The Baby Who Raised the Devil

Mysterious Sounds (9)

Did ya?

You gave this to me?

A certificate?

That's the biggest toy store certificate, isn't it?

Let's just calm down.

I know how painful it is to have something beyond your means because I have become the child of a false destiny.

I couldn't take it with me when I was exiled and since I was a kid and couldn't run such a big store, someone else would take over. Besides, I wouldn't be able to touch that money. With a heavy heart, I returned the certificate to Duke.

"I can't bring you some huwruf" (I can't read some letters)

Leah laughed lovingly, and said,

"I'll read it for you."

"Oh, this is a toy store certificate, little lady!"

“Blaine don't want kefrtas.”(Blaine doesn't want paper) I said in a grim voice.

“It's not just paper, little lady. If you have this, you can have all the toys in the store. ”

I shook my head with a sad expression.

"No way .... I want more toys."

Henry and Isaac looked at the duke.

“For a small child, the meaning of a toy store certificate is beyond his understanding. “

“Yeah, that. Bow or dress will make her happier.”

Duke looked like he was struck by lightning. But the brothers grinned and hugged me.

"Let's go to your room, Leblaine."

"Yes, we'll take you."

I heard the voice of the Duke behind me, who was following my brothers helplessly.

"Those who handle this, bring me the list."

As it turned out, there was actually another gift for her that was prepared.

***

I got up before sunrise and left the soft bed.

'OK, I've taken care of the bow that Isaac gave me.'

Just in case, I even inserted the tracking device that Lea had given me into my pocket.

There are people out there who want me enough to get smugglers into the castle, so I have to be careful.

I snuck into the dungeon.

The soldiers were on patrol, but I managed to sneak in, making use of my experience as a beggar. Of course, gaining keys is also a skill learned because of that experience.

“Seria.”

A small voice caused the crouching girl to raise her head.

“Small phone.....!”

“Sst!”

As I placed my index finger on her lips, Seria snorted and lowered her voice.

"What are you doing here?"

“There are places I want to visit with Seria.”

I left the dungeon holding Seria's hand, blinking innocently

Through the iron bars, a terrible groan, like scraped iron, came out. Looking at the figure inside the cage, Seria took a deep breath.

“Jacob.....!”.

She looked at me with an expression on her face asking why I brought her here.

I shrugged my shoulders, saying, "I'll help you."

"But it's locked."

"I don't think so."

Then I opened the door.

"How come?…….!"

It seems Jacob doesn't admit anything about who his "customer is.

That is, the Duke will leave the door open.

'For Jacob to go and meet his so-called customers.'

There's a good chance that Jacob may have been given or had a tracking device attached to him in the first place.

The Dubbled family is as scary as the rumors I heard about them.

“Come in.”

When I opened the door, Seria went into Jacob's prison. Jacob who was drooping from the wall towards the floor looked at us with his barely moving eyes.

“Haa...save me....”.

“I don't want to hear that!”

Seria shouted as she rushed towards him.

Jacob, who had been subjected to torture for hours, did not have the strength to release Seria.

“Where are my sisters? Where do you sell it .....!”

When Jacob did not answer, he began to strangle her.

“Cu-customer. “

"What?"

"Customer took it."

"You mean the customer who told you to kidnap the little lady?"

When Seria released her grip on Jacob, whose neck had been flushed red, she sighed.

“I don't know who it is. I seriously. Customers come in all the time and buy children. All children raised in House Hope were bought by him.”

"What did you do to my sisters?"

“…….”

"Say!"

“I can't provide customer's personal information.”

Sir!

I kicked him in the face.

“I think that's all you say! (I think that's all you have to say!)”

Seria stepped on Jacob to stop him from moving, as she looked at me dumbfounded. I could hear the moaning sound of her pain as she punched him in the face to knock him down.

"Li, little lady."

Seria was surprised and hugged me.

I'm staring.

"I have a question. “

"Say."

I looked at him and opened my mouth.

"How desperate are you to find your brothers?" (How desperate do you want to find your sisters?”)

"……..Huh uh?"

Sera's eyes were shaking.

"Can you kill more people who ruined your life and your brothers?"

When asked that, Seria's eyes mysteriously distorted.

"You ..... Not an ordinary child."

I grinned.

"If you're ready to do that, I'll help you."((If you're ready to do that, I'll help you.)

I slowly stretched out my hand. Seria, who was still staring at my small hand, bit her lips tightly.

“I've sworn to finish him off. “

He took my hand.

"What should I do?"

"Do you want to get your present now?"

***

Seria looked at me who had a childlike smile on my face.

"You want me to give myself up?"

“Ya, so you can get the prize. “

"Then I will be executed!"

“You won't.”

"How can you be sure?"

“I'm most happy to visit you before that happens.you can say it like this. ”(Ask the pastor to visit you before that happens.)

I straightened my position and lowered my voice.

“I know where the original copy of the Bible was.”

Seria's eyes grew bigger.

“That's ridiculous!”

"But I know where it is."

I'm sure they'll be eager to get it and save Seria's life.

“The original version of the Bible is priceless. Why did you use it for it?”

“Because it's worth it for Seria .”

He looked at me for a moment without saying anything.

With trembling pupils and screeching lips, I could see how touched she was.

'Really, the Seria is worth it to you.'

He devoted his life to his younger siblings as they grew up together in kindergarten.

He was someone who would never betray a person who earned his loyalty. Above all, Seria is smart.

He is different from Jacob, who has passed the exam with the help of a "customer", or Charlie who somehow managed to enter the administrative office.

Without a proper education in education, he passed the Dubbled administrative examination only by learning from the aristocracy.

This guy is full of determination.

'She is somewhat similar to Nos.'

There is no one as good as him to stay by my side.

“Then where should I say the original? “

"The Queen's secret library."

Besides, I can kill two birds with one stone.

The Empress kept her ownership of the original part secret.

The temple would tremble with treachery if they knew that the Empress, who had a good relationship with them, secretly had the original Biblical texts the church had sought.

"Go before morning."

"Little lady, I'll never forget this."

Seria who was kneeling strengthened her resolve.

"I'm really ashamed of this, but may I ask you for your help again?"

"My help?"

“Please get out of here first. “

He looked at Jacob with cold eyes and continued.

"And don't come back no matter what you hear."

I looked at his black eyes twitching.

"…….Okay"

I left the prison first, as he asked. Behind me, Jacob's desperate screams followed. That day Jacob exits the prison as a corpse, and Seria sneaks out of the castle.

A few days later, a gift in the name of 'Children's Day Gift' was sent to me

There's 30,000 francs in the bag. That was the amount of the reward for Seria.
