254.I think Roxy and I let out a voice at the same time.
255.Lara has yet to say her name.
256.Or rather, she has yet to say anything at all.
257.So what is this...? I thought, when Roxy came to a realization and stared at Royn.
258.
259."...Can our girl use telepathy?"
260."Huh? Yeah. She still has a little difficulty with it, but is clearly understandable."
261.
262.Roxy and I exchanged glances.
263.
264.The shocking truth that just came to light.
265.That our little girl was an esper.
266.
267.Thinking it over, it really isn't that strange of a thing.
268.Roxy can't use telepathy, but both of Roxy's parents can.
269.Which means it just isn't hereditary.
270.
271."You weren't aware?"
272."...None of us can use telepathy, you see?"
273."Really...? But Lara says she often talks with grandma."
274.
275.Grandma.
276.In this case, Lara's grandmother...doesn't refer to Rokary.
277.It's Zenith.
278.
279."Ahh..."
280.
281.At the same time, I reached a sort of understanding.
282.Miko had said so, that Zenith can read others' minds.
283.Thus, Lara was quite the chatterbox in Zenith's memory.
284.The always silent Lara who wore a stern expression.
285.She had happy memories of chatting with Zenith.
286.
287.I see, telepathy.
288.Lara had always been talking with telepathy, which is how she was able to converse with Zentih.
289.
290."...."
291.
292.For some reason, I'm relieved.
293.But Roxy didn't share my feelings.
294.She had a somewhat troubled expression while hanging her head.
295.She might be thinking about how her daughter can do something she herself cannot.
296.It was getting dark here.
297.
298."Really... Eh? What should I do... Lara, it's daddy~" I said, standing up and brushing Lara's head.
299.Lara didn't smile or anything, just staring at me.
300.She's probably saying something.
301.
302."She says she has no idea what you're saying."
303.
304.Oh dear?
305.Oh, right, I was speaking in the Demon God language.
306.
307.'Lara, it's daddy~'
308.
309.This time I used the human language and peered at Royn.
310.
311."She says she knows that."
312.
313.Oh, she knows.
314.I suppose that's natural, there's no way she wouldn't.
315.I say it often enough, anyway.
316.
317.Nevertheless, how dry.
318.I think even a "I love you Dady" would be fine even as just lip service.
319.Recently, even Lucy been saying it.
320.
321.I suppose language and telepathy aren't related, though.
322.Maybe spoken words come off with a different nuance...
323.I suppose so, otherwise conversing with Zenith would be difficult.
324.
325."At any rate, I was thinking she was a bit of a late bloomer, but I'm actually a little relieved."
326."She's still young so she can only speak with her head, but I'm sure she'll be speaking with her mouth before long," Royn said with a nostalgic smile.
