After the Lord of the Abyss Awakens - Extra 6.2

They looked at each other, only able to follow behind Marbas as they went in.

In the living room, they saw a young man sitting on the sofa wearing a cartoon eye mask, his clothes slightly disheveled, his deep green eyes looking straight at them.

[Ah ah this is a handsome guy with a unique flavor!! Third Brother has a world-weary decadent feel 233]

[Everyone is certain!]

[Third Brother is so relaxed, truly worthy of being the handsome guy who sleeps all day]

“Are you the TV crew?”

Vassago had just been woken up by the cat missile, his entire demonic aura was fuming, and to see it was little Ayni and her gang, Buer.

It wasn’t the first time – his sister was lawless, always making mischief, yet He had no choice but to forgive her.

“I know the situation already.”

Vassago yawned, “You said it’s an interview?”

“Yes, yes.”

Xiaolin quickly explained, “We mainly share life stories, not professional interviews, please don’t worry.”

Marbas turned to Xiaolin and said, “You can ask questions now.”

Xiaolin nodded respectfully and asked, “Does Mr. Vassago like to sleep a lot usually?”

Vassago nodded frankly, “Yes, because it’s comfortable. In my view, nothing is more comfortable than sleeping.”

[Agree!!]

[Damn, I love sleeping too, why am I not handsome?]

Xiaolin continued asking, “Besides sleeping, do you have any other interests or hobbies?”

Vassago fell into deep thought, then said, “No. If I have to say… I occasionally help with housework.”

[Can’t quite imagine third brother doing housework 233]

Vassago continued, “Of course not in this house, it’s newly moved in, relatively small, just enough space for us to live in. If cleaned seriously, it gets done very quickly. Our old home was bigger, and had many trolls, every time we went back we had to clean up.”

Xiaolin couldn’t hold back. “T-trolls?!”

[He definitely said that this time, right?!]

[Hey hey, what’s going on, so where is third brother’s old home?]

Marbas next to him smoothed things over. “Trolls refers to things like spiders and cockroaches. Our old home was in the countryside, close to the forest, animals often ran around, and after not living there for a few days it would get dusty. Third Brother really hates those things, so He calls them trolls. This is kind of like a code word that only our family understands.”

“I-I see.”

Xiaolin nodded, seeming to suddenly understand.

[Hey Xiaolin, don’t accept it so quickly!]

[What’s wrong with that? Third brother is just going through a phase, so cute]

[I don’t think it’s just a phase…]

Xiaolin asked, “Where is your old home?”

[Good question!!]

Vassago said, “It’s very far from here. Even if I told you, you wouldn’t know where it is, so let’s not talk about it.”

“O-okay.”

The tactful Xiaolin didn’t pursue this matter further, looked around the room, and couldn’t help saying, “Mr. Vassago’s room is very elegant.”

“Is it? I haven’t really noticed.”

Vassago didn’t have much feeling about this, “I heard you just met my eldest and second brothers?”

“Yes.”

Xiaolin wanted to wipe away sweat.

Vassago turned his head and asked, “Were you very surprised?”

[More than surprised, we were shocked, stunned, and nearly fainted on the spot!]

Xiaolin honestly nodded.

Vassago nodded. “I understand. They are very special beings even among all our siblings.”

“With your eldest and second brothers being so perfect, do you feel pressured?”

Xiaolin suddenly became curious.

“A bit.”

Vassago seemed somewhat surprised by Xiaolin’s angle of questioning, his eyes deep as he said, “They are powerful and wise, omnipotent and invincible. It once made me very frustrated.”

[What! Third brother was actually frustrated]

[I smell a story coming]

The cat on the bed also perked up its big ears.

Xiaolin continued asking, “Then what happened?”

Vassago recalled. “I was still young then, and would tell Father everything, so I told him about this too. At that time, Father told me to just be myself. Eldest and second brothers each have their own personalities and talents, and I have my own characteristics too. Don’t suffer in comparisons.”

As He spoke, His eyes gradually became gentle, like a melting iceberg, “I didn’t quite understand what it meant then, but slowly came to appreciate it later.”

[Dad is really good at taking care of children]

[Wuwu I feel they are all very good people, makes my corpse feel warm]

Once Vassago started talking about the past, He had more to say, and shared some interesting stories with the TV crew. There were ones about Him and his father, and also about Him and his siblings.

Time flew by and it was soon 18:00, almost dinner time.

Vassago casually asked, “I hope those brothers and sisters of mine haven’t caused you any trouble.”

Xiaolin shook his head and said, “No no, they were all very friendly, it’s just that we might not always be able to follow their train of thought.”

“They each have their own quirks, don’t need to be polite about it, I know.”

As He spoke, Vassago showed a rare slight smile.

[Ahhhh screaming——!!]

[Third brother made me cry]

[Damn, I was firmly in second brother’s camp]

After interviewing Vassago, Xiaolin felt dazed, his footsteps were a bit unsteady as he walked downstairs.

He felt…although they weren’t all necessarily enthusiastic hosts, they were fundamentally very gentle people.

This made him very curious about their “father”. What kind of person could raise so many gentle children?

He was lost in thought, to the extent that he wasn’t paying attention while walking down the stairs, and nearly bumped into someone coming back through the entrance.

[Careful, Xiaolin!]

Xiaolin reacted in time but almost lost his balance, fortunately the young man in front of him grabbed his hand in time.

His heart immediately tightened, and he unconsciously looked up.

The visual impact that followed nearly made him faint.

[Ahhhhhh!!]

[A handsome guy we haven’t seen before, help, He actually has white hair! And His ears are pointed like elves in TV shows]

[So ethereal, skin like congealed cream, is this really without makeup? And is it my imagination? Feels like He has a natural soft light effect]

Then, the elf-like white-haired young man asked, “Are you alright?”

Xiaolin was stunned, took a moment before saying, “I’m fine, you are?”

The white-haired young man glanced at Marbas.

Marbas smiled and nodded. The white-haired young man then introduced himself. “I’m Lelagin, ranked fourteenth in the family.”

[As expected the whole family is gorgeous! White hair enthusiasts have fallen]

Xiaolin quickly nodded.

Marbas asked Lelagin, “Is Father back yet?”

Lelagin said calmly, “Soon, he’s already picked up Yun Yun.”

[Yun Yun? Sounds like a sister]

Marbas smiled slightly, turned to Xiaolin and said, “Yun Yun is our twenty-eighth sister.”

Xiaolin was stunned.

[Eh, wasn’t it said there were twenty-four brothers and sisters?]

[The one above remembered wrong, it was said there were more than that before]

[Dad must be very tired taking care of so many children]

“Sorry I can’t participate in your interview, I need to take care of some things,” Lelagin said to Xiaolin.

Xiaolin quickly said it’s fine, fine, “Please go ahead with your business.”

Marbas then led Xiaolin and the others to the living room. By this time the dining room next to the living room had already been set up, through the living room’s horizontal window they could see Morax setting up tableware, and there seemed to be sounds of someone busy in the kitchen further inside.

“Curious?”

Marbas smiled and said.

Xiaolin nodded, “Yes but…”

Marbas introduced, “Celerios, ranked nineteenth, is our family’s housework specialist, a very capable brother.”

[He’s appeared! Feels like He’s a very good baby]

[He looks so cute being busy back and forth, can we get a closer look~]

Looking at this scene, Xiaolin paused for a second, and couldn’t help saying, “It’s so lively with many family members.”

Marbas seemed to have some deeper meaning, turned to look at Xiaolin, “You think so too.”

Xiaolin sincerely said, “Before I would think having many people makes it easy to lose track of things, but now… it feels quite nice.”

This was a completely heartfelt thought, not just courtesy.

Marbas smiled slightly, continuing to introduce, “There are two twins in the kitchen, did you see them? They are ranked twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth, children that Father picked up after coming back. They go to elementary school nearby and just got home.”

Xiaolin nodded, vaguely seeing two black and white figures.

[They’re all such good babies. Although they haven’t grown up yet, their looks are already clearly visible!]

[But why isn’t dad home yet]

[Speaking of which, have all introductions been done?]

[No, feels like someone was missed]

Just then, the family’s cats suddenly moved, charging to the entrance like little missiles, meowing very excitedly.

Xiaolin slowly turned around, just as he saw the entrance door open.

A black-haired young man was holding a little girl, and as soon as he opened the door he noticed the cats behind the door.

He smiled slightly, then squatted down and put the little girl on the ground.

The little cats skillfully jumped onto him, either nestling in his arms or clinging to his shoulders, making him look like he was covered in fluffy cat plushies.

Xiaolin was stunned, his eyes wide.

The live stream also paused for a few seconds, then the comments exploded.

Without any introduction, they just knew this young man was their beloved father!

[Ahhhh daddy’s home!!]

[Screaming——! Much younger than I imagined, this visibly gentle temperament, wuwu, I, I’m moved to tears]

[So heartwarming that the cats all rush to daddy as soon as he gets home]

[I want to be surrounded by fluffiness too wuwu]

Then, the black-haired young man walked into the living room, smiling and said, “Are you the TV crew that Mal mentioned?”

Xiaolin finally came back to his senses, quickly nodding and saying, “Yes yes, we are. Um, sorry to disturb you.”

The young man shook his head and said, “It’s no problem.”

Xiaolin seemed to temporarily forget how to speak, his gaze lowered uncertainly, suddenly noticing a necklace with time patterns on the other person, a watch worn on the exposed left wrist, and a ring with time patterns on the left ring finger.

Was that a clock in the ring?

However just then, a little cat suddenly popped out from the young man’s collar.

[Ah, that sooty face, it’s a Siamese cat!]

[Oh my, it’s so cute, popping out from daddy’s collar]

[Daddy doesn’t seem to have noticed? Must be used to it, haha]

[Such a gentle and oblivious daddy, wuwu I’m so envious]

The little Siamese startled Xiaolin.

Marbas beside him smiled and introduced, “He is our seventeenth brother, Botis.”

Xiaolin immediately nodded. For some unknown reason, he now felt like he was being stared at by a snake, his spine getting cold!

The Siamese cat tilted its head, seeming not very friendly.

The young man seemed to finally notice the little Siamese on himself, looking down and saying, “Botis, when did you climb up here?”

His voice was gentle, making people feel like they were bathed in a cool breeze.

[I don’t care I don’t care, I’m adopting him as my dad today]

[The one above thinks too much, that’s my daddy!]

The little Siamese meowed weakly, seeming to express its innocence.

The young man was quickly convinced, smiled and said, “Mm, it’s fine. But…”

He paused, looking properly at Xiaolin and the others, asking, “Are you here to interview me?”

Xiaolin quickly said, “Yes yes!”

“I see.”

Xiu Si nodded, saying, “Then where should I start?”

With dinner time approaching, they naturally couldn’t chat for long.

Next, they went to the living room.

Xiaolin nervously asked, “Where are you from?”

“My hometown? It’s from a very far place.”

“We learned from them that you seemed to have disappeared for a period of time.”

“Yes, I made them worry then, I’ve always felt very guilty about it, and will never do that again in the future.”

[Feel so bad for daddy wuwu]

“Were the bad people from that time caught?”

“Yes, all resolved.”

Xiu Si’s tone was gentle, but the word “resolved” was slightly brutal, though Xiaolin and others didn’t notice.

“By the way, why do you have so many time-related items on you?”

“Because I don’t have a very good sense of time, the children all want me to pay attention to it, I’ve also been working on improving.”

“I see.”

Xiaolin found it somewhat unbelievable, as the other person didn’t look at all like someone who lacked time awareness.

They chatted for less than ten minutes, with Xiaolin asking questions quickly.

As soon as it was 18:30, Xiu Si stood up, and although he didn’t say anything, his eyes were already looking towards the dining table.

[Ah, daddy’s family is going to have dinner]

[Don’t want to leave, want to watch more]

[Speaking of which, I’ve even thought of a title for this show – A Meow People Family, haha]

Xiaolin understood, solemnly saying, “Thank you very much to you and your family for sharing!”

“Until we meet again by fate.”

[Nooooo]

[Daddy look at me one more time /(ㄒoㄒ)/]

A few minutes later, Xiu Si saw off the TV crew.

It was his first time accepting this kind of interview, and he felt it was quite novel. However, the children probably wouldn’t have revealed anything, right?

He was somewhat thoughtful, but the worry flashed by, because the children behind him were calling out.

“Father meow, dinner time meow!”

“Coming coming.”

As for what reaction there would be after the show aired, that was unknown. Perhaps their uncles and aunts would see it?

Haha, feels like they will probably call to ask about it. Xiu Si thought casually, then quickened his pace.
