"I engaged in a confrontation with the founder of Apex Association, but unfortunately, I was defeated."
"Mother, what's the nature of the association in order to remember and comprehend the actions they have taken towards you. I am determined to apprehend them for their wrongdoings."
"Rin, their purpose revolves around the elimination of sinners."
Suddenly, I am feeling unwell.
The association appears to exhibit predatory behavior.
Indeed, while it is true that sinners bring about destruction, is there no alternative to their termination?
Instead of elimination, there exists a more appropriate approach where they can be incarcerated and given the opportunity to reform.
...Life carries significant value, leading us to encounter numerous diverse experiences, and we will gain substantial knowledge on various subjects, thereby fostering personal growth.
Our journey will encompass both pleasant and challenging moments, shaping us into who we become, while preserving the memories of our humble beginnings.
Fortunately, my mother possesses immortality.
"Rin," suddenly, my father called out my name in a subdued manner, while thinking.
"My friend and his sister from the south visited us last month, and we discussed the matter of their older sister, who happens to be the Founder of the Apex Association."
"......." I am curious about the reason for bringing up another topic of conversation.
"...Father, I will disband their association to prevent their operations, as well as apprehend their founder."
Fortunately, my mother is in good health.
"Her name is Azalea rin Ashan Arius-Lucifer."
...She has the same name as me?
"Mother, I will also apprehend her."
"You cannot do that because she is your mother," my mother's tone was serious.
We were silent for a moment.
Both my partner and I were astonished, leaving me unable to speak.
"Mother, what is happening?" Asen asked in a bewildered state.
Our parents explained everything to us, and I listened attentively.
The words itself has so much variety. .........That is truly unexpected.
"That is primarily because of the [transfer] of one of the forbidden, which resulted in you inheriting all three of our bloodlines and gaining the ability to transform."
I have come to a realization. Why are my parents fighting with each other? It is disheartening to see them in conflict, especially since they are both my parents!
I am curious about the reason behind their disputes.
"Rin, be caution about your three bloodline, don't overdo it."
My older sister made a cryptic statement, she pointed towards me with our parents and sibling, all of whom had a somber expression on their faces.
I am perplexed about the meaning behind her words.
"S────" I try to speak, but a sudden feeling of illness overwhelms me, causing me to lose my voice momentarily.
In that moment, my parents comfortingly embrace me.
Despite my desire to understand my sister's statement, I find it difficult to focus due to the chaotic state of my current situation.
The unexpected revelation is something I find difficult to bear.
It seems that one of my parents made a sacrifice for the sake of my 'family's harmony'.
This revelation leaves me feeling deeply troubled about myself.
I long for a complete family, but what about the person who cared for me initially?
....She is now alone, I can sense the tremendous effort she put into raising me and it fills me with worry.
I am uncertain about your current whereabouts, but I hope you are doing well. We clearly have differing perspectives, and I have no further desires or requests. Whomever you may become, I will accept and never harbor any hatred towards you, you are perfect just as you are.
I yearn to meet you and formally introduce myself. Mom... I eagerly await the moment I can embrace you tightly.
"Rin," while thinking my partner called me, maintaining a composed expression, "Come with me."
As our parents and my siblings engaged in compassionate conversation.
...She was my source of comfort.
As I quickened my pace, she held our child tightly as we walked side by side.
"Rin, I desire to go onto the terrace with you."
...In light of the fact that I was a demon, I couldn't help but wonder what you truly thought of me.
As we approached the terrace, I stole a glance at her.
...Will she ever abandon me?
The thought filled me with fear.
I couldn't fathom the idea of us not being destined for each other.
The sole reason I had reached this point was because of her.
I mentally drained, and we finally reached our destination.
"............."
I wondered anxiously about what was to come.
『The way you looked at me earlier was pitiful. Please gather yourself, Rin. I vow to never leave your side』
She communicated telepathically, mindful of our daughter hearing us. Relief washed over me. I was grateful that she could see through my innerself.
『Sena, we are faced with individual difficulties that demand our attention, and it is necessary to address them in order to gain clarity』
I said as I embraced her, and she reciprocated my embrace.
『Yes, regardless of the challenges we encounter, we always find ourselves returning to each other』
...Then, it is a bond of kindred spirits, a soulmate connection.
『...Thank you for providing reassurance』
We are mutually dependent on each other, and nothing can sever our bond.
"Mom?"
Our child, who had been quiet before, suddenly spoke, catching us by surprise.
"A-Ayla... are you alright? I-I apologize," I stuttered, expressing concern.
"Rin, please be more cautious next time."
We were anxious and ensured that she did not become trapped.
"....Yes."
"I am fine, mother," she reassured us, bringing a sense of relief.
"We are always by your side, supporting you."
We had initially assumed that she hadn't heard anything, and her curiosity led her to wonder where we were.
This explains why we consistently lift and carry her.
"Can I have one more hug? It was so warm," she joyfully exclaimed, her smile radiant.
While we were elated by her request, a sense of embarrassment swept over us as we glanced at each other.
We realized that our actions were driven by self-confidence, causing us to feel embarrassed.
