Chapter 62 (2/2)

The lack of understanding reflects on his expression.

s.h.i.+en opens his mouth.

「You have finally become able to speak」

「Wait a moment. What do you mean by finally?」

「Baachan…… there was a time where what I said became a pledge. I was scared of talking. That’s why I spoke only a little」

「Ivar…… you can speak properly, don’t you?」

「Un」

「I’m glad. I thought I had to teach you how to speak」

「Are you not scared?」

「N? What? What is scary?」

「Someone like me」

「Ivar is not scary. I don’t quite understand, though」

「I will become like that when I go run out of control」

「Like that? Ah, you mean b.l.o.o.d.y. Un, I was scared Ivar might die」

「I didn’t mean that, I might forcibly subordinate you……」

「Ivar won’t do something like that」

「But……」

「It’s fine because I know Ivar won’t do that」

「U…… un……」

Even though it’s okay to cry. I take out a handkerchief from my pocket and wipe Ivar’s tears…… he’s still a child, isn’t he……

「So? Who is Ivar going to learn from?」

When I turn towards s.h.i.+en, a voice responds from behind him.

「He will receive guidance from this village…… I’m really sorry Koyu-sama, but I would like to remove Ivar from the escort. Is that fine?」

「I see. It’s for Ivar’s growth. That might be better. I would like to meet sometimes again, though」

「May I visit at Baachan’s place?」

「Of course. You are welcomed anytime. I will be waiting」

「Un. I will come at once」

「Ivar…… only after you are authorized for proper control, alright?」

「Authorized?」

「Umm…… is there no term for this in this language…… right, only after the person teaching you says『You will be fine now』!」

「I will do my best」

Un, un…… don’t cute children have to be sent on a journey? This is similar. Just pampering and spoiling him is no good.

「So. Ivar’s situation is cleared. Next is……」

「Yes, it’s Koyu-sama’s turn」

Ah……

I have forgotten…… yes, it’s my turn, isn’t it? Umm, what is it…….
