Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer-Chapter 329 Her Words...
[[ "What... do you mean?" ]]
This was something quite unexpected and the way she talked out of the blue was the first time. She mostly stayed silent when I was talking with someone like this.
The way she talked so suddenly was surprising and even more, was the thing that she said.
Something from her creator... something from my master?
This was something unexpected and shocking and even though it was believable, I didn't think there would actually be something like this from her.
"Eon?" Rein called out, squeezing our joint hand with a sudden confused look.
We were in the middle of talking about something but then I suddenly stopped so this would naturally be surpassing for her.
But this thing Lucy was talking about was more important than her shock so, I needed some time alone to listen to what she had to say.
Looking at her with a suddenly serious look, I said with my eyes, 'Rein, please give me a moment.'
This confused her even more but this look was sudden and genuine so she just nodded… with a concerned look.
She was worried now, but, I gripped her hand and she understood it was alright and I was telling her not to worry so, she nodded once again, this time with a calm smile.
She was still worried but this was alright for now.
Looking down with a serious and hopeful heart, I closed my eyes.
[[ "You really mean you have something from grandma?" ]]
[[ *Yes master. I didn't know before but just now, I realized something.
Creator left many messages in me that are to be revealed only when certain 'unknown' conditions are met.
One of them just met the conditions which were simply your birthday so I think there could be something like this for every birthday.
So, I have this mental image with a recorded mental voice.
Should I play it now?* ]]
[[ "Yes... please." ]] 𝙛𝘳𝘦e𝓌e𝗯n𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝚘𝑚
I didn't know what this would be but, at the very least, I was happy this was something from her.
My eyes were closed and there was now a bright light in my mind. This was just like watching a movie with closed eyes but even more realistic than virtual reality.
Her image, the one I could never forget even after forgetting everything else, appeared before me as if she was in front of me... which I knew she definitely was not.
After spending so much time with her, it was too easy to differentiate between the real her that I felt from Lucy and this mental image that I was seeing right now.
But still, this was something amazing.
I thought I would never be able to see her again, but, I was wrong.
At least, I could now see her like this.
And she was smiling right now. With that same divine smile, I had seen countless times.
I wanted to cry right now, but, the happy smile on my face was more overwhelming than the urge to cry.
She was smiling at me, almost as if she could see me, this 'image' could see me.
[[ *Happy birthday, Eon~.
I know by the time you see something like this, I would be gone and you might have also overcome that fact.
I already know you will do well, and also that you know I'm always with you.
This might be the first time you see me like this, and this one can't be much longer so... this is it.
Don't worry though.
You just turned twelve, and there are many years ahead of you.
I don't know if you have already met her but, she's the one, and you will just know that from the first day, take good care of her.
I believe you already gave my beloved child a name, so, thanks for that.
A name of my own is something I never had myself so, I would feel genuinely happy if she has one now.
So, take good care~. I know you will do fine~. ƒ𝐫𝒆𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝗻૦𝘷e𝙡.c𝑜𝙢
Ba-bye~. Until... next time.* ]]
In the end, there was a sad and helpless expression on her face, and... just like how she appeared with this white light, the white light clouded my eyes and I returned back to this state of closed eyes, seeing this usual color.
It was short, and I knew she would have known about Rein from the start.
As she said, I already found the one for me. And I know I will have to take good care of this little, childish, older than many, strong, smart, hot, cute, and adorable girl.
She didn't say much, and I could understand what the reason for that might be.
But one thing was true... this one wasn't the last time I would be seeing her.
And... these were also some of the greatest gifts I could have ever received.
My birthday has already been this amazing... and I still have a party at home.
It was an unexpected one but still, I am happy... very happy to hear her voice, her genuine voice, once again.
"Haaa... anyway, what were we talking about?"
This was something good, I was happy, so... instead of worrying and falling into the past memories, I returned to the conversation I was having with my dear Rein.
And this sudden change definitely surprised her but, well, she knew me. Changing from a face filled with tension and despair to a cheerful, genuinely happy, and bright one was no big deal for me.
And though this worried her, she knew I won't tell her anything about this one.
She knew I was happy, she could feel it, and that was enough for this understanding one.
Smiling with a sigh and shaking her head, she patted my head with her gentle hands.
"We were talking about how you will kiss me."
"...no? I definitely know we were talking about the integral formula of three elemental harmonic magic circuits."
My eyes were wide, and what she said definitely made me think about what she said.
And I definitely have thought about it... countless times but, she definitely saw the look in my eyes after she said that.
And even after I brought up the main topic, which was a pretty interesting thing too, the one on hand that involved the red word 'kiss' was far more interesting to this girl.
'How I would kiss her... I already had some, ahem, hundred scenarios in mind for that, ahem, not that anything was stopping the new ones to pop up in my mind every day.'
"Hmm? What? What was that? hundreds, every day, and coughing in thoughts? Hmm~, I see my darling is also quite something~."
She bit her lips in a genuinely seductive way, which definitely was something I know of, and the moment was also perfect for this.
Not that 'kissing' more than the back of her hand was happening anytime soon.
...hopefully.
She is an alluring witch in the end, with special skills and an even more special way with the words backed up by her endless wild desires.
Well, thankfully, it's my birthday so I don't think she will do anything so, it was alright.
I can handle her flirting. I have survived hell, her sweet abyss should also be manageable.
"Do you want some-"
"Don't change the topic darling~. I'm not falling for it this time~."
"Some sweet, hot, fine-"
"N-no! Don't trick me with that calm smile, you bastard! I know you will say tea at the end!"
"Don't you want my special, hot, warm, fine, sweet, delicious, wet, passionate-"
"Noooo you bastard! Stop that and just take out the teapot! Don't play around like this!"
"I wasn't the one that started you know. Anyway, here. My special warm, sweet, strong, fine~ coffee.
See, it's not tea~!"
"Yes, it's not but! It's not much different either!!"
I chuckled at her angry expression which was far better than a flirtatious one and this one was more favorable to me than her leading me to think weird things.
She was cute when angry and that was a fact. Her flirting gaze was fine too but, her anger and shyness were expressions I liked far better than this.
