Escanor decisively rejected Jon's request.

Because he felt that even without the Demon King's commandments, he was enough to deal with all troubles!

——He is so confident during the day.

But at night.

Escanor regretted wearing the thick-soled glasses.

"Idiot, why should I refuse!"

Escanor grabbed his hair in annoyance and couldn't help but murmured: "If you can absorb those special powers, you can better protect Miss Marlene."

The sheep were really sad when they heard it, and the little black tiger was in tears.

All I think about is the goddess.

I can only say that the purity of Escanor is high...

But things are already like this, and there is no use regretting anymore.

As for lowering his face and asking for another chance, Escanor never even thought about it.

"No problem. If you miss it, just miss it. I can protect Marlene by relying on my own strength."

There was no other way, Escanor had no choice but to comfort himself in his heart.

At this moment, Diane came to ask him to eat: "Escanor, Escanor, Lord Jon has made a lot of delicious food, and it's just waiting for you to eat."

"Got it." Escanor responded softly, holding his glasses and walking out of the room.

Return to the lobby.

But I saw a table with all kinds of dishes.

Jon, wearing a chef's hat, explained while serving the dishes: "Marlene needs to do some experiments on goblins and giants, and won't be back for a short time. In order to fill her shortage, I haven't left recently."

"Okay~"

"Wuhu~"

“Awesome~”

The two women and the pig immediately cheered.

Only Escanor was a little disappointed.

It's not that Jon's food isn't delicious.

But...

never mind.

Now that things have come to this, what else is there to say?

Escanor sighed softly in his heart, sat down silently, and began to eat like a transparent boy.

As expected of a famous chef who can make flowers from the Demon Clan, all kinds of flavors bloom on the tip of the tongue, diluting the sadness in Escanor's heart.

"Eat more and see if you lose weight."

For some reason, Jon deliberately gave Escanor more care during the dinner.

Such behavior left Escanor at a loss.

He stood up, thanked and declined politely.

Jon didn't say anything, he just forcefully pushed the food to him.

Such obvious favoritism made Diane feel jealous.

Piggy and Elizabeth also cast envious glances at Escanor.

There were some ripples in Escanor's heart...

This feels pretty good?

The next few days.

This care is becoming more and more deliberate.

It's fine when the sun rises.

Escanor, a proud man, doesn't need special treatment from anyone.

But the sun sets.

The skinny little Escanor could clearly feel that Jon Joestar was releasing his own kindness.

"Why?" Escanor asked himself.

He couldn't understand.

What is it about you that is worthy of the other person’s ‘investment’?

strength?

He is as strong as Captain Meliodas.

Knowledge?

Uh, even more impossible.

Here comes the problem...

What are you trying to do with me?

With such doubts, Escanor found Jon in the kitchen one night, spent a long time talking about it, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"Why? Because you lack love, so I am conducting 'desensitization' training on you."

Jon said naturally: "Although you have never said it, everyone with a personality defect has an incomplete childhood. Escanor, because of your overly powerful power, you are treated differently by your family."

Let’s get through it.”

It takes a lifetime to dispel the shadow of childhood.

The topic got so intense that Escanor couldn't continue the conversation.

Bitter.

It was very hard for him when he was a child.

As the second prince of the Tarim Kingdom, even if he does not receive the love of his parents, he is also targeted at every turn.

His only brother also regarded him as a monster and always bullied him with a stick.

Finally one day, the emotional Escanor's magic power broke out and injured his brother's right arm. Since then, the family could no longer tolerate Escanor, and even openly wanted him.

Escanor's mouth was extremely bitter: "I'm actually fine..."

"There's no need to hide it. What do you have to hide in front of me?" Jon pushed Escanor down on a recliner: "Telling it will make you feel better."

A bard who doesn't want to be a psychiatrist is not a good cook.

These days, what you play for is overall strength.

Escanor didn't want to talk about it.

But when he met Jon's extremely sincere eyes, he was inexplicably relieved.

After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke: "I... am indeed a monster, wanted by my parents and the country. Growing up, only Sister Rosa was not afraid of me."

The story is simple:

The little prince is feared by his biological parents and older brother because of his excessive power. Only his personal maid is willing to take care of him, even betraying the country to help him escape from the land of right and wrong.

Later, the country was invaded by barbarians, and all his family members and the only maid who showed kindness were killed in the flames. Escanor had to start a wandering life.

By chance, he joined the Seven Deadly Sins and met the respectable Captain Meliodas and the badass woman Marlene. Marlene was very interested in Escanor's special physique and couldn't help but show her kindness. She has been short of love since she was a child.

Escanor had never seen such a battle before. He fell directly and became the goddess' number one licker.

"Lack of love in childhood, psychological trauma, single mother and child...the factors are complete, and it is understandable." Jon touched his smooth chin: "It is easy to treat your problem."

"Treat... cure?" Escanor didn't understand: "Lord Jon, I don't seem to have any disease worth treating."

"I said you have it, you have it." Jon said to Escanor sincerely: "People who don't have themselves will eventually lose themselves."

Escanor:???

So philosophical.

It's true that listening to you is better than just talking.

"For my little interest, I decided to let you fall in love." Jon chuckled: "You're welcome."

"Eh?!" Escanor was so shocked that he even dropped his glasses.

He thought of a possibility: "Could it be with Mama Mama Mama..."

After waiting for a long time, Lin didn't come out.

Jon shook his head and said: "You still can't handle a woman of Marlene's level. And she has never liked you from beginning to end, so don't do it in vain."

"Oh." Hearing this, Escanor's eyes dimmed visibly.

I know.
