Arka followed Nikles to the nursery room, opened the door, and saw the very pink room, all kinds of toys, all kinds of dolls, in short, very cute.

Arka stood in the doorway, shocked by the pink image, and his expression was gone.

"What's wrong?" Nikelus, who had let the servant retreat, turned his head and asked in confusion, who knew that the other party had answered.

"I suddenly don't want to go in, and I feel like I'm perverted as soon as I enter......"

“… Hey, hey. Nickles didn't know how to answer these words, he could only hang a drop of sweat on his forehead, and said helplessly: "This is the baby room, the room for lovely, soft and pure little babies!" ”

"Oh."

"Don't give it to me! Hurry up and come in! Nickles was blown up by Arca's disgusted expression, and as he pulled the person in, he muttered about how cute his childish paper was, like snow in winter......

"Is it cold?" Arka suddenly interjected.

"Huh?" Nickleus, who had not yet recovered, had a question mark on his head, and then remembered what he had just said, winter snow.

"Listen to me—it's as pure as the snow in winter!" He raised his voice, but he thought of something, lowered it, and said with a not very good complexion: "And it's not cold at all, it's in your arms, it's soft~" He made a hugging motion, and a weird flush appeared on his face.

This guy ......

Arka was chilled by Nikleth's expression.

Then she saw the soft, lovely, pure little baby he had spoken of, and was disappointed at first sight, because ......

"It's so weak."

She muttered.

It happened to be heard by Nikelus.

"......" he didn't want to talk to the idiot next to him anymore.

Nickles cut straight to the point, he bent down and gently picked up the crib, the sleeping baby, carefully in each other's hands, the red stone tied to his wrist for many years started to shine, shallow, but could not be ignored.

"She resonated with the Holy Stone."

"She?" Arka who missed the point asked suspiciously: "Female toddler?" ”

“… It's a little princess. Nickles had a tic-tac-toe bulge on his forehead, and he repeatedly warned himself that he must not speak loudly, because it would make noise to the cute little princess in his sleep, so Nickles pulled the topic back: "If I hadn't worn your improved holy stone, I might not have seen the air at all, and the 'Lingzi' you called ran into her body little by little......"

Nickles said, his face heavily colored.

"Oh." Arka stretched out her hand and poked the baby's white face under his gaze, which was more comfortable to the touch than a man's body, so she said, "More comfortable than that rough old man of Shanks." As he spoke, he poked a few more times.

“… Are you talking about serious topics? ”

Arka raised her head, there was no shame in her gray-blue eyes, and she said, "Sure enough, if you don't do it, you will think so much." ”

“… Hehe. "Blame me.

After Arka finished teasing with an expressionless face, she looked at the little toddler sleeping soundly in Nickles's arms, well, looking very energetic, she poked again: "After all, there is a father with a strange system, so it's not strange, right?" ”

Nikles looked at Alka's fingers, a little unbearable, but fortunately, the other party controlled the strength, otherwise he might reach out and slap the thief's claws away.

"Ruili, my wife, after she gave birth, her body was normal, but a few days later, she was inexplicably weak, and even the doctor couldn't find a reason, until one day, I happened to see the child curled up in her mother's arms, and there were more spirit children floating around her body than usual, these spirit children floated out of Ruili's body......" Nickles looked at the child in his arms, she was not yet a month, small, soft, but so terrible...

But、This is his child, no parent will be disgusted with his child because of this, at least he is。

"This child is unconsciously sucking the spirit child in Ruili's body, so at present, I can only use the reason that she is unwell and wants her to be healthy and recuperate to put the child in a room."

"Oh." Arka answered, and she withdrew the finger that poked the child's face, and there were small red marks on the white face, but the owner did not notice it, and slept comfortably.

And after his father Nikelus saw it, he only had an urge to pull the other party's clothes and yell at his daughter to be gentle, but the reality is always so skinny, just like after so many years, Shanks's red hair is still overwhelmed by Alka......

Although it is possible that the other party is happy to do so, tsk, M.

"I said back then, you who were about to die are now alive, you must pay a price, and this price is more inclined to your heirs, different from ordinary people, oh, to use your human words, that is-freak." Arka spoke lightly, as if it was none of her business, but it was really none of her business.

“… Is that so? Nickles looked at the little baby in his arms, he hadn't named her yet, but because her mother was now lying in bed and recuperating, he put the baby back in the stroller with his hand, and covered her with a thin quilt, and then turned to look at Alka.

He said, "You made me a vow. ”

"Oh, I remember." In order to be fair, Arka made a vow that as long as she could do it, then she would help him do it unconditionally.

"Please!" Nickles bent down cautiously, the lord of a country, and thus bent down to a seemingly weak woman.

Weak Woman Arka ......

"That's how you used it?" Arka asked suspiciously, she felt that a big killer like hers could be replaced with a more useful one, such as... Dominate the sea, well, forget it, dominate the islands! Wait, that's a little long......

Arka thought about it and realized that this was the best and quickest thing to do, but she said it anyway.

"It's not like I won't agree." She said, glancing at Nicklers, her eyes full of disdain.

Nickles naturally has his own plans, in the final analysis, this life is always picked up by the woman in front of him, and he seems to have taken advantage of others, and he also got a promise......

Tsk, it's annoying to look at! ╭(╯^╰)╮

So he just used it.

If Nickles had known that Arka was just using him as a guinea pig, he would have exploded.

"No regrets?"

Arka asked uncertainly.

"Well, I don't regret it."

"Oh." Seeing that the other party was so sure, Arka didn't say anything else, he directly stretched out his hand, and his fingertips gathered a small ball, which curled slightly, and stuffed it directly into the girl's head, and then ......

"Whoa, whoa, whoa—"

A loud cry lifted the eaves of the house.

"Ahh......h

Nickles walked back and forth with the howling child in his arms, and there was a trace of cold sweat on his forehead, probably frightened by the sound of the howling and crying, but his hand still patted her back and said comfortingly.

And Arka also had a few drops of sweat on his forehead, and looked at Niklers, who was still calm and smoothed the child's hair, with some fear, until the other party fell asleep again, it was already half an hour.

"Little ghost, are they all so scary?"

It made her feel the urge to throw the crying imp out the door.

"Poof, when Arka has a child of his own, he'll understand. Just a small smile will make people bloom happily......"

"You've already opened." Arka calmly pointed out that the snow-white lilies behind him had bloomed.

"Huh? Cough! Nickles was startled, suddenly came back to his senses, put away the flowers that didn't need money, coughed dryly, and said, "How are your things now?" ”

"Huh? What the? ”

Alka, who was playing with the small toys on the small bed, didn't hear clearly for a while, and asked suspiciously.

"Didn't you tell me before that you wanted to be human?"

As soon as Nickles said this, Arka eased up, she raised her head slightly, thought for a while, and said in confusion: "I don't seem to say that I want to be human, right?" ”

"Huh, no? That's what I thought it meant back then. ”

Nickles remembered the man standing outside the court, with his back to him, and his tone tinged with admiration for humanity.

"Tsk, you're mistaken!" Arka snorted coldly, full of displeasure and said, she won't admit it, no, it didn't happen at all, how could she admit it!

"Okay." Nickles relented, he felt that it was not interesting to argue about the subject, and the most important thing was that he did not benefit at all.

"So what's going on now?" He asked in a different way.

"Ah, it's still a little close, probably a few years."

I got the answer in a different way, unexpectedly... Gentle!

"Oh, it's been a long time." Nickles said as he patted his sleeping little girl on the back.

"Ah, after all, I'm the first virtual to think about becoming a human, so it takes a little time, but it's already the fastest speed." Alka flicked the little bead that didn't know what to do, and there was no special emotion in his gray-blue eyes. It's not so much that she didn't, but that she was hiding.

"Tsk, that Shanks guy really stepped on shit luck." Nickles used words to express his unhappiness.

And Alka listened, pursed the corners of his mouth, and finally didn't say anything, because ...... It's true, she really wants to be human because of Shanks.

Short lifespan, fragile body, even strength......

Arka looked at her hands, and she thought of what the Grim Reaper had said:

[Is it worth it?] False. 】

Is it worth it?

… Well, who knows.
