The Devil's way of business

Chapter 42 : Alone

Reed finishes his diary as he copes with understanding the kind of history he had started " So I wasn't just good I had connections with a someone like the parent of the fae ? ... Very well then I'll have to help one way or another "

" Really ? " " Yes I'd rather not sit around when my friend is in trouble " Reed looks at the book " May I keep this ? " " Sure you are technically the founder so I'm sure you have a lot of rights to the Count family's property "

" I'm sure I can't exactly claim rights to the marked cities if I had asked " " Well I didn't lie " shrugging their shoulders as they checked on Moirai while Reed left walking to the living energy he was researching .

' No wonder this feels so familiar ' " Is this one of your missing parts Friend ? " Reed couldn't tell if they were nearby as he sighed " Oh well I'll leave it here for you " Reed prepared to secure them as his descendants and family looked at their founder feeling so distant from him .

This might be because he had a secret that no one would be able to understand even though he was the first to depart from the living and meet his engaged partner who was just someone who benefited from his influence in heaven .

They would naturally feel distant not because they knew death doesn't put them apart but because of Reed's secret , however , because he had no memory of it he grew more distant from his descendants as time passed due to his loss of memory .

Everyone never suspected a thing thinking it might be because Reed welcomed death without fear or never had any real feelings with his family other than wishing prosperity for it .

And now Reed understands completely why no matter how much greater each Count was compared to him , he would not look at them in the eye with true genuine pride for their works .

' I wonder if Karma would be the only family I'll actually be proud because he had my diary and understood me ' 

...

Isir looks at Moirai as he writes with a laptop to talk " Yes I know Reed seems lonely but your dad was the same you know ? " Moirai gave a confused look as he remembered Karma always having fun together with Isir .

" Karma lived alone , he was born knowing everyone he would love would die so he didn't love anyone , that's why he didn't fall for any seduction from both sides of the team " " ? " " I mean a girl and a guy ? "

Moirai nodded at the answer he was given about both sides of the team " Learning about heaven and hell is probably a blessing for him " Isir looks at Moirai as he writes .

" After all of this ? ... we probably could take a vacation but we both have an unhealthy obsession with productivity , This is probably thanks to how we like doing what we do , I really like making things but not finishing some games even Karma doesn't think playing a game isn't fun unless you get something maybe like character development , joy in interacting with a story "

They think of why Karma never invested in boring games that are very straightforward and don't allow player interaction " But if the stories are really good he would play through the game "

Moirai wonders what kind of games he could play as he searches for some and sees a game before Isir guides him to somewhere else .

" No even if you know more than an adult you are still young in very many aspects let's just get you a game with a really good story , I guarantee that this has good graphics so you can relate to it more "

Isir looks at the game remembering how Karma had enjoyed talking about it .

" You have no control over the story but it's really fun , millions of people play the same game they know the story face to face and it's free to download " " Except for the pay-to-win part " Karma didn't care about that part since he was just playing the game .
