Vol 8 Chapter 119 (1/2)

-Chapter 1-

-Meeting the Ancestors in the Jewel Arc-

Staying in an inn of a lodging town, I abided the voices strea into my head, and left the room

I looked around and found a chair in the hall

So I sat there and decided to waste some time

(So terribly tired lately)

I lost to my sister Celes, and was driven out ofsaved by my former fiancé Novem

(I’m really sleepy…)

So sitting in the creaking misshapen wooden chair, I closed my eyes

『Wake up, ‘ya bastard!』

“Eh, hat?”

I heard an angry voice, so I opened my eyes, and looked around

In front of e circular table, with a round blue stone eave off a similar feel, and there, various men and women sat side by side

Only my seat was alone, without another stationed beside

Across fro his head, aat me

『Just look at those dead fish eyes on your face! And now, that frail physique and mopesome temperament… and you call yourself apoint is the wildness of… OOF!』

The un to yell was shut up by the fist of a woman in her later twenties

Those around looked at the beaten man with indescribable emotion

Holding his head, he turned to the woman

『U-uive my poor descendant sory or anything… I’m not, so…』

With her curling hair done up in a ponytail, the woman lifted theblow to the body

(… Eh? What’s all this?)

There, the wo adjacent to me stood, and embraced me

『You’ve grown so big… Lyle, do you remember me?』

Taking in the worande was somewhere in her later twenties

Andpassed

“Yes, but… that’s…”

When I fidgeted around, the ponytailed wohed

『Hahaha, you’re quite a cute one I never thought my descendent would turn out to be such a cool ed to pop out a boy like you』

My grandlared at the other woman

『… Hey wait a itimately carries the blood of royalty You say it as if you’re so high and ht couple have to say for themselves?』

A vein popped up on the ponytailed woman’s forehead as she refuted

『Ah? How cheeky for one so younger than me In the first place, if I wasn’t here, then none of those here would have ever gathered You understand that, right? Look, you say so too』

The ponytailed woman turned the conversation to the couple-like people to her side Looking closely, it looks like all the pairs were spouses

A man in hunter attire…

『No, um… mom, how about we calm down a little See, our descendent Lyle over there looks quite troubled』

But his woman was different

『I’ve been wanting to say this for quite some time, but…』

Touching her straight and long emerald hair, the woman beside the hunter spoke

『… Dear ly seasoned』

… Um, what’s this all about?

On top of being completely irrelevant to the topic at hand, the emerald-haired woman looked quite relieved after the words had left her mouth

The hunter man tried to follow up

『Oy, that’s a bit off No one was asking about that, right!?』

『So what!? I never got to say it up to the end, so letit was the taste of the Walt House, and never calling her out on how terrible it was is your fault, you know!』

The ponytailed wolared at the hunter, and the woman to his side

『Hht? How sad Now Crassel how about you tell that woman who passes water for soup the truth?』

It appears that the ponytailed woman was the hunter’s mother Appearance-wise, the hunter-dressed ht

My grand to me offered an explanation

『It must have been hard for you, Lyle But don’t worry Everyone here is an ancestor of the Walt House… I doubt they’ll be much use, honestly, but they have Skills, so I’m sure you’ll find a use for them』

A younger forrandmother

『O-oy! You shouldn’t be telling his like that! Of the members of history, there are plenty who’ve excelled in military service Come to think of it…』

The one to assert their opinion tobeside a man who looked quite unconcerned with the situation

Standing up besides the man of smaller build, she looked towards us

『You call yourself royalty, but you’re the cause of all this, aren’t you? Are you listening, Lyle-kun? The Jewel that woht with her when she married in is the cause of all of this』

The unconcerned ht nod

『… Right And wait, what’s this about royalty?』

Unable to understand anything, I looked around

(Um, you’ve lost me)

An aloof man came in-between the ponytailed woman and the emerald haired one

『Grandht? A request from me』

Hearing that, the two of them reluctantly stood down The man’s wife…

『You always just play everything off like that… you really have a knack for it Even when Max went through so -willed shorty as your bride, and Fredricks went astray…』

A lasses broke into a cold sweat as he looked around nervously A woman of small build slammed both her hands on the table, and stood

『Oh shut it! I did hter of a viscount! What’s all this!? What do you mean my Fredricks went astray!?』

The unconcerned eted

『M- you, please stop Oy, dad!』

He see man…
