Glutton Berserker ch.105

The happy moment.

Both Takami no Kago and GGC chapter should be ready next week.

Wish me luck so I can roll SSR on the FGOs new event rate-up, so I can post bonus chapter. Haha!

Roxy stared at me, her head slightly tilted. Well of course she would.

Because I suddenly stopped talking and kept looking behind her.

[Whats the matter?]

Returning my line of sight towards her, I almost panicked and thus pretended to clear my throat to settle myself down. At my lame attempt of covering my mistake, I could hear Greed laughing.

What a loser

However, I had no time to reply. Aisha-sama was already right behind Roxy. Now that I thought about it, since shes already this close, Roxy shouldve been able to sense her presence.

I had no idea how, but apparently Aisha-sama had some way to elude even a holy knights senses.

Oops.thats not something that I should think about right now.

I had no choice but proceed as planned.

[Roxy, close your eyes for a moment.]

[Whats the matter? Ah, I get it. Is it because of me mimicking you?]

[Weve through with that earlier. And no, thats not what I mean.]

[Or perhaps, you want to give me a present?]

Roxy looked at me with a face full of expectation. Shes partially correct, but also partially wrong.

So I nodded ambiguously.

[You dont seem quite certain. But no matter.. Alright!]

Even so, Roxy obediently closed her eyes. I remained silent as I switched place with Aisha-sama.

[What are you going to do anyways? Can I open my eyes already?]

[Just wait a little more!]

[Uuuuu.what on earth are you trying to do..]

Aisha-sama was standing before Roxy now. Preparations were completed!

I gave a hand signal to Aisha-sama, telling her that she could start any time. People around us seemed to have read our intentions. Meanwhile Aaron also watched from slightly further away with a smile on his face.

[Roxy, open your eyes]

[Finally. Now then, what is i.ah!!]

The girl was stunned, her mouth agape.

In contrast, Aisha-sama raised a peace sign, apparently very pleased with how the plan to surprise Roxy had gone successfully.

Looking back and forth, Roxy then settled to Aisha-sama.

[Mother, why!? Mother did told me on the last letter that youve felt much better, but it doesnt mean that Mother have to force yourself to attend here]

[Yes, I feel really well recently, thats why I come here to see my dear child.]

[Eeerrr, I really dont understand whats happening here.]

Roxy was clearly agitated. Aisha-sama used to not be able to move around without support, mostly because of her sickly condition.

If she suddenly became healthy out of nowhere, its only natural for other people to be surprised.

Although I was the one who healed Aisha-samas disease, Im also surprised by the abrupt change. Even Roxy who was informed about her mothers condition on daily basis was surprised, not to mention me.

Aisha-sama then said happily.

[I do not know the details, but Fate was the one who healed me.]

[Fai did!? What is this all about?]

[That is..]

Roxy grabbed my hand to prevent me from escaping. She wouldnt let me off before I gave her an explanation. I could tell that much from how she looked at me.

Thinking that its not such a big deal, I smiled as I pull out Greed from his scabbard.

And then changing the form from a black sword to a black staff.

[You told me before that he can change shape. Other than this staff, there are bow, scythe, and shield?]

[Thats right. This form was unlocked thanks to the stats I obtained from killing Tenryu.]

[Its from that time]

For some reason, Roxy seemed happy.

Back then at Gallia, I hid my face behind the skull mask, but mask couldnt endure Tenryus attack. I was reminded of that time when my face was exposed.

When she saw my face, Roxy broke in tears. At that time, regardless of what happened, I felt my chest tighten. The memory was still fresh in my mind, as if it happened only yesterday.

Could it be that, I didnt give up back then just so I could see Roxys gentle smile again..?

I needed to thank Roxy for that,

[Hold it right there. Have you two forgotten about me already?]

Aisha-sama came in between me and Roxy.

[Come come now, you two can go to your own world later]

[I guess so..right, Fai?]

[Un un, please stop with the teasing.]

Clearing my throat, I explained to both Roxy and Aisha-sama about the black staff.

[For example, this is Greeds fourth form. If I let him use up a certain amount of my statuses, Ill be able to use this forms secret technique. Different forms provides different secrets too.]

I proceed to explain about each form.

First rank (Demon Bow)s Bloody Ptarmigan can accurately decimate enemies from long range in a flash.

Second rank (Scythe)s Deadly Inferno can kill immortal beings by striking the point where their magical power was concentrated.

Third rank (Demon Shield)s Reflect Fortress can be used to reflect back several targeted attacks.

And then, the fourth rank (Demon Staff)s Twilight Healing can heal any wounds and diseases.

Roxy silently nodded after hearing my explanation.

[I see, so youve used Twilight Healing to cure my mothers sickness. Thank you, FaiI was worried for a while there when I saw mother acting so energetic.]

[I also felt the same. I never thought that Aisha-sama would be like this shortly after I healed her.]

[Mouu, look at you two. Shouldnt you be happy seeing me healthy and energetic like this?]

Just then, Roxy knitted her eyebrows.

[Then, please stop treating your daughter like this.]

[Uuuu, but its suppose to be a surprise. Fate also thought so too.]

[Ee..U~n.tha, thats right.]

[Wait a minute, the way you say it, itll seem like I forced you into it, moouu]

But she did force me into it, not to mention she didnt even let me say no. Well, the problem would just get bigger if I said that out loud, so lets just follow along.

[Aisha-sama only wanted to let Roxy know that shes already healthy enough to leave the territory. After all, its hard to tell her real condition even if she wrote in the letter that shed been feeling better recently.]

[If Fai say so. But, this makes me happy. Ive always been worried about mothers condition..]

Roxy said so while shedding a lot of tears. Soon after, Aisha-sama also followed suit. This was getting out of hand.

The pair of mother and daughter calmed down after a while, then thanked me once more. I didnt do that for their gratitude, but nobody wouldnt feel happy from being appreciated for something theyd done.

But seeing how happy Roxy was when she knew that Aisha-sama was healthy once again, I thought its all well worth it.

Whilst I returned Greed to his scabbard after reverting him back to sword form, Roxy asked me casually.

[How much is the status consumption for activating the secret? Being able to do that much, it must be a lot, isnt it?

[Well, I guess so. I have to give up 40% of my statuses to be able to use Twilight Healing.]

[40%how much was that?]

I was a little lost at words because I used quite a huge amount of stat to heal Aisha-sama, but Ive decided to be honest with Roxy. So I told her the consumed stats without covering anything.

And then, not only Roxy, even Aisha-sama was amazed.

[You must be lying. Fate, is that true?]

[Yeah, its true]

[Because, thats 4 million status we are talking abouttoo many digits, its overwhelming!]

[Mother, calm down! Fai did killed Tenryu, he probably obtained a lot of status from doing so. So he could use that much without regret..]

After calming the panicked Aisha-sama down, Roxy had a convinced look on her face. She then told me in a proud face.

[I think I understand now]

[Ee, about what?]

[The reason why mother becomes so energetic. Probably, its because the excess stats (obtained from Tenryu) that was used to activate Twilight Healing.]

[You have a point there]

As Roxy suggested, its possible. All of Greeds secrets were powerful abilities. Since Twilight Healing was currently the highest ranked secret, healing sickness or wound might be only the small extent of it. After all, it required Area E level stats to be used.

I dont think that diseases and wounds can be healed just like that. Aisha-samas stats should be on an amazing level already. But even if I said that, I didnt want to check it without permission. That what Ive decided when I started working for the Heart Family.

The over energetic Aisha-sama, after scolding Roxy and me a little, went to greet the other party attendees.

[Such a noisy mother]

Roxy said so peacefully while seeing her mother from the distance.

Compared to when I first saw the sickly appearance of Aisha-sama, this was much better. Originally, Aisha-sama mightve ended up dying from her sickness. Even so, even if its actually the destiny that gods had decided upon her, I had no regrets in changing that.

I thought so as I looked at todays Aisha-sama.
