The Great Adventure In World Of Sword And Magic.
Chapter 12 - [ Truth and Worry]

...CHAPTER 12 - TRUTH AND WORRY...

...◇◇◇...

When I woke up, all my wounds had healed and I felt my body improving, as if after a deep sleep.

It was as if last night had never happened.

Merely, the small figure that was at my feet made me unable to help but be confused.

However, a corpse not far from us made me aware of the horrors of that night.

The Demon woman horribly split apart and seemed not to fight back the moment before her death.

Then his condition seemed to dry up and some of his body was a bit messy.

I slowly stood up and sat down.

'What is this situation? He looks like he's been rotting for a long time, ' I think confused.

"Ughs.. Right, I remember what happened.." I said remembering it.

This little figure..

Before I fainted from lack of blood, I saw him.

The egg hatched and a black-haired little girl appeared from inside there.

The little girl had long unraveled hair, her face was petite, cute and looked like a little angel.

She was wearing a small black dress with white lace at the end of her dress.

Her small, beautiful figure was staring at us.

But somehow, when he saw me and the Demon. Her cute face changed into an angry face. But stay cute..

Then I don't know since when, there was something formed from the shadow of the girl. Spreading through the forest.

All the shadows in the surroundings started to gather around and slowly formed dozens of hands from the shadows.

Shadow hands appeared and lined up around the girl horribly.

Tens to hundreds of fairly large shadow hands were formed and fused into one large arm. Then his fingertips turned into a large knife.

Slaaash!

A sharp-looking blade pierced through the Demon quickly.

Without making the Demon realize that he was dead.

What I saw at that time was something terrible and I could not express in words.

No one would believe that the little girl possessed such terrifying strength.

Then, when the Demon was Dead..

As I was about to lose consciousness, the little girl approached uneasily and looked at me...

She cried..

"Anyway.." I chuckled, realizing I had been saved by him.

It's supposed to be terrible, but why.. I want to cry..

When I thought that I was so pitiful, the girl woke up and looked at me innocently.

Her purple eyes glistened at me.

"Father!" He said with a cheerful face, he immediately hugged me.

..Papa's? Eh?? Whaties???

"What??!" My inner fill is out.

I'm shocked.

.........

[No Name ]

[Race Shadow Queen ]

[ Level 90]

"..." - ".I was stunned to see the screen above his head.

'What is this creature?? Also why is he in my arms?' I said in a heart full of wonder.

If I notice regardless of what happened last night, the screen and the status above his head.

Maybe I'll think he's somebody's kid.

But, the most illogical reason was that he called me his Papa?!

"Why do you call me Papa?" I looked at her who was hugging me tightly.

"Myu? Wh why? Because Papa is Papa?" He said a bit confused.

I smiled stiffly. Really so..?

"Then.. What makes you so sure?" I tried to deny it.

"Because I was born by Papa." Said with cheer.

Hmm?? I'm only 12 years old and next month I'll be 13. But I already have a child? Wouldn't it be terrible if anyone knew??

How'this?!

"True, what's your name?" My words divert the issue.

"Name??" He looked confused and looked at me.

He looked at me with his head tilted, as if he didn't know what I meant.

"Myu doesn't have it, Papa." He looked at me with a face that looked innocent.

I gulped looking at her, she was indeed very cute..

"Father, give me a name!" The little girl looked at me excitedly.

"Me?" I wonder.

He nodded and said "Papa give me a name!" His eyes seemed to be blazing saying that.

"Name.. Name yes.." Thought words.

I could feel that this child was looking at me with hope. Ughhhh..

So I looked at the little girl, from her age I could tell she was probably 5 or 7 years old. Then, she had dark black hair and was very long for her age(?), as well as her purple eyes were so beautiful and charming.

Hmmmm... What should I give her name??

Black.. Purple.. The shadows.. Hm..

Ah, I think that name might suit him.

So I stared at the hopeful little girl in front of me.

"..What about Senka? Its origin is from a foreign language which means Shadow and is perfect for a girl." I gave him a name and tried to sound not bad to him.

"Senka's.. Senkas.. Myu, my name is Senka!" Pleased speech.

Senka smiled and liked her name.

She looked at me with her cute face.

"Senka, you're so funny!!" I hugged him tightly.

"Your own?! Papa, stop?!" Senka said trying to escape.

I hugged him and rubbed my cheek on his cheek. I don't know why I like it.

"All right, I'm sure you're my son!" Say sure.

"Father!!" Senka said happily.

He hugged me back happily and snored like a cat.

"Yes, yeah. Senka, you're so cute~.." I said back to his embrace.

"Myu~ Hehe~"

I smiled gently at my son(?) these.

.........

It's already noon.

"Well.." I just remembered that I had been in the woods all day.

Since I've been missing all day, it's certain that my parents will be very worried. I'd better get back as soon as possible.

"Senka, you.." I said to Senka in front of me.

But..

I don't see it anywhere.

"Senka! Where are you!!?" Panicked saying.

Damnit damnit! At a time like this?!

"Papa?" Says Senka near me.

"Huh?" I was surprised and looked at my side.

I saw her coming out from behind my shadow and cutely walked towards me.

"Why can. ah, I remember..

Senka is the Queen of shadows," I shook my head.

'So Senka could do such a thing huh, ' I thought seeing her walking around me.

"Senka, promise. You're never out of the shadows until Papa asks for it, listen?" Reminded him.

"My! Senka understand, Papa!" Said nodding.

She's so cute..

So before I left I patted his head. She looked pleased and responded to "Hehe~." as I patted and rubbed her head gently.

"Alright, I have to hurry before this becomes a big deal," I started running.

I rushed back to the village. Leaving the body itself.

.........

Outside the village.

There were some people near the village gate and it seemed like they were busy talking.

When I arrived at the village gate, I walked up to them.

Some residents who were near the gate looked worried and there were residents talking to each other as if there was a serious problem.

"Hey?" I approached them and tried to talk.

The moment I reached the gate, the residents were surprised to see me back and immediately approached me.

"Ren!? Where have you been?"

"Your father is looking for you!"

"Uh, what?" I was a little surprised.

As expected, they must have been looking for me.

"Where did my father go?" I asked him.

"She thought you went into the woods, so she went looking for you," he pointed to the Bloody Forest.

"The Bloody Forest is forbidden to enter, as the Monsters may still exist. So we asked adventurers to look for you.. " She added.

Ughhhh.. I seem to trouble everything.

"I'm sorry I have to meet everyone, especially my father and family now" I began to rush back home.

"You better come here first," said the man asking me to follow him and the other residents to come along.

So following the villagers, I met the village chief and the villagers. There's Mom and Amelia in the village square.

"Mother.." Said approaching.

"Ren!? Where have you been. I'm worried you're missing.." His words immediately embraced me.

I was immediately hugged by Mom and she was so sad that she hugged me so tightly.

What the hell's going on? Didn't I just disappear yesterday?

"I'm sorry, mother.." My words apologise.

While still in my arms, I saw someone approaching me. He looked at me and spoke slowly.

"More.." He said as he approached.

Amelia looked sad, but she tried to calm down.

The others were all relieved and I asked mom while taking off the hug.

"Mother, where's dad?" I said I want to know.

"Your father's been looking for you for a week.he's still in the woods.." Saying with a sad face.

Aweek?? What the hell is going on?!

I was surprised and astonished. Did I faint for a week?

'Senka..' My words are inward.

'Can I go out?' Senka said from my shadow.

Because of his ability, Senka can talk to me through the shadows without making a sound or short telepathy.

'No, I want to make sure. Did I sleep for a week?' My words confirmed.

'Un, Papa's not awake. So Senka takes a few days to make Papa fully recover and Senka protects Papa from many Monsters!" His words sound serious.

So that's true..

'Papa, I need a lot of Mana to heal Papa and need sacrifices during healing, ' he said innocently.

Huh huh? Whahuh? What did he just say??

"Rin? What's up?" Said Mother confused to see me daydreaming.

"Ah, there's nothing.." I shake my head.

"Let's go back.." He said asking me to come back.

'I nodded, Senka I want to hear the explanation later, ' I said to Senka.

'My! Yes, Papa!' He said with pleasure.

Her voice is so cute..

.........

So all the way home.

Mom and I went to sit in the dining room chair.

While waiting for Dad to come back, mom put some food on the table. I ate it with gourmand.

After I finished eating, Mom asked me about the situation during the week.

"I'm sorry mom, it worries you" I said a little regretfully.

"It's okay, but tell Mom what happened during the week.." Mom said seriously.

I was nervous, but tried to calm down. So I told him.. Everything was.

That I have become..

"..."

"..."

We were all silent, but the voice.

"Papa?"

It made me go even further.
