Chapter 404 It was a Cute Request (1/2)

After I finished drinking the coffee that Ozma-san made for me, I stood up after recovering from some of my fatigue.

Just as I was about to leave the place after thanking Ozma-san…… he had something to say.

[Ah~~ Miyama-kun.]

[Yes?]

[I know that it’s none of my business, but can I give you a little advice as your elder?]

[Y- Yes, I would love that.]

Brushing his shaggy hair with his hand, Ozma-san looked with gentle eyes and continued.

[You are a kind, humble and friendly young man. But I want you to remember that in some cases, humility may not be a virtue.]

[……Eh?]

[Miyama-kun, somewhere in your heart…… You’re feeling apologetic for asking someone’s help, don’t you? No, it’s not like I’m saying that it’s a bad thing. Uncle also knows that “you’re consciously trying to fix it”.]

[………………….]

This was also pointed out to me by Shea-san before. That the strength of the bonds I’ve formed is also my strength……

Just as Ozma-san said, after Shea-san told me that, I’ve been trying to consciously fix my thinking as much as possible. It’s just that, unnn…… I don’t know if it’s just because my personality was originally like this or I’ve just become used to being like this…… But there would always still be a part of me that felt sorry after asking someone for their help.

[Uncle thinks you’re thinking too hard, Miyama-kun. I think it would be better if you were to just relax a little more.]

[Become more relaxed?]

[Unnn. The people who are helping you, they’re helping you because they like you. You don’t have to think too hard about it. They like you, so they help you. You don’t think it’s troublesome to help a girl you like, right, Miyama-kun? The others also feel the same way when they help you.]

[……I guess you’re right.]

[Everyone has received the help of someone in their life. Whether it’s Uncle here, the Six Kings, or even God of Creation-sama…… As long as they lived wholeheartedly, someone would be there helping you. And when that happens, all you have to say is “thank you”.]

[……Yes!]

Ozma-san gently smiled again, before patting my head a little roughly.

[Well, you will still have lots of troubles you need to face in the future. There are still a lot of people you can help, and lots of people you can ask for help.]

[Yes.]

[I’m sure you’ll have more worries in the future, and some of them might make you suffer. But that’s okay too…… It’s okay to try things and fail. You’re still young. The more experience you accumulate, the more charming you can be. Troublesome things like “compromising” can be learnt slowly when you’re around Uncle’s age.]

It really was just unsarcastic advice from an elder.

He gave me gentle words of support……. Saying, “it’s okay to worry and it’s alright to fail, because that’s how I will grow.”

[……Or something like that. I guess serious words like these don’t really suit Uncle’s character~?]

[No, thank you very much! How should I say this, ummm…… It made me think again…… that I should try my best.]

[I see. Well, I’m glad to hear that.]

As he told me this, Ozma-san patted my head once more. He then moved his hand away and serenely smiled.

He then did that gesture of holding a cigarette in his mouth again. How should I say this…… He kinda looks like what a cool adult would be.

I wonder if that was the reason why? Even if it’s the brazen of me, I couldn’t help but say these few words.

[……If I have any more problems, can I ask you for advice?]

[Asking Uncle for advice…… Don’t you think you’ve picked the wrong person to ask?]

[No, I don’t think so.]

[Hmmm. Really? Well, if you don’t mind talking about it with a worn-out uncle, you can always visit me…… I should be able to serve you a cup of coffee.]

[Yes! Thank you very much!]

When Ozma-san, with a wry smile on his face, told me that I could visit him at any time to ask for advice, I deeply bowed once again and thanked him.
