With Zeshion in the middle of the room, acting like a fancy observer, the tension in the air quickly vanished. Veril sighed and asked with a frown.
"What are you even doing here, Blue?"
Zeshion quickly turned to her and pointed to himself, saying "?" before explaining himself.
"Well, I have matters to discuss with this little man here... So..."
Veril snorted before telling Zeshion to get lost in a roundabout manner.
"The Luo family still has things to discuss with him. Co back at a later date."
"Discuss? Is this the atmosphere for a discussion?"
Zeshion tilted his head as he threw a popcorn kernel into his mouth. That popcorn actually looks good; maybe I could get so from him later.
"Sorry, but I can't delay this matter."
Zeshion quickly shook his head, before he smiled and told everyone about a solution.
"How about having a eting? I'll act as the arbiter to ensure that both sides discuss things peacefully; is that fine?"
Veril visibly frowned, but then sighed and reluctantly agreed.
"This isn't a suggestion, right? Alright, alright."
Veril stood up from the pool and quickly supported Lady Luo and the fainted Ying Yue off the water. Since Lady Luo was wearing a layered Hanfu dress, it wasn't too noticeable before...
"..."
But now, the dress was wet with water, completely. It clung tightly to her body, tracing her well-defined curves. Her big, round butt jiggled elastically with every step as her thighs shook. Her body was thicker than I expected. Even more than Ember was, I presu.
I looked towards the fainted Ying Yue, who was as flat as a precipice. I sighed a little, wondering how the mother and daughter could be so different from each other.
Priestess Harumi guided the Luo mbers out of the room and into one of the changing rooms. I, on the other hand, went straight to the eting room together with God Zeshion and Guren.
As we walked slowly, I spoke to God Zeshion.
"Thank you, God Zeshion, for saving us. If not for your appearance, we may have ended up fighting Goddess Veril then and there."
Just thinking about the scene of Veril using her favorite wide-area fire spell, [Flas of Purgatory], I can't help but shiver in fear. With just that alone, the entire Seii bloodline would've been wiped off the surface of the world.
"Don't mind it. I really do have a matter to discuss with you, so let's just forget this favor for now."
"Can I ask what the matter is?"
"... Later. It's not sothing that can be talked about in open spaces like this."
"..."I think you should take a look at
Zeshion's expression darkened. I wonder just what it was that he can't speak about here? While thinking about that, we reached the eting room. The walls that were destroyed by Guren's first uncle were already fixed ages ago.
God Zehsion sat at the head of the table, as he was to be the arbiter of the eting.
The group from the Seii consists of , Guren, the head of financial affairs, Michiru, the head of public affairs, Kanata, and the head of security, Haku. Ember, Fang, and Igni were sowhere behind , sitting down quietly.
Besides Guren, who was like my advisor, the other three were 8th-stage branch family heads who were often together with for official business.
Kanata and Haku were both burly n who had a topknot and a thick horseshoe mustache adorning their faces. The two of them sat silently with closed eyes and crossed arms.
Michiru was a middle-aged woman who honestly looked no older than 20. I was surprised to learn of her age later and even shocked to know she already had five children. Her long black hair was parted to the side, hanging over her left shoulder and covering her enormous knockers.
With her neutral smile, anyone else who looked at her would think she was no older than I was. Her dignified figure as she sipped tea gently was enough to steal my attention once in a while.
Soon, about half an hour later, the mbers of the Luo family entered.
At the front was Goddess Veril Raven, who was still wearing her previous clothes. Although she had a red armguard, or knuckle, equipped, I decided to leave it alone. Thinking about why she had that or what purpose she had for wearing it isn't good for my ntal health.
Behind her, the head of the Luo family, Luo ng Yao, entered. She was wearing a different Hanfu, which was the opposite color of her previous light-thed one. This one had darker tones, as if she were attending a wake or a funeral.
Behind her, Wan Li and Wan Er followed, wearing simple white kimonos. Their fluffy tails had nowhere to pop out of, so they were bundled together and peeked out below the hem of the kimono from behind.
With all mbers complete, God Zeshion quickly spoke.
"Sorry, but I have more urgent matters to pass. Let go first."
Nobody voiced a complaint, so he continued.
"Will, I have three things that I would like to tell you. The first would be with regards to your parents."
Hearing his words, I tilted my head. So the thing he was talking about earlier was this? It's not such a sensitive topic that we can't talk about it while walking.
His next words took the voice out of my mouth, though, similar to the others within the room.
"You are the son of the illegitimate son of the Seii's previous head... And the older sister of Luo ng Yao, the late family head of the Luo family, Luo ng Ruo."
This ant that Lady Luo was my aunt and that Ying Yue was my cousin. Rather, since I'm the son of the previous head, doesn't that an I have a higher privilege to be the Luo family head than Lady Luo? It's a bit hard to digest, no matter what.
"How did—!"
When I raised my voice to ask, God Zeshion raised his hand and signaled to stop.
"Sorry for prying into your personal details, but I had to make sure of your background. It has sothing to do with my second topic."
God Zeshion's eyes turned sharp, looking straight into my eyes. His blue eyes were full of worry as he did so.
"The Demon tars seed to be aiming for you. I can't explain how I know and why this happened, but be careful at all tis."
