I grabbed Emilia's hand and stepped across space, appearing on a cliff several thousand kilometers away.
It was a very high cliff, thousands of kilometers high. In fact, if a normal person were to stand here, he would think that the cliff was unfounded.
I sat on the edge of the cliff, feeling the wind caress my shoulder and staring at the blue sky.
A second later, Emilia sat on my lap, curled happily in my chest like a little kitten.
“... Father, I miss you.” he said with a small smile.
"I know." I nodded with a complicated expression, unable to return the same words.
In the end, even though Emilia considered me to be her father. I don't consider her my daughter.
I know how much Emilia loves me, and how much she wants to be by my side. But unfortunately, I can't share his feelings.
Because I don't share the memories he has of me.
No, I have it. But these memories are just a bunch of information, data.
Emilia has these memories. Moreover, his obsession with me was one of the reasons he managed to attain Eternity. But to me, he is just a very powerful and dangerous Immortal who can mess with my goals.
It was as if a stranger suddenly told you that he loved you as he carried a nuclear weapon in his hand.
Moreover, the stranger was a madman who could go crazy at any time and detonate his bomb.
No matter how sincere his words are, you won't be able to believe it.
Emilia was like that to me.
Even now, when he curled peacefully in my arms, every cell of my body was on alert, ready to attack him at any moment.
But as if she could not feel my vigilance, Emilia continued to curl up in my arms, putting her back on my chest and moving her ears with a satisfied smile.
“... It has been a long time since you last treated me well.”
"Yes. Last time we met, we ended the fight madly until I sealed you.”
Emilia nodded with a frown.
“Dad always was like that. Even though Emilia loves you so much, you always hide from me. You even forgot our memories together.”
“... Sorry about that.”
“You don't have to apologize, dad. I know this is wrong lady***** that. One day, I'll kill him!”
I smiled wryly and shook my head.
However, these words seemed to remind Emilia of something.
“By the way, dad. That shameless bitch is in this world. He should have gone to see you, right?”
I'm nodding. "Yes. Ysnay has met me.”
"Did you kill him?"
"… Of course not. It's no use. He'll come back to life a few days later even if I kill him.”
“Hmph! Even so, you have to kill him several times to make him understand that he is not welcome. The reason she is so attached to you is because you are too soft on her!” said it.
“... I feel that if I do that, he will continue to appear in front of me just to get more of my attention.” I replied.
"… Probably. After all, the woman ***** was very shameless.”
I chuckle softly. I'm sure Ysnay would be angry if he heard that.
It's pretty obvious, but Ysnay and Emilia's relationship is as bad as it can be. In fact, Emilia hated Ysnay so much.
For Emilia, Ysnay is the reason I don't accept her.
And actually, he's partly right.
If Ysnay had not betrayed me, perhaps I would have kept all my memories with every reincarnation and I would not have forgotten Emilia.
If that happens, I will recognize Emilia when she appears before me then and today we will be happy together.
I stroked Emilia's hair gently and exhaled her. There is no point in wondering what could have happened.
Instead, it is better to focus on the present.
“Emilia, I have a lover in this life. Some of them, actually. ” I said suddenly.
Emilia tensed. For a moment, his blood-red eyes shone with a hint of killing intent, and the energy within his body went wild.
However, he calmed down quickly.
“I don't mind, dad. Once they die, we can be together forever. Only us. As long as you accept me again, I don't mind.”
I looked at Emilia with an unbelievable expression of 'your words.
"i remember you tried to kill some of my lovers in many of my past lives .." I said.
“I-It was.. P-First time because I was angry you forgot me and instead gave your love to two idiots!”
"And the moments after that?"
"… I won't do it again. I promise."
I chuckled softly and ruffled her hair.
“There's something else I need to tell you, Emilia.
"Huh?" Emilia tilted her head like a clueless cat.
But then, he seemed to realize something.
Immediately, his entire body stiffened.
"Dad ... Do you mean you found a way to share your Immortality …?"
"Yes." Yeah." I'm nodding. "And I plan to include my beloved in this life."
Emilia's eyes were wide open.
She grabbed her dress so firmly that her hands turned white and the space around her cracked. At the same time, his face turned pale.
Then, he lowered his head.
“... That's not fair..”
I'm staying quiet.
“Why, dad? Why can't we be like before? Just the two of us, without caring about anyone else?”
My breath escaped my lips. As expected, it achieved this.
“Emilia..”.
"… I love you dad. I love you so much... And they? They are nothing more than prostitutes who want to snatch you away from me!”
Emilia's energy surged out from her body. He left my arms and stood up, walking a few steps with a disappointed look.
But then, he smiled.
“As expected, if I want something, I have to take it myself. And this time, I'm ready.”
Endless energy surged out from his body, gathering in his hand until it formed a cube-like object.
Then, the cube expanded, turning into a large cage that trapped us inside.
I furrowed my eyebrows. This is…
"I made it when I was sealed, father." Emilia giggled innocently like a cute girl. “It was specially designed to seal you. Inside this cube the power of the soul could not be used. It can also trap powerful souls and stop them from escaping.”
… Shit…
“Do you understand, father? Now that you are inside this cube, you will never be able to escape. Finally, we will be together.. Forever!”
Girl, you're crazy.
