Vol 3 Chapter 2 (2/2)
Lilith-san once again lasses flash,
“How come you haven’t noticed yourself?
You siblings agility is obviously not that of an ordinary hu a monster tamer is but obvious That constitution of yours has been inherited froend—Kanae-sama”
“…”
Surely, now that she says it, there have been several clues
An ordinary hu able to bite off handcuff chains (and that’s why I try to not use it outside home as much as possible), and even Mana against Zonmi
If she says that us siblings’ abnormalities are inherited from our mother, those doubts are cleared
“… So, does that mean our father too is someone related to the monster tamers?”
Our father, Kah to understand as going on
Moentle- handsome man
Why do my looks not resemble those of that person… Even now I can’t help but curse my fate…
“No According to the information taken from the central database of the IMA… Manami-sama’s father was an extremely ordinary normal man I’d dare say, he doesn’t know of the existence of monster tamers”
“… Is that so?”
That’s to say,her own job a secret
Once, when I askedme a worthless answer like “Errht one?”
Nevertheless, thinking back, the reason of the divorceunable to properly reach a compromise between her married life and her work
Hey, wait
“… Just now, have you said ‘Manami-sama’s father’?”
As I pointed it out, Lilith-san’s temple twitched
“I see You are surprisingly perceptive I’d say, it is as you suspect, Chiharu-sama”
With that preface, Lilith-san bluntlydeclaration
“Chiharu-sas with the same mother, but each one has their own father”
“…”
Holy cow!
It's a fact so astonishi+ng that left me with my mouth open, unable to close it
Until just now, I believed that Yuuto-san, who I have only seen in photos, was my father, but…
Strangely, I didn’t feel like doubting Lilith-san words
Why is it like that?
To tell the truth, I’ve been holding doubts for a long time
Since my and Manami’s faces don’t resemble each other, and our personalities and tendencies are different
I wondered if Manas…
“… That is to say, who is my true father? Do you know, Lilith-san?”
“Yeah Of course I knoever, rather than ords, it will be faster to do a body experiment
Chiharu-sama, could you close your eyes for a bit?”
“… Understood”
I closed my eyes as I’ve been told
“Then, excuse me”
“Guah!?”
When I opened my eyes due to the pain, I had a deep cut in my nape
“Eerrm Why the heck have you done this?”
“… Just look, please”
Uu Once again…
I’d say she has injured some blood vessel
Were I a regular hu and call an ambulance… But in my case, the tale was different
Shortly after being injured, the wound that spurted large quantities of blood was healed by the monster tamer cells
To tell the truth, it’s the first time I've shown it to another person
Since I don’t feel good about being seen and I don’t want to worry anyone without motive
“… I see The flesh has co recovery power”
“Erenerative capability have to do with my father?”
“You still haven’t understood?”
Raising her glasses, Lilith-san, for who knohat ti words
“Your father is not hu, he’s a demon, the existence that is you is a chimera born between a devil and a human, never seen before in history”
“……………… What?”
I am a chimera born between a demon and a human?
Without tiest the infor as if forced to answer
“Usually, for the children born fro of different races, the blood of one of theets decided at random
Were it not like that, when monsters from different races interbred, each time a new race would be born
However, there are some exceptions
in the Netherworld, until now, some tens or hundreds of chimeras have been born, and those times a new race has come to be As an exaels and giants?”
“Erm… In other words…”
“Putting it into easy-to-understand words—the existence known as you is an existence unique in the world, a new race of monster born between a demon and a human”
“…”
Astonishi+ng
No, though I know Lilith’s words have astonished , this time is clearly at another level
Lilith-san's words had power, enough to make the view of life I’ve fostered until noay
“Then, with all that said, why don’t we return to the original question?
The reason why you have been brought to the Netherworld—that’s because it’s essential for your decision on how to live from now on
That is, will Chiharu-sa like until now as a human?
Will you live as a monster?
Or, if you wish, you may have the possibility to live as a demon… Don’t rush it, you have plenty of time
While you sightsee the Netherworld, think slowly about it
That’s, above all, what your mother—Kanae-sama wishes for”
“…”
My true identity is not that of a human but a new race of monster
Thus, I’ fact
… No, it may be that, deep in my heart, I feel relieved
How can that be? Living until now not knohat kind of person I am myself, I lived an aimless life
Ever since I was a kid, I was faintly aware I was a bit different froh, if I were to probe into it, I felt I’d step onto a dangerous landmine—
Against the doubt before me, I simply turned a blind eye
However, right now
At last, I could get soe about who am I
That is, the fact that I’iven me a bit of a shock
However, luckily, I… Meeting Zonirls, I knew that, be they s all the same
For that reason, maybe that has kept the mental shock to a minimum
Really… I can’t irls
“… By the way, are Zonmi and the rest aware?”
“Yeah While you were sleeping, I conveyed to them all that had to be conveyed”
“Is that so…?”
Inside le emotion
An anxiety I can’t wash off has started to bud
That is… If, once they know about e chi as they are
Once they know aboutat my side as they were till now?
If, for argument’s sake—
Were they to reject me, I don’t believe I could keep my peace of mind
“As I thought, are you anxious? Will others accept the current you…”
“…”
“In that case, your worries are unnecessary Since, at least, those girls right there have already accepted you”
As Lilith-san said that with a tone full of hiddenwas heard
Looking at the back door of the cabin, where the sound had co down like an avalanche
“Chi-Chiharu!? This is not what it see watch on your sister, as eavesdropping on your conversation, so that she didn’t go wild…”
“Uu I told you not to push…”
“… Heavy”
The irl trio of Zonether sprawled on the floor
Aer and avoided the accident…
Superhuman reflexes that best those of monsters
I see Is this the blood of endary monster tamer…
“You girls… How long have you been there?”
“Since around when oniichan was fascinated by that woman’s breasts and made me mad”
“Isn’t that very much from the start!?”
“Before that, Chiharu… Is that about doing nothing but staring at that succubus’s breasts since a while ago the truth?”
“…”
“Why are you averting your gaze?”
“W-well, it may be that per chance they may have entered my field of view… Mostly, I can’t deny it… Ahaha”
“… Is that so?”
This is bad
This pattern is that one The pattern where I get totally beaten up
Even if I can recover thanks to the power of a dehouls, my sense of pain works normally[7]
What I s are painful
Cloaked in an unspeakable air of intimidation, Zonmi approached me
I closed nation
Amy left arm
“In that case, as punishment, for all day today you must play with me”
Openingarainst my left arm
Eh Isn’t she being awfully nice today?
Usually right now, she’d be hitting the lights out of th at full throttle
… Thinking carefully, the flow of the conversation has been unnatural I don’t understand what that “in that case” stands for
“S-sly! If we go with that, then I’ll join too!”
Burning with co that, Kyouko pressed her own breasts against ht arm
“This zoht in front of Manami!”
Breaking into a run and yelling “Hop!”, Manah
“Guoh!?”
Being her landing point see impact made me lose balance
But, as Zon ed without a hitch
In the end, I got into a situation where, while linking ar a shoulder ride to my sister for an unknown reason
Errr
The shell is sticking to the back of my head and it prickles…
“… Good grief, what a farce”
What Iris has just said is harsh beyond reasonable
If having one girl on each side is called ‘a flower in each hand’, I wonder what’s the term for my current situation
Eeeerm… Full-body flowerbed?
“… Chiharu-sama truly has nice companions”
Hearing Lilith-san speak formally like that, I suddenly noticed
The anxiety of ‘will those around o has vanished without a trace
I got an out of place feeling on Zonmi’s words from just before
By any chance… Could it be that this great increase in skin shi+p… Is their way of co me?
Thinking like that,unknown emotion overflowed inside me
I want… This precious feeling unlike any other, to protect it forever, ever
“Gotcha, let’s have a blast all day long!”
