I Want to Go to That Forest
I said yes, but still… the one who reincarnated me was the Goddess of Ikaruda. She told me I could use magic, too. But she never said how much magic I could use, or what kind.
I was remembering the Goddess of Ikaruda from when I reincarnated.
She was unbelievably beautiful.
But then I remembered that face of hers, bawling her eyes out with snot running down her nose, and thought, “Nope… not happening.”
And then I remembered the goddess’s tiny chest and thought, “Yeah, definitely not happening…”
“Kaito, what’s that face! It hasn’t been decided that you can’t use magic yet. It’s too early to give up just because you think it’s hopeless!”
Ah. Papa’s misunderstanding. Eh, whatever.
“Okay, Papa, thank youuu.”
Papa grinned like a goof, and I dove into his chest.
He hugged me tight.
“Um, so, I have one more wish.”
“What is it? Let’s hear it.”
“I wanna see the ingredien’s fo the food.
I wanna eat yummy food~ before that, I wanna see what kinda vegetables an’ meat there are. Pwease!”
I clasped both hands in front of me in a begging pose.
“Th-this son of mine is too adorable!”
Papa was clutching his chest, struck down by my cuteness.
And Mama and everyone else over there, too!
“Very well. I permit it.”
“Marle, go tell Gordon that he has my authorization.”
“Thank you very much, Papa.”
“Um, I also wanna go see the town. Pwease.”
“Hm, the town… It might still be too soon for the town.”
“Eh? I can’t?” My eyes grew teary without meaning to.
“Not yet! Be patient a little longer. I will choose your guards, so wait until you are four years old, Kaito.”
Ehhhhhhhhhh?!
That’s still half a year away! Chiiiin!
“Sebas, we must select guards for Kaito. Inform Captain Luke.”
Huh? Huh? Captain? Whoa, a captain!
Not, like, a cheer squad captain, right?
“Kaito, do not misunderstand. Not a cheer captain.”
Oi. Hey. We’re father and son and we’re saying basically the same thing. That’s hilarious.
“I am Kaito’s cheer captain. I will yield that title to no one. Hmph.”
Papa, you’re so cool!
“I know! He’s an important person who catches bad guys and beats them up, right?”
“That’s correct.
Sebas, prepare someone who will absolutely protect Kaito.”
“Understood, Master.”
Huh? Sebas is already gone?
Since when??
“Then… can’t I go to the forest right next to the garden?”
Behind my mansion there was a small forest.
Small enough that calling it a forest might be generous.
They said the town had all kinds of people, so it needed more guards.
“Ah, that forest? It’s within our estate grounds. The only monsters that appear there are weaklings, nothing serious. A small escort would suffice. Yes… with Marle there, there will be no problem.”
Wait, with Marle there? Is Marle strong? No wayyy.
“Really? Yayyy! Thank you, Papa!”
