Chapter 334: Going Back To Bed

Chapter 334: Going Back To Bed

-----
Many things happened this night, more than I could have expected to happen, I felt rather overwhelmed by everything, to be honest, but when it all ended and we decided to move outside of Belle's dream, we said we were coming back soon.
Quite literally what happened was something I could have never expected nor predicted in all my half a year of life in Yggdrasil. Our own child was the one that sent us there accidentally.
Belle had said that our child, despite how small its little soul was, had developed a strange and "heavenly" element that was capable of disturbing other elements. Quite literally, our child destroyed my runes like nothing when its tiny mana core developed and this mana of this certain element disturbed the mana generated by the runes and destroyed them effortlessly.
I… it was hard to believe that. As a father in a world filled with dangers, the thing I would want the most is for my child to be as strong as possible… but even with such a mindset in me, I couldn't help but end up finding myself wondering if I would be surpassed by this baby before it was even born.
I certainly don't have a power like that, and I don't think I could simply make up a spell that just says "delete everything" as our baby did. The power of the runes I had set up on both of us was incredibly strong and took hundreds of thousands of Mana to fully make. It took me a lot of Mana Potions too!
They were protection runes that made up a powerful spell capable of protecting us from the "suction" effect of the fox girl's Inheritance Dream World… but it was utterly disintegrated with no runes behind in just a tiny second.
Thankfully, the baby seems to have had its fill of adventure and went back to her mama's belly, where I felt it was resting for the moment.
Hopefully, this little and mischievous baby can stay there until it is born, I don't want more troubles involving the tiny soul of my precious child… By just thinking about the things that could happen to its tiny little soul if something went wrong if someone with enough power and the means were to suddenly find it… I can't… I can't imagine such a horrendous future. I don't want that to happen.
As a father, I felt the necessity to protect my child and my wife… and of course, I don't want such a thing to happen to our baby's soul! What if it gets damaged? Will the baby be able to be born again? Or will it die miserably or something even worse? I can't deal with such a thought.
I am growing way too concerned, perhaps I should relax for now… Ugh.
Sigh…
The thing that I didn't expect the most as well was that Miranda would suddenly show up and help Belle out of the sudden! All out of nowhere! The little and cute Mold girl convinced us with her cute appearance, and I couldn't resist her.
I am weak… Ugh. But there was a certain charm to her new personality. She had indeed changed so much that she was almost unrecognizable from before.
I don't know what it really was. Perhaps her new willpower, perhaps her new confidence, perhaps her growing gentle heart, or perhaps a combination of all of them plus her adorableness which I never thought I would find in this being that once threatened Benladann so much.
But just as she had said, Belle was perhaps in a very similar situation to her, she had suffered through similar things and was also in a very similar situation. Due to this, it was easy to accurately compare the two together and realize that they were indeed quite similar in many aspects.
And the question easily emerged in both of our minds.
If she could change despite all of this, why couldn't the fox girl before us also change?
Maybe we were too overly cautious, but after seeing how crazy she could get, it was very hard to not be extremely wary! Also, a carefree heart in this world would only get you killed; you have to quickly grow cautious of everything. Well, this doesn't mean that you have to grow ruthless or cold-hearted. But it means that you must be very careful with your decision and calculate what to do.
I felt happy that Benladann shared this thought with me and both of us decided to not trust her despite how her sobbing and her supplication broke our hearts and made us reconsider for a bit.
In the end, Miranda ended convincing us with her reason… but… ugh, I still didn't trust the fox girl. She was after all a Vixen! She could bite us from behind and enchant us with her cute charm just as she did a few minutes ago! We can't possibly fall for her cuteness and then get backstabbed!
But… I want to trust Miranda, and she also made a promise to me, to be able to come here and meet us more, as she had been enclosing herself within Benladann's soul for way too long and I really just wanted to meet her and have her build up her own experiences in this world.
And honestly, I wanted to grow closer to her, she was like Benladann's little sister, and also cute, cuter than I could have expected, and those big and crimson-red eyes were very enchanting.
I've now realized that perhaps I have her as a new weakness…
No! I won't fall for it! I will resist and just help her get along with everyone and let her experience life with everyone else… Yes, that's the thing we must do.
We still have to guide her some more, she hasn't completely recovered from her emotional scars, it was obvious that we must help her recover, indeed, that's it, exactly.
And well… right this morning, she had decided to emerge.
