Chapter 29 (1/2)
In the evening, before dinner, a servant (a different person from Marcella-san from before) informed us of a visitor
Alfred-tousan said “Ooh, he arrived” and went to personally welcome him
Julia-kaasan and I are sitting at the table waiting for dad
The servants in charge of the kitchen (that also includes Marcella-san) are arranging the food on the dinner table
The meal is for 4 people
Those four should be dad, uest
By the way, next to me there is a small cup filled with juice for Melby
Using that to drink the juice, Melby looks veryfairy
Next to that I’ for the preparations for the meal to be done
“――Everyone present?”
Dad appeared in the dining roo that
He brought aperson with him
The abundant white hair and drooping eye-corners give off an ineffable kind impression
Dad says to that person,
“However, this was fortunate I didn’t think that you were stopping by this city at just the right time There, please have a seat Sadly we can’t offer that much”
“Mm, thanks for your concern My body has becos are hard on me sometimes”
“You are not young anymore, please take care of your body Can’t you just stop patrolling and settle somewhere as a priest?”
“I can’t really do that Lately, there are more temples, but there aren’t many people that have the [Oracle] Skill”
“Right, there are many requests, but there are only a few priests who can fulfill the”
Dad is offering the seat on the opposite side from his to the priest(?)
Then,
“Father Solow This is ar And you already knoife, Julia”
“Ooh, this is a really lovely child”
“My naar”
I don’t really knohat’s going on, but I introduce
“It’s been a long time, Father”
Mo a seat at the dinner table
“――Ed, this is a patrolling priest for the Samsara Temple, Solow Atra-Abaddon-sama”
“Abaddon!?”
I raised my voice unintentionally
Then I showed the 『Abaddon Magic Compilation』 I left on the seat next to me to him
“――Hou That’s nostalgic That is a book written by randmother”
“Great-grandmother…”
That randson of Abaddon
Or rather,
“Abaddon, was a woman?”
“Mht But it looks like people are under the impression that she was a man nobody could match her in scholarly sciences, but she was also proud and passionate Because of friction with her surroundings she apparently spent her last years deep in the mountains to keep people away”
…that’s somehow very understandable
I always thought it ritten by a grumpy old man
“Nevertheless, quite an astute child To think that he is reading that fae Even I was already over 40 years old when I could truly understand the value of that book Is it the result of uidance?”
“No, I didn’t do anything Edgar-kun is a smart child”
“Hohhohho It looks like the 《Flame Prison Witch》 also has the virtue of modesty”
Fro sarcastically
Well, it’s very well impossible for a child to read a difficult book soon after being born and without the guidance of his parents
“――Also, there is a lovely Fairy-san with him, I see”
As the priest said that I turn aze tohere Melby is
“You can see her?”
I asked
“Muely tell that she is there”
Hearing those words frolances, then
“Good evening, Father Solow I’ together with Edgar”
“Hou… with Edgar-kun To be liked by a Fairy at this age”
“I-It’s not about liking hi that’s necessary…”
Melby is h the straw
“Then, Alfred-dono You said there was so…?”
Dad nods to the Priest’s words
“To tell you the truth, ould like you to perform Transference on him”
Transference…?
Leaving the frowning me aside, the two adults continue their conversation
“Hou But, isn’t it a bit early? He looks like quite an astute child, but he shouldn’t be at the age where he could gain skills yet?”
“Well, that isn’t the case …I would like you to keep everything I tell you from now on a secret if possible”
“But of course I will keep the secrets regarding Skills even if I have to die If that’s what I have to do as a Priest of the Samsara Temple”
After confir the nod from the priest, dad says
“This child is only about 8-month-old”
“8for that?”
The priest was surprised
“Is Father familiar with the recent incident at the Ranzrack Fortress?”
“Mm, of course It was unfortunate for Alfred-dono, but it was unexpected good fortune for the Kingdom of Santaether with your wife, played an important role”
