“Didn't I?” he asks, not sounding very convincing. “I could have sworn I did...”
“Well, best to ask him again, just to be sure.” you reply, patting him on the back as gently as possible. “Even if you did, best to double check before announcing anything publicly, right?”
“Of course. I appreciate the time.” he replies, walking off towards your son. Only for another familiar face to appear by you, that of a man who'd been reborn in this world from another.
“So, when's the fireworks going down?” Kazuma asks, a cheeky grin on his face. “When those “Time Patrol” guys show up, I don't want to get caught in the crossfire, general.”
“Hopefully they won't be showing up again today.” you tell the young man, who looks shocked at your announcement. “After all, I nearly killed their boss today. She'd be stupid to send her weaklings after me now.”
“Wait, you beat up a Time Kai? How?” he asks, looking shocked and worried. “There's no way, how did you overpower time itself?”
“Trade secret.” you reply, then for just an instant touch on your Berserker God power. Not enough to transform, but long enough for him to sense the strength you now wield. But it isn't just Kazuma who senses your sudden surge of might, EVERYONE present instantly turns towards you. The planet itself trembles for just a moment, you powering back down and rubbing the back of your head nervously. “Seems that I still have a long way to go to controlling this power.”
“Woaaaaaah! Grandpa!” Meloka Wolbach shouts, dashing over from the wolf to you, eyes shining as she flies around you. “You're so super duper strong now! You're even stronger than you were at my last birthday when those bad guys showed up!”
“Of course kiddo. I have to keep getting stronger so those bad guys won't keep messing up all of your parties.” you tell her with a smile, catching her out of the air. “Just like today, they're not going to bother us.”
