Chapter 875
The children were rather curious
“They are so full of energy after their studies. And since they have grown so much, they are starting to get so much faster, that I am in danger of being caught.”
“Hah…hah… Do you think they are getting stronger because they chase after your tail so much?”
Even if they were doing it as a game, they probably put some thought into coordination and how they move. So it might be effective as training.
“Here, Mr. Takumi.”
“Thank you.”
“Hey, old man!”
“…Uh, as I said before, how about ‘mister’?”
After I caught my breath, Ms. Delia gave me a cup of water. As I drank, one of the girls called to me.
“Uh, mister. I’m sorry.”“Well, it’s fine. So, what is it?”
“Are you married to Delia?”
“What!?”
“Wh-wh-what are you talking about! Me and Mr. Takumi… As if that would ever…”
The girl was younger than Liza, and seemed like she didn’t quite understand what she was saying.
Regardless, Ms. Delia was even more surprised than me by what she said.
“My papa and mama are close, just like you and Delia! So I thought…”
“Uhh… Well… Yes, Ms. Delia and I get along well. But we are not married.”
“Really?”
She looked at us doubtfully.
“It’s true. Mr. Takumi has someone who is a much better match for him. Yes, he seems much happier when he is with her.”
“Huh?”
“What?”
I looked at her in surprise, and then she looked at me with a puzzled expression.
I suppose she was talking about Claire. Regardless, before I dealt with that, I had to convince the little girl first.
“Anyway, Ms. Delia and I are not like that.”
“Yes. We are not married. That’s completely wrong!”
“I see!”
The girl was finally convinced and then went away and returned to playing with the others.
I sighed with relief, as did Ms. Delia. We then looked at each other and nodded, as we were both thinking about the same thing.
It was time to gather the children together and find the next target… I mean, villains to be punished.
“Look over there. Those old men who are just standing there. Charge!”
“Hey, hey, Takumi!?”
“Wait! We didn’t do…!”
“We were just watching because Delia finally found a nice man!”
“Don’t listen to them children. Let’s go!”
“They want to play with you!”
“Yaaay!!”
