Chapter 94 (2/2)
We entered the city and ran around without paying attention to the people.
As the temperature is quite high, there are many people wearing light clothing.
Women mostly wear small pieces of fabric that could be confused for underwear.
Elves also wear very revealing outfits, but the ones here far surpass even theirs.
”Master, how about we go to that restaurant?”
”Seems like a nice place, let's go to that restaurant.”
We entered a restaurant with terrace seating.
I ordered a couple of drinks to quench my thirst.
”Fueeh, drinking sake during the day is delicious.”
”Didn't you say the same thing a while back?”
”You must be imagining things. I remember drinking a bubbly beverage.”
I think the drink was called ale.
”Aren't you tired, my Lord?”
”Not at all. Even though half of my magic has been absorbed, I'm still in good shape.”
Incidentally, I had poured magic power into the circle Kaede had passed through when she came here.
If that magic circle is activated, the other magic circle should be able to work....
Of course, as long as the other circle that is in Kaede's hometown is still functioning and in good condition, that is.
”Waaaah! The food here looks so delicious!”
”Kyui!”
The staff brought our dishes to the table.
Lined up in a row, there is a feast of food featuring fish and other kinds of seafood.
The shrimp with sauce on spaghetti looks delicious.
I wrapped a fork around it and chewed the spaghetti.
The sweet and sour taste of tomatoes assailed my tongue.
This is amazing, it may be the first time I've ever been this excited about a dish.
”Master, do you know where your father's family lives?”
”No, I forgot. I came here when I was about six years old. I doubt they remember me in the first place.”
”Since you're here, why don't you go see him?”
”Hmmm, I guess you're right, I haven't told my uncle that my father and mother died... I guess it's time he knew.”
It's been so long since I've interacted with my uncle, so he must not know about my father's death.
I mean, I even forgot about it until now.
I think it's understandable considering I'm twenty-five years old.
It is time to face my family properly.
And this would be a good opportunity to meet my remaining family members.
I don't know anything about my mother or father.
They never talked about their past.
This trip should not only serve to heal my broken heart, but also to learn more about myself.
By knowing my parents' past, I could know more about myself.
”What a beautiful carriage. I wonder if it belongs to a nobleman.”
A carriage decorated with shining gold passes by us.
It is pulled by a white horse.
Suddenly, the carriage stopped in front of us.
From the carriage stepped down a middle-aged man with blond hair down to his back.
He is probably in his fifties.
His face has deep wrinkles and a thin beard.
”Hey, you.”
For some reason, he pointed to me.
”What is your name?”
”...Toru Eiban.”
”Finally!”
The man comes up to me and hugs me.
My head is filled with question marks.
What's wrong with this old man?
Suddenly, I noticed he looked familiar.
”It's been so many years, I'm sure you don't recognize my face.”
”Who are you?”
”Keios Eiban.”
He said he was my uncle.
