Chapter 382

Just Like That

Welcome back. I heard you have a guest with you is that person Allen-chan and Elena-chans father?

Eh?

Mu?

Uniyu?

When I brought Kaiser over to the Ruven residence to confirm with Rebecca-san if he could stay with us, Rebecca-san made a surprising remark when she saw Kaiser.

Kaisers hair color was slightly lighter than the childrens, but the color combination of his hair and eyes was indeed the same.

H, hes not!?

I hurriedly denied it.

Oh my, is that so? If he really was the father, I thought we could have a little chat I was so confused by the similarity of the coloring of the two that I was quick to a.s.sume that he was the father. Im sorry.

I was a little scared because Rebecca-sans eyes werent smiling as she laughed.

Rebecca-san seems like someone who would lecture even the Water G.o.d-sama. Well, I would also love to have a word or two with him, so I guess we are the same.

So, Tak.u.mi-san, who might this gentleman be? A friend of yours?

Hes my acquaintance and

I am Kaiser. Albeit only temporary, I have formed a contract with Tak.u.mi.

A contract?

Umu, I

Kaiser!

Mu?

Rebecca-san asked me about Kaiser and I started to talk to her to introduce him, but Kaiser himself came forward. Moreover, I told him to keep quiet about being a Leviathan, but I didnt mention anything about the contract, so Kaiser tried to introduce himself casually.

Tak.u.mi-san, what did he mean by contract?

Err, yo usee

I dont see you as a business person, so its not a sales contract or anything like that, is it?

I dont feel like I can fool Rebecca-san, no matter how well I try to explain it to her.

What do do? What do I say?

Sheesh, Tak.u.mi-san~ You have got a big wrinkle between your eyebrows. Dont be so anxious, I am definitely not trying to get it out of you, okay? I want you to stop lying and deceiving me, but Im not going to force you to reveal your secrets. So if you tell me honestly that you cant tell me, I wont ask any more, okay?

Rebecca-sans is so magnanimous I felt like crying.

Ah~ its going to be a tremendously shocking story, you see?

If Tak.u.mi-san is willing to talk about it, of course I will listen. If you dont want me to tell anyone, I wont leak it. But, Tak.u.mi-san, you dont have to force yourself to talk.

I trust you, Rebecca-san, as I trust the rest of the Ruven family, so I cant tell you everything but I would like to tell you what I can!

So we called Matthias-san and Wald-san over to introduce Kaiser once again.

Unfortunately, Velio-san and Almberia-san were not available, and Rosalie-san had just gotten married and I kept surprising her, so I decided to put them on hold, so it was just the three of them first.

Tak.u.mi, what did you do this time?

Wald-san spoke as if I have done something wrong as soon as he joined us.

Why are you a.s.suming that already!?

If anyone tells me they have something to say about you, of course I would a.s.sume you did something again.

Thats too terrible of you.

I didnt do anything, okay?

Im telling you, the children and your contracted beasts also belong to that area. Can you say again that you havent done anything?

If you say that, then I cant deny.

So you did something again! N? Ive never seen this one before. Is it something about him?

Yeah. Let me explain.

So I immediately told them about Kaiser in a direct manner.

Hes Kaiser. I will omitt his race, but Kaiser is a monster I formed a contract with.

Hah!?

The first to react was Wald-san. Matthias-san and Rebecca-san looked surprised without words.

Hes currently using a skill called Humanification to look like this.

As expected, I couldnt tell them about him being a Leviathan.

Humanification skill, huh so it really exists.

Are you aware of it?

I remember reading about it in an old lore book. One Tamers monster that turned into a human being saved the country, hundreds of years ago.

So there had been monsters that had been used Humanification and had been by peoples side before. Good thing there was a precedent!

That is incredible. So the Humanification skill can make you look perfectly human?

Rebecca-san seemed genuinely impressed.

By the way, Tak.u.mi. You said youre going to omit his race we already know about Fenrir and Celestial Tiger, but if youre going to keep quiet about his race, does that mean its even a bigger deal? Is that it?

Hahaha~

I got a sharp interjection from Wald-san.

Come to think of it, thats right~ Ive already divulged Fenrir, Celestial Tiger, and Scarlet King Leo, these big names, and to hide Kaisers race here is like saying hes a super big deal, isnt it~

Tak.u.mi. Why dont you just say it? These people are worthy of your trust, arent they? From now on, I plan to visit you guys often anyway.

I see, so Kaiser is planning to come by often? I didnt mean to exclude him from the group, but I somehow a.s.sumed that Kaiser would be just an occasional visitor.

What should I do, Wald Niisan?

Y, you, why do you call me your big brother only at times like this

I looked at Wald-san, not sure if I should tell them or not.

Lets see~ if hes even more incredible than Joule-chan and others is he perhaps a dragon?

Ohh~ great guess~

As Wald-san and I were engaged in a silent attack, Rebecca-san quietly mentioned her prediction. Then, Allen and Elena easily answered.

Without saying a word, I, Matthias-san and Wald-san looked at each other.

Then, there is a possibility that Joule-chan and the others will be able to take on human forms soon, no?

Ohh! Will they?

We now know that this skill exists, so the chance is not zero.

Cant wait!

The children and Rebecca-san were happily carrying on a conversation without regard to our reactions.

Rebecca-san, you really are a magnanimous person, with a lot of guts I once again reaffirmed that she was a really dependable person.
