"...Why do you kill your parents..."

When he said this, tears clearly overflowed in Pallas' eyes, and choking began to appear in his voice.

"Palas... is a bad boy, because I was born with terrible power, and I accidentally killed my parents..."

(In other words, did this child accidentally kill his parents without being able to control his magic? But generally speaking, the minimum age for a magic power out of control must be about 10 years old, and this child is only about 7 years old, which means... is this child's potential so great?)

In order to test Pallas' potential, Melo pressed his hand on the child's forehead to sense the magic power in Pallas's body.

(What a powerful potential magic! If this child can get proper guidance, he will be able to become a powerful man at the level of evil star!)

"Sister Meiluo? What are you doing?"

"Ah, nothing... It's just Pallas, your strength is so strong, why not deal with those who bully you? Although I know they are the ones who adopt you, so you have adopted you, so you are unwilling to do it, but you have been patient for a long time? If this continues, you will be beaten to death."

"But... I felt a lot of pain just by being beaten by them, so if I kill them... they will definitely hurt even more."

This was beyond Melo's expectations. She did not expect that Pallas had such a side in her heart. However, it was Pallas's own business, and Malla could not interfere too much. It was just that those men took advantage of this opportunity to keep attacking Pallas. She was also a girl, but she couldn't swallow her breath no matter how much she said.

"Palas, I already have a general understanding, but if you keep doing this, you will die. You have great potential. As long as you can practice with me, I promise you can become as strong as you can, and you can control your magic power and won't kill others unintentionally."

"But...what if I accidentally kill someone? I'm so scared..."

"Palas, although what I said next may be a little earlier, you may not be able to understand it. But... Only after you become stronger can you be qualified to judge whether what you are doing is correct or wrong, and whether you have the right to decide the life and death of others. Forget it, you probably won't understand these words."

“…?”

As Melo guessed, Palas tilted his head with an expression of incomprehension.

"I have another question. Why don't you even cry when you were beaten so badly by them? And just now I found out that there was even a smile on your face."

"...This is strange to say. But... it was not the case at the beginning. When I was adopted by them, if they bullied me, I would be angry or crying. But the more I got angry, the more I cried, they would become more arrogant, become more irritable, and beat me harder. But on the contrary, if I held back and smiled, they would feel boring and just need to be injured to the lowest extent. Even if I hurt or angry, just smile..."

"So that's it. Because you keep pretending to be this smile, you become alive no matter what terrible things or terrifying things you encounter."

"There's no way... because I killed my parents...so..."

"No, you were wrong. It has nothing to do with killing your parents. The wrong thing is that you are now considered "weak". You have always felt guilty because you killed your parents and are no longer willing to use your magic. As a result, they think you are a "weak". In today's world, only the strong are justice and the right ones."

"Sister Meilo."

"I have come here like this, so I tell you that this world... is a world where the strong prey on the weak. Only the strong can survive, and the weak can die! No matter how you use a smile to escape, you will never be able to escape the real world today. Okay, I will leave first. If you get beaten again in the future, come to me. I will come to visit you in this room every night."

After saying this, Melo opened the door and left. Pallas ran to the door and opened the door. As a result, Melo could no longer be seen.

Pallas returned to her original room absent-mindedly, and then sat on the dilapidated floor of the room. She held her knees with her hands, and at the same time... recalling what Melo said to her just now, especially what Melo said in the end, which made her very touched.

(This world... is a world where the strong prey on the weak. Only the strong can survive, and the weak can only die! No matter how you use a smile to escape, you will never be able to escape the current real world.)

At this time, Meiluo did not actually go far. She is still staying in this dilapidated house, but relying on her strength, there is no need to worry about anyone who can discover her existence.

"Will this child named Palas stand up and become a strong man, or will he stop here and be stepped on by someone?"

In the next few days, Melo was still observing Pallas' every move, but... in the end, no matter whether Pallas did something wrong or not, he would be beaten violently in the end, and the gold coins left to her that Melo had been stolen the next day.

The people beat Pallas violently again the next day and kept asking where Pallas got so much money, but Pallas never told Melo about it.

That night, Melo followed the agreement and came to the room where Pallas was. She was extremely sad when she saw the scars on Pallas' body, and immediately used the healing magic for Pallas.

Melo's healing magic is naturally very powerful. The scars on Pallas' body were healed in an instant. After healing Pallas's injury, Melo took out some food from his space bracelet and handed it to Pallas.

“…Sister Meiluo, is this?”

"I'm going to give it to you, don't be polite to me, eat it."

Melo brought some honey snacks to Pallas. Seeing these high-end snacks that are impossible to eat at all, Pallas couldn't help swallowing, but he never dared to get them.

"I said, don't be polite to me, eat it, or do you want me to feed you?"

"I, I get it, I eat, I eat."

Palas took a piece of honey snack and took it down. Suddenly, the sweet honey and soft bread made her feel an unprecedented feeling of happiness.

“Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

“It’s delicious, right?”

"Yeah, yeah, hahhh... um..."

Palas had no time to talk to Melo, so he started to eat voraciously, but he choked so quickly.

"Um...wuwuwu..."

"Who told you to eat so quickly?"

Melo took out the water bag from the space bracelet and handed it to Pallas. This time, Pallas did not refuse, and directly took the water bag from Melo and drank the water. Finally, the dessert was finally swallowed.

"call……"

"I felt very uncomfortable just now, right? If you were a little later just now, you would die. It feels very painful to die, right?"

"die……"

"That's right, the feeling I felt before death. If I really wanted to die, that feeling would be even more painful than before."

"More...pain."

Pallas's face became a little ugly. When Melo saw that Pallas had almost finished eating, he stood up from the floor where he was originally sitting, and then threw a bag of gold coins to Pallas.

"If you can't get the gold coins, it's hard to explain to those people, right? Take it, there are about 20 gold coins in it."

Pallas did not rush to pick up the bag of Melo's coins, but instead asked Melo.

"Sister Meiluo, who are you? It's the third time you've given me so much money, so much money... don't you care?"

"I? It's okay to tell you my words. I am the seventh evil star under the command of the devil Lord Solomon."

"Evil, evil star!?"

Even people like Pallas knew the name of the evil star. She looked at Melo and gradually became fearful.

However, Melo walked up to Pallas and said, "You don't need to be so scared. Although I am a evil star, I will not kill people casually. I have principles for killing people. However, Pallas, you can say that I am my friend, and I will never kill my friend."

"You said...you said..."

"Palas, I already treat you as my friend. Do you know how strong I am, right?"

"Uh-huh……"

Almost everyone knows the strength of the evil star warrior. Most people will have this reaction, and Melo can understand this.

"Palas, remember, I am your friend. Although I want to chat with you for a while, but... I heard someone coming over and I can't let them discover my existence for the time being, so I'll leave first, and I'll come to you tomorrow."

After saying that, Melo disappeared in front of Pallas using space magic, and Pallas was already dumbfounded at this time.

However, she quickly recovered and she lay on the floor and wanted to sleep.

(So ​​Sister Meiluo is a evil star, a evil star. I heard from my parents that everyone is a terrible and evil existence. So is Sister Meiluo a bad person? But... even so, she is really amazing.)

Pallas fell asleep after a while. After confirming that Pallas was asleep, Melo appeared again. She came to Pallas, gently covered her with a quilt on her body, and gently stroked Pallas' head.

At this time, Pallas's hand suddenly moved and grabbed Melo's hand.

(Oh, has she woken up?)

Melo originally thought Pallas had woken up, but it was not like that. Pallas just happened to hold his hand.

"Mother……"

It seems that Pallas should have dreamed of her mother in her sleep. Meilo sighed helplessly. On the last night, she also lent her hand to Pallas.
