2 Adulthood Celebration 1 (2/2)

Eddra, who was convinced the plate was hunting him, refused to make a move on his bed. What was going on? He was waiting for death as he took shade on a tree like 10 minutes ago. How did he make it back to... his family's house?

So now that his youngest sister left him alone, trotting her way out, he got the chance to monitor the room he was in, and Eddra noticed that the furniture was just as similar when he left for the army. No one even dared to move his things, like it was 3 years ago.

As he swarmed his way off his bed, he stood beside a window. Ignoring the translucent plate before his eyes, he noticed the servants arranging a table outside even though the cloud looked dark as if the rain would pour anytime. Did an idiot person order them to prepare a table there?

Chuckling to himself, Eddra remembered the time when it rained on the day of him turning to an adult. For some reason, that day, Eddra wished to celebrate it on their garden, however, in a minute before it started, heavy rain poured down, bathing all the members of the family.

”... Brings back the memories.”

As he was busy recollecting the days before he joined the army, Eddra heard a knock on the door. ”Milord, this is Gale.” Hearing the person behind the door declared his arrival, Eddra's face lightened immediately.

Gale was the butler of their family. He was the one who took care of him when he was young, and he snapped when he heard Eddra was joining the army. Gale was like a father to him, and Eddra was just devastated as his mother delivered a letter to him while he was in the army, telling him that Gale sent his resignation 2 years after he left the house.

Maybe he was too old, Eddra thought. This was why he was so delighted to see the man he treated like his father. ”Gale! You're back!”

”... Yes, I am?” With full confusion painted on his face, Gale simply closed the door behind him. ”Milord, we need you to prepare immediately. The family is waiting downstairs at the entrance door.”

”Okay. So, what is the table outside all about?”

”... Milord, it is you who ordered us to prepare a table outside.”

”But the rain will pour any minute now⁠—” the sudden realization swiftly made its way to his mind⁠— ”You're joking, right?”

”Am I joking? No, I'm afraid not, Milord.”

”Don't tell me today is the day I'll turn to adulthood?”

”... Yes, Lord Eddra.”

Ding!
