"You don't happen to be Erza's son, right?"
Zach averted his gaze and said, "Of course not. Who is that?"
"Wait… if you are her son, that means…" The Sea Goddess circled around Zach and inspected his body from all sides.
"You are 'his' son?!" she exclaimed.
Zach averted his face this time and said, "Who are you talking about?"
"This reaction… you are just like him!" she shouted.
'Curse you, father! Why do I always run into your acquaintances!' Zach exclaimed inwardly.
"No wonder you have Erza's powers! And you… "The Sea Goddess sighed and uttered, "Now the more I look at your face, the more I remember him."
"Then don't look." Zach shrugged his shoulders and said, "And Erza is not my mother, nor do I have her powers. She lost her powers before I was born."
