Chapter 555 - 555: Need To Lie

"I understand what you're trying to say. And I already came to terms with the fact that they might be dead, but still, there's a small part in me that wants to know more about that world," Lucifer responded.

"Sigh, I won't blame you for that. You can stay here and try to find as much as you can. However, what about after that? Will you leave in search again?" Hun asked.

"I already got the clue. I don't need to search for them anymore. If I couldn't find anything significant here, I would drop the search forever."

"And after that?" Yui asked. "After you give up the search, will you stay here?"

Lucifer glanced at Yui, only nodding. He didn't say anything. If he got a way back, he was going to leave. But there was no need to tell them that.

"Good! You can stay in the mansion of ours! We can convince our family as well! Shall we go home and tell them now?" Yui asked, taking his nod as his willingness to stay here.

"I am staying here," Lucifer stated.

"Huh? Do you have anything else to ask? I think Gon already told us all he knew?" Hun let out.

"I understand that. It's just that I want to see the process of his summon and how it happens. I'm just really curious about it. After he is summoned, I will get back to the mansion."

"Sigh, are you sure? Brother, let's take Gon back as well in that case. He can accompany Lucifer there when he is summoned; he won't be far away. That way, he won't have to stay in this small house either?"

Hearing the suggestion of his sister, Lucifer started frowning. It was a bad plan. He couldn't stay with them. He needed to be in complete isolation with just the summoned beast. There were many risks otherwise.

Even if he somehow succeeded, if he was with Hun at the time, all of them were going to be sent to earth, including Hun.

Moreover, the energy of a High Beast might affect the spatial trip, messing with the destination. There was a reason the formation couldn't support a High Beast!

He started thinking of a way to say no. He needed to stay away from the High Beasts when he was with Gon, but apparently, he didn't even need a reason to say no as Hun spoke for him.

Hun shook his head. "It's impossible."

"Why?" Yui asked.

"We are talking about Gon! Father did let some High Beasts stay with us, but he won't allow Gon to stay here. He isn't a High Beast. There's no way father would even agree to it. In fact, he would scold us for even coming up with this idea! We can't bring Gon home," Hun explained.

'That's good. I won't need to lie again.' Lucifer thought, sighing a breath of relief.

"It's alright. You don't have to think too much about it. We can stay here. Moreover, it would be for a short time. As he said, he is summoned a few times every week. As soon as he is summoned, I will be back," he also chimed in.

"But, are you sure you can stay here? A place like this isn't suitable for High Beasts?" Yui asked.

"It's not. In my youth, I've even lived in smaller places. Moreover, I even slept in forests. It's not that hard for us," Lucifer replied.

"But-"

Hun placed his hand on the shoulder of his sister, stopping her.

"Sister, he has already made up his mind. You shouldn't try to force him. Moreover, it's for a short time as well. Let him get his peace of mind after seeing the summoning. It's something he needs to put his mind at rest and leave the painful chapter of his past behind."

Yui took a deep breath and nodded as she realized that she was getting carried over a little.

"I apologize. I wasn't trying to force you. If you want to stay here, then you will," she said before she looked at Gon. "These three will be staying here. Do you have any problems?"

"N-not at all! It would be my pleasure!" Gon said. There was no way he was going to say now.

He had finally managed to escape the conundrum without making these High Beasts upset. Now all he needed to do was host them until he was summoned again.

"Good. What's the sleeping arrangement here? Do you have enough beds? Or shall we send more?"

"I, ah, I sleep on the mattress on the ground. I don't have any extra." Gon scratched the back of his head, embarrassed.

"Fine. We'll send three beds. But then again, there's not even enough space for beds in this house. God, how do you even live in such a small house?"

Hun smiled wryly, seeing his sister so involved. "Sister? That's not appropriate. Don't forget; he isn't a High Beast. And he lives alone. So this house is pretty average for him. It's us who are coming here suddenly and expecting him to have all the facilities?"

He didn't understand why his sister was acting so weird suddenly?

"We can adjust two small beds in this place though. That would indeed be a problem," Hun muttered.

"Two would be enough," Lucifer chimed in. He wanted to end the discussion as fast as he could. If he didn't agree, these people weren't going to leave. And if the portal appeared now, it was going to be a mess for him.

"Two would be enough?" Hun asked.

"That's right. Only two of us would be sleeping at a time, while the third one will be keeping an eye on Gon, so we don't miss the summoning. The faster we're done with it, the faster we can be free. So two would be enough for us."

Even though he talked about two, in reality, he only needed one.

Hun opened his lips, trying to speak something, but Lucifer didn't let him speak and continued, "Can you help us that much?"

"Ah, S-sure. Do you even need to ask? We'll arrange for that right away." Hun stood up.

"Sister, come."

"You go. I'm going to stay here until you return."

"Ah, sister. What has happened to you today? You're really acting weird. Do you know how upset father would be if he found out that we spent so much time in this place? You need to get back home and stay with the family, so they are distracted."

"You should go. We'll be fine. Moreover, a little separation is always good for the bond," Lucifer also chimed in.. "We'll be fine here."
