Chapter 145 Toys
At this point, Sawyers and I never returned to the water, although it was difficult to conceal the fact that we would turn back into fish during the full moon every month - but Asu Yue was now in the same boat with us, so she was more concerned about hiding our abnormality than the two of us.
"Mother--"
“Ahh.”
She began to teach us to speak.
I didn't want to speak, but my brother tried hard to speak, but he was obviously used to communicating with me through ultrasound, and this normal pronunciation was not something he was used to.
So he behaved like a child.
As a result, Asu Yue gave up after only two days.
"Hoyol, I never knew raising a child was such a hassle."
The blond man patted her back very skillfully and said, "Then let's find a nanny to teach them."
"…But the babysitter might notice something's wrong with them."
Asu Yue hesitated for a moment, and then Huoyol took out a roll of parchment.
"I have a 'contract'. Once you sign it, you don't have to worry about it being told to anyone."
“When did you get this??”
"...Didn't I say a few days ago that I was negotiating with a merchant from South County? I found the Alliance symbol on him, but he probably didn't recognize me and just treated me as an ordinary customer."
As he said that, he took out two more bottles of medicine.
"I also bought two bottles of this, enough for three uses."
"Night Kite Blood, Condensate!" Asuyue looked at the two bottles of potion in shock. "Hoyol, what would I do without you—"
Her voice turned sweeter. "This gives us a little more confidence."
Then the two of them started to get close to each other, and I turned around and turned my brother over.
Not suitable for children.
But speaking of teachers, I think of Villar——
The only way for Villar to appear now is as a teacher. Although this is just a title, because Asu Yue has put us under his nose, Villar's appearance needs a legitimate reason.
...So, can Villar apply for the nanny position?
And you can make money.
I think so.
So the question is, how does Villar apply for the job? He must know this before applying, right?
"Leave it to me. I'm still considered... an evil god. I'll just change their perceptions based on what they already know. It shouldn't be a big deal."
[After all, they...need a babysitter.]
Good, reliable.
So Tong, this shouldn't cause any warning from the world consciousness, right?
[…No, actually, you don't need to overthink it. As long as it's beneficial to the protagonist and won't cause a major bug in the world, this little backdoor is fine.]
Why didn’t you say so earlier?
"I'm the system! I can't say things like that! How else am I supposed to write my daily report?!"
Then a few days later, Villar dressed in black came to visit. The moment Huoyol opened the door, he only remembered vaguely seeing the black air, and then his expression changed from vigilance to confusion.
"Mr. Miller, I heard that you are looking for a suitable nanny for your child..."
Vilar's deep voice was rhythmic, and Hoyol nodded quickly.
"Yes, I didn't expect someone to come so soon. Sir, please come in first."
"Hoyol, who is he?"
At this time, Asu Yue also came out with us in her arms, and when she saw Villar, she became alert.
"Oh, dear, he's here to apply for a babysitter."
Hoyol stepped forward and said.
"A babysitter? But he's a man... and so suspicious..."
Then I saw Veral's hand move, black tentacles appeared, and Asu Yue stopped talking.
"...I think this is great, so when do we sign the contract?"
She said quickly.
"How about now, ma'am?"
Veraer bowed slightly, "I think the two young masters will like me very much."
He didn't say a word, but now Asu Yue and Huoyol have begun to trust him - after all, he is a legitimate evil god. Although he has been downgraded to a job like [Sea God] in this world, he is still a god.
Even Asuyue and Huoyol could not guess Villar's identity.
Then they signed the contract, which was the agreement, amid laughter and joy.
A contract that is of no use to Villar.
But both sides are obviously satisfied.
"I will declare you a governess, Monsieur Villars."
Hoyol and Vilar shook hands. "Your room is on the second floor, next to the two children's rooms."
"Okay, I'll take care of them."
He took it from me very smoothly, completely ignoring the protagonist who also reached out his hand.
Looks like he's still holding a grudge.
[After all, he showed no mercy when he imprisoned me.]
Okay, I’m not the kind of person who only supports what is right and not what is dear to me. Local specialties are more important.
Then I pretended not to see my brother waving in Asu Yue's arms.
"Sangsang, my younger brother."
"Family members: Blackfish and dog."
"You can't call out the dog!"
I was horrified when I heard what Sawyers said. After all, the last time he said that, he just waved his hand and called out the little three-headed dog. Now that Huoyol and Asuyue are here, if he calls out, it will be a big problem -
No matter how much you modify your cognition, you can't treat the three-headed dog as an ordinary dog, right?!
Maybe my voice was too urgent. Although Asuyue and Huoyol couldn't hear it, the glass next to us could feel it and then it shattered.
For a moment the whole room was silent.
"...Haha, what happened? Why did it suddenly break?"
Hoyle glanced at Sawyers and me, then came over to smooth things over.
After all, in their opinion, this was something that Villar could not know, even though Villar's dress itself was very unusual.
"Let me take the two young masters upstairs first. I need to get familiar with them."
Villar was very considerate and didn't ask anything. He took Sawyers from Asuyue's arms with his left hand. Sawyers was obviously frightened by the not-so-small voice I just made, and now he was nestled in Villar's arms.
[This scene is very similar to a single father raising two children.]
No, there is no need to make that association. We are of different generations.
Anyway, they carried us upstairs. As for who would repair the glass, it was none of their business.
…
Then Veraer and I started living a life that seemed like a nanny, but was actually a full-time babysitter.
It took a month to teach Sawyers how to speak, using the evil god's method of simulating and guiding power. Sawyers adapted very quickly and soon imitated the way humans speak.
Only then did I realize that our race speaks differently from humans. When we speak human language, we actually use onomatopoeia instead of actually speaking it ourselves.
No wonder it was so difficult for Asu Yue to teach me before.
【Since I couldn't speak human language when I was little, it was quite easy to teach me this.】
...But I can do that in that world?!
Is this the difference between being raised by a dad and a mom?
[No, host, is there a possibility that at that time, local specialties had no brains and were all instinctive?]
I:……
I think you, the system, are the scheming one.
【……】
Very good, everyone involved is silent.
“Brother…brother!”
Sawyers, who had just learned to speak, had already started to speak the words he already knew without any instruction, and obviously, just like before, the first sentence was "brother".
I squeezed his hand encouragingly.
Then he stood up, tried to take two steps, and his eyes became red.
"pain."
He said so.
…Now I remember that after becoming a human, walking felt like being pricked by needles. He had never experienced this before because he was always held in his arms, and I ignored it because it didn’t hurt much.
After all, my pain threshold is high.
"Then sit down for a while."
Viral picked him up and placed him on the cushion beside him.
Just sitting down, not having to walk anymore, which we all knew was impossible—Sawyers would have to get used to it sooner or later.
————————
Two years passed in a flash. Sawyers and I were three years old. Sawyers also began to understand the world and showed precocity. At least now he consciously regarded himself as an older brother and took it as his responsibility to take care of his younger brother.
——Although I don’t know where his confidence comes from, after all, Villar and I raised him since he was a child.
But at least in the eyes of others, the two children of the Millier family have been smart since childhood. The elder brother is generous and cheerful, while the younger brother is taciturn, and both are precocious and sensible.
They all say that he is worthy of being the child chosen by God himself, and even his personality is very similar to the apostles recorded in the scriptures.
I:……
Forget it. My experience from so many worlds is that you shouldn’t reason with religious people. After all, everyone’s underlying logic is different, and neither is wrong.
"Sawyers, Sindra, from today on you will go to the Red House to study with Lord Allah. You must be obedient, do you understand?" Asu Yue said to the two of us.
"Don't worry, mother. I will take good care of my brother."
Sawyers smiled, and his smile seemed to have magic, and Asu Yue couldn't help but relax her expression.
But I am the only one who knows that his smile is fake.
Sawyers hates Asuyue.
That was the moment he understood how Asu Yue treated us when we were little.
But he still pretended to like Asu Yue in front of her. I don’t know why, maybe it’s the cub’s nature to hide himself, or something else.
But I feel relieved.
There was a time when I was worried that he would actually believe the lame lies that Asuyue and Huoyol had made up.
"What about you, Sindra?" Asu Yue was in a trance for a moment and looked at me. I nodded expressionlessly.
"Then be careful on your way, my children."
Then she watched us walk out of the house hand in hand.
…
The Red House remains the same as it did two years ago, and the people are still the same.
Sawyers and I are now like the kids at the kindergarten, except there are other kids, of course, but we're the youngest.
"My dear godchildren, you seem to be in good shape."
Allah, who was dressed in white, saw us and spoke kindly.
"Good morning, Lord Allah, you look healthy too." Sawyers stood in front of me and said this to the old man.
Allah walked forward and picked up Sawyers, then took my hand.
Now the weight of both of us is still a bit too much for the old man.
He took us into a small room next door, where three or four children were already sitting, and they looked quite young.
"We have a new family today," he said to the children in the room. "This is Sawyers, and this is Sindra."
“Sahib, isn’t this the name of the Father’s Apostle?”
A childish voice sounded, and the old man's expression became very soft.
"Yes, these are the names I gave them. They will surely become the most qualified apostles of the Father on earth."
"Okay, let's start the class."
…
The whole morning was filled with boring religious studies. If I hadn't been chatting with the system and Villar in my mind, I think I would have fallen asleep on the spot.
But Sawyers listened carefully.
I thought about everything this kid did in the future, maybe he learned it here—
There is a basis for judging a child’s future by the age of three!
After the course, we had the so-called communion in the red house, which was bread and orange juice. The bread was still hard, but Sawyers ate it very seriously.
Thanks to Veraer joining the family as a nanny, Sawyers and I at least have normal meals every day, so Asu Yue still hasn't realized that we can actually survive without eating.
On the way home, Sawyers kicked the stones on the road and said to me,
"Sangsang, I really like that grandpa."
"Why? We saw him when we were little, right?"
I don't understand why he suddenly said that.
"Because that grandfather's gem is almost completely black."
What gem?
"ah? "
"Can't you see, Sangsang? There's a gem on everyone's head—when the gem is dyed black, it becomes my toy."
I:?
Huh? Wait, what are you talking about?
How come you have this skill and I don’t?
"I can't see."
"Eh? Is it because I'm the older brother that I'm better than Sangsang?"
"But Sangsang has—I can't beat the teacher."
He lowered his head again.
"None of these toys can beat the teacher."
His expression turned depressed.
And I felt a little creepy when I heard it.
I looked at him.
"So how many toys does my brother have?"
He paused and began snapping his fingers.
"One, two, three... seven, eight, eight!"
He smiled brightly.
I:……
So, it’s not a matter of turning evil later, you were evil from the beginning!
"Oh right, there's nothing on my mother's head, so I turned my father into a toy~"
I:……
I really didn’t notice it at all!!!
[I didn’t find it either.]
But this also revealed a little information...that is, Sawyers can't attack Asu Yue either?
Then we were both eaten alive?
