?!!
You two disobedient little brats!!
Looking at the disastrous scene before her,
Fan Yumo, who had just changed clothes and arrived at the eastern riverside of the Winter Forest, could not help pursing her cherry-colored lips as she glared fiercely at the two sisters nearby.
And when she noticed the chunk of flesh in the giant wolf’s mouth that clearly belonged to a human body, Yumo’s brows instantly furrowed tightly.
“Limo! You little brat, how many times have I told you already?! You’re not allowed to randomly eat this kind of stuff!”
After serving as the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons for hundreds of years,
Yumo actually understood Abyss Demon instincts very clearly.
Bloodlust and flesh-eating were their natural instincts. It was extremely difficult to stop.
However, toward intelligent Demon King-tier Abyss Demons who had taken human form—
perhaps out of selfishness—
Yumo always hoped they could gradually abandon such savage habits...
Wouldn’t it be better to live a more elegant life?
Seeing that Limo still refused to change despite repeated warnings and was once again secretly devouring humans, Yumo could not help cursing under her breath as she walked forward.
Although Limo feared nothing in daily life and was exceptionally brutal toward enemies, in front of her mother and companions...
...she was an absolutely hopeless airhead. frёewebnoѵēl.com
The moment she saw her mother storming over aggressively,
Limo instantly trembled all over, all dignity gone.
She spat out the meat chunk in her mouth, rapidly shrank down into a husky-like form, and hid behind her younger sister Liyu while nervously peeking at Yumo from beneath Liyu’s skirt...
Seeing this,
Yumo could not help pressing a hand against her forehead.
At the same time, after noticing the badly damaged insignia of the Asumos Church on the ground, as well as the sword bearing the Hero emblem—
Yumo let out a long sigh.
The girl’s mood was incredibly complicated.
There was no doubt about it.
Her daughters had attacked members of the Asumos Church again...
...and had even killed an extremely important Hero among them.
The Ten Heroes of the Asumos Church—the Ten Apostles of Earth—were unquestionably one of the Church’s greatest pillars.
They were also important forces who would later assist the Chosen Ones in fighting against the Abyss Demons!
Such important combat power absolutely could not casually die like this!
The battle power on the Anqieka Continent was already pathetic enough compared to over five hundred years ago, okay?!
The few remaining Heroes could not keep dying anymore!
Besides, if these Heroes were trained properly, some of them might even reach the eighth rank someday~
Sigh...
The girl sighed again as her gaze toward Liyu filled with reproach.
“Liyu, didn’t I already tell you? Don’t kill Heroes! Even if you mess with them a little, you still shouldn’t kill them! Let them leave alive! That way it can at least become some kind of ‘surviving from desperate circumstances’ experience... but you directly killed them... seriously... sigh, why are you two so troublesome?”
Yumo helplessly raised a hand to her forehead.
Limo was one thing.
But Liyu normally listened to her so obediently.
She had even specifically instructed them before—
if they encountered Heroes, spare their lives for now.
So why this time...
Did something go wrong with my parenting?
Or was I unclear before?
The more Yumo thought about it, the more confused she became.
“Wuu... wuuh...”
??
Hm?
However—
at that moment, the sound of a little girl crying suddenly entered Yumo’s ears.
The girl lowered her hand and looked over, only to discover in surprise that Liyu’s eyes were already moist.
Pearl-like tears continuously slid down her delicate pale cheeks.
Those tiny emerald eyes were filled with grievance—
as though she had been horribly bullied by someone.
The sight left Yumo momentarily stunned.
Naturally, even Limo hiding behind her looked utterly dumbfounded at her younger sister.
Limo: What’s happening??? Why is little sister crying?
After freezing briefly, Yumo’s heart unconsciously softened when she saw the pitiful little girl before her.
Toward this good child whom she had personally watched grow up, Yumo truly could not bear seeing her cry.
Thus, she silently withdrew the sternness from her expression,
walked forward,
and gently pulled Liyu into her embrace.
“There, there, why are you suddenly crying?”
“Wuu... I-I... actually...”
“Calm down first, then explain slowly.”
As she spoke, Yumo slowly raised her hand and gently wiped away the tears on Liyu’s face with her gauzy sleeve.
Meanwhile,
after quietly sobbing in Yumo’s embrace for a while, the little girl gradually seemed to calm down.
She slowly lifted her head and looked toward her mother.
“Mother... I... I wasn’t being disobedient... I didn’t want to kill them...”
Limo: Meowmeow?? Wasn’t this your idea in the first place?!
“Hm?”
Hearing those words, Yumo blinked in confusion.
“Little Yu, what do you mean?”
“I... I originally wanted to guide them out of the forest... because there were a lot of seventh-tier Abyss Demons ahead... I-I was afraid they would die...”
Limo: Meow? There were seventh-tier ones?? Huh?? Since when did more appear?
As she spoke, Liyu’s eyes reddened once again.
Then the little girl raised her hand and pointed toward one of the severed dark-skinned arms nearby.
“And then... when I tried to guide them away... that... that big bearded muscle-head uncle suddenly started touching me all over... h-he tried to take off my clothes... I... I got scared... and when I got scared... I-I killed him... then afterward, his teammates wanted to kill me... so Sister and I... we... we could only fight back...”
The more she spoke, the stronger the grievance in Liyu’s eyes became.
“Mother... I-I really didn’t do it on purpose... I didn’t mean to disobey you... wuu...”
As Liyu’s words entered her ears, Yumo’s crimson eyes suddenly shrank.
Her heart trembled violently.
Then Yumo slowly followed the direction Liyu pointed toward and looked at the severed black arm.
After confirming that the arm indeed carried traces of Liyu’s aura, while Liyu’s shoulders, arms, and clothes likewise carried residual magical traces from that man—
an indescribable fury and chilling coldness instantly burst from Yumo’s eyes.
In Yumo’s mind,
an image involuntarily formed—
a muscular grown man molesting her tiny daughter.
What?!
??!!
Harassing my daughter?!
Fucking scum!!
A lolicon?! And he dared target my child?!
Considering how obedient Liyu usually was, Yumo chose to believe her daughter’s words.
The slight dissatisfaction she previously felt toward Liyu instantly vanished without a trace.
In its place came endless disgust and contempt toward the Hero squad.
‘And these people call themselves a Hero squad? Give me a break...’
Her displeasure deepened as Yumo slowly narrowed her eyes.
A crimson aura suddenly rippled outward.
In an instant, all the scattered flesh and blood at the scene were reduced to nothingness.
Even the remaining souls nearby were completely devoured by Yumo’s blood butterflies.
After cleaning up the battlefield,
Yumo gently rubbed Liyu’s little head.
“There now, there now. I know Little Yu is very obedient. This time it wasn’t your fault either. That Hero squad deserved it. Stop crying.”
Hearing Yumo’s comforting words,
Liyu gradually stopped sobbing.
She quietly buried her little head into Yumo’s chest and tightly hugged Yumo’s slender waist.
However—
hidden within Yumo’s embrace where nobody could see—
a perfectly satisfied smile slowly spread across Liyu’s tiny face...
Meanwhile,
after seeing that her younger sister not only avoided punishment but was even gently comforted by Mother instead, Limo became so stunned that her brain nearly stopped functioning.
‘T-That works too?!’
Though shocked,
Limo still attempted to imitate her younger sister by pitifully whining while drooping her ears miserably.
“Mother, I-I was bullied by that Hero too... that’s why I couldn’t resist biting him!”
However—
in response to Limo’s excuse, Yumo directly rolled her eyes.
“You? Forget it. What kind of mental illness would a Hero have to harass wolf-form you for?”
After saying that, she simply carried Liyu and silently walked deeper into the forest, leaving the little white wolf frozen in place.
But it was not over yet.
After taking only a few steps, Yumo continued speaking.
“Also, eating raw meat and lying at the same time. Your punishment is no meals for one week.”
Hearing Yumo’s verdict, the little white wolf instantly fell into total chaos.
Limo: Whyyyyyy?! That’s favoritism!!
