Shut Up, Malevolent Dragon! I Don't Want to Have Any More Children With You-Chapter 17Vol 4. : Rewarding You with a Third Child

After drinking the **[Mint Tea]**, Leon didn’t immediately discard the “antidote” candy. Instead, he carefully stored it in a small box for safekeeping.

This was his backup plan.

The “Fate of All” event involving the **[Alchemy Room Disease]** had appeared so suddenly and suspiciously that Leon needed to be extra cautious.

He couldn’t be completely sure if his eldest sister had given him a genuine antidote, and he couldn’t afford to gamble on it either. So, he preemptively drank the **[Mint Tea]** he’d originally planned to save for the later stages of the game to remove the current negative effects of the disease.

If it turned out his sister was indeed trustworthy, he’d have a safe antidote he could use later.

All in all, this was a cautious move on Leon’s part.

Of course, he owed this clever idea to Rosvisser.

If she hadn’t given him the **[Mint Tea]**, Leon would likely still be agonizing over whether or not to take the antidote.

After a brief rest, Leon left his room again.

He went to the communal kitchen, retrieved the Black Sacred Stone he had hidden beneath the water tank, and then headed to the main hall on the first floor. After glancing around to ensure no one was around, Leon hid the Black Sacred Stone in a suit of guard armor near the entrance of the conference room.

This was something he had noted during the meeting that morning. The main hall on the first floor only had the conference room as a feature; there were no other task or fate-triggering scenes here. So, unlike the communal kitchen, this place was deserted outside meeting times, making it a relatively safe hiding spot.

After securing the Black Sacred Stone, Leon returned upstairs.

Coincidentally, he ran into his daughters from the [Friends Group].

Moon and Aurora, hand in hand, spotted Leon from the end of the hallway.

“Daddy!”

Moon’s sweet voice called out as she tugged Aurora along, running over to him.

Leon squatted down and asked with a smile, “What’s up? Doing a task?”

“Mhm! But it’s a three-person task, so we wanted to ask Daddy to join us,” Moon explained.

Leon was more than happy to do a task with his daughters, but he asked casually, “Why not ask your big sister to come along?”

At this, Moon’s face instantly cooled.

Leon was surprised, unsure of how he’d upset his little girl.

He looked to Aurora.

Thankfully, the pink-haired one had figured it out already.

She leaned close to Leon’s ear and whispered, “After the **[Seven-Day Lock of Love]** wore off, second sister was forced to separate from big sister. Then, big sister went off with Helena to do a bunch of two-person tasks, so second sister got... like this.”

“Hmph, what’s so special about that? Aurora and I can do tasks too, and we’re way faster than Helena!” Moon grumbled.

Leon scratched his head.

Ah, sister complexes sure are hard to handle... he sighed inwardly.

Leon felt a bit guilty about Moon’s attachment to her big sister. If he had been able to stay with his daughters since they were born, maybe Moon would have grown a bit more independent.

Well, Leon didn’t intend to make his precious daughter change who she was. Whether she was a sister complex or a little sister complex, what mattered most was that the whole family could be together.

Leon patted Moon’s head and said, “Then let’s see if we can find another **[Seven-Day Lock of Love]** card so you can play with your sister again.”

Moon’s eyes sparkled with hope. “Really, Daddy? Are there more **[Seven-Day Locks of Love]** in the castle?”

Leon nodded. “Yep. Some item cards are duplicates. Just like how Mom and I were locked together earlier, and you found one to use with your sister, right?”

Moon blinked, tilting her head in adorable confusion. “Daddy, how did you know I used the **[Seven-Day Lock]** on my sister?”

The whole world knows, sweetheart! Your little face is incapable of hiding any secrets!

“Alright, second sister, it doesn’t matter how Daddy knows. What matters is that since there are more **[Seven-Day Locks of Love]** in the castle, you have a chance to bind with big sister again!” Aurora said enthusiastically.

“Great! This time I’ll find three... no, five—no! Ten! I’ll find ten **[Seven-Day Locks of Love]** so I can bind with big sister the entire game!” Moon declared.

Leon chuckled wryly. His second daughter was only obsessive about two things: eating the offerings her father brought her and staying close to her big sister.

Leon stood up, holding each daughter’s hand on either side, and accompanied them to complete the three-person task.

The task wasn’t difficult, and with their father’s help, they completed it with ease.

Upon completion, they received a clue card: **[“That thing is cursed! It must be destroyed... it must be destroyed!”]**

Leon furrowed his brows as he read the text on the clue card.

“It sounds like someone’s words.”

Aurora rubbed her chin, her little brain working quickly. “If we apply it to this game, this could represent a player’s main task. Their objective might be to destroy ‘that thing.’”

Moon looked back and forth between her dad and little sister, her mind churning for once.

“Then this ‘thing’ must be the Black Sacred Stone, right?”

“Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking too,” Leon murmured thoughtfully. “But who could have said this?”

Earlier, when he was bound to Rosvisser, Leon had found a clue card stating there were at least two lone wolves in this game.

Since Leon himself was a lone wolf, these words were likely spoken by the other lone wolf.

His main task was to hide the Black Sacred Stone until the game ended. If the other lone wolf’s objective was to destroy the Black Sacred Stone, then the situation was clear—

The two lone wolves were destined for a showdown.

As the three of them pondered this, Aurora’s Memory Stone suddenly activated with a voice message:

**“[Friend B], you have been ‘killed’; [Friend B], you have been ‘killed.’”**

Killed?!

A brief notification left them all stunned.

“What happened? Aurora, how did you get killed out of nowhere?” Leon asked, baffled.

“I... I don’t know, Daddy!” Aurora stammered, equally shocked.

She instinctively patted herself down, checking if she had any strange items on her.

But nothing seemed amiss.

She glanced back toward the room where they had just completed the task, and still, there was nothing unusual.

Just like that... she was killed!

Fear quickly spread among them.

Even Leon was unnerved by this mysterious attack method.

How Leon imagined the attack would be:

The killer silently sneaks up, ending the target’s life in an instant.

How the actual attack happened:

The killer strikes from miles away, manipulating the situation from afar.

Aurora buried her fingers in her hair, her pink gemstone-like eyes brimming with frustration.

“Oh, Aurora, don’t be sad. Maybe there’s a revival card,” Leon tried to console her.

“Yeah, Aurora, I’ll stop looking for binding cards and help you find a revival card!” Moon added sincerely.

But Aurora shook her head.

“No, Daddy, second sister, I’m not sad. I just feel... it’s a shame I won’t get to see you all clashing anymore!”

Leon & Moon: ......

Aurora sighed in exasperation, “Why did it have to be me? I just wanted to watch everyone scheme against each other. What did I do wrong?”

Soon, a staff member arrived.

“[Friend B] Miss Aurora, please come with me. We’ll escort you to the Divine Observation Room, where you can view the entire game from a god’s-eye perspective.”

*Sparkle!!*

Aurora’s eyes lit up.

Watching the drama from a god’s-eye view was ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) way more entertaining than a first-person perspective!

Why didn’t they say so earlier? She would’ve just killed herself at the start if she’d known!

And so, the once-disappointed pink-haired girl happily followed the staff to the Divine Observation Room.

Leaving her father and sister standing in the aftermath, bewildered.

“Oh my god, Daddy! Here we are, scared stiff of some killer striking us from afar, and Aurora’s happily going off to watch the show!” Moon exclaimed, hands on her face in disbelief.

Leon covered his face. “In any case... let’s call an emergency meeting before that killer decides to take us out too.”

“Alright.”

**[Emergency Meeting]**: When a **[corpse]** is discovered, an emergency meeting can be called ahead of schedule.

Ten minutes later, all players except Aurora gathered in the conference room on the first floor.

Naturally, Rosvisser noticed her youngest daughter was missing right away.

“Where’s Aurora?”

“She got killed.”

Leon explained, “Moon and I called this emergency meeting because Aurora suddenly... got killed right next to us without any warning.”

Since Aurora’s death was the first “kill” since the game began over twenty hours ago, it drew everyone’s attention.

“Killed without warning?” Noa asked.

“Yes. We’d just completed a task together, chatted briefly, and then... Aurora was killed.”

Even though some time had passed, recalling that “distant killer” scene still made Leon uneasy.

“Did Aurora come into contact with anyone else before she was killed?”

Moon shook her head. “No, it was just

me and Aurora together the whole time. In the evening, we wanted to complete a task, but it required three people, so we asked Daddy to join us.”

“Leon was with you...”

This comment came from Claudia.

The elegant woman looked at Leon with her blue eyes. “Then, could it be Leon secretly killed Aurora?”

“I have a clue card that says there are at least two lone wolves in this game. Lone wolves likely have different tasks than the rest of us, right?”

“And since Moon and Aurora’s friends group is definitely on the good side, killing one of them could give the lone wolf an advantage.”

To the accusation from the “villainous mother-in-law,” Leon calmly replied:

This content is taken from freёnovelkiss.com.

“Senior, your logic has a flaw.”

“Killing off a good player would certainly give the lone wolf an advantage, but you’re assuming right off the bat that I’m the lone wolf.”

“And any conclusions based on that assumption are unreliable.”

“Unless... you have concrete evidence proving I’m the lone wolf?”

Claudia nodded slightly. “I can’t confirm you’re the lone wolf, but it’s true that Aurora was killed after completing a task with you.”

“I agree with Claudia,” added Isha.

“My brother-in-law is highly suspicious. This emergency meeting could be his self-inflicted move to create the illusion that the [wolf] can kill from afar. This way, if he kills again, we’ll keep suspecting a distant attack and won’t suspect him.”

“But if Daddy killed Aurora, why didn’t he take me out too?” Moon asked.

Finally, Helena spoke up to answer, “The game rules say only players with ‘kill-type item cards’ can kill others. Maybe Uncle Leon only had one kill item card?”

“That still doesn’t make sense. If I had only one kill card, I wouldn’t have used it immediately,” Leon argued. “If a wolf tried to kill me and I happened to have a kill card, I could counter-kill.”

“On the other hand, if I were really a wolf, I would wait until I had multiple kill cards before starting to kill. I wouldn’t pick them off one by one—that would give the good side time to react.”

Rosvisser looked at Leon. “Let’s not assume you’re the wolf. We want to hear your thoughts.”

Ah, leave it to his wife to give him some breathing room.

Leon gathered his thoughts and said, “First, my conclusion: I believe this wolf has the ability to kill from afar.”

“But there’s a catch. They can only kill one person at a time or within a certain period.”

“In other words, they have a cooldown before they can kill again.”

“If they didn’t, a long-range kill would be too powerful and impossible to counter.”

After hearing Leon’s reasoning, everyone murmured in low voices.

After a moment, Isha spoke up again.

“Your logic makes sense, brother-in-law, but it doesn’t clear you of suspicion.”

Seriously?

Why are my sister-in-law and “mother-in-law” both so adamant that it’s me? Leon thought, grumbling to himself.

If he couldn’t prove his innocence soon, he’d likely be voted out in this round.

Though his true role was indeed the lone wolf, he had no intention of taking the blame for the other lone wolf!

But proving one’s innocence is always a challenge.

Leon racked his brain, unsure how to prove he hadn’t killed Aurora.

It seemed like a dead end.

“I have a **[Detective]** card that can verify whether a player killed someone within the past six hours,” Rosvisser said.

Leon’s eyes lit up; it felt like a glimmer of hope.

In crucial moments, his wife was always there for him!

“Game rules forbid using item cards during meetings, so we can directly verify Leon’s actions once the meeting ends,” Rosvisser proposed. “If he didn’t kill anyone, he’s cleared; if he did, we can keep an eye on him and vote him out at the next meeting. How does that sound?”

Although Rosvisser’s reasoning was sound, her timely assistance warmed Leon’s heart.

After all, Rosvisser had just told him she would vote for him no matter what.

And here was a golden opportunity to eliminate him, yet she still used her **[Detective]** card to help him.

Such a great wife!

Time to reward her with a third child when we get home.
