What kind of turbulent teenage years is he planning to have that he’s putting so much pressure on me? Although I was somewhat anxious about receiving this notification of a fiery adolescence, I couldn’t picture Noah doing something unforgivable to me. Even if he touched my wallet or went around swindling in my name, I’d probably let it slide.b5b01a485d53c837

Of course, demons have eternal life. They don’t age or get sick no matter how time passes. They don’t die even if their head is cut off or whatever, as long as their core is intact, making them seem immortal, but strictly speaking, they aren’t perfectly immortal.4caa0bef0dc9b0a1

As I nodded while listening to what happened at school today over dinner, the story was that Caleb, a boy in the same class, had to submit an absence note because his father would be away from home for a few days, and he needed to help at his mother’s shop.fb0c9f0c167aceba

Given that this place is more like a daycare than an educational facility, there are no separate holidays or vacations. If there’s a situation like Caleb’s, all you need to do is submit an absence note with the reason. Whether the school records or attendance sheets would be needed when commoner children apply for jobs at other institutions, I didn’t know, but it didn’t really apply to Noah.6b534adbed9199da

It seemed like he was just testing the waters, as Noah quickly gave up and started pondering again. Meanwhile, I called Phoras and Kimaris over to sit and explained about the trip.

I didn’t even know what the northern part of the empire was like, let alone flower rain, so I quickly signaled to Phoras. Understanding my intent, he pulled out a thick book from his subspace and after flipping through it, he explained.10764dd1c7d8cb85

“There’s a place called the ‘Spirit Forest’ in Adam County in the north. It got its name because of the deer spirit that lives there, along with a flower spirit that often visits for fun. The ‘flower rain’ our young master mentioned seems to be a phenomenon caused by the release of spiritual energy.”2d996eae2f7775d8

If demonic energy looks like a red mist of blood, the nature of spiritual energy varies slightly depending on the type of spirit. Since it’s a flower spirit, the spiritual energy disperses like flower petals.5fee0dd3b6d12a7a

“People describe it as petals swirling in the air, creating a magnificent sight, but due to the nature of spirits, the chance of seeing it is quite slim.”fc2c5207493064df

Well, you wouldn’t know when the spirits visit the forest, and even if the timing was right by chance, there’s no guarantee the spirits would show the flower rain. Spirits are naturally cautious and won’t easily reveal themselves unless you have an affinity with them.acfd5a7358ce0bca

However, there wasn’t absolutely no way to see the flower rain. I roughly formed a plan in my head and asked Noah.508495f55cd33c4d
