Chapter 37 - Grayfia's Care and Rey's Parents?

Three days after the meeting with the Four Devil Kings, I will start having tutoring for exam preparation.

Today, Grayfia-san will come to Mephisto-jiisama's villa to start teaching me.

Meanwhile, Mephisto-jiisama himself wasn't here as he had to return to his busy life as the Chairman of the <<Grauzauberer>> magician organization. And he said that I can consider this villa as my own home before I have my own villa.

And while I was resting in the lounge with the three ladies after lunch, a maid informed that Grayfia Lucifuge had arrived. I asked her to let her in.

Shortly after, a woman who looked very much like Sakuya-san but had long braided hair, Grayfia-san, came into the lounge and greeted us.

"Good afternoon."

I stood up and greeted back.

"Good afternoon, Grayfia-san. Shall we start right away?"

"Yes. But before that...."

Grayfia-san gave a small nod at my question then looked at Scathach-sama and the other two.

"I want to talk to Rey privately. Can I?"

Hearing Grayfia-san's request, Sakuya-san hesitated a bit.

"Rey-sama...."

Hearing that, I feel a bit confused what to do.

But then, I spoke.

"Uhm.... How about you guys go sightseeing or something? Besides, it looks like Kulshedra-san is a bit bored from doing nothing."

I proposed with a slightly stiff smile to them.

Hearing my suggestion, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

But then, someone finally cracked it.

"Yeah~. Yeah~. I'm sooooooooo bored~.... Sakuya, Scathach, let's go shopping or something!"

Kulshedra-san then stood up and grabbed the hands of the other two to lead them away.

"Huh? Shopping? Do you guys have any money?"

"Let Mephisto pay the bill later."

"...."

I'm speechless and facepalmed hearing Kulshedra-san casually toss the responsibility.

"Uhh.... You'd better get a maid to accompany you."

"Yes~. Yes.~. You worry too much, My Master~. Later~."

Kulshedra-san said while still walking and waving casually without looking back.

"Hah~...."

I sighed.

How could I not worry, the three of them are unknown people who aren't devils but roaming the devil's capital. It was too conspicuous and suspicious.

I'm certainly not worried about anything happening to them, what I'm worried about is that if someone offends them, it will be troublesome surely. That's why I asked them to be accompanied by a maid in order to guide them while reducing the possibility of friction.

After the three women left, Grayfia-san drew closer to me.

"Grayfia-san, please sit down. We can start right away."

I invited Grayfia-san.

However, Grayfia-san gave an unexpected response instead.

"Rey!"

*hugs

Grayfia-san suddenly hugged me tightly!

"!!!???"

I'm surprised Grayfia-san suddenly did this.

And I didn't even speak or move a bit because I was confused about how to respond.

Even so, I understand why Grayfia-san is doing this. So, I finally chose to remain silent and let her be.

"...."

"...."

And after several minutes of being silently hugging, Grayfia-san finally let me go.

"Grayfia-san..."

Grayfia-san smiled gently at me then stroked my head.

"Rey, as you already know, I was your mother's best friend. In fact, I already considered her like a sister. So, you can consider me as your family/relative too. If you need my help, whatever it may be, don't hesitate to ask for it."

Hearing that statement and the care attitude she gives, I gave a small nod.

"Nn. Thank you."

After that, we started learning.

In the middle of lesson, Grayfia-san asks me.

"Rey, what do you know about your mother?"

"Hm?"

I, who was writing the answers to the mock-exam sheet, stopped for a moment.

"Hmm.... To be honest..., I didn't know much before I was told by Mephisto-jiisama. Not even the "Rofocale" name.... My mother never wanted to say much about herself. And she never wanted to answer if I asked about things that related to her past like her origins and such. All she ever confessed to me was that she was a Devil. And I was her son from a relationship with a Human."

"What about your father? What do you know?"

I shook my head answering the question.

"Almost none. I don't even know his name. For some reason, my mother didn't want to tell me or talk about my dad... I only know my father died in an accident when I was a few months old baby. Or at least that's what my mother always said. But I don't think she's lying about my father being dead."

"...."

Grayfia-san seemed silent in thought.

And then she asked again.

"Haven't you ever wondered about the real identity or origins of your mother or father?"

"Of course I did. And quite often actually. But in the end I just kept quiet. Because what was important to me was that my mother loved me and I lived peacefully and happily with her. That was enough for me. But unfortunately...."

I looked down a little because I was sad to remember that I had lost my mother.

"Rey...."

I raised my head again, shook my head, and smiled slightly seeing Grayfia-san's sympathetic expression.

"I'm alright."

Then I went back to answering the mock-exam questions.

Meanwhile, in those three days, news about Rey's arrival to the capital quickly spread among the upper echelon of Devils.
