Chereads / M no Monogatari / Chapter 67 - Chapter 64: Lazy?

Chapter 67 - Chapter 64: Lazy?

It seems that I have one more gift from the one who makes me more uneasy with every visit she makes to us, with the passing of the days I have realized something very obvious, there is always someone who is not at all invited to a home, in this case I can say that it is Mr. Smith, every time she comes the other species know that something is going to do, something is going to happen or even already happened or is going to ask us for something. Although also most of the time she only comes to hang out, of course, if telling us about her work and everything she is involved in can be called relaxing, seriously, what she gets to tell us many times I feel it is too confidential, I don't know what kind of organization she is involved in, I only understand that it is one of the highest and pending in most situations in the world, something like a public organization that is very expert and level of what they do? I don't understand, I don't think I will ever see such an organization or its top brass in person, the only thing I am told is that I will see how groups and people, as well as Mr.Smith, simply act under the orders of such secret and invisible people.

『An organization? that sounds very familiar』.

『¿?』

『It's nothing Ya-kun, I'm just interested in the topic 』

Sometimes with all the problems that she and her group of Species have to cover alone, it makes me think that maybe it is a very peaceful world for the most part, but the things they get involved in are very dangerous and makes me think that at any time of the day, something can happen that normal people like us are not ready for, now it makes more sense that such groups exist to calm and restore peace to such places, although coming from a world where the Species exist, it makes more sense that such groups exist to calm and restore peace to such places, although coming from a world where the Species exist, just as we know that there are humans who are crazy and have a screw loose, if being normal people with nothing special as humans are stereotypically categorized in this world, they are already capable of doing many more things, I can't imagine a Species, there are lots of species living in this world, surely there are also those who are crazy or sick in the head, and for sure they are capable of doing many more terrifying things thanks to their unique abilities than a simple human. In that case that makes them much more dangerous on a more terrifying level... To a human with power or a species with power, I feel that likewise the human would be more dangerous in the face of an unknown power or ability to who is already used to it.

『(I hope I never get to get involved with people or Species with that thinking, I really think I would completely dislike them)』.

『I agree with you Ya-kun, those who don't appreciate the life of others and superimpose their thinking of their own than that of others, really should disappear』-『People who kill as a simple thing in their day to day life, I'm going to ------ 』

『(Killing? Rino? I think you're going a little bit too far 』

『!!!! Sorry, I meant to say correct them *grin* 』 

『(But I think the same thing Rino, I think killing is a last resort to which one should resort) 』 

To this I was confused by the conversation I had with Rino, he hadn't pointed out about killing others, just that there are all kinds of sick people in the world, and well...I guess it's very related to what Rino said, but I still found this strange, I know it's just a figment of my imagination, but so many things I know about Rino? Even the way he reacted to that topic, I think that's how he would react, I'm sure I've already seen him react like that in some other moment that I don't remember. But well, I'd better leave all this aside, since Smith doesn't stop looking at me since I entered the house, it really makes me uncomfortable how he stares at me and ....

『Did you just talk to yourself? Who were you talking to? You were silent for quite a while and your expressions were twisting and turning』.

To this I was confused, in situations where I am having a conversation with Rino, as an insurance measure I avoid acting that way on people I feel I shouldn't show them, Smith a been attentive to me and I could see how despite his words I was still quiet, the topic in my mind and my conversation with Rino became more interesting to me, but that very thing was what detailed me, he get to see my gestures and movements, plus that....

『I understand that you like to talk to yourself, yes you say and do very interesting things, don't you want to play little fights with me too M-chan? *smiles*』

!!!!...How did she find out about that too, I looked at her scared of how she could have found out, most likely it was during the stay while I was being watched, or am I still being watched? I looked from one side to the other scared trying to find out if there was still someone who could be behind my actions, but at my surprised reaction like that of a child, Smith was thankful and laughed.

『Be calm, I promise you that no one is watching you anymore, nor Kurusu and the Species, everything is fine M-chan *smiles*』

I looked at her first distrusting her, but I'll take her word for it...I must believe in her...yes...ahh...why does this broad make you trust and distrust her at the same time!!!! Seeing Smith that M was getting confused and above all nervous, he decided to go for what he came for in the first place. At this she asked M to extend her hand, where she did and I could feel Smith with her 2 hands covering all of mine, at that moment I could feel it, her hand was scratchy and harder than normal, but I could also feel a warm grip from her, she must be used to holding things tightly, I can feel it but, this time she was doing it very gently.

『Sorry for the delay, I had to take care of the formalities, papers and even enter the country's database in the conscience of others hahahaha』

『(Eh? That's not illegal?』

『But all the effort was worth it, so here you go M-chan, your ID as a legal citizen of the country of Japan *smiles*』.

At this Smith was smiling, and he moved to open his hands where I could see mine, in it was an ID of mine. This was a moment I don't know how to say it, I just kept quiet while looking at my ID, really? This is mine? That I have it in physical form was another reaction, the words that Smith told me that day, he was able to give me a little demonstration with this credential.

『You can't walk through life without your documentation of who you are, now with this ID you are officially recognized as another citizen of the country, and let's even say that while I was preparing your ID, I took the liberty to add a few more little things, it's not much for now, but when you are of age, I'll just tell you that *smile* You will be able to travel anywhere in the world with ease, consider it another little gift *happy*』.

To this Smith was explaining it to me in the simplest way, I was really happy with the gift he just gave me, to this of course I was not alone, I was the only one in front, and for this occasion the ones who were accompanying me at this moment, were Aniki and Mia. I had still remained silent, no words were coming out of me, only that I happened to look at my ID, both my photo and the...photo?

『Where did you get this picture? It's one of the typical ones that are on the credentials, at no time I remember that they have taken a picture of me with a white background with that expression...』

It was the first detail I found and of course it was going to get my attention, I looked at Smith so that she could explain this to me, where she just happened to tell me that....

『You don't remember? How can you not remember? It was that day! Yes! On that day when I came to visit and we had a good time! And you even told me about your little secret! 』

『Huh? What are you saying, what secret did I tell you? I don't remember anything about it 』 

『How can you not remember, you know, ah! You don't mind me telling your secret then do you? *smiles*』

What is Smith talking about? clearly I know he's lying, at no point do I remember having a good time with her, did we have an intimate conversation? Did I tell her about something secret? I don't think so, I was pretty sure that no such thing Smith was saying ever happened, this broad is a liar, but to see her smiling with confidence...!!!!

『Okay, you can tell if you want to (now what are you going to come out with, liar)』

I was waiting for what thing Smith was going to say, I can easily deny it at any time even if it's true, but I highly doubt it. I stood with my arms crossed as Smith went on to sharpen his smile which lasted for a second, where he cheerfully went on to tell that.

『It was a very embarrassing moment, I still remember how you told me, you like someone don't you M-chan? 』

!!!!! To this I was surprised by what he said, really my expression gave me away, where to this I didn't let it upset me, I still think he's making it up! Liking someone is no secret, we all got to like someone at some point in our lives!!!!! Smith paused as if waiting for me to say go on, where I asked him just that.

『Let me remember a little more! Yeah...you said you like someone almost your size right? I mean someone petite 』

『!!! I'm not petite!!!! But I am....!!!!!!!! *red*』

At this I was alarmed at how the word just came out, I suddenly fell silent at that moment as my emotions got the better of me, I was red and happened to look at Smith frustrated since.

『She's someone who you claim to know very well and you want to get along better with her, she also has short hair, let's say about this height 』.

He moved to put his hand at a similar height to mine, this made me much more nervous and worried, wait!!!....At this I got scared because what he just said was right...he's referring to Papi right? But the only one who knows about it is Mero, I don't think she would have told him just like that, it's very unlikely! But...I was very red and I couldn't help staying still, while Smith was looking at me as if he was having fun, as if he wanted to put his target between a rock and a hard place.

『And who is also expressive and doesn't hesitate to help who she really appreciates, she is somewhat uncoordinated and unreasonable in many situations, but at the moment of truth she is capable of leaving her life for that person, tell me M-chan, you mean who I'm referring to? 』

To this Smith asked the question directly to me, which I didn't know anymore if everything he said is a lie, I want to believe that yes but...all the things he just said, are from someone who I really know and I think...it was from who I really felt something very special for that person...I was quietly repressing my words, very red and nervous, where to this Mia happened to see how frustrated I was, that I would ask Smith to stop this, but Smith only answered.

『If you don't say it, I will say it, who I am talking about and you told me that day, it is ------』

『Kuru!!!!!----------*close your mouth*』

To this my reaction and word was very sincere at that moment, that I couldn't even finish saying it, I quickly realized this that I closed my mouth at that moment out of surprise, where Smith to this was shocked, but I more than anything...after cutting the words, I said it quietly.

『Kurumi』

What is this...why did I say that name...ever since I came to this world, the person who caught my attention the most and I know I have a special affection for, is Daddy, but for some strange reason the more Smith spoke, the image at the last moment became completely distorted.

『Right! Kurumi! Little Kurumi-chan! Right?! Well, who is she?』

『You weren't supposed to know?』(ー△ー;)

To this I really got her attention, I could notice how she had also been surprised and wanted to know more about this, she wanted to ask me a bomb of questions, but at that moment I used the technique that never fails but is too obvious, change the subject directly!!!!

『And who are -------』

『Kurusu...Kurusu M?』

I began to read my last name and my first name that I have on my ID, and I found this curious, since I have the last name of Kurusu, of Kimihito (first name) Kurusu (last name), I went to look at him confused by this, why do I have his last name? Although I think that if I want to have a normal life, I should have a last name, Kurusu at this just happened to look at me and say.

『Ah, that detail, you see, Smith at the time of making your identification, it was necessary for you to have a surname, leaving you with just the first name would be wrong plus I feel it would be very sad, at first Smith thought of placing you his surname, but then everything changed plans when he consulted me, I decided and proposed him to give you my surname, is it okay with you M-san? 』

『You gave me your last name? 』

At this Kurusu was smiling and accentuated with his face, this act really made me feel happy, I was red in the cheeks and happened to look at my name as I would be known now, with that I am Kurusu M at this moment...You don't know it but...this really is very appreciated for people like us, we value it much more than other regions, but quickly to this a doubt entered me.

『Did I get your last name? You gave me your last name? So since I'm a boy...then that makes me your son?』

To this both Smith and Mia became alert at the time, of course...if he offered to give me his last name, then it's like he had taken me in and adopted me somehow! I was very happy about this, I had already seen him as a Big Brother, because of that very thing about Aniki, but I won't deny it, I feel that as he is now, he could be an excellent father if he were to form a family, at that Mia happened to approach and ask me to look at my ID, of course I gave it to Mia, where she tried to keep nerves for this, she happened to look back and forth at the ID, both the date of my supposed birth, my ID number and so on, but it seems that what she is looking for is not there....

『Uhmmm...*annoyed* It doesn't say who your parents are 』

『Don't worry about that detail Mia-chan, if you look for the father he's sitting on the couch, and if you happen to look in front, you can see little M-chan's mother *smiles*』

Mia passed to look in front of her where she found Smith who was as always dressed in her impeccable suit, while looking smiling with her dark glasses, to this Mia had remained silent because if what she says is true, then....

『Pffffffffffffffff Smith, is it? ? You wish that were real, it's just another one of your tricks and gimmicks to provoke people, but everyone here in this household knows who Little M』-『's mother is! Mia!!! *proudly* 』

To this Mia declared in the whole house as she is M's official and legal mother, her proud face and that expression, I'm getting so used to seeing it already. To this Smith was quiet, where Mia went on to tell Kurusu that if it is true that she is the mother of little M, where Kurusu to this as she would only answer with everything she knows.

『Well.... if e noticed a lot that you care about M-san, as you are very present for him and in any situation in which this, you also want to support him to improve a lot, at the time of planning the gift, if that you took great pains to please him, you strive much more of your day to day before he comes to the house, I am sure that with the passing of time that love you put in M-san will not disappear, I am also very happy that you take it that way to help someone who was first in need and who should receive help, I am sure when you have your own son or daughter, you will be an excellent mother *smiles*』.

Kurusu said it in a sincere way according to his thinking and everything he knows about Mia on that topic, he said it so calm and serene that it was all true and real. At the words that Kurusu said, this was too much for Mia who quickly became very red that her head was boiling smoke, it really made her very happy that all that Kurusu thought of her, so she would go on to answer in a shy and low voice that....

『You will also make an excellent father Kurusu....*red*』

After that moment, I move on to look at Smith and point out to her full face that she is Little M's mother, that she says it with such confidence and energy, of course it also made me very happy.

『There you have it Smith! I am now Little M's mother! I will always watch over him and treat him as my own flesh and blood son! I will care for him, love him and cherish him like all the family in this home!!!!! *decided*』

Mia if she was much more direct and energetic with this, seeing her say out loud all that, again I repeat, made me feel very happy to be under Mia's care. To this Smith was smiling where he was passing by raising his hands and laughing that he lost this encounter.

『What a pity, I lost again, I was going to become Mrs.Kurusu legally』. 

『You were going to take advantage by having access to change important data *annoyed*』. 

『But I didn't, too bad! I was defeated by the power of love! But still I'm not closed as well as all of you to join your little group *smiles* 』 

『Groupie? (what do you say Smith...)』

At this Smith had nothing more to do here, so she was leaving without further ado in order to continue her work, but in that before she can leave, she wondered to herself in her mind that she forgot to have a cup of coffee, but since she already has work to do she can't stay a little while longer, moreover, this was a little getaway she made in order to give M. the credential.

『Well, then, we'll meet again *smiles*』

『Wait a minute Smith-san! Here you go, your coffee for you to drink either on the way or in your moment of rest』.

At this Kurusu had appeared somewhat quickly before Smith leaves, with all this about M's ID badge, he forgot an important detail, which even if Smith hadn't asked him at the beginning, there are times when he forgets but he keeps it in mind. Kurusu happened to prepare a coffee quickly in the kitchen, and managed to make it arrive on time in a disposable cup.

『I'm sorry I forgot, but here's your coffee 』

『Oh! Ah! You shouldn't have, Kurusu-chan, I didn't ask for it when I first arrived 』

『Yes, but even if you didn't ask me because you forgot or you have more important things to attend to and I understand, I know you always come and take the opportunity to have coffee at my house, sorry for forgetting, I did it quickly so I don't think it's as you like it----』

『Thank you Kurusu-chan *smiles* You made my day 』

At this Smith was with coffee in hand and was saying a friendly goodbye to Kurusu, in the middle of what he was leaving home as in the first place he wasn't going to tell the truth of this or wasn't going to say that little detail, but now that he is happy for the rest of the day, well....

『By the way, Kurusu M, the surname doesn't come because Kurusu has become your father, Kurusu comes because you are now his younger brother』.

『Right, at the time of offering my surname to M while talking to Smith, I also consulted my parents and told them the situation, and they gladly agreed that in legal terms, M-san is as his son and I am therefore his Big Brother 』.

『Your parents Aniki? Or well, my parents 』 

『My father-in-law and mother-in-law? 』

『And I'd better stay like this so there won't be any problems, good thing there was only you Mia-chan, if there had been all of them in this conversation, I think everything would have gotten out of control』.

To this Smith now withdrew while drinking the coffee that Aniki made for him, where his face said it all, of course he liked it very much if it would come from the hands and gesture of Kurusu. To this Mia despite being clarified that the father and mother of M are just the same as Kurusu, because this if, on paper and in the system are listed as Brothers, although we can also say that they also think so, Aniki grabbed a fondness to M for being a normal little boy to take care of, while M is very pleased to have an older brother who always looks after everyone equally, we were going to enter the house, but in that Mia although this was clear, did not leave behind what he said earlier.

『That doesn't matter, you are in my care Little M, I will see you as a son to love 』.

Which despite being repetitive, this made me very happy at that time, that now that I see Mia and now I already have my credential, I don't know why, but I felt like going out to the street to go out and play with Mia and Kurusu, so we were not going to enter the house, since we are alone the 3 of us, I decided.

『Let's go play the 3 of us together outside in the park or field, what do you say?』.

『Let's play in the park? Yes, I want to!』

『I was planning to study a little this morning, but I can leave it for later, well, let's have a walk the 3 of us together in the park, Mia-san, M-san 』

I was very happy about this, since it will be the first time I go out to play with the two of them alone, speaking all this in relation to the family, I feel that I will have a lot of fun and love if I am next to the two of them.

----------------------------------------------------------

Now I find myself resuming my routine as I am doing lately, I am easily getting used to this type of daily and normal life, it is not that I have left it aside, I have always had it inside me, preferring to be at home than to be fighting or showing that I am someone strong, of course there is a part of me that wants to improve in this aspect, but I will be honest, although you know that you have a work that you have a potential and opportunity to follow it, in many cases either you do not allow yourself for different reasons, or on the contrary, if you have the time and everything you need to do it, but here comes a disadvantage that I had forgotten that I had, is to postpone it or if you want to define it faster, to be lazy in what your obligations are. 

It is not that I have not realized that I have this problem, but that I have it very present, one plays with his own mind that he can leave it for another day when he has more time, and when that day comes you say the same thing, that you will leave it for another day because now you have other things to do, yes.... My self-motivation is not the best of all, that's why I have respect for those who make an effort with their own thinking that it is for their own good in everything they do, the truth is that I have had this problem since I was a child, I feel that I would have been a boy without many aspirations and I would be satisfied with what I have, ah! Do not worry, we will not touch again the subject of conformism, I learned a long time ago in the kindest and most innocent way why I should make an effort because others urge me to do so, and recently I learned it again in the most abrupt and dangerous way possible, ah!.....I still feel the pain in my body... Of course I want to get better! I have a clear goal in this world, which is to recover the powers that are dormant inside me! But...I have very well understood that I need someone to force me to do it, even with threats to motivate me and I can fulfill it, I am of that kind of people that you need to be aware of him to fulfill these goals, something very rare and even annoying, why an external to me would help me to fulfill my goals if I have nothing to do with it? Unless we also have a similarity in what we want but ... The truth is that no, no one would literally take care of you in a real world until they see you in everything you proposed and pushed, you managed to get, not that the real world is an imaginary world. So me, I must strive alone to achieve it.

『I've finished what I had to do in my room, I've taken care of the plants, I've done my blessing, I guess now it's time to...』

『Do you want some morning fights Ya-kun?』

『¿? No, I don't think so, this time I'm going to stop by today Rino, from so many morning fights we've had, my body is starting to get sore and------』

『Don't you want to get tired? 』

『Fatigue? That's not what happens to grandpas, but let's say yes, maybe tomorrow we'll have our little morning fights Rino, see you later *smiles*』.

I was leaving my room where I waved my hand while I said goodbye to Rino, who my friend after several days with the same routine of our little fights, as I started to get a little annoyed by the fact that I have to move to do everything by myself, although it's fun I will not deny it, but it is annoying to do something that does not really come to anything.

After a nice breakfast with everyone together, I realized a little more about how things are in this home, actually my first impression is that maybe they spend most of their time together, doing their own thing or getting involved with each other in some way without apparent reason, but I have noticed something, even though they are a close family as Aniki described several times, they don't spend all their time together, after breakfast each one goes about their day to day life as they see fit, they have a personal and even private life you could say, where only they are involved and nothing else, although I might be noticing it a lot more because I started to look more closely, but yes, since a few days ago I noticed that they all have things to do, that means that everything that we consider fun or that there are always things going on that you will never get bored of, in reality is just a small part of their life that is not always present, even if we don't take it into account, they are normal and even to the point of being alone and that of course is important for each one, so even if they are busy or want to spend time alone, I appreciate more that when they have free time they decide to spend it with me, as in the case of Centorea.

Of course I have interacted much more with her in my stay in Aniki's house, it is nice to be by her side, leaving aside that she has a great respect for who she thinks she should have it, when she becomes friendly she is an ordinary girl, I like that she is very expressive at various times, I could even say that she is the one who would mostly be carried away by her emotions in various ways, but of course, unlike Mia, Centorea aka Cea, if she thinks before acting, although sometimes I think that if she thinks a lot before acting, I would say that she has a very traditional air, I don't think that in her own Species, which are the Centaurs, they have the same customs, but almost all of her room is set as if it were.

I was in Cea's room, it has a very traditional air, I don't think that in her own Species that are the Centaurs have the same customs as Japan, but almost all her room is set as if it were, the only thing I can say is that she must have been very fascinated by the culture, especially the ancient, honorable and respectable warriors, with straight thoughts before their own ideals, who would never let anyone bend and who prefer death to know that they did not comply with what they swore to fulfill, value and above all love. Yes that should be something that fits into the story of what the Centaurs were and still are in their day to day lives.

『One question Cea, what do you do almost every morning? It's just that if makes me curious how you almost always let us know and ask nicely that you will be absent for almost the entire half day 』

We were playing a 2 player co-op game in story mode, in all the days that passed, we have already passed 7 games in story mode together, that's a good amount for me, I also played before in my room with my friends, but more was of being outside doing various things that they considered of better profit, I even remember how Menhera and Rino commented to me.

『You don't get bored being in your room, there aren't many things to do here Y%$-6"-kun』.

『...Of course there are things to do! I'm at my computer! And then I go on to play games on my console!!!And then I go on to read manga and stuff!!!! For me it's not boring at all!!! *nervous*』

At that Rino who was in my room at the time, happened to look or rummage for something among my comfort zone, both around my computer especially as he was trying to find something, because of how he was snooping around I asked him what he was looking for, so.

『Nothing special, but I'm glad it's nowhere near here *smiles* You're still a little kid Ya-kun 』.

『What do you mean? *confused*』

He stroked my head as if congratulating me for something he didn't even know what he was referring to, I wondered what it was that he didn't find at that moment. Again Menhera and Rino were talking about what to do today since we are free, they always do this, all the meetings they do is always at my house, and the truth is the way they enter is also weird, as our houses are together, literally one day I saw them as both jumped from one window to another without any problem to get to my room, they were like nothing greeting me in the morning, of course my reaction to this was of not believing it because....

『Hey! Don't act like it's normal! Don't give up that calm smile of yours! You just did something impossible! A normal child couldn't jump all this distance! 』

『But you just saw that we were able to Y-$&--kun』

『Yes but!...you guys aren't normal are you? 』

『Well no, and thank you for considering us that we are not normal, that means we are special or at least different from others that makes us stand out, how observant you are Ya-kun』

『I think anyone with a bit of logical reason could see it, they should be more normal like Al-%$6&/, he if a good guy and I will continue to support him in everything he wants to achieve!!!! *excited*』

『Ah, that boy who wants to have many friends, I really like people like him, everything he does just say how he truly is, someone normal without hiding anything from anyone 』.

『Al-$%&3-san? Yeah, I think the same too, he's a very nice guy although a bit naughty, but him being aware of everything he does and always recognizing his mistakes, already makes him much better than anyone else』-『And above all, who would have thought that our Ya$%&&&-kun would be so friendly and support another person with all his heart, that's very adorable and admirable (Why don't you do the same with me *celebrity*)』

To this also Menhera happened to caress M's head who this one in the same way let himself do it, to so many compliments they gave him, and in continuing to plan what to do today, well as always, the best thing is to just go out with an improvised plan and see what happens, to this they were telling M to also go with them, where the little boy who seemed to refuse at first, this one ended up giving a sigh and standing up from his seat and....

『All right, let's go out there again (If you ask me, I don't have to refuse you) *happy*』 

It is incredible how much you can be influenced by another person simply because you appreciate it very much, especially when what they tell you is only in a quiet and innocent way that you can not reject it, it was not with a close relative and another of that circle, if not strangers who became important to me, if it is for them if I am willing to do many things.

Continuing with Cea, when I asked him what he does almost every morning, and even arriving sometimes in the afternoon, as we went to the second level, he calmly told me that....

『I train and discipline myself 』. 

He said it so normally that, where as if I had not understood what he said, I repeated again what he just said, and again he reaffirmed it to me with enormous sincerity.

『That's M-dono, every morning I go to the nearest forest, in there lives a Driade who is the protector of that forest, and she is also a friend of everyone from home, and as I just mentioned, in that forest I train and discipline myself in order not to lose my values that I learned from my Species, I am very aware that at some point something may happen, so in order not to get rusty, I decided myself to train on my own and protect everyone who I care about 』-『Life in human civilization, yes it is very relaxing especially since I live together with my Master *red* 』.

I understand, Aniki gets to be very attentive and helpful on many occasions that it is impossible not to feel very calm and unprotected, I understand I understand Cea, but I am surprised by Cea's decision, to train on her own when noticing that she was becoming weak, I don't take as an excuse the fact that she must adapt to the human world and leave such traditions still aside, no...she still keeps them and they will always be present because she knows she will need them at some point.

『That is really something to admire, Cea. That's why that day you proposed to me that you would train me, that would make sense...』

『That's right, I wanted you to be the first one to be his trainer and discipline, because the truth is that seeing you all small, vulnerable and skinny, of course you make me tender, but at the same time I think you're a weakling, and that a simple blow would leave you finished, sorry for being direct 』

『Don't worry, you're absolutely right hahahaha (Not true!!!! I am someone strong!!! I'm no wimp!!! Now I will be but when I get my powers back you'll see!!!!!)』

『Even though you're an Interspecies and I'm not saying you can stand up for yourself, but in my eyes and anyone else's, you wouldn't be able to do anything in the face of mortal danger M-dono』.

To Centorea's sincere words, that left me a little shocked, we managed to finish level 2 and now we were entering level 3, but in that moment I was thinking about what he said, everything I have lived so far, really I, I mean myself, just me, M as such or even my old self, would have been able to survive everything I have lived? The answer was obvious, of course not, if it had been just me without anything that makes me special, I would have died or been a problem in all situations, what made me stand out so far and surely will be for much longer, is this power that now I have realized that it is not mine but borrowed, but clearly me....

『Incredible M-dono! You're advancing the level so fast! Could you wait a bit though? The screen is swallowing me up 』

I'm just a normal guy that the only special thing he has is everything he knows from his old room and he's good at it all, plus not that could help me be a better person in this life I'm in now. 

『You said you wanted me to be the first one you trained? I mean a Master? But the way you said it, that means there's already someone you're training, right? 』

『That's right, since 2 weeks ago I'm training 2 young men, they are somewhat older than my Master, although their age doesn't correspond to their attitude especially one, I train normally my days, but when those 2 young men have time they come to me to instruct and train them, this surprised me a lot, that when they asked me and see that they wanted to improve I couldn't help in doing so 』

『2? that's incredible, I literally think you are already considered a Master Cea』.

『Master? no no no no, although those 2 young men and now you tell me, I am very happy to be considered one, but for me, I still think I still have a long way to go to be someone as important and respectable as being a Master of any discipline』.

To this we continue playing and move to the next level, before the conversation I just had with Cea, this made me change many things, how is life for one and how is life for others, I imagined everything but that Cea is training 2 young people? I did not see that coming, I asked if they are normal humans or if they are a Species, where Cea told me that they are 2 human police officers.

『2 cops? That makes much more sense, just like you they surely want to become stronger to protect what they consider important』.

See, that's what I mean by there are motivations outside of the personal that make you make decisions about yourself that lead you to be better people, both for Cea and those 2 cops, they want to become stronger for the sake of others more than themselves.

『Well M-dono! We have reached the Boss of the first world! Let's show him how good we are!!! 』

『It's the first World, these are always easy, don't worry Cea, we'll defeat him once and for all 』

『That confidence I like, put the same enthusiasm in your life M-dono』.

And with this last, my day with Centorea was gone, before retiring after a great day of games, to this Centorea was asking me again if I wanted her to train me too, which I repeat is something that suits me a lot at the moment but....

『I'll think about it, see you tomorrow Cea *smiles*』

To this I again turned him down...if I felt a little dissatisfied with my answer, why did I tell him I'm going to think about it? I literally just told him that I don't want his help and I'm not interested, that's how I would have taken it. I'm more and more aware of the things I have to do but I don't do them, maybe I'm getting used to it and going back to who I was before? Which is not that it's bad but...To this I felt a look in the distance all along the passageway, when I realized, it was Rachnera who was all the way down, she was staring at me with her eyes, which I also stared at her wondering internally that since when is she there, so I passed by to greet her.

『Hi Rachnera *smiles*』

『Hello Child M 』

『((╬ಠิ﹏ಠิ)) (She's still calling me child...)』

At this we kept looking at each other for no other reason, I kept staying in my same place, while Rachnera likewise gave no indication of moving, this only made the situation uncomfortable, and besides something tells me that it's not the first time he's been watching me, if not for days now he kind of set his gaze on me....

『Do we have something pending Rachnera? Or why do you keep staring at me so hard that...(It's already making me nervous)』

『Nothing is special, I'm just watching you and waiting for you to do something 』.

『Me do something? like what? What do you expect me to do? 』

To this Rachnera didn't answer me, where as it kind of annoyed me a little so I kept staring at her, if it's a staring contest, let her know that in this I don't plan to lose, I kept staring at Rachnera while she likewise was that I wonder what she is thinking...and the more I watched, Rachnera again I think she is thinking about something else, just like that time, seeing her other eyes on her face if that I realized something.....

『You're just like the gossipy aunt, aren't you? 』

Where to my comment that I said it just like that, to this Rachnera if I made her get a little bit out of trouble, she didn't expect me to say that to her, and she was asking why I thought that.

『Well, you spend your time watching almost everyone and you get to be a little bit watchful without showing it openly, besides Mia told me that you like to meddle in other people's situations』

『That girl...it's not meddling or gossiping, I just like to be aware of what's going on in my surroundings 』

『Yeah yeah right, you're a gossip, plus since you're an Arac----!!!! You have your web of information!!!! Because you're a spider!!!! You understand!!! Spider! Spider web! Web!!! 』

『[・ヘ・?]』

『 (・・.)ゞ』

I don't even know what I did myself, maybe I tried to break the ice, break the spider web, it's ok I'll stop now....But Rachnera was still looking at me now strangely because of my acting a while ago, she didn't say anything for a while, where Rachnera crossed her arms while I...was about to speak at that moment, but Rachnera realized that I was going to force the conversation, where at the end she said.

『I'm going to be watching you for a few more days, you already talked to Centorea, now it's your turn to talk to the others and make a decision, and I see that if you like to watch without hesitation, until then I hope you have decided what to do from now on, not to scare you or anything but, I don't like people who don't do anything having everything in their favor 』.

Saying that Rachnera withdrew from the passageway, where I was left...a bit confused and scared, but I didn't avoid thinking that if she's just a gossipy broad and now she's even a cheeky one, it's not like Rachnera does many things either, she stays at home and always goes out whenever she's related to Kurusu, but in general....

『You also don't do anything Rachnera...』

He said I don't do anything, if I end up bothering me more than I thought. At that moment I saw that Aniki was leaving his room ready to go to his night classes, as I met him I greeted him kindly while he was also doing it, and as he was leaving he told us that he will not be able to prepare dinner, but that Mia at this time should already be returning to the house with all the necessary supplies so that we do not run out of hunger tonight.

『I'll be back later tonight, so please pass the word to the others not to wait for me, I charge you please, M-san, Papi-san 』

『『Yes』』

When I realized, Papi-san was also by my side and had heard everything, but he seems to misunderstand a little bit.

『That we wait for you all night until you come back!!!! Don't worry my Husband!!! That's something I always do!!! *happy*』

And you could say that she does, although she is always beaten to sleep very early and it is her other friends who take her to her room to rest. But at Papi's words, Kurusu simply said.

『Yes, I know Papi-san, thank you very much for the effort you make *smiles* 』.

And before this Kurusu was leaving the house to have his night classes, I was surprised how always calm and positive Kurusu is, I think I've never or almost never seen him give the opposite to his friends, he is too considerate if he sees that he doesn't cause any trouble. 

『Ahhh...he already left, and I couldn't prepare his dinner again.... 』

At this we heard how Mia just entered the house, she met Kurusu outside while he was leaving, they greeted each other and said goodbye, but Mia looked tired as if she had walked as far as she could from the shopping district to the house, sad was the Lamia since she couldn't prepare her obento for dinner again.

At this point we approached Mia, and it's true now that I think about it, where does Aniki eat dinner? Since she always leaves without eating before and when she studies she comes back very late at night, she doesn't make herself an obento either now that I remember....

『It's just that they eat a lot in this house 』

Papi told me about something very common in this home, and is that they eat too much, although feeding almost 10 people, which 8 are Species of various sizes, as the portion of a human would not contain a Species, and is a situation of long before, the expenses of the month are consumed mostly in meals and so on, and even came to be several times without money for meals and resorted to get products from a nearby forest. So to save if it is something that is very present, Aniki prefers that we have dinner, we have our 3 meals a day, while he in his study days, he can settle for a dinner because not so recommended ....

Come to think of it that day I met him for the first time, he was also buying food at Konbini....

『If we ate less we would have money left to make dinner for my Honey, but we are very gluttonous and always order more at breakfast and lunch. We don't even leave leftovers *sad* 』

『It's just that my Husband's food is very good!!! I always repeat 4 or 5 times!!! 』

『And I about 3 or 4....*sad* 』

『Eh? That's right! They always repeat dish, if Papi repeats 5 at breakfast and lunch, that makes it 10, at dinner I've seen her eat 3 times, at least she restrains herself a little, then she eats....』-『You eat 13 times a day?????』━(◯Δ◯∥)━ン.

I looked at Papi who was calm and smiling, and when I looked at her at my comment, I looked back at her and asked her....

『How come you eat so much is that little body of yours ....*scared*』.

『Everything that my Husband prepares, my duty is to eat it all!!!! *happy*』

I was really scared, if with only Papi already eating 13 dishes, if we count everything Mia eats a day, and Centorea, and Rachnera, Mero, Lala, Suu...literally it's a big expense.....

Now I understand, it's a good excuse, a very good one....the truth is that yes, I'm not one to repeat, usually with just one dish I find myself satisfied, but now that they say it, I repeat 2 times just because of how good and rich Kurusu cooks.....

『I can't be swallowing and swallowing, playing and playing, taking up space like a parasite without doing anything to give back all the spheroot that Aniki does...』 -『Well, I can't be cheeky, I think I can get to work』. 

I said it without further ado that idea, where Papi as well as Mia were confused and surprised at this decision that came out of nowhere, which now that I just said it I also realized my words....

『Eh? me...work?....*scared*』
