Capítulo 127: Donquixote family
An island in the North Sea that is not a member of the World Government.
"Hey, you guys go over there and take a look."
"You guys go to the other end of the street."
"Today, we must catch those two guys, we absolutely can't let them escape! Today, we must teach those two scoundrels a lesson!"
A group of adults wielding sticks searched relentlessly in an alleyway, cursing loudly from time to time.
Meanwhile, in the foul-smelling sewer, two children who looked to be only eight or nine years old were tightly curled up. The younger child trembled incessantly, tears mixing with the filth of the sewer.
The older child, wearing sunglasses, held the younger one close, covering his mouth with his hand to stifle any cries that might attract the attention of the people outside.
Carefully peering through the cracks in the sewer, he observed the movements of the people outside.
"Hey, did you find them?"
The voice from above made both children tense up. The younger child, with hair covering his eyes, trembled even more violently, while the older child with sunglasses showed signs of nervousness, gripping the makeshift spike made from a steel rod tightly in his hand.
"We couldn't find them. I don't know where those two brats could have run off to. We searched every trash can, and they were nowhere to be found. Are you sure those two bastards even came into this alley?"
Several people who had been blocking the other end of the alley approached, looking displeased.
"If we can't find them, forget it. This town isn't that big anyway. We'll teach them a lesson next time we run into those two brats!"
"Heh heh heh, I never thought we'd see this day. Those high and mighty figures are no different from pigs and dogs after all."
"To be honest, we can only take advantage of them with our fists. Those who went to the mansion first got a lot of wealth."
"Tsk tsk, that woman wasn't bad-looking, but unfortunately, she's sick. If you're not afraid of death, you could try your luck. It's quite thrilling to trample on those once high and mighty figures."
"Why don't you go try it then!"
In the sewer, amidst the filth and stench, the boy with sunglasses clenched the makeshift weapon in his hand, his veins bulging on his forehead.
"Rosinante, stop crying. Get up quickly; Mom is waiting for us to bring food back."
The boy with sunglasses wiped away Rosinante's tears and the filth from his face, then cautiously lifted the sewer lid, keeping a wary eye outside to ensure nobody was around before emerging from the sewer.
In the southeastern corner of the island, among piles of trash, two children made their way toward a house constructed from wooden boards and various discarded items.
As soon as they saw the house, the younger Rosinante rushed toward it, while the boy with sunglasses first stripped off his wet, foul-smelling clothes, then approached a makeshift basin made from discarded bottles nearby. He scooped up seawater and poured it over his head.
Cough cough~
Hearing the intense coughing from inside the house, the boy with sunglasses, now bare-chested, patted his face to put on a smile before cautiously entering the house.
"Doffy, you're back."
As he entered, a tall, thin man with golden hair and two beard streaks greeted him with a smile.
However, Doffy didn't pay attention to the man but looked toward the only bed in the room, where a woman sat looking haggard.
"Cough... Doffy, I'm sorry."
The woman coughed while gently stroking Rosinante, who had buried his head in her lap.
"Mom, what are you talking about? Rosinante and I found a lot of good food today. Once you eat and get better, you'll recover soon!"
Hearing the woman's words, Doffy suddenly looked panicked, constantly pleading with her.
"Mom, eat."
Upon hearing this, Rosinante hurriedly reached into his embrace and took out a half-piece of bread, which already emitted a foul odor, and handed it to the woman.
"Mmm."
Watching the woman eat, both Doffy and Rosinante showed smiles. For them, being able to eat meant they wouldn't die. After all, only the living ate.
...
"I never thought things would escalate to this point. Not all humans are human after all; they are more like demons than demons. We just arrived, and the treasure we brought was all plundered by those guys. They even burned down our house..."
"My friend, I am so naive... Please, my friend, I will do anything, even if you let my child and wife return to Mary Geoise first. My wife is seriously ill; if she doesn't receive treatment soon, she will die! Please, if we stay here, our whole family will be killed!"
At night, Homing used his preserved Den Den Mushi to make a call to a friend known to Mary Geoise.
"Homing, this is the life you chose. Once something is abandoned, there's no turning back. When we advised you before, you told us you had always been human. You voluntarily abandoned your divine status and chose to become human.
Even when I suggested you keep your identity chips as Celestial Dragons, you didn't care; you even discarded all your family's identity chips. If you only abandoned your own identity chip, and your wife and child still had theirs, then I could have tried to petition the Highest Council to let your wife and child return to Mary Geoise.
But unfortunately, you didn't heed this advice. Since you chose to consort with those humans, you must face the consequences.
You, a mere human, shouldn't call us anymore."

As the Den Den Mushi was hung up, Homing's last hope was shattered.
What Homing didn't know was that this phone call planted the seeds of demons in Doffy's heart.
