If people came to know that the devil who had been a symbol of chaos and destruction so far was actually a dest.i.tute man, they would indeed react in this way.
"Sorry for shattering your fantasy. However, in order to find out the real reason, it is necessary to tell you the correct information about the devils of the past." (Grandma)
"It"s true that Kyle was cold-shouldered in the Magic Division, but it was not the only reason why he turned into a devil. It"s obvious that the ultimate cause of his devilization was hatred. The same is true for Schtrom. If we look into his background, we may understand him better." (Grandma and Grandpa)
That"s true, but the empire has already been destroyed.
"Even if we want to go and investigate him, we don"t know where to begin. It will be a tough task for us." (s.h.i.+n)
"If only I knew about this when the empire still existed." (Maria)
We really can"t do anything about it?
We ended our conversation with grandma and grandpa with the conclusion that Schtrom"s behaviour was unpredictable and we needed to remain on guard against him.
But it"s a shocking truth.
"To our surprise, the devil is a man Grandpa and Grandma know." (August)
"I feel like my values have been reversed." (Thor)
After talking to grandma and grandpa, we told Mr. Steve, the housekeeper, and Ms. Merica, the maid-in-chief, that we would hold a birthday party here. Afterward, everybody came to my room.
In my room, August and Thor still couldn"t calm themselves down after that bombsh.e.l.l of a story.
Everybody grew up listening to the legends and heroics of my grandparents, so their words had a great impact on them.
This room with fourteen people, including Elly and May, had a depressing atmosphere.
The information was continuously running in our mind. It seemed that even the air had become heavy and stifling.
However, I still grumbled, "Now people have started to speak highly of me. Don"t you think it is unfair? I"m really worried about this." (s.h.i.+n)
What"s wrong with them?
Due to such concerns, I wanted to hear their views, but they were looking at me in incredulity.
"What are you talking about? It"s impossible." (Maria)
"Right. s.h.i.+n is indeed more powerful than us." (Julius)
"To be honest, it"s amazing that we can get such an evaluation." (Tony)
"I hate being overpraised!" (Mark)
"Me too."(Olivia)
Maria said she would not think that way.
"What a strange fellow you are! According to Merlin, Kyle"s jealousy arose from the fact that people had a completely different evaluation of him even if he had the same strength as grandpa"s. But you"re indeed more powerful than us, so we won"t be jealous of you."
A strange fellow？
But it"s great.
There isn"t a gap between us.
"But there are many people who are jealous of your marriage with Cecily." (Maria)
"Really?" (s.h.i.+n)
"Yes. s.h.i.+n, you don"t really know how popular Cecily is, do you?" (Olivia)
"At the engagement dinner, someone indeed gave us a murderous look." (s.h.i.+n)
"Naive! Cecily was the G.o.ddess of every boy in secondary school." (Maria)
"Is it so terrible?" (s.h.i.+n)
"Yes, it is. Clearly, I am not bad." (Maria)
Maria smirked.
"Sister Maria, you"re terrible." (May)
"Hey, Maria, stop smirking. You"re scaring May." (s.h.i.+n)
"OK. May all couples die. Haha" (Maria)
"What?"
Cecily, sitting with me on the bed, gently pulled at my sleeve as Maria turned to zero in on Elly.
"What"s wrong, Cecily?" (s.h.i.+n)
"Well, I didn"t have a boyfriend in the past. You"re my first love!" (Cecily)
Why was she saying this? Maybe she wanted to defend herself because Maria had just now revealed her popularity among boys in school.
She explained desperately with flushed cheeks and tears in her eyes.
She looked so cute.
"Never mind that. I feel very proud to have you to be my girlfriend." (s.h.i.+n)
"Really?" (Cecily)
I tried to rea.s.sure Cecily by patting her head. She was relieved and showed a beautiful smile.
"It"s great that Xin didn"t go to secondary school." (Cecily)
"Why?" (s.h.i.+n)
"Because I believe if you did, you would have been very popular and would go out with different girls." (Cecily)
Cecily"s eyes were filled with tears again.
"I probably wouldn"t be so popular." (s.h.i.+n)
"You"d have been very popular! Because you are so handsome!" (Cecily)
It embarra.s.sed her to say that out loud. Cecily clasped her head and closed her mouth tightly.
"You"re making me awkward with your words so don"t say that again." (s.h.i.+n)
"But you"re indeed handsome and hot." (Cecily)
"Stop!" (s.h.i.+n)
"Ah!" (Cecily)
I pushed Cecily on the bed.
"If you say that again, I"ll punish you." (s.h.i.+n)
"OK." (Cecily)
Just as I was going to discipline the reddened Cecily, I was interrupted.
"Hey, you"re not going to have s.e.x here, are you?" (Maria)
I suddenly noticed something.
We were not alone in the room.
"Ooh!" (Cecily)
Cecily was so embarra.s.sed that she buried her head into the quilt.
"You haven"t changed at all. You still ignore the people around you when you get excited." (Thor)
"You guys sure have a good relations.h.i.+p." (Yuri)
Thor and Yuri threw a warm look at us.
"You dare to be lovey-dovey in front of me, you wretch!" (Maria)
Hearing Maria"s angry screech, Tony suddenly remembered something.
"Maybe another reason McGreen turned into a devil was his loathing for couples." (Tony)
