BXBX NOVEL Chapter 512 - 13.10
[Pupa: Ding! Maximillien Eau Saumont\'s Fatemeter increases to 15%.]
"Damn it, why is he so stingy with that Fatemeter, seriously," Bai Yunyu complained as he strolled around the garden maze filled with spring flowers.
"Well, at least he still gives you some Fatemeter. You can\'t use Guilt-tripping no justu forever," Pupa materialized in front of Yunyu and said, "Remember, there is nothing forever except ForeverPupa."
"What are you talking about, Pupa?"
"Nothing."
Yunyu strolled around while kicking a few gravels along the way. He had planned to boost the stagnant 5% Fatemeter before by trading his most favored toy with a bouquet of daisies, hoping that his Big brother, Maximillien, would finally warm up to him.
But that guy still had the heart to absolutely tear down a four years old\'s heart and told him the bitter truth that he would be abandoned once he reached the age of eighteen.
What kind of guardian was that?
"He is a terrible person, a terrible man! Nobody should be hurting a kid like this! Especially when the kid is an orphan who has nothing but you on his side. Maximillien, you bastard!" Yunyu poured all his complaints out. Meanwhile, Pupa only watched while taking notes and sent them to Father Admin in the Headquarters.
"Seriously though, don\'t be too judgmental because of it. You seem to be so emotional when it comes to little kids\' stuff like this," Pupa commented. "I don\'t think you were this judgmental when you were with other main leads, or is it because you\'re just a kid?"
"Well, partly yes," Yunyu sighed. He sat at the edge of a fountain in the middle of the maze garden. "Pupa, I think it\'s just my bitter life as a kid that made me like this."
"Back then, my dad was abusive towards my mom and me. I still remembered when he beat me because I refused to go to kindergarten when I was five years old."
"I refused to go because I was bullied in the Kindergarten, but my dad didn\'t want to listen and beat me with a broom until my back is all bruised."
"My mom… I love my mom, but she is weak. She tried to protect me by shielding me and getting beat up by my dad. But most of the time, she\'s too weak to even get up from the bed. She has been weak since I was a kid."
"I keep asking my mom to leave my dad, but my mom keeps saying that my dad loves us…."
Yunyu wanted to tell more about his story, but his heart was hurting too much. He buried his childhood memory deep within his heart because he refused to reminisce about how traumatizing it was.
Pupa realized the volatile emotion in Yunyu right now, a sign that his childhood memory must\'ve been traumatizing.
"No need to tell me right now," Pupa said.
Yunyu smiled and nodded.
Pupa realized someone was coming, so it turned invisible again.
Little Jean was sitting alone, staring at his reflection in the fountain, thinking about making up with his Big brother, until he heard someone greet him.
"Good morning, fairy."
"Wa—"Little Jean was startled when someone suddenly appeared near him. He jolted and lost his balance, almost falling to the fountain.
But the boy who greeted him caught his wrist.
"Fairy, be careful…" the boy said.
Little Jean turned his head, and he saw a boy older than him, probably around seven years old. He had long silver hair, which he tied with a sky blue ribbon.
He had a charming smile on his soft but handsome face, like a little angel that has graced the earth, minus the wing, of course.
Little Jean was dazed for a while until this angelic boy asked him again, "Fairy, are you okay?"
"U—Un… Jean is okay…."
The angel pulled him and sat him at the edge of the fountain. But this time, he held Little Jean\'s hand, so Little Jean wouldn\'t slip and fall.
The angel stared at Little Jean with his crystal clear, blue eyes. Little Jean was hypnotized by the clarity and shine on the angel boy\'s eyes as if he was staring at a pair of sky blue sapphire stones.
"Be careful next time," the little angel said. He was still staring at Little Jean for a while, which made Little Jean embarrassed.
"U—Um… Angel, please don\'t stare at Jean so much. Jean is ugly…."
"Ugly?" The little angel was surprised by Jean\'s remark on himself. "But I\'ve been staring at your for a while because you\'re like a beautiful fairy."
"F—Fairy?!"
"Yes," the little angel smiled and caressed Little Jean\'s hair, "When I see you sitting here, I thought you\'re a flower fairy, resting at the edge of the pond."
"Wu… Jean is not a flower fairy. Jean is Jean! Angel is wrong!" Little Jean pouted as a sign of protest.
The little angel giggled, "And I\'m not an angel either. My name is Raphael, Raphael De Argent."
[Ah! Pupa, this guy is the second master of the world, right?]
[Pupa: Yes, he is Raphael De Argent, seven years old, the Second Prince of Argent Royal Family. He is blessed with light energy, so he will be a Saint in the future, similar to Saint Michael in the first world.]
[Man, when I saw Michael for the first time, I thought that he fits more as a villain than a saint. But when I saw Raphael, now I believe him. Just look at him. He is literally like an angel!]
"Um… Raphael… Raphael… Raphael…" Little Jean tried to put that name in his head so he didn\'t forget it.
Raphael chuckled, "Why are you here, Fairy? Where is the rest of the fairies? Are you stranded?"
[Pupa, how much is this kid\'s Fatemeter. He looks so friendly to me, unlike my bastard adopted big brother Maximillitrash!]
[Pupa:… his Fatemeter is 10%.]
[Wha—]
[Pupa: He is friendly to everyone but also cautious. He is the next Saint, so he had to show that fake smile in front of everyone. Actually, you\'re quite lucky because this kid has either zero or minus Fatemeter to everyone except his late mother.]
[Let me guess because he thinks no human can be trusted, right? Because he has innate Saint blood, that means he can see someone\'s sin.]
[Pupa: Wow, you\'re surprisingly accurate. Yes, he can see sins, just like Saint Michael. But it\'s not well developed yet, so he can see major, nasty sins of some people. But he cannot see minor sins. Not yet. He will later, though.]
[I feel like I\'ve returned to see Saint Michael again. After so long…]
Yunyu thought that he and Saint Michael had a rough start and even rougher end. He was the first one for Yunyu when Yunyu was still an amateur, unable to clearly think of a way to solve Michael\'s problem. They didn\'t even have one single good memory.
Thus, after meeting Raphael De Argent, he thought he could compensate for all the wrongdoings he had with Saint Michael to Raphael instead.
Raphael stared at the dazed flower fairy, then he smiled, "Fairy, Do you want to get engaged with me?"
