Shut-in Magician

The next morning, the first person to wake up was Siu.

I didn't put my turn to sleep. Because it is a safe place at the foot, with strong ties around it. Even so, I guess, I would have had a Laetitian spiritual favor. Siu can tell the signs even if he's asleep, and given the skills of the Chiahis, "Sign Detection" should be available.

I know there was nothing at night, but I look around with my usual habits. When that's over, I'll have breakfast ready. Chiahi came out of the tent as Siu was playing with Ferres, stirring in a relaxing pan.

"How early are you getting up..."

Siu tilted his neck in a frightened voice.

"It's the way it's always been."

"Kids should get some sleep now. Huh..."

I made a big stretch and sat next to Siu.

"Thank you for yesterday. Is that grilled meat? That was delicious."

"My grandfather liked the meat from the third bear. I hunted a lot."

"Heh."

"I prefer rock hogs."

"They're both, hey, warcraft!

Hehe, laugh at each other.

"The crusade ended yesterday, didn't it? Just for a second, can I do some herb collection?

"Fine. Returning to the King's Capital will be in time to leave here after noon."

"Thanks."

"There 'll be good herbs around here. It's Mount Royer."

"Yeah. Aside from the common helluva, there's going to be medi-hellubis and proficiva around here,"

"Is that the substrate of the potion?

"Yeah. I don't have a lot of trouble with these things."

"Magic bag, you look great."

If you collect them when you can, you can make potions as soon as you find a special ingredient. Siu has production magic, and since he has level five, he won't fail either.

So I'm also sneaking "exploring" the only ingredients on Mount Royer, so I'm going to pick them up later.

Siu was excited that he was going to be able to collect a good amount if he could use it in the morning.

I can hear the chitchat and the little bird stirring.

The other members still seem to sleep nicely in the tent.

Unexpectedly, the signs of Kiahi changed.

I don't know what's going on, when Siu turns his gaze.

"... 'Kaya-nesama' is your national language?

A quiet voice returned.

To Siu, surprised and silent, Chiahi gave him a troubled but reassuring smile.

You fainted before, didn't you? That's when I heard it in my sleep. Siu would use a different word from ours once in a while. I thought it was an ancient language, but it doesn't seem like it. "

"... yeah"

"Tia. I was surprised to hear your name, not Siu's, but your family name. It's called Aquila, right?

"Yeah."

"Sounds like high elf."

"... it seems to be an ancient language to be exact. Because the language of the High Elf seems to be ancient."

"I see. So, you're drawing high elf blood?

I don't think so.

Hearing Siu's answer, Chiahi moved a single eyebrow and put it on his expression that he was surprised.

I have no choice. In the meantime, Siu spoke about his birth.

"My family name is what my parents left me with, and my grandfather thought, 'Probably a name.' Sioux, too, seems to be true. It was a meaningless word, but it was the last word that mattered, so I put it on. That's why countrymen like me have family names."

"Right."

"I also found out recently in the library in Wangdu. I guess a" siu "is just part of the letter. Aquila is an eagle, so I'm thinking it might have been a 'blessing word' for a child. There are many words left in the country."

"Really?

"I think you liked the ancient language books because they often come out with words of blessing, and because they have a lot of eagle designs. It's my own imagination."

It was the Father who blessed the child shortly after his birth, in ancient language. My mother was told at an early age that she was dressed like a noble daughter.

"They said they were both human. He said there was nothing to reveal except what he was wearing. That's why Grandpa said he'd run off. If they ran away, they took it from me because it was pathetic to turn me in."

"You were a good old man."

"Yeah."

The silence lasted for a while, but Xiu opened his mouth, thinking that he would not have forgotten about "Kaya-nei Sama".

"I think there are other species that still take over and use ancient language, besides high elves. I thought it was funny, so I'm looking into my reading hobbies."

Hmm, sighed, went on again.

"Kaya Sama" means "Kaya" sister. "

"Is that a woman by the name of Kaya?

"Yeah.... now I think you weren't even an adult yet"

Kiahi also seemed to notice the rhetoric of Siu's words.

"... when you were little, did you die?

"That's right. In war."

Right. So Kiahi shut up.

The admirable girl died from incendiary shells.

The girl who graciously held Sotaro, who was lonely, died before she grew up.

"Wai. You heard something weird."

"Yeah.... it might have been nice for you to ask. Because I never told anyone about your sister."

"You were a good boy, weren't you?

"That's right. He held me tight, he was a sweet kid. Kaya was the only one who held me tight."

Kiahi might have thought Siu had spoken out, humiliating himself for being "orphan" and "lonely". But no.

Unloved children are in every world. How will such a child grow up?

At an early age, in a small world, love is uninterrupted and great food.

It was thanks to her that Sotaro was able to live. Because of the love of that time, Sautaro proceeded without turning.

Even for Siu today, "Kaya Sister" is important.

Then, sooo, I was hugged.

"Nah, don't be sad. There are plenty of people out there who hold you tight."

"... yeah, you have a lot of them now. And Kiahi."

Grandpa used to give me hugs when I was little.

I've never been held tight lately, but occasionally Laetitia and Emina come to hold me.

Grandpa Stan stroked my head. I feel ashamed and warm.

And Siu, hold Ferres tight.

When I grew up, I thought I would never be able to hug or hug.

Siu reached out and held him to Chiahi.

"Kiahi will hold you, too."

Buh, and I heard a blowing voice from overhead, but I ignored it.

Pompom and stroked Kiahi's back like when he forgives Ferres.

"I wonder which is comforting."

Oh, and a big sigh fell out of my head.

He wanted to know if Siu was a "high elf" because Laetitia also had circumstances. Kiahi doesn't even know the details, but Laetitia always says, "I'll protect you if I find you".

This time, she said she probably didn't think so because she couldn't see the high elf look from Siu. But Kiahi was concerned about the word "kaya-nei sama" and asked Shiu.

Since high elves are treated like endangered species, I guess the Elves' Laetitia are engaged in protective activities.

Siu and Chiahi discussed it and came to that conclusion.

If you wait for everyone who decides to sleep late, you don't have much time. So Kiahi allowed Siu to act personally. Siu just goes out, cautioned not to go to a dangerous place. I'm sorry I seem to fool you, but I "metastasized" where I couldn't follow the signs.

Collect the herbs at once. I am pleased to be able to collect large quantities of Mediherbis as well as advanced Proficiva as a substrate for intermediate medicines. Even closer to the top of one of the mountain ranges, we discovered the finest Maxim, and Siu picked it with joy and courage.

At this time, I discovered that Sensory Movement could be activated multiple times at the same time. I regularly "saw" where Siu lied about collecting them, but I tried to see if there was anything else I could use. Even if I've experimented with it up to two times, I've never actually used it. When I added more, it took me a little while to get used to it, but I could. There was little change in the amount of magic either.

Magic seems to require the most magic for the first startup.

Experiments like this are fun.

When I returned, I thought it would be troublesome if Laetitia saw me in the "Spirit of the Wood," so I made it, but it didn't seem necessary.

Later I learned that the message of this Spirit seems to be useless too if I stay away. They can't recognize the "past." Always looking at "now". It may have been the fate of the spirits who disappeared at birth.
