My Daughters Have Regressed

039 – Queen of the Night #1

039 – Queen of the Night #1

It’s late.

Viscount Mario prepared a room for us, and the bed was very soft.

“Is Naru sleeping with Cecily?”

I looked around to find the figures of Naru and Cecily.

Garot asked me.

“Juda, if I’m not mistaken, you seem to be particularly interested in a little boy named Cecily.”

“… … !”

Garot also felt good.

I never thought you’d notice my interest in Cecily.

“No way, Judas, you… .”

Garot noticed something?

It was a moment when I was terribly afraid of what sound would come out of his lips.

What if he said something like “Are you planning on kidnapping Cecily?”

So when I was a little nervous, Garot added a comment.

“Are you suspecting that Cecily is an imp too?”

It was a story I never thought of.

Come to think of it, it was the moment that came to mind that Garrot was a hunter hired by Brigitte to find imps hiding in the Principality of Phrygia.

“Cecily is an imp?”

I pretended to be calm and asked.

Then Garot looked around my bedroom and nodded slightly.

“There are many suspicious things. First, it is a girl who suddenly appeared a few months ago. And the fact that she resembles Lady Rione, the daughter of this family, is also true.”

“yes?”

“Top imps can disguise themselves. Of course, it’s possible for quite a few imps to play granddaughters, fooling old people and robbing them of their property and inheritance.”

It was a devil hunter speculation.

Had I been ignorant, I might have agreed with this opinion.

However, he thought there was no chance that Cecily was an imp.

She’s more than 70 percent my daughter.

“… … .”

no, wait.

What is the probability that she is both my daughter and an imp?

Any chance of that?

no no.

That was obviously an even more absurd story.

If I gave birth to an imp daughter, it would mean that I married a demon… .

“… … .”

“Judas, your expression is serious.”

Startle-.

I was surprised.

So he hurriedly corrected his expression and nodded.

“I also don’t think there’s any chance that Cecily is Lady Rione’s daughter. I’ll have to watch more carefully to see what kind of existence Cecily is.”

“It also feels good. I also think that Lady Rione and Cecily should be viewed as separate realms. Cecily, that child is a little suspicious.”

Did the hunter’s senses notice Cecily’s singularity?

What would happen if Cecily was a real ‘imp’?

Is Garot hunting?

I knew very well how demon hunters deal with the demons they capture.

So I started to get scared.

What if Cecily was a real imp and my daughter at the same time?

What if I was the daughter of a ‘female devil’?

Trouble deepens!

I’m afraid because I can’t predict what the future me will do!

rattle-.

Then the door to my bedroom opened.

Brigitte, who had changed into her pajamas, poked her head through the crack in the open door.

“Garot, what are you doing here? Let’s go to the women’s room now.”

Saying that, Brigitte also entered my room.

It was a spacious room, but it felt a bit cramped when three adults came in.

Still, everyone smelled good and felt good.

Garot said.

“I was talking about the imp. There’s a chance that Cecily is an imp. To think that a girl who looked exactly like the missing young lady suddenly appeared. There’s nothing suspicious about it.”

Brigitte heard the story and nodded slowly.

“Looking at it, it makes sense. I can only hope that Naru managed to put Yaluvalu grass into Cecily’s pillow.”

“Personally, I plan to walk around this mansion without sleeping tonight. If Cecily is indeed an imp, she will surely be able to find traces of the imp.”

Shuk-.

Garot went out to visit.

His determined appearance was as trustworthy as a hunter who protects mankind from evil.

And that confidence made me anxious.

“Judas, why? Your complexion doesn’t look good.”

Brigitte looked at me and tilted her head.

What should I do.

Should I reveal that Cecily might actually be my daughter—?

Brigitte is one of the wisest people I know.

And he was a trustworthy person.

“Brigitte, listen carefully to what I am saying from now on. I have something to confess to you from now on. You haven’t spoken for quite a while.”

“Go, confession… !?”

Brigitte was taken aback.

After that, I wanted to look around, and then swallowed with a very nervous feeling.

“Confession as soon as Garot goes out. in a place like this? suddenly? What? Haven’t spoken for a long time What are you trying to say?”

“… … .”

thump thump.

My heart is beating very loudly.

What would happen if I revealed that “Cecily might be my daughter”?

The Brigitte I’ve seen will surely turn white in surprise and ask, “Who is the mother!”

Then I would reply, “Even Naru’s mother doesn’t know, so how could Cecily’s mother know!”, and Brigitte would despise me as if she were looking at chewing gum on the floor.

What if I said, “Cecily is my daughter, but she might also be an imp”?

Brigitte said, “You, if the imp is your daughter, then you mean that you married a female demon! Don’t you know that marrying a female demon is tantamount to being a traitor to humanity!?”

With that in mind, there was no reason for her to confess to Brigitte about Cecily.

At least for now.

“What. It’s a confession. tell me quickly What have you been wanting to tell me for a long time?”

Brigitte urged.

I erased the plan of talking about Cecily from my mind.

So now I have to look around properly.

Shall we take a look at the word Kim?

“Brigitte, what do you think of the devil?”

“… Devil? out of the blue?”

“It’s not out of the blue. I’ve always thought of it since long ago. what the hell is a devil I was wondering what you would think if you were the magician of the devil castle subjugation party.”

“… devil.”

Brigitte examined my complexion with a dubious expression.

Maybe it was because my serious facial expression worked well or because the topic of the conversation was so profound, he let out a deep sigh and said:

“Although they say they are demons, they are actually just like us humans. It’s just that my karma has been altered due to the strong influence of Nocturne, the god of darkness.”

“Is it so?”

“I don’t know if it was during the war. As long as the demon king is dead and the era of peace has arrived, demons and us are human beings alike. These days, well, merchant groups are also interacting with them in their own way.”

“Are you even married?”

“Marriage to demons happened during the war, right? At the time, they said that he was a traitor or a traitor who fell for the devil’s temptation. What a peaceful world like today… .”

Guggets -.

While explaining something well, Brigitte frowned.

“But why marry the devil?”

“No, I wondered if Lady Rione might have been sold to the devil. Became a devil’s bride… . I was wondering if that would be possible enough. Because it was 25 years ago.”

“What… , it is not impossible.”

I managed to overcome the situation somehow!

Brigitte lived because she was naive.

* * *

the next morning.

Naru came out wearing pajamas and yawned.

“Naruya, did you sleep well?”

“Naru, good night! Although it was noisy because the two cats kept crying! Showing the difference in strength, it became quiet!”

Naru seemed to have slept well.

Rather, how did the cats show the difference in strength?

“… … .”

“What is it?”

I stared at Cecily.

Wasn’t his pupil torn vertically?

I open my mouth to see if my teeth have become sharp like a shark’s.

“… Gee, what are you doing now? rude… !”

this.

I’ll have to see if he doesn’t have a tail growing out of his butt.

However, at a cursory glance, the characteristics of imps could not be seen.

I asked Naru a little.

“Naruya, did you put the Yaluvalu grass in the pillow?”

“Yes… I wear it… ! And I don’t think it’s Cecily Imp… ! thank god… !”

Naru was very relieved.

Garrot, who appeared soon after, said, “I looked around the mansion overnight, but no traces of the devil were found. It is a clean area.”

In other words.

Cecily was not an imp.

I was very relieved.

It really feels like the ice in your heart is melting.

I’m glad I didn’t say anything bad to Brigitte last night.

Also.

I’m not married to the devil

did not betray humanity.

But one more question remains.

Then, who the hell is Cecily?

Why does she look like Lady Lione even though she has clover spots?

You’d better head to Number 61 today to check on this.

By the way.

I was about to eat breakfast when Brigitte spoke to me.

“Yuda, if possible, I would like you to be excluded from this investigation.”

“I?”

“Because Garot and I will be in charge of this investigation.”

It seemed that Brigitte was trying to exclude me from the investigation.

61 is the world of back alleys.

I don’t think anyone is as knowledgeable about the afterlife as I am.

When I was puzzled, Brigitte spoke as if trying to convince me.

“It’s because of the curse on your body. It got worse when you dealt with the Arubaba bandits last time. This could be worse than ever. Because it seems that number 61 is a stronghold for villains.”

“It makes sense.”

I nodded.

I didn’t want the curse to get any worse than this.

And Garrot and Brigitte were people who would take care of things on their own no matter where they were put out.

You won’t need any help from me.

With that feeling, we left the mansion.

On the way back, the Ragdoll family lent me a carriage.

Today, I decided to take Naru and Cecily to school.

“Is this Naru’s classroom?”

“Yes! Today’s lunch is toast with strawberry jam, cheese and ham… ! Naru, I hope it’s lunchtime soon… !”

Naru seemed to enjoy eating lunch.

What kind of quality food is served, so why wait for food every day?

Ding dong dang dong -.

The bell rang.

It meant that the first period was about to begin.

“Then, Naru and Cecily. Both of you, don’t fight with your friends, listen to the teacher.”

“Yes!”

“Even if you don’t hear anything like that, you’re doing well on your own, right?”

I let the children into the classroom well.

Before I go, should I take a look at the homeroom teacher’s face?

I spent quite a bit of time in the hallway with that thought.

Naru’s homeroom teacher didn’t show up even though the first class started and the other classes were full of classes.

“Is it a class boycott?”

school is so weird

I wanted to meet the teacher who said that chickens are dinosaurs.

“Sorry.”

I left the classroom with regret behind me.

Soon, I was about to leave the main gate of the school when I met a bald man with a familiar face.

“I was looking for you, Judas.”

“me?”

“Would you like to go to the entertainment district together?”

“No, what from morning… . Have you finally decided to become a complete apostate monk? You’ve finally revealed your true colors, you insidious bastard… !”

I thought this tight guy had finally turned around.

However, if you look closely, the expression on his face is very serious.

“Tell me what happened.”
