Chapter 178: Elsa's Conspiracy

Along the way to the Vermillions residence, Ray had noticed something different.

He didn't know why, but it seems people's eyes were focused on him, and every time he passed them by, there was always some discussion about him.

At first, he thought it was just a coincidence as he was a super handsome guy. But with every people he passed, this conjunction started to feel wrong.

Then, he remembered what Elsa had told him before.

" Ray Nii-sama needs to be prepared. Maybe you will be popular soon."

The heck… Ray now has some pretty bad feelings about this. He stopped caring about the eyes of other people and decided to just rush back home as quickly as possible with his girls.

It was until they safely reached the Vermillions residence that Ray finally knew what was happening.

When they reached the Vermillions residence, Anna and Jean were already waiting for them outside, and Ray was pretty surprised when the two of them immediately lunged at him for a hug.

" Stupid! Why are you doing something that dangerous? Couldn't you just wait for the official to come?"

" Yeah, if you die, we wouldn't know what we should do anymore."

Ray received the two in his embrace. But hearing their words, he somewhat has a hunch on what just happened and why those people were looking at him like that.

" It's okay, I know what I'm doing. And it is my responsibility to protect you guys, so don't worry because I will always be there for you." ay give a smile that warms the heart of his girls.

However, the touching and romantic moment only lasted for a short. Just when Ray released the two from his arm, his phone rang.

* Tiririt Tiririt*

* Mom is calling, Mom is calling*

" … "

***************

Back at Ray's home, he was now in a dogeza position before his parents.

When he saw the name of his Mom on the phone, he knew he really fucked up.

No matter what, no parents in this world would let their son in such a dangerous event like that, and Ray knew a long and harsh scolding was coming.

" So, anything to tell us, Ray Carmelo?"

" Mo-"

" Shut up!! Don't you see your Mom is talking? *Sigh* Kids these days… Their parents surely failed to educate them."

" … "

" But dear, you are his par-" Ray's dad was about to cut in, but seeing the cold look in Ray's Mom's eyes, he realized that he has no place here.

" Son of a Bitch! Who do you think you are? Facing such an enemy by yourself? Do you think you are a protagonist of this world?"

" …"

" Why are you silent? Don't you have anything to say to us?"

" I-"

" Shut up!!!"

" … "

Ray felt he gets more headaches dealing with his parents than when he fought with anyone else before. At least, he could always fight back with his enemies, but with his parents, he could only be patient and receive all the scolding and nagging from his parents.

In fact, ray knew that his parents really loved him, and it was because of this love, they became a bit overprotective about him. And more importantly, Ray now realizes the unspoken rules in his family.

1. Mom is never wrong.

2. If Mom is wrong, you are definitely wronger,

3. If the second rule is broken, go back to the first rule.

A few minutes later, it seems his Mom had finally vent out all her anger. And now, with a pretty calm tone, he said to ray…

" Are you mute? Why don't you say something from the start."

" But Mom, I am your son."

" …… "

" …… "

In the next two hours, Ray spent his time listening to her Mom nagging.

It was hard at first, but as time passed, Ray had learnt the skill to being there without being there. With his body was there nodding to every of his Mom's words, while his mind was wandering somewhere else.

Eventually, the nagging ended when the time of dinner came, and Ray's stomach gave a gurgling sound.

******

That night after dinner, Ray returned to his room alone and decided to have a few chats with Aina.

That two hours of nagging from his Mom couldn't be said to all useless. At least, he still gets some vital information from her, especially about why she knew about the battle between ray and the black-robed man.

From her words, Ray gets to know that all of this was planned by Elsa. She was recording the battle from afar while streaming it online on the internet. But strangely, she made it somehow look like that in the fight between Ray and the black-robed man, she was doing the support and deal the finishing blow with that huge glimmer of light to the enemy.

Of course, all of this was not without use. Because of her effort, Elsa now was nicknamed the Saint, while Ray had the nickname of the Saint's protector, boosting the two popularities to a whole new level.

' Aina, what do you think about that? Actually, I don't really understand why she went this far for popularity.'

[ Hmmm, if Aina could say, it must be related to that item host. In the final part of the story, the protagonist would get the item that could transfer the faith of everyone into her power. And what she wanted to do right now was to exploit that thing by repelling the true villain. And for the reason she didn't immediately finish the villain, it was also because of this. If the villain has still existed out there, he would definitely issue the second or third attack, and it would also be an excellent means for Elsa to gain more faith.]

' …… '

' *Sigh* I get it now. But even if I understand about that, then what about me? She could just stream the moment when she repelled the black-robed man. Why must it be from the start and make me become popular too?'

[ Well, it is just a guess. But Aina thinks it should be for imposing a restriction on you. By telling the people that you are her guardian, there would be some expectation in the people's heart that you would end up with her… Thus this will restrain you from being so bold with your girls in the public.]
