Chapter 151
He conducted forbidden human experimentation in secret, bringing along Demon Clan members and magical beasts. He likely contributed significantly to the creation of chimeras and artificial humans.
Salome Yudia was created from Dios Yudia’s blood, so in a sense, she is his daughter. Salome herself bears little guilt, so there’s no need to punish her. It seems she’s already attached to Young Master anyway, and it shouldn’t cause problems going forward. Or perhaps, to be certain, it would be better to eliminate her…
Attached? What does that even mean?
Shouldn’t cause problems going forward?
Like the occasional nonsensical remarks Bunny would make, Luriel was now saying things that came out of nowhere and made no sense at first.
Kiriel Yudia stared at the notebook with a subtle expression.
The pages fluttered past, then came to an abrupt stop once more.
Still, this works out well. There were many difficult things I couldn’t tell Young Master about.
“What?”
Kiriel Yudia. Can you do anything for Young Master? For Bunny’s happiness, can you do absolutely anything?
Suddenly, bright red letters appeared on the notebook.
Kiriel Yudia’s expression hardened completely.
He glanced down briefly at Bunny, then turned his gaze back to Luriel’s notebook.
“What exactly are you saying?”
Kiriel asked, his voice slightly lower than before.
Young Master will soon face many difficult and troubling situations. Everyone will slander and defame Young Master. I can tell you who the bad people are and how to manipulate them to bring them to your side.
“Didn’t you say you couldn’t see the future?”
The future has diverged greatly from what I knew. But I still possess information gained from seeing that future. Let me help you. Let’s make Young Master happy together.
Kiriel remained silent, simply gazing at Luriel’s notebook.
Bunny had always said that she needed to be happy. Only then could she meet Luriel again.
Though happiness had no fixed definition, the child always spoke those words.
She must become a fine adult.
She must be happy.
The child spoke as if bound by some compulsion, always repeating those words.
He gazed silently at the notebook.
“What exactly is happiness?”
Kiriel Yudia asked.
“Happiness can’t be defined by a single word. I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
When Young Master no longer trembles in anxiety, and a happy future arrives where all those who sought to defame Young Master have disappeared.
Kiriel Yudia’s eyes narrowed as he quietly observed the notebook.
Was that the happiness Bunny desired?
Well, Bunny is the kind of child who can smile with the greatest happiness in the world simply by eating a single piece of chocolate.
“Bunny is already happy.”
Kiriel stated firmly.
Because of the instability, this disaster has erupted. How is this happiness? Young Master is currently suffering and in pain.
“When you learned of Bunny’s situation, you said you had nothing more to offer.”
Yes. Young Master will overcome this well. However, we could eliminate unforeseen variables that might arise.
“What variables are you referring to?”
There are many. First and foremost, we need to drive out Salome Yudia and her mother.
The notebook spoke in a calm, flowing script.
After staring at those words for a long moment, Kiriel Yudia finally grasped the source of the discomfort that had been nagging at him, and he faltered.
He opened his mouth with a meaningful expression.
“Wanting Bunny to be happy… it feels like that’s for your sake, not hers. Am I mistaken?”
At Kiriel’s words, Luriel’s notebook stopped moving once more.
The pages that had been fluttering ceased their motion entirely, stiffening, and no new words appeared.
“Does Bunny’s happiness bring you some benefit?”
Even under Kiriel’s pressing, the notebook remained silent.
Before it had been blank, but now it was clearly hesitating.
“…There’s something you must achieve, even if it means turning yourself into a relic.”
Kiriel Yudia exhaled slowly.
An unsettling thought had begun to creep into his mind.
The deeply troubling notion that this woman had been toying with Bunny from beginning to end.
“What exactly is your purpose, Luriel?”
Kiriel asked, his voice growing heavier.
The woman who claims to be Salome Yudia’s mother is a Witch. She’s in league with the Tower Master Jedrian. It was that mad sorcerer, Jedrian, who helped her create the Homunculus.
As if Kiriel’s words had gone unheard, Luriel’s notebook suddenly spilled forth a torrent of information.
Kiriel Yudia’s expression cracked.
“Hey.”
The Witch’s purpose is… Salome Yudia’s happiness.
Kiriel, reaching toward the notebook in frustration, froze.
The pages fluttered—
turning over.
And Salome Yudia’s happiness is…
Luriel’s notebook suddenly lifted from Ma-Gom’s embrace, floating into the air before settling at eye level with Kiriel Yudia.
…only possible if Bunny—no, Young Master—is miserably driven from this Dormitory Mansion or dies.
“…What? That makes no sense whatsoever…”
It’s a predetermined future. From the very beginning, it was an unwinnable battle.
Kiriel could not comprehend Luriel’s words at all.
“A predetermined future?”
He could not fathom how one person’s happiness could require another’s misery. He couldn’t even follow the logic of this conversation.
“Are you saying Salome must be unhappy for Bunny to be happy?”
Upon hearing Kiriel’s question, the notebook immediately provided an answer.
Yes.
“Why?”
Because that’s how the future is predetermined.
Kiriel fell silent.
Her words made no sense whatsoever.
Think about it. According to Luriel’s own account, there isn’t much she can predict anymore. By her own admission, many futures have already diverged from their set paths.
“You said many things have already changed, so how can there be a predetermined future?”
“I’ve told you before. I’ve seen a future. I’ve managed to avoid the minor details until now, but there’s no guarantee that will continue forever. Not until I eliminate every single risk factor.”
“So you’re telling me to kill Salome and that child’s mother right now?”
At those words, Kiriel’s face twisted with displeasure.
He had accepted Allen and Bunny as his children. Salome and Kalbad were children who had ended up living in the Annex Building with them, but he had never truly considered them complete strangers.
Especially Salome—she had no other trustworthy adult in the household besides him. He had thought of her as his brother’s child and embraced her as family.
Despite her complaints, Salome treated Bunny as a younger sister, and Bunny adored Salome in return.
To Kiriel, Salome was no different from Bunny—she was his daughter.
“You’re asking me to kill my daughter right now.”
“It’s for the Young Master’s sake.”
“Bunny is precious to me, but that doesn’t mean the other children aren’t precious too. Both girls are my daughters. I’ve raised them as my own, and Salome and Bunny have grown up like sisters.”
There was no room for Luriel to interfere in that.
“Besides, I never heard Salome herself express such a wish for Bunny’s fate.”
If Salome were to speak those words herself, perhaps I could reconsider. But Kiriel had heard nothing from her.
All he had heard were the voices of countless people slandering Bunny and Luriel’s explanations, which were entirely focused on Bunny.
‘A prophetess, you say?’
Killing one’s daughter because of misfortune that may or may not come to pass—that was absurd.
No single child was more precious than the others. Bunny’s presence had brought the other children into my life, but the other children’s presence is what made this moment possible.
“Are you saying the Young Master’s life doesn’t matter?”
“I’ll protect them both. But you still haven’t answered my question. What is your true purpose? It can’t simply be for Bunny’s happiness…”
Kiriel Yudia’s eyes narrowed in an instant.
“Your obsession is not normal.”
It was clear that Luriel had something she could only obtain if Bunny became happy.
