Evolution of a Girl

Page 59

This is natural, just like the destruction that World War III brought to this world...

But I don’t want to think about that today.

I put the scarf on Tianyin. Although I knew she was not afraid of the cold, I still wanted to do it.

Tianyin wrapped her scarf around her.

"Dad, do you like the beach?"

Not to mention liking it.

"Ah."

"Dad, do you like the sea?"

For those who experienced World War III, the suffering brought by the sea must have been even greater.

"Ah."

But I couldn't speak.

Don't want to spoil her fun.

"Does Tianyin like the sea?"

"Yeah, I like it. Very handsome!" A voice full of energy.

"Tianyin...who do you want to be in the future?"

Whatever you want to do is fine.

This way, he could leave the Puppet Village and take her to a big city. Perhaps Shinhama, Kobe, or Osaka.

She suddenly looked over with a strange, somewhat panicked expression.

"I want to be Daddy's puppet," she said, "because only in this way can Daddy save humanity. But for Tianyin, any form is fine~"

"Is it……"

There's a subtle sense of loss.

But more of a sense of relief.

If she answered the wishes of ordinary people, she would definitely leave here.

However, that would certainly be a complete denial of personality, ideals, and sacrifice. The moment one leaves the Puppet Village, the only thing left here would probably be a walking corpse.

But for Tianyin's sake, it doesn't matter.

However——I was saved by this answer.

She is the Son of God.

She is a puppet.

But she will eventually become something else.

"Let's go have lunch."

"Hi!"

After lunch, we went to the beach again.

I sat there stupidly for the whole afternoon, not doing anything else but just staying there.

That's all.

But it's very comfortable.

Thought of her.

But Tianyin is not her after all.

But what's the difference?

They are all my daughters.

That's all.

In the evening, I went home.

"system."

"Yes."

"Delete the email."

"Mail deleted, execution completed."

That's fine.

Chapter 88 I am very grateful to be your daughter

Summer has arrived in the world of swordsmen.

Kanami and Mai were not invited.

A family trip of just Amane and Shion began.

The destination is the beach.

Tianyin was wearing a pink one-piece swimsuit with a ruffled design. The cutouts created a split visual effect, and the large cutouts in various places and the tight-fitting nature of the one-piece swimsuit highlighted the girl's cuteness.

There are a lot of people on the beach.

It is completely different from the cold winter, and there is a human presence everywhere.

Shion took Tianyin out of the car and looked at the crowd over there from a distance.

"Aren't you going over?" Tianyin looked at Ziyuan.

Despite being called "Mother," Shion didn't look her age. She was about 27 or 28 years old, with long hair braided on her chest. She was wearing a white, translucent dress with a swimsuit underneath.

She had clearly already prepared her outfit, but she stopped before reaching the beach.

"When I was a child, I lived by the sea." She picked up Tianyin and looked at the crowd from afar.

"It's just that there was never a beach there. Then the disaster happened. So, my memory of the sea is actually not that good," she said.

"Also, there's a genetic disease in my family. Although the incidence rate isn't high, other people always exclude us. So, when I was in high school, I chose to go to a distant place to study."

Shion gently touched Tianyin's long hair.

“Then, I met him.”

"Is that Dad?" Tianyin asked.

"Yeah. He's a strange person. When he first entered school, he didn't fit in and was ostracized. It's probably the same as me before, so he's a little concerned." Shion smiled, as if thinking of something beautiful. "But he never cared about it. He even tried to convince others."

"He was a little clumsy at first, but he quickly changed his approach. Although he was clumsy at first, after half a semester, he seemed like a completely different person, able to get along with everyone. He even remembered everyone's birthday and hobbies in the class. Pretty impressive, right?"

"Yeah, that's amazing."

"I sometimes wonder how he managed to do it. But what surprised me even more was that by the second semester, he had suddenly returned to the way he was when he first enrolled."

"Eh?"

"That was when I truly understood what kind of person Dad was," Shion smiled. "For him, understanding other people was a necessary lesson, but that was all. Because in his genius mind, those people must have been ridiculous. Understanding others was just a necessary accumulation of knowledge, but it wasn't the way he should live his daily life."

Tianyin didn't say anything, just listened.

"But I was fascinated. At that time, I was convinced that I had fallen in love with that wonderful man. At that time, he must have been very distressed because there was a follower following him all the time."

"Actually, back then, I was still a girl who wasn't very outspoken, even a little awkward. Let alone communicating with others, even coming to a beach like this would make me feel suffocated and collapse."

"But I don't know why, I just like following him. I just hope to see him, understand him, and accompany him."

"Love comes from nowhere, yet it's so deep. That's probably what it means."

"In the beginning, he actually wanted to get rid of me. He had no interest in ordinary humans."

"The first time I got a positive response from him was actually because my genetic disease relapsed. His expression was truly amazing."

"When my condition stabilized, we got married. And then... we had a child."

"She's a very well-behaved girl."

"At that time, I was undergoing conservative treatment. Although I seemed normal, I had almost lost my ability to move. I had always wanted to make her a dress, but at that time, I was no longer able to complete such delicate work. So when we were at home, he was the one who cooked for her."

"I don't like fish, but I'll eat all the bad food my dad makes. I've always wanted to go to the ocean with my family, but I just write it down in my diary."

"She likes kendo and flower arranging, and she also has a school she wants to go to and a person she wants to be. Every day she waits for her dad to come home in the living room, and she loves to play with the dolls he keeps in the living room."

"But... like me, she's shrouded in the shadow of her family. This is a maternally inherited brain disease. After the onset of the disease, the personality gradually fades. Even cerebralization can't save it. In the end, the patient loses all personality and consciousness. Although the memory remains, it becomes a hollow shell. When the disease spreads to the cerebellum and brainstem, it's the end."

"This place is truly magical. It's called... 'The Hidden World', right? My soul, which had become an empty shell, was actually filled by it and became what it is now. I can even see my other daughter."

"I am already very happy to see you, Tianyin, and your friends living happily, and to see the sea," she said.

"It's so great to see you, Tianyin."

She held her daughter gently.

The girl came to this world not for someone in this world, nor because of coincidence or fate.

The purpose of her existence here is simply to fulfill someone's wish.

The girl's arrival was merely a response to this delicate wish. Only in this world could she appear, and only in this world could that delicate yet tiny wish be fulfilled.

——I want to be with my family and go to the sea together.

That's all.

Crossing the dimension of the world can shatter everything, but it cannot shatter the empty shell. On the contrary, the soul is given temporary life again.

"He actually doesn't like the sea. Because the memories of the sea are not good for him."

"Also, although the surname 'Kamiyo' is very common, his last name is very special. The origin of this 'Kamiyo' is derived from 'Yamataka Kamishiro Sakura'. Pretty impressive, isn't it?"

“I’m really grateful that you brought me here.”

"I'm so grateful to have you as my daughter."

"I'm really grateful to be able to accompany him, who is so willful."

"I am very happy to be your daughter."

The girl gently hugged her mother and snuggled into her arms.

"Hey, Mom."

"Ah."

"Can you tell me more about your sister?"

"Her name is Liuli, and she's a bit of a shady kid..."

The mother held her daughter's hand and walked towards the beach.
