The Great Adventure In World Of Sword And Magic.
Chapter 13 - [My Daughter]

...CHAPTER 13 - MY DAUGHTER...

...◇◇◇...

Silence enveloped the entire dining room.

I smiled stiffly and Mom looked at me softly(?)

"..." - ".(I)

"..." - ".(Mother)

"Myu?" (Senka)

The three of us just kept quiet and didn't talk to each other.

At this moment, Senka was being carried by her mother and her face looked gentle while carrying her.

However, it was different from his smile on Senka. Turning around with the looks, a heavy intimidating aura felt pointed at me.

'Ught.. I don't feel well...'

The inevitable situation, how confused I am now.

Precisely this happened, starting when I was sitting at the dinner table with Mom and discussing about Dad and the circumstances when I disappeared.

Then when I'll tell you everything.

Without any cue, a cute innocent little girl appeared behind my shadow.

"..." - ".I fell silent as I felt something pull my shirt behind me. I slowly glanced back and for a moment my chest hurt.

"Father," he said innocently.

'Ukkh.. Funny thing..'

Unchangeable situation, Mom looked surprised to see a little girl come and immediately called me "Papa."

This happened because Senka came out of my shadow suddenly and Mother who saw it immediately caught the wet that happened.

He immediately stood up and approached Senka without me being able to respond.

"Who is this kid??" Mom glared at me and immediately hugged her.

I broke out in a cold sweat and nervously stared at Mother taking Senka into her arms without delay the moment she saw him.

Only, did you realize that Senka could get into the shadows?

'Senka, why are you out?! Didn't I ask you not to show up??' I said in thought staring at the little girl.

'Umyu.. Papa, I'm hungry..'

Senka touched her stomach, saw it that way. Mom gave him food on the table for him, a little biscuit.

Then Senka ate it with pleasure.

'Senka?'

'Myuu.. Outside there is a good smell. So Senka went out for food. Hehe~'s'

That's not a justifiable reason?!

"Uhhhh.." I lethargicly leaned against the chair.

"Rin? What's up, son?" I saw him acting strange and asked.

Looking at Mother who was confused, but still glared at me while talking.

Uh ... That's kind of scary.

"What have you been doing all this time, Ren?" Say something a little threatening.

"Eh? I'm not.." I said nervously and tried to reason.

Looks like I'm in trouble.

A sharp look led to me.

"..Gulp."

"So, can you tell me. Why did this boy call you Papa and where did he come from?" Mom said as she gave Senka another cake.

"Yay!" Senka ate the biscuits and pastries voraciously.

Seeing Senka's behavior made me smile without realizing it.

But, Mother asked for my explanation especially regarding how Senka came out of my shadow. So I tried to swipe.

"I just went outside the village for a while.. "

Mom looked at me to explain in more detail...

"Pulse.. There's something.."

"Explain."

"Uh, yes.. I once found a mysterious Egg in the middle of the Bloody Forest during the Hunting Festival. Then last week I went there for-.."

So I started telling it without including that there was a Demon or where I almost died.

"Thank God.. Ren, you survived.."

Mom smiled happily and relieved.

I'm happy for you. It's true to just tell him that I fought some Monsters. Even if it was as bad as something like a Demon.

"So Senka saved Ren. A good boy.."

"Hehe~ is a bit ticklish.."

She rubbed her head gently. Looking at Senka and Mom, I became soft at my family's interactions.

Then..

Baw! The sound of the door opening loudly rang out outside the house.

The sound of rushing feet reached us, then the figure appeared behind the door.

He panted and looked around all the way to me.

"Haa. huh.. Ren! Where are you?!" His new voice arrived.

"Dad??" I was spontaneously astonished, even though I felt like I had not seen him for long.

Dad only knew I was gone for a week.

"Ken, relax." Said Mom approaching Dad.

Dad started walking coming with fatigue straight towards me.

He hugged me firmly without me being able to resist.

"Fortunately you survived.." Saying with a clean voice.

"..Yes, I'm fine Dad," I replied hugging him back.

Dad hugged me tightly and didn't try to let me go.

'Ughh. This is a bit of a pain. My body feels crushed..'

"Ah, sorry.."

Then his embrace to me loosened and father let me go. He stood looking at me, then at my mother and..

"Eh? Whose kid is that??"

I was surprised and approached Mom.

Looking at Senka, Dad was curious and Mom smiled gently.

"He is our grandson, Senka," Mother said showing Senka closer, Senka's cheerful face ate her biscuits.

"Oh, Grandson yes... Huh uh?! What???"

I like his reaction.

.........

"Haha! You're already a parent!"

"Ugh.."

Dad ruffled my hair after hearing the story about Senka.

"To think you'd be healed by your son, you're a bit of a burden huh."

"No, I'm just exhausted after fighting so many monsters, that's all.."

"Haha! It's up to you."

Even though it ended differently than I thought. My parents seemed happy and happy with the fact they had grandchildren.

"So, who's her mother?" Dad said seriously.

"..." - ".I just fell silent.

'Gulp.. I don't know myself..' I thought, a little I imagined who but I removed it from my mind.

I was stunned, Mom became curious about Dad's question.

"..."

"Tell me, Ren.."

Ughhhh..

"Good.. I'll tell Mom and Dad.."

"The little girl was named Senka. She was born from an egg I found in the middle of the forest..

That's it, he was born from my blood and mana" I explained. As for the Mana and blood parts, I somewhat doubt it.

Mom and Dad were a little suspicious at first, but they realized that lying at a time like this was free for me.

"Well, if it's like that."

Father gave up and Mother embraced Senka comfortably. They had already received Senka quickly. I smiled happily knowing.

"We eat first, Ren take food on the shelf," Mother said while pampering Senka.

I nodded from Mom's orders and brought food from the kitchen to the dining room.

After I brought food, Senka fell asleep in Mom's arms. I looked tired after a long time.

I smiled and put down the food plate, Mom and Dad asked me to take him to the room.

Then, as I was holding the sleeping Senka, I placed it into my shadow.

Gently, Senka sank into the shadows and disappeared just like that.

"..."

"..Son."

Both of them seemed surprised by what happened, but I explained about Senka's unique race and ability that made them understand and did not raise the topic further.

After that we ate together.

.........

In the bedroom.

After the meal with the family ended.

Mom and Dad asked me to rest in the room, so this is where I am.

Given the events of a week ago, I am not strong enough to fight the Demon let alone my strength is too weak to deal with it.

In fact, now I am restless and afraid that I will have to fight them again.

Their levels could not compare to my new Level 16.

It was not something I could just change, but from that incident I realized how slow and weak my power and magic was.

The Demon was faster, stronger and more agile than I thought. This is what nearly killed me when I fought him, if only I hadn't been helped by Senka.

Maybe, I'm dead.

"Gulps.."

My magic and sword techniques are indeed powerful and no one can match them at this age of mine.

However, my sword technique and Telekinesis skill did not help much in fighting the Demon. As if it was very difficult for me to defeat him.

To the extent that I could not properly use Telekinesis and the Elite Swordsmanship Technique alone could not help me get stronger quickly.

I need a convincing process.

I'm sure I should have practiced more and not made myself slower than I am now.

I have to be strong, so that I can protect the people I love with confidence.

I need the courage and determination to do it.

"alright. I will definitely become stronger!" Convince me.

Sword training, magic and telekinesis! I can't wait!

.........

In Front of the House.

I meant it, but today..

"..."

A stiff smile formed on my face.

"Hello."

I have a guest.
