CH-11.2

"…Nn…"

"Mouuuuu! Telepathy! Perfect affinity right from the beginning! Fated love…"

My mother is now in her own world with an entranced expression on her face and does not appear to be coming out of it any time soon.

"Then, then…have you…you know…two people…have you kissed?"

Alright. This is the question I need. I can explain the truth with this. If you've never kissed how can you be lovers?

"…We haven't…"

"Ehhhhhhhhhh, are you waiting for marriage? Romantiiiiiiiic!!"

*Chi* so that's what it came to.

"What will you do? Arnos-chan is only 1 month old. It's a while until he's of marriageable age. It's quite a wait."

"…1 month…?"

"That's right. Are you surprised? Arnos-chan's really smart. He could talk as soon as he was born. He could use magic too. He grew big using Growth 「Crest」."

Misha quietly stares at me.

[Editor's widom : A bit late in the day but I want to point out Arno's speech and thoughts. It's hard to translate properly but he speaks and thinks in a very manly/rough/arrogant/rude manner normally. The exceptions are generally his parents and Misha who he's mostly polite with and shows respect. In this thought, he calls himself "this me" or "me-sama". A more direct but stilted translation would be Misha looks at me-sama. Moving forward I'll be looking how to make this more obvious with his speech and thoughts but it's hard thanks to Japanese and its different forms of address etc that just don't translate well or at all into English]

Even amongst mazoku, those that can use magic in their first month are quite rare. In other words, it's another piece of proof that I'm the reincarnated demon lord.

It will still take more than that to make people believe though. Resurrection magic wasn't something only the demon lord could use after all.

"…Eh? possibly? Misha-chan…are you worried about the age difference?"

My mother's thoughts are completely off the mark.

"…I don't mind…"

"Is that so? My husband is also younger. It's a good thing. Arnos-chan is so cute."

Misha turns to me.

"…Cute…?"

"Don't look at me with such eyes."

At this exchange, my mother pumps both her fists up and down.

"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! Nee nee, just now I heard it, I did [cute] and [don't look at me with such eyes]. You said it! Middle-aged couple? Are you a middle-aged coupleeeeeee!?"

My mothers incredibly excited while my dad is sitting there silently drinking his sake while nodding to my mother and staring off into the distance.

I had hoped that my mother would calm down soon but she's getting even more excited. She hasn't stopped to draw breath so I've had no chance to correct her about Misha.

Before anyone knew it dinner was over. Everyone was talking lively so it had become quite late.

I was taking Misha home halfway so we went outside.

"Give me your hand."

Misha grabs my hand obediently.

"I'll send you home with Transfer 「Gatom」"

"…Though you don't know where it is…?"

"Think of your home. I'll read your mind and send you there."

"…Can do that…?"

"Easily."

Misha stares at me.

"…Amazing…"

The place Misha was thinking of was transmitted to my head.

"Sorry about today."

Misha shakes her head.

"…Was fun…"

"Even so. After my parents calm down I'll correct them and let them know we are only friends."

"...Friends…?"

"Aah. You still have friends in this era right?"

Misha points to herself?

"…Friend…?"

"Am I wrong? Don't we have such a relationship?"

Misha shakes her head then smiles a pretty smile.

"…Happy…"

"I see."

"…Nn…"

I send power into my hand and use 「Gatom」

"Well then, I'll see you at school."

"...Goodbye…"

Misha disappeared.
