Chapter 20 – Daydreamer (1/2)

Well the Chapter Part is quite small, but the next part is long. This author needs to learn to put more better cliffhangers so I can cut the part at that point and give you guys good pleasure of getting heart pierced with bullets with the word’Cliffhanger’ engraved on them. This Chapter was/is made possible through the donation of the same guy from yesterday. ‘Brandon Pittman‘. Pay respects. There you go have fun. [EDIT: I always forget the excerpts]

Chapter 20 『Daydreamer』

「『EiOi–Ah–』?」

「Either talk or eat, Minato」

Having being said that from mom sitting in front of my mom, I silently, tried to finish my confrontation with the large-sized BLT sandwich.

「……You’re going to select the method to eat, right. As expected of my son.」[ET: sarcasm from mom!]

This made by who is right now sighing, is one of my favorites even after I have reincarnated.

The food is the bacon from the meat of hunted demons, lettuce of more than 3 metre size, and cheese made from unknown ingredient, which mom doesn’t tell me, but it’s tasty so I don’t care.It’s important to get used to it.

Aside from that, on this seat of breakfast, I heard quite an interesting words from mom.

「……Fu, Thanks for the food. So what was it?」

「It’s『Daydreamer』. When I was adventurer before, my friends called me that as a sort of sarcasm.」

Yeah, that’s right, that’s right.

『Daydreamer』

Changing into Kanji, it would mean『Visionary』or『Guy who dreams』, it should be.

『Daydream』=『day dream』, it means 『dreaming in day』or『fantasizing』.(TN: 『デイドリーム』=『day dream』author wrote in English)

In simple words, people call those people having naive thinking or unreal fantasies in their as『Person who dreams the whole day. a.k.a daydreamer』, something like that.

My mom was used to called that by her friends because she used to dream more, or rather, her thinking was naive or something like that.

She would give charity to a complete stranger, just on a whim,

or she would forgive the person who deceived her, on her mood,

Against a reckless opponent, she would also fight in a reckless way,

As an adventurer, no, as a person living in this world with magic and swords, her thinking is called as『naive』, and someone would pull carpet from under her feet. Her this kind of thinking was more in those times.

But, why is letting me know about it now.

When I ask, her reply is『You also have the same aura around yourself』

「Do you mean that i might end up as an adult with that『naive』thinking?」

「No, it feels different than that. In your case」

「?」

When I think a vague answer came back, Mom, from the other side of table bends forwards and looks into my face, my eyes.

Without paying attention to me being bewildered, her gaze gets poured into me.

「……Sometimes, I can’t tell your mental age, exactly. Because from childhood, you were always somewhat adult-like, with strange things and your knowledge too.」

It can’t be helped that I got startled.

Well, my interior age is 18(at the time of death)+15(now). I’m going to be 16 soon.

I don’t know if she knew it or not, but her next words,

「Before it felt like you, yes, you had thoughts just like a child of 13 years old, but right now, it doesn’t feel like your mental age is not growing from a child.」

「Not growing?」

「Yeah. Your knowledge part of mental age is like that of 15 year old child, but this is different. It feels like……that though your body is growing, but the inside is not growing from the childhood of yours.」

……This person is really sharp.
