Mika started walking back to his room while wiping off the lipstick marks off his cheek.His new mother,Linda, really went all out on the love and affection this time.
Suddenly a tapping sound of hurried foot steps resounded the entire hallway,moving closer to him at fast pace.
But it didn't take long to know about the owner of the footsteps.
It was Rebecca!
Rebecca strode towards Mika and said while panting.
"Huff huff...Master has summoned you to his office chambers,Young Master....",said Rebecca while panting for breath,which for some reason looked fake.
Mika nodded his head and said ,"Alright Rebecca,I'll visit him right now.Its on The 1st floor,right? "
"Yes...."replied Rebecca.
After leaving Rebecca standing the hallway while panting,Mika came downstairs and stood right in front of a huge white door.
Knocking twice on the door,Mika said in a low tone,"Father,I have come"
After some moments of silence,the door finally opened revealing a neatly arranged office room where a handsome man sat while smoking a Cigar, looking out side the window.
The man didn't even look at him and just said in a heavy voice,
"Sit..."
Mika didn't stand on ceremony and strodded inside the room and sat down on the wooden chair infront of the man.
Clack!
A sudden clack resounded inside room as he suddenly turned his head to see an Auburn haired woman closing the door and locking it up.
He actually didn't even notice that the person opening the door was her!
Mika immediately became tensed as he thought about all the possibilities that could have happened to have led to such an outcome.
'Shit!....did they find something out?
I knew It! I shouldn't have activated that skill that time and now that I know her identity she will most probably try to expose me...!
'Fuck this shit!'thought Mika but despite such thoughts running through his brain,his face was completely stoic with an occasional 'ting' inside his brain,much to his frustration.
The woman walked towards him ,but instead of attacking him the woman sat on a sofa on the further end of the room and cast isolation magic upon herself and started reading a book.
The man then suddenly turned to look directly into his eyes and said,
"Who are you?....."
Immediately, a sudden pressure started emitting from the man as a feeling of absolute dread and despair came upon him.
Instantly Mika sprang up from the chair and fell down on his knees,and started vomitting.
His eyeballs turned red as it gradually became bloodshot while the pungent smell of vomit entered his nostrils.
Mika huffed profusely and tried looking up at his supposed father with underlying despair and dread.
But alas,he couldn't...
The man just looked at his son with apathetic eyes before he finally retracted his spiritual pressure from the surroundings while closing his eyes.
"Huff..huff"
Sounds of huffing filled the entire room as warm water drops fell on the white marbled floor from his eyes.
Suddenly, the the vomit on the floor,vanished!
Mika looked up at his father as he saw him chanting incantations as a green hue encased his eyes.
Even Mika was cleaned of his sweat and grime!
Mika finally gathered up his strength as he stood up while quivering and sat down again on the chair.
The man analysed Mika through the entire ordeal before sighing.
Sigh...
The man then poured a glass of water and passed it to Mika who gladly drank the entire glass before pouring for more.
Looking at his f*ucktard of a father,intense hatred sprang up from his insides.
'This god damned son of a bitch!'
'How can he do this to his own son,atleast let me speak before you try to kill me',thought Mika.
Ater Mika settled down ,the man finally opened his mouth while looking straight into his eyes.
"I'm sorry,son"
"That was important as there are some problems going on so I was testing,yet again, whether you were a demon or not"
"Rebecca might have told you about the basic knowledge of your standing in the human society but let me tell you that we have a possible demon invasion coming up"
"Although this is confidential information and the common population don't know it.You will eventually get to know about it as you will be attending the academy and be enlisted in the army, anyway"
"This is the reason why I tested you as you might already know that recovery of your mental health and paralysis was deemed as an impossible case to have a cure for. "
"You suddenly getting up from your condition along with your mental maturity for a 13 year old,just contributed for such a suspicion."
"But by this test,you have proved that you are not a demon nor do you have mana"
"I hope you forgive me for that as I love your mother and I dont want to destroy our relationship more ,now that you have comeback",said the man in a soft tone,while killing his cigar in the astray.
Mika just looked at his father and said in a meek tone while averting his eyes and acting like a shy 13 year old.
"You could have asked me in some other way,you know",said Mika with a fake tinge of anger in his voice.
Hearing his son's somewhat angry voice,the man finally smiled, revealing his white teeth and said,"I know you are a little angry and a little scared as well but please understand.I,as your father,don't want any bad things happening to you or your mother as both of you are precious "
"And now that you have comeback,It's time I showed you what a father can be",said the man with a slight grin.
"Now ask away, I'll reward you as an apology for my mistake just like I used to reward you with candies when you were a chubby baby",said the man while he lit up another Cigar with magic.
Getting an opportunity to ask for a slave ,he said.
"I want a slave, father"
"Done"
"Eh?",Mika became shocked inside his head,not expecting his father to agree with his outrageous request so easily.
"You are not going to ask me for an explanation?",asked Mika in bewilderment.
And to answer his question the man just leaned back on his chair,with a grin on his face as cigar smoke filled the room,he said.
"Listen,young man."
"Nothing goes unnoticed in this house,However it only applies especially to whatever happens inside my own bedroom"said the man in a coy tone.
Mika's eyes constricted as he instantly realised that the room his mother was sleeping in was actually the couple's bedroom and he had surveillance inside it?
'I need to hide my book or burn it,Now!'
'I can't let him find out about my secrets.This guy is truly perceptive and terrifying!',thought Mika as he looked at his father in awe, albeit with no facial expressions involved.
Feeling flustered inside himself,Mika hurriedly got up form his chair and bowed to take his leave.
But before he could move out ,the Man suddenly said,"Anything else you want?"
Mika stopped in his tracks and hurriedly turned around to answer but before he could,the man said,
"Tell me anything if you want ,okay?"
"Yes..."Mika hurriedly nodded and stepped outside the room.
He ran as fast as he could towards his room and closed the door shut.
Removing the notebook from the drawer,the picked it up and ran straight to his washroom and plunged the book under the magical runes of the shower.
The ink from the book washed down the drain present on the other end of the room,as Mika heaved a sigh of relief.
Coming out of the bathroom,Mika sat down the bed before falling flat on it.
Looking at the dome shaped ceiling while sweating profusely with his usual deadpan face,he contemplated over the entire ordeal.
'Man!.This Philip guy is terrifying!'
'I don't even know who is what until I meet them properly'
'I thought,maybe he would be a strick father or something but turns out he is a sadist!'
'Who the f*ck tests their own sick son for such non sensible reason as finding out about demons!'
'Wait!..that man continuously says demon this, demons that and considering my hypothesis regarding that woman....'
Mika suddenly sat straight as he looked towards the window as he muttered,"He knows that my step-sister is a demon....."
***
After the doors clicked,Eisheth finaly closed her book which had the title,'ADVANCED THEORTICAL KNOWLEDGE FOR MANIPULATION OF MYTHRIL'---by Grandmaster Blacksmith Philip Anteino Docere.
Cancelling her isolation magic, Eisheth stood up from the sofa and strodded towards the chair and sat down infront of her teacher.
Killing his second cigar,Philip said,"Any more clues?Demon princess Eisheth?"
To which Eisheth replied with a glare,"No magical fluctuations.Eyes don't like.Not demon.But.Suspicious.Eliminate"
Sigh...
Philip just sighed,not knowing what to do with the bloodthirsty half demon who just wanted to eliminate his now healthy child for the sole reason of not liking his eyes.
"Listen,enough is enough"
"I will not kill him if he is not a demon and will first interrogate him before taking action,is that clear."said Philip in an authoritative voice.
Eisheth just nodded her head this time before turning her head with a 'Hmph'.
Philip then looked at her averting and said,"You know what.....
Teach my son blacksmithing"
Eisheth turned her dainty face as she looked at her teacher with red serpentine eyes and shouted.
"NO!"
But before she could say anything else Philip instant pulled up three fingers and said while smiling.
"Three times..."
"Deal",replied Eisheth instantly while grinning.
And just like that a female half-demon got sold into teaching blacksmithing to a 13 year old child for just 3 pieces of human meat.

The evening sun cast long shadows on the ground. The slanting rays of the setting sun gave a warm orange tinge to the sky. The sky was ablaze with the fire of the setting sun. The night sky was aglow with bright lights of the beautiful town. The pale crescent moon shone like a silvery claw in the night sky.
But under this beautiful evening,a youth kept on pacing inside his room,from one end to another.
Mika paced around his room and thought about his future plans in regards to his current predicament.
'I need to find some other ways to write my plans as well as find a way earn some personal money,as well as get powerful quickly'
'I will need a fake alias as well to do business under that name'
'Ugh...there is so much work to do!',thought Mika as he thumped his fist on his bed,albeit with no strength.
But for now,he decided that he needed to visit the library,to learn more about the current situation of the world.
His father also dropped a bomb with news of a possible demon invasion,and along with his father knowing about the identity of the Auburn haired woman,he speculated that his father might be involved in this matter.
'Is he a traitor?',thought Mika.
But before his thoughts could go hayware,he shook his head and stooped his chain of thoughts.
As he continued thinking about possible ways to make money, a voice resounded outside his door which he recognised to be of Rebecca's.
"Young master,Dinner is ready.Master and Mistress are waiting for you",said Rebecca.
Mika suddenly looked outside and saw that the sky had already turned dark and the only light which entered was the light of the moon.
'Shit! I forgot to check the time!
For how long was I planning anyway?',thought Mika.
"Young Master?"
"Coming!",said Mika in a loud voice.
"Okay",said Rebecca
Sounds of footsteps got far and far away before he heaved a sigh of relief as he stood up from his bed and rubbed his hands thinking about the delicacies he would try today.
'lets see what they have for dinner in this world',thought Mika.
Mika opened his door, strode downstairs and reached the dining room.
Inside it was the same scene as he saw in the morning and the only difference being that of the different attires everyone was wearing,except his father and Rebecca.
His mother,who was wearing a regal looking purple nightgown with her blonde hair tied into braids and his half demon stepsister wore a white nightgown with golden embroidery.
As soon as he entered the room,his mother was all smiles and pulled him towards herself and made him sit beside her.
"Where were you honey?We were waiting for you~
Today we will have a celebration on the occasion of your Speedy recovery and good health,okay!"
As soon as her declaration ended,Rebecca came in with the same trolly,but this time with different kinds of delicacies on it.
From butter basted Wagyu steak to grilled and sizzling lambchops,along with cheesy crepes, chicken salad and wine ,the large table was filled with those extravagant dishes as the sweet smell of the steak entered his nose.
Mika's mouth started watering but unfortunately he could not express his desire to eat as the god dammed skill ruined all his fun.
'F*ck you X',Mika cursed.
The dinner continued on as his mother kept on rambling and stuffing him with lamb chops,while his father and Step-sister kept on eating with silence.
To be honest,the food was really delicious!
It was his first time eating steak as well,as he was an Indian and all the meat he had ever eaten in his entire life was just in form of curry or gravy.
And ,the chef had excellent hands as well.
Mika went in for the wine cup as he tuned his head to see Rebecca standing far away from the food table ,keeping her head down.
Mika called her towards him and told her to bring her face near his lips,while smiling.
However,Rebecca anticipated for a kiss.
'Did he remember?,thought Rebbeca.
However,all she heard was a soft 'thank you for the food' before,her master tried to drink from the wine cup.
Rebecca just nodded with a wry smile and returned back to her position.
Suddenly,a hand smacked his wrist as a blonde beauty took his wine cup before declaring in a strict tone"No no,little guy,you are not at an age to consume alcohol and....just don't ever drink them ,okay"
"They are bad for health and don't ever drink it when your older as well... "
"I don't want you impregnate a whore and give birth to a bastard child under the influence of alcohol,like a certain someone ...",said Linda in a sarcastic tone.
Hearing his wife's sarcastic comment, Phillip suddenly choked on the wine he was drinking and coughed profusely.
However,Linda ,his mother just continued feeding as if nothing happened ,while glancing at her husband.
Even the stepsister kept on eating as if nothing happened.
Mika chuckled inwardly hearing his new mom's sarcastic comment.
'Haha,this family is funny....I like this woman now....'
'Ting!'...f*ck!!
***
The dinner went on and after some time everyone went upstairs to their respective bedrooms.
Mika entered his bedroom ,with his belly stuffed with lamp chops and steak,and slumped on the bed instantly.
'Man,...that woman fed me so much....'
'Im never eating from her hands again',thought Mika .
Suddenly he heard the sound of people talking above his room.
'Hmm,are Philip and Linda talking?Let's see'
Mika then silently came out of his room and tip-toed towards the thrid floor,his mother's bedroom.
Sounds of bickering resounded the silent hallway as he peeked from one of the dark corners of the wall as he heard.
"Darling please!Open the door", whispered his father towards a closed door.
"No!You whore fucker!Bloody swine!I hope your little dick gets eaten of by a bunch of dire wolves ",said Linda in an angry tone.
"Hey! You really need to fix your crass words,Linda!Its unbecoming of former noble lady and I'm plenty big enough!"
"And it's for the thousand time I'm telling you,she is not my daughter!"
"So whose daughter is she then! Why can't you answer me then,huh!I don't need you,Rebecca is coming after finishing her job,she will spend the night with me.Its only her and My Mika who loves me and not you,so go away you dick head."exclaimed Linda.
Philip just stared down on the floor,before he grinned and said,"Really! Is she that good?"
"Yes!She loves my breasts very much and she kisses me lovingly as well ,unlike a certain someone"
Hearing this, Philip just smiled and replied in a coy tone,"But I bet you didn't curse like you used to while you got dicked down by me,right?"
"That ....that..stupid"said the woman in a flustered tone.
"So stop whining like a little child and open the door,darling~"
Mika though that the door won't open and the couple's drama would end here but contrary to what he was thinking,the door opened slowly revealing a beautiful lady in her night gown,albeit with a blush on her dainty face.
Looking at her blushed appearance,Philip smiled and went inside the room as the door closed shut,and sounds of fabric tearing resounded the empty hallway.
Mika just stared a his father making a move on his mother as he thought,
'Man just literally slid in into her DMs ,huh,'thought Mika.
Coming out of his cover, Mika finally returned to his room and went of to lay on his bed,under the muffled shreiks and moans of ecstasy of a woman,upstairs.
Mika looked up at the dome shaped ceiling with a fake smile to portray his mental feelings and after dimming the magic lamps as he thought.
'Is this what marriage is all about?
Guess I ain't getting any sleep tonight ,Huh'
And just like that the entire night passed away,without Mika getting a single wink of sleep.
