Chapter 300 Idiot Pupils’ Birth
-Author’s note-
Nikki’s story ends in this chapter What a commemoration that the 300th chapter became Nikki’s story
It’s about nine months And I think I have done well to last up to this day This is also because of everyone’s support Thank you very ot there, Hiiro”
Lilyn, who had coave Hiiro a soft smile with reddened cheeks like that of a baby
“……Fun”
I was also surprised by the fact that I did soht of the ba Nikki overlapped with Hiiro’s vision of his ave her life for her child looked exactly the sa Hiiro in the sa hisin sorrow on losing the ain
On top of that, the demon as the culprit of it all was still alive But it was now in a state where it can die in one hit However, as if feeling he didn’t have the right to do so, he didn’t defeat the deer consolation But, Hiiro thought, even a little, I want Nikki to beat up this demon with her very own fist personally
Of course, he knew that it will change nothing The people who had lost their lives will never be resurrected and even if they took revenge, they are unsure whether it will clear up their mind after that
Still, Hiiro entrusted the last blow to Nikki
(This is just not likeNikki with an expression as if refreshed after avenging her faht choice
“Still, that doesn’t change the fact that this kid lost her family”
As Silva said, Nikki will spend her time in solitude from now on
“Poor Nikki……”
“Kuii……”
Shamoe and Mikadzuki’s faces were also colored in sorrow As for Silva, he quietly approached the back of Lilyn
“Milady……”
“……I know”
Lilyn moved her small body towards Nikki While Nikki, still lost in the current events, re as she is Perhaps, she is still unable to accept reality
“Oi, you”
Lilyn called her fro it, Nikki turned her face slowly like a robot, catching the existence of Lilyn in sight
No vitality could be seen fro at any ht now, but youif she is listening or not, Lilyn continued on to Nikki who is still unable to respond
“To remain here or to follow me, ill you choose?”
Still unable to receive an answer froathered a lot of people with the same mind till now Those people are like you, a person with no place to return to And for those people, one of my ambitions is to provide them a home One I will call [Paradise]”
“Para……dise?”
“Yes” she responded to the faint voice only she can hear
“We elcome everyone, even the likes of you However, this is the land where you grew up, so you also have the option of staying here If you choose the latter, well, I suppose you can call out to ain once I have built [Paradise] So, which is it? Or would you choose neither and die here as it is?”
Upon hearing the word ‘die’, tears flowed out again from Nikki’s eyes
“Die……they…died……uwaaaAAAAA!”
Nikki cried out once again, facing the sky
Not understanding on how to deal with children, Lilyn could only shrug her shoulders and leave
“Where are you going?”
Hiiro said then approached the crying Nikki, and while looking down at her figure he began to talk
“Just cry if you want to cry”
“Oi, Hiiro”
“Can’t you let her decide after she has cal for food in a while”
He said then left the spot Even in this situation, he could still dare to think of his appetite, Lilyn thought with craredient Hiiro is looking around the [Barows around here— the 《Thousand Strange Bah it looked like an ordinary baredient, in fact, with the proper way of cooking, its taste, texture and aroe in various ways
Sometimes its texture is crispy like a native product that seemed like the usual bamboo shoots; sometimes it’s like a form that stretches softly like alike a sweetened fruit candy and redient baained its popularity However, aside of its quality, it has little supply as it was so difficult to find because it is buried beneath the ground
But for Hiiro with his 『探索』Search, these shoots could be found in no tiot three ba as his arredients, with the 『浄化』Purification Character, he removed all the toxins from all the black bamboos he found on his way and returned thelected, they will turn into soh I came here to eat bamboo shoots, I cannot leave these black bamboos unattended as there is a possibility for others to also be harle black bamboo in the vicinity
And when he returned back to the crater once again, Silva, as if anticipating it, had already put out tables, cooking utensils, and did all other preparations that they will need The e skill is really a convenient one
Lilyn has already stopped talking and was sitting on a chair Nikki sat a bit far, and although a bit frightened, Shaently to her But aside from her eyes that are still filled with tears, no response could be felt froht, Hiiro then went to Silva with the 《Thousand Baan cooking exaltedly Shamoe, as then called out by Silva to help, reluctantly went away fro all curled up in the corner, Hiiro could only see his past self
There were a lot of adults co hi a big smile on his face, as if it had never felt any pain in life, was now nothing but a Noh Mask
While adults enjoy leading these children by the hand, children turn to those around theet their despair
All extre children with the sah a lota scene in a movie or television, that sense of reality didn’t come up at all
However, there was one moment, when the lump of ice which was called Hiiro’s heart—you can call special
On that certain day, when he was called in the room of the facility director, Hiiro came across an oyakodon For Hiiro who hadn’t eaten alreatly stier
When he saw it, there was also the sah, “Co that he would lose so in return if he ate, Hiiro didn’t lay his hands on it
Then the other children entered the roo a bowl These children ate with great relish Drool gradually overflowed from his mouth Then when he noticed, there was already a spoon in his hand The facility director then smiled and said
“Eat first! Worry later!”
Why? At that tiender, face, voice, personality, and everything that was supposed to be different, the ie of the facility director overlapped with his mother
That reminds me, I used to eat oyakodon with my family before, and it was one ofnot to let tears fall out, Hiiro tilted the bowl to hide his expression
The taste of the oyakodon at that tihout his life Such taste was poured into his heart
“There are plenty of delicious things in this world! Apparently, I’m alive! And I don’t want to spend what’s left of it without knowing it!”
After further investigation, it seeround check and found out that Hiiro’sthat he had been made to dance at the pal use of that vexation, he becarand scale
Fro not to lose to the witty director; he tried reading a lot of books to further increase his knowledge, and from that started his fascination with books
Now that I think of it, my desires for food and books are all caused by that facility director, huh
“Even though I look like this, I went around the world and read a variety of books There is no way I could fall behind a rug rat like you!”
Though he was already an 80 year-old geezer, but that dauntlessness boldness, fearlessness and naivety, all those words still suited hiht Someday, I would triu That ‘soe of 88, he passed away
(Quitting the ga eezer’s funeral picture with a book right now Wait, I think I really did that one……)
Though the other facilities personnel were surprised, but because everyone knew Hiiro and how close he was to the facility director, he got off with a light punishht now, I’ainst you)
It was indeed so, as he had been blessed with the opportunity to read books and eat food froet over there, I will make you bite your handkerchief in frustration Grandly)
At thatthe face of the facility director in his mind, Hiiro’s expression loosened a little
(That‘s why it is better……)
Hiiro picked up the dish made by Silva, and walked towards Nikki
(……for a kid to act like kid That was your favorite phrase, right?)
He put the dish in front of her then said
“Eat first Worry later!”
Nikki raised her face and took a peek at the 《Thousand Baulp, she looked down again in self-denial
Seeing such appearance, Hiiro,
“Eat it if you want to live Don’t eat if you want to waste your fa Then, she moved her shoulder in a twitch
“……to live………is it okay?”
“……Hoould I know? If you are going to ask somebody, don’t ask me Whether you want to live or not, I don’t care That’s it”
“I want……but……everyone is already gone……”
