Chapter 226
One more painfully long and uneventful chapter left... Next chapter in either 4-12 hours or otherwise like 24-30.
Year 7446, Month 4, Day 28
In front of the fence that surrounds the house there's a large stable and on the other side of there's plaza that also acts as the training place for the squires. Even further in on the other side of the plaza is three storehouses that have been there since before I was born. From a position where we can see the plaza on the left side of the stable is the main building of the house that hasn't changed at all. In the back of the main building there should be the small storage room that I lived in for a period connected to it. Beyond that in between the storehouses and storage room is a bit of a plaza and that acts as the training place for the squire children under 10 years old to swing their swords. How nostalgic.
"What the, if you're going to come home you should say something. We haven't prepared anything."
Brother said that while smiling and welcoming me. It seems when he was patrolling around in the village he caught sight of us and came running back on his horse. He detoured around the gate of the house and waited for us.
"Sorry, brother. But, I wanted to return once now while I still could. There's something I want to talk to father and mother about as well."
I exchanged greetings with brother while putting my horse into the stables.
People came out of the house as well. It's father and mother. The two of them were smiling. I left Angela to take off the harness while I approached my parents with big steps accompanied by Miduchi and Gwine.
"I've heard from everyone. You're Chizumagurol-san right?"
Mother smiled seeing Miduchi.
It was the same that time with sister-in-law Shani-san, she shouldn't become an unpleasant mother-in-law.
"Yes. It's nice to meet you, my name is Midu~ritto.Chizumagurol. Sorry for the rudeness of not changing."
Miduchi unfastened her helmet with her left hand and held it under her arm as she stretched her right hand out to mother, it seems she was able to properly talk without biting her tongue.
She's grown a bit as well I see.
"Has this child been causing any trouble for you?"
"No way! I've always been in his care. Also, the other day Shanleid-sama and Milhaia-sama even prepared armor for me.."
"It looks good on you..{Status Open}."
Mother took Miduchi's hand and smiled while checking her status.
I thought there wouldn't be any problems but this is a relief.
"Who's that?"
After greeting Miduchi, mother asked while looking at Gwine.
I guess it's no longer necessary, to introduce her.
"U..Umm, M..My name is Gullinel.Akdam. I'm always in the care of Al-san~"
..Why are you biting your tongue.
While we were exchanging harmonious greetings, an ear-splitting high voice echoed around ruining the atmosphere.
"Becky-sama!!!"
It's the voice of a boy.
"Uwaa~n!! Big brother hit me seriously again~! I'll tell father on you!!"
"It's training so it can't be helped right!! Here stand!!"
So Zetto and Becky were in the middle of training...
"Those kids~! Sorry, I'm going for a bit. Al, sorry but look after my horse!!"
After saying that brother pushes the reins of his horse over to me and ran off between the stables and the house.
I made a bitter smile while asking my parents, "Just now was that Zetto and Becky?"
"The first voice was Al. Those kids, no matter how many times we tell them they start doing make-believe practice matches all on their own. Unlike you kids they're hopeless prankster brats. No, I guess Mill was like that as well huh?"
