“There was some magic involved…”
“Didn’t you have no money?”
“Magic took care of—that’s a trade secret, sir!”
Gosh, I almost told him about the counterfeit coins! I tried to look away from Claude’s accusing look.
“I figured. I was worried you were starving yourself to death somewhere out there.”
I looked up at him blankly as his low voice crawled up my ear.
We looked at each other for a moment without a word.
Claude was even more devastated than when I met him at the rose garden and when I saw him in his bedroom the other day.

Oh, now he realizes that I’ve been treated like crap. It was fitting for him—for his personality anyway—to still be standing after throwing up that much blood.
I stared at him in silence and began to talk.
“But you said you weren’t my dad.”
“No. I’m not.”
My questions were followed by stubborn answers.
“But why do you care so much?”
I felt his emotions shaking through his eyes and whispered him one more question.
“Why do you act like you’re my dad?”
He asked me as if he was worried about me and it didn’t seem like he waited for me to kill me anymore.

This time, a short silence followed instead of the usual stubborn answer.
“I don’t know either.”
I watched Claude’s facial expression gradually change from a mad, teeth-grinding look to calm and subtle.
“But when you call me like that, it feels weird.”
“…….”
“…”
“Just watching you make that face makes me feel like that.”
I didn’t understand what he meant by my face but his look made me feel strange. He looked like he swallowed a bag of tacks.
“I have absolutely no idea why I feel like this whenever I see you.”

Claude’s fists clenched harder.
“I still do not remember who you are, and therefore cannot become the one you want me to.”
His words were saddening, but…
“Maybe I will never know.”
But I thought to myself that Claude may be going through the same fear as I was in this very situation.
“However…”
Claude spat out an ultimatum.
“I cannot allow you to leave.”
His eyes filled with chill once more.

“You shall be where I can see you and reach out to you whenever I desire.”
The atmosphere surrounding Claude suddenly froze as if it reminded him of the two times I fled him. His words struck my eardrums like darts thrown at a dartboard.
“If you disappear again without my knowledge ever again, I will kill you.”
But I wasn’t afraid of him anymore.
“Including the people who helped you escape and even those whose clothes slightly touched that of yours.
I really didn’t care even if he killed others along with me.
What…
Cast a spell that only penalizes the caster when he threatens to kill me, actually stop when I tell him to not come any closer…
What a hypocrite. And he’s been saying nothing other than nonsense…

“Come on. Really?”
I was swept away in the uncontainable sentiment and let out a mutter.
“Seriously…”
What the… Do you even know what you’re saying?
“What do you want?”
It could be that I was getting something wrong.
But to me, Claude’s words sounded like ‘I could be next to him’ and that I ‘should stay right here.’
“Why do you tell me that…?”
Something swelled up inside me and I let out a shaky voice. I could feel a lump in my throat for some reason.

Claude’s facial expression promptly changed.
He was letting out faint sounds then spat out a rough, scraping voice.
“I’m going nuts.”
His lips kept moving not knowing what to but he only stood in silence.
After some time Claude finally spoke.
“Don’t cry.”
But it was too late.
“…waa…”
I began to cry, looking at Claude through my tears.

“No… sob. Bad dad…”
My deepest sorrows started to finally burst out.
