It was then.

[Killheel]: Ha...... It’s been a while since I came

[Killheel]: Blocking everyone.

...Huh?

Uh uh?

‘That nickname is......!’

Victim of Regression Scam: W-w-wait a minute.

Victim of Regression Scam: Hey!! Unblock!! You scammer of this regression!!

Of course, no matter how much they called, it was useless.

[Original Spoiler 7]: What happened?

[FFF-Class Physical]: Who dares to speak so disrespectfully to Killheel?!

[Demonic Chef]: The kind of person who would say that to Killheel-nim is...... huh? Could it be......?

Because of spam, chat was banned and the connection was terminated.

“Magical Princess, why are you like this?”

“Are you feeling upset......?”

Watching the apprentice mage girls immediately doing emotional labor, it was hard to grumble rashly.

“Shall we take a walk?”

“Yes, Magical Princess! I’ll prepare right away!”

I thought it was a decent choice for a mood change. But there was a surprise.

“Finally you came out! Waiting for four hours was worth it!”

A plump old man with a beaming face strode towards me. It was Moriphis Marcelion.

He pulled out a large lollipop from his sleeve pocket and offered it to me.

“Child, I’ll give you this candy, so would you come with me to the research lab?”

A classic line from a child kidnapper.

<Crazy.>

I was thankful Agnes translated the word I wanted to say as ‘my mind is flying away like a balloon.’

Meanwhile, my frail maid sisters didn’t know what to do in front of the Tower Mage second-in-command’s tyranny.

“Mo, Mo, Moriphis-nim......”

“If you do that, hic, it’s no, no good......”

Trembling with fear facing the mad mage but trying somehow to protect me, their hearts moved me.

Now it was time to solve the problem myself.

I took a large lollipop out of my inventory.

“Mister. I’ll give you two, so would you come with me to the security guards? Or would you rather ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) get three and go to the Tower Mage Lord?”

When the Tower Mage Lord was mentioned, Moriphis’s shoulders twitched.

But the madman’s resilience to fear was unnecessarily high, and as always, he showed an unimaginable reaction.

“You’re smart! Truly the child of the Sacred Scripture!”

He was so genuinely impressed he even stopped passing mages to brag.

“Hey you! Do you know what just happened?! I tried to lure the daughter of the Sacred Scripture with candy, but this clever kid pulled out two candies instead and tried to hand me over to the security guards! Isn’t that genius?”

“Yes, well, sure. But why are you bragging about that......?”

“Because she’ll soon be my daughter, so it’s natural I’m happy as a father!”

“Did you reach an agreement......?”

“I’ve never done that in my life!”

Of course, many normal people in the Tower Mage looked at him with contempt and disgust, thinking ‘Is this guy crazy? Oh right, he is.’

Then—

[ Warning. Transcendental skill ‘Gate of Ten Thousand Demons’ is summoned!]

Suddenly, the Devil’s triumphal arch appeared in the middle of the Tower Mage’s central garden. Then a voice like the wrath of the Absolute fell from somewhere.

“Open the gate.”

Chains sealing the gate rattled as they loosened, and the gate slowly opened.

“Hiiiii! It’s really opening! It’s really opening!”

“This, this, this is the first time I’ve seen this!”

“Wasn’t that supposed to be just decoration?”

“Ahhh! The Tower Mage Lord is angry!”

Wizards were in panic before the disaster of ten thousand demons rushing out.

“Kyaaa! It’s dangerous!”

“We have to protect the Magical Princess!”

The fragile maids turned pale and screamed while hugging me. In no time, a spherical barrier made of humans was formed.

Surrounded tightly by them, my eyes were blackening, dying.

‘Reid, you were doing fine recently. Why are you suddenly doing this without consulting me.......’

Reid was watching from a window on the fifth floor of the Tower Mage, expressionless. It reminded me of the final villain who has calmly gone mad.

But watching quietly for a while, something felt odd.

[ World Destruction 33% (-)]

The destruction level was relatively low.

‘What is this?’

The question was soon answered.

Screeeech.

The Gate of Ten Thousand Demons opened just enough for one person to enter and exit. And the countless monsters that jumped out were...

“Huh?”

“Hmm?”

Flabby.

A colorful slime army.

The slimes poured out like balls in a ball pit and occupied the area, focusing only on Moriphis.

“No, no! Why only me......! Whimper!”

Moriphis flailed his limbs as if trapped in a viscous fluid. The slime army then lifted Moriphis and carried him back the way he came.

The Gate of Ten Thousand Demons closed immediately after the slime army receded like a tide. The thud sounded like the burp of a monster after a feast.

“What, what is that? The gate just ate the Chimera researcher and closed?”

“Y-yeah?”

Peace returned to the central garden of the Tower Mage as the gate disappeared.

Moriphis disappeared with it, making the world feel cleaner and more peaceful.

“Um, what happens to Moriphis if he gets sucked in like that?”

My maids asked out of curiosity, so I answered.

“He’s trapped in one of the ownerless territories of the demon world. Even an 8-Circle Archmage will struggle there for a while.”

“Ah, I see!”

“Our Magical Princess! So smart!”

They smiled broadly, but a shadow fell over my head. I looked up and saw the expected face.

“Ah, Reid.”

“You almost got into big trouble while you were away for a moment. This kind of carelessness won’t happen again.”

Reid, who declared he would never leave my side again, carried me in one arm.

“Where were you going?”

“I was going for a walk.”

“You should come with me.”

“Good.”

✠

He sent all the maids away and took me to a quiet garden.

Being held by tall Reid, the red roses blooming on the arched tunnel ceiling seemed within easy reach.

“Wait a moment, Reid.”

I carefully picked the prettiest flower. Then I put it by his right ear like a hair accessory.

“Hmm, pretty.”

“......”

“Let’s put one on the other side too.”

“......”

“Hmm, you’re handsome, so everything suits you.”

Reid ignored my childish play and then laughed with a deflating sound.

“Yeah, play as much as you want. I don’t mind being your toy.”

“......”

[‘The Scales Judging Souls’ is fussing that your last line was a bit dangerous.]

[‘The Sarcastic Balancer’ insists on penalizing you for genre deviation from parenting.]

[‘The Language that Builds the World’ dismisses the argument.]

I took the rose back and just put it on both sides of my hair.

[‘The Eye Watching the Chaos of All Things’ expresses a preference that yuri suits you better.]

We sat on a bench to rest for a moment.

While sipping soda magically chilled by Reid, my short legs dangled without touching the ground.

Reid quietly looked down at me. Being silent like that felt a bit boring and awkward. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

We needed to talk. So, what topic would suit a healing parenting genre? I thought for a moment and started speaking.

“Reid.”

“Yes, child.”

“What if I were your daughter?”

“......”

His expression was unpleasant.

“No, I’m not talking about me becoming your daughter, but just imagining.”

“What kind of imagination?”

“What if a kid who looks like me was your daughter? How would you feel then?”

“A daughter who looks like this...”

Reid muttered as if hypnotized and then fell silent. Perhaps to immerse himself, he wanted to confirm one condition.

“Is she born from you and me?”

“......”

“......”

W-why would you ask so bluntly like that!

Suddenly it got hot, and I gulped down the rest of my drink at once.

“Okay, forget the question just now......”

“I’d be happy.”

“......”

“Lovely.”

“......”

It sounded like beautiful poetry in a deep voice. A confession more honest than I expected.

He continued, staring into the blue sky.

“I would look forward to life, not death.”

“......”

“And also, maybe this world......”

“......”

“Might be saved again.”
