Chapter 108

Blacksmith & appraiser [Solar Wind]

After stopping the war between Deiruheido and Azeshion I went home to eat my moms dinner . Ray, Misha and the others, as well as Eleonor, also came along .

But it turned out fine in the end . Deiruheido and Azeshion went to war but didnt Arnos-chan and the others go to Gairadeite for an academy exchange? Mom was really anxious and worried I thought you might have been caught up in the war . . (Isabella)

My mom has tears in her eyes and they are also red and swollen . She must have been crying a lot .

See? I said hed be okay . We dont need to worry about Arnos . (Gusta)

Un, thats right . I believed Arnos-chan would certainly come back (Isabella)

My mom starts crying again and my dad just laughs with a look on his face that says it cant be helped .

That reminds me, where were you during the war? You couldnt have been in the hero academy . Did you hide somewhere or have you just come back on your own? It is you after all . (Gusta)

Fumu . As expected father, you dont understand .

I was in the Tora forest until a while ago . (Arnos)

Oh I see . The Tora forest . hmm? (Gusta)

Doubt enters my dads face and he tilts his head .

If Im not mistaken isnt the Tora forest the border between Deiruheido and Azeshion . . ? (Gusta)

It said on the magic broadcast that the Tora forest had become the battlefront . (Isabella)

My mom looked at me with a fearful expression .

Mom . Dad . I want you both to listen to me calmly . (Arnos)

Nows a good a time as any . Ill calmly fill them in on the basics .

Uuuuuuuu! Mother is always calm!! (Isabella)

My mom forcefully nods a number of times .

You dont look very calm .

Aaaaaaaaaaah! Your dad is always calm and composed! (Gusta)

My dads whole body is shaking . Im not sure if hes upset or its something else .

Fumu . Do you both want to calm down a little bit more? You cant accept reality at the moment . (Arnos)

Its fine, its fine . Mother figured it out . (Isabella)

My moms expression is that of someone who has prepared themselves .

Mother already knows . (Isabella)

Knows what? (Arnos)

Arnos-chan isnt a normal child . (Isabella)

I see . A lot has happened in a short space of time after all . Even my mom cant fail to notice that .

. . Why did Arnos-chan want to come to Deiruheido? Why did you want to go to the demon king academy? Why did you say your name as soon as you were born? It cant all be coincidental . (Isabella)

My mom seems to be persuading herself more than anything .

So its okay . Im prepared for anything . (Isabella)

My moms strong . She doesnt understand anything but shes always watching me .

Ill tell you then . (Arnos)

Okay . (Isabella)

Its not really important but first off Ill tell you where I was and what I was doing before I came here (Arnos)

My mom looks at me with eyes that say she is ready to accept anything . At the moment she shouldnt be daunted by my words .

I stopped the war . (Arnos)

My mom fainted .

Oi, hey, Isabella . You okay? (Gusta)

My dad supports her and desperately calls out to my unconscious mom .

Ah . . yeah . . huh? What happened? Arnos-chan said something important and then afterwards? (Isabella)

Mom has lost her memory .

But it feels like a bad dream . Arnos-chan went to war . But that cant happen as Arnos-chan isnt even 3 months old yet . . (Isabella)

You cant accept reality at all .

Was it wrong to talk about the war first?

Lets change the story . Youve both lived in Deiruheido for a while now and have learnt about the mazoku and the great war from 2000 years ago . (Arnos)

My mom nods with a serious face .

Im the reincarnated demon king of tyranny . (Arnos)

My mom faints .

Oi, oii, again? You okay Isabella? Hey, stay strong . Its only a shallow wound . (Gusta)

Theres no wounds dad .

. I had a dream . (Isabella)

My mom comes round and starts muttering like she delirious .

I dreamt Arnos-chan became the demon king of tyranny . . The person who started the war between Deiruheido and Azeshion . . Everyone was judging Arnos-chan as a war criminal . (Isabella)

It seems the shock was so great her memory has been altered when she fainted .

What are you going to do about this since the spirit god sword cut off your destiny? (Sasha)

Sasha complains to me while looking at Ray .

Even if you look at me, Im troubled as well . (Ray)

Ray smiles bitterly .

I thought heroes were good at talking? Cant you do something with that spirit god sword? (Sasha)

Evans Mana doesnt work on those who are holy . Cant you do something with your <Demon Eyes of Ruin>? (Ray)

Unfortunately, I already tried that . (Sasha)

My subordinates have already raised the white flag and surrendered .

Its pretty impressive that Rays heart that couldnt be broken by any war was broken instantly here .

I never had this much trouble 2000 years ago either .

Now then . What can I do about this?

I know what Arnos-chan wants to say . (Isabella)

What?

While I was thinking about what to do my moms took the initiative and

Theyve increased . A new child . (Isabella)

My moms eyes have latched onto Eleonor .

Nn? (Arnos)

Eleonor looked around restlessly before realising my moms eyes were on her .

Wa? Do you mean me? (Eleonor)

My mom nods with a smile .

This is bad . Ive lost the initiative .

Mom I havent told you my story ye (Arnos)

What did Eleonor-chan say to Arnos-chan to bring you here? (Isabella)

My mom is suspicious .

Well, various things . (Eleonor)

Various things . . !? (Isabella)

My moms delusions take off .

What like? For example? (Isabella)

I was told Youre my magic . (Eleonor)

Noooooooooooooooooo!! Arnos-chans pickup lines have been refined!! (Isabella)

While my mom is screaming my dad is trembling while looking at me .

Yyoyou you When did you become such an advanced level . ! (Gusta)

My mom leans over the table and talks to Eleonor .

Other than that what else did you talk about!? (Isabella)

Lets see . Briefly put I was told we could all be happy together . I knew Arnos-kun was being serious so I decided to follow him . (Eleonor)

My dad opens his mouth gapingly and looks at my mom fearfully .

Everyone together . . ? (Isabella)

My moms eyes have become hollow .

. . An illegitimate child . !? (Isabella)

Here it comes . My moms principle destroying sword .

How many children are there!?

Eh? Children? Zeshia? Roughly around ten thousand at the moment . (Eleonor)

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!? (Isabella)

Ten thousaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand!!! (Gusta)

My parents went off in different directions .

But, but 10,000 is strange right? They arent by Arnos-chan right? (Isabella)

Aaaaaaah! 10,000 . Even if it takes 10 times to conceive thats 100,000 times . !? Such experience (Gusta)

My dad clenches his fist and grinds his teeth .

Im not jealous (Gusta)

Fumu . Did they notice it? Its not even possible to conceive that many children so it can only be by magic .

I was going to talk about it later but Im not going to make any excuses . Its my responsibility . Ill take care of everyone . (Arnos)

. Acknowledgeit . !? (Isabella)

My dad starts muttering .

You . youre a man Arnos . . (Gusta)

I will make up for the mistakes Ive made . (Arnos)

. MistakesArnos-chan mistakes . Its not even been 3 months . (Isabella)

My moms head sways and she staggers .

. What do you want Arnos-chan to do Eleonor-chan? You want Arnos-chan to take responsibility and get married right? (Isabella)

Eh? Responsibility? *giggle* I dont need that . I think youve both misunderstood . Were not in that kind of relationship . Its just that Arnos-kun was kind to me . (Eleonor)

. . Con . . Concubine . !? (Isabella)

While leaking out a small voice my mom faints for the third time .

Oi, oii . . !! (Gusta)

My dad quickly supports my mom who was about to fall out of her chair .

Oh dear, this is troubling . Well, shes been under a lot of strain due to that war . Ill put her to bed for today (Gusta)

My dad picks up my mom and leaves the room .

Ill help you . (Arnos)

I chase after my dad but he says .

No its fine . Youve worked hard too . Take a rest . (Gusta)

I see . (Arnos)

As I was about to head back my dad had an expression that said he wanted to say something .

What is it dad? (Arnos)

Aah, no Well . You dont seem bothered that you were dragged into that war and youve said some strange things today . More so than normal . Dont worry . Your mom will be back to normal tomorrow . (Gusta)

I see . (Arnos)

It feels like my mom was being her usual self though .

However .

In other words, you do understand it dad? (Arnos)

That youre the demon king of tyranny and that you stopped the war? (Gusta)

I nod .

Arnos . (Gusta)

My dad has an unprecedented serious look on his face .

I didnt tell you . Dad has been silent all this time . (Gusta)

Tell me what?

My dad has a painful expression on his face . The eyes looking at me are somehow different from my usual dad .

I was a soldier 2000 years ago . . (Gusta)

What?

My dad is a reincarnated person .

Even facing him this close though I cant feel any magic power . Is he using concealment magic that stops even my eyes from peering into his abyss?

With that type of skill, it would be a name I was familiar with .

I mean Ray ended up being Kanon so its certainly possible .

What was your name 2000 years ago? (Arnos)

My dads face took on a shadowy expression .

Annihilation sword king Gaderahipto . (Gusta)

Dont know it .

Do you know what youre going through is called in Azeshion? (Gusta)

My dad looks at me proudly and says .

Chuunibyou . (Gusta)

I guess my parents principle destroying sword came right here at the end .
