## Chapter 1315 – Demon

“How can it be!!! So delicious!!!!”

I shouted while eating!

“You could open a restaurant in the capital with this! How are you so good at grilling meat!”

It really was delicious. It seemed my mother-in-law was talented in cooking. However, in this situation, it was necessary to amplify and express that sense of “deliciousness” to the extreme. No, radiate it.

No chef dislikes compliments on their cooking.

“Oh my, is it really that good? Is it that delicious?”

My mother-in-law immediately showed how pleased she was as she asked that. See? Everyone likes this. And the fact that it’s delicious is a fact. It can be said to be perfect.

“This is practically the skill of a professional chef! Hahaha!”

I laughed heartily and devoured the food on my plate. Since ancient times, adults have liked young people who eat a lot with a smiling face. That is a historical fact. To gain favor with adults, you must eat well.

But you can’t eat like a pig.

Technique and skill are important in everything. I deployed the arts of the Heavenly Demon to the extreme and performed the “ultimate meal.” It was truly the pinnacle of the art of eating heartily…!

“Hoh ho ho, I knew it. See? I told you I’m good at cooking.”
“Hmm… that’s true.”
“Our son-in-law eats so well. Here, there’s plenty, so eat as much as you want. It’s okay to use up all the food we’ve stockpiled.”
“Hehe, how could I possibly deplete your precious food supply? Ah, but is it okay if I eat until I’m full?”
“Of course! Eat as much as you like!”

As I continued to eat, something suddenly occurred to me.

“Ah, right. I almost forgot about this.”

I immediately asked for their understanding and got up from my seat. I had brought a gift. I took the gift out of the small bag I had put down earlier and placed it on the table.

“I brought a gift.”
“A gift? What could this be?”
“Hehe, please open it.”

The eyes of the two adults were focused on it. My mother-in-law hummed, “Hoh hoh hoh, what could it be? What did he bring?” as she opened the box.

“This is…?”

An elixir came out from inside.

I had some elixir left at home. I decided to put it in a fancy glass bottle and give it as a gift. I didn’t really do any of the work myself. Risha had extracted it all beforehand.

The size was just like a perfume bottle.

I thought it would be too much if I gave them something too extravagant from the start.

“It’s an elixir. It’s good for mana.”

The moment I said that.

“An elixir, you say!!”
“E-Elixir!!!!”

The two adults jumped up and were shocked. Yes, this was also a natural reaction. Elixirs are extremely rare. Even nobles often can’t drink one even once in their lifetime.

“It’s a secret potion that increases mana when you drink it. I obtained it while working. Please accept it.”
“Is it okay for us to receive something so precious, son-in-law!!!”
“H-How could you give us something so valuable…!”

This.

Their reaction is more intense than when I gave ginseng to my grandparents. The adults grabbed the elixir as if they had received a treasure and looked at it with sparkling eyes.

It’s a secret potion that increases mana when you drink it.

It’s something anyone would covet.

“Please drink it slowly. You need to properly absorb it into your body. It would be best to prepare a good place and take it. Don’t sell it, and drink it well.”
“How could we sell something like this! We have to drink it! Thank you, son-in-law! To give us something so good! Oh my!”
“Hehe… oh my. To receive something like this…”
“Hehe, it’s only natural.”

Should I have brought more?

Anyway, I gave them the gift, and we resumed our meal. It was so delicious that I kept eating. But I should eat everything they prepared. That’s also a plus factor.

As we were eating.

“But son-in-law, what you said earlier… is that really true?”
“Hmm? What is? Did you talk about something while I was gone?”

Of course, it’s true.

“I don’t lie. I think it would be better to show you directly. No, I will show you. As a son-in-law, I need to clearly inform my father-in-law and mother-in-law.”
“Honey? What are you talking about?”

The meal was roughly finished.

“Mother-in-law, I’ll show you directly. Ah, first of all, I ate very well. Thank you so much for the meal. It was so delicious.”
“Oh, it was nothing. I’m happy that you ate so heartily.”
“Then, Father-in-law… can you come with me for a moment? I’ll support you.”
“I’m fine. I can walk on my own.”
“What do you mean you can walk on your own. Come on. I’ll support you.”

So we went outside. This is a mansion, so it has a backyard and everything. I told my mother-in-law, who was asking what was going on, that I was going to show them my power directly.

We arrived at the backyard.

It was a reasonably wide open space.

This should be enough.

“Hoh ho ho, just how strong of a power are you going to show us that we came all the way out here.”
“…”

My mother-in-law was smiling and anticipating, but on the other hand, my father-in-law was silent and tense. It was only natural since he had just heard my story. Destroying a fleet alone? It’s not something you can accept logically.

So I have to show them.

That I am an absurd man.

“First, we can’t cause a disturbance.”

If I unleash my full power here, the demons might track me down. So, moderately. I’ll show you a little bit of this Heavenly Demon’s power.

“Only moderately. I’ll show you a taste of my power.”

Then I pointed to the ground.

“Here, the ground.”

It’s just the ground in an open space.
Only weeds are growing.

“Mother-in-law, you seem to be quite skilled. Isn’t that right?”
“No, I’m not skilled. I just do the basics. I wouldn’t be a match for Liz.”
“Even so, you are skilled. Mother-in-law, if you hit this ground with moderate force, how far could you go?”
“…”

At those words, my mother-in-law looked at me for a moment.
And smiled.

“You want to see my power? I understand. I’ll show you.”

She walked out and took a stance for a moment.

ㅡFlash!

She kicked her leg straight up.
That leg that went all the way above her head.

“Hap!”

ㅡWhoosh!

She slammed it down with force.

ㅡThud!!!

Her foot directly hit the ground. A small crater was created by the impact. It was truly a blow from a martial artist who knew how to handle mana. It was more impactful than hitting the ground with a sledgehammer.

“Hmm… as expected, just striking the bare ground doesn’t really work? The power doesn’t come out.”
“Excellent.”

I clapped.

“Excellent, you say. Then, show us your skills, son-in-law. Are you going to hit the ground just like me?”
“Yes, but I’ll do it with my fist.”
“A foot is stronger than a fist… but I’ll look forward to it?”

I immediately took a stance for destruction.

Lightly, but with utmost seriousness. This powerful force overflowing from my entire body. I take only a small part of it and condense it in my fist.

And.

“Asura Bloodshed Fist.”

With that slight force, I strike the ground.

ㅡRumble rumble rumble rumble rumble!!!

A small earthquake occurred.

ㅡShatter!

Dirt bursts out. No, it explodes like a fountain. Vertically. A hole the size of my fist was created. A black hole was created in the ground as if a drill had been driven into it. The depth was about several tens of meters because I adjusted the force appropriately.

I confirmed that and released my stance.

“O-Oh my…!!!”
“Oh!!!”

My father-in-law and mother-in-law were currently covering their mouths with their hands and were shocked. These people have a lot of shocking things happening to them today. But there will be even bigger shocks in the future. This is a real problem. What should I do? Please.

“T-This hole! What is this! What do we do with this!”
“Is this possible!”
“E-Even if we brought a wizard, this is impossible!”

The two adults, after checking the hole, shouted in excitement. Soon that cry turned into awe, and the way they looked at me changed even more.

“Oh my god, how strong are you! Was that your ultimate move?! A strike of all your might? Is that what it was!”
“No, it’s just a light touch.”

Compared to my full-power killing destruction technique, this is just foreplay.

“A light touch, you say! Our son-in-law is really strong! Wow! Such power can come out!!!”
“The story that you destroyed the demon fleet… was true.”
“What’s a demon fleet!!!”

At those words, my mother-in-law was shocked once again.

I briefly explained again. That I am the hero. So I’m destroying the demons’ ships. I quickly conveyed that the reason I came here was to check on them since they had stopped their activities.

“S-Such a thing…!”
“Do you believe me?”
“Of course, I believe you! You showed us this kind of power! Do you think it’s possible to drill such a clean hole in the ground with just your fist! No matter how strong you are, this is impossible! And it was just a single strike!”

My mother-in-law picked up a pebble and dropped it into the hole.

“How far does it fall! Wow! Our Liz really chose a good man! Oh my god! I raised her well! A hero! With that much power, is there even an opponent?”
“Hehe, there isn’t.”

Right now, my mother-in-law was overjoyed and greatly excited.

Even in modern Earth, if a man who came as a son-in-law suddenly started using the Heavenly Demon Divine Art, they would show a reaction that was more, not less, intense.

“Oh my god…!”
“It’s really amazing… it’s almost unbelievable.”

The two adults were still amazed.

Their gazes already contained infinite trust and awe towards me. The joy of having such a man as their son-in-law. And the joy that their daughter’s life had become amazing. And other various surprises and joys… good.

The seasoning is all done.

I gave them the ultimate joy.

The build-up is perfect.

Then now.

It’s time to reveal it.

Now is the decisive battle.
All of this performance exists only for this moment.

ㅡFlash!

I immediately knelt down. I knelt down demurely and placed both hands on my thighs. I knelt down with infinite reverence.

“There is one thing I am sorry about.”

I bowed deeply with the utmost apology.

I apologized while touching the floor with my forehead.
I don’t know how long it’s been since I bowed like this.

“Yes…?”
“What is this…?”

A voice is heard.
A very flustered voice.

Anyone would be flustered if they were suddenly in this situation.

“Um, son-in-law? Why suddenly? Get up. What could you possibly be sorry about…”
“S-Surely!!!”
“Honey?! Why! Do you have any idea?!”
“Surely our daughter isn’t hurt!!!”
“O-Oh no!! Is that why!!!”

Thankfully.

That’s not it.

“That’s not it. Right now, Liz is… living comfortably in a safe house.”

It seemed they imagined the worst situation because I suddenly bowed.

“That’s a relief… then! If she’s not hurt, then what is it!”
“D-Don’t hesitate and tell us quickly!”

Yes.

“Liz is.”

Let’s say it.

“Liz-noona is.”
“Our son-in-law was younger?!”
“Ah… yes. That’s right. But that’s not it.”

Let’s fire it!!!

Kim Kat!!!!

“Liztina is my fifth wife.”

Calmly.
I convey that fact.

Of course, I have to say it.
And this pain too… I have to endure it.

“…”

Silence.

Silence descends.

“…”

I can’t.

I couldn’t lift my head. No, this is too cruel…! But I have to endure it! I know that. Even so… I can’t lift my head. I, Kim Kat, who can fully see any tragedy unfolding before my eyes.

But this silence was heavy.

“…”

How!!! Can I tell my wife’s parents!!! That their daughter is my fifth wife!!! How can I reveal that she is a concubine! But I will! I must!

So I did!

“…”

But.

The silence is a bit too long.

What is it?

ㅡSwish.

I sneakily lifted my head to check… Ugh!!!

“O-Oh my god!!! M-Mother-in-law!! Father-in-law!!!!”

The two of them were standing in front of me!!!

“They fainted while standing up!!!”

Both of them were in the same pose, specifically, they were in a state of shock with their eyes wide open and their mouths agape, with one foot and one hand pulled back!!

“I’m going crazy!!!”

Was it that shocking!

“This won’t do!”

A sense of guilt wraps around my heart…! Please! Liz-noona! I wanted to come with you! How great would it have been if we had come together!

“I’m sorry!!!”

I immediately put the two adults around my waist and went inside to lay them down. With the two adults lying there unconscious in front of me… I had no choice but to stand there like a stone statue.

This kind of thing…!

Is hard to handle!!!
