Zenless Zone Zero: I'm a Succubus in Sixth Street

Seeing Grace gradually approaching, the pile driver became as anxious as a child afraid of getting a shot. In the end, it had no choice but to shout, "All of you, listen to me! I'm not lying! I heard Mentor Hols's call! I can't let down his expectations!"

Hearing this familiar name, the four members of Belobog Heavy Industries present were all stunned. And among them, the one with the biggest emotional fluctuation was naturally Koleda. Wise could sympathize with this, because being held in her arms, he was about to be squeezed to death.

"What's going on... Why did that guy's name appear?!"

Hols Belobog. In Koleda's memory, she could hardly remember how long it had been since she had heard this name. He was the former president of Belobog Heavy Industries who was said to have run off with the company's money, and also Koleda's father. Hearing this name again, she couldn't help but recall various things from her childhood, and the most impressive memory was probably of him introducing the prototype he had built to her. But the final memory was frozen on the night he left home. After that, Koleda had never seen her father again.

Sitting on the construction site, Koleda was lost in her memories, her gaze staring off into the distance. Ben at her side had to call her several times before she reacted.

"...President? President?"

"Ah, Ben, were you calling me?"

"Yes. Our commission is complete, so young Mr. Wise has come to retrieve his Bangboo."

"Oh, alright." As she spoke, Koleda also handed the Eous in her arms to Ben. Ever since she had heard that name from the pile driver's mouth, she had been absent-minded. And Grace, seeing Koleda like this, also didn't think about asking for Eous back. Actually, she had been thinking about studying it.

As for Wise, who had just arrived on the other side, he happened to see this scene. "Hello there, Koleda."

"Wise. Although there was a small accident in the process, now all three of the lost intelligent machines have been found. With this, the commission can be considered completely finished. It's thanks to you that Belobog Heavy Industries was able to get through this crisis. Thank you again for your help."

From Koleda's performance, it seemed that the incident hadn't affected her mood. It was just unknown whether this was something she was deliberately showing so as not to worry others.

"Don't be so polite. We're already friends, after all. If you have any other matters in the future, you can come find me anytime."

"Mmm, speaking of which, Grace is currently inspecting those three machines. With her skills, she should be able to find the reason soon... What's wrong? You look like you have something else to say." Koleda looked at the hesitant Wise and asked him directly. The latter, seeing that the person involved had said so, no longer beat around the bush.

"Mmm, it's just that your expression just now was very strange, Koleda. Is it related to the 'Hols' the pile driver mentioned before?"

"Ah, oh my! It's already so late! President, if we don't arrange for young Mr. Wise's commission fee soon, we won't be able to transfer the money before tomorrow." It could only be said that it was just like the heartwarming Ben. Seeing that the situation was not right, he immediately spoke up, wanting to find an excuse for Koleda to avoid the topic.

"It's okay. You don't have to do that, Ben. Even if they can't get the answer from us, they can find out just by looking it up online. Besides, Wise and his team are not only our benefactors, but also trustworthy friends. There's nothing to hide."

Afterward, Koleda also sincerely told him the truth, and Wise just sat at the side and listened quietly.

"All in all, I've long stopped thinking of Hols Belobog as my father. And the current Belobog Heavy Industries also has nothing to do with this irresponsible person... Mmph!"

"Sorry, I didn't mean to do that. It's just that from your description, Koleda, when you were little, he was still a good father, wasn't he?" Wise retracted his hand with some embarrassment. Koleda didn't seem to mind too much, just wiping her lips with her hand, her face slightly red. "So what? Even so, it doesn't change the fact that he's a bastard who abandoned me and abandoned Belobog Heavy Industries..."

As Koleda said this, her tone was clearly not as firm. It seemed that because of Wise's words, she had recalled the moments she had spent with her father.

[Ding! Koleda's favorability has decreased by 3 points...]

[Ding! Koleda's favorability has increased by 5 points...]

Wise looked at this rise and fall of favorability, and the income of Emotion Value. It could be seen that her heart was struggling very much at this moment.

"Then perhaps it was for some unavoidable reason?"

"Hmph, what reason could there be for him to abandon even his own daughter?"

"Mmm, then how about I tell you a story?"

"Huh?"

Ignoring Koleda's objection, Wise also began to tell his story on his own. The main characters of the story were also a father and a daughter. And the daughter in the story even had a bandage over her right eye for some reason. This couldn't help but make Koleda subconsciously look at herself. However, seeing that Wise was still continuing with his story, she didn't interrupt.

What followed was a peaceful and happy time between the father and daughter. Hearing this, Koleda was both disdainful and a little envious. After all, when she was little, she was as happy as the girl in the story.

But just as Koleda thought that the rest of the story would be about the same, the tone of Wise's words suddenly changed. A crisis that suddenly descended in the story not only destroyed the small wooden house the father and daughter lived in together, but it also caused the father to be seriously injured, losing an arm. But the daughter had no memory of this at all. Only the golden light of her right eye's pupil shone through the bandage.

The sudden tragedy caught Koleda off guard, but this wasn't the end. And in that accidental fire, the father left. He said he was going to fulfill a very important promise. Although he left enough money for his daughter to live on, he never appeared in her sight again. The daughter at this time did not quite understand her father's actions. She began to be angry with her father, thinking he was a bastard, but even so, she still embarked on a journey to find him, even searching the entire continent for this purpose, but she never found a trace of him.

The daughter at this time still did not know that her father had actually been by her side all along, it was just that she didn't know.

"So, why are you telling me all this? Are you trying to tell me that that bastard, like the father in this story, also had his own difficulties?" Koleda's tone was a bit angry. Although she didn't know the cause of the accident in the story, connecting the cause and effect, the problem was probably with the daughter. Otherwise, Wise wouldn't have deliberately described the daughter's golden pupils. And this couldn't help but make Koleda think, could it be that Wise was trying to say that her father left because of her own fault?

But it was clear that Wise did not mean this. After all, the content of the story and Koleda's situation were two different things. It was just that the image of the father in both was about the same.
