Speakin about family: Is Raku older than Riku?

IIRC, the family looks like this:
Riku gets born, but it is revealed that she has no exorcism-powers. Which makes her utterly useless in a fight against demons, which is "unacceptable" for one of humanity's most important/powerful exorcist-families.
Father gets angry and kills Riku's mother for giving birth to "defective" exorcists.
Sometime later, he has another wife who gives birth to Rook.
->Story begins.

If humans are monogamous in this story, then Riku must be the oldest daughter/child of the Barusek family... unless they are polygamous of course... or the father had a mistress while he was married to Riku's mother (the mistress being Rook's mother who was married to fill the recently opened position of wife).
Do we have any idea about this? Maybe in one of the untranslated chapters?

Siblings go as such:
Raku - same mother as Rook - in ch1, she's already 15 years old
Riku - from different mother - in ch1, she's 7 years old
Rook - same mother as Raku - in ch1, he's 4 years old

and in a story that has multiple branch families, common practice is to have multiple wives/mistresses . . . and the mistress is Riku's mother

the term is concubine

concubine has legal standing
mistress don't

Chapter 58. Hey Riku, you're being a bit too subtle here. I don't quite get it...

I wonder how long it will take Rook to find out what he did lol.

Namorax · 2016-04-06, 07:10

Rook did nothing.

It is ALWAYS the others who were at fault.

The irony being that it was because he did nothing that one time when he should have that he is in this mess...

Chapter 60: nope, that didn't hurt at all!

We sure are on a roll of cliffhangers lately...

just a scratch.

Mikobun · 2016-04-07, 14:24

^ A scratch? Her arm's off! It wasn't just a flesh wound.

Just marathoned the series, really glad this series isn't just another boring isekai stories with the overpowered main character leveling up and increasing the harem count, then Riku happened.

Like one or two chapter from the current translated one (61).

He did consume the real MC's soul, so that's for the start.

She had lost her dominant hand though, and to make it worse her hand most likely won't grow with spell like other fantasy series. If only she had transmutation skill to create a mechanical hand that can summon a laser beam satellite powered by magic to wipe an entire demon army like a certain stupid OP character from another series, too bad she has no magic at all.

mufarasu · 2016-04-09, 22:20

I was thinking they'd grab her hand and sew that shit back on.
Then bloodline powers will activate super healing and she'll be good as new in no time. Maybe?

Well, that is obviously the original Rook's fault. If he wasn't that weak, the other sould wouldn't have been able to take over! ^^

I mean, the original Rook was supposed to be a telented genius, and then some random shmuck from Japan replaced him...
(Also, he didn't consume. That would imply the soul is no longer there, but Not-Rook is only parasitising it. The Reaper consumes souls. Unless Not-Rook = Reaper.)

Yoburi · 2016-04-10, 09:56

Next chapter i sure she will tell him all the killings she being doing and how he is the reason for all that.

let's see . . . during that time in chapter 1, real-Rook was just 4 years old while fake-Rook was much older (did it mention what age he died before crossing over?) . . . so how could you expect a 4 year old to repeal an older soul who ...if I guess right... is sort-of 'aggressively hellbent' on being the MC of this 'game' . . . heck, at that time fake-Rook was already in possession of the body so he could had already killed/ate real-Rook's soul much earlier . . .

if only he had saved her before, then no such killing of many humans would had happen... especially for his haremettes . . .

Did you miss the recent reaper chapter? He told Rook that he only had one soul now and that he had killed the original soul.

Namorax · 2016-04-11, 13:35

I understood this as "If you leave this body right now, the other soul will be too atrophied to properly function". Rook would turn into "a vegetable" without Not-Rook's soul.

You can debate if that means Rook is "dead" or not.
