Chapter 253 (Self Edited) The One who Inherits the Blood of the Demon King Part 1

Aina perfectly understood the meaning of inheriting the blood of the Demon King, probably after the Demon King attacked the royal capital. No, to be exact, she was right in the midst of understanding it.

Aina saw the Demon King only in a distance. It was a distance that she couldnt recognize the face, but she understood at that moment.

She thought I see. It was like a feeling of being cooled off after looking at something from above.

And at the same time, she understood. The blood of that was flowing to me.

By the way, her fathers reaction when she confirmed it was as follows.

Hmm? Aah, that reminds me, I didnt mention that. (Iori)

Aina thought that her parents werent bad even though she was concerned.

Anyhow

Rather, I thought you would be aware of it normally. (Iori)

Why is that? (Aina)

Although she glared at him with the feeling of there was nothing to make her aware, her father shrugged lightly. Then, he continued with a tone that reminded her of common sense.

Dont you know that Steina had the blood of the Demon King? Or rather she was made from the blood of the Demon King? Then, if you think what kind of relations.h.i.+p Beatrice, who Steina called Sister, is related to the Demon King, you will understand by yourself. It seems that the girl tries not to call her Sister, but sometimes she mentions it momentarily. Im sure you have heard it several times. (Iori)

Beatrice was Ainas mothers name, and although she was a child, she remembered that Steina occasionally, but rarely, called her mother that way. However, it didnt feel related at all, she couldnt make a connection from that. When she was told that, it was natural to notice it.

By the way, she learned that Steina was a homunculus made from the blood of the Demon King when she heard about various things from Steina and Soma at the Demon King castle. It wasnt shocking in itself. She only thought Is that so?, but after hearing various things, she seemed to be completely aware of the matter.

What the Arent you way too serious? Its good to be serious, but dont you think that youre sometimes unusually clumsy because of this? Its like youre thinking too much and your view becomes narrowed, or your thoughts are dispersed and you cant focus where you need them. (Iori)

That was what her father said. That made Aina lose her words again because this was the reason why he rushed out from the Demon King castle.

Although she was told that she shouldnt approach the castle because he was busy and didnt know what was going on, he went to Radeus secretly and met that guy quietly. So, why was she getting all these preaching?

Seriously?

I wonder if youre feeling nostalgic about it (Aina)

Certainly, that event happened two years ago, so it was correct to feel nostalgic, but for some reason, it felt different.

When Aina muttered such a thing and looked up at the sky while thinking, a wonderful blue sky spread there. However, she sighed because the scene didnt suit my current mood. Although she felt so at her own convenience, it couldnt be helped because she couldnt change the mood so easily like the weather.

Nevertheless, there was no meaning if she kept feeling hesitant. She let out a breath and looked down as if to change the mood. Then, she was in a familiar scene.

It was a training ground.

But, it was unusual that there was no one in the place, which was usually crowded with people. It was like just after the royal capital was attacked Actually, it wasnt.

If I have to say it, I dont know the scene of that time. (Aina)

At that time, she was with Soma in the Neumonts family mansion. Not to mention nostalgia, Aina squinted to remember at the scene of the distant past. It seemed like it happened a long time ago. Perhaps, it was because the current mood was close to what it was at that time.

Soma had a feeling that Aina at that time would be depressed because the Academy was destroyed, but in reality, it was different. Well, Aina didnt say that she wasnt depressed at all, and it was true that when she thought about it from the beginning, she didnt feel good at all.

In the meantime, she noticed something else. That was the fact that the blood of the Demon King was flowing in her. Strictly speaking, she noticed it, but soon, stopped worrying about it.

It was obvious, so it didnt matter. More importantly, she considered that it wasnt something she should care about at present. However, she wondered if it would be something different. Actually, she had always been unconsciously worried about it.

For example, what if she didnt do it seriously and the damage on the Academy became worse? Or what if she caused extra damage to the surrounding by putting wasted effort? What would happen after that?

She didnt have the intention to cause damage. However, she wasnt confident to come up with answers. Speaking whether it was possible or not to come with answers, yes, it was possible.

If she had to say something, it was just that she was concerned about the event at that time. However, that wasnt the case. It might not fit on its own.

Aina had the blood of the Demon King. It was an undeniable fact that the Demon King was the one who caused chaos in the Radeus Kingdom, and it was said that the country would be destroyed if Soma wasnt there.

She wanted to say that she wouldnt do the same thing.

If a parent was evil, their child wasnt necessarily evil. It was a matter of a parent. But, it couldnt be denied that it was impossible for the child to be evil like the parent. It also couldnt be said that such feelings wouldnt sprout one day.

Well, Im going to deny that rubbish talk. (Aina)

That was why her father treated her as a clumsy person. When she thought again, it was true that she was needlessly overthinking about something that was pointless to think.

If she was going to deny it, everyone would also do the same thing. And the next moment, they would say it wasnt strange.

But Aina was told this by her father.

If she couldnt believe herself, it couldnt be helped. So

Hmm? When I think if theres something interesting today is it just you, AIna? (Soma)

And she heard a voice.

The appearance in the field of view was as expected, but Aina had to put a bit of effort here. The person who she was thinking of had just arrived, so she had tightened up her loose mouth a bit more tightly.

She opened her mouth a little so it didnt look loosened. Then, she opened her mouth while raising her eyebrows, so that she looked moody.

What the isnt that supposed to be my words? To begin with, I was wondering if theres something interesting today, but huh its just you, Soma. (Aina)
