Nagai Koto Chapter 012

The Long Journey Until I Reunite With You

Today, I Begin

I was Asakura Ryuuma was helplessly foolish In the place where the worthless boy died, surely nobody would be sad However, Velt Jeeha's parents were different Today, all throughout the country, many a tear were shed at the sad news The farmers, the co

「Velt, you know, I'll say it now, but I was your father's rival back in the day Taira, Bonapa and I were always going at each other as kids when Aruna was around In the end, having naught but a warm heart, she married Bonapa When you born from the two, I was happy Those tere truly irreplaceable existences for me」 (Melma)

Forna's father, in other words the king of the country, is neither strong nor especially gifted, unlike his daughter Even though he's royalty, he carries hienial to everyone, which was exactly what the people loved about him

「Velt There are no more words I can offer Bonapa and Aruna were )

It wasn't just how he appeared, the king was truly sad If his retainer and child were not here, he would probably be crying right now It wasn't just the king General Taira appeared , but when I think of how preciously ht of, it also made me proud

「Whoever captures the demon that killed those till receive a proper reward Rest assured I will do all I can within my power to help」 (Taira)

If it were Asakura Ryuuma, such words would be utterly unthinkable But, I ahtful and considerate now Words would not come out All I could do was nod And that wasn't all

「Now then, Velt If you like, would you stay in the castle until things cal)

「Eh, the castle?」 (Velt)

「Your home's not in any shape for you to live there Well, ten years old is too young to be hted as well You could go back and forth to school」 (The King)

Not good I'ain To be frank, I was reborn as a coic, which I thought was unlucky However, I'ht I alone was different But I, Velt Jeeha has people that love him this much

「Velt, you should It is certainlyalone」 (Forna)

Forna grabbed both htelse

However, I'm not the type to depend on others' kindness There's no real reason to, and for the nors settle down At the castle, I may be happy, but I won't be able to relax

「No way It's suffocating there」 (Velt)

「H you However, I cannot allow you to reood fried」 (The King)

Even though he says that, I was alone most of the time in the other word and there's no reason to worry, but I can't really say that can I

「Ah, in other words, rather than alone Would it be fine, to have someone watch over me?」 (Velt)

「W, well, if so)

Someone to watch over me There's only one person that I can think of

「Sensei」 (Velt)

「What?」 (Melma)

Sensei was standing quietly behind us during our exchange, beco mildly panicked when the conversation suddenly ca to panic more from here on

「I'll help out at the shop when I've got time So can I live there?」 (Velt)
