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.f3dd0372b8288d14

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.d519b4e8394640f7

Noah, unlike himself, looked very shocked. Isn’t it common knowledge that demons can die? They must have learned this at school too, but he probably thought great demons like me wouldn’t die.0eae54bf4697d1f1

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.43d07f3efaebbcb0

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.cc3717f16dad8d3a

Even though there was a fight with Philip, which led to a call to the school, they’ve since made up and things are going smoothly, so Noah’s social skills are developing nicely. If that’s the case, we should occasionally give him a break. Not that I want one; I’m already living like a carefree soul every day.80e43011d19572ac

Noah nodded 3b0acb023c enthusiastically as 413ae7f18b he looked 4a1c0575fd at the 6f492bc9ee map. It seemed the febcdecd3a trip to the f404dfe087 capital last time d550c6f23e was fun, as a5e62c04ec he looked quite c7f73c6167 excited about this efab120f3a one too.b200e2b6dcbc0919

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.d83c742ea762a259

“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.”7ddd0b13fbf2943f

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

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.c2214fb21805fee1

“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.”a1dd9e1dccb4fd40

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.8da4ed10216bfb78

However, there wasn’t absolutely no way to see the flower rain. I roughly formed a plan in my head and asked Noah.bf21766ec39efb75
