章 70: Sixty Nine

Chapter 69

Seven suddenly realized the weight of his actions and his expression turned from defiance to sheer mortification.

"N-no, sister! I… I will never do—umph! Uwaaa!" The child's voice cracked, and tears streamed down his face. Atasha stood there, stunned, not knowing what to say when the boy suddenly burst out crying.

"Se-Seven, big sister just—" Atasha's words hung in the air, interrupted by the child's escalating wails.

'Oh god!' Atasha mentally slapped herself for her thoughtlessness.

"Seven won't eat big sister's babies. I was only going to scare Howly. Believe me, sister. Boohooo! Babies… Uncle Seven won't—hic— eat you. Uwaaa!" The boy's confession spilled out, anxiety etched across his face. He feared that the babies would hear his big sister's words and begin to despise him.

Indeed, Seven's intentions were far from malevolent. He won't eat Howly and he was telling the truth!
