Wrong, my skills refresh every week

"So Erebus invested in you?" Astraea said with certainty.

"Perhaps. Compared to forcibly killing the gods, this kind of active gift can allow me to gain more power." Charles said frankly:

"So, I will continue my actions. I will keep accumulating divine power until I have the same power as God to change the world."

Astraea did not react in particular. Her blue eyes were pondering something, and she turned to ask, "So, your current main god is yourself? Or..."

"Rudra," Ciel confessed.

"I thought your next target would be Loki?" Astraea smiled.

"How could that be? Lady Loki is my sister-in-law!" Charles said excitedly.

Astraea pouted and said, "I heard about this. What a pity. Your former captain didn't have that blessing."

The two of them were like old friends, complaining to each other about what had happened in the past.

Astraea also told many interesting stories about Ryu, Alyse, and everyone else.

Charles also told his past stories, the internal strife of the Soma clan, his irresponsible parents, and his sister who recently found Tou.

Time flies by unknowingly...

When Charles noticed that the sky was gradually getting darker and the sun was setting, he hurriedly said goodbye.

Astraea held Ciel's hand:

"Look, you're actually a good kid. Ah, I'm not preaching to you. I know you can't turn back. Since you've decided to carry the boulder of "the end" and walk straight on the dark night road, can I be that light?"

Astraea showed a peaceful and gentle smile and stroked Ciel's cheek:

“If you feel tired, look back. There are people guarding the last light for you.”

Charles was stunned for a moment, then smiled with relief: "I have my own light, no need to look back, she will accompany me!"

Astraea's eyes widened slightly, and she said with relief, "That's good."

Ciel pushed open the door, thought for a moment, turned back to look at Astraea, scratched his head and said, "I received your kindness. If I have any information about the secret faction, I will tell you in advance."

"Is this okay?" Astraea put her hands behind her back and curved her beautiful eyes.

Charles chuckled, "Who would complain about too many lights in the dark?"

……

Charles went downstairs without looking at Leila.

At this time, the lobby on the first floor was full of people, and all the family members who had gone out returned to the base.

Kaguya snorted in dissatisfaction: "Hey, you said you were going to see Leila, but you talked to Lady Astraea for so long! What did you say behind our backs?"

"About Jester." Charles made up an excuse.

"...Then, do you know where that boy went?"

When mentioning jester, Kaguya felt a little embarrassed. Although her memory was fuzzy, she could still remember vividly what had happened.

"Will we ever get a chance to see her again?"

"Well..." Charles didn't dare to guarantee: "If you haven't been killed in the past two years, it should be possible."

"Damn it, you're cursing me!" Kaguya's expression instantly turned ugly, but due to her injuries, she did not use any violence.

"I mean, if you still want to see her, don't die so early."

"Isn't this what I mean?!"

Kaguya's expression became increasingly gloomy.

At this time, another laugh sounded:

"Charlie-chan is worried about Kaguya and asked you to take care of yourself."

At the dining table, an Amazon girl with curly ponytail, dark skin, and mature makeup on her face, smiled and beckoned to Ciel:

"Brother Ciel, you are still so bad at talking. If you care about someone, you should be more honest."

"You are..." Charles stared at the familiar Iska suspiciously.

"Huh? That's too much, it's Sister Iska!" The Amazon girl puffed up her cheeks.

"Sister?" Charles said seriously, "My sister abandoned me and ran away. Besides, Amazons are not supposed to give birth to boys."

“No way!” Iska covered his forehead with his hands. “You laughed at the bruises and scars on my face when we were in Maria Orphanage.”

"What are you talking about? If you don't know how to put on makeup, don't do it. It's so dark and annoying." Iska covered his chest and said, "She was fighting for everyone at that time without sleep."

"Hey, Mr. Charles was quite excessive at that time." Liu exclaimed.

"No." Iska explained: "This brat is just simply unable to speak. He is clearly concerned about others."

"Later, I also started to pay attention to rest. And I learned how to put on makeup. Even now, staying beautiful at all times is the justice I follow!"

Although it is claimed that she maintains her beauty in order to get a strong male to invite her to spend the rest of his life with him.

It is the pursuit of superiority.

But only Charles knows that staying beautiful at all times is to prevent her family from worrying about her. This is the justice that Iska wants.

This thought suddenly opened the dusty box of memory.

When he was young and helpless, Charles did experience a similar thing.

That was the time when Sister Maria fell ill, and the story of her sister, who was also an orphan, ran away to become an adventurer.

After that, the food in the orphanage became better, and many children were able to eat their fill.

This is also the reason why when Charles received the invitation from Chanis, he decided to become an adventurer.

"..." Charles lowered his head.

So, I became a member of God's family in the beginning just to give everyone in the orphanage a better life?

Iska's voice still echoed in my ears:

"Kaguya, don't bully brother Ciel. Otherwise I'll beat you up!"

"Ah... I see. This is really troublesome."

Watching Kaguya's eyes change from 'enemy' to 'one of our own'.

For the first time, Ciel realized that he also had ties to the Astraea family.

Chapter 253 The "Goddess" of the Orphanage

+1 connection!

Ciel seemed to see a prompt pop up in his head.

Also, Kaguya, are you such a character?

The way you look at people has become clear, you bastard!

Being looked at by Ciel with strange eyes, Kaguya blushed and said, "Shut up, you bastard!"

"I haven't said anything yet!" Charles forced a funny smile.

"Hey, it's getting late. Ciel-chan, do you want to stay for dinner? How about letting your sister sleep with you tonight?"

"Iska! Has the Amazon instinct awakened? Our clan is a holy place for girls! Don't let boys stay overnight!" Kaguya argued loudly and proudly.

"Hey, it's just a long-lost time for siblings to spend time together. Well, dinner and the like should be no problem." Iska lifted her hair and threw a coquettish look.

During dinner.

Ciel fully understood what it was like to have a sister who was an Amazonian pure dark-skinned hottie.

Whenever Liu sees Iska's extreme behavior, he would frequently exclaim, "Shameless!!"

When Astraea saw this scene, her face softened even more.

"Now, Ciel-kun is a real family member. Please don't play pranks on the sisters anymore."

"Damn it, I've been caught!"

Even Kaguya grabbed her hair for the first time, with an awkward expression:

"Ah, I'm so sorry for being rude to you before."

"Hehe." Charles, who saw through Kaguya's true nature, arrogantly did not respond.

……

After dinner, Charles finally couldn't resist Iska's enthusiasm and said goodbye and ran away from the Stardust House.

Return to the church.

In "I'm Back", when you push open the door, you will see Alfia with her hands on her chest, and a black-haired loli with a "defiant" face and an ugly smile.

When they saw Charles coming home, both of them looked at him.

Alfia: When did you get another dog behind my back?

FIRST: Take care of your woman.

"Hey, who's this arrogant little guy?" Alfia asked straight to the point.

"In terms of age, I'm old enough to be your grandmother," Firth said seriously.

"Huh, who is this little old woman?"

"..."

"Okay." Charles pushed his hand: "She is the Sage Fels, you have seen her."

Alfia: "...The one who lived for 800 years? How did she become like this?"

"Hmph, little girl. Do you know how to respect elders?" The little Loli put her hands on her hips, and actually looked proud in a strange way.

Hum, she is now a powerful [Mysterious A], a mere Alfia is no problem at all!

"Fiers, why do you act a little strange after not seeing you for a whole day?" Charles asked curiously.

"Really?" Fels didn't notice and looked himself up and down: "I feel pretty good."

"No, I always feel like you're courting death. Has the soul of the naughty child awakened?" Charles stroked his chin, "Can [Lao Deng's Reincarnation] also restore his mentality to youth?"

After being reminded, Alfia also noticed something unusual: "So, I am the same. I thought it was a change in mentality after getting rid of the disease, but it turned out to be a side effect of the skill?"

The original Alfia was even more cold and arrogant. Her tone barrier and illness tortured her all the time, making her subconsciously self-isolating and unwilling to listen to the noise from the outside world.

She suddenly reflected on herself and wondered why she had the energy to get angry with a child.

If it were in the past, she should have found a quiet place to rest.

How can there be such a lingering vitality?

Fels touched his chin and said, "It's probably because of pheromones. The amount of these things will be reflected in the mood."

She forced an ugly smile: "How long has it been since I was affected by this hormone? I really miss it."

Alfia thought.

That's why I felt that the child smelled strangely good. And I also felt a strange possessiveness. It turned out to be hormones.

Like Firth, Alfia's illness prevented her from experiencing happiness. A person who was constantly disturbed by tinnitus and physical disorders could never be happy. Naturally, she would not produce any special pheromones to the opposite sex.

It's all pheromones! Yes, that's right, it's impossible to be like my sister...

Alfea acknowledged Firth's knowledge.

She sat down on the sofa and said frankly, "Charles, I'm hungry, go cook."

"Yes, yes. Your Majesty."

……

Full of wine and food.

Fels handed several documents to Charles:

"You used the identity of the Phoebus family before, which was not bad. I did not change it. I only hid this record. The rest is this. Take a look."

Charles took the file, which recorded the news from other branches a few days ago. Because of the great struggle, the file was delayed.
