[Requirements for *Rites of Demon* has been met]

[Does host desire to *Demonize* any Relatives]

[Yes - No]

Even though they were her grandkids, surprisingly the midwife midea didn't allow for favoritism of any sort. Even though they were her grandkids, that wasn't known to the public, so Belle had to wait for her turn just like everyone else.

Tobi hadn't been so confused about everything as he was right now, for some reason the old hag who was a midwife was surprisingly his own Grandma, yet since they had arrived apart from talking to them a bit like relatives, she and Christy suddenly seemed like strangers to themselves after that.

However, that wasn't the main issue on his plate. Because his head was hurting from the several notifications messages he was seeing at the moment.

Even his eyes couldn't stop narrowing from reading the messages, if it wasn't for the fact he had something on his face, the expression he was making would have definitely scared everyone sh*tless.

[Does host desire to *Demonize* any Relatives]

[Yes - No]

When it was their turn, his mind was too busy reeling with chaotic thoughts, for him to even pay attention or analyze how his old grandma was performing her works.

Even though he was next to her, Tobi stared at whatever she was doing, absent-mindedly, while Christy stared at her son with guilt on her face even still she couldn't tell him or reveal the truth behind their actions.

Midea made various hands gesture and hand movements, as she lightly rubbed Belle's back region down her waistline, after some time she stopped.

"Sadly, I have both good news, and I have bad news. The good news is that her condition is the same as always, with no sign of degeneration this time at least. The bad news is that her condition doesn't seem to be improving either.

"I'm afraid that she will remain like this and forever. The more she grows, the lesser her chances of her body recovering on its own." She said with a sigh.

The room had become tense, with this piece of news, a lifetime illness was barely better than being dead.

Even though he was barely active in the overall conversation, the last few words shocked him enough to interrupt all his thoughts.

He stood there a bit dazed, as he looked at his sister, the whole world meant nothing to him if he could not share it with the only family that loved and trusted him.

They came out of midea clinic in low spirits, as they returned home in complete silence.

Once they arrived, Tobi who had been planning to ask his parents about why he wasn't informed about having any relatives, wasn't in the mood anymore as he hid himself by the corner.

Christy shared the bad news and dug herself into Christopher's arms as she sobbed. One by one, everyone had burst into tears, searching for a comfort zone in each other arms.

Except for Tobi and Tim, for Tobi he couldn't even cry as all the water in his eyes for some reason seemed to have dried up. He was dazed, life once again wasn't showing him its good side.

For Tim, it meant there was finally major progress, and was a huge step closer to his goal, and that was all that matters, as long as he was concerned every single member of this useless family he was in, should go and die for all he cares he wouldn't bother shedding any drop of tears.

If it was also left to him, his so-called' father wouldn't be alive now crying like a baby.

'What is the use of having a system when I keep being useless to the ones important to me? Why does life always keeps making me remember without it oxygen am just a dead man?

'Is this just pure bad luck or a curse from being a demon child? He thought helplessly.

During the following days, Tobi put the thought of the demon ritual aside, as he kept second-guessing every decision of life he made, before barely accepting the fact that he couldn't change the past but the future.

He also realized Belle wasn't all ill before his reincarnation, but after he was born and most importantly after Tim's arrival, once again he felt so angry he couldn't stop blaming himself, if he had taken the shot to eliminate the b*stard he was sure his sister wouldn't be at death door.

After having shown the potential that he could work.

The next day, Tobi decided to prove himself to everyone and most importantly made a promise to himself to not let anyone hurt his family ever again.

He thought the best thing to do that, was to act as the perfect son and butler, with his abilities, skills, and techniques, he was sure Tim this time wouldn't be able to do sh*t to either his sister or family at large.

The next morning of the day, everyone woke up surprisingly as they realize the whole house seemed, to emit a spectacular shining luster.

At first, everyone was astonished and thought about Christy, but the surprised look on Christy's face showed she was just as surprised as everyone else.

Even Tim felt his head hurt, from thinking about who did it. He thought if his guess was right about who it was, then the little four eyes imp was more than abnormal to do all these.

After thinking for a while, everyone slowly noticed Tobi coming out of the dining room, with a broomstick. He gently put the broomstick down, as he walk over elegantly to Christy who couldn't stop grinning.

For the next few days, he also continued to prove he was capable of doing the whole house chores, relieving his mothers and sister from their stress.

Thanks to his speed and stamina, sweeping the whole house was a matter of a minute or two. Even in the darkest night, nothing could escape his sight.

It could also be said that he had taken a few notes on his body reaction when he was outside. It didn't seem like anything could affect him in any way, at least not yet nor did he feel sluggishness from overworking himself.

What was new was his skin slightly glowing under the sun, his conclusion was either that was some effects of practicing the meditation technique or the Sub-Technique.
