Raphael's request was so simple that not only was Leo stunned, but Michael and Iris were just as confused.
Originally, it was a bet with an incredibly attractive reward, but now, through Raphael's words, it felt like... warm father-son affection?
Had Raphael ever said anything like this before? They had no memory of anything similar.
But the relationship between this father and son never seemed good enough for sentimental talks. Those two not staring at each other with wide eyes was already a good situation.
"What do you mean? Are you sure the request is only this simple?"
Leo asked back, unsure. He felt this request was too ordinary. If it contained something deeper, that would be understandable.
But contrary to his guess, Raphael had no other reaction besides gently nodding once.
"You're not hearing things. My request is just that. There's no deeper intention behind it either."
