Chapter 411: [411] "You finally made a move against your mother-in-law?"
Chapter 411: "You finally made a move against your mother-in-law?"
Looking at the faint golden light hovering in Hachiman's palm, everyone was stunned.
Just now, Erina, who had been arguing with Hachiman, stuttered, "W-What is this?"
"It's the power that angels are said to possess—Holy Light," Hachiman explained.
Angels? Holy Light?
Upon hearing his words, everyone also associated them with the image of angels with white wings from Western mythology.
After a moment of confusion, Erina also realized, "Wait, when you mentioned 'the Holy Light possessed by angels,' do you mean you're also an angel?"
"I'm definitely not an angel. I've said it before—I'm the protagonist of this world, the hero," Hachiman shrugged. "Well, overall, I'm still human, probably."
"Since Holy Light is a power possessed by angels, how did you come to have it?" Senzaemon asked, raising a question.
"Because I'm the hero, naturally. So when angels descended to this world, they imparted the power of Holy Light to me," Hachiman explained.
Angels descending to this world?
This news once again stunned everyone.
After years of materialistic education, Hachiman telling them that mythical creatures like angels were real was something they couldn't immediately accept.
Seeing their reaction, Hachiman smiled, "Don't worry, angels are not malevolent beings. They descend to this world just to ensure its stability. As long as there's no threat of world destruction, they won't intervene."
Actually, even if a crisis threatened to destroy the world, those two little angels, Gabriel and Raphiel, wouldn't be much help. All they could do is report the news to the heavenly realm and wait for more powerful beings to come to the rescue.
At this point, Alice raised a question, "So, Hachiman-kun, are angels still in this world now?"
She was actually the quickest among them to accept the situation because, for her, angels were irrelevant now. Hachiman was the most important.
Finding out that Hachiman was a hero was amazing. It was like something out of a fairy tale. Did that mean she was the princess now? After all, in fairy tales, heroes and princesses are always paired together.
A hero, huh? The legendary hero who can save the world.
To think I did that kind of thing with a hero. This experience is truly... so strange!
No wonder Hachiman is so powerful. It's because he's the hero.
Alice's face flushed slightly, but there was also a sense of pride.
So, your thought process is really unique, girl.
Hearing Alice's question, Hachiman smiled and reassured her, "Well, I don't know if angels are still in this world or not. After they imparted the power of Holy Light to me, I haven't seen those two angels again."
Hachiman decided to tell a lie and didn't reveal Gabriel and Raphiel's identities. After all, they were different from him. They came to the human world just for training, and in three years, they would return to the heavenly realm. So, it's better not to cause them any additional trouble.
"Maybe they're still somewhere in this world. After all, angels have the responsibility to monitor the stability of the world."
But after some thought, Hachiman decided to remind them.
Upon hearing this, everyone fell into contemplation.
Before long, it was Senzaemon who thought of something.
"Just now, Hachiman-kun, you mentioned that the second condition for making pseudo-perfect cuisine is..."
Hachiman nodded, confirming his suspicion. "That's right. The second essential condition for making pseudo-perfect cuisine is to possess the Holy Light. The ingredients for making the cuisine must undergo the purification of the Holy Light."
To think it would require this...
After hearing his words, everyone fell silent.
If what Hachiman said was true, and only he as the hero and the angels possessed Holy Light, then indeed, they couldn't pass on the method of making pseudo-perfect cuisine to others.
Realizing this, the faces of Senzaemon and the others showed a sense of disappointment.
Only Hachiman could make the pseudo-perfect cuisine, but they couldn't expect him to stay at the Nakiri household every day to cook for Mana.
Although Senzaemon might consider it if it were someone else, Hachiman was different. Firstly, Senzaemon had high hopes for Hachiman and saw him as a potential son-in-law in the future. Secondly, with Hachiman's newfound status as a hero, Senzaemon couldn't risk his safety.
"Senzaemon-sama, you needn't be so disheartened. If this pseudo-perfect cuisine can only be made by me, perhaps it's also my responsibility as the hero. If that's the case, then I will naturally take on that responsibility," Hachiman spoke up.
"Hachiman..."
Hearing his words, Erina's face lit up with excitement, filled with gratitude.
"Hachiman-kun... you're truly amazing."
As for Alice beside her, she was even more thrilled. At this moment, in her eyes, Hachiman's image transformed into that of a radiant hero.
"Really, Hachiman-kun, that's so thoughtful of you."
Senzaemon and Soue, along with the others, also expressed their gratitude. Even Mana felt the same way; after all, being able to taste delicious food meant she wouldn't have to go back to relying on nutrient solutions to sustain her life.
"Not relying solely on this pseudo-perfect cuisine to sustain her is not a solution. I actually have a new idea I want to try," Hachiman said, rubbing his chin as he spoke.
Since dishes purified by Holy Light were effective, why not try using Holy Light directly to treat Mana's illness and see what effect it would have?
"Oh? Hachiman-kun, do you have a good idea?" Senzaemon asked.
"Holy Light has excellent healing and purifying effects. I want to try to see if Holy Light can help with Auntie's condition," Hachiman explained with a smile.
"That's indeed a good idea."
Senzaemon's eyes also brightened up. After all, pseudo-perfect cuisine could only alleviate symptoms, but if there was a method to address the root cause, it would be the best.
"Then let's try it now. Auntie, please cooperate with me," Hachiman nodded towards Mana.
"Sure, how should I cooperate?" Mana asked.
"It's simple. Auntie, just sit on the sofa and don't move around," Hachiman said with a smile.
"No problem."
With that, Mana sat down on the sofa, and Hachiman stood in front of her.
Covering his eyes with Holy Light, Hachiman could clearly see a black aura lingering at the base of Mana's tongue.
This should be the curse of the "God Tongue."
Having found the root of the problem, Hachiman prepared to start treatment. However, before beginning, he turned to remind everyone.
"I'm going to attempt treatment now. Whatever happens later, please refrain from acting impulsively. Understand?"
As he spoke, Hachiman unintentionally exuded a hint of authority. Because of the Holy Light covering his eyes, his eye sockets no longer contained distinct pupils; they emitted two faint golden lights, resembling those of certain mythical deities.
"No problem," everyone agreed without objection.
Seeing this scene, Hachiman nodded and began the treatment in earnest.
"Auntie, forgive me for any offense."
With that, he conjured a ball of Holy Light in his hand, pressing it onto Mana's shoulder. Then, he carefully controlled the Holy Light, guiding it toward the black aura at the base of Mana's tongue.
Feeling the surge of warmth coursing through her body, Mana widened her eyes.
"This... is Holy Light?"
Before she could continue speaking, the warmth swiftly rushed towards the tip of her tongue. Due to her "God Tongue," Mana's tongue was much more sensitive than that of an average person.
"Ah... wha... what is this feeling... mmm... why... why does it suddenly feel so comfortable..."
Seductive moans escaped from Mana's mouth, and as the sensation on her tongue grew stronger, her speech gradually became indistinct, only producing muffled nasal sounds.
"Mmm... uhh..."
Seeing this scene, Hachiman's expression turned strange.
He hadn't expected both mother and daughter to have the same sensitive spots, was it because of their shared "God Tongue"?
However, during the treatment, he also noticed that Mana's body was in poor condition, likely due to prolonged malnutrition, with many underlying health issues.
Oh well, since he had started this, he might as well help her treat everything.
With that in mind, a beam of Holy Light emerged from Hachiman's left hand, pressing onto the other side of Mana's shoulder.
Mana felt another surge of warmth entering her body, this time rushing towards her limbs. As the Holy Light treated the ailments throughout her body, an indescribable sensation erupted from the depths of her being.
"Ah... it's so hot... so much more coming in... everywhere... so much... feels so good..."
Before long, Mana was gasping for breath, her eyes glazed over, and her skin flushed with a faint blush...
Unfortunately, Hachiman's treatment continued, wave after wave of sensation erupting from deep within Mana's body.
"I can't... I can't take it anymore... uhh... ah..."
Hearing these seductive moans, Senzaemon and the others felt a bit awkward.
Especially Erina, because these two people, one was the person she liked, and the other was her mother.
This jerk, he's actually making a move on his mother-in-law?
But remembering Hachiman's words just now, the girl didn't dare to stop him rashly. Besides, she could see clearly that Hachiman was just placing his hand on her mother's shoulder, not doing anything strange at all.
Perhaps... this was a normal phenomenon during treatment, maybe.
