The Great Adventure In World Of Sword And Magic.
Chapter 14 - [ Guest I Know]

...CHAPTER 14 - GUESTS I KNOW...

...◇◇◇...

The next day, I prepared to go herding and practice my sword techniques and magic in the meadow.

However, I had a guest, as I approached the door of the house.

"Hello."

At the doorstep, there was a young girl who looked to be about the same age as Lia.

Having a pretty face and bright blue hair with a flower-shaped blue ribbon on the right of her hair, her toska green eyes looked at me gently.

Casual clothes are bright blue and white and lace at the end of her skirt. Appearance is charming and looks beautiful.

The girl smiled sweetly as she greeted us.

There I found my mother who opened the door for him. I greeted him with a happy face.

"Ara, is there a sweet girl?"

"Hello, Auntie. I'm a new neighbor. My name is Crystal Flam" he said politely.

That girl's..

I know him, he came today..

"Fufu, Aunt Rima Maulana and this kid, Ren Maulana" said Mother pulling me behind her.

"Hello.." Say hello.

I smiled stiffly as I greeted him and Crystal smiled back at me.

Actually, Crystal is a familiar figure to me. But looking at it again, it made me remember bad memories.

Then he introduced himself. That, she lived with her father in the house next door to ours.

But his father is now at work so he's been gone since morning and because Crystal had a chance to say hello to his neighbor, which is us.

He also came to visit.

Be polite and well-mannered while talking and have the courage to greet his new neighbors. Here's his personality.

"Crystal, if you're not busy, come in. Auntie's gonna give you good food."

"Ah, don't bother. I just say hello and give you this.."

She gave me some delicious-looking snack food. Mother accepted him gladly of his sincerity and asked him to enter the house once more.

"Let's go in, Crystal," said Mother.

"Well, Bi," Reply Crystal nodded and smiled.

Crystal accepts Mom's invitation and enters the house.

"I'm in" he said, taking off his neck.

"No need to be stiff, sit here."

"Good.."

Crystal passed me and smiled. Then, follow Mom where she was asked.

So, because I have no business anymore. I also plan to leave.

"Ren, wait with Crystal for a second."

"Eh? But ma'am.."

"Quick."

A sharp look was directed at me.

"Uh, Fine.."

Inevitably I accompanied Crystal, Mother went to the kitchen to make something to eat together.

Even though I was planning to go back early in the morning. It's just, it's kind of awkward to suddenly be like this.

"..."

"..."

Crystal just smiled and waited, compared to me who didn't know what topic to talk to.

He seemed patient waiting for Mom to return.

'Papa?'

'Senka, Papa will give you food. So wait in the shadows quietly, ok?'

'OK, Myu!"

'Phoof.. So what am I supposed to do?'

I glanced at Crystal, it seemed that she was also looking at me.

"Um, Ren-kun," he said softly.

"Ah, i-yes. What's up, Crystal?" I said nervously.

"You can call me Flam if you want."

I looked at him, his face slightly red as I said so. I guess I should say it.

"Good.. Flam."

"Yes." Yeah."

He smiled happily when he heard me say it.

"...Um, Ren-kun's. How many brothers are you?"

"Brother? I'm an only child."

"Oh, I-I.. I'm also an only child," he said with a gentle smile.

"Ah.. We are the same, yes.. Haha.."

"Nn, yes."

Then he started giving me various topics in his conversation.

"So I.."

The topics are interesting, I feel nostalgic talking to him.

He smiled kindly and sometimes laughed a little while talking.

I'm fascinated by it, she looks beautiful if I take a closer look.

"Ren-kun?"

"Ah? What's?"

"You're not listening.."

"No, I heard it."

He pouted, but began to continue what he discussed. All the topics were about his father's work as a traveling merchant and he who was with his father selling many things. Regarding the cities out there, the food was good and many things he revealed.

For a long time he became enthusiastic that made me talk to him. It's delightful.

Although, where's Mom? He's old too..

..It's probable.

I stared into the kitchen, as if Mom had purposely made it. He gave a thumbs up at me.

"..."

"Hehe, it feels good."

"certain."

Flam is very happy to talk to me, which also makes me happy.

.........

"Well.."

"What's up, Ren-kun?"

It's noon, should I be shepherding now?!

"Sorry, Flam. I'm going to work."

"Well-Well.."

Flam looked agitated, but he made a smile at me.

"Mother, I'll be herding now. So I'm going first!"

"Just go."

So I rushed out of the house.

Heading into the animal enclosure not far from home, I got into it.

Today, I shepherd the sheep, for the Cows there is someone else taking care of it.

"Come on, let's all go to the meadow."

They were sheep swiftly heading in the direction they were headed, the grass paradise, the meadow outside the village.

The place is a bit far from the village, but here it is more secure because it is spacious and a bit far from the Bloody forest and Deso Forest.

Then arrived at the meadow with a flock of sheep following. I stopped in my herding area as usual.

Later then..

"Hmm? Lia?"

Seen not far from my place, there was Lia who was sitting on a large rock where she used to sit. then I headed to her place while herding the sheep into the surrounding pasture.

"Tumben are you here?" I said in front of him.

"Muh.. Just the old Ren.." Her words were puffing her cheeks.

"Haha, sorry. Then what's up?"

"Magic. Learning magic," he jumped down, then approached me and pressed down on every sentence.

I laughed dryly. It seems he doesn't want to be every afternoon.

"I still have work.."

"You don't work much and you always practice swords, and magic."

My smile became stiff.

"So, you want to practice your fire magic?"

"Um, yes.."

"Father!"

""?!""

We were shocked.

"Who is this kid?!"

"Ah.. Haha.. "

"Father! Papa! Senka wants cake!"

I gently rubbed his head and took out some cake and gave it to Senka.

"Hehe, yummy!"

"Yosh, yosh, good boy."

"Mh.. Hehe.."

Uahs.. Really cute..

"More!!"

Suddenly my collar was pulled by him and surprised me.

"Uh, huh?"

"Whose son is this?! He called you his Papa!"

Oh, Ah. right too.

"That's how it is, I'm now her father."

"Huh??"

Lia flushed and was shocked, she was shocked to hear me and looked at Senka.

"Your son?"

"Papa, I want to sleep."

Senka disappeared into my shadow.

"..."

"Lia?"

"Don't act stupid! Do you have a child??"

Lia's face was very red.

"Do you have a fever?"

"Don't change the topic!!"

His face looked red similar to a tomato.

"Ah, sorry. Not that I changed the topic, but it's true he's my son."

"Tell me everything!!"

"...Alright."

So I'm telling it with the same little modification that I told Mom and Dad.

"..I see."

"Understand, right?"

"Of course not! You have a child!"

"Why is that what you're trouble with?"

"Beat?!"

I think I made him angry.

"...Never mind. So who's her mother?"

"Huh?"

"His mother! Don't you know?!"

"Yes, don't know. I found an egg and Senka called me Papa. That's all."

"..."

So Lia gave up and looked at me a little flushed. I'm a little worried if it keeps going like this.

"You better rest Lia."

"Mohhhhhhh.."

Lia turned her face away and left me alone.

"..Okay." Okay."

She pouted leaving me alone, until she was nowhere to be seen.

"Give up, I'd better practice the sword."

I pulled out my iron sword and started swinging it.

So for two more hours I just swung my sword and honed my sword technique which I think is a bit dull since a week off, due to coma.

Then I also sometimes practice my magic and telekinesis, when there is an opportunity after training my sword.

"Good, now I can make my sword float," I said controlling my iron sword using the Telekinesis Skill.

"This way I can quickly level up! Alright, I guess I will use my Points once again to improve this skill of mine," I said excitedly.

If this continues, maybe I can reach Level 20 faster than I planned.

"Yoh!"

"Oh, I found you, Ren-kun."

A soft voice sounded behind me.

"Oh? Flam?"

There's that blue ribbon girl again. She came to me lightly, dressed in bright blue clothes with her green white fringed skirt.

He came to greet me.

"Hello, aren't you busy?"

I just looked at him.

"Ren-kun?"

"Ah, Hello, not really."

"Nn, great.."

What does she want?
