Chapter 94 - New Generation (1/2)
DING DING DING DING
”Hahah... looks like the children- no, I mean 'a.d.u.l.ts', are finally coming out of the maze. What a joyous occasion.” Simon waved off the crowd with his right hand, brushing a strong pulse of wind in the direction. Perhaps not wind, more like a dust storm mixed with grass and leaves. What would be considered a gentle shoo for Simon, could be considered a terrifying force of nature for others.
”Son... you are blowing the wind at all of the guests... please stop that!” Karlus let out a loud shout towards Simon, reminding he latter to be carefull.
”Hahah... father, I am just too excited! Jazukal has graduated from his childhood! Such things should be celebrated by the entire family!” Simon laughed heartily, walking towards the exit point of the maze as it suddenly appeared not too far ahead of him.
”You know, son, you should have told your family when you became an a.d.u.l.t. We could have celebrated with everyone!” Karlus grinned warmly as he slouched his arm around Simon's shoulders.
”There is nothing to celebrate though. The circ.u.mstances were special, and certainly not what I really wanted. But that is in the past, so let it be forgotten...”
Karlus briefly let out a small surge of killing intent before suppressing it.
”What did she do to you?” Karlus asked seriously.
Karlus was considered quite intelligent and capable of piecing together things that were implied but never spoken outright. With the strong and cunning mind, he was able to discern Simon's message and figure out what his son meant. He of course did not feel as happy about Simon's wife after realising this. Karlus had great pride in his family and especially Simon. Knowing that his son had been wronged, Karlus became quite angry.
”Please do not do anything rash, father. She is still the mother of your granddaughter, so we will have to let bygones be bygones. You do not want my daughter to hate the both of us, do you?”
”I understand, son.”
Looking back, Simon briefly reminisced on his a.d.u.l.thood ceremony. In truth, he felt rather jealous that everyone else in his generation could hook up today and find love among their peers. While it did not b.a.r.e much resemblance to any regular high school romance, he still longed for something regular. He is just too abnormal now.
”They should be out just about now-”
Suddenly, a devil still dressed in bathrobes ran out of the maze and leapt onto Simon with a terrifying haste.
OOF
Simon caught the devil with his left arm and instantly recognised who they were.
”Jazukal! Hahah... how was it? Who is my new sister in law?”
”Sim! It was so awesome! I never thought it could be so good! My wife is so lovely and cute, I am blessed!” Jazukal was in a state of bliss, blindly speaking of his experiences in the maze.
Hearing this, Simon's eyes closed and his mouth curved to form a warm and gentle smile. At the very least, he knew that his brother had a wonderful time.
”Now who is my sister in law?” Simon asked again with passion.
”Ummm... Sim... what about you?! Where is my sister in law?! Oh wait...”
