Chapter 7: Ancestors

Krieet, a voice ripped me from the daydream. I reflexively directed my gaze towards the sound. A door opened, appearing to be an adult man with long black hair..

Whether it was instinct or just a feeling, my body reflexes moved slightly dodging as the man walked closer.

He noticed my movements, the corner of his mouth raised.

"W-who are you!?"

I stammered. He just smiled in response to my words. Either that's just my feeling, or that's what's happening. That smile, it gave me a little goosebumps.

"Hmm? Do you need to know?" He said with pride. Well, if it's just like this I can also know what answer he wants from me. People just want to be seen well, that's all. A simple thought.

"Obviously I'm asking, right?" My answer broke her confidence.

"U-ugh. somehow I feel that my blood is dropping drastically." said the man, showing his sad face and pressing on his chest.

"Stop joking! you're not really gonna lose blood when you answer me anyway" I said flatly.

"Ugh.. You're really hard to relax with huh?" He asked, raising the corner of his mouth.

"I'm sorry, all I got was answers. Questions not accepted" I said.

"Haih. alright alright.I understand, you're really hard to manage ya"

"Well, you asked me who I was, right?" Ask.

I nodded confirming his words.

"I am this well.I am a good-natured and not arrogant handsome man, does it answer your question, young man?" He said, flickering light shimmered around his face. In a moment, I felt enlightened by thousands of shooting stars.

"I'm sorry, but that doesn't answer my question" I said flatly.

"Eh? Of course not, I-" he said interrupted by me.

"Ah, okay. I see, you are a man who is said to be handsome and kind and not arrogant. You're not wrong, of course you're right. I was wrong when I asked you. I-i'm sorry! So don't answer my useless question just now, only the brainless know the answer. Continue saying!" My words are flat without pause.

His face paled when he heard my words. After all, that's not what he expected of me. This time, he looked completely shocked.

Whether it was coincidence or intentional. If it is intentional, then I can draw a conclusion if he just wants to use me, even though it could be driven by his conscience (if he has :v).

And then, for the smaller ones the chances are that this happened by chance. And, for sure the chances of him saving me on a conscience basis will be even smaller.

It can be seen at this time, although I already know but at least I will have a little chat with him. Well, let's just say I'm comforting her a little bit and returning her emotions.

"A-anu, did you save me and bring me here?" ask me innocently. Well right now I'm pretending to be innocent and afraid, after all it's not strange that a child like me can produce such a deduction isn't it!? After all, it would be very dangerous if he knew my situation as a reincarnator with full memory.

"Hmm? acting huh?" teasing looks at me.

"Well!" I clicked as if I realized his ridicule.

"Well, I'm just a simple guy who happens to hunt and-"

"Then? you want to say if you suddenly see an unknown child drowning in a river full of beasts? that so? that's bullshit!" My words broke his statement.

"oh? you realized? Hoho..I didn't think you could understand something like that!" proud answer. The flickering of shining stars accompanied his smile.

"Then? what do you really want from me? Mister?" Well, I don't know him. It's a bit disrespectful indeed, but 'he' has saved me, anyway at least I should be able to survive. That's my determination now.

"Ah? never mind. I know you're hungry, there's no difference between me and the one who tortured you if I even let you starve, right?" he said while giving me a plate of food.

"Once again you give me an answer that doesn't answer my question at all"

"What do you mean? Do you know who I really am? What then? What purpose did you do." I asked as I scrunched my forehead on guard.

He just laughed out loud at my silly words.

"Haish..you said it, so, what do you want me to do to you?"

I just kept quiet while staring flatly at him who was trying to taunt me. Well, it would have happened if my mental was a 7-year-old. But, the truth is, my current mentality is not more than 30 years too, should it be?.

"I'm saying, it looks like I got a talented student but it's hard to fool. Look how lucky I am!" Her speech.

I was silent for a moment.

'This guy, he's hard to guess. Although I can broadly predict the response, but I can't see the meaning of it at all. Either with my simple deduction, or with natural talent.it took a long time to get concrete information about it.'

"Five ancestors, who are you" my chirps.
