Chapter 115 - Claudes advice (1/2)
Its night time, and the four guest of mine are having a wonderful time. Cupid, Charlotte, and Farhah can be seen playing house while Kronbir is playing hide and seek with Singa and Savel (and obviously the two of them are having an overwhelming advantage). Elsa is with the other girls as she taught them how to cook. Even Rafiah are taking note about it. Rean and Karon right now are training with Behe as to better coordinate themselves
As for me
”I see. So, Mr Karonlir have met his end...” [Claude]
”So you really do know him” [Ash]
”What a small world” [Bond]
”Well, I did know that my master was blessed as well. But, I'm not sure whether his blessing is that of the original ten heroes or other blessing, just like...” [Claude]
”Like?” [Bond]
”...” [Ash]
Now that I think about it, I never tell Claude anything about my blessing. Sensing that there's some strange air of tension around us, Bond here quickly left, giving some quickly made up excuses
”So, what other blessing did you have” [Claude]
”Goddess Achalasia blessings, and the God of Death blessing” [Ash]
”And the blessings are for?” [Claude]
”To support the ten heroes...” [Ash]
”I see... so those ten really are...” [Claude]
”How did you know? You just mentioned that you didn't even know about your master blessing. But how could you tell about them?” [Ash]
”I noticed it after Rean fight with the sphinx, and seeing as how you're currently doting and protecting them, I couldn't help but think that the ten of them will be chosen” [Claude]
Claude tried his best to hold his tear. I can tell that clearly, his shaking arms, his red eyes, he doesn't want to lose someone special to him once more, and both the time due to the devil invasion.
I told him about the promise that I made with Goddess Achalasia and God of Death, and
”That reminds me. What sort of blessings did you receive from God of Death?” [Claude]
”I'm not sure. Reincarnation is one thing, but as for the rest, it got something to do with my scythe. I still haven't unlocked the scythe full potential, so I can't really tell much about it, but I do know that I can borrow the power of those who are death, as long as their souls is inside of it, with my parents being the case” [Ash]
”Huh? Reincarnation? Parents soul?” [Claude]
”Well...” [Ash]
I tell Claude about my life back on earth. About my abusive uncle and aunt. About how Goddess Achalasia and God of Death giving me a chance to be reincarnated into this world. About my short and brief meeting with both of my parents through the scythe power. And about how the Goddess is testing me to find the answer to what's happening all by myself as a test for me to gain second blessings from her.
”...” [Claude]
”Claude?” [Ash]
”I'm sorry... this is too much to take” [Claude]
”You don't believe in me?” [Ash]
”I do, but it's just shocking. But, I can tell you my opinion” [Claude]
”About?” [Ash]
”About the test. I guess the answer to what you're looking for, and the answer to unlock the scythe true potential and thus bringing out The God of Death blessing itself, lies in finding out about your parents true identity” [Claude]
”Huh?” [Ash]
”Think about it, all this while, your parents have been the center of almost everything that's happening around you. That's why, the first step is to find out who they are. Even Mahsuri, the lifeless monster instantly recognize you as their son, surely they had at least met before, and by extension, she had met withyou before. And if Princess Diana intuition is true, regarding how Mahsuri is one of the original ten heroes...” [Claude]
”That mean my parents have at least met them at one point in their lives!” [Ash]
”Exactly” [Claude]
