Become A Human In Another World
ACT 2: Chapter 23 - A Day of Peace
"So, how's your research?" Uncle Childe was in my room, with a cup and tea in his hand.
I was a little confused as to whether I should say what I found last night to uncle or not.
Maybe I should say it?
Will it only bring additional problems? I don't know. Anyway, I have to shift the question first.
"Again, uncle knows that I did an investigation last night. And early in the morning uncle came here. Come onl. See situation! I also need a break, right?" I just pouted while stirring the tea quietly.
"Aahaha! Don't say that! You don't need a break! Don't pretend to be human!" He said while laughing.
Heh? What do you think I am? You think I'm a human monster and pretend to be them? No kidding!
I can resist my urge to sleep and only sleep as necessary, but I'm still 10 years old! I still need sleep for my growth!
"Huff. How else. I can only calm and comfort myself with this tea." I said it while drinking my tea.
He started smiling. A smile similar to that of Ruly!
"Don't say that! This is also a request from Syila. He wants to see you, you know!" Now his eyes changed.
"Heeeh, now using her son as an excuse. You shameless old man. You're the worst." I used a cold and flat look.
He took a sip of tea, then said back.
"Humm, if you don't believe me, you can look in the window behind you. He seems curious." Childe laughs.
I spontaneously turned my head, and found a face I knew stuck to my bedroom window.
It is true that my room is on the first floor, but the window has been made so that it is not visible from the outside.
"Honestly, it looks funny. But no matter how hard he tried, he would only look at himself from behind that glass. I put a barrier." I put my cup down, started to stand up.
"Hou. What are you doing here that you don't want to be seen from the outside, you little teen." Uncle Childe tried to tease me.
"Don't say anything stupid! I just put some small anticipation! I really don't want any information leakage here." I walked slowly towards the window, then opened it quickly.
It didn't know the window was going to open, and it pressed its head in too much, making it go into my room. Inverted head down because of a fall.
"Abduduk!!" the "it" thing complained as he slightly rolled in my room, making it like a small animal.
"Youngpam!" She, Syila who had been caught off guard justifying her body position then stood up nervously.
"Uncle! There's intruders! I don't know him! What do we do?" I quickly picked up the sword around then pointed it at the smiling Syila.
The smile that disappeared turned into a questioning gaze.
"You're right, Ren. I don't know him, but maybe he's a new kind of monster. Don't come any closer or you'll die!" Haha! Uncle Childe can also play dramas like this!
"Huh moo! Don't play with me! If Ren's still possible, but if it's dad too, you should know your age better, Dad!" Syila crossed both hands on her chest.
I can't help but laugh hearing this.
"As he said, cake. Think of your age once more, Grandpa. Ah but I can play again with you next time." I smiled at him.
"Ah, you're so mean, son. Looks like this grandpa is just annoying. So, I'm sorry." Childe started to leave the room quickly. He's trying to tease me, isn't he? Yep! He obviously wanted to tease me!
I stared fixedly at Uncle Childe's departure with a sharp look, before the atmosphere became completely silent now.
"So," I turned my gaze to Syila who had wanted to run away from this place.
"What's up, Syila?" I looked at him. I smiled and made my eyes form a line. Fu Fu Fu's. Special smile!
"A-a-ahh, right. Maybe I'm bothering you, huh?" He's feeling a little guilty maybe?
"No no! You saved me! You saved me from that old man." I need to get it straightened out quickly.
Besides, he really saved me when I didn't have to tell Childe about this "Apostle. I don't know what his reaction is, but I don't want him to know.
"Ah, okay. So..." He said it slowly by fusing his two fingers together, forming a cute pose.
Ahh, I think I know what he wants!
"Why? Do you want some tea? Or do you want to go out?" I put my hand on him. Well, it's like a ritual because every time I go, Syila will always take me for a walk.
He pulled my hand, running like he was happy with this. I am also honestly also happy, because I was able to meet people as good and beautiful as Syila. Uwaahh, my life is perfect.
She didn't expect anything from me either, but I knew she was sincere with me. I'm thrilled. I don't know why that's why I'm just happy.
Something important, something I need to take care of.
Waitaminute! I just let Syila drag me. Where am I actually going to take me?!
"Rin! Do you remember?" Syila's words broke my daydream. I soon realized, this isn't in town.
This place, a cozy meadow.
"Ahh, why are you taking me to this place?" I'm a little confused.
"Do you remember this?" We both got to a big tree. Shady trees with meadows all around. Ah, this is where we first met 4 years ago, right?
I remember bringing her here 4 years ago and just a little bit of pricking her at the time. As a result, he was angry with me for a few days.
"Well, I remember. Why?" I spontaneously answered.
"I don't know, but I want to visit this place with you again." Syila said that while bowing her head.
Huuu, it seems like this is very appropriate to prick him again!
"Ah yes! This is the first place you express your feelings, right? I remember what you said back then. Do I want to repeat?" I put my face closer, tried to tease her.
"Don't remember that again, fool! Hummmm! You're annoying!" Crossing angry hands.
"Aahaha! You remember that means right, don't you?"
"Yes. That's right." He's? I was a little surprised because he was following me.
"Yes. That's right, and I said back then, that I like you, and it will continue, even increasing with time, right?" He smiled towards me.
"Silk?" I'm a little, no. Really touched by that.
"Yes. Know it? It really happened now. It may seem strange, but when we grow up, I want us to be together. Well, even if it's still 5 years away." He closed his eyes slowly.
I really can't say the word. 5 more years was indeed decided as the year of my marriage with Syila, which was decided after a long debate.
Usually, political marriages often happen at 12, but because we don't want it to look like that, you put it off.
At least until we were 15. Here, 15 years is the usual age to get married.
But most strangely, there is no maximum lifespan to find a partner. Maybe because the age system had no effect on the elves.
"Ren, if possible I'd like to hold the ceremony here! I'll make this a special place!" He jumped up, made his short hair flutter, then spun around and fell on his back.
"Yes. You're correct. Maybe it's better that way." I smiled calmly.
"Hey Ren! We cheated!" Syila turned her body back to me.
"If you smile like that, I'm embarrassed to say it all!" Said. Ughhhh! It was both fun and embarrassing! I couldn't help my reflexes to turn my face away..
The atmosphere became awkward for a moment. I really don't know what topic I should start!
"W-w, Ren! I remember there was a store with new food in town! There are foods called crepes. He said it was sweet and crunchy. And it's quickly becoming famous in the city." Syila started the conversation first.
"Uh, um. You want it? Are we going there now?" I immediately squatted down near his back.
"No. That's very crowded. It's a little hard to order. Besides, I want to eat it with you." Answer slowly. Syila, if you keep saying that, I'll die of shame!
"Umm. Then, will you wait for me? Maybe 5 days from now, and maybe too, it's getting quieter." I patted her shoulder.
"Ah, then, please, yes! Promise!" He flipped over, showing his smile while showing his little finger.
I was a little confused, and then I understood. I hooked my little finger with hers.
"Yes. After that we ate crepes. We'll do it until you get fat." I tried to joke a little.
"Ah. I won't get fat with just that!" He turned his face back, showing an angry expression.
"Ha huh! I was just kidding!" I laughed when I heard that.
