Chapter 152 Claire’s Incident
The four adults in the house didn’t rest and kept doing what they needed to finish. Cleria and Masaomi are busy packing up while making calls to their various contacts about their plans to leave Greece. Although they didn’t tell them that they are going to Japan.
Yoruichi was assigned to take care of the purple-haired beauty, while Kisuke busied himself with the Yaegaki family’s disguise equipment.
The sun rose up and temporarily stopped whatever they are doing to have breakfast.
Masaomi, Kisuke, and Yoruichi sat down on the dining table with a smile on their face, “Japanese breakfast? I missed this…” Masaomi couldn’t help but say.
“Thank you for the food~.” Kisuke and Yoruichi expressed their gratitude and both took the miso soup.
“Haaah… The seafood here is great, but nothing beats the taste of your hometown~.” Kisuke commented while Yoruichi started eating the dishes in front of her in great relish.
Before eating, Masaomi turned to Cleria who’s still cooking some additional dishes and asked, “What about Claire?”
“I’m letting her sleep for a bit longer. She had a long fulfilling day yesterday.” With a gentle smile, Cleria answered.
Swallowing his food, Kisuke suddenly asks, “Right… I forgot to ask due to a lot of things happening but what’s up the other kids’ reaction when they saw Claire at the park?”
The husband and wife stayed quite but Kisuke waited for them to answer. After a minute or two of silence, Cleria spoke, “We told you that we didn’t let Claire go to school because of the danger, but we also tried to find a school where it isn’t in any influence of other factions. We failed to find it, however. At that time, we really want Claire to experience school so we opted for the next best thing, a school where there is almost no influence of the supernatural world.”
Kisuke and Yoruichi slowed down in eating their food and intently listened to what Cleria is saying.
“We took a long while to search for such school and we eventually found it and happily enrolled Claire in it. But we overlooked one thing which is important.”
“And that is?”
“The subject taught to the students. As part of Good Conduct and Right Manners, the school we chose, like any other school teaches Religion subject. And you already knew how will that affect a Devil like Claire even if she’s just a half.”
“Right… And even if you warn her not to listen or skip the subject itself, an accident is bound to happen.”
“It’s as you said. She can’t always avoid it so she has to sit down and listen. Just listening wouldn’t have any effects on her as I already told her that those things really exist and they aren’t as amazing as they portray it in the book so she won’t build up faith in them.
“But then again, the teacher would always say that all Devils are bad and evil. I didn’t hide the fact that I’m a Devil to Claire and the fact that she is a half-Devil herself. So when she heard her teacher saying bad things about Devils, she couldn’t help but ask a question to him, ‘Are all Devils bad?’ And that the start of everything.”
When Claire asked her teacher this, her teacher in return question her, ‘Why wouldn’t they be?’
Knowing her mother is a Devil and very kind, she replied, ‘Because not all of them are bad?’
The teacher thought it was just this child’s curiosity and asked such a question. He only laughed and patted her head while praying for her. As a person with Devil’s bloodline, Heaven, with their system, wouldn’t allow anyone with demonic bloodline receives any prayer in the name of the Biblical God.
Patting her head, Claire suddenly screamed in pain and fell unconscious. The teacher panicked and immediately brought her to the infirmary, calling her parents after. The nurse said that she couldn’t see anything wrong and she needed to be brought to a hospital to be formally examined. Cleria and Masaomi arrived and thank the teacher and the nurse for taking care of her.
Although it’s a small incident, the teacher couldn’t help but doubt a little. From her question and reaction to prayer, he thought it’s all just a coincidence. But he couldn’t reign in his curiosity and tried it again, patting her head and praying for her when they are alone. To his shock, the same thing happened and as religious as he is, he immediately called Claire ‘an evil Devil spawn’ attracting the attention of other teachers.
Claire and Masaomi, again, arrive at Claire’s school, with her on the ground while the other teachers are looking at her ghastly. The teacher who started all of this, in particular, pulled out a sword. It isn’t a secret for them about the existence of Heaven and Underworld. They even have the freedom to kill someone from other factions.
Seeing the situation, Masaomi rages and released all the holy power he is saving for the last decade and beat all the teachers who are just watching the scene unfold. Cleria, on the other hand, dealt with the sword-wielding teacher.
“So, what happened to those teachers?” Kisuke asks.
“We left them their with most of their memories erased. We also set the place up so that it’ll look like a gas leakage happened and the teachers falling victim to it. Of course, this excuse will only work on normal people, so we set another trap to attract the roaming fallen angels so they would take the blame for it.”
“I see… So you used this chance to ‘reasonably’ pull out Claire from the school.”
“Exactly… But we can’t exactly hide everything about that incident. We don’t know how it started, but a rumor Claire being a Devil started spreading around a year ago. Although the real players of the supernatural world didn’t give any attention to such rumor spread around by normal people, it reached to the point that the parents didn’t want their kids to play with Claire.”
“So that explains the reaction she garnered when she approached the park… Why didn’t you tell us about this?” Yoruichi spoke this time.
Cleria shook her head and replied, “It’s useless even if you were to know about it. And we also planned to move to another place after her birthday, so your offer is our biggest fortune.”
After hearing Cleria’s words, Kisuke stood up from his seat, “It’s time to go back to work…”
Yoruichi in response grinned in his direction, “Rushing even more? I’ll give you a massage later~.”
Two more days went by, and everything is already prepared. But since the woman is still unconscious and nothing else is happening, Kisuke and Yoruichi decided to postpone their move and play as much as possible on this island.
At night, Yoruichi would give Kisuke the duty of looking after the woman and would roam around at night to gather information.
On their fifth day on the island and the third they since they rescued the woman, she finally woke up.
