Chapter 568.2
“Well, it’s even more lively since Riou and Sakuya were born! Oh, Riou is Shii’s younger sister and Sakuya’s older sister! Riou is a normal girl, unlike Sakuya, so Shii has to protect her! Sakuya protects her too, though!”
[I see... It’s a good family, Sakuya.] (Skeleton)
“Aww, abuuu” (Sakuya)
Although the skeleton had no eyes, Sakuya seemed happy to receive the gaze from the skeleton’s eye sockets.
“Ah, Sakuya, it looks like you’ve grown fond of Uncle Mukuro! This child is really into observing people! It appears he had fun watching Uncle Mukuro!” (Shii)
[Kukaka, do you like these old bones? The last person to say that to me was my master.] (Skeleton)
“Did Uncle Mukuro have a master as well?” (Shii)
[Yeah. I was originally living in the wild, but one day I fought my master and lost. I thought I was going to be killed, but instead my master told me to live with him.] (Skeleton)
“Wow...! He seems like a really cool guy!” (Shii)
[Yes, he was a great master, full of love and wit. Even now, I can easily remember him.] (Skeleton)
With a happy expression on its face, it then muttered, changing its voice to something a little more serious.
[...Is this child a guide?] (Skeleton)
The skeleton of the monster looked into the distance.
“...Uncle Mukuro really likes this place, doesn’t he?” (Shii)
[More than anything... more than my own life...] (Skeleton)
The emotion that came through in his voice...
Was it self-deprecation for continuing to cling to something even though it had already become a being that could not be called a living thing?
Or was it a sense of pathos for the garden that had decayed along with its flesh?
[But, is it really time to end it all?] (Skeleton)
With that, the beast’s skeleton rose from its sitting position.
[Alright, it’s not interesting just to just stare at a garden. Come with me, and I’ll show you around.] (Skeleton)
“Yes, please!” (Shii)
Shii pushed Sakuya’s stroller and started walking through the garden, following the beast’s skeleton.
