Chapter 280 They were Automatically Translated to a Wrong Direction (1/2)
Early on the morning of my fifth day in the Hydra Kingdom, I came to where I met the grandpa before again to talk to him.
[I see, you’re leaving this evening huh.]
[Yes…… Ahh. but I’ll come back to visit from time to time.]
[Fuhahaha, you really are quite the honest one, aren’t you? Even though I asked you, I didn’t expect you would come to visit me here everyday, you know?]
[Ah, now, well, I had plenty of time to spare anyway……]
Incidentally, I’ve been coming to this place where I met this grandpa every morning since I met him.
It seems that this grandpa has some work he needs to do, so we weren’t able to talk for that long, and we just had some light conversation.
[Ohh, that’s right! Since this is the last day of your stay here in Hydra Kingdom, how about we go drink some tea?]
[Unnn? Ah, yes.]
[I have an acquaintance who eats unusual sweets, and this one is my favorite.]

[……Is that a rice cracker?]
[Umu, I think that’s what it’s called.]
The grandpa is still advancing the casual talk as usual, and I noticed that the topic of conversation had switched already, but I don’t particularly care about that as I’ve gotten used to it over the past few days.
More importantly, I didn’t expect to see rice crackers in this place…… I wonder if this grandpa’s acquaintance is someone who held the role of Hero back then?
[I can’t get enough of this rice cracker and green tea…… Here, let’s eat together.]
[Thank you.]
With a grin on his wrinkled face, the old man offered me a teacup with green tea and some rice crackers, which I accepted and ate with him.
How should I say this…… We’re currently eating on a coast, but I feel like I’m eating on the veranda…… It somehow reminded me of my grandfather, and I feel a bit nostalgic.
I haven’t seen them much since my parents died and my other relatives took me in…… I wonder if they’re doing well?
[Hmmm. This is good.]

[Yes, and the sea breeze also feels nice.]
[Ohh, you can understand huh!? The wind here is really great!]
It’s good to relax while looking at the sea like this once in a while.
While I was thinking about such things and taking a bite of the rice cracker in my hand, the grandpa suddenly spoke with a calm tone in his voice.
[However, you are quite the good man, aren’t you? You aren’t even showing a hint of displeasure on your face even when this old man is talking about worldly matters.]
[I enjoy talking to grandpa too, and I also learned lots of things from you.]
[Hahaha, I see! You really are a pleasant young man…… I don’t mean to badmouth the youngsters these days, but most of them are always pressed for time. It couldn’t be helped, for our time in this world is limited but…… I don’t like having such thoughts that much.]
As I grew up in Japan, I feel that people in this world are using their time wisely, but from the grandpa’s point of view, they seem to be in quite a hurry.
What the grandpa is saying certainly is right, time is limited for humans…… You can’t reverse the time that has flown past. No, well, I certainly know a few people who might be able to overturn that law but……
[Are you saying that because we have a limited amount of time, it’s better to use that time for your heart’s desires?]

[Ahh, there’s nothing wrong with rushing things or being impatient about things. However, if we live our lives pressed for time, we would be stuck in a vicious circle, wouldn’t we? Sometimes, it’s important to take your mind off things, and look at the grand sceneries of the journey you’re traveling in.]
[That’s really deep.]
[Foufoufou, if that’s what you think about such words, then you’ll be alright.]
I don’t know if it’s because of all the experiences he had accumulated, but his words sound like he had lived much longer than I have. Trying to etch those words in my mind, I thought about making sure that I didn’t forget to keep some leeway in my mind.
Well, I’m fortunate enough to be blessed with people. There are plenty of people who would admonish me or reach out their hands to me when they find out that I’m in a hurry…… And I’m really grateful and happy for that.
[Well, putting those things aside…… I’ll be repeating myself but, young man, you’re a good man.]
[Huh? E- Errr, thank you?]
[Umu, what do you think? How about you become my husband (muko)?]
[Eh? Ummm…… Are you talking about me marrying your grandchild?]
[U- Umu…… O- Oohhh, that’s right!]

(T/N: Muko means two things, it could mean being your husband/groom, which the King here asked Kaito. The other one is son-in-law, which is what Kaito thought, since someone with the face of a grandpa said that.)
