Chapter 11 - Family Matters: The Coward's Wife and Daughter

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

I didn't sleep at all! I was so happy yesterday that I couldn't close my eyes.

And also... Seeing that scene was like a trigger for me. My pillow suffered yesterday, I had to simulate atrocities with it several times.

I even grabbed a sharp object and started stabbing the poor thing.

Am I crazy?

One thing is certain, simulation won't hold me for much longer, and that's dangerous.

I might even attack Mom or Sophie, I'm not emotionless, I know they care about me and all, but this impulse that consumes me, craving for violence and killing... I don't know what I'll do when I reach my limit.

And you know what? I like this feeling, I always have.

It's like a quote from an philosopher from the earth.

He argued "that men are born good, but in contact with a society that is bad, they become equally bad."

This perspective resonates well with the Christian view, where children would be considered pure and become sinners as they begin to perceive the evils of the world, which involve them.

On the other hand, he defended:

"Man is born bad, with survival instincts, and due to such instincts, he is capable of doing anything."

According to this philosopher, society has the role of educating him, of humanizing him, of making him sociable.

I agree more with this, but with a difference, even when in a pleasant, loving environment, with people who loved me, I longed for violence, am I what they call-

"Holy shit! Mom and I were worried thinking you wouldn't be able to sleep but... It was a crazy hot night with your pillow! Hahahahahaha."

"Bitch- I mean, dear sister, it's not what you're thinking."

"If it's not, then what happened to it?"

"Well..."

I can't tell her what I did...

"See? Silence is consent! Hahahahaha, you look awful! Didn't sleep at all, huh? Take it easy with the poor pillow hahahahaha!!"

"Bitch- Oh, stop talking nonsense and tell me, where's Mom?"

"She went to the Central Legion base, she went to report what happened and make a 'delivery'."

"Oh, I see."

"Are you okay?"

"When I remember, I get restless, but I'm fine. I understand, it's me or them."

"Oh, playing the mature again? Hahaha."

I wouldn't mind if that happened when I had manifested my power, but... Ugh, it's all that damn gossipmonger's fault.

"My dear sister, it all started when that 'Gossipy' spread the rumor, do you know him?"

"Of course, who doesn't know him? He's a gossipmonger, he's been beaten up many times for it, and he's also a coward."

"A coward?"

"Yes, even though we are born with innate gifts, we are not born strong. It all depends on the person, whether they will become stronger or not. However, some people have more talent and can increase their TED more easily. And there are also people who have difficulty evolving. "

"Ohhh."

"He's a coward, he hardly ever set foot in a tropical forest!"

"Ohhh."

This is good, very good!

"My dear sister, does he have a family?"

"Why are you so interested in that pest?"

"N-Nothing in particular. I'm just bored, come on, tell me."

"Hmmmm, he has a daughter and a wife."

"Ohhh. Can you tell me more about his family and their gifts?"

"Why do you want to know? Stop being weird!"

"My dear sister, I've been silent for years, and I've always, ALWAYS wanted to talk to you, so I want to chat with you no matter how random the topic."

"How sweet! But I still remember that you told to talk more quietly and like a 'normal' human."

"I-I was in shock, tell me, I've never asked you for anything before!"

"Weirdo, but okay. The coward was born with the ice, while his wife is a Flower-"

"Tell me more about this Venerated!"

"Hm, followers of Flower can manipulate trees, flowers, and other plant life. That house nearby with two interconnected trees is the work of a Flower follower."

"Ohhh."

"But their strong point is that they can create medicinal herbs. Depending on the follower, their herbs can instantly heal wounds."

"Ohhh."

"But they have a weakness, they are not good at combat! However, their bodies are more resistant, some can regenerate multiple times."

"Ohhh, so someone could tear their arm, legs, other parts but they would heal, and then the person could tear it again and again! Holy shit! Amazing!"

"You're crazy! What the hell are you talking about?"

Shit, I wasn't supposed to say that out loud...

"P-proceed."

"You're crazy! Well, their daughter was born with the mark of the Venerated 'Air'-"

"What? How is that possible? Why not Flower or Venerated Frosty?"

"Well, if two people with different Venerated powers have a child, it's highly possible that the child will inherit one of the Venerated powers from their parents. However, it's not uncommon for the child to have a different power."

"Ohhh, I see."

Well, it seems like there's not much prejudice against people with different powers, as they even enter into relationships with each other.

But surely some are more fanatical than others.

"Did you finish your questioning session?"

"Oh, yes. What an interesting family! Kukukukukukuku."

"Stop laughing like that! Weird! Do you want me to throw your pillow in the trash or do you want mommy to see that her son is no longer innocent? Hahahahahaha!"

"Bitch-"
