「…… Leave it to me. That child is my friend after all.」
My promise was not just because of Chester’s request, but also my desire to watch over and protect the fate of this child.
「It goes without saying. One who boards a boat, does not get off half-way.」
「Slava …. !」
Maa for such a request to come from our unsavory relationship. At any rate, it’s not like I wanted to decline.
Beyond that weakly distorted annoying mustache, I spied a half-smile.
It’s quite unbelievable that even in my second life I can’t cut ties with the Prime family.
This truly is quite the unsavory relationship I have with this guy.
「Fix that compassionless side of yours. If Cheryl saw such a sight, I would lose dignity as a grandfather.」
「….. Aa, is that so. I too want with steady steps, to become a cool old man.」 (??)
Raising his eyebrows, Chester’s expression distorted into a smile.
It’s more or less a grin but, I wish he would make up his mind. (TLN: dk how to phrase this, basically his smile is a half smile/not too sure whether its a smile, and mc wants to express that he should decide if he wants to smile or not).
「Thank you, Slava」
To elves it may be short but, the empty 20 years that passed, plus this life’s 12 years come to around 30 years.
I wondered how much the world would change but, it seems that even for an old friend whom I had never imagined would change, 15 years is sufficient time for change.
A head curved like a diamond, a great (magnificent) girl – looking at the quietly sleeping young girl on my lap, my cheeks slackened.
….. A grandchild, huh? If there is a chance, I would like to have one too. (ED: shippp)
But it’s unlikely that I’ll ever become a teacher like him.
Pondering such thoughts without a basis, I enjoyed this quiet and peaceful time. (ED: I didn’t sign up for vanilla.)
