The Magician of Sound Chapter 549: Return

After his conversation with the Whale Queen, Kai returned to the US Base using his Teleportation Magic that Tasha lent him.

It was a swift return to the point he reached home first before the others.

When he came back, his parents had been standing in front of the house, waiting for them.

Kai was surprised at first, but that expression turned into a smile as he opened his mouth. “Mom, Dad.”

“You’re back!” His mother quickly leaped to him and hugged him. “The battle must be tiring for you.”

Of course, everyone knew that there was a big movement from the military. After all, the base had been under the state of full alert.

And due to the condition, the white house also released the fact they had sent all their best people to handle this problem. Some were convinced, but some weren’t.

Yet, this was enough for his parents to worry about their son and daughter.

His father asked with a soft tone. “Where are the others?”

“It seems I have returned too fast.” Kai scratched the back of his head. “They return with the normal procedure while I… used a special way.”

“I see.” James nodded.

“Don’t worry, Dad. They are fine.” Kai gave a thumbs up.

“That’s good.” James made a big smile and closed his eyes. “For now, let’s wait inside.”

“That… you need Mother to agree.” Kai chuckled and showed how tight his mother hugged him.

James shrugged and returned alone while saying, “You deal with it.”

Kai shook his head helplessly and used the Teleportation Magic to send them inside.

While his mother bothered him nonstop, the others had finally returned, including Leah.

They all came back with a surprised expression on their faces, thinking Kai should return a bit later.

“I thought you…” Michelle stared at Kai.

“Ahaha, the work turned out to be faster than I expected.” Kai chuckled.

“It’s fine, it’s fine. Isn’t it good that he doesn’t wander around for too long? Who knows if he will kidnap another girl.” The mother glanced at Leah, trying to signal her something. “I don’t mind though. It means this house will be merrier.”

Leah looked away, not wanting anyone to see her embarrassed expression. As the priestess, she had been preparing herself to be the protector’s wife. The same applied to Arba, but due to her being the current priestess, the role had been placed upon her shoulders.

Of course, if the king didn’t want her, no one could object to it. However, after living here for a while, she realized that the one holding the authority inside this house was none other than Kai’s mother.

Although she did it unintentionally, she had been keeping her company. Yes, Leah only helped her and stayed together because of her duty and thought this was just serving the king’s mother.

She never expected that her actions would be considered as her trying to be a daughter-in-law. But the situation had escalated to this point. Leah didn’t have an intention to correct it, expecting to fulfill her duty as his wife. Though, Kai hadn’t accepted her or anything.

Meanwhile, Tasha shook her head helplessly. “Mom, another girl doesn’t mean another wife.”

However, all she got was a cold stare from her mother. “I know what you are thinking, Tasha. You have been like this. I still remember how you tried to make sure no girl came close to Kai. That’s right. There was an incident where you openly made the other girl cry because of your foul mouth.”

“That was in the past. I have come to terms with it. However, there is still a limit.”

“Then, seven is good.”

“You are not trying to say we can accompany him for a day, right?”

“There is still someone in United Asia, you know.” Tasha facepalmed, wondering how she should explain it to her.

Albeit, Tasha’s answer just piqued her interest as her expression brightened, and she asked, “Who is this? Come, come. Explain it to me!”

“It’s Kai’s childhood sweetheart, Mom.” Michelle stepped in and explained with a smile. “Do you remember when I played together with Kai?”

“Ah, you mentioned him meeting another girl.”

“Yes. That’s the girl. I can give you the details later. Also, Kai has a student, you know. She doesn’t show her expression that often, but I can assure you she is cute. Of course, this one is off-limits. I’m going to strangle him to death if he dares to proceed further.” Michelle glanced at Kai with a cold gaze.

Unfortunately, this just invited another catastrophe in the family to the point Michelle was dumbstruck like Tasha, not knowing what to say. “I see. That childhood sweetheart and this student. That’s seven.”

“Eh?!” Michelle dropped her jaw to the ground, staring at her dumbfoundedly.

Tasha patted her shoulder while whispering, “Mentioning another girl will only make her think about the possibility of another wife.”

“…” Michelle was taken aback as if she just committed a war crime. She looked at Tasha and gritted her teeth. “Isn’t this because of you pushing away all the competitors to make Kai look unwanted? This is the result.”

“What did you say? I am doing this so there’s no one who will take advantage of Kai.”

The two began to argue, but suddenly their shoulders were grabbed by another person. However, when they looked at who it was, they began to sweat.

“Mom?” Tasha gulped down, looking at the terrifying expression of her mother.

“Ehm…” Michelle was speechless, never thinking that her own decision led to this disaster.

Unfortunately, the hands on their shoulders moved quickly to their necks as she dragged her to the kitchen. “Good, good. Now, let’s go inside to tell me everything.”

“Wait, we can talk about this later, mom!” Tasha tried to explain.

“That’s right. We just returned home. How about we rest first? We can tell you tomorrow.”

“I don’t want suspense. You are going to kill me with it. How dare you torture your mother with this…” She smiled and dragged them away.

Kai scratched the back of his head, glancing at his father.

James also didn’t know what to say and said, “Anyway, let’s go to the dining room. All your favorite food is already there.”

However, James also added, “Though, I don’t really mind. I am just a silent guy. She is a cheerful one, so this family never bores me… Also, she is quite thoughtful, considering she only drags the two who always talk, rather than Ayaka, who is still a bit shy or Sofia, who is too polite.”

“Shy…” Ayaka looked away and remembered how she acted rudely to Kai when they first met.

“Polite…” Sofia did the same, knowing politeness was the last thing Kai would say if he talked about their meeting.

“Haha, of course, your mother told me that Leah is too reserved.” He chuckled. “There is no need to control yourself in this family. After all, all the images you have created will disappear after two years of marriage.”

“…” Kai sighed and said, “At least, mom hasn’t met Michelle and Sofia’s Grandfathers. It will be a disaster.”

“That… I can’t help but agree.” Ayaka and Sofia smiled, thinking the scene would be amusing. If they threw Ayaka’s grandfather and Arba, it would turn into a big party.

“Anyway, let’s eat. You can rest after that.” James smiled and walked to the dining room.
