Event Story – Castle of scary family! ch.7

[kozvme]

Oscar: Will, are you here?



Will: Welcome to my abode. I will do my worst to host our guests...

Hmm, that's not it... I should be more intimidating...

You did not know? You cannot leave the demon king's house.

No... That's not scary at all...

If you become my dependents, I shall give you half of my inheritance.

That's not it... my voice needs to be lower...

Oscar: Will?

Will: Huh...? Oscar-san?



Oscar: Sorry. I knocked but there was no answer, so I let myself in. 
You've been practicing all this time?

Will: Yes...
I'm having trouble because I feel something is not quite right...

Oscar: I see... Which part are you having problems with?

Will: The demon king's intimidating aura... He's not angry nor in a bad temper, and I don't know how to express that...

Oscar: I see... not angry, nor in a bad temper...
Then, I should be able help you with that.

Will: You can?

Oscar: Yeah, the citizens tend to be afraid of me even if I act normal. It might provide you with a clue.

Will: Now that you mention it...
Hehe, you're such a kind mentor to me, so I didn't realize that until you brought it up.

Oscar: Is that right?
But I can't explain to you why I scare them.
So how about accompanying me?
You might notice something if you see it first-hand.

Will: It makes sense... but wouldn't that make you uncomfortable?

Oscar: Don't worry about it. I'm used to frightening people.

Will: ......
Then I’ll accept your kind offer.
There's no point in worrying about it, and taking a stroll with you will be a good distraction.

Oscar: Alright, let's go.



Will: Where are we going?

Oscar: To the pet shop.

Will: Pet shop? It's not the usual one, is it?

Oscar: That's right. Because whenever I visit a new shop, the employees tend to be scared.
Sometimes I can't even interact with them.

Will: It's that bad...?

Oscar: Watch.

Will: ?

Oscar: The employee was surprised just by me looking inside the store.

Will: ... Is that how it is? I think they're just restocking the shelves, though.

Oscar: No, our eyes met just now, and they looked away in panic. Their hands are probably shaking too.

Will: Now that you mention it, I can see them trembling, but... that's probably just your imaginationー
Ah... They dropped the canned cat food.

Oscar: Will, I'll show you what it means to be 'intimidating'.
