Chapter-62

From that moment on, Sin took it upon himself to meticulously sketch out a detailed map, outlining every single corridor within the house. With great care and precision, he handed over the map to her, ensuring that she understood the significance of this blueprint. It was within these marked corridors that they would embark on their quest to locate the elusive candies. Sin emphasized that under no circumstances could they be found outside of the designated areas demarcated on the map.

Then Jui took the paper in her little hands. She was looking at the strange map that her bad uncle had drawn. Sin could not hope to make her understand this because she was not even a four-year-old child. However, her mouth was drooling at the thought of the candy. She was like, "Candy!!! So much candy!!! I could eat so much of that."

After forcefully taking the map from her delicate grasp, Sin proceeded to assert his authority, reminding her of their complicated familial relationship. Understanding that it would be unwise to continue accompanying her malicious uncle he encouraged her to embark on a quest to locate her beloved mother. With a dismissive wave, he instructed her to depart from his presence, as he was now determined to embark on his own mission to procure delectable treats. With a deceptively feigned urgency, Sin began to simulate an ardent search for the candies, clandestinely surveying every nook and cranny of the dimly lit corridor.

However, Jui found herself frozen, overwhelmed by a sheer sense of disbelief. Her young and innocent mind struggled to comprehend the gravity of the situation and ponder on the course of action she should take. After all, her mother had always warned her against staying close to the nefarious uncle, cautioning her about the potential harm he could inflict upon her. The weight of her mother's words echoed in her thoughts, intensifying her fear and uncertainty.

However, she simply cannot let go of her relentless desire to embark on a quest for candy and indulge in its sweet deliciousness. In a state of deep contemplation, she unknowingly finds herself trailing behind Sin, her mind consumed by thoughts of sugary treats. It is at this moment that a distant memory resurfaces, one in which she recalls playing an exhilarating game of hide and seek with her beloved Aunt Ira.

As she reminisces about that exhilarating experience, a cunning plan begins to form within her mischievous mind. She realizes that, if she wishes to truly experience the thrill of the chase, she must cleverly conceal herself behind a closed door, silently observing the pursuer's every move. For she understands that if she were to allow herself not to be discovered, the ensuing pursuit would be imbued with an even greater sense of excitement and amusement.

Jui cautiously tiptoes, her delicate little toes ensuring her presence remains undetected by her sinister uncle. Seeking refuge behind a decorative vase, she positions herself to observe her uncle's activities with a sense of curiosity and apprehension. As she peers through the slender opening, her eyes illuminate with excitement as she witnesses her uncle's discovery of a tantalizing piece of candy.

Sin then proceeded to feign interest in his surroundings, purposefully avoiding direct eye contact with Jui. This deliberate avoidance of his gaze gave Jui a sense of relief, as she believed that Sin had not discovered her secret. To further solidify this facade, Sin confidently consumed the entire candy in one swift gulp, leaving no trace of evidence behind.

As she observed him indulging in "her" candy, she felt an overwhelming surge of emotions that threatened to bring tears cascading down her cheeks. Yet, despite the turmoil within, she managed to maintain a composed demeanor, carefully controlling her tone so as not to reveal her deep distress. She understood that any display of vulnerability would risk exposing her secret to her wicked uncle, a man who harbored ill intentions towards her.

Once again, Sin stumbled upon yet another delectable treat, his eyes darting around before greedily devouring it without a moment's hesitation. Witnessing this selfish act, Jui couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy creeping into her heart. It was in that moment that she realized her mother's warnings held some truth - Sin truly embodied the persona of an unkind and inconsiderate uncle, refusing to share his coveted candies with her.

Despite the fact that she was still trailing behind him, she couldn't conceal her indulgence any longer as Sin devoured candy after candy. Unable to resist any longer, she finally positioned herself directly in front of him.

Sin gazed deeply into the teary eyes of Jui, noticing that they seemed as if they were on the verge of overflowing with tears. With a mix of fake curiosity and concern, Sin proceeded to inquire about the reason behind Jui's decision to trail him. Puzzled, he wondered if her mother had not explicitly warned her against accompanying him, referring to him as "this bad uncle".

Despite not responding, she gazed at him with eyes filled with resentment and reluctance, causing him to experience an overwhelming sense of being the most disgusting individual to walk the face of the earth.

Sin then said to her, playfully winking one eye that he would allow her to join him in the search if she referred to him as Good Uncle. However, in response, she bluntly remarked that he was not a benevolent individual who would selflessly share all the candies but rather someone who greedily consumed them all by himself.

Upon hearing this, Sin let out a mocking snort, resembling that of a nefarious character, and advised her to abandon the idea completely and instead focus on locating her mother. With that, he resumed his search without giving her any further attention.

Jui quickly followed behind her uncle and eagerly expressed her desire to join in on the fun of being a treasure hunter by referring to him as "Good Uncle".

Upon hearing this, Sin's face broke into a wide grin as he responded, "Ah, you never fail to impress me, my dear. Together, we shall embark on a delightful quest to uncover every last piece of candy." She nodded energetically as she heard him speak. Clearly eager to join in on the sweet adventure.

Afterward, the two of them embark on a quest to find the delectable treats, eagerly scouring every nook and cranny in their pursuit. Eventually, he graciously allows her to indulge in the pleasure of consuming each and every piece of candy, savoring the sweet flavors with delight.

Sin was engaged in the act of carefully placing each individual candy alongside Kamui in their respective designated spots. This seemingly mundane task held a significant weight for Sin because this child had never been in such close proximity to him before.
