Chapitre 132: Three Irregulars
After we introduced ourselves, Dayana led us to a private room.
I observed her as we walked, trying to see any sign that she was a powerful powerhouse. But no matter how much I looked, she looked like just a normal human.
However, that doesn't mean the demon is mistaken.
[She is just that powerful. As long as she wants to disguise herself as a normal human, nobody will notice her true strength.] He explained in a solemn tone.
I put on a pensive expression.
Up to now, I have met three Irregulars; the Headmistress, the maid that came for Sylvia, and this woman.
The Headmistress was extremely powerful just from a glance. Even though I could not estimate the depths of her strength, I knew she was someone in a completely different dimension than a mortal like me.
The maid was similar. Although she seemed like a common person at first glance, after staring at her carefully, you could feel a powerful power hidden inside her, like the lightning hidden inside a stormy sky.
But this woman was different. Her tone, behavior, and gestures were not different than those of a regular person.
I'm slightly curious about who is the most powerful among the three.
[The maid.] The demon stated.
I was surprised.
I had thought that the headmistress was stronger, or maybe Dayana, who looks no different than a normal person.
[… The headmistress could be slightly stronger in one-to-one combat, but when it comes to destructive power, the maid is definitively stronger. She should be able to destroy a city or perhaps a country easily.]
I was stunned.
Is she really that strong?
[Perhaps stronger. She gives me that feeling.]
Wait, so that is just based on your feelings?
[Do not underestimate it. I was a powerful Immortal once. Even if I have been weakened a lot, my instincts are still as sharp as ever.]
I did not refute the demon.
By the way, I thought that Irregulars were uncommon. However, I have met three in less than a month. Could it be that Irregulars are more common than I thought?
[Definitively not. It's extremely difficult to reach that level, boy. Normally, there is only a handful of Irregulars in any world, and sometimes there is none. The fact that you met three Irregulars in such a short time is because of that girl, Sylvia.
[To be honest, even I have become wary of her background. She has three Irregulars as relatives, and judging from the situation, they are not the only ones.
[You were unlucky when you got entangled with her.]
I fell silent. I guess I should have been firmer when the demon told me to avoid her, huh?
[There is no use crying over spilled milk. And perhaps it's better this way. I'm sure that the headmistress discovered me, but she has not taken any further action, and judging from the goodwill Sylvia is showing towards you, it looks like this group of Irregulars doesn't bear ill will.]
I was startled, but immediately understood the demon's meaning.
If they do not have ill will, then they can become allies.
Having such powerful allies is definitively good news.
[If they can become your in-laws then it's better.]
… Let's not talk about that for now.
As I was talking with the demon, we arrived at the private room.
"Take a seat. I will get some snacks." Sylvia's mom said and left the room.
As soon as she left, I could not resist the urge to ask Sylvia about what she said before.
"Sylvia, is she your mom? But what about the maid that we saw that day?"
"Mm? She is also my mom."
"You have two moms!?" Ley exclaimed surprised.
"Of course not..." She rolled her eyes before putting on an impish smile. "I have more than ten."
Ley and I stiffened.
The hell!?
Seeing our expressions, Sylvia giggled with an amused look.
"Dad was a bit of a casanova in his youth, so I have a lot of moms. I love all of them, though."
For an instant, I did not know how to react.
… That man is a winner in life.
Sylvia's mom returned at that moment. She brought a tray with four cups of juice and some cookies and put it on the table.
She then sat down beside Sylvia and looked at us curiously.
"So you are Sylvia's friends." She then stared at me. "You must be Jane. Sylvia has talked a lot about you."
"Mom!"
"So, are you lovers yet?"
I felt Ley gripping my arm tightly and smiled awkwardly.
"… We are just friends."
"That is good." She sighed in relief. "I thought I had to stop that crazy woman from killing you."
Wait, I think I heard something very disturbing.
"Mom! Don't scare him!"
"Huh? Did I scare you?" Sylvia's mom chuckled softly. "Don't worry, don't worry, even if she tries to kill you, I will help you to stop her, so go ahead and make Sylvia your girlfriend if you want. I'm rooting for you."
"Mom!!!"
"Mm? Oh my, you are so red, little Sylvia."
"Argh! I should not have brought them here!"
I smiled wryly seeing the antics of mother and daughter. My sister did not seem so amused, though.
Quite the opposite, her displeasure was written on her face.
"What do you mean by killed?" She asked Sylvia.
Sylvia replied with a wry smile.
"Well, my mother is a bit controlling, and dislikes it when men become closer to any of us."
"Remember that man that was courting me a while ago?" Sylvia's mom added with a gentle smile. "The day after your mother learned of him, he suffered a car accident. I heard that he was hospitalized for four months."
"Geez, mom is really…"
Wait, don't be so lighthearted about it…!
Could it be that without me knowing, my life is in danger?
