Chapter 36

Changing the worst predictions

Toxic Parent Reincarnation ~ When I Doted on My Daughter Destined to Become the Final Boss, She Ended Up Liking Me an Abnormal Amount ~


After finishing work, Clara was called to Aldoโ€™s house, where they ended up having a conversation.

โ€œAldo, why were you looking for Jeff-sensei and Mira? It doesnโ€™t seem like you know them personally.โ€

Aldo was struggling to figure out how to explain. But Iris suddenly leaned forward.

โ€œWe had a dream that Mira died!โ€

โ€œIris-chan did?โ€

โ€œNo, me and Dad!โ€

Clara listened to Irisโ€™s outlandish story and furrowed her brow in thought. Then, she looked back and forth between the two.

โ€œWas it some kind of prophetic dream? But, you know, I try not to believe in things like fortune-telling or prophetic dreamsโ€”things that donโ€™t have any solid basis.โ€

โ€œReallyโ€ฆ?โ€

Iris looked disappointed. But Clara smiled brightly.

โ€œBut, I do believe in you, Aldo and Iris.โ€

The moment Clara said those words, Irisโ€™s face lit up.

โ€œAfter all, both of you have some kind of mysterious power. Plus, you mentioned Miraโ€™s existence even though youโ€™ve never met her. So, Iโ€™ll help too!โ€

โ€œThank you, Clara!โ€

Iris felt relieved that Clara believed them. But that didnโ€™t mean the problem was solved.

โ€œThank you for believing us. I think itโ€™s more likely that people will believe you if you tell them, rather than us, who donโ€™t know them personally.โ€

โ€œYeahโ€ฆ but I really donโ€™t want to involve Mira if I can help it.โ€

Claraโ€™s face darkened. She bit her lower lip and clenched her fists.

โ€œMira shouldnโ€™t have to fight. Sheโ€™s the type who, if someoneโ€™s in trouble, will throw herself into battle without a second thoughtโ€ฆ But if Mira dies, that kidโ€ฆโ€

That kid. Aldo remembered something.

โ€œAre you talking about her little brother?โ€

โ€œAldo, you knew about that?โ€

โ€œYeah. It came up vaguely in the dream, so I remember.โ€

Aldoโ€™s hazy memory. In the battle with the witch Iris, Mira had shielded her brother and died. After that, her brother became an exorcist and joined the heroโ€™s party. That was the original history.

โ€œMiraโ€™s little brother, Horn-kun. Thereโ€™s quite an age gap between them. Heโ€™s about five years old now, right?โ€

โ€œHeโ€™s younger than me.โ€

โ€œMira actually wanted to become an exorcist too. But after our parents passed away, she gave up on that dream to take care of her little brother.โ€

โ€œAn exorcist. So thatโ€™s why she knows Jeff.โ€

โ€œYeah. Mira is my senior disciple. She had more talent for magic than me, but I was better at physical combat. Jeff-sensei taught us not just magic but also practical combat skills, so I became strong too.โ€

Aldo understood why Clara was so strong. With proper training under a skilled instructor, it was no wonder she could easily handle thugs.

โ€œRight now, Mira is working as a teacher, teaching kids. Well, sheโ€™s still more of a trainee, accompanying the real teacher and learning the ropes.โ€

โ€œLike a student teacher?โ€

โ€œStudent teacher? Whatโ€™s that?โ€

Clara widened her eyes at the unfamiliar term. Aldo was also confused, not entirely sure what he was saying.

โ€œWell, anyway. Iโ€™ll introduce you to Mira. We can talk more after that.โ€

โ€œOkay. Sounds good. Thanks, Clara.โ€

โ—‡

In the park at the city square, a woman with chestnut hair tied in a ponytail was sitting on a bench. She was eating a crepe with her little brother beside her.

โ€œItโ€™s delicious, big sis!โ€

โ€œYeah, it is. Haaโ€ฆโ€

The woman looked up at the sky. The weather was clear, but a passing cloud was blocking the sun.

โ€œMira!โ€

Clara called out to the woman.

โ€œHello, Horn-kun!โ€

โ€œHello!โ€

Horn stood up from the bench and greeted them, scratching his hair, which was the same color as Miraโ€™s, and looking a little shy.

โ€œClara, who are these people you wanted me to meet?โ€

โ€œThat guy over there and his kid.โ€

Clara pointed toward Aldo and Iris.

โ€œAhaha, hello.โ€

โ€œHello!โ€

Aldo greeted them with a forced smile, while Iris greeted them cheerfully. Mira sighed as she looked at the two.

โ€œโ€ฆI thought it might be my destined partner, but heโ€™s already got a kid? Clara, are you messing with me?โ€

โ€œHuh?โ€

โ€œIf you said you wanted me to meet someone, I thought youโ€™d bring a potential love interest!โ€

โ€œAhaha, sorry, sorry. But they have something important to talk about.โ€

Mira was unreasonably angry, but Clara brushed it off as if it were nothing unusual. Seeing this, Aldo felt a bit more confident.

Mira had casually mentioned the idea of a โ€œdestined partner.โ€ It gave Aldo the impression that she might be open to spiritual things and could possibly believe in prophetic dreams.

โ€œSo, whatโ€™s this important matter?โ€

โ€œWell, actuallyโ€”โ€

Clara explained about the prophetic dream Aldo and Iris had seen. At first, Mira seemed skeptical, but as the story went on, she began to nod, showing interest.

โ€œAldo, I have a question. You said I die, right? Thenโ€ฆ what happens to Horn? My little brother?โ€

What concerned Mira wasnโ€™t her own death, but what would happen to her brother afterward.

โ€œHorn-kun survives. Because you protect him. And then, Horn-kun follows in your footsteps and becomes an exorcist.โ€

โ€œโ€”โ€”!!โ€

Miraโ€™s eyes widened. Then, she spoke.

โ€œIโ€™m not an exorcist. But if I were to become oneโ€ฆ that would be the worst future, wouldnโ€™t it?โ€

โ€œThe worstโ€ฆ?โ€

Aldo didnโ€™t understand what Mira was saying. After all, Mira was a character who died before the main story of the game even began. Her backstory, especially events further in the past, wasnโ€™t covered in the main gameโ€”it was only mentioned in supplementary material.

โ€œYeah. I had thought that if Jeff-sensei died, I would take over for him.โ€

โ€œWait, I never heard about that.โ€

Clara interjected. Indeed, even Clara didnโ€™t know about this. She only knew that Mira had once aimed to become an exorcist.

โ€œRight now, Iโ€™m not an exorcist, yet you said I become one in the future. If you were a scammer who had dug up information about me, you wouldnโ€™t know something that only exists in my heart. And if youโ€™re a prophet, thatโ€™s even worse. Because it means my teacher will die.โ€

In the original history, Jeff dies during the upcoming spirit attack. The spirit, in its final moments, unleashes a devastating attack, taking many civilians with it. Jeff shields others from the attack and dies. Mira then takes over his role.

โ€œWhether I believe you or not, Iโ€™d judge you as a shady adult. Thatโ€™s all.โ€

Mira turned to her brother, matching his eye level. Then, she gently patted his head.

โ€œBig sis?โ€

Mira hugged her brother tightly.

โ€œHornโ€ฆ! Even if Iโ€™m goneโ€ฆ you have to grow up strong, okay?โ€

โ€œHuh? What are you talking about? Big sis, I donโ€™t want you to go anywhere.โ€

โ€œAh, ahaha. Yeah, youโ€™re right. I wonโ€™t leave you behindโ€ฆ never.โ€

Aldo understood Miraโ€™s feelings all too well. If someone told him he was going to die, he knew heโ€™d do the same thing with Iris.

When facing death, you want to spend as much time as possible with the ones you love. Anyone with a heart would feel the same.

Mira pulled away from her brother and turned to Aldo.

โ€œAldo, is it still not too late? To change the future where I die thereโ€ฆ no, I donโ€™t want Jeff-sensei to die either! No, everyoneโ€ฆ I donโ€™t want anyone to die.โ€

Aldo nodded firmly. He didnโ€™t have any experience changing the future, but he wasnโ€™t about to give a half-hearted answer now.

โ€œIโ€™m here because I intend to change it.โ€
