Chapter 30: "Smile like painting"

Wake up the next day. Raina opened her eyes languidly, and realized that it was already noon.

The warm sunlight, gently pierced through the transparent windows of her room one by one.

Having a headache from sleeping too much. Raina felt the world around her start to spin.

For the past few days, her sleep schedule has started to become irregular.

At first she was worried about Linc's condition and kept watch over him day and night. It wasn't until Linc got out of bed that Raina heaved a sigh of relief.

"Um... My head hurts..."

Rubbing the back of her head. Raina whimpered a little in pain.

Get out of bed and see the crystal sunflowers sunbathing by the door of her bedroom window. Raina smiled gently.

A gust of fresh wind blew the crystal sunflowers slowly.

Go to the bathroom to get a glass of water. Raina pours everything into the plant pot, and looks out her bedroom window.

"Hm? What is the devil doing there?"

In front of the mansion, where a large tree stood firmly. Raina sees Devil holding paint brush, and keeps moving it on white canvas.

Raina doesn't know what the devil is painting. But seeing that today's devil is not wearing his mask. Make Raina immediately excited.

It's rare for a devil to take off that mask that sticks to his face.

If the mask had been removed, then his condition would have greatly improved.

"I'm going down!"

Wanted to run downstairs and greet Linc. Raina suddenly froze on the spot, and smelled the stench of her body.

"...Looks like I have to take a shower first."

Go to the bathroom to wash off the body odor on her body. Raina tied her long hair back, and immediately rushed out of her room quickly.

"Meow!"

"Ah, hello grumpy lady!"

Raina just called this white cat the same way Linc called her that. Although the naming was very bad, she felt that this name was fine.

"Nyaw~"

"Meow~!"

"nyaa~"

....

"Morning little kittens!"

Greet and wave goodbye to kittens. Raina took the sandals in front of the mansion door, and rushed out.

Linc: "!??"

Seeing that Raina hastily rushed over to him. The expression on Linc's face worsened, and he immediately held the canvas in front of his tightly.

"Do not come close!"

Stunned by Linc's scream. Raina stops running, and looks at him confusion.

"You! Zombies! Don't think I didn't know you could see through them. Make them go away!"

He looked around him very aggressively. Raina who felt she had no chance to see what the devil drew, lowered her head sadly.

"Don't make such a sad expression. You haven't moved the zombies behind me yet!"

"Tch."

Clicked her tongue in annoyance. Raina waved her hand to ward off the zombies.

Feeling that there are no more creatures that can peek at the paintings he made. Linc let go of the canvas in his arms, and glared at Raina.

"I'm still watching you."

Raina: "...."

Seeing Linc being so overprotective with the painting he made. This made Raina even more curious.

"Devil, what are you doing?"

"A painting."

"Could I see it?" Raina tilted her head cutely.

Linc closed his eyes even more sharply: "Call me dad."

The wind blows calmly.

Their hair swayed to the rhythmic waves of the wind, along with Raina's logic.

"Yes?" Raina is still confused.

"Call me dad." Linc explained it once again carefully, and very clearly.

"W-Why should I call you father!? You're crazy!" Raina's face turned red.

Seeing that Raina didn't seem to accept it at all. Linc clicked his tongue in disdain.

"If you want to see my painting today, then you should address me as father. Besides, haven't you already called me father three times? What's wrong with just adding one more."

"W-Wait, did you hear that??" Raina opened her eyes wide.

"To be more precise I heard, and calculated it very carefully." Say the devil.

Under the Godfather system notification. Every word "father" that Raina said, could not escape Linc's hearing at all.

Used gacha one more time last night. Linc got the vitality potion, and his body was fresh again although there was still some pain.

The vitality potion is very useful.

Linc wanted to get one more time if he could.

"W-What do you mean!? I won't call you dad!" Even though Raina's face was already bright red, she still refused to call Linc father.

Saw that Raina had already called himself "Father or dad" twice but there was no system notification. Linc surmised that there was a certain regulatory mechanism that had to be triggered.

"You really don't want to call me dad?"

"Will never!" Raina crossed her arms across her chest.

"Daddy?"

"Stop playing word games with me! It won't work!"

Seeing that Raina didn't want to call him dad anymore. Linc could only sigh helplessly.

"Here, have a seat."

He shifted his body to the side, and patted the long chair next to him. Linc ignored Raina, and went straight to the work he hadn't finished.

Opened her other eye, and saw that the devil once again focused directly on the painting he had made. Raina became a bit hesitant.

Kick the pebbles on the ground, and after that get more courage. Raina puffed out her chest proudly, and sat down next to linc politely.

"What are you—"

When Raina wanted to ask what the devil actually painted. The question immediately stuck in her neck.

On the white canvas that Linc painted. Bright yellow sun crystals filled the courtyard, and blue clouds brightened the sky.

Standing in the middle of her parents who were smiling widely, the figure of Raina who was wearing a white one piece dress, smiled very beautifully while hugging Jessi in her slender arms.

The faces of her parents, whom she knew very well, smiled broadly, as if proud of Raina's grown-up growth.

Look at this painting. Raina was stunned on the spot and she just stood still.

"Beautiful isn't it?"

Raina raised her head.

She saw the devil's face, smiling very gently at him in the warm sunlight.

"They may have gone. But they will always be in our hearts."

Linc wiped away the pool of tears that had accumulated in Raina's eyes.

"If you want to cry, cry with a smile. It doesn't matter if it's ugly or beautiful. They must be proud of you."

She felt Linc's rough hand touch her face. Raina's face turned red, and she looked down at her feet.

"Meow~"

She felt, Jessi was also gently stroking her leg. It was as if there was no need to worry about him anymore.

Raina tries to hold back her tears from falling.

"It's ok...."

Raina felt a warm hand, caressed her head gently.

"I understand."

Raina smiled, and closed her eyes comfortably.

Happy tears fell from her pretty face. She really didn't care about the expression on her face anymore.

"Thank you dad."

Raina smiled brightly, just like the one on the canvas.

Linc also smiled widely.

"Call me dad one more time."

Heard this. Raina didn't really fight him anymore either, and she smiled pretty.

"I refuse."

Sorry error.

"W-Why?!" Linc was also instantly flustered on the spot.

Wasn't the atmosphere good just now? Why did she refuse to call him dad? Linc doesn't understand!

"My favorite thing is to say no to you! Besides, you're not my father either! Bleh!" Raina stuck out her tongue mischievously.

Linc suddenly fell silent on the spot.

All sorts of curses, and filthy words from all sorts of countries, flashed through his brain one after another.

"You bitch." Linc said it with a vengeful rage.

"Hehehe..."

Raina smiles happily.

It's like a smile in a painting.
