Rise of the Rejected Deity from Chaos-Chapter 167 - 166: Seiya’s Adoption Plans

Within the confines of their house, Seiya sat on a couch, and in front of him stood a white board—Kaeliyus standing beside it. Written in black with a marker, the topic read: Humanity.

Seiya was called out after breakfast by Kaeliyus who had him sit on the couch, saying he needed to be taught about the rights and wrongs of life—morality and humanity. Kaeliyus even requested Seiya to listen without his blindfolds so his teachings get registered and not forgotten.

Even though Seiya saw no meaning behind this, he agreed to listen because he knows Kaeliyus knows more than he does—for now.

"My Lord," Kaeliyus began. "Should you happen to be passing by a quiet alley, and came across two men grouping on a lady, what would you do?" He asked, gazing at Seiya who sat relaxed on the couch.

"Pass by," Seiya replied immediately. Kaeliyus closed his eyes, sighing softly.

"I meant, you happen to come across two men, ASSAULTING a lady, and you're the only there, what would you do?" Kaeliyus rephrased.

"I said I'd pass by," Seiya replied again, a bit irked having to repeat himself.

"Despite the men brutalizing the lady?"

"Yes, so?"

"Even though she clearly needs help?"

Seiya tilted his head, the reasoning behind Kaeliyus' questions eluding him. "Should help simply be given because it's desired?"

Kaeliyus buried his face in his palm, exhaling aloud. "What have I gotten myself into?" He muttered under his breath, silently cursing Hayne.

"Is it not I, the demon?" He sighed once more, lazily resting his head against the board. But he snapped up the next second when a thought struck him.

Or is it because his heart is separated from him? Kaeliyus pondered, his gaze shifting to Ibyu who was asleep on a different couch. But he immediately cast aside that thought, knowing his young Lord would remain the same with his heart in or outside of him.

"My Lord," Kaeliyus called softly, like an adult trying to pacify a child. "You shouldn't just pass by, you should find a solution to the situation," he said.

"I see," Seiya replied, his tone earnest like one truly learning—warming up Kaeliyus' expression.

"Then I'd just kill them," he blurted flatly, sinking Kaeliyus' spirit back into the ground.

"May I ask why you think that is a befitting solution to the situation?"

"There's no big reason or logic behind it. Death is simply the solution to every problem. It brings peace," Seiya replied, voice stern. "The girl and the two men would have peace, and the fight would end. It's as simple as that."

"Ha…..ha….ha," Kaeliyus chuckled, his eyes drained of life. "Will this ever be possible?" He whispered. "Maybe in a million years," he muttered.

"Alright, I've decided!" He straightened up from his low spirit position, brightening up like he found a better way out. Kaeliyus took the wiper, and wiped the topic off the board.

"Rather than humanity, let's teach you the right solutions to problems!" He announced with glee, a stark contrast to Seiya's blank face.

"But we'll leave that for another day. As there are more pressing matters to deal with."

With a smooth glide, Kaeliyus got the board out of the way, sitting on the couch opposite Seiya so as to be face to face with him.

"As you're well aware my Lord, you have no means of providing your own needs without the aid of your friend, Hayne," he began. "Neither do you have a roof over your head except this one, yet again, provided by your friend. And nor do you have any source of income except what your friend has left you with."

"That is true," Seiya remarked, eyes unmoving from Kaeliyus.

"It isn't ideal to keep leaving off your friend as it'll keep you indebted toward him. And when you're indebted to people, humans specifically, they tend to have you return the favor with something bigger," he said.

"Is that so?"

"Yes."

"And you don't have an ID either because you have no family to be registered under," Kaeliyus continued. "However, there are solutions to all these, my Lord. And as you know, 'death' cannot solve these at all," he said.

"That is why my Lord, I dare say you're wrong. Death isn't the solution to all problems," Kaeliyus pointed out, looking straight at Seiya to know if he was getting through to him.

Seiya, however, remained blank and unreadable.

"In some way, it still is though," Seiya said, staring blankly at Kaeliyus. Kaeliyus blinked with disbelief, questioning his reasoning.

"I mean, I just have to kill myself and there, a peaceful solution that ends the problem without stress," he blurted blatantly.

Kaeliyus' eyes shut in quiet resignation, fed up with his young Lord.

"Well, yeah, I guess," Kaeliyus replied, unwilling to discuss his logic any further.

"However, my Lord, that just ended the problem, not solve it. And of you die, there will be a lot that is left undone, so please, I beg you never to consider that option," Kaeliyus bowed in plea.

He held himself back from telling his Lord that his way of solving problems was actually running away from it. For he didn't want to prolong such matter that only gave him a headache.

"I wasn't planning to," Seiya replied calmly, prompting Kaeliyus to raise his head. "I have yet to kill that man, after all," he said.

"And the list of people who made me this way, I haven't handled any at all. There's also that girl, the annoying one who left with the others," he listed casually. " And according to Hayne, there are a lot more. So, I can't die yet when I have a lot to kill."

You also have a destiny to fulfill! Kaeliyus chimed to himself, a big smile plastered on his face to Seiya.

"Exactly my Lord. There are too many to be hunted to die so early."

"So, regarding these things, how do I earn?" Seiya asked, taking Kaeliyus aback. He hadn't expected his Lord to be a person that would humble himself to ask this—trying to earn by himself.

"I know it's by working, I'm just asking what kind of work would be fit for me," he clarified.

"Oh my Lord," Kaeliyus breathed softly, his eyes glistening with tears of pity and joy. "You needn't stress yourself over that as this lowly servant of yours has a solution ready," he sniffled dramatically like he had cried a river.

"More than that, the most pressing issue is regarding your ID card. You're here to live your life and without one, you cannot start," Kaeliyus said, shifting into sternness. "And you can't possibly use the fake one like that elite of yours cause we don't want the police and association on our tail."

"Then, what's the solution?" Seiya asked.

A wide sly grin stretched across Kaeliyus' face, his expression darkening with devilish expression. "Adoption, my Lord," he blurted.

His response surprised Seiya, making him draw his brows together in a wrinkle. "You plan to have me adopted?" He asked with disbelief.

"Precisely, my Lord. And I already have someone in mind," he grinned wider.
