The happy moment.
[What’s the matter?]
Returning my line of sight towards her, I almost panicked and thus pretended to clear my throat to settle myself down. At my lame attempt of covering my mistake, I could hear Greed laughing.
『What a loser』
[Roxy, close your eyes for a moment.]
[What’s the matter? Ah, I get it. Is it because of me mimicking you?]
[We’ve through with that earlier. And no, that’s not what I mean.]
[Or perhaps, you want to give me a present?]
[You don’t seem quite certain. But no matter….. Alright!]
Even so, Roxy obediently closed her eyes. I remained silent as I switched place with Aisha-sama.
[What are you going to do anyways? Can I open my eyes already?]
[Just wait a little more!]
[Uuuuu…….what on earth are you trying to do…..]
[Roxy, open your eyes]
[Finally. Now then, what is i…….ah!!]
[Mother, why!? Mother did told me on the last letter that you’ve felt much better, but it doesn’t mean that Mother have to force yourself to attend here…]
[Yes, I feel really well recently, that’s why I come here to see my dear child.]
[Eeerrr, I really don’t understand what’s happening here….]
[I do not know the details, but Fate was the one who healed me.]
[Fai did!? What is this all about?]
[That is…..]
[You told me before that he can change shape. Other than this staff, there are bow, scythe, and shield?]
[That’s right. This form was unlocked thanks to the stats I obtained from killing Tenryu.]
[It’s from that time…]
[Hold it right there. Have you two forgotten about me already?]
Aisha-sama came in between me and Roxy.
[Come come now, you two can go to your own world later]
[I guess so…..right, Fai?]
[Un un, please stop with the teasing.]
Clearing my throat, I explained to both Roxy and Aisha-sama about the black staff.
[For example, this is Greed’s fourth form. If I let him use up a certain amount of my statuses, I’ll be able to use this form’s secret technique. Different forms provides different secrets too.]
Roxy silently nodded after hearing my explanation.
[I see, so you’ve used Twilight Healing to cure my mother’s sickness. Thank you, Fai……I was worried for a while there when I saw mother acting so energetic.]
[I also felt the same. I never thought that Aisha-sama would be like this shortly after I healed her.]
[Mouu, look at you two. Shouldn’t you be happy seeing me healthy and energetic like this?]
Just then, Roxy knitted her eyebrows.
[Then, please stop treating your daughter like this.]
[Uuuu, but it’s suppose to be a surprise. Fate also thought so too.]
[Ee……..U~n………….tha, that’s right.]
[Wait a minute, the way you say it, it’ll seem like I forced you into it, moouu]
But she did force me into it, not to mention she didn’t even let me say no. Well, the problem would just get bigger if I said that out loud, so let’s just follow along.
[Aisha-sama only wanted to let Roxy know that she’s already healthy enough to leave the territory. After all, it’s hard to tell her real condition even if she wrote in the letter that she’d been feeling better recently.]
[If Fai say so. But, this makes me happy. I’ve always been worried about mother’s condition…..]
[How much is the status consumption for activating the secret? Being able to do that much, it must be a lot, isn’t it?
[Well, I guess so. I have to give up 40% of my statuses to be able to use Twilight Healing.]
[40%……how much was that?]
[You must be lying. Fate, is that true?]
[Yeah, it’s true]
[Because, that’s 4 million status we are talking about……too many digits, it’s overwhelming!]
[Mother, calm down! Fai did killed Tenryu, he probably obtained a lot of status from doing so. So he could use that much without regret…..]
After calming the panicked Aisha-sama down, Roxy had a convinced look on her face. She then told me in a proud face.
[I think I understand now]
[Ee, about what?]
[The reason why mother becomes so energetic. Probably, it’s because the excess stats (obtained from Tenryu) that was used to activate Twilight Healing.]
[You have a point there]
The over energetic Aisha-sama, after scolding Roxy and me a little, went to greet the other party attendees.
[Such a noisy mother]
