Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 626 - 627 Unexpected reaction

The sudden visit of her Homeroom Teacher, Pipi’s unusual behavior, and the unexpected utterance of "Mom"...

All of this left Aya’s mind in a state of shock.

Over the years,

She had experienced many hardships and survived numerous challenges, but the current situation left her in a daze, lost in thought.

"Pipi, did you... did you just call her, ’Mom’??"

Aya was well aware of Pipi’s true identity, the infamous Sword Demon, The Demon King who was feared far and wide. To see such a terrifying figure display such an otherworldly expression was truly beyond Aya’s expectations.

’I knew The identity of Teacher Yu was definitely out of the ordinary… but…’

’Mom?’

’Was Teacher Yu Pierre’s Mom?!!!’

’A being who was called "Mom" by a fearsome demon king, could it be that she is a deity?! Teacher Yu, a legendary deity?! The gentle and kind Teacher Yu was actually the bloodthirsty and violent deity from the legends?! is this real?! Her appearance is so beautiful, completely different from the green-skinned, fanged descriptions in the legends, right?!’

’A deity, why would she come to Luminous’s Academy? And why was she teaching students how to combat Abyssal Demons?! What on earth was going on?!’

At this moment, Aya’s mind was in chaos. Her emotions were like a small boat in a stormy sea, tossed about in endless confusion.

...

However,

Amidst the chaos,

One thing was certain: Pipi was extremely afraid of her teacher. The terrifying Sword Demon, who had once struck fear into the hearts of all being in the world, was now trembling like a frightened rabbit before Yumo. He seemed powerless and could only shiver in fear.

Vaguely, Aya seemed to understand who might have caused the injury on Pipi’s butt.

Staring at the "Head Maid " who had red eyes and kept screaming while trying to break free from the black-haired girl’s restraint, Aya’s heart trembled slightly.

Although she and Pipi had a relationship based on mutual benefit,

Deep in Aya’s heart,

Pipi was the only companion she trusted and was willing to accompany her on her journey.

Seeing her companion show such a fearful and anxious expression, Aya couldn’t bear it.

Guided by her emotions,

Aya took a deep breath and directed her gaze towards the beautiful black-haired girl.

"Teacher Yu, please wait, wait a moment!! What... what are you going to do to her??"

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, Yumo who was pinching Pierre’s ear, was momentarily taken aback. She turned her gaze slightly to glance at Aya.

’Oh…’

’Almost forgot.’

’There were students watching here...’

Aya’s words momentarily captured Yumo’s attention. Seizing this opportunity, Pipi’s eyes narrowed, and he quickly wriggled free from his mother’s iron grip. Like a swift storm, he darted behind Aya, clutching the hem of her skirt and crouching pitifully on the ground.

"Whaaa..."

As he whimpered, Pipi cautiously peeked out behind Aya, his eyes filled with a pitiable look towards his mother. Realizing he couldn’t escape his mother’s clutches, Pipi had quickly changed his strategy to seek refuge behind Aya.

Although Aya’s power was no match for Yumo, Pipi, feeling the cold stare from his mother, was too panicked to think further. He clung to Aya like a lifeline, using her as a shield while whispering a plea for help:

"Aya, save me, please..."

Yumo: "..."

Aya: "..."

However, it had to be admitted that Pipi’s move to seek shelter had an unexpectedly effective outcome.

Faced with her student, Yumo’s intimidating aura subsided. She slowly lowered her hands, showing no signs of resorting to physical discipline.

Looking at the green-haired girl shielding her son, Yumo spoke with a mix of guilt and helplessness:

"I apologize Aya for my overreaction. I was a bit too agitated. Actually, the maid behind you... well, is a... how should I put it?"

"A man?"

"Huh??"

Hearing this response, Yumo blinked in surprise and confusion:

"You knew about this?"

"Yes, I did."

Aya nodded slightly.

"Actually, Pipi dressed like this because of me. He disguised himself as a maid to better protect me. He didn’t have any ulterior motives."

"Heeeh? Protect you?"

Yumo glanced at Aya’s determined eyes and the trembling figure of her son behind her. After taking in her son’s dependent demeanor, the displeasure in Yumo’s eyes gradually faded, replaced by a hint of amusement.

She lowered her voice and asked seriously:

"Aya, you said he’s been protecting you?"

"Yes, absolutely. These past few years, without his protection, I would have died dozens of times. It’s thanks to Pipi that I’m still alive today."

"These past few years, thanks to him? Have you two been together for a long time?"

"Yes," Aya nodded, neither confirming nor denying anything further.

Observing Aya’s response, Yumo raised an eyebrow thoughtfully and tilted her head, scrutinizing the human girl before her.

To Yumo, Aya left a positive first impression. She saw her as a bold, clever, and strong-willed girl, not to mention highly intelligent. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to become a candidate for the imperial throne in the treacherous Holy Lomari Empire.

In contrast, her own son...

Well, that was another story.

"Have you been living together for many years?"

Yumo murmured to herself.

Considering her son’s perhaps not-so-impressive intelligence, Yumo didn’t believe Pipi could have hide his true identity from Aya. This meant...

"So, Aya, you must be quite aware of Pipi’s real identity, right?"

Faced with Yumo’s question, Aya took a deep breath and clenched her lips tightly.

The black-haired girl’s meaningful smile and serious tone exerted an unprecedented pressure on Aya, as if two massive mountains were pressing down upon her. Yumo didn’t emit any power, but her presence alone brought a terrifying sense of suffocation to Aya’s soul.

’No wonder she’s Pipi’s mother…’

’Truly…’

’There’s a sense of profound mystery around her...’

Aya swallowed hard and, after a moment’s hesitation, chose to answer honestly.

"Yes, I know Pipi is the Sword Demon, one of the strongest abyssal demon kings"

"I see, so it’s as I thought. And you heard what Pipi called me just now?"

"Yes." Aya nodded again.

Despite trying to appear calm, her inner tension was uncontrollably spreading.

"Then, can you guess my identity?"

"To be honest, I’m not sure. But... since Pierre is so afraid of you and calls you ’Mom,’ I can be certain that you hold an extraordinary position in the Abyssal world. Are you an ancient Abyssal Demon King unknown to us humans? Or perhaps the legendary demon lord? Or... are you the Demon Temple?"

Under the immense pressure, Aya voiced her speculation.

In response to this answer, the black-haired girl remained expressionless and fell into a brief silence.

At this moment,

The girl’s silence only tightened Aya’s nerves further. Her heart felt like an arrow drawn tightly on a bowstring, ready to shoot out of her chest at the slightest mistake.

Facing such a formidable and terrifying presence, Aya knew that she couldn’t deceive her. It was better to tell the truth and avoid angering her. But even if she told the truth, Aya wasn’t sure if the girl would spare her...

Even though Yumo had given her the impression of a gentle and beautiful older sister, her true nature was still that of an Abyssal demon.

These Abyssal demons appearing in human form in this society definitely had ulterior motives. As someone who knew the truth and was a human, she was likely to be silenced.’ Teacher Yu isn’t as easy to deceive as Pierre...’

’Perhaps I should try negotiating with her?’

Aya held her breath and quickly considered her options, thinking about how to find a lifeline.

...

However,

Just when Aya’s nerves were at their absolute peak,

The black-haired girl, who had looked serious just a moment ago, suddenly underwent a drastic change in expression. A meaningful and playful smile appeared on her face, and her crimson eyes revealed an indescribable excitement.

In an instant, she moved closer to Aya, ignoring Aya’s shocked and tense expression, and patted Aya’s head with enthusiasm.

"Pat~ pat~ What a clever child you are! Hehe~ Good job, good job~"

Aya: "Huh???"

For a moment, Aya couldn’t quite grasp the current situation.

’What’s going on???’

.....

’Wait, I recognized her identity, right?!’

’No intention of killing or silencing me?’

’Instead…’

’She seemed pleased?’

As Aya looked at the black-haired girl in front of her, who wore a strange smile, she felt more and more confused by the current situation

"So, it turns out like this, Hmm hmm not bad~"

Muttering to herself, Yumo slowly moved closer to Aya.

The pleasant fragrance, as if from jasmine, filled the air.

Even though Aya was also a woman, facing the close proximity of Yumo with her extraordinary appearance, Aya’s cheeks couldn’t help but blush slightly.

Considering that her own strength couldn’t create any ripples, Aya could only stand there somewhat at a loss.

She watched as the black-haired girl continually rubbed her waist and abdomen. When her hips were pinched by the other, Aya shivered, her face showing a mix of shyness and indignation.

She couldn’t tell if it was her imagination,

But Pipi’s mother seemed to be examining her body with great interest.

From head to toe...

’What…’

’What is she doing?’

’She seems to be mumbling something strange?’

’What, a child? Wedding Time? pregnancy, Hah?!!’
