Chapter 9.2. I Swore To Protect My Child

-Dad’s POV-

Even if I stop them, I bet they will try to get Miu to use magic somehow. And considering that they might do something dangerous, it is better to let her use it than to stop her. I understand that it is impossible to hide it anyway.

Miu turns her palm, which is as small as an autumn leaf, toward my father, meditates, and groans.

[Minor Heal I]

Father’s body glows faintly for a moment. It was so fleeting that I might have missed it because of the faint light, but my father immediately rolled up his arms. I wondered why he rolled up his arms, but I was immediately astonished.

Because there was a brand new bandage on his arm. It was soaked with blood.

He was going to use his arm to check her recovery magic. What an obsession, I thought, and I saw a shred of insanity in it. He must have had to use his own body to be sure it was real.

My father removed the bandage in a panic and rubbed his blood-stained arm, a look of glee on his face.

“Look! I thought I had cut myself a little bit too much, but now I don’t even have a scar! It has completely recovered. It’s healing magic!”

“Grandpa, did your arm hurt too?”

Miu gives a puzzled voice to my father, who is looking at his arm for some reason, even though he asked her to heal his back. Poor thing. She wouldn’t expect forced to heal an arm he injured himself.

“Oh, Grandpa had a bloody arm too, but thanks to Miu, it’s healed. Thank you.”

My father is excited, his eyes blazing with an ugly light as if he has found his prey. It’s worse because he is smiling with a good-natured expression, except for his eyes.

“Thank God! Pain, pain, fly away!”

“That’s right. What a good girl Miu is. I’ve never seen such a good girl in my life.”

My father continues to stroke Miu’s head with a smile he has never shown to my brother or me. Is it my imagination that I can almost hear a high-pitched laugh from his back?

My brother looks more and more unhappy at the sight. I recognize that grim look, and it makes me worry about Miu.

When he looked like that, he usually took it out on those around him, hitting servants and breaking vases and such. In the worst-case scenario, he would trap people he didn’t like and put them in a terrible situation.

Whatever the case may be, Miu was squealing with joy. She is an innocent good girl. I don’t want to expose her to bad intentions.

“Dad. It’s almost time for me to finish your visit. I’m sorry, but could you please leave?”

I tell him with a hint of coldness in my voice, and my father’s hand that was stroking Miu suddenly stops and turns to me.

“Okay. Then I’ll have to get ready to leave. When can Miu leave the hospital?”

The good-natured smile he showed Miu had faded away, and he showed me the same cold face he had at Count Takano family.

“Miu will get discharged soon. So you don’t have to come to visit her anymore.”

I clasped my hands tightly and firmly refused. It was a strong refusal with a strong will, something I couldn’t do when I was with the Count Takano family It’s different from the past. I have a wife and a child now. I am no longer the weak man I was in the past.

He must have noticed that I have changed. My father and brother were slightly surprised to see me different from the old me. My brother must not have expected me to speak so clearly.

However, the look of surprise easily disappears, and my father continues his story.

“I see. Then tell me when she’ll get discharged. I’ll send a car for you.”

“No, I’ll use my car. It’s fine.”

I knew too much that my father wasn’t the kind of person who would withdraw because of my implied message that he shouldn’t come near me anymore. Predictably, my father shrugged his shoulders, shook his head, and responded in amazement. No, it was a tougher answer than expected.

“Oh, come on, don’t tell me you drive yourself,Yoshiyuki. And, I hate to say it, but isn’t the car you drive a bit of a downgrade? Just leave it to me. I’ll send the best car in the house to pick you up. Oh, we also need to decide on Miu’s maid. Come and see which room she’ll use before Miu leaves the hospital. The best and sunniest room will be good.”

“What are you talking about? Miu’s room?”

At first, I did not understand what my father was saying. The words were so selfish and brazen that my head refused to understand them.

I had naively thought that he would provide a car for Miu to visit him frequently. I knew my father was not the kind of man who would be satisfied with that much.

“I’m glad you’re back in the Count Takanfamily. I’ve reconsidered that living in harmony with my family is the best. Seeing such a cute granddaughter’s face, I’ve reconsidered that my family should not be on bad terms with each other.”

“No thanks. I have our own home.”

“Hey, hey, don’t be so stubborn. We both had our faults. I apologize too. You should be honest, too. For the sake of my granddaughter.”

“……… is not the place for this, so let’s talk outside.”

Even though he unilaterally disowned me, people said we were both wrong. Moreover, he used Miu as a pretext to try to make up with me. It was a statement that made me angry in my chest, but I managed to swallow and bear it, and we decided to discuss it.

I would never give Miu to him. I swore strongly in my heart.
