Chapter 15: Successor

A flash of shadow entered through the window and fell down quite hard.

My eyes were round, in disbelief as I watched someone in black robes fall down with their head down and feet up.

Sighs. Uncle Edward breathed in tiredness. Well, I guess I'll scold him if I face him as Uncle Edward.

"Aaduduw! It hurts my back! Haish. want a face or appearance as young as anything, still, my soul is so old. huh. I hope there is a young man here who wants to be my successor.."

"Ah, congratulations dat-" Edward said.

"Aah! I don't care about any title or title! I'm old, Edward! Isn't it natural for an old man like me to live in peace with his wife and children!?"

"Uncle! What happened to the master?" My words whisper.

"Ah, right too, it's the first time isn't it? You see the master drunk? Well, my lord it's a little excessive to drink"

"O-oh. I see, it's worth it"

'Either why does it remind me of the same person who couldn't control himself while drunk.. oh yeah, how is it? Is old Jordan there?' I smiled as I recalled my past life. Well, old man Jordan.

"Uhuk! Young master, I'm sorry to interrupt, but can you talk to him for a moment? At least he would not feel sad and his gloomy aura would soon go"

"Ah, w-w. master.." I tried to divert the conversation.

"Hm? You really want to be my successor!?" She got up and immediately walked up to me, grabbed me by the shoulder and looked at me with her pleading eyes.

"Eh!?" I was surprised when I heard his response.

"A-anu, I," I tried to resist subtly, but...

"Yes! From now on you will be my successor!"

I was silent to his one-sided decision. Meanwhile uncle edward who noticed my cold gaze immediately arched his smile kindly.

'I know that! Must be you, right? Who planned this with the master!? Don't put a face not knowing what yours is, damn it!'

I cursed in my heart.

"Eh? W-what are you talking about, my successor?"

"Ah, let me repeat, Suudaah beerapaa laamaa anndda planned this, huh!?" Sharpest.

He was shocked and immediately switched the conversation.

"ah! Huh, I remember! I guess I should take the next mission!" He clapped his hands and immediately disappeared.

I turned my gaze to Uncle Edward who seemed to step back.

"Ah, young master, I congratulate you, and also, I think I should also resign"

Brakk!

'Damn, now you're leaving huh!?'

'Ah, come on, forget it.'

'Ah, right! This inn has a library, right!?'

I immediately got out of my bed and stepped out.

'Hmm, where are ya? I'm sure Uncle Edward said the end of the hall, but..'

Sigh. I sighed tiredly as I looked at the passageway that was split into four directions.

'So? Where's the end of the hall?'

Taps. Taps. Taps.

The sound of footsteps could be heard from far away. I approached the direction of the sound.

I was surprised to find some children who looked smaller than me running around with a smile on their face.

"Ah, right, now they must be waiting for me, and again, I must save them" I immediately turned my gaze and left where I was standing.

Without me noticing, a pair of eyes looked at me with a hint of sadness, "You've really shifted everything for your family, huh?"
