Chapter 1681 The Aftermath 2

When Haru taught Yuri about the happiness of a woman, Shin talked with his grandparents about what had happened in the academy, telling them about his battle against the devil, Haru\'s support, and how grateful he was when Haru stopped him from killing people for the first time.

"Ho?" Merlin was surprised and asked, "This Kasugano-kun, you say that he\'s powerful?"

Shin nodded and said, "Yes, if I\'m not wrong, as long as it is fire magic, he can make it disappear without a trace."

Merlin and Melinda were surprised, hearing Shin\'s words. After all, both of them knew very well that fire magic was the fiercest element among magics, and it represented destruction. Even though both of them could only use a barrier to protect themselves from this magic, Haru could erase the fire magic without a trace, which surprised them.

"Do you know how he has done it?" Merlin asked.

Shin thought for a while and tried to remember a memory from his previous life. Still, after all, he was only a normal salaryman, and he also wasn\'t a good student either, so he didn\'t know how Haru could erase fire magic like what Haru did. "I don\'t know."

Merlin was surprised, but at the same time, he was also happy since he thought that his grandson had met his match. After all, he also knew how strong his grandson was, or rather his grandson was a monster. Because of that, he was afraid that this guy would be lonely or something, but it seemed that he didn\'t need to worry about that.

"Shin, is Kasugano-kun on your mouth is Kasugano Haruka?" Melinda asked curiously.

"Huh?" Shin was surprised and asked, "Do you know Kasugano, Grandma?" He looked at Melinda and wondered how his grandma knew Haru.

"…"

Melinda and Merlin looked at each other and sighed since even though their grandson was all-powerful, this guy had one or two screws loose on his head, right?

"You know… you should learn more about the world, and Kasugano Haruka in your mouth is a powerful youth." Melinda looked at Shin and said, "You might be powerful with your magic, but your mind… even though I don\'t want to say, you\'re very naive, Shin."

"Me? Naive?" Shin was dumbfounded, and as an adult in his previous life, he felt complicated when he was called naive by his grandmother, but he had to admit that even if he combined both of his age in his previous life and this life, both of his grandparents were still older than him.

"Kasugano Haruka." Merlin nodded and then looked at Shin. "Shin, you\'re good, but I also agree with your grandmother that you\'re still far behind him."

Shin frowned and asked, "Just who is he?" After all, in his mind, Haru was only a student with a normal face who was lucky to have many girls around him. Still, after the battle with the devil, he also knew that Haru was more about his appearance, but he still didn\'t know much about him, and if his grandparents didn\'t tell him, he might be clueless and didn\'t know anything.

"Kasugano Haruka, he\'s one of the newcomers on the Els. With just a few months, he can create a business empire that didn\'t even lose to anyone in this continent, and he is also the youngest member of council in the Els, and if there isn\'t a problem, the position of the president of the Els will be his." Melinda had a serious expression on his face and said, "You should know that in the Els, it is all about ability. Without an ability, no one can even rise to the top, unlike in this country where everything is hereditary." In her mind, she also had a good opinion about Els. After all, she was also a commoner, and someone who could raise the top was someone with a talent, not in this kingdom, where the nobility was everything, but she also knew that the world had always been unfair, so she didn\'t say much about her prejudice.

"EHHHHHH???!!!!" Shin was in shock and asked, "He\'s so amazing?" He didn\'t expect that someone whose face was so ordinary could forget easily on the crowd would be someone so amazing.

"He\'s very amazing." Merlin nodded and said, "You should also thank him since he has helped you."

"Help me? You mean defeating the devil?" Shin raised his eyebrow and said, "But I can defeat that devil." He had to admit that Haru was amazing and all, but he didn\'t lose to anyone in terms of power.

"No, it is about helping you not to be involved with the kingdom and stopping you from killing Kurt," Merlin said, but as expected, Shin was confused by his words.

Looking at Shin, Merlin and Melinda sighed and felt a bit tired somehow.

"Yes, I\'m grateful that he has stopped me from killing Kurt, but what does it mean by stopping me from being involved with the kingdom?" Shin was confused and didn\'t understand.

"Shin, you should know that even though Kurt is a devil, he\'s also a noble, and if you kill him, then you might receive revenge from Kurt\'s family. Worse case, they might send you an assassin or poison your food," Melinda said with a serious expression.

"Is it that serious?" Shin asked with a frown, but if it was an assassin, he believed he could defeat them after all.

"You…" Melinda was almost exasperated when she saw Shin really couldn\'t understand everything.

"Shin, don\'t be arrogant!" Merlin shouted.

"Gr - Grandpa…" Shin was trembling since it was his first time to see his grandpa was furious.

"You might be powerful with all of your magic, but to kill someone, all you need is to stab you with a knife." Merlin looked at Shin with a serious expression and said, "Let\'s say that you\'re walking among the crowd then suddenly someone stabs you on the back, or when you\'re drinking in the cafe, someone poisons your drink, and there\'s a lot of more. With all of that, can your magic protect you? Can you really believe that you can 100% that you\'ll be ready to fight against an assassin for 24 hours without a rest?" After all, the name of the devil wasn\'t disclosed, so Kurt\'s family didn\'t receive unjust treatment by the society, so without a doubt, Kurt\'s family had the power to revenge their son if Shin really was the one who killed Kurt, but fortunately, Shin didn\'t do that.

"I…" Shin couldn\'t say back, then sighed and said, "I\'m sorry, grandpa, grandma." He thought for a while and felt that he might start to get arrogant when he thought he could solve everything with magic.

Merlin nodded with satisfaction and said, "It\'s alright, you\'re young. It is good to make a mistake, but worse is that you don\'t realize that you\'ve made a mistake. It\'s good that you\'ve admitted your mistake, and then let me explain to you how Kasugano has helped you before."

"Yes, tell me, grandpa." Shin really didn\'t understand how Haru had helped him, which was why he was curious.

"Shin, the revenge of Kurt\'s family, is one thing, but in truth, you don\'t need to worry much about it since you have our protection and with our reputation, it is easy to stop Kurt\'s family, so you don\'t need to worry if you kill Kurt since we really can\'t let a devil run this kingdom amok." Merlin paused for a while, then said, "But you should know what will happen after you\'ve killed Kurt.".

"What\'s happening?" Shin didn\'t understand. After all, he had always thought that he should kill a demon, and there was nothing wrong with his action, right?

Merlin was about to say something, but Melinda stopped him.

"Let me explain it, Merlin," Melinda said.

"Un." Merlin nodded and didn\'t say much.

"The first thing is that you\'ll be revered as a hero," Melinda said with a serious expression.

"Eh? Hero? Me?" Shin was dumbfounded.

"Yes." Melinda nodded and said, "Yes, everyone in this city will revere you as a hero after you\'ve killed the devil, which was why that what Kasugano had done before by not admitting that both of you didn\'t defeat the devil, but the devil fell on its own was a good thing."

Shin was confused, and even though he didn\'t have that much interest as a hero, he didn\'t understand why being a hero was bad.

Melinda looked at Shin\'s expression and sighed. She continued with her explanation. "If you become a hero, you\'ll be used by the kingdom as a tool for politics." She looked at Shin and said, "We hope no one is using you, and even though you know Diseum (King of the Earlshide) and August very well, both of them are still the king and the prince of the kingdom before they make their decision, they have always put the interest of this kingdom first, which is why we have told you that Kasugano has helped you."

"Will Uncle Dis and Aug use me as a tool of politics? There\'s no way, right?" Shin was confused.

"Shin, I know that you know both of them very well, but you should understand that a human\'s heart is very complex and sometimes the interest of a lot of people is more important than a single person, so you should always be ready when such a situation appears in front of you," Melinda said with a serious expression. She knew that it might sound cruel, but she also needed to tell her grandson, after all, that he was already an adult.

"…" Shin felt that his mind was blown away, but he nodded, even though he didn\'t believe that August and Diseum might use him.

"By the way, if possible, can you invite Kasugano to our house?" Melinda suddenly asked.

"Yes, I agree with your grandmother." Merlin nodded and said, "We need to say thank you for his help."

Shin nodded and said, "Then I\'ll invite him when school starts." He was just a normal salaryman, so there was no way for him to think such a complex thought, but he also knew that he needed to thank Haru for what he had done to him.

The three of them continued to talk, and they returned to their harmonious state, but as expected, both Merlin and Melinda were helpless against Shin\'s common sense.
