Chapter 26 - The Frivolous Mother (1) (1/2)

”Gunta-chan! What are you doing here?!”

A beautiful brunette with light-brown, almost orangish hair colour answered the door as her bespectacled face showed clear signs of surprise. Her short hair reached the nape of her neck while her dark eyes suddenly measured the youth accompanying her son.

'Gunta-chan's friend? Didn't he mingle around with those two reckless kids? And... why isn't he at school?'

No matter how much of a bully Gunta came to be, he was a smart kid with the right scores to always avoid scolding from his mother and teachers after screwing with other kids. Of course, his lackeys were not gifted with his intellect.

On the other hand, Nik's face failed to hide clear signs of surprise plastered on his face.

Looking down at slightly dazed Gunta, Nik carefully noted his facial features before classifying him as ordinary while once again gazing at the woman in front of him.

”Are you... perhaps, Gunta's caretaker? Can I meet his mother?”

Nik analysed her body covered in a blue sweater and dark pants. A perfect figure, comparable to Mitsuko's. Even her round glasses made her look damn cute while her plump lips and charming eyes competed with Sayako's facial charms.

A rare talent.

”Ah! I am sorry, but I am Gunta-chan's mother! What's going on?”

She spoke while looking at Gunta, who showed no response even after his mother waved her hands in front of his face.

Sighing, Nik smiled.

”I see, then you are Mrs Asaji. Your son, Gunta Asaji has gotten himself into a bit of trouble and I brought him here to counsel both of you for his future situation.”

Nik presented while placing his hand of Gunta's shoulder.

”Right, Gunta?”

Nik smiled to which, Gunta only nodded without any expression.

”Ah! Please, come right this way!”

Mrs Asaji immediately brought Nik to the living room while sitting alongside her son, right in front of Nik.

”First, I would like to introduce myself. I am Nik Faran and have just shifted to the city.

Currently, I am living in an apartment near the Silver Muscle gym.”

Nodding, Gunta's mother finally introduced herself.

”Nice to meet you, Faran-san. I am Kaya Asaji, Gunta-chan's mother. Please, tell me, how can I help you?”

Waving his hands with a smile, Nik continued.

”Please, call me Nik. To understand the situation better, you should hear it from Gunta himself.”

At Nik's words, Kaya looked at her son with worry rippling in her gaze as Gunta nodded at Nik's command and finally opened his mouth, revealing his monotone voice.

”Not satisfied by Kurumi Souma suddenly entering into a relationship with Nik Faran, I tried to verbally demoralise her in the school by abusing her in front of her class.

Finding out the situation, Nik brought me to converse peacefully and settle the matter. But I continued my actions and aggrieved him further. Making him take extreme action against me.”

As Gunta continued, Kaya's eyes grew wider while her lips trembled slightly.

”What? Come again?”

Sighing, Nik shook his head and snapped his fingers.

Clarity grew within Gunta's gaze as he realised how easily he admitted his mistakes. His face grew ugly while he looked at his mother's quivering expression.

”I always indulged you due to your lack of father's love! But never did I think that you would be so shameless!

Abusing a girl, picking fights! When will you stop?!”

As Kaya's voice grew louder, Nik suddenly chuckled.

At his sudden rude behaviour, Kaya couldn't help but look at Nik with a frown. She was already in a bad mood and even though Nik clearly surpassed any man she has ever seen in the departments of looks, she had greater priorities, like setting her son straight.

”Oh, I am sorry. I didn't realise the problem was such a simple one.

I finally understand. Gunta's brash behaviour and revolting attitude stem from the psychological need of setting himself different to attain the attention of his ideal, whoever he may be.

Then, the answer to such a problem is also quite simple.”

Nik smiled as he activated Pheromone Illusion to induce the lust of a living being within the range of the skill. Seeing the visible effect on the mother-son duo, Nik continued leisurely.

”Why don't I assume the role of a father? Under my guidance, Gunta will finally turn into a good boy.”
