The Baby Raising A Devil

Chapter 237

TL: Zimmings

I returned to the dormitory. Just as I was about to enter the room, Emeline called me.

“You’ve just arrived?”

“Yes. Why did you come so quickly?”

“Juliet sent me back to school. If she got the coordinate wrong, I would have died.”

“Did it have to be Juliet as your mentor?”

Emeline looked at me with ambitious eyes.

“I’ll never give up.”

I walked into the door while shaking my head, Emeline followed me and asked.

“What about you? You said you wanted the twin princes to meet.”

That was the reason I went everywhere looking for Mina.

I want to send West, who is glued to Mina’s side, to East’s prison.

I hoped that this situation would be resolved smoothly through talking.

East, who tried to attack West, is reflecting, and West will not be angry or afraid if he saw his brother in chains, so they should be able to talk.

I said as I went out to the terrace.

“Failure.”

Emeline asked while sitting on the bed.

“Why?”

“I had a fight with Mina.”

“Hm, West is following Mina, so he must’ve thought bad of you. You also know that, but why did you fight Mina?”

I told her a story that happened in town. After listening to the story for a while, Emeline laughed.

“Mina must have been a girl who grew up in a different world. Seeing that she doesn’t know how cruel people are.”

“Well, I hadn’t heard of what Mina was like before coming here.”

“Something like that happened when I was in Max’s gang. A nobleman who looked at Tri with pity gave her a silver coin. Naturally, Max became greedy, Tri was beaten up as the coins were taken away.”

I also know it. Because it happened in my previous life.

As a result, Tri was ill for three days and three nights, and for a while food was not given to her.

What would have happened to Tri had it not been for me and Emeline taking care of her?

I said looking at the scenery.

“But not everything Mina said was wrong.”

Those who fear the worst can’t help but be a coward.

Just like me, Emeline and Tri that couldn’t survive by ourselves before.

Hence, we always tend to think of the worst at crucial times.

“So, I think I might be wrong.”

“How many things in the world can be accurately divided into right and wrong? Not everything is divided into good and bad.”

“…… What?”

“It’s not ‘wrong’. It’s ‘different’.”

“…….”

“You and Mina are just different people.”

“…….”

“You are a person who can assume the worst. That’s why you think that what is needed to save people is not the goodwill of the individual, but the system. On the other hand, Mina values other things.”

Emeline got up from bed and came up to me as she patted my head.

“You are not wrong.”

She playfully ruffled my hair and said,

“Besides, why does it matter whose values are right?”

Seeing Emeline’s eyes, I burst into laughter.

“Yes, you’re right.”

In my first life, Mina struggled to create an ideal world.

In the process, many irrational things were done in the name of justice.

There was no one in charge, and many lives were lost behind the shadows.

In a world where Amity is considered justice and Dubblede evil, Dubblede family has slowly but clearly weakened.

‘I won’t repeat the first life.’

I am neither a ruler nor a philosopher. I wasn’t wrong, and it doesn’t matter if I’m wrong, as Emeline said.

‘Since when did I start thinking about the cause of being just? What’s important is my goal.’

If I can survive, if I can make the people under the land we rule less worried about tomorrow’s meal, I’ll gladly become a villain.

I said as I sat on a chair on the terrace.

“First, I should deal with West. I have a deal with East, but what worries me the most is that if Mina settles in Elysiano Class through West, it will be difficult.”

“Is there another way?”

“I already assumed that I would fail to convince West. So the second method is already underway.”

‘I didn’t want to do the second method, but I can’t help it.’

I laughed viciously.

***

The next day, Elysiano Class’s dining room.

West looked at Mina with a worried expression.

“Mina.”

“…….”

“Mina!”

“Huh? Oh, I was thinking about something else for a second… what is it?”

“Is it about yesterdau?”

“No…….”

As Mina shook her head and focused on the food, Elysiano Class’s Jin raised his chin and asked.

“What happened yesterday?”

West answered him.

“Lady Dubblede had an argument with Mina.”

“Argument?”

When Ryu Hong-hae, the scarlet princess, asked the question, West nodded.

“She took the money and got angry because Mina gave it to the hungry child.”

“West.”

When Mina called his name, West mumbled with a sullen expression.

“It’s true…….”

“It’s not an argument. Leblaine’s words were not wrong.”

“Then why are you like this? Is it because of the children?”

“Yes…….”

“Then should I find a place for the children to work at school?”

“Really? Can you do that?”

“Of course! Mina helped me, so I’ll help Mina too!”

Mina’s expression brightened as West laughed.

“So let’s get things done right away. In fact, I was so worried that I couldn’t even sleep properly. I know where the kids are, so I’ll get them.”

“Yes!”

Mina, who got up with her plate, bowed to the people of Elysiano Class and left the dining room. West hastily followed the girl.

Seeing the two left, Jin said, “Hmm…” as he touched the silver tableware.

“Jin, why do you look like that again?”

“……… We better keep our eyes on both East and West.”

“What?”

“Nothing. You just eat your meal.”

When Ryu Hong-hae blinked, Jin shrugged his shoulders and smiled as usual.

That afternoon, Mina brought the siblings to school, and West tasked them with cleaning up the campus and doing errands for the staff.

The younger sister looked around the campus and asked Mina.

“Will my brother and I really work here? Then give us 2,000 francs as a salary and let us live in the staff’s dormitory?”

“Of course! You’re going to work hard right?”

“I’ll do my best, saintess!”

“Saintess?”

“But… brother, didn’t you say that the saintess is a savior of poor children like us? Then Miss Mina is a saintess. She saves us, right?”

The older brother lowered his head without saying a word, Mina smiled and bent her knees.

“It’s West who helped you, and I’m not a saintess. Just call me Mina.”

“Miss Mina.”

“Yes.”

Mina patted her hair and smiled brightly.

After that, she could see the siblinhs running around on campus to sweep fallen leaves, polish statues, or run errands. Each time the younger sister met Mina, she jumped in a hurry and gave her cookies.

“M-Miss Mina. Miss Sonya gave it to me. I’ll give it to you.”

Mina smiled sweetly as she watched the child carefully holding out the cookie cut in half, wrapped in a handkerchief.

It’s been a week since the siblings worked at school.

Mina walked on campus with Sandra and some class A students.

“We have to submit a paper to use the communication device! That’s ridiculous!

“Writing a paper? Did they want to reduce the number of students? It’s like telling us to commit suicide!”

Mina giggled hearing her classmates banter.

People passing by Mina gathered one by one and chatted.

“Those children are brought by the second child of fate?”

“Yes. They got a job through West. But…”

“It’s true, they do something bad.”

The atmosphere was strange.

Mina stopped walking and looked around. Those who made eye contact with her turned their heads away.

When Mina’s group looked puzzled, Alan hurriedly ran from afar.

“Mina!”

“Alan? What’s the matter?”

“The siblings you hired stole something from the professor’s lab.”

“What?”

“The exam’s answer!”

“…… What?”

Mina’s expression hardened.

***

Hearing the story of the siblings from Emeline, I laughed and Emeline asked.

“Is this the second way? You told the siblings to steal the answer?”

“It’s not like that.”

“Then…….”

“Yes, Mina’s good intentions turned out to be the worst. So where is Mina now?”

“I think the professor got angry and took the sibling’s luggage out of the staff’s dormitory and left it on the campus. She must be there.”

“Let’s see.”

I headed to the campus, and Emeline followed me.

In the middle of the campus, there was a crowd of students alongside West and Mina, just like Emeline said.

Mina held onto the professor and begged.

“We need to see if these children really stole the answers or not. It’s not too late to unpack after that.”

“I’ve witnessed them steal exam papers from my lab! What more evidence do you need here? He used his sister to look out for people!”

“No way… Praner, you really stole the test paper?”

“…….”

The older brother lowered his head, and the younger sister wept.

The professor shouted at Mina.

“You are the one who we should investigate.”

“What?”

“The children you brought in stole the test papers. Aren’t you the one who ordered them to steal it?”

“No!”

“Then why did they do it!”

“That… I…….”

Mina looked at the siblings with a confused expression.

Then, someone said,

“It’s really suspicious.”

The other students responded.

“She must have been afraid of the test because she came to school without being qualified. How can she be in this school if her skills are exposed? That’s why she told them to steal the exam paper.”

“Isn’t it also strange that she saved West? She jumped in to protect West without even knowing him. How could that be possible?”

“She protected West because of this situation.”

“Stupid West. He didn’t even notice and followed her around like a puppy.”

“Poor him, how could the prince be used like this?”

“Doesn’t that mean that the downfall of the werebeasts is not far away?”

Mina pursed her lips, and West shouted.

“Stop it! Mina did nothing wrong! I’m not stupid!”

But the people’s words didn’t stop.

“As expected, a twin doesn’t mean they are similar. Look, he doesn’t admit to his mistakes. He’s an idiot who entered Elysiano Class thanks to his brother. He has tarnished Elysiano’s honor.”

“Poor East, to have a brother like that…”

A blue aura flashed from West’s body. He had bright yellow eyes, and rough breathing.

And…….

“Ahhz!”

“He transformed!!”

Just like East did at the party the other day, West turned into a giant wolf.

I grabbed Emeline’s wrist and ran away quickly.

Mina shouted his name from behind.

I rushed to the forest where I had planned to meet with Henry and Isaac in advance.

They asked me.

“What’s the situation?”

“He transformed.”

“Your purpose has been fulfilled.”

Then Emelinw opened her mouth and asked.

“W-what. Did you create this situation so that he can transform?”

“That’s what I was aiming for, but all I did was tell Henry’s friend to say ‘It’s really suspicious.'”

“Then what the hell is that?”

“It’s an explosion of people’s jealousy.”

“What……?”

“A child of fate who appeared out of nowhere is said to have a divine power stronger than the Pope, and entered the school without qualifications. They’ve been hiding it until now, but when they have the chance, their jealousy exploded. But in this situation, West defends Mina, who has become a public enemy. Then what will happen?”

“West will be the enemy.”

“Yep.”

West is a beast like East. They can’t control emotions. Then Emeline asked,

“What’s the point of making West a prisoner as well? Don’t tell me you…….”

“We need to give East and West a place to talk. If the imprisoned East can’t go, then we should make West go there, right?”

Worst case scenario is when East gets expelled, West will be the same.

Then both supporters will shut their mouths. Why? Because they are expelled for the same reason.

‘Then how much would their parents appreciate me?’

In this way, I obtained a golden connection.

“You are a really cunning kid.”

Emeline shook her head, and I laughed.

“Thanks for the compliment.”
