Terrius POV
"... No.."
I could feel Manor shaking his head against my shoulder.
" Don't you find it strange that Misaki ordered V0 to put a cuff on Kaen and not lock him up right there and then?"
I asked.
"... Yeah... no mother would endanger their child like that!"
" Isn't it weirder that he is a Version who doesn't have a grantee and isn't disposed of when he's replaced? Isn't that what Misaki normally does?"
" Yeah! Your right!!!"
" Which brings us to the conclusion?"
"... Kaen is a Demigod and Hikaru is a fake?"
" Very good! You're brighter than I thought!"
I said as I pat his head like I'm praising a dog.
" Oi! That's not nice!..... But I'll let it go for more head pats and praise."
" Good boy! So smart and obedient!"
I said as I pat his head some more, Manor nuzzled against me. Happy with the praise and head pats.
" But wait. .... If Kaen is the actual Demigod, then why is Hikaru pretending to be it? How come Misaki didn't notice?"
