" Hey Benio, don't you think Rokuro- " Mayura stopped as I spit my strawberry milk

" Benio you okay? " She asked worriedly

" I'm fine really, so move on with your question " I said after wiping my mouth with my purple handkerchief

" Rokuro he is been skipping school for 3 days now, did something happen between the 2 of you during the spring festival? " Asked Mayura unexpected about our missing that day

" W-what d-do you mean? We did nothing really~ Ma-maybe he is sick? Yes he probably SICK! HE IS SICK " I said with a flustered face while looking straight to her eyes

" Really? Then why you're blushing? Heh heh~ you nasty blushy historian " She said while nudging me with her elbow

" Uhhhh " I stammered

' what did she meant about nasty blushy historian? And why is she smirking!? All I did was put him to sleep.... At a cheap love hotel! ' I scream to my inside self trying to calm my mind

" Sorry for the wait ladies~ " Said a redhead as he sat at the opposite seat

" Did I miss the fun? " He questions when look at both of us

" Welp it had nothing to do with you because this is a gurls talk " Said Mayura

Shimon pouted because he wants to be in the conversation too. While the two of them were chatting normally, I ate my bento but for some reason it doesn't taste like my recent bentos.

" Guys I'm not feeling well, Mayura tell sensei that I will skip school for today " I said as I packed my Bento

" What? Why? If you are not here who will be my partner during P. E. ?? " Cried Mayura because she doesn't wants to be alone

" My head is spinning and my mind is cloudy, I can't think straight during class. Sorry I'm not well " I said as I touch my head

" Okay then when you back at home make sure you get plenty of rest Benio-san " Said Shimon before I went to class to get my bag and went straight to home

" Obassama I'm back " I said as I saw here sweeping from the entrance

" Benio-chan welcome home but why so early " Wondered the old grandma

" I'm not feeling so well like there is this evil presence around me " I said

" Come inside, you must be tired. I'll prepare your favorite " Said the grandma as she hold my hand into the house

I put my bag on the table and take a seat. Obassama came with a plate of ohagi and matcha tea. I took the cup of hot steamy matcha tea and drank it. I huffed after few sips to let out the steamy air. I put down my cup and look at Obassama who was enjoying an ohagi.

" Obassama is there something following me? Why powerful demons were so attracted to me? Is it because my exorcism power? " I finally told everything that lingers in my head

" Benio-chan you are special, you are a hybrid. Just like your grandpa " Said Obassama with a serious tone

" Hybrid? Grandpa? " I question

" My dear husband is the son of an exorcist which was my mother in law and the one of the demon royal siblings, my father in law " She said

" What? One of the demon royal siblings?! " I said

" You're powers were descended from my husband when he was ill, you were still in your mom's belly. He touch your mom's belly and said to your mother ' be strong ' before he died. Those were his lasts words, I cried beside him and not knowing that he gave his last power to you and the next day you were born normally no fangs no red eyes, just a pretty little baby girl but from you I can sense my husbands presence.... " Obassama paused as she took a sip of her tea

" That's why I took you Benio-chan " She said with a big smile

I don't know why but tears streaming down from my eyes, I've never met my grandpa yet I felt like I've known him. Suddenly I saw a presence behind Obassama's back, a tall man in a yukata with horns and the eyes of red, he hold Obassama's shoulder and smiled at me before disappear.

" He must be handsome " I said jokingly

" Welp he is but he decided to marry a plain jane like me " Said Obassama as she laugh softly
