15 Chapter 15: Past that's Haunt's Me - 1
When Karasu Tengu appeared out of nowhere, everyone in the room was shocked, and the Tengu siblings hurried to their father.
Sigh...
After checking him and confirming there were no injuries, the Tengu siblings let out a sigh.
Karasu Tengu, who had landed with his head upside down, looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings with vigilance.
Seeing their father, who was usually guarded even against them, left the Tengu siblings baffled.
They took Karasu to one of the corners of the room and explained what happened after he was captured by the house.
While explaining, Sasami's eyes twitched as she looked at their father, who had been easily captured by a simple trick.
Like a suspicious old man giving sweets to a kid.
Cough... Cough...
"I must have slipped my leg while investigating, so the house took the opportunity to capture me."
Seeing the tension building up, Karasu coughed slightly and tried to cover the incident as if it were an accident.
"____"
"____"
"____"
Shameless...
The Tengu siblings looked at their father with deadpan eyes.
"You guys, I will prepare something to eat."
Leo stood up, excused himself to the kitchen, and invited Nurarihyon and the others to dinner.
"Damn..."
When he arrived at the kitchen, he marveled at the sight of the artistic design and the cooking techniques used.
It was the complete opposite of the kitchen in his system space.
In his system space, the kitchen represented homeliness and nature, with a window to view natural scenery.
The kitchen here had a pleasant and disciplined look, with a touch of purity.
He walked towards the refrigerator, opened it, and looked inside. To his surprise, it was empty.
"____"
[Host, here it is different from the system space; you need to manually refill it.]
Ahem...
"I already knew that, System. I just looked inside to check if it is a Chinese product."
[...]
[Host, no product from the system is a fake product. To be accurate, it was advanced with the help of the system.]
Sigh...
"It's nice to know that you know. Last life, I spent $3500 to buy Puma shoes with a running panther logo online, and I got Kuma shoes with the Running Joy Boy logo."
Remembering the unpleasant memory of his previous life, Leo felt irritated and cursed the company.
Sigh...
[System, take me to the system space.]
With another defeated sigh, Leo disappeared from the kitchen and entered the system space.
He went to the kitchen and started cooking the food.
He was planning to make chicken fried rice with chili chicken and roasted chicken.
To be honest, he only knew a few dishes he could cook now, so he came up with this.
In Leo's house...
While Leo was busy racking his brain for the dishes he could cook, everyone else was looking around to pass the time.
While the ladies like Mavis, Wakana, Kejero, and Sasami were on one side looking around, the men, including Nurarihan, Karasu Tengu, Kuroumaru Tengu, and Tosakamaru Tengu, were on the other side doing the same.
Leo didn't take notice of the paintings and statues adorning the house before leaving for the kitchen.
Otherwise, his face would have turned ugly, and he would have started cursing the system.
It's all literature and paintings about him in the version of the world of Hotel Transylvania.
In the system space...
Achoo...
'Why do I feel like something bad is happening?'
Leo looked confused and once again started to prepare the food.
In Leo's house...
"Mavis, if you don't mind, can you explain what this is all about?"
Kejoro pointed at a painting where Leo was standing in the middle, his red eyes glowing, and many bats covering his legs like a tornado.
When they looked at the painting, they felt a wave of dominance just by looking at it.
What caught their attention was at the end of the painting, there was a sentence.
"Biblical God of Monsters."
They had come across many paintings of Leo, but at the end of each painting, there would be an exaggerated statement about him, like "the one who rips evil humans..."
At first, they refrained from asking about it, but as they walked past, Kejero couldn't take it anymore and asked the question.
Even though Wakana and Sasami didn't ask, their ears twitched, indicating they were also very interested in hearing about it.
"Oh, that's his titles you guys are reading about."
Mavis turned around and looked at the pointed finger of Kejero towards the sentence and replied calmly.
"____"
"____"
"____"
In another room...
"Lord, do you think it is all true?"
Karasu looked at one of the statues before him with his mouth wide open.
"It seems so, Karasu. It doesn't seem like it's made from the material we have known."
Turabian, standing before the stone tablet of the statue, examined it.
"Leo Morningstar, the god of supernaturals," and a mini-story of how he stopped a big never-ending war between humans and the supernaturals.
"What should we do, Lord, if the statement is true, and is it safe to allow such an entity inside the territory of our clan?"
Tosakamaru, who listened to the conversation, asked in a concerned tone.
'What if this big shot has an ulterior motive and makes a move on us?'
This sentence brought silence for some time.
"____"
"____"
"____"
"It seems he doesn't have any ill intentions. So let's keep a friendly relationship with him."
Nurarihyon shook his head and gave his order to Karasu Tengu, who nodded his head while kneeling.
On Mavis's side...
Looking at the two who had opened their mouths wide except Wakana, who was looking at the painting without taking her eyes off.
Hehe...
Looking at the scene, Mavis giggled. This was her reaction when she first came to know the identity of Leo when Dracula revealed it to her.
"Let me explain in detail..."
Seeing the shocked faces before her, Mavis started to tell the story of Leo to them, which she had always heard from her father before going to bed.
"It all started a few thousand years before... the time when humans and monsters were in the great war for years... both sides had big casualties but they didn't stop the war... it happened before I was born... when my father was a kid..."
Mavis, with great enthusiasm, started to explain.
Hearing the story, others' faces changed from time to time, showing how engrossed they were in the story.
Nurarihyon and the other males joined in halfway and listened to the story without disturbing Mavis.
When they heard how fierce the war was, everyone gasped.
They had been to war before, but that was just between two factions of Yokai or Ominiji. This was a different scale; one side consisted of all the supernaturals, while the other side was humanity.
This was the first time they had heard about the great war between supernaturals and humanity, and the duration of it was for years.
They could imagine the scale of it.
Unknown to them, they became tense when they heard that the humans finally took the upper hand in the war and how the supernaturals started to lose their hold.
At one point, how the humans managed to find the location of the progenitor of the monsters' slumber cave.
How Leo came out of the coffin when they tried to destroy it, killed the humans, and entered the main battlefield.
When they heard Leo was the father of all the supernaturals, they gasped in shock and looked at each other with wide eyes, silently communicating between themselves.
Mavis continued to explain how he single-handedly quelled the whole human side into submission and warned both sides not to cross the agreement and engage in war and then vanished from that battlefield.
Gulp...
Hearing about Leo's strength, everyone was left in awe.
The power to make humanity submit and fear him for thousands of years was no simple task.
"You guys are here, huh? Come on, I have prepared dinner."
Leo walked towards them with a wide smile.
When he entered the room, he was greeted by an awkward silence and eyes of devotion, wariness, admiration, awe, etc.
While on the other side, Mavis looked very bright.
"____"
Suddenly, his eyes landed on the painting and the statue on the side, especially on the description of it.
'You can't be kidding me!!!'
