บท 383: Punishment

"Why would you say goodbye to your human? Are you going somewhere?" Theodore's father asked in a monotone.

Theodore shot a quizzical glance at his father who was talking in riddles. He furrowed his brows and stuttered, "Y-You're not going to kill me?"

The almighty was silent for a while but Theodore could swear that he was deliberately doing that. And he could swear that instead of anger, he saw sadness in his father's ocean blue eyes.

"What parent kills their own child? Do you think of me as being so cruel?" His father asked while a hint of sadness lingered on his face.

But it quickly faded away and his ferocious expression overtook. "Well, I'm crueler than that."

"It's not your life that I am going to send to the afterlife today. It's of those who have over-lived." The almighty walked around Theodore and then stood while facing Adeline.
