NOVEL NEXT Chapter 52: It's supposed to be a warm scene, I guess.
I asked that I gain the chance to once again see you and Aoi, and help save my world from the darkness that was slowly shrouding it.
He fulfilled my wish and I was finally able to see you both again.
The changes in my demeanor and manner of behavior are because of the endless experiences that I have gained.
I am no evil ghost or devil. All my powers are granted by the ancestors themselves. No devil or ghost will be able to control the weather."
Harry felt his heart beating nervously. The lie that he came up with on the spot definitely had many plot holes in it.
He hoped that she would not find them and believe in his words, as if she didn't… he would have to silence her by killing her.
He was just starting to gain a proper support and following in Lyria, and if his own mother advertised that he was a devil in such a crucial phase of time… the consequences would not be desirable.
He did not want to kill her. After all, to an emotionally scarred person like him whose only family, his father, physically abused him and then abandoned him... it was difficult to become fond of a person.
Even thought he had not gone to a stage of loving and trusting his new mother, he definitely was fond of her and her endless love that she poured onto him.
He did not want to kill her. But if she became an obstacle in his growth to power, he definitely wouldn't mind to.
While all those thoughts were running though his head, his mother was extremely relived.
She confronted him on a whim, and was not really sure if he was not Harry.
She had just seen signs, and sincerely hoped that her assumptions were false.
Maybe it was because of this hope of hers that her brain did not bother to examine Harry's explanation completely and just believed in it.
She walked to Harry and tightly hugged him, and Aoi, who was now sure that the person in front of her was really Harry, just, now he was a mature and calm version of himself, followed Harry's mom and hugged Harry tightly.
Harry too hugged them while patting them on their backs. This should normally be a warm scene, but anyone who saw Harry's expression would be scared sh*tless.
