Chapter 724: Gods Growth ③ (1/2)
I was sitting on the sofa in a room with the setting sun shining in, thinking. That introduction meeting with my parents and my lovers earlier…… I'd say that the result was generally in the right direction, but there are still a few problems.
Regarding Alice, rather than not having any problems, I knew from the beginning that she wouldn't trust Mom and Dad just after the first meeting. Alice seemed to be feeling a little guilty about that, but her actions at that time was something I had already expected.
From what I've heard so far, Alice has lived for a long time, probably even older than Kuro, second only to Shiro-san among the people I know. I wonder if that could be the reason why? She basically doesn't trust people she's never met before.
She's like that not only to Mom and Dad…… That was how she acted even when we first met. From what she told me, at first, Alice was trying to determine if I could save Kuro, and of course, she didn't trust me at first either.
In some cases, I heard that she was even thinking of pulling me away from Kuro…… but such a thought apparently disappeared when we went to the Archlesia Empire together.
It takes Alice a while to become friendly with someone she has never met before. But after a few times of contact with her, her attitude will gradually soften.
When Aoi-chan asked Alice to teach her about Golem Magic back then, she didn't just bluntly refuse her, but offered her an alternative instead, and lately, she even seems to be starting to trust Lilia-san to a certain extent.
Well, anyway, I'm sure Alice will get along with Mom and Dad as time passes, so there isn't a problem in that regard at all.
……The problem was with Fate-san. Fate-san was probably trying to step up for my sake, but she hasn't really been successful. I told Mom and Dad about this too, and they both said that they would also like to be friends with Fate-san if they could.
Fate-san and my parents, mediating their relationship…… I know I should step in here and support them but…… I can't think of a way to do that.
Hmmm, it would be great if the three of them get along if possible, but I don't know if there's anything I can do……
Unnn, that's right. If I just think about this by myself, I may not get a good answer. This is where I should consult other people's opinions.
Thinking of consulting someone, I slowly got up and walked out of the room.
The first people I approached were Eta and Theta, who I happened to meet while they were cleaning.
[I see…… Would this be settled if they ”talked with their fists”?]
[I think so too…… desu. You can get along with anyone after exchanging fists…… desu.]
[…………………]
I completely forgot, these two used to be War King's subordinates…… members of a group filled with muscleheads. Even the method they proposed feels like it was straight out of a shonen manga.
Speaking of which, whenever they had a disagreement, they would start fighting…… Even though they look different from Megiddo-san's other subordinates, the both of them might be muscleheads too.
Telling Eta and Theta that ”I'll use their answers for reference”, I walked around the mansion again…… and saw Luna-san leaning against the wall of her hallway, crossing her arms in a strange pose.
Seeing her like that, I ignored her without hesitation and continued down the hallway.
[W- Wait right there, Miyama-sama! Why are you ignoring me!?]
[No, I just had a hunch…… So, what do you want?]
When Luna-san flusteredly stopped me on my tracks, I responded to her with a slightly astounded expression on my face. Thereupon, Luna-san smiled, pointed at me and declared.
[I've heard the story! I have a great ide———–]
[No, thank you.]
[———-Why!?]
[No, well, I don't think I'd get any constructive feedback from you……]
[Aren't you being too harsh with me lately, Miyama-sama!?]
To be honest, I can't really expect much from this person, but even so, there may be a one in a billion chance that she will give a valid opinion.
[……Okay, let me ask you then. What kind of method do you have in mind?]
