Holding Victoria’s hand, we wandered through the city and eventually found a large restaurant. We sat in a relatively secluded spot, and after feeding her some meat and sweets, she seemed to calm down a bit and gather her strength.

“What will happen to my dad...?”

“At least, he's a good father. He might have weakened due to the pressure from the company, and though he did lose his reason a few times, at least he didn’t cross the line or take extreme actions to succeed.”

He hadn’t returned home for a week, was under constant pressure from his performance, and had been fired as soon as he came home for a nap.

I understood.

Mmm.

Unlike the greasy, sweet cake I had eaten earlier, here they served a neat cake. It had fruit and fresh cream, and the portion was just right, making it quite delicious.

Things like this are tasty.

“Awhile ago, you said something only you two would know.”

With the sugar rushing to her head, it seemed like Victoria could finally think straight as she stared at me and spoke.

“Is it true that Dad could have succeeded if he had crossed the line? What exactly does that mean?”

It was an implicit question: “Don’t just talk about things only you know. Explain it properly.”

“There were at least two possibilities at that moment.”@@novelbin@@

So, I decided to explain both possibilities to her.

“Two?”

“One. Putting your abilities to the test. Special abilities are great for research, especially if they’re powerful. While doing so, I could also sell them off myself.”
