02 part2 – The sage has reincarnated (1/2)

Once the 15 year old leaves, the retainers rush in and voice their concerns.

「Will-sama, are you alright? Let’s treat your wounds.」

「No, I’m not injured so its fine」

「Impossible, that doesn’t make any sense…」

The retainers started examining my body, and were surprised to find there weren’t any injuries.

「Even though you were beaten to that extent… just what happened?」

「Hmm… I was taught martial arts by my father so…」

「Oh, I see, as expected of the child of Krujia-sama and Maria-sama」

Krujia is my father and Maria is my mother.

「Krujia-sama was remarkable in both martial arts and magic」

「Maria-sama was also excellent in martial arts」

Saying so, the retainers nod to themselves silently while reminiscing. It seems they were somehow convinced by that explanation.

The retainers must have had that much faith in my parents’ martial arts.

Meanwhile, the other retainers were cleaning up the dirty water knocked down by the fifteen year old.

「Ah, I’ll take care of it, everyone still have their own tasks to do, right?」

When I picked up the rag to try and clean the spilled water,

「Please leave this to us. The scions have already left somewhere」

The retainers smiled kindly.

The retainers of Wolms family are all warriors who are proficient in battle magic.

Those proud warriors knelt on the floor and wipe the dirty water with tattered rags for someone else’s sake.I feel sorry.

[ 1.TL Note: “scion” is “son of a distinguished/wealthy family”. ]

「Please, let me do it」

「It’s fine. Will-sama, rest over there for a while」

「No, but…」

「It’s not healthy for a child to overwork, please rest up」

While saying so, one of the retainers forcibly pulls me towards the break room.

In the break room, my 3 year old adorable sister, Saria, her pet dog, RunRun, and a few retainers were there.

「Anicha!」

Saria gleefully climbs on RunRun and approaches me.

RunRun was also wagging its tail.

「Saria, were you a good girl?」

「Yes, I was」

Apparently Saria was playing together with the retainers and RunRun.

I hold up Saria from RunRun’s back. Saria squeezes her chestnut hair against my chest.

I’m probably spoiling her too much; I gently stroke Saria’s soft hair.

「RunRun is always a good boy, right?」

「Woof」

RunRun wags its tail joyfully.

RunRun is a very large dog with silver fur. Its height is about as tall as me.

It’s eight years old too. On the day I was born, it was a puppy that had lost its way into the courtyard of the mansion.

By the way, it is still growing larger. It is a mysterious dog and I also feed it on my own.

It is also good at hunting and shares birds and other small animals that it hunts, with us.

The scions tried to throw it away many times but gave up when it kept returning somehow.

Recently, I had asked RunRun to guard Saria during daytime.

Thanks to that, the scions could not bully Saria.

After petting RunRun, I bow my head to the retainers.
