Chapter 2: Found out
「Hey, hey. Do you know each other?」
「Yeah… They finally found us, what should I do?」
Tilting his head, Rovel, this 27 years old father nonchalantly retorted, gently stroking Ellen’s head with a smile.
Just now, having bought meat skewered on a stick from an open-air stall I passed by, stuffing my cheeks with father, when the two of us suddenly heard a stunned voice behind us, triggering us to look back.
「No, no way… Rovel-sama…?」
A distant thud was heard as some luggage fell along with that voice.
Subconsciously looking back having heard father’s name, the two men stood dumbfounded, with their mouths agape.
「Ugh, crap, let’s run away.」
Having said that, father lifted me up hastily, teleporting suddenly.
Teleporting from the street to a remote location, father and the man argued back and forth since not long ago…
「Why do you keep running away?」
「Becoming a celebrity unknowingly, isn’t it scary when you’re suddenly surrounded?」
「… Is that so, Mr. Hero.」
「Stop-!」
Covering my face with both hands, I flailed about embarrassingly while I chewed on my leftover meat.
Seeing me like that, father recollected that he had thrown his share away to carry me and escape this seemingly troublesome affair, causing him to start feeling gloomy.
Bothered by his gaze, I pretended to be cruel, presenting the rest of the meat to father, saying “Ahh”.
Looking at father who eats it happily, I think that he looks cute even when seeing it from the perspective of a child. Nevertheless, I am biased when judging my family.
Having spent a long time in the spirit world, we went out into the human world to gradually grow accustomed to it.
But father did not want to return to his parents’ home. It is a good place to return, but it will cause a great deal of trouble if he suddenly returns. The reason being the “hero story” in the beginning.
Even more so is the rare existence I am. If my existence was known, it is possible that people may want to abuse my power.
Because of these concerns, I wear a hood over my head and always travel together with father, occasionally sightseeing the human world with mother… No, that was training.
Father’s appearance is very good looking. His originally eye-catching blue eyes and chestnut hair, influenced by the spirit world… having contracted to mother, turned his eyes purple and his hair silver.
Mother has platinum hair. Eyes are red. Father’s changed to purple as a result of the mixing between his original blue and mother’s red.
My hair resembles father’s, being straight and silver. My eyes are should I say, aurora or mythical topaz? Well, I have purple based eyes that change color depending on the angle.
Are my eyes titanium irradiation technology? And while I don’t know the specifics for this, I can assuredly say that it seems similar to crystals of modern science technology, and I like it very much.
My face is similar to mother’s, with straight silver hair, with a little hair on both sides bouncing about inherited from father’s genes.
Saying that mother was so cute when father was little, mother and I were fawned over excessively by him every day.
「Those people were your acquaintances, right? Why did you run away?」
「Because I didn’t think he would recognize me since my hair and eye color has changed, I was surprised.」
「… Is the person who declared that he is running away and is running away saying that he is surprised?」
「That’s a promise I won’t say!」
「I have not made such promise in advance.」
As I have often said before, I can assuredly say that father is a very beautiful person. It is on the level that people will look back regardless of gender when walking in town, hence I think that crisis management is absolutely necessary as he stands out.
Incidentally, as for me, I am wearing a hood over my head, concealing my face. Having both my parents’ DNA is a scary thing. I was surprised the first time I used a mirror to look at my own face.
Father is prone to worrying, so I am always carried in his arms when constantly moving, in case I was abducted. Well, with my stature, my stride differs and it is inevitable.
Mother is also nearby just in case too, her appearance not seen because she is a spirit.
Although she is watching over father via the water mirror at the throne in the spirit world, mother is the Queen over spirits with a lot of spiritual power.
As the owner of the power governing the origins in this world, it is okay to show up in the human world for a little while, but when staying for a long duration will have a great influence on the surroundings. So, when father calls for mother at the moment, I will be able to be return immediately through the water mirror… Yeah, I am waiting.
I’m still small, so my influence is little, but thanks to inheriting the genes of my parents, I have a pale face, looking similar to humans.
When they look at my face, people are unsure whether my eyes are gems, pointing at my eyes with fear.
「I am chasing after you!」
「They’re really pursuing us.」
Something had happened in the past, and father shivered briefly, before picking me up and continued walking.
「Oh, I wish that I can erase this memory.」
Father said that heartlessly as he prepared himself.
Having forgotten that father is a hero, the return of the hero was immediately reported, causing a big uproar across the nation.
The news was quickly spread, and once he had been discovered was chased down, causing him to feel exhausted due to the situation.

Notes:
1. This chapter has a weird flow to the lines spoken so it can be quite confusing. By the way, it is just Ellen and her father speaking to each other. Only one line was spoken by the pursuing person.
2. Ellen refers to her parents as ‘Father’ and ‘Mother’.
3. Also, since the conversation does not annotate who was speaking, I will also not do so.
