Chapter 10


The doorbell of the shop sounded with a *clang-clang*


“Welcom… . . ah, Arnos-chan welcome back . ”


My mother who was tending the store walked towards me .


Dad’s probably making something in his workshop .


“How…… how’d it go?” my mother asks with a nervous look .


“I pa.s.sed . ”


My mothers face lit up and she hugged me tightly .


“Congratulations! Congratulations Arnos-chan! That’s amazing! To get into the academy after just one month . You’re so clever Arnos-channnn! I’ll make a feast tonight!!”


Yare yare . She wasn’t the one that pa.s.sed so how can she get so much pleasure from this?


Is this a parent thing? Good grief, I can’t understand it at all .


Though I can’t understand it…… . . It doesn’t feel bad at all .


“What do you want to eat Arnos-chan?”


“Let’s see . If possible mushroom gratin would be nice . ”


It’s been my favourite for 2000 years now .


There are more luxurious things and my aides used to tell me all the time to eat foods more befitting of a demon king . It can’t be helped though . I like what I like .


When I used to ask what a demon king should eat I used to get the frightening answer back of [humans] .


What idiocy . It’s impossible for me to eat humans .


They used to get loud saying that the demon king eating gratin was setting a bad example for others . Idiots .


Demon King is the name of the person who can be as selfish as they want .


In other words, I eat what I want to eat .


I’m going to eat mushroom gratin .


“Fufu, got it . Arnos-chan loves mushroom gratin . I knew you’d say that so I prepared it in advance . ”


As expected of my mother . She’s different from my old subordinates .


“Aah, mother we have a guest . ”


“Nn? A guest? Who?”


I turn around and introduce Misha who was hiding behind my back .


“Misha Necron . I met her today at the academy . ”


Misha takes a step forward and speaks in her deadpan tone .


“………Nice to meet you…… . . ”


Misha bows her head .


For some reason, my mothers got a surprised expression on her face and put her hand to her mouth .


“Arnos-chan has………Arnos-chan has………”


Then in a surprised voice, she yells out


“My Arnos-chan has already bought a bride homeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!”


Her voice echoes throughout the house .


Misha tilts her head to one side .


“………Is that me…… . . ?”


“No, sorry about this . Hey, mother stop jumping to misleading conclusions . ”


No matter how you look at it she’s misunderstood way too much .


“… . . I see…… . . ”


“It’s fine, it’s fine Arnos-chan . Arnos-chan’s happiness is my happiness . Mother does not object………” she says in tears before wiping the corner of her eyes .


What on earth is going on in your head mother? What delusions are running around in there? I’m afraid to hear the answer .


“Mother, please don’t get so excited… . ”


The door to the workshop was thrown open with a bang .


“Arnos! Good job . As expected . You’re a man now!”


Kuh . It’s my father now .


I need to calm these 2 down .


“Looking back I remember that you were just born the other day . ”


My father puts on a pose and stares out of the window .


“Pappa knew that this day would come but the time still feels a little short . ”


*Haha* my father laughs refreshingly .


It is short . It’s only been a month .


“No, this is a joyous occasion . Isabella, tonight is a feast . Let’s celebrate loudly . ”


“Un, I know that dear . Arnos-chan is starting his new life . ”


My father has a full smile on his face and my mother is filled with tears again .


They face each other and nod *un-un . *


“………Father too…… . misleading conclusion………?”


Misha turns her eyes to me .


“Yeah…… . ”


“Alright, it’s decided . Let’s start cooking right away . C’mon Isabella smile, smile . ”


“Un, you’re right . On Arnos-chan’s happy day mother shouldn’t cry . It’s okay, let’s laugh properly!”


While we stand here dumbfounded my parents get excited .


“Mother, Father can I just say something . ”


“Aah, it’s alright Arnos . You don’t have to help today . Papa will help . ”


Father, even if you say such a thing I’ve never helped .


“C’mon show Misha-chan to your room . ”


My father starts pushing my back to make me go up the stairs to the second floor where my room is .


Once we are in my room my dad closes the door but just before he shuts it his face tightens .


“Listen up Arnos . The cooking will take about 2 hours . Even if you let out a loud voice your mom won’t hear it so do a good job . ” (1)


Fumu . Dad, what are you saying .


“Um, father . ”


“Don’t worry . Leave this to papa . ”


My father then closes the door and just as it closes he says in an indecent voice .


“Take your time . ”


Yare yare . My fathers truly embarra.s.sing .


“I’m sorry Misha . I’ll talk to them later when they’ve calmed down . ”


“……Nn…… . ”


Though not scary it was uncomfortable but Misha’s not bothered by this situation either .


She’s gazing around my room .


“… . . Empty room………”


“We’ve only just moved in . ”


So I say but I don’t intend to increase my possessions much anyway .


“I’m truly sorry for my noisy parents . ”


Misha shakes her head back and forth .


“……I’m used to it……”


Oh yeah, I remember the human who was seeing Misha off this morning .


“I guess there are some similarities with Misha’s father . ”


“…… . Different……”


“Ah sorry, my bad . As expected it’s not . ”


Misha shakes her head again .


“…… . . Not my father……”


“That wasn’t your father this morning?”


Misha nods .


“… . . My foster parent… . . ”


“What about your biological parents?”


“……Busy……”


I see . It was something like that .


In my old life, I didn’t even have a foster parent .


“…… . Arnos has siblings……?”


“No . Why do you ask?”


“…… . Good terms with siblings……”


“Aah, those things I said to Zepes and Liorg?”


*Kokuri* Misha nods .


“… . . Gentle……”


“Me?”


*Haha* My laughter leaks out .


“… . . That was funny… . . ?”


“No no, sorry . It’s just the first time I’ve been called that . ”


“… . . Why is that…… . ?”


“Well…… . . ”


I look back on my past life .


“For the sake of bringing about this world you now live in I was an oni, a demon, a heretic, what colour is your blood? I was them all . ”


Misha stared at me .


“Were you tormented?”


“Me? No way . ”


Though it was under the pressure of necessity if anything I’d say I was rewarded .


I have no intention of making excuses .


“Meh . I had a cause . ”


Misha denied it flatly .


“… . . People who torment others are bad……Arnos is not bad… . . ”


“No, even if you say that . ”


Misha stretches up and gently touches my head .


“There there . ” (2)


Fumu . I seem to have been misunderstood .


It’s a bit embarra.s.sing and ticklish .


“I was tormenting them as well . In what way am I gentle? Anyway, it seems that my care was unnecessary for those two . ”


That guy Zepes did his best to turn his brother to cinders .


“…… . . It’s a result… . . ”


“It is?”


Misha nods


“……Arnos is gentle… . . ”


They were completely unexpected words but it didn’t feel bad at all .


“Do you have siblings Misha?”


After thinking a little she replied .


“… . . Older sister… . . ”


“Are you close?”


Misha was silent for a while .


“……I don’t know……”


I don’t know? That’s a mysterious answer .


Is that good or bad? Could be either . Are there some circ.u.mstances?


“… . Worry… . . ?”


“Aah, a little . ”


“……Gentle……”


I thought she might tell me about her older sister but Misha just smiled a little .


While waiting for the cooking to be done we chatted about random things .


(1) I love his dad


(2) Okay . Now, this is cute .
