Chereads / Chairman of The Magic Council / Chapter 9 - Problem?

Chapter 9 - Problem?

Ur and Bourne went to the next village since the Vulcan appeared in that village. That village was located a few kilometers away, even though they didn't need to use a train, but the journey was quite long since they didn't have a vehicle.

Bourne sighed at the people in this world since they didn't develop a car or motorcycle. He had heard that there was a development of it, but it wasn't complete which cause it would take him quite some time to walk toward the location of the quest. If there wasn't Ur beside him then he would come back to return the quest since the money of that quest was really not much. Though, he didn't complain since he could see that Ur seemed happy.

Ur was happy that Bourne didn't refuse to perform a quest since she also wanted to perform a quest together with him. She knew that he had a shop in town, but he didn't need to personally attend it since he owned an employee. With her name, unless someone wanted to become an ice cube, no one would dare to do something about it. Along the way, she talked about a lot of things which he needed to watch since it was his first quest and it was a B-Level quest at that. Even though she knew about his ability, he was only six years old after all. She had seen him hunt a magical beast, but it was weaker than Vulcan which was the quest about.

"You're with me, right?"

"Even so, I won't do anything. It is your quest after all."

"I know."

Both of them walked together and reached the village before dark. They went quickly to the head of the village to talk about the quest since Bourne wanted to have more detailed information. It was better to hear the information from the mouth of the victim so he could learn more about the quest since sometimes there was missing information which was received by the guild.

Most of the people in this world weren't smart and it was normal for a miscommunication to happen.

Bourne didn't want to be trapped or surrounded by the Vulcans. He wanted to know where that monster appeared, how many it was, how many villagers had been kidnapped by it, etc. When everything was done, he didn't quickly complete the quest, but asked for a house for him and Ur to stay in since it was already dark outside.

The head of the village seemed to think that Bourne was a negotiator or something, but at the same time, he had to admit that he was comfortable with them since Bourne was very polite and very professional.

Ur didn't even bother to talk since she had to admit that her pupil was very smart. She loved it since she didn't need to do the talk. She also learned most of the things which happened in this village after Bourne's interview session with the head village. She had to admit that she was very proud of her pupil.

The head village accompanied them to the house which was being prepared for them to stay for a night since they would perform the quest tomorrow.

Bourne didn't waste his time and decided to sleep right away, but he was stopped by Ur.

"What?"

"Is this your first time to do the quest? You're not secretly doing it when I'm gone, right?" Ur asked. She thought that Bourne had gone on a quest alone when she had gone on the quest before.

"Of course not, do you think with personality that I'll do a quest?" Bourne asked. He looked at her with a deadpan expression as if she didn't know his personality.

"Well not really..." Ur really couldn't think that Bourne was going to go to the quest alone considering how lazy he was. She could even tell that if she wasn't beside him then he would definitely return the quest back without hesitation. She nodded and laid beside him while looking at his face.

Bourne ignored it and closed his eyes. He was six years old and what kind of thing could he do in this body? And rather than thinking about something weird, it was better to sleep regained his stamina and power as soon as possible. Then tomorrow, he was going to do the quest with his full power.

"You're not nervous?"

Bourne opened his eyes and asked, "You're not sleepy?"

"No. I'm bored. Just say something before we sleep." Ur smiled looking at his troubling expression.

"How about you sleep so you won't be so bored?" Bourne had a helpless expression on his face.

"Say, if my daughter was still alive then you might try to court my daughter now." Ur had a smile on her face.

"....."

Bourne was silent and was about to ask whether she missed her daughter, but he decided to stop. He knew that Ur had lost her daughter in the past, and he was sorry about that. He had never mentioned Ur's daughter since he was afraid for her to feel sad. Pondering for a while, he was wondering what kind of answer he should give her.

"If that happens then you'll become grandma soon."

Bourne was sure that if Ur's daughter was alive then she would be a very beautiful girl. He didn't mind to reserve that girl and marry her when he had become an adult later. Though, he didn't expect this reaction.

"Ouch! Why did you hit me!"

Bourne held his head and felt this woman was very unreasonable.

"Hmph!"

Ur snorted and felt somehow annoyed.

"..."

Bourne was wondering whether there was something wrong with his words. He thought for a while and was wondering whether Ur was angry when he told her that he would become grandma. He rubbed his chin and asked, "Do you want another daughter?"

"Well..?"

Ur was surprised by this question and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Do you want to remarry someone?" Bourne asked. Even if he loved Ur, it didn't mean that he was going to stop her if she found someone she loved considering the age difference between the two of them. He was young, even though it might hurt him shortly, but he would be able to move on in the future. However, his answer was wrong once again since this woman suddenly turned away from him.

"Ur, what's wrong?"

"Just sleep!"

Bourne wanted to ask whether Ur was angry, but he knew that she wouldn't admit it if he asked that question. However, he knew that she was angry for some reason.

"Ur, I'm sorry if I've said something wrong, but I don't understand why you're angry."

Hearing his childish voice, Ur started to laugh inwardly and fell into self-deprecating. 'What am I angry about?' She was an adult and he was only six years old. Even though he might seem older than his peers, he was a child after all. She sighed and wondered whether she was sexually frustrated that she started to fall for-- she quickly denied it and replied, "Nothing. Just sleep, you're going to perform your first quest tomorrow."

"Well, if you say so..."

Bourne laid on his head and glanced at Ur who didn't turn her back at him. He was wondering whether his thought was right, but he was child after all which made this thing become complicated. Shaking his head, he closed his eyes before entering the land of dreams.
