Episode 208 Secret (1)
Chatting with the girl I haven’t seen in a long time continued for a while.
We talked so much that even after we finished our tea, we brewed it more than once.
She put the teacup down quietly.
“If you are on a pilgrimage, shouldn’t you hurry? It sounds like you’re quite laid back…”
“I’ve already finished the things to do on the pilgrimage.”
“It is quite fast. Is it to meet me?”
Aira said with a mischievous smile.
“There is that, but I was thinking of going to see my family after a long time.”
In response to Ray’s affirmation, Aira lifts her collar to cover her face and smiles.
Even so, she was unbelievable.
I never dreamed that this situation would come.
With a clearing of his throat, he answered by catching himself up.
“hmm. Right.”
“Then I’ll stand up soon.”
“Ugh.”
Uncharacteristically for her, I hear a cute, regretful sound.
After a while, he shook his head and returned to his original form.
“okay. The rest of the story will be fine when you return from the Holy Land.”
“sorry. It’s because I don’t have much free time left even though I’m done with my work.”
“I understand. Don’t worry about this place.”
Unlike the time we talked, the greeting was quite short.
Leaving Aira’s house, Ray leaped from the tree.
In the past, it would have been a shock that would have strained the bones, but now this level can be easily received.
Pia, who has been waiting under the tree, notices him and approaches him.
“Have you met Aira-sama?”
“huh. It was still pretty.”
She also laughed at the joke that was not a joke.
Then and now, the talk is still the same.
“Looking at Aira-sama’s house, it looks like she’s about to leave?”
“I came here unintentionally, so I don’t have much time.”
“I will be able to come back soon. Because you were furious enough to beat the saint. Ahaha.”
“Well, it will be in a few years.”
“but. A few years isn’t a very long time for an elf, even if it’s a human. Come on. Is there anyone else I need to meet?”
“okay. See you next.”
As he waved his hand along with the horse, Pia laughed as if he was embarrassed behind him as he walked away.
“Ahaha… I can no longer touch it.”
* * *
After passing through the elven forest, he crossed a large hill.
The more I moved away from the pleasant town noise, the deeper the memories grew.
I am deeply moved now that I am walking the path I have passed before.
Just like when I got my first vacation from the military.
The nostalgic scent gradually intensifies.
Since it was the right time, he was probably going to have a late lunch after Ale’s training.
A smile forms on my lips as I slowly see the house in front of me.
He hid his presence in order to surprise him.
Watching Hongyoung’s stealth skills, he stole over his shoulder and learned the stealth skills.
If Hongyoung saw this, it is so high level that he would have been angry, saying that there is a degree to stealing over his shoulder.
As I carefully approached and opened the door, a sword flew straight out of the air.
Piing-!
It was a sharp call that sounded like a gong.
Embarrassed, Ray immediately reached out and deflected the sword, and this time the tableware flew.
The plate flies in a circle.
But the number was so exquisite that there was no gap in either direction.
The plate that was thrown with plenty of mana was too afraid of fragments to be broken, and the door exploded when I tried to avoid it.
I had no choice but to put mana in my hand and catch the flying saucer.
he said in a bewildered voice.
“Wait a minute! It’s me, Ray!”
“Eh?”
Ale stopped the hand that was about to throw the tableware.
Sein, who was trying to cast magic by summoning mana, stops the chant.
The technique that can be cut off freely during the chant made me realize again that my mother is a considerable mage.
“Who am I again… Show off your face and go around, Inseok-ah.”
Ale calmly set the plate in her arms down on the table.
The sword was already half drawn at his waist, and if he hadn’t been in a hurry, he would have been sparring as soon as he got home.
Sein quickly stood up from his seat and hugged him.
“ray!”
It’s almost suffocating from how tightly I hugged her.
“How long is this? My sweet son!”
“I stopped by while on a pilgrimage. Do you have rice? I came from afar and I am hungry. Ahaha.”
“Hang in there! I’ll serve it right away!”
Ale put her hand on Sain’s shoulder as he watched Sein walk away from the kitchen.
“By the way, what just happened? Grabbing the plate containing mana?”
“I wouldn’t have caught it if it wasn’t for me. Did you throw it to kill me?”
“You can’t leave alive a guy who enters someone else’s house without permission.”
“I almost killed my son just now.”
“I wish I hadn’t died. Go up to this floor rather than that. Hehehe.”
“huh? why?”
“Stop talking and go upstairs.”
While going up, push your back and follow me.
What the hell is going on with this kind of reaction?
inevitably went upstairs.
He feels a small presence on the side of the room he used.
When I opened the door with a half-stubborn and half-expected heart, there was a cute baby lying there.
“No way…”
“Hahaha. Are you surprised? Anyway, are you surprised by this?”
Why are you so blind to surprise yourself?
Anyway, this one was a little surprising.
You’re my brother! Born as an only child, I am quite moved by the existence of a younger brother whom I am meeting for the first time.
He knelt down in his clothes and looked at his sleeping brother.
“It’s very small…”
“Yes. Ray, there was a time when you did this too.”
“Clean.”
I clean my hands with magic and try to press my brother’s cheek.
The degree of softness exceeded the limit.
It was similar to when I pressed Aira’s cheek.
“Uuuuu…”
Did he wake up from the feeling on his cheek?
The eye of the child who was lying down opens with a babbling sound.
When the blue eyes that are similar to hers face each other, for some reason, I feel a surge of emotion.
I have no choice but to respond to that impression.
Ray pressed his cheek again.
Cock-cock-
My brother’s cheek is not a doorbell, so I keep pressing it.
“Oooh.”
In response to his younger sister’s complaint, something came to Ray’s mind.
That memory of when Ale rubbed himself against his bearded chin.
My hand gestures stopped abruptly at the thought that I was doing the same thing as my father.
“…Are you angry?”
Ale, who looked at the pranks of his children with a happy gaze, answered.
“He must be annoying to keep poking me.”
It is not convincing at all even if the person who tried to crush him with a high-performance blender attached to his jaw said.
said Ray scratching his head.
“Sorry for being so soft. ha ha ha.”
Cock-cock-
It is a demonic touch that cannot be stopped.
Indeed, he deserves to be called his younger brother.
As he continued to touch his cheek, his half-open eyes widened.
“Oooh!”
It wasn’t Ray who didn’t know that it was a fierce resistance.
Hana herself also went through this process and grew up.
Shaking his head, he denied his brother’s first will.
“Originally, this is how children grow up.”
Next to me, my father cheered me on.
“cancer.”
Cock-cock-
As I was touching my brother’s cheek, Sain came up to the room.
“…Were you harassing Lacia here again? Come on down. Because the meal is ready.”
Judging from the fact that her mother asked if she was bullying her again, Ale probably came up here all day and harassed her younger sister in her spare time.
You can anticipate how annoyed you will be.
“Lacia? Is that your name?”
“huh. I took your name.”
Ray and Lacia.
Isn’t that a pretty good sound?
It was probably the mother’s side that gave it the name.
There is nothing worse than his father’s naming sense.
When I came down from the room and went to the table, there were a huge number of side dishes.
Is this what it means to have a broken upper leg?
There’s no more room at the table, so I can’t put it down.
Ale was the first to be surprised by the sight.
“Oh my God… the meal for newlyweds…”
“It’s done, so let’s eat. It’s been a long time since I’ve worked hard, so don’t leave it behind. Ho ho ho.”
“This happened because Ray was here! ha ha ha!”
I sat down and smiled at the warm conversation I hadn’t had in a long time.
However, it is difficult to eat it all without leaving any leftovers.
It was natural that it was enough to feed five paladins under his command.
Sain sat next to him and asked.
“How is Seongguk? Can you get along? Wouldn’t you dare to be territorial?”
If you show a little territorial attitude, you are ready to run.
I shook my head at my mother’s question.
“There is no bullying. Except for being a little too inflexible.”
Ale smiled awkwardly.
“Well… that’s because it’s Seongguk, so there’s nothing we can do about it.”
“You’ve been there for over a year. Did anything interesting happen?”
It’s fun.
If it’s fun to subdue a necromancer after receiving orders from the pope to defend the border at the cost of one’s life, or to kill a bone dragon and extract its heart, then it’s fun.
If not, would it be enough to destroy the third force called Proxia, which could even oppress the Lessian Empire?
Thinking deeply, he shook his head.
“There is no such thing as fun enough to stay in my head.”
“That’s a bit fortunate… It’s good to not have a job.”
I wholeheartedly agree with what my mother said.
As the saying goes ‘no news is good news’ even in modern times, ordinary life is the best.
While eating, he talked about the events that happened in the Holy Kingdom in a slightly dramatized way, and asked what he had been curious about.
“By the way… why aren’t my father and mother surprised that I’m a magic swordsman?”
A normal family would be very surprised.
Of course, their mother, Sein, is a considerable mage, and their father, Ale, is a swordsman who was close to a sword master, so it is not an ordinary family.
However, it is not possible that there is no response at all.
After thinking for a moment, the two answered at the same time.
“Well, because we taught…”
“Well… Because you taught me when you were little?”
“Was Ray smart too?”
“yes.”
“….”
In the end, the question led to a lot of trouble.
If we go on like this, there is no end.
I don’t know what it is, but the two of them have been in this way since the old days.
It’s like trying to hide something.
he asked directly.
“…We are not an ordinary family, are we?”
Ale and Sain’s expressions, which always laughed at that one word, hardened little by little.
* * * As
soon as I opened my eyes, what I saw in front of me was a handsome young man who screamed.
‘…It’s dazzling.’
Skin like white jade and deep blue eyes.
The elegantly protruding bridge of the nose made me wonder if it was an elf that I had only heard about.
Judging from the atmosphere around her, it seems that this person is her own brother.
Until now, the only brother who was afraid of himself was the only one who felt uncomfortable with this endless affection.
Anyway, this too will fade soon.
‘He must have ended his life… Why did he come to this point again?’
Even after a cool analysis of the situation, the reason could not be ascertained.
I’d rather go to sleep I thought so and closed my eyes.
I was annoyed by the constant feeling of touch on my cheek.
Cock-cock-
‘Stop. stop.’
“Oooh.”
Thoughts turned to babble.
did you understand that?
The courteous brother withdrew his hand.
“…Are you angry?”
“He must be annoying to keep poking me.”
“Sorry for being so soft. ha ha ha.”
There was no apologetic feeling at all in his tone.
No, rather, it is a face that seems to enjoy it.
Cock – Cock –
‘No!’
Her little eyes widened.
What does it mean to keep poking you saying you’re sorry!
bothered! go away!
“Oooh!”
Despite babbling with all his will, the desired reaction did not come out.
My brother shook his head and denied his will.
“Originally, this is how children grow up.”
“cancer.”
The rich become very paired and harass.
The brutality of the two stopped only when the mother came up.
After a few conversations, the two of them followed their mother down.
Barely regaining her alone time, she closed her eyes.
‘Haa… It’s a noisy house…’
