders began to tremble.
'Suddenly why is such a story?'
I reached out towards the children, held in Dietrich's arms.
"What is it?"
"Ah, Nissa! It's dangerous! Come here!"
What on earth is it dangerous? I opened my eyes round on Riesling's white, tired face.
"You have to run away."
"Huh?"
"Dietrich LaGrange is the one who has eliminated all of Fermat's children who existed before us!"
Riesling says, with Dietrich laughs at his child, raising one of his mouths.
"Ah."
Only then did I nod as if I remembered it, and it was like a villain that I had to bite my lips tightly.
"Do you express that you participated in the game and was erased by losing?"
"You're the cause. Even Shobi said he didn't want to join the game! He was about to give up!!"
Riesling was almost on the verge of crying now. I stuttered, making eye contact with the child with so much tears.
"Well, it wouldn't be that way, because Dietrich doesn't mean to kill a child or not."
"No! Your brother killed Shobi!"
I slowly turned to Rosé's screaming shout.
"Dietrich, is what the kids say is true?"
Dietrich nodded right away without hesitation at my question.
"A child who wasn't really willing to participate in the candidate game... ."
'Did you kill it?'
Dietrich gave strength to the hand that held me silently.
".....Now and what does that mean,"
I couldn't really answer his self-help questions.
I couldn't properly answer his self-help questions.
The triplets who were crying pretending to be innocent like that would have survived at the expense of other brothers.
I've already seen Dietrich dismiss assassins without emotion, many times over and over again.
It is a fact that I knew from the beginning that he was not just Him, the just protagonist.
'But if there was no intention to participate, it means that the child who did not need to be was removed.'
Dietrich, as I know it, wasn't the one to do such a useless thing.
"Huh?"
Then a black aura spreading from his chest came into his eyes.
Dietrich's aura was as dark as charred ashes, so it was so dim that it wouldn't appear spotless unless you look at it with concentration.
"Did you have something like that?"
