Sylphy was uneasy.
She's had a vague sense of anxiety about her.
And, her uneasiness was proved right, when she saw her child's hair was green.
As if she had finally snapped under the tension, or whether her stress had reached a limit, she fainted.
If I'd been better at providing her with a sense of security, things might have gone differently.
I'm sorry.
But, I also feel as if this is a sort of blessing.
Certainly, he has green hair, but there's nothing wrong with that.
Everything went smoothly.
This is my fourth child. I've properly thought of a name.
"... You, why are you here?"
Eris, who was sitting in the corner of the room, abruptly asked.
She was asking me.
I've been acting cowardly, and Eris responded with harsh words.
With that feeling in the pit of my stomach, I turned around.
"Huh?"
That wasn't it.
She wasn't referring to me.
There's a strange guy in the room.
Blonde hair. Wearing a white school uniform, with a buttoned shirt and long pants.
And, a familiar yellow fox-motif mask.
"Arumanfi...?"
Arumanfi was watching me patiently.
Or, more accurately, my baby.
He was patiently watching my green haired baby.
"Rudeus Greyrat. Perugius-sama requests your presence at the sky castle."
It would seem I've been summoned by Perugius.
