Chapter 136: Names (1/2)

Yep, they all looked at me with some fear, I guess they don't want to use magic?

Why? It is the power that everyone has!

”Why that look?” I asked.

”I don't know, perhaps they don't want to practice and slack off,” said the grandma.

”Well, kids you're all going to work hard. I don't want you to stay weak forever. Especially because the outside world is harsh. Very harsh… So, I want you to live as much as you can for your family members that could not accompany you today.

”No, you're also helping,” I said.

”Eh?!”

”Yeah, grandma, you're also helping!” said Benladann with a gentle smile.

”Ahh… I-I am going to make cheese…” she said.

”Haha, no, you're also coming with us for now,” I said.

”Uegh…”
