Blacksmith & appraiser [Solar Wind]
After stopping the war between Deiruheido and Azeshion I went home to eat my mom’s 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 didn’t 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 he’d be okay . We don’t need to worry about Arnos . ” (Gusta)
“Un, that’s right . I believed Arnos-chan would certainly e back……” (Isabella)
My mom starts crying again and my dad just laughs with a look on his face that says it can’t be helped .
“That reminds me, where were you during the war? You couldn’t have been in the hero academy . Did you hide somewhere or have you just e back on your own? It is you after all . ” (Gusta)
Fumu . As expected father, you don’t understand .
“I was in the Tora forest until a while ago . ” (Arnos)
“Oh I see . The Tora forest… . hmm…?” (Gusta)
Doubt enters my dad’s face and he tilts his head .
“If I’m not mistaken isn’t the Tora forest the border between Deiruheido and Azeshion… . . ?” (Gusta)
“It said on the magic broadcast that the Tora forest had bee the battlefront… . ” (Isabella)
My mom looked at me with a fearful expression .
“Mom . Dad . I want you both to listen to me calmly . ” (Arnos)
Now’s a good a time as any . I’ll calmly fill them in on the basics .
“Uuuuuuuu! Mother is always calm!!” (Isabella)
My mom forcefully nods a number of times .
You don’t look very calm .
“Aaaaaaaaaaah! Your dad is always calm and posed!” (Gusta)
My dad’s whole body is shaking . I’m not sure if he’s upset or its something else .
“Fumu . Do you both want to calm down a little bit more? You can’t accept reality at the moment . ” (Arnos)
“It’s fine, it’s fine . Mother figured it out . ” (Isabella)
My mom’s expression is that of someone who has prepared themselves .
“Mother already knows . ” (Isabella)
“Knows what?” (Arnos)
“Arnos-chan isn’t a normal child . ” (Isabella)
I see . A lot has happened in a short space of time after all . Even my mom can’t fail to notice that .
“… . . Why did Arnos-chan want to e 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 can’t all be coincidental . ” (Isabella)
My mom seems to be persuading herself more than anything .
“So it’s okay . I’m prepared for anything . ” (Isabella)
My mom’s strong . She doesn’t understand anything but she’s always watching me .
“I’ll tell you then . ” (Arnos)
“Okay . ” (Isabella)
“It’s not really important but first off I’ll 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 shouldn’t 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 can’t happen as Arnos-chan isn’t even 3 months old yet… . . ” (Isabella)
You can’t accept reality at all .
Was it wrong to talk about the war first?
“Let’s change the story . You’ve 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 .
“I’m the reincarnated demon king of tyranny . ” (Arnos)
My mom faints .
“Oi, oii, again? You okay Isabella? Hey, stay strong . It’s only a shallow wound . ”(Gusta)
There’s no wounds dad .
“… . I had a dream… . ” (Isabella)
My mom es 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 plains to me while looking at Ray .
“Even if you look at me, I’m troubled as well . ” (Ray)
Ray smiles bitterly .
“I thought heroes were good at talking? Can’t you do something with that spirit god sword?” (Sasha)
“Evans Mana doesn’t work on those who are holy . Can’t you do something with your ?” (Ray)
“Unfortunately, I already tried that . ” (Sasha)
My subordinates have already raised the white flag and surrendered .
It’s pretty impressive that Ray’s heart that couldn’t 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—
“They’ve increased . A new child . ” (Isabella)
My mom’s eyes have latched onto Eleonor .
“Nn?” (Arnos)
Eleonor looked around restlessly before realising my mom’s eyes were on her .
“Wa? Do you mean me?” (Eleonor)
My mom nods with a smile .
This is bad . I’ve lost the initiative .
“Mom I haven’t 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 mom’s delusions take off .
“What like? For example?” (Isabella)
“I was told ‘You’re my magic’ . ” (Eleonor)
“Noooooooooooooooooo!! Arnos-chan’s pickup lines have been refined!!” (Isabella)
While my mom is screaming my dad is trembling while looking at me .
“Y…yo…you you…… When did you bee 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)
“Let’s 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 mom’s eyes have bee hollow .
“… . . An illegitimate child… . !?” (Isabella)
Here it es . My mom’s 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 aren’t by Arnos-chan right?” (Isabella)
“Aaaaaaah! 10,000 . Even if it takes 10 times to conceive that’s 100,000 times… . !? Such experience……” (Gusta)
My dad clenches his fist and grinds his teeth .
“I’m not jealous……” (Gusta)
Fumu . Did they notice it? It’s not even possible to conceive that many children so it can only be by magic .
“I was going to talk about it later but I’m not going to make any excuses . It’s my responsibility . I’ll take care of everyone . ” (Arnos)
“…… . Acknowledge……it…… . !?” (Isabella)
My dad starts muttering .
“You… . you’re a man Arnos… . . ” (Gusta)
“I will make up for the mistakes I’ve made . ” (Arnos)
“…… . Mistakes……Arnos-chan…… mistakes…… . It’s not even been 3 months… . ” (Isabella)
My mom’s 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 don’t need that . I think you’ve both misunderstood . Were not in that kind of relationship . It’s 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, she’s been under a lot of strain due to that war . I’ll put her to bed for today” (Gusta)
My dad picks up my mom and leaves the room .
“I’ll help you . ” (Arnos)
I chase after my dad but he says .
“No it’s fine . You’ve 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 don’t seem bothered that you were dragged into that war and you’ve said some strange things today . More so than normal . Don’t 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 you’re 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 didn’t 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 can’t 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 it’s certainly possible .
“What was your name 2000 years ago?” (Arnos)
My dad’s face took on a shadowy expression .
“Annihilation sword king Gaderahipto . ” (Gusta)
Don’t know it .
“Do you know what you’re going through is called in Azeshion?” (Gusta)
My dad looks at me proudly and says .
“Chuunibyou . ” (Gusta)
I guess my parent’s principle destroying sword came right here at the end .
