[Raven's POV]

(Raven's thought while he was confessing.)

I don't want to be fully attached to anyone that cannot accept the whole me.

if by any chance that I became too attached to my parents now, then they discovered about my past life memories in the future by accident or any ways.

Then they decided to abandon me, I think that will break my heart, I don't want that so I told them myself at the beginning.

That way, I can leave their side without being hurt that much.

'There's no secret that can be hidden 100% after all.'

I might be confident I can hide it now, but there's nothing certain about the future.

Especially with the interference of the Transcend Beings.

So I decided to fasten the process if I'm gonna be abandoned anyway. I was alone and an orphan my last life, I can live like that again in this life.

But contrary to my expectation, mom and dad accepted me like it's no big deal.

I was confused by their decision.

But I was also relieved and happy.

***

(Back to the present.)

I'm still surprised at my parents' stats, there's no way those are from normal parents!

Mom's and Dad's stats are categorized with people who have monstrous talent and experience.

I know they're not normal when they mentioned out family motto and when they accepted that I remember my past life pretty easily.

But I didn't expect that they're extremely weird up to this point!

Their weird auras, weird mentality, and now even weirdly high stats!

Everything still doesn't make sense for me.

They're high rank awakened but no one knows about their existence.

I'm sure there's something I'm missing, and I also know the fact that the Higher Being is playing games with me.

Also, I was curious about the trait my mother has, the gibberish one that is just made up of random symbols that constantly changes every second.

I tried pressing that trait of mom in the transparent window in front of me to read its description, but there's no explanation about trait came out, nothing happened.

"This... It's familiar."

I mumbled as I remembered something similar to this scene.

This already happened, it was when I tried to read my trait's description '<???>'. Nothing appeared that time too.

"And here I am worrying about their safety. Hah!"

After seeing my parents' monstrous stats, me worrying about my parents became ridiculous.

I don't need to worry about them from the beginning.

"If that's the case, then I can run wild as much as I want..."

I muttered.

Then the corner of my lips rose.

p Then I reformed my grand plan a bit, though I said that, all I did was to loosen my self-restraint!

I don't know why mom and dad are hiding the fact that they're strong, and I will not pry them about that. But all I know is that with them being that strong, I will have more freedom to move!

'And here I thought I don't have a strong backing...'

I mumbled to myself inwardly.

***

After packing their things and preparing thoroughly.

Raven and his family is now ready to move.

Raven and Nisha are together outside the house waiting for their parents to come out, they're still dressing up.

"Where are we going Brother?"

Nisya asked Raven as she was being piggy-backed by him.

"To our new home."

Raven replied. Even though it's clear now that it's not that really necessary for Raven's family to move, he still want them out of this shitty city and house.

"New home?"

Nisha asked in confusion while cutely tilting hernhead. She was just watching cartoons some minutes ago and now Raven said they're going to their new home.

"Yep."

Raven nonchalantly replied.

Nisha went silent for a while, processing what Raven said to her.

Then after some seconds...

"Ohhh! I'm excited!"

Nisha exclaimed, she's genuinely excited.

'Hm, her reaction isn't what I expected. I thought she will be sad.'

Raven thought. Little did he know, the neighborhood they're in only have few kids and most of them act like thugs to look cool, thus Nisha doesn't really have a friend in the area!

So hearing that they'll move in a new home with a new environment made Nisha excited!

"I can't wait!"

She yelled happily.

"Yeah, me too."

Raven replied.

Then not waiting for any longer.

"Sorry to make you guys wait!"

"Let's go."

Raven and Nisha's parents, Elaine and Alfred, came out of the house.

Elaine and Alfred are both in a formal attire, making them look attractive as hell.

While Nisha is wearing a cute pink one piece dress with printed blue kittens as designs, and a bunny headband, making her cute as hell!

Seeing them all dressed up and excited, Raven smiled.

"Yeah, let's go."

Raven said and took out his phone from his pocket and opened the mail Clifford sent him.

A location was attached to the mail.

After that, Raven led everyone to that location.

***

"This is awesome..."

Raven muttered looking at a 2 story house.

The house was painted in white and the designs are quite simple, which is what Raven like.

And around the house is a garden that is adorned by colorful flowers and nicely trimmed bushes and green grass.

At the size of the house, Raven estimated that this is a house for a family with 8 members.

Also, The closest neighbor of the house is about 50 meters away.

Raven and his family are currently in Hebriz City, just a city away from the Azeas City.

"Wow!"

Nisha who's beside Raven exclaimed and ran to the garden to look at the flowers.

"What a lovely house!"

"Yeah, It's really lovely."

Elaine and Alfred said respectively as they look at the house, standing a bit behind Raven.

Raven looked back at them.

"Let's go, there's someone that suppose to be waiting for us inside the house."

Raven then said. Elaine and Alfred looked at him for a while before nodding their heads.

"Yeah, let's go."

Alfred said.

"Yay, Let's go!"

Followed by Elaine's happy voice.

Then the 3 of them walked toward the entrance door. On the way, Raven picked up Nisha.

Standing in front of the entrance door. Elaine and Alfred prompted Raven to knock on it, which is what Raven did.

Tok- Tok-

And not long after knocking.

Click-

The door was opened by someone from the inside.

And when the door completely opened, Raven was greeted by a familiar face.

"Oh! Raven! You're finally here."

Oscar exclaimed with a warm smile.

"Oh, you guys must be Raven's wonderful parents and cute little sister."

After greeting Raven, Oscar turned to his parents, Elaine is carrying Nisha.

Oscar then extended his hand out toward them with a smile.

"I'm Oscar Wilfred, nice to meet you."

Oscar's behavio and tone were polite.

Alfred, Raven's dad shook hands with Oscar.

"I'm Raven's father, Alfred Obadiah, it's nice meeting someone incredible."

Alfre introduced himself with a smile. Because [Coldvale] is the human's number 1 guild and Oscar is the vice head of it. Oscar is pretty well known.

Alfred then turned to Elaine and Nisha.

"And these are my wife and daughter."

"I am Elaine Obadiah, nice to meet you Sir Oscar."

"I'm Nisha! I'm 4, nice to meet you!"

Elaine and Nisha introduced themselves respectively.

"What a lovely family!"

Oscar said, lightly bowing his head as a sign of respect.

Raven then grabbed Oscar's arm.

"I'm gonna talk with my friend for a bit, go look around for a bit!"

Raven said to his family and not waiting for their responses, Raven walked away and dragged Oscar with him.

...

"You calling me a friend makes me happy."

Oscar said with a smirk as soon as Raven stopped dragging him.

"Why are you here Oscar?"

But Raven ignored his words and instead asked him a question.

"I'm here to give you guys a tour in your new house."

Oscar replied with a casual shrug.

"Huh? Why you of all people? It's not like I don't like seeing you but... Aren't you busy with guild works?"

Raven asked again, looking at Oscar weirdly.

Oscar patted Raven's shoulders then he opened his mouth.

"My parents lives here."

Oscar said as he pointed the nearest house from the Obadiah's new house, in the right side.

The house Oscar pointed was rather simple, almost the same as the Obadiah's new house.

"Is it okay for them to just live here openly?"

Raven asked, looking at the house Oscar pointed at with a frown.

Oscar smirked at his question and answered:

"It may look like a normal house at first, but did you forgot that I'm a mage?"

Orcar proudly declared.

"I had the house covered with countless defensive magics. Also my parents are being guarded 24/7 by at least 5 <A-> rank heroes from our guild."

Oscar stated while pointing at a nearby tree, Raven shifted his eyes to the tree, though he can't see anyone, he's sure there's someone there.

'They're intentionally letting me know they are there... Are they listening to our conversation since the beginning?'

Raven thought as he inwadly frowned.

'If they were enemies and I'm alone, I would have been dead already... I need to try harder.'

Raven then looked back at Oscar.

"Then, are you always around this place?"

He asked.

Which Oscar shook his head.

"Just every weekends. Anyway, let me show you your new house now."

Oscar then shifted the topic back to the new house.

"Fine."

Then Raven and Oscar joined the Obadiah family again and they all entered the house.
