Chapter 48 - Reapers (1) (2/2)

”By the way... Do not worry, son. You are blessed, the A.d.u.l.thood Ceremony will definitely gift you with a worthy reward.” Karlus winked.

It could be said that Karlus was always a loving father towards Simon, but he expressed it inwardly and only outwardly expressed his d.e.s.i.r.e for his near mediocre son to work harder. When he found Simon with grey horns, he of course felt extreme pride. If he didn't push that son of his when the latter was younger, then he may have not been able to receive such a wonderful blessing.

”Say... father, what is the A.d.u.l.thood Ceremony?” Simon asked with a straight face.

”It is when a devil comes of age and gains profound power through a sacred-”

”I know that, father. But what does this ceremony entail?” Simon pushed.

'Pfft... father is stalling...'

”Well... you are my most m.a.t.u.r.e son still under my care, I guess I can tell you since you have already gained a noble title and reached second tier... the devil laws do not punish for discussing between nobles.”

”It entails the 'Mantiwings and the Beezuls'.”

'Butterflies and the bees.'

”What does that mean, father?” Simon said as he inwardly laughed.

”It is when to devils... a female and a male... go into the same chamber and have s.e.x.u.a.l i.n.t.e.r.c.o.u.r.s.e.”

”I have never heard of such a term, can you please explain.”

”...”

'I feel a tad bit too cruel right now. Father is a traditionalist, he might not have been pure as me, but he certainly didn't take well to explaining things like this to children.'

”It is when a male devil inserts his genital organ into his chosen female partner's genital organ, therefore initiating the breeding ritual known as s.e.x.u.a.l i.n.t.e.r.c.o.u.r.s.e.” Karlus Emotionlessly explained.

”O, thank you father. I will make sure to have a lot of s.e.x.u.a.l i.n.t.e.r.c.o.u.r.s.e wherever I go from now on. Perhaps I can gain more-”

”NOOOO! You can only do it with your chosen partner, son! Do not make me remind you!”

”Yes father.” Simon inwardly chuckled.

'Well then, it's only a 20 kilometre trip. So that should be... maybe 2 hours on foot?'

'Ehhh... I'll make it with plenty of time to spare.'

'Let's see how this Hecate tries to bully this brother of mine while I'm watching.'

As you can see, not all devils are coldhearted. They care about their families at the very least! Don't support Haven's attempts at demoing devildom and slaughtering them!
