Chapter 6 – Farewell and A Sudden Trip (2/2)

Once again something great. Ain’t this the famous fantasy world magic book. Is this real?

And, it was accompanied by a memo.

『This is what came out after breaking the ‘Demon Progenitor Coffin’. I read it all, so I’m giving it to you.』

So easily!? Is this easily alright!?

I thought it was a dangerous and powerful magic book but are you really going to give it to me as if giving some left-overs from dinner.

And the last,

It seems like an equipment set for adventuring.

isn’t this also all cloth. It has different feels when put on though.

First the gauntlets and leg armor. They seem perfect for my fighting style.

Both are jet black as if it will drown me but are shining with gloss due to reflection of light. I don’t know it’s raw materials. I think it might be metal.

Next is, training clothes sort of clothes for easier movement. The torso is sleeve less and the bottom is long pants. Both are black in color and have some lines of violet color in it. It is cool and awesome and all but it just gives more mysterious feels too.

And here once again a black overcoat. On it something like ancient words is tattooed in.

And the last, a black belt………?

No, it’s more like kimono belt?

That’s right, the black belt an advanced karate student wears.

And I discover a list sort of thing written in the letter.

According to it,

“Gauntlets & Leg armor” (made from Joker metal)

“The Darkness Cloth” ← Clothes

“Overcoat of Grim Reaper”

“Mom’s Handmade Black Belt”

I see, so gauntlets and leg armor have no name.

But what the hell is ‘Joker Metal’? I ain’t heard about it ever?

And “Darkness” and”Grim Reaper”,

Clothes and overcoat, both smell of cursed names, is it alright to wear them?

And your hand-made belt !?

No, well, it’s her hand-made and she is giving it to me at this moment it won’t be anything normal……probably.

So then, let’s look at their functions.

There are a lot of quirky and suspicious equipments. But well, she prepared them for me, I’ll use them.

By the way,

Now that I think about it, if I didn’t read this crap I would’ve left the house without these equipments, right? By all means there was reason for me to read this then.

If it’s like that keep the letter short. If it wasn’t for me, one would’ve ignored it.

While feeling lethargic, I once again run my eyes over the letter.

I read rest of contents (80% are love letter crap) with sincerity and tried to understand the situation.

Leaving the crap, there were warnings and the place I should depart to written. And it was written I would need special precautions due to my body constitution. [ET: So what? Finally Incubus work?]

I reread the letter sometimes and droved the important things in my mind. And started preparing for leaving! By the time I finished………

……It was already evening.

……I had no choice.I had to reread it to see if there was any other magic trick like before.

After reading a sum total of 659 pages (Is it a Kojien!!?) I saw the letter with bitter gaze and gave up on leaving the house today.

And, now that I think about it,

The night without mom besides me, is fresh or rather unsatisfying……

No, honestly………It feels sad and lonely.

Sigh. I can’t live in this house anymore. Boring.

It will feel much better than living in a house without mom. It will also act as a diversion.

……In the end, I’m have mother complex.

☆☆☆

The next day.

I wake up at 4 in the morning and packed all the stuff in the backpack.

“Alright. nothing left!”

It will be alright. I already checked 3 times. I stuffed all the important things in this hyperspace bag (personally named it)

I wear the normal clothes along with the equipment mom left for me.

There doesn’t seem to be any curse put on it. Yes, I’m glad it’s normal.

And I stood in front of the magic circle inside mom’s study’s hidden door. It gives out the feeling of ‘stand on me and I’ll throw you to other side of world’

Is she able to do this to?

I would’ve be fine with a normal departure but in letter it was written ‘If you want adventure styled departure with thrill then try this!’

If you say like that, I would obviously get my adrenaline high. I’m a male after all.

It’s fine. It feels like a new journey’s good departure.

I tried to recall all the 16 years I’ve lived in this house.

A lot of things happened. But well, a lot will happen from now on too.

After all, my world which consisted just me and mom will open up in one spurt.

I don’t know what sort of meetings I will have in the outside world, but that itself is included in journey. Bring it On!

I tried to step on magic circle……

I looked towards mom’s letter once again before stepping on circle.

I tied it and put it inside my bag except the love letter parts.

……It’s ending part was,

『Minato, let’s meet again somewhere, sometime later. Grow up as a good person and become reliable. I am excited from now already to meet the future you. I love you!

—From your pampering mom: Lilyn

P.S.

There might be a younger brother or sister of you made during the journey. At that time they are all yours ♪』

Leaving the last part every other parts permeates into the heart. No matter how much I read it.

And I don’t think the last line is something you say to a child.

–Anyhow!

I now have to show mom the reliable me the next time I meet her.All Right! Then Let’s go!

I slapped my cheeks to fill up my determination and jumped in the center of magic circle.

Immediately after,

I got wrapped in a flying sort of feeling and left the house…….flying through what seemed like another dimension road.
