Chapter 136
“…Father?”
“I’m sorry, Evan.”
Kallaudin said briefly, resting his forehead on the shoulder of his taller son.
That one word contained all the sorry things.
“…This must be my karma for trying to use people’s deaths as a means. Don’t let the person you love go.”
Since he knew very little about Laria, therefore, it was entirely a decision for his son to save Laria instead.
“No. All of this was accomplished by father, so why for me…”
Evan, who couldn’t bear to say to save Laria instead of Matilda, muffled his words, but Kallaudin’s words were firm.
“I can never give up on you. Matilda wouldn’t want that either.”
“….”
“You wouldn’t have a father like me, so be happy with Laria without me. I’m trash that doesn’t deserve to exist.”
— It’s ridiculous.
The devilish voice interrupted.
― It’s true that you are trash, but why do you think devils only take lives in return?
Kallaudin tilted his head and replied.
“Because it is an unfavorable contract for humans…”
― In the case of Evan Icard, I have no choice because of causality though I won’t ask for such a price if I don’t have to take a human life.
The devil said, annoyed.
― As long as the contractor is alive, I can stay in the human world, but it’s better to have fun. I prefer to eat misfortune more than human lives.
“…Misfortune?”
― To twist the situation and see the contractor unhappy.
“No, what kind of bad taste…”
― I am a devil, so, of course, I should have bad taste. Should I have a hobby of serving instead?
The devil laughed and continued.
― Unlike Matilda Icard, a body that shouldn’t have had children in the first place, it’s easy to revive Laria Icard because I can teach humans a cure that they don’t yet know.
Evan unknowingly gulped.
― There will probably be a rift that shakes causality. And you, Kallaudin, will have to plant a strange tree in your backyard. You have to accept that amount of brainwashing now.
As the devil spoke cheerfully, he hesitated for a moment before adding.
― The problem is that Laria has already been reincarnated in another time in another world…
In the middle of the altar, the vision unfolded. A strange woman was dying alone and pitiful.
― Well, life is difficult in that world, too. She must have played the reincarnation roulette wrong. On the other hand, Matilda is living happily with her good family.
Evan looked at the back of the girl curled up and bit her lower lip. Even after reincarnation, she was suffering like that, so he wanted to save her somehow.
Kallaudin asked lowly.
“Then what price should I pay instead of my life?”
— I told you that I’m going to twist the situation a bit. I’ll take misfortune, not your life.
The devil’s voice was slightly excited.
― I’ll turn back time so Laria can live. You’ll probably have to go back to when she just got married for her to be completely healed. But…
Originally, the really important words came after ‘but.’
― The main character of Laria’s life this time will be another man.
“…What?”
― I think that would be the most painful thing for you.
The devil was right.
Evan’s face started to look very flustered.
― Since she was already married to you, I am at a disadvantage… so I’m making her believe that you’re marrying another woman next time.
“…That is too cruel.”
Kallaudin interrupted while frowning.
“Then, doesn’t that mean that even if you revive Laria, she won’t be connected to Evan?”
― Perhaps. Laria will think she’s in a book.
The devil giggled and continued.
― In the book, she remembers the male lead is a different person, and Evan, you are a supporting character among supporting characters, so she doesn’t even know you properly. The contents of the book will be twisted by me so that she will assume that you are marrying another woman.
As he added that since the devil had a limit to his power, he couldn’t change it to anything other than reality.
He said that he could leave things as they were and recognize things that hadn’t happened yet, so only the novel’s ending could be changed. Not only that, but he also added that he couldn’t completely change that part and that a certain degree of probability had to be considered.
― Laria will come back to life, but the two of you will repeat this with your memories forgotten now, and it could become even more miserable.
“….”
― Perhaps Laria will try to leave you guys. Of course, you might not like Laria either. Things will be very different from now.
The devil explained that now, this world would be destroyed, and the world where Laria had distorted memories would start over from seven years ago.
― Now, what are you going to do?
The devil said in a funny way.
— In the meantime, you will be very unhappy. Are you going to save Laria while enduring these adverse conditions?
It meant that even if Laria were saved, they would not be able to remember this entire process.
Kallaudin would repeat vain times to revive Matilda while neglecting his son again.
At the same time, Evan would also be ostracized from the academy and horribly abused by Ludva. Evan and Laria may not love each other, and there was even a man who was more important than him in Laria’s life.
Nevertheless…
“Even though her body was a bit okay, Laria said there were a lot of things she wanted to do.”
Evan murmured quietly.
“Even if she leaves me, even if I become insignificant in her life, even if I become very unhappy…”
So, it was not a choice for him though a choice for Laria.
“I want Laria to do everything she wants without getting sick.”
For a moment, there was silence at the altar.
“Father.”
Evan said for the first time, putting his forehead on Kallaudin’s shoulder.
“Thank you for letting me meet Laria.”
It was also a word with many meanings. They were both reticent and clumsy in relationships. So, they finally shared their sincerity, which they had never shared before in front of the devil.
“…I hate your misfortune, but I also loved Matilda so much, so I can respect your choice.”
Befitting the father-and-son without words, they did not even have long conversations.
“I will live a life full of anguish again, and I will neglect you the same, but it is what you want…”
Saying so, Kallaudin tapped Evan on the shoulder as he continued, “In one more lifetime, I might get closer to Laria because you are the child I love.”
“Laria was confident in her own way.”
— Well, I don’t know how she’ll act when she’s well.
It was sarcastic, as if the devil was teasing, but Evan muttered while laughing.
“Anyway, regardless of that, I think I’m going to like her.”
— Hmm… Are you signing the contract then?
At the devil’s last question, Evan and Kallaudin met each other’s eyes. Kallaudin decided to act for Evan’s sake and Evan’s for Laria’s sake, which had no benefit to them.
They would repeat a similar life again and end up frustrated. Even if they struggle to save Matilda anyway, if the price were Evan’s life, Kallaudin would give up. With only Laria living, they would live a completely different life, and with a high probability that Evan would be very unhappy…….
Evan nodded without hesitation.
“I will make a contract.”
― After I roughly made up the scenario, I needed to bring the soul over and turn the time back.
If Elanie, who would be excited about the only thing left to do were pass the divorce law, it would be a great surprise.
― Since I came to the human world after a long time, I should find a suitable slave after incarnating beautifully and be treated well!
With the final sound of the excited devil’s voice, everything began to spin.
— Laria? Meeting the kid I saved must be like meeting a pet.
Regardless of what the devil had said, Evan muttered quietly with his eyes closed.
“…Laria, it’s okay if only you can live.”
Tears flowed down both his cheeks.
“If there is one thing I desire…”
It was a tear that he did not shed even when Laria died.
“I’m healthy now… I wish I could just hear that one word.”
The world was destroyed like that, and one soul that had already been reincarnated had returned to this world by going back in time.
