"...Why did you kill your parents..."

When he said this, tears obviously overflowed from Pallas's eyes, and his voice started to get choked up.

"Paras... is a bad boy, because I was born with terrible power, and ended up killing my parents unintentionally..."

(In other words, did this child accidentally kill his parents before he could control his magic power? But generally speaking, the minimum age for losing control of magic power is about 10 years old, and this

The child is only about 7 years old, which means...this child has huge potential?)

In order to test Pallas's potential, Melo put his hand on the child's forehead to sense the magic power in Pallas's body.

(What a powerful potential magic power! If this child can get proper guidance, he will be able to become a strong person at the level of an evil star warrior in the future!)

"Sister Melo? What are you doing?"

"Ah, it's nothing... It's just that Pallas, you are so strong, why don't you deal with those who bully you? Although I know that they are the ones who adopted you, so they have adopted feelings for you, which makes you unwilling

Take action, but have you endured it long enough? If you continue like this, you will be beaten to death."

"But... I feel a lot of pain just from being beaten by them, so if I kill them... they will definitely feel more pain."

This was beyond Milo's expectation. He didn't expect that Pallas had such a side in his heart. However, this was also Pallas's own business, and Milo couldn't interfere too much. It was just that those men took advantage of this.

Opportunity kept attacking Pallas, which also made her very unhappy. As a girl, she couldn't swallow this breath no matter what she said.

"Paras, I already have a general understanding, but if you keep doing this, you will die. You have great potential. As long as you can practice with me, I guarantee that you can become as strong as you want.

, and you can control your own magic power so that you won’t kill others unintentionally.”

"But...what if I accidentally kill someone? I'm so scared..."

"Paras, although what I say next may be a little early, you may not be able to understand it. But... only after you become stronger, will you be qualified to judge what you are doing.

Right or wrong, and whether I have the right to decide other people's life or death, forget it, you probably don't understand these words yet."

"...?"

Just as Milo had guessed, Pallas tilted his head with a confused expression on his face.

"I have another question. You were beaten so badly by them, why didn't you even cry? And I just noticed that you even had a smile on your face."

"...This is strange to say. But...it was not like this at the beginning. When I was just adopted by them, if they bullied me, I would be angry or cry, but the more I became

The more I get angry and cry harder, the more arrogant and violent they become, and the harder they beat me. But on the contrary, if I hold back from crying and smile instead, they will find it very boring.

, it only needs to be minimally injured and everything will be fine. No matter how painful or angry you are, as long as you smile..."

"I see, because you keep putting on this smile, no matter what terrible things happen to you, you can still live with this smile."

"There is no way...because I killed my parents...so..."

"No, you are wrong. This has nothing to do with you killing your parents. What is wrong is that you are now considered a "weak" by them. You have always felt guilty for killing your parents, and you will no longer feel guilty.

If you are unwilling to use your magic, you will make them think you are a "weak". In today's world, only the strong are just and correct."

"Sister Melo."

"I have been through this before, so I tell you, this world... is a world of the jungle. Only the strong can survive, and the weak can only die! No matter how you use laughter to escape, you can never escape today.

This real world. Okay, I'll leave now. If you get hurt again in the future, just come to me. I will come to this room to visit you every night."

After saying these words, Mero opened the door and left. Pallas ran to the door and opened the door. As a result, Mero could no longer be seen.

Pallas returned to the original room without a trace, and then sat on the tattered floor of the room. She hugged her knees with both hands, and at the same time... she recalled what Melo had just said to her, especially what Melo had said to her.

The last words she said touched her greatly.

(This world... is a world where only the strong eat the weak. Only the strong can survive, and the weak can only die! No matter how you use laughter to escape, you can never escape today's real world.)

At this time, Melo has not actually gone far. She is still staying in this broken house, but relying on her strength, she does not have to worry about anyone being able to discover her existence.

"Will this child named Pallas stand up and become a strong man, or will he stop here and be stepped on?"

In the next few days, Melo continued to observe every move of Pallas, but...in the end, regardless of whether he had done something wrong or not, Pallas would be brutally beaten, and what Melo left to her was

The gold coins were also robbed the next day.

Those people beat Pallas violently again the next day, and kept asking Pallas where he got so much money. However, Pallas never told the story about Melo.

That night, Melo followed the agreement and came to the room where Pallas was. She was extremely sad when she saw the scars all over Pallas's body, and immediately cast healing magic on Pallas's behalf.

Mero's healing magic is naturally very powerful. The scars on Pallas's body were healed instantly. After healing Palas's injuries, Mero took out some food from his space bracelet.

Passed it to Pallas.

"...Sister Melo, what is this?"

"It's for you, don't be polite to me, just eat it."

Melloti brought some honey snacks to Pallas. Seeing these high-end snacks that were impossible to eat at ordinary times, Pallas couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but he never dared to get them.

"I told you, you don't have to be polite to me, just eat it, or do you want me to feed you?"

"I, I know, I eat, I eat."

Pallas took a piece of honey snack and took a bite. Immediately, the sweet taste of honey and the soft texture of the bread made her feel an unprecedented feeling of happiness.

"Uh-huh-huh-huh..."

"It's delicious, isn't it?"

"Hmm, um, haha... uh uh..."

Pallas had no time to talk to Melo, so he just started to devour it. As a result, he ate so fast that he naturally choked.

"Uh...wuwuwu..."

"Who told you to eat so fast?"

Melo took out the water bag from the space bracelet again and handed it to Pallas. This time, Pallas did not refuse. He directly took the water bag from Melo's hand and drank the water. Finally,

The lump of snack was finally swallowed.

"call……"

"The feeling just now was very uncomfortable, wasn't it? If it had been a little later, you would have died. Wouldn't it be painful to die?"

"die……"

"Yes, that feeling just now is the feeling before death. If you are really going to die, the feeling will be even more painful than before."

"More...pain."

Pallas's face became a little ugly, and when Melo saw that Pallas had almost finished eating, he stood up from the floor where he was sitting, and then threw a bag of gold coins to Pallas.

S.

"If you can't get the gold coins, it will be difficult to explain to those people, right? Take it, there are about 20 gold coins in it."

Pallas did not rush to pick up Mero's bag of coins, but instead asked Mero.

"Sister Melo, who are you? This is the third time you have given me so much money. So much money...don't you care?"

"Me? It's okay to tell you what I have to say. I am the seventh evil star warrior under Demon King Solomon."

"Evil, evil star warrior!?"

Even people like Pallas knew the name of the Evil Star Warrior. When she looked at Melo, fear gradually appeared in her eyes.

However, Melo walked up to Pallas and said: "You don't need to be so afraid. Although I am an evil star warrior, I will not kill people casually. I also have principles for killing people, but Pallas

Lars, you can say that you are my friend, but I will never kill my friends."

"You said... you said..."

"Paras, I already regard you as my friend. You also know how strong I am, right?"

"Uh-huh……"

Almost everyone knows how powerful the Evil Star Warrior is, and most people will have such a reaction, which Melo can understand.

"Paras, please remember, I am your friend. Although I still want to chat with you for a while, but... I heard someone walking over, and I can't let them discover my existence yet.

So I’m leaving now, and I’ll come back to you tomorrow.”

After saying that, Milo used space magic to disappear in front of Pallas, who was already dumbstruck at this time.

However, she recovered quickly and lay on the floor wanting to sleep.

(It turns out that Sister Melo is an evil star warrior. Evil Star Warrior. I heard from my parents before that everyone is a terrifying and evil existence. So is Sister Melo a bad person? But...even so, she is really

It’s so awesome.)

Pallas fell asleep after a while. After confirming that Pallas had fallen asleep, Melo appeared again. She came to Pallas and gently touched her body.

He covered him with a quilt and gently stroked Pallas's head.

At this time, Pallas's hand suddenly moved and took Melo's hand.

(Oops, has she woken up already?)

Melo originally thought that Pallas had woken up, but that was not the case. Pallas just happened to hold her hand.

"Mother……"
