2024-10-29 19:42:56"Do you see that?"
Caesar tilted his head sideways and looked at him innocently, "What do you want me to see?"
"..." Is he the only one who is worried about the wall? Why can't this man give a better reaction? The neighbor really did not understand the thoughts of Caesar.
"Just look at the wall. It is very clear that it was destroyed from your side. Don't you have anything to say?" The neighbor asked in exasperation.
Caesar lazily looked at the wall, which was very clear to any naked eye that it was rammed into from this side of the wall, before he replied with a very very lazy, "Ohh."
"..." The neighbor was dumbstruck by the lack of reaction from the man, "Ohh? What do you mean by ohh? Are you an idiot?"
To his furious question, Caesar didn't even care to reply as he casually looked at all the trees and vines around him. He looked very proud when his eyes were on them as they reminded of the powers of Hearthe.
The neighbor felt like he was punching a cotton wall, when he saw the lackadaisical reaction.
He then gritted his teeth and looked at the damaged wall once again. His mind flashed with the image of the wall from the other side and his anger grew higher, "You damaged my wall and don't want to take any responsibility? Dream on!!"
Caesar looked at his neighbor and blinked his eyes twice in confusion. When did he say that he would not take the responsibility?
Though he did not say anything, since it was his Hearthe that destroyed the wall, he would be very much willing to take the responsibility for her actions as her Father.
But his reaction made the neighbor think that he was acting innocent and was trying to shirk the responsibility.
"You, how dare you? You want to…" the neighbor grabbed onto Caesar's collar and glowered in anger. Before he could finish his words, he felt a slimy feeling covering all over his legs.
He felt uncomfortable all over at the weird sliminess and released Caesar's collar before trying to take a step back.
The keyword being 'trying'.
The grip on his foot was so tight that he couldn't move his leg no matter how hard he forced himself.
While trying to move, he lowered his head to look at the culprit.
By the time he lowered his head, a huge head came near his own making him scared witless.
He lost balance and fell to the ground at once.
The slimy body that resembled a snake was now totally wrapped all around his body as the face was nearing his own even more.
The face looked weird. It did not resemble the face of a snake or any other creature. Instead it had the mixed features of a human and a bug.
The face was wrinkled like that of an old man and the color was dark like red mud.
The combination made the face look even more hideous than the slimy feeling of its body.
The neighbor couldn't help but shriek and crawled away from Hearthe's tight grip.
It was really a miracle how he got rid of such a tight grip. Maybe it was the power of the adrenaline rush caused by the fear.
Once he was out of her grip, Hearth did not attack him any more and crawled backwards before she curled around her Father's foot timidly. Though she looked timid, her eyes were glaring at the neighbor, showing that she was there to protect her Father if he were to attack him again.
The neighbor got furious when he looked at her eyes but he did not dare to attack her either.
He felt ashamed for his unmanly position on the ground and slowly stood on his feet, before clearing his throat and taking another step backwards in order to stay away from the weird looking creature.
He then looked at the calm and collected Caesar, only to feel more frustrated than ever.
Yet he did not raise his hand nor voice in order to not affect the curled up creature before he spoke in a hushed voice, "Caesar, what is that thing, exactly? Is that the thing that crashed into my beautiful wall?"
Caesar's eyes darkened when his cute and adorable daughter was addressed as a thing. Yet he tried to control his anger towards a mere stranger and calmly nodded his head as a reply to his last question, though he did not understand why the man was calling a stupid wall as beautiful while his adorable daughter as a thing.
He controlled all his anger so that he would not scare his daughter, who still looked timid around his legs.
Now all he wanted to do was throw this man out of his house fast so that his daughter would no longer be scared like this. He liked his daughter's happy and playful side better.
Not knowing his thoughts, the neighbor said, "It looks ugly."

Caesar was now standing in his backyard, with blood seeping from his hand as he looked at a small plant that reached his knees.With his bloodied hand, he softly touched the top of the plant. His every action was so soft and warm as if he was looking at his love instead of a plant.At the top of the plant laid a small, very tiny bud that was almost ready to bloom.As soon as his fingers touched the plant, the bud started blooming into a beautiful flower.As the petals started opening up, a golden light shone from the inside.Looking at the golden light, Caesar's eyes brightened as they were now filled with excitement as if he was waiting for someone's- who is (or would be) very close to his heart- arrival.The petals continued opening up at a slow pace and a pair of eyes suddenly crept out of them to look at the new world.Caesar's eyes warmed up with moisture as he looked at the new arrival. He used his left hand, which did not have any hint of blood on it, to stretch it in front of
The Manic Tyrant and his Monster Tree Hearthe's powers
"You are amazing, Hearthe!" Caesar bent over to pat its head and spoke softly.Hearthe understood that it was just praised by its father and its eyes shone brightly while its long tail behind started dancing excitedly at this sudden praise; though it did not understand what its father just praised it for.It did not care, for all it wanted was its father's recognition and also his happiness.Caesar's smile widened when he looked at Hearthe's dancing body."Okay! You play around here. I will go inside and rest for a while. Alright?" Caesar asked Hearthe, to which it obediently nodded its head."Good girl," Caesar once again praised her to show his appreciation towards her obedience.He went back inside and thought to rest for a while but when he looked to the side he found a few small bags filled with seeds of many types.Before, he never cared about them because the soil in his backyard had turned useless long ago and thus there was no need to use these seeds ever again.But now that

Pet?
He did not notice Caesar's expression which was darkening every time he addressed Hearthe as a 'pet'.How could a random man address his lovely and adorable daughter as a mere pet?The neighbor, however, did not mind nor care about the lack of reply as he continued looking around in search of the so-called new pet that Caesar had got.After all, there are more than eighty percent of chances that this pet was the one responsible for destroying the compound wall of their house.The wall, which had always been the best background one could get for his picturesque garden, was now rammed into, almost broken and was full of cracks making it look gruesome.To make his garden look even more beautiful, he had called the best painter in the town nearby and got him to paint with beautiful and exotic plants and flowers all over it.After paying so much money, his wall made the perfect background for his garden.Yet today once he got home after work, he found it shattered with a few pieces of bric

Though he was angry, he did not say anything back about it.He was visibly wary of Caesar during his conversation while also showing a hint of displeasure towards him.He clearly had a contradictory attitude towards Caesar that anyone would have been confused looking at him."There is an accident at my home," The neighbor said."Do I look like I care?" Caesar asked back. Why did this weirdo come to complain about some accident at his home to him?The neighbor was furious at his attitude again, "Who asked for your stupid care?"Caesar really did not want to deal with this stupid man any longer. Without saying anything, he pushed his door in order to close it on the other man's face.Before he could accomplish the task, the neighbor placed his leg in between the door and pushed it using his body making it difficult to close it.Now it was Caesar's turn to be furious as he roared out loud, "What do you want?""Why are you closing the door to my face?

Beautiful artifact
Caesar couldn't bear to see the crack on the wooden wall that she had selected for him specially.He thus looked at Hearthe and asked her softly, "Hearthe, do you have any idea how to make this one better?"Once he asked he somehow felt stupid. How could Hearthe do anything about it?If it was a plant or a tree, she may help. But this was just a wooden plank that was already cut off a tree so many years ago. How could any of Hearthe's powers be helpful with this?He shook his head and softly said, "It's okay. Don't mind me. I just asked a stupid question."Hearthe had already crawled up the wall and started circling around the crack when he looked at her after speaking.As he was looking at what she was doing, he saw a few small pieces of branches- or rather vines, considering the thinness of them- sprouting out of the wood on the wall.All the vines started moving and combined themselves. It looked like they were gracefully dancing to a melodic music as they entangled amongst themsel

"Hmm, I have a strong baby."Hearthe understood that her Father praised her again and couldn't help feeling happy. It once again started dancing using its long body, making Caesar laugh at her."Grrr…" The father daughter duo froze in their spots as soon as they heard the growling.Caesar was embarrassed at the sound and he lowered his head to look at his stomach that just made the sound.Hearthe, on the other hand, felt worried for her father and crawled to take back the piece of legume root that she spat away just a minute ago.She took the root and presented it to her father like a treasure as if saying, 'Father, eat this and be healthy'."..."Caesar did not know if he should laugh or cry. He looked at the root in Hearthe's mouth, which looked as slimy as his daughter and extended his hand.To not make his daughter feel upset, he wanted to take it, but in the end he couldn't bring himself to take it from her.He softly spoke to Hearthe, who looked confused by why her father did no
