Discussion with the Parent and Child with Disclosure
It was three days later that Maria decided to have a discussion.
I asked her to wait two more days.
This time, I wanted to have a certain person present at the discussion in order to prepare myself for various things.
The meeting was held in the reception room of the annex building.
Unlike the main building, this room had a normal table and chairs.
Is it more like an interview room? No, it is a simple room with no decorations, more like a servant's meeting room.
Five people including myself are sitting here.
The room feels a little small with five people in it, but it's quiet enough to be perfect for a secret discussion.
The old maid, Martha, prepared some tea and left the room.
The five of us remain silent for a while.
Today, Maria-san and Rain-chan, the parent and child of the matter, are here. And Sebas and me.
And this time, Grandma Fel was invited to join us.
I broke the silence and began to speak.
"First of all, Maria-san. Thank you for coming to the discussion. And Grandma Fel. Thank you for forcing yourself to come. I have something important to talk about today, so I want Grandma Fel to listen too."
"What's wrong? The water smells bad, Light-boy."
Grandma Fel said that and smiled.
"This time, I will talk about Maria-san and Rain-chan, but I don't want them to be the only ones to tell their secrets. I'm going to tell you my secret here, too. I want Grandma Fel to be my witness."
"Is that something I don't know?"
That's what Sebas asked, and I nodded back with a serious expression.
"Is it all right if I listened to it?"
Sebas asked again.
"Yeah. I want you to listen to me. I think it will give me more credibility when we talk about this parent and child."
This time, Sebas nodded seriously.
"It's important when it comes to things that Sebas-san doesn't know."
Grandma Fel said that and drank her tea.
I waited until she finished drinking before speaking.
"First of all, about me. Did you know that there is a high rank in the skill of [Appraisal]?"
Sebas and Grandma Fel nodded in response, but the parent and child didn't seem to know.
"It's said that its very existence is doubtful, but... I can't believe it, you, Light-boy..."
"That's right, Grandma Fel. I have [God's Eye] which is a higher level skill of [Appraisal]."
Sebas and Grandma Fel were very surprised by this, but the parent and child still didn't understand.
"I want Granny Fel to look at me with your [Appraisal]. Now, you will know that I have the [God’s Eye] skill."
After saying that, Grandma Fel brought her face closer to me and looked at me intently.
Then, after taking a deep breath, Grandma Fell admitted.
"Indeed... [Appraisal] skill has become [God's Eye]. It makes sense that Light-boy's various views are correct..."
Apparently, she was convinced with everything that had just happened.
I will explain the [God's Eye] skill in detail.
"This [God's Eye] skill is not just for [Appraisal]. It allows you to see in more detail, and if it's a person, you can also read their thoughts, past, and emotions at that time. Honestly, it's so powerful that it's scary."
Maria-san was more surprised by this than Sebas and Grandma Fel. Perhaps more frightened than surprised.
As soon as I explained the skill, Maria-san turned pale.
Sebas and Grandma Fel were surprised, but looked more satisfied.
"And I have one more hidden skill."
Everyone except me is holding their breath at this.
I looked around at all the faces of the people who probably couldn't imagine any skill...... greater than [God's Eye].
"I am a Demon King."
Everyone held their breath at these words and were at a loss for words.
"Grandma Fel... check it out."
Grandma Fel, who came to her senses after hearing those words, looked at me again and nodded silently.
I expected the silence to continue, so I decided to get to the main topic of conversation.
"Now, let's get down to business here. Now I'm going to talk about Maria-san and Rain-chan, who I saw with [God's Eye]. After that, I'd like to discuss the future of the two of them."
Sebas and Grandma Fel silently nodded, but Maria-san looked pale and tried to say something, opening and closing her mouth.
I looked at Maria-san and answered gently to reassure her.
"I won't say anything that will cause any inconvenience to Maria-san, so please listen to it."
When I said that, she closed her mouth and looked down.
"First of all, Maria-san became mana deficient because she gave birth to Rain-chan. Sebas and Rain-chan know about this. I'm sure Maria-san has some idea of this."
Maria-san nodded silently at this.
"I see... this child has a [Hero Vessel]..."
That's what Grandma Fel said, but I denied it.
"No... Grandma Fel. Rain-chan isn't a [Vessel]... she's a [Hero] itself..."
Grandma Fel is surprised by these words.
Then, she approaches Rain-chan and looked with her [Appraisal].''
Then she muttered, [No way...] and fell silent again.
Of course, Maria-san was surprised to learn that she was a [Hero].
I continued.
"If I let Rain-chan go outside like this, not only the Kingdom but also the Holy Country may get involved. That's how dangerous Rain-chan's life is."
This is good because both Sebas and Grandma Fel seem to have thoughts about it, but the problem is Maria-san and Rein-chan.
The two of them had pale faces...
"No way... Rain is..."
"I... I don't like it... Mother..."
Rain-chan clings to her mother, Maria-san, as if overwhelmed by anxiety...
I don't want to talk about it in a moment like this, but I have no choice but to continue.
"The problem isn't just Rain-chan. It's also you, Maria-san. Your mana deficiency hasn't been cured either. You can't live in such a state while paying back. Besides, I have the [God's Eye]. I know how hard you've worked for Rain-chan. And I know how much you've struggled. I don't want to see you suffer any more."
Maria-san finally couldn't hold back anymore and started crying. Rain-chan was also moved by her tears......
I talked to both of them.
Trying to be as gentle and reassuring as possible, and hoping that this parent and child will be saved...
"So... Would you like to live with me? I want to protect you and your child. I want you to be happy. I will take care of you for all the hardships you have gone through. I swear to you as a [Demon King]. So......"
Before I knew it, I was crying...
Why is it so……
The fact that I cried must have come as a surprise to both Sebas and Grandma Fel.
The two hugged me and rubbed my back soothingly.
I realized that I cried for the first time since I came to this world...
Thanks for the update
