The Misfit of Demon King Academy (WN)

“How did you carve them with a peeler……..?”

Misa’s face had an amazed expression. It’s no wonder, I mean a peeler only really has one job. You wouldn’t think you could cut and shape carrots with one.

“Don’t be so surprised. If you can only use a tool for its original purpose then you are not fit to be the founder.”

Well, it was more of a necessity 2000 years ago to use tools for other purposes but now its peaceful and knives are readily available you don’t need to be able to cut and carve items with a peeler.

“That’s one each.” Ray mutters while picking up another bowl.

“Hou. Are we going to settle this with the onions?”

Many onions fly into the air and me and Ray move at the same time.

“What stupid things are you doing over there……?”

Sasha looks up from preparing the mushroom gratin and turned her gaze our way.

“Fufuu. Arnos-chan is good at peeling. It’s amazing you’ve prepared the onions so quickly.”

Sasha casts a doubtful look at my mother who’s praising me.

“……Mother-sama, why does nothing shock you? What’s with your impregnable guard?”

Bit by bit Sasha’s getting used to talking to my mother and is not minding her words so much.

“Aren’t you surprised?”

My mother smiled at Sasha and Misha.

“Fufu. I am surprised. Every day brings astonishment. He grew so big after just being born, he can use amazing magic, he’s so smart, telling us he wanted to go to the demon king academy and bringing so many classmates home.”

“………Did you never find it scary……?”

When Sasha asked her my mother’s face took on a tender expression.

“Ah…………”

My mother’s expression caused Sasha to forget what she was about to say.

“Sasha’s power was very strong and scared people.” Misha says.

“Your parents?”

“Nn.”

“I see.”

My mother pulls Sasha’s head to her and hugs her tightly.

“It must have been painful Sasha-chan.”

“….Not…not really……….it wasn’t a problem……..I had Misha……..”

*Pat pat* Sasha buries her face in my mother’s chest while she pats her back.

“……I was told by the doctor that due to my constitution I could never carry a child to term…….”

“Eh…..?”

“……When I became pregnant with Arnos-chan I was examined with magic and was told that even if by some miracle I gave birth the child would not be normal and healthy. I was told it would be best if I gave up on having children…….Even if that child would be happy…….”

My mother smiled gently.

“But Arnos-chan was in my stomach and was living so I couldn’t give up. Even if he was different from other people, even if he couldn’t study, even if his body was weak. I thought I would love that child as much as possible and make them happy.”

When I noticed my father was standing by my mother.

“My dear said that we would have this child and would never cause him unhappiness. There would be no such thing as it couldn’t be done or unable to find happiness.”

My father nods.

“But when Arnos-chan was in his mother’s stomach his state was worse than we thought. He was already close to death.”

“The doctors couldn’t do anything with magic. I prayed to God every day. No matter what, I wanted him to be born. As long as he was born, no matter what happened, he would grow up completely happy. That was all I asked.”

“…..What happened?” Sasha asked.

“While he was sleeping his heart stopped and the doctors said he was dead but I couldn’t give up. It didn’t have to be a god. Even a demon was fine as long as they helped my child. I prayed and prayed and then his heart started to beat again.”

To be precise the child in my mother’s stomach was dead or perhaps it might be better to say it never really lived from the beginning. According to the doctors, my mother’s constitution would not allow for an origin to fully form and thus a consciousness could not appear.

It was already decided the child would die before being born, however, due to me reincarnating into it I breathed life back into the vessel.

At times willpower can greatly affect magic.

Rarely, even humans who cannot use magic or have very weak magic can, by sheer force of will, affect magic and attract a demon.

It’s very possible the strength of my mother’s prayer called to me.

“After that Arnos-chan regained his energy and grew bigger and bigger. The doctors said it was a miracle.”

My mother laughed while crying a little.

“Therefore, I have never once been scared because Arnos-chan is living so energetically. There’s nothing I want more than that.”

Both Misha and Sasha are crying at my mother’s story while Misa wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and even Ray had a solemn expression.

Everyone must be thinking the same as me.

That’s why my parents accept even two-timing, bigamous homosexuality.
