Transmigrated into Another Apocalyptic World (BL) - Chapter 99

Chapter 99: Chapter 98: Teaching the three kids Chapter 99: Chapter 98: Teaching the three kids “The cactus just grows slower than the others.

As for the vines, even if they are just vines, they would still be useful,” Luciel said.

Luciel disregarded the dislike in Treyton’s voice and just went to put the vines beside the cactus.

When he continued caring for the cactus continuously, unlike the other plants he had, Treyton began to dislike it.

He doesn’t know why Treyton didn’t like the cactus; he just didn’t care about it because Treyton didn’t do anything bad to it anyway.

After putting down the vines, Luciel and Treyton went out of the RV to get more fresh air.

Nina and the others already finished setting up a place for them, so they just went and sat down.

There were many basins filled with ice, which helped keep the temperature comfortable outside.

The breeze was also cooler by the time it reached them, thanks to the shade from the trees and the ice basins nearby.

As a result, they were still able to enjoy sitting outside for a while.

While they were resting, Ashlee and the others were reading storybooks with Calvin near them.

Treyton and the others found a lot of storybooks yesterday, so the kids had a lot of books to read.

And it seemed that what they just read was the story, Little Mermaid, because he heard the kids asking about it.

Originally, he wasn’t paying attention to them because he was also reading comics, but he heard them asking a lot of questions about it, and Calvin was having a bit of a hard time answering some of their questions.

“Why did Ariel leave her dad and sister and go to the prince?” Ashlee asked.

“I also want to be a princess to marry a prince.

How can I be a princess?” Sophie asked.

“It said that she can’t speak, and it also hurts to walk.

Why did she still want to go to the prince?” Ashlee asked another question.

“Did they really live happily ever after?” Theo also asked.

“You can only be a princess if you are from the royal family.

It’s because Ariel loves the prince, so she did all those things.

They love each other, so of course they live happily ever after,” Calvin simply answered after he heard their questions.

“Really?

So, I can’t be a princess,” Sophie said sadly.

“Oh, so that’s love,” Ashlee said as if she finally understood something.

“Really?” Theo said as if he still doesn’t believe it.

“That’s a bit wrong,” Luciel said after he heard what they were talking about.

“Ashlee, that’s not really because of love.

That princess was just willful, so she didn’t even care about her family and left.

You also can’t define what she did because of love.

That princess is just a bit of an idiot.

She doesn’t even really know the prince, but she already sacrificed her voice and endured such pain just because she wanted to see the prince again, which is foolish.

It said that it was because of love, but it was just foolishness; don’t even try to follow her concept of love.

Remember, being in love doesn’t mean you are going to sacrifice yourself for such foolishness.

If the said love is just going to destroy yourself or cause you a lot of pain, then it is better to stay away from such love.

Got it?” Luciel said while looking at the kids.

Luciel might not believe in such things as love, but he wouldn’t prevent others from believing in love.

But it doesn’t mean he would just let such kids with him believe in such distorted love.

In the storybook, the little mermaid sacrifices her voice and even suffers pain just to go and see the prince, who doesn’t even know her.

They could say that she did that because she indeed loves the prince, but isn’t she too conceited of herself?

She wasn’t even sure if the prince even knew herself and fell in love with herself just because she saved him.

She traded such things even though the witch only gave her 3 days as a deadline.

So, in Luciel’s perspective, the princess was just conceited and foolish.

He understands that others believe that when you’re in love, happiness, sadness, and hardships should be shared.

However, this premise assumes that both people genuinely love each other.

However, in the storybook, it was just one-sided love at first, but she had already sacrificed a lot without even caring about the others in her surroundings.

“That’s not love?” Ashlee asked.

“That’s sick love.

If you want to love others, you should learn to love yourself first.

How could you just sacrifice yourself for something like that?

So, when you grow up in the future, don’t follow such an example,” Luciel said.

“Okay,” Ashlee said while nodding.

He doesn’t want Ashlee to have such a view about love.

If she managed to grow up in the future and have such a mindset about love, then it wouldn’t be good.

Even if he doesn’t believe in love, he still knew a lot about it because he had been performing a lot of scripts about love in his past life before the apocalypse came.

People have different views on love, but he really doesn’t agree that you should sacrifice a lot and even cause harm to the people around you just because of the word love.

“Sophie, why do you even want to be a princess just to marry a prince?” Luciel asked.

“Because it says a prince is handsome and kind!” Sophie said.

“Huh.

That’s all?” Sophie nodded.

This time, Luciel was a bit dumbfounded by what Sophie answered.

Kids really had simple thinking; Sophie wanted to be a princess just because of something that seemed simpler than her actual wish.

“Sophie, you don’t need to be a princess to marry someone who is handsome and kind.

I’m not sure about being kind, but look, aren’t I and Treyton handsome?” Luciel said while pointing at himself and at Treyton.

“Very handsome!” “I’m not a prince, and Treyton isn’t a prince either.

See?

So, even if you aren’t a princess, you will surely find someone who is handsome and kind to marry when you grow up,” Luciel said.

With the way things are currently, he doesn’t know what would happen by the time Sophie is of marriageable age.

If the situation improved, it would be easier for her to find someone who is handsome and kind, but if the current chaos persisted, it would be more difficult to find someone who is handsome and kind.

However, there is no need to say something like that to Sophie.

It would take years before they grow up anyway.

Kids were often influenced by what they could see.

Even if they were just saying it for now and might not remember it fully when they grew up.

Sometimes, they would still be affected by it subconsciously.

So, it’s better to correct their misunderstanding earlier.

“Ok,” Sophie nodded happily.

After he finished giving a satisfactory answer to Sophie, he also answered Theo’s question.

“As for Theo’s question, the answer would depend on what the couple would be doing later on.

The story didn’t say anything further, so we don’t know if they could really live happily ever after.

However, in reality, love isn’t enough to make everyone live happily ever after.

For example, even if lovers were really in love with each other, if there’s no food to eat, they would certainly be unhappy.

So, to live happily, they would need to do a lot of things,” Luciel said.

“I see,” Theo said while nodding.

Even though Theo was only 5 years old, he was already more mature than the others, so Luciel didn’t mind saying such things to him because Luciel knew that Theo would be able to understand a bit of what he was saying.

Fairytales often end up with the words ‘they live happily ever after’ but reality could really be crueler than stories.

If the little mermaid was not just a story and was real, Luciel doubted that they would really have a happy ever after.

Even if they really married afterwards, if the little mermaid is still impulsive and naive, she wouldn’t have a very peaceful life in the human world for a very long time.

And wouldn’t she feel guilty about the harm she caused to her family because of her willfulness?

His thoughts were interrupted by Treyton.

“Heh, I didn’t know Ciel could actually say such things,” Treyton said teasingly while caressing his cheeks.

“What’s with that tone?

Of course I can say such things; I’m not dumb,” Luciel said while removing Treyton’s hand from his cheeks.

“Nothing, I was just a bit surprised that you can actually say something like that,” Treyton said.

“I’m just saying those words, so of course I can,” Luciel answered confidently.

Treyton wanted to say something more but was interrupted by Nina, who brought their lunch.
