These are all words he once said to Raven when his self-esteem was at rock bottom.
It was unintentional and he was pushed to open the gate, so he felt sick in his stomach, wondering why he was acting like a criminal.
He is a child who has been watched over from the moment he was born. The guardian spirit, who was extremely biased towards Raven, put in a lot of effort to lift up the child who was mistreating himself. The current statement was also one of the words that came out during that process.
Raven's shaking eyes were colored with green light. The guardian spirit who had passed his sight to him gently lifted the corner of his mouth and smiled.
"[And asking for my help is not shameless; it means listening to my wishes. I put your well-being above all else. Abuse is not okay, but it's better than standing in a dangerous situation without calling.]"
"...."
"[Then go back. I will be protecting this guy.]"
You're going to close the gate, right?
He can't close the gate, and he has the burden of a child, so this might be for the best.
Tuk. The hand that lightly touches his back is truly gentle. Raven looked at him blankly for a moment.
...The voice of Death rang clearly in my head.
"Honestly, aren't you curious? Even though you have been together for such a long time, why hasn't the Guardian Spirit told you even a single name?"
"I'm sure you've wondered at least once why he's taking such care of you, what his identity is, and what his purpose is."
...He knows. Why is he so kind to him?
Not only the words but also the voice exudes extreme warmth and blind affection, but for some reason, he feels scared again.
Damn Death. Don't talk nonsense.
'...Of course, no matter how much I think about it, I'm not worth that much.'
As he pinchs the part that he had been ignoring, pretending not to notice, it couldn't help but come to mind. I quietly clenched my fist.
"[...Baby?]"
"No, it's nothing."
...When Death made a bet to find out the guardian spirit's name, the guardian spirit became angry.
Was that anger at the behavior that was trying to get him to find out who I was, or was it anger at the behavior that was messing with him?
'...Let's stop thinking.'
Currently, only the monsters that are pouring out have been sorted out to some extent, and the gate has not been closed yet.
The longer it is left open, the more likely it is that another gate will open somewhere on the ground. It's never too late to dig into questions later.
The thoughts that were about to become deep and heavy stopped there. Raven quickly cleared his expression and opened his mouth with a playful expression, just like she always did.
"More than that, don't just protect Didi—"
"[?]"
Raven disappeared somewhere.
Not long after, he reappeared and what he held in his hand was none other than Dan. A playful voice fell on Dan's head as he blinked blankly, unable to understand what was going on.
"Please protect them as well. You can handle two without eyes, right?"
'What is this....'
Dan, who belatedly realized the situation, frowned.
