Chapter 2 – I Said That I Won’t Banish You Didn’t I? That’s a Lie

「…………………………It pained me greatly but」

The next day after the Conferment Ceremony.

Before this I was holing myself in my room the whole time in a dumbfounded state. Then Tou-san summoned me at the evening.

Normally, the whole family would be in the dining hall chatting at this time.

But this day, Tou-san summoned me alone in his office.

Other than Tou-san and me, there was only the veteran butler of Scarlet House, Sebastian.

「I love you. I intended to show you the path of happiness no matter what kind of Gift you obtain. But……it’s, you know……Scarlet house is the sword of the king, and our family lineage is filled with Holy Knight that is also the symbol of the church. There is a limit to everything.」

Tou-san was speaking awkwardly. It was like his usual cheerfulness was just a lie.

「The matter of your Gift has already become a rumor throughout the city. The king himself and the church has also notified me directly to do something about it. Now that the uproar has spread this far, it’ll be hard for you to live in this city.」

It was just as Tou-san said.

Gift Incubus.

Skill Peerless.

There was no way I could live properly after the surrounding knew that I had been given such disgraceful shitty Gift.

In the first place I was staying the whole time in my room for a whole day was because I didn’t want to meet anyone who knew me. In other words I didn’t want to meet anyone.

「Therefore, you are disowned starting today. I want you to leave this city and live on your own.」

That was why Tou-san’s order wasn’t anything unreasonable at all. It was also something that I myself wished for.

「But just don’t forget this one thing no matter what. Although you’re disowned, it’s just on paper. Father will always help you if you are in trouble. I’ll give you the money for your living in the meantime, so for now head to the west. Be reborn as just Erio and build a life of your own at the countryside where no rumor from the capital can reach.」

「……Yes.」

Like this, I got banished from the capital where I was born and raised and left behind my kind family.

.

.

.

I departed at the middle of night.

The timing when everyone was asleep was picked. I left behind the imperial capital without anybody else knowing except my family.

This was my first time leaving the city by myself but, my family hadn’t only taught me swordsmanship, but also various other things like economy and city structure with actual practice, so I didn’t feel that inconvenienced. I also had money with me.

But as expected, the despair and feeling of loss of suddenly losing everything out of nowhere hit my heart hard.

Everything was the fault of this Gift that I received yesterday.

「Haa……」

I was looking down on my status card in a daze within the shaking carriage.

It was a mysterious card that was bestowed from the church to me at my fourth birthday. It was displaying my level and the skill I had.

Erio Scarlet 14 years old Human <Incubus> Level 1

Skill in possession: Peerless Lv 1

The reality didn’t change no matter how many times I looked at it.

An embarrassing Gift and an embarrassing skill.

I let out another sigh. I had lost count of how many times I sighed since yesterday.

「Even so……」

I unconsciously muttered while looking at the skill column that was displayed by the status card.

「My lower body has been feeling excessively hot since yesterday. Is it because of this Peerless skill’s fault……?」

I turned my focus toward my lower body that had been radiating out heat and itchiness since yesterday.

I hadn’t really paid any attention to it until now because of the shock from receiving this disgraceful Gift but, it was difficult to do that in this current situation where there was nothing to do except feeling the shaking of the carriage.

I couldn’t ignore it once I focused on it.

I had never felt this turned on before this, so I quietly moved my hand toward my lower body.

What I found there, was my other half that had become incomparably more impressive then yesterday.

「Is this also the fault of my Gift and skill……? Aah geez, no wonder I got banished if it’s like this……」

The Gift’s effect was just too obscene.

I fell into deep self-hatred. However I comforted myself as though to run from reality.

There wasn’t anybody else but me inside the carriage anyway. Anyone outside also wouldn’t be able to hear anything because of all the shaking on the road.

I had lost everything, so there was no point being bothered by small things at this point.

「……uh」

I dealt with my raging son with such feeling of emptiness but…….

「Eh……what’s with this……?」

I had certainly let it out plenty, and yet my lower body’s itchiness wouldn’t calm down at all.

「It won’t settle down at all just from coming once……!?」

This was the first time this happened.

Well, even I’m a healthy boy at this age, so I can recover fast.

But wanting to let it out once more right after letting it out, this was the first time.

「Uu, just what the hell is this Gift……it’s really the worst……」

I can’t go on anymore.

Was there some kind of mistake that misplaced my actual Gift? I looked down on my status plate again even though it was meaningless.

「……Eh?」

At this time, I was seriously flustered, thinking that I might have seriously lost it from too much shock.

After all the status plate’s display had changed from before.

Erio Scarlet 14 years old Human <Incubus> Level 2

Skill in possession

Peerless Lv 1

「Eh? What’s with the level up……?」

I spoke with a dumbfounded tone.
