Chapter 196 The Kamado Family's Confession

"Mom! Mr. Asuka is a good person! He saved me!" Sumire quickly explained.

Asuka looked at the mother and daughter in front of her and sighed helplessly.

Even though he had already experienced two otherworldly adventures, it would be difficult for him to process this kind of thing in a short time, let alone an ordinary citizen.

"Never mind whether it's a human or a ghost."

He pointed to the approaching sirens in the distance: "The police are coming soon. If you don't want to be taken to the police station to explain why you were strolling around the bombed-out dock, you'd better run now."

Qingli was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was happening.

"Yes! The truck! My truck is still over there!"

Ten minutes later.

The light truck covered in cartoon stickers was speeding through the streets of Fuyuki City.

Haruto Kamado gripped the steering wheel tightly, her foot almost floored on the accelerator, clearly wanting to escape that troublesome place as quickly as possible.

The carriage was deathly silent.

Having absorbed enough magic, the bird was now able to maintain its physical form and was sitting cross-legged on the not-so-wide back seat.

Kamado Sumire sat in the passenger seat, still tightly gripping the baseball bat she used for self-defense, occasionally glancing through the rearview mirror at Asuka in the back seat and her mother, whose face was ashen in the driver's seat.

"that....

'

Violet tried to break the suffocating silence.

"Shut up."

Haruto coldly interrupted her daughter.

"Let's talk about it when we get home."

Those four simple words made Jin immediately shrink back and obediently shut her mouth.

Feiniao leaned back in his chair, gazing at the rapidly receding night view outside the window, his eyes somewhat deep.

There's a huge amount of intelligence tonight.

The combat abilities of several classes... that berserker who's clearly a Shinigami... that evil aura like a Hollow...

All of this was like a tangled mess, swirling around in his mind.

But he knew that the first thing to solve now was the crisis facing his own little family.

Kitchen door house.

Tonight, the atmosphere here is even colder than the winter in Fuyuki City.

In the living room, Asuka, Haru, and Sumire sat on the tatami mat in a tripod formation.

Haru had already treated the wound on her forehead and had a band-aid on it.

At this moment, she was standing with her arms crossed over her chest, her distinctive right eye fixed on the bird, as if trying to see right through him.

"Alright, now the door is closed, and there are no outsiders here."

Haru took a deep breath and spoke first: "Sumire, and this one... Mr. Asuka, right?"

"Can someone explain to me what happened tonight? What were those flying, electric monsters?"

"And..." she pointed to the bird-like and quail-like Sumire Kamado, "why were you two there?"

The violet shrank its neck and looked at the bird for help.

Asuka picked up the teacup on the table and calmly took a sip.

"Good tea," he exclaimed, though he knew nothing about tea ceremony.

This tea was poured by Haruto without thinking just now. It seems that hospitality is ingrained in her DNA, even when dealing with suspicious individuals.

After being materialized, he was able to enjoy tea, burn incense, and feast to his heart's content.

Before answering your question, I have a few questions I'd like to ask you first.

Asuka put down her teacup and looked directly at Haru.

"Madam, do you know what 'magic' is?"

"Magic?" Haru frowned, looking at him like he was an idiot. "You mean David Copperfield? Those tricks on TV where he turns pigeons into phantoms?"

"No, that's just a trick by ordinary people, not magic." Asuka shook her head.

"Manipulating elements, distorting reality, summoning monsters... these can be understood as supernatural powers."

"Huh? Have you been reading too many comics?" Haru scoffed.

"Do you know about the Holy Grail War?"

"I don't know, it sounds like some kind of gang fight involving delinquent teenagers."

As expected, Asuka realized.

It seems that although the Kamado family still maintains the breathing techniques he is familiar with, they know nothing about the world of magicians.

Come to think of it, during the demon era in which Asuka lived, he had never heard of any magic.

Did the two different worlds come together because of some special reason?

"Well then, one last question."

Asuka leaned forward slightly, her dark eyes instantly locking onto Haru's right eye.

"What happened to your right eye?"

Upon hearing this question, Haru, who had been so aggressive, suddenly stiffened.

She instinctively raised her hand to cover her right eye, her gaze shifting away.

"Wh...what happened? It's just a little inflamed..."

"7

"Stop pretending." Asuka mercilessly exposed her: "I felt it when I was catching violets at the school gate and when I was hiding from that berserker at the dock."

"There is an unusual magical fluctuation in your eye. Although it is very weak and crudely used, it is definitely not a power that an ordinary human should have."

A brief silence fell over the living room.

Sumire Kamado looked at her mother in surprise: "Mom? Your eyes...aren't they naturally colored?"

From childhood to adulthood, he always saw his mother's right eye as misty, and sometimes it would turn into a strange color.

Her mother always said it was conjunctivitis or an allergy, so Violet never took it seriously.

Haru covered her eyes and remained silent for a long time.

Suddenly, she let go of her hand somewhat embarrassedly, a strange blush appearing on her face.

There was even a hint of...smugness?

"Ahem... Since you've found out, I won't pretend anymore."

Haru puffed out her chest, lowered her voice, and said mysteriously, "Actually... I'm a superpowered person."

"Huh?" Asuka and Sumire both exclaimed in confusion.

"Oh, you mean that kind! Like Yuri Geller! The kind who can bend a spoon with telekinesis!"

Haru got more and more excited as she spoke, her eyes filled with even more pride: "Actually, I discovered I have this special ability since I was a child. Sometimes I can make things move whenever I stare at them."

"Although it's not very reliable most of the time, it's been a huge help when moving goods!"

"I always thought I was a mutant like the X-Men! I didn't expect you to see right through me... Hehe, it seems my disguise isn't perfect after all."

Looking at the middle-aged woman in front of her who had suddenly transformed from a serious housewife into someone with unfinished chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), Asuka felt a headache coming on.

"Um... Ms. Kamado."

Asuka rubbed her temples, ruthlessly shattering her fantasy: "I really don't want to discourage you, but what you have isn't a superpower or a mutation."

"That's called the Demon Eye."

"The Demon Eye?" Haru blinked, looking completely bewildered.

Based on the knowledge instilled in him by the Holy Grail, Asuka explained, "Yes, that's a special ability in the world of magicians."

"Mystic Eyes are divided into many levels, and I'm not entirely clear on the distinctions, but what you possess should be a type of Mystic Eye that is either 'forced' or 'binding'."

"Although the level may not be too high, the Mystic Eye itself is very rare."

"A magician..." Haru muttered to herself, seemingly somewhat disappointed by this setting: "Not a mutant..."

""

That's not the point...

'

Asuka interrupted her seriously: "The point is, since you possess Mystic Eyes, it means you also have a certain magical aptitude. Perhaps this also explains why Sumire was able to become a Master."

My own wooden butterfly alone is not enough to establish a connection between the two.

Perhaps there is an unactivated magic circuit within the body of the Kamado Sumire.

"Master? What's that?" Haru finally grasped the key word, her expression changing. "Is it related to those monsters from tonight?"

"That's right."

Asuka took a deep breath and decided to tell the whole truth.

"Your daughter, Sumire Kamado, has been drawn into a deadly game called the Holy Grail War as her Master."
