Chapter Y1 (1/2)

Y1 Hero and the king

「Here. It's the local sake of the Budie province」

「Oh. I never drink that before. I look forward on what it taste like」

Although it's clean, the room has a lot of documents mixed up in it.

Thereupon, I passed the sake that I brought as a souvenir to father.

Father is a big drinker.

Usually when working alone, he drinks sake while working secretly, and it's becoming an open secret.

That's why I bring back unusual sake whenever I return.

From the standpoint of the king who can't go outside freely, this is a souvenir enough to make my father happy.

And, it's a custom to have a drinking bout together with the sake.

「Father, is your work going to be alright?」

「There's no problem. I can just reduce my sleeping time if there's a problem. The time together with my son who returns once in a while is more important than work」

I smiled wryly to father's answer.

The king's work is not as light as it can be said.

「Besides, Cyris have become accustomed to his position. Even if something happens to me by any chance, the country will be peace」

「Father, I admit that Brother is excellent, but this country still needs you. Please don't say such ominous thing」

I sigh quietly to Father who apologizes lightly.

Father took out two glasses from the shelf, and pour the sake into each glasses.

「Fumu. An unique smell」

「Yes. I bought it because I also like the smell. You will surely be pleased by it」

A mellow smell fills the room.

When our glasses touch, we drink the sake.

「Umu. The feeling of the sake going down my throat is soft. If it's like this, I can drink as much as I like」

「It's also popular among the woman in the local. I heard that the flavor becomes better if you drink it with fruits. Thus, please have this」

I present the prepared fruits.

Father puts it into his mouth, and drink the sake.

「Delicious. This is not bad once in a while because I usually drink strong sake」

「Right?」

I feel relieved because father is satisfied this time.

This time, I wonder whether this sake is suitable or not because Father likes to drink strong sake.

Apparently, I worried for nothing.

We continue to drink the sake for a while.

My mouth loosened unintentionally when I recalled the daytime.

「What's wrong?」

「No, I went to see Shun and Sue during daytime. I just recalled that time」

The younger brother and the younger sister who displayed a shocking talent even though I'm the Hero.

Although I trained with Shun, it's fairly difficult to pretend to be compose.

I shouldn't have thought that I should show off by fighting with one hand.

Let's use both hands on the next time I train him.

「Fumu. In Julius's point of view, how are those two?」

「They are both frightening talents. Especially, Shun. If he's born a little more early, the one who holds the Hero title might not be me but Shun」

Without a word of lie.

Actually, Shun and Sue is far higher than me in talents.
