Sitting in the shade, Loir sighed.
The kid didn't return, it seems like he knew that Loir won't let him go so easily.
Loir decided to go back to the village.
As he came inside the house, he heard a shout of Jace. And then saw Jace running out of the kitchen at extreme speed and ran out of the house, when passing by him, Loir saw the red ears and narrowed his eyes.
Then he saw Sugel coming out kitchen with a pale face and running to the bathroom...
Theon who came down after a bath and redressing was stunned by the scene and looked at Loir.
"What happened with them?"
Loir's eyes darkened when he thought of the scene in front of him and sighed.
"I don't know, I just came back."
And then moved upstairs. Theon was stunned. What happened to Sir Loir??
No...what's this weird smell??
He glanced at the kitchen and saw the smoke coming out, no way the fire won't be left open right?
He ran to the kitchen and saw the mess in the kitchen, the rabbit corpse was cold on the floor, the spatula was thrown aside and there was a fire on the stove with a stew boiling.
??
Just what happened here?
Loir sat on the bed for a moment and then he decided to try once again.
The result he saw...he cannot see them.
His eyes lowered.
'Don't have any more strength...'
His heart was no longer strong enough to have more bruises and this was the last time...last one.
Thinking so, Loir stood up and walked towards Sugel's room.
He knocked twice and the door opened.
"Uncle Sugel."
Sugel smiled wryly and let Loir come in.
"What's wrong, Child?"
Loir sat on the bed.
"Uncle Sugel, Uncle Cullen told me Uncle Grey."
Sugel was silent. Well, he knew Cullen couldn't keep anything in his stomach but this bastard let it know to the kids too??
"It's nothing."
Loir shook his head.
"No, Uncle Sugel, What I want to ask is did Uncle Grey send you a letter to let you go to the Town?"
Sugel pursed his lips and nodded.
"Yes. It's been 12 years since he contacted me."
Loir looked at Sugel's smile, that smile was as if his hope was about to return.
But he didn't know the hope he has will be shattered once again...
"Uncle Sugel...I plan to stay in the Town for 3 days, Can I meet Uncle Grey with you?"
Sugel looked at Loir and smiled.
"No problem. Grey likes kids, He always wanted a soft and beautiful baby boy, Meeting you will definitely make him happy!"
Loir nodded and glanced at the door.
"Uncle Sugel, I don't want to tease you but...Do you love Uncle Grey so much?"
Sugel sighed.
"Yes, So much...that I waited 12 years...just because he can be mentally prepared."
Hearing this, Loir stood up.
"Alright Uncle Sugel, I wish you the best of luck...but Uncle Sugel don't let anything hurt you too much."
Sugel was silent and shook his head, How can that be possible, 12 years...he gave 12 years of his life...
Loir came out of the room and saw a shadow out of the corner of his eyes and walked back to his room.
He just did these things casually, Not like before...
So he doesn't care what will happen now.
Loir saw the symbol shining and the inventory-type interface came out again.
The ten eggs seem to have multiplied and they became 20 eggs...???
So...after 10 days the eggs will multiply???
Just what type of reward is this thing...
Are they eggs only eggs?
Loir glanced at the eggs and decided to fry some of them sometime later, if they can be eaten then good.
Stocking eggs was not his hobby.
He walked to the bedroom and was about to get ready and take a small nap when he heard Theon's call for lunch.
"Sir Loir, Sir Sugel, Jace! Come down for lunch."
Loir had no choice but to bind his hair back in a pony tail and go downstairs.
The dishes were edible at least and Loir ate two bites his gaze looked at Jace who looked a bit lost.
The dining table which was always noisy due to Jace's constant chirping was silent and this type of Jace inevitably made Loir recall some scenes he didn't want to recall at all.
"Jace."
Jace who was out of the world came back from the sky and looked at Loir in a confused way.
"Huh?"
"You are dipping bread in water."
Jace immediately looked at his hand and was stunned...what is wrong with his hands??
Theon was surprised too, This guy was always attentive when he ate what happened today? Wait...Is it because his cooking is not satisfactory?
Thinking so, Theon looked at his own plate...it was edible. At least it can be eaten, right?
Loir rolled his eyes when he saw Theon's gaze, this guy's own Iq was 0 in these things.
Sugel suddenly stood up and smiled at Theon.
"Your cooking improved a lot, I am full, Let me go and make some tea."
Theon nodded.
"Alright, Thanks, Sir Sugel."
Jace looked at Sugel's back and hesitated and then looked away but saw Loir looking straight at him.
"Ah? What's wrong?"
Loir bites the potato shred while looking at Jace.
"I want to ask too, What's wrong?"
Jace shook his head.
"Food is wrong, No-I meant taste is not my type-No not type, it's a bit bland...?"
Theon had a black face, So I was right, this guy hated my cooking?! Must increase his training after going back!
-
In the evening, Loir went outside to the forest again, and sure enough, saw a small head in bushes not far away.
"Kid."
He grabbed the kid from the back collar and lifted him high.
The kid was startled and almost shouted but closed his mouth with his hands.
"Let me go, you bad person!"
"Don't you want revenge?"
The kid thought that this person wanted to take him back to the village but he didn't think that this person will ask him this.
"I want to, why? You want to help me?"
Loir smiled.
The smile was so beautiful that the kid was stunned for a whole minute. The smile was fleeting but made the kid stunned for so long that Loir thought the kid was malfunctioning.
"Yes, But you are too small, You need to be taught for a long time. Here take this and when the admission opens go and apply."
What Loir gave the kids was a cyan-colored card, on it was written 'Nexis Academy'
The kid was stunned.
"Why do I...huh?"
The kid was let go and he saw the person who held him before going towards the forest and grabbing the fluttering butterfly with one hand then he saw a beautiful golden flame appearing in the person's hand and burning the butterfly.
The butterfly vanished soon under the flames, and then as if something broke there was a crack in the scene in front of him.
The kid's eyes became wide, huh?? did reality break?
Then the crack enlargened and many butterflies rushed out and towards Loir but all were burned and the reality broke into many pieces and then the scene changed.
The Forest was the same and everything too but the village in the distance was different it look barren without vitality seen before, the trees withering, the roofs broken, the farms empty.
Screams came from the village and it awakened both the kid and Loir.
