Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

Chapter 405 Back Outside



The scene of her death... it wasn\'t something I will ever forget. And this snow, my first snow after her death, was now something special for me.

But, Rein had a sad and hateful look on her face.

[[ What\'s wrong... sister Rein? ]] Celes saw her distorted face too so she asked her with a concerned voice.

And she smiled at her voice, washing off the bad expression that she knew wasn\'t something I... any of us would like.

"Haaa..." she sighed and looked at all of us one by one, and lastly at me.

Her eyes said she didn\'t want to talk about this but still, she talked through Celes\'s connection.

[[ "Winter and snow... I don\'t like it much.

My mom died when it was snowing. It was snowing when I fought my first battle and was badly injured.

It snowed when I encountered a (Green) ranked creature for the first time, when I almost lost one of my arms, after the day one of my close friends died, and also before the day I lost my first group of friends.

Winter and these falling crystals of white snow... it\'s beautiful. But, I don\'t know if I ever am able to like it..." ]]

[[ "You don\'t have to." ]]

I patted her head and the many words I wanted to say to comfort her were conveyed to her.

I smiled, she smiled, the two of them behind us also smiled and... I thought about how I still didn\'t know everything about her.

\'She has lived a long, painful life of more than a hundred and twenty years... of course, I don\'t know everything about her. She also doesn\'t have a cursed memory like me so it\'s not possible that she herself remembers everything that has happened throughout her long life.

Hopefully... I will know more things as our time passes.\'

Hopefully...

"Okay then. Let\'s go everyone~. I think mom and grandma would be dying to greet their dear Eon~!"

And I had no doubt her cheerful words would be true.

"Haaa... yes. let\'s go."

It was night so we will spend the night at her house and then go back in the morning.

The two of us were actually stronger than just a few days ago with the knowledge and powers that we gained during this small expedition.

I knew her grandparents would be surprised by just seeing us and the beings that we brought with us from the place that was the cause of her grandma\'s almost death.

\'I should take the povpoi out so they can see the forest, snow, and sky too, right?\'

They would be surprised... and I knew she will love to meet all of them too.

She had met Mave and she liked her from just that one short meeting.

They were fun children too. So...

"Rein. Wait a minute."

"Hmm?"

She had started walking, just to stop at my call to look back.

But I didn\'t answer her confusion and just called out my white crack.

-Ooooooooooong.

The surprised young colorful furry blobs appeared on the snow-covered ground and started looking around the area with an astonished expressions.

The view around the place was very different from the home that they had lived for their whole lives.

And the cutest reaction of them...

[< Sky!!! >]

[< Endless place that one can see when they lol up~!

It\'s covered by dark clouds and snow\'s falling so it must be winter~!

It\'s really the sky~~! And, and! Moon~! >]

[< Woooooow! look at these things~! They are trees but they look far better than the ones we saw there. They are also bigger than the ones mommy made! it\'s cooooooool~! >]

[< Outside~~~! >]

There were many unique reactions from the young ones but all of them were definitely happy to see the pretty snow and the open nature.

The young ones admired nature\'s beauty, talked among themselves, and thanked me without even looking at me.

They were just amazed so Mave just sighed, came to us, and just apologized on their behalf.

It wasn\'t needed though. And I tried to tell her that but she still bowed. It was an apology from a mom.

Well... I accepted it this time and started my chat with Mave after she cheerfully greeted Rein. She liked her too.

And Rein was also cheerful after seeing the cute small furballs~. Her eyes genuinely wanted to just pick up some of them and hug them to her heart\'s content.

They were creatures that can use magic but they were just some cute children for her.

But she didn\'t interrupt their experience of the first time seeing the outside world. She already knew their sad story after all.

The children were in a world of their own too.

They just continued admiring and looking around when they suddenly saw a scary-looking person!

[< Aiiiik!? >]

They all jumped up in surprise at the sight of our lich Morris. He looked fearful to these children but, they then felt the great natural energy of darkness from him and were surprised.

There was one brother among them who was blessed by the darkness attribute and he especially liked this person.

They knew their mommy was talking with him a while ago so he wasn\'t a dangerous person. So they were at ease relatively quickly.

But after they saw him, and the lizard uncle that they had met a while ago... their cute blue eyes finally fell on Rein. And this time, the reaction these children had was a lot similar to the one they had when they saw me.

[< WOW~! >]

And they did the same thing they did when they first saw me... they jumped towards her, smashed into her, and climbed her when she had fallen to the ground, laughing because of the tickles from their furry body.

\'Maybe she will understand how fun it is to be buried under them and not think strange things. Though their weight is still hard to handle...\'

"Kyahahahaha~!"

She was happy and they liked her because of her unreal affinity with one of nature\'s prominent elemental attributes.

It was amazing for them to meet someone who was so close to nature\'s element that they might not have thought was possible.

\'Will they jump on her and my grandparents too? On Anna and Carla?

If so...it actually would be an amazing site to see. Hehehe...\'

I was laughing in my mind while she was laughing out loud. The bond between them had started to form and some of them were really interested in her.

I knew all of them including Mave will be interested in Anna and also that their teeth and weight would be a problem but it will be alright. I knew things will play out somehow...

"Let\'s go now... let\'s do the introductions as we walk," I said and extended my hand for her to get up from the small povpoi on her.

They previously climbed me and I knew she couldn\'t bare to hear that... I know it\'s petty but I still didn\'t like them being on top of my Rein for much longer...

***

In the Atraxia mansion...

"Eon~! My dear son finally arrived~!" her mom cheerfully greeted us as soon as she climbed down the stairs and saw us.

We walked for a while and used her travel skill after I stored back the povpoi for a while.

We had arrived inside the house directly and because of the obvious presence of monsters, tens of knights and almost a hundred guards appeared out of many corners of the house and surrounded us.

It was great that she hurriedly calmed them and explained the situation and they grasped everything quickly, admiring their young miss, their master, for having acquired a powerful being like Morris the lich.

And some of them who actually had heard the name Morris were further astonished.

They all then bowed deeply, not wasting more of our time and vanishing into the corners they were guarding.

It\'s amazing but more than that...

Everyone had heard the commotion and was then informed of what had happened by the assassins.

They heard the news that we had arrived and her mom was the first person to come running to greet us.

They all naturally had heard about how we brought some interesting creatures with us from our small trip but still...

The first thing her mom did was to give me a warm hug, then one to her, and then hold both our hands with hers.

She was a cheerful person. A very capable one too.

She already had the talent to deal with a strong presence and the beings of different races were among them.

So, she wasn\'t affected by the great presence the two of our companions had in the slightest.

She even smiled warmly at the two and they gave her a respect-filled bow.

And she just gave the two a pat on the shoulder and asked them to look after the two of us.

Morris answered her with as great respect as his master. She was the great mother of his master after all. And as he saw from the situations just now, both of us loved her as much as she loved us.

It was important for him to maintain a good relationship with her and he had great appraisal skills so he must have seen her status window and understood that looking down on her would be some of the worst mistakes he would ever do in his two lives.

She was amazing for two reasons.

Her insane capabilities in handling all the matters of the world-famous musician, her husband, the silver sky, Dorian.

The second one... her one and only unique skill.

It was a terrifying ability and something that no one would think belonged to a normal person like her.

Well... it wasn\'t that important to us.

She was amazing.

As a mom as well as a partner.

After she hurriedly came down, the first thing she did was observe us for any scar or injury we might have had and she was relieved that we had not a single visible cut on our bodies anymore.

It was the best idea to thoroughly clean up, heal, and recover before returning.

There was no need to worry for her. The opponent had almost committed suicide before either of us could open up our cool cards.

We were fine right now. And she was relieved by that fact. We were able to avoid the punishment thanks to that.

Still, it wasn\'t like she didn\'t know that we had suffered a great deal of damage in this small expedition. And even though she knew that it was a great enough result after fighting a strong foe, her heart still ached.

She was awesome... and so were the rest of them.

They were one step late but the other three people also came down looking as amazing as they had always been.

They also evaluated us, and checked their skills, and only after they were fully convinced that we were fine did they all sit down to hear our story.

...

It was a great night with snow continuing to cascade down from the starry, moonlit sky.

We were talking about the great experiences we had in this small time.

It was fun to introduce the children to her family and... in this time of peace, unknown to any of us, preparation for another great disturbance was taking place.

A great disturbance that would take many things form many people.

But still... it would be just a fun scenario for us and... this time, both our families.
