The day after I subjugated the demon, Michel-san’s training was upgraded yet again .
Why?
In addition, grandpa and grandma’s appearance also looked a bit strange . There was some kind of a subtle mood drifting between them .
Why?
After spending a day with that kind of unknown situation, grandpa called me over to talk when I got out from the bathtub I created soon after I learned enchanting magic .
“Shin, do you have a moment, please . ”
“Hmm? Grandpa?”
“There is a little story I have to tell you . ”
“Hmmm . ”
By the way, grandma and Michel-san had already gone home . Somehow, they were always around, but just like the other day, they almost never stay over, and it wasn’t like they came every day as well .
And in such a situation where there’s only two of us left, grandpa started his talk .
“Actually, Shin, I would like to talk about your origin . ”
Advertisement“My origin?”
So it was about that, huh, does he want to talk about the time when he found me?
“Actually, umm, Shin, you’re not my real grandson . ”
“Eh?”
…Sorry, I already knew about that…
“I’m sorry… for having kept quiet about this until now . ”
“No… I don’t mind something like that…”
For now, let’s straighten out the story here .
“And so… if I’m not your real grandson, why am I living with you, grandpa?”
“It’s something that had happened about 9 years ago . By chance, I was walking down the road to goshopping in a nearby town . Then, while I was walking, the rain started to fall, and I strayed from the road a little to seek shelter from the rain in the nearby forest . ”
“Rain…”
Come to think of it, it was also raining at that time .
“Back then… there seemed to have been a carriage that had passed by earlier… but it looked like it had been attacked by demons… and it was in a terrible condition . ”
A demon… a carriage that was attacked… I can somehow imagine it .
“All around laid the wreckage of the destroyed carriage and… the… mangled human remains… I came near the scene because I thought there might be some survivors, or at very least, I can mourn for the victims . After I did that… I heard a baby’s crying voice from the surrounding of the carriage’s wreckage . ”
Grandpa firmly fixed his gaze on me as he was told the story up to that point .
“I panicked and searched for the owner of that voice . It was then… when I found the baby . ”
“And that was me…”
“That’s right . Probably when the carriage was attacked, you lost consciousness due to shock . And when it started to rain, it lowered your body temperature, and you were almost at a state of suspended animation . It was probably because of your state that you weren’t noticed by the demon, and was left alive . ”
So that’s what happened, I started to think it was strange to be left alive even though a demon had attacked, but I had fallen into a state of suspended animation, huh . Maybe it was because of the overwhelming stress that the memories of my previous world had returned . And maybe it was also because of it, that I was able to recover from my state of suspended animation?
“I’m not certain how you recovered from your state of suspended animation . But you recovered your breathing just as I came close to you . I thought it was fate, and after I mourned for the victims, I carried you back home with me . ”
“So… who are my parents and where are they from?”
“I’m sorry, but because they were mercilessly murdered… I couldn’t find a single thing that could identify them . ”
“Hmm, is that so . ”
“…You’re considerably calm about this…”
Hmm yea, after all…
“Even after being told about my parents, it’s probably because I don’t remember them at all . ”
“There is also that fact, huh . ”
In addition…
“And besides, I have you, grandpa”
“…!”
That’s right, there was still grandpa who really dotes on me and raised me even though I wasn’t his real grandson .
“And there’s also Grandma Melinda, Uncle Michel . In addition, there’s also Uncle Dis, Chris-neechan, and even though he’s a frivolous person, there’s also Sieg-niisan . ”
There are names of people who have yet to make an appearance, so please forgive me .
“Look, that’s why I have never once thought I was lonely because I don’t have parents . Rather, it’s already too noisy that it’s troublesome . ”
“Shin…”
And so…
“That’s why, grandpa . ”
“Hmm?”
“Thank you for finding me . ”
He saved my life .
“Thank you for helping me . ”
And always letting me eat delicious meals .
“Thank you for doting on me”
And for teaching me all sorts of magic .
“I am very happy to be taken in by grandpa . ”
Even though I immediately met with such misfortune soon after I was born, right now I am so blessed . I haven’t had this much happiness before .
“Shin… u, urgh… u, u, U ou uu!”
Not good, grandpa really cried . However, it was my true feelings, so it was good that I was able to say it .
Grandpa, thank you .
