Chapter: 347

Theor was crouching on the floor, shaking his body.

An empty juice cup was rolling next to him.

Kaizen was startled and raised him.

“Theor!”

Theor looked up at Kaizen with blurred eyes.

The child’s white forehead was wet with cold sweat.

The focus from his blue eyes looking at Kaizen was gradually disappearing.

Astelle was walking briskly through the crowd.

She was on her way back from buying some snacks for Theor.

In one hand she held a cup of milk with honey and vanilla, and in the other she held a small paper bowl filled with buttered and toasted round cookies and candied pickles.

The surrounding area was full of people visiting the fair.

Every time she took a step, she was hit by a person.

‘I have to go back soon. He might be waiting.’

I left Theor with Kaizen, still, I was not relieved.

I get some snacks nearby and go back as soon as possible.

I didn’t buy a lot, but there were fruits that Theor loved, so it would be fine for a quick bite.

Since we came out after dinner, this should be enough.

It was when Astelle approached the corner of the square where the puppet show was while thinking like that.

“Astelle……!”

Kaizen suddenly appeared and faced Astelle with a pale face.

“Your Ma-”

Astelle, who was startled and unintentionally called him by his title, saw Theor held by Kaizen and stopped.

Theor had his eyes closed in Kaizen’s arms.

“Theor?”
