Chapter 237: In-laws always have their own ideals
"Umm...so does it mean I passed?" I asked while stirring the rest of the ice cream with the drink.
"You’ve changed, huh?" he scoffed, but the corner of his lips was curling upward a little bit, so I guessed there was nothing to worry about. "I thought you’d be fidgeting nervously when you see me, but you’re quite relaxed,"
He wasn’t wrong. I think, if it was me from a few months ago, when I was still full of confusion and insecurity, I would have done just that. I wouldn’t be relaxed ordering a drink to a God as if I were in a real coffee shop.
But so many things had happened, and as I experienced more things, trying to go through my flurry of emotions, and finding more about myself, it was unavoidable that I would change.
And I like it that I could change like this.
"Well, I’m just going through a very tense event, so I just kind of want to rest," I shrugged, sipping on the chocolate drink with a straw. Ooh--there was a hint of coffee too there, it was quite nice. "There’s something I had been wondering though..."
The Demon God only raised his brow, but his relaxed gesture seemed to say that I could just spill it, so--
"Was the trial really necessary?"
This was something that had been swirling in my mind. The trial, undoubtedly, was conducted by the Demon God. He was the one who set the challenge as the trial takers entered the water. This means, that for the trial to be valid, he had to approve of it too when the Head Cleric made the proposal based on the Elders’ request.
But...him approving of the request...wouldn’t that mean he also wanted to test me? Wouldn’t that mean he also hadn’t approved of me being with Natha despite sending him to Earth?
Now, as I looked at him inquisitively, he used his little spoon to tap on the side of the coaster in contemplation. "Kid, do you think I’m heartless?"
