It looks like I'll have to start teaching Lara from a young age.
She will be the only child that will be learning about my secret arts directly from me.
"Wanwan, wanwanwan! (Well then according to the tradition, before she would reach adulthood, if the Savior would die, what would happen!?)"
"...According to the legend, if the savior dies, the sacred tree will wither, and Holy Beast-sama will die in that weakened state."
"Grrrrrrrrrr!(And our savior is being targeted! You, did you want to kill me!?"
"...No, I never meant it that way "
"Wafu! (In that case, I think there isn’t any problems anymore regarding this!)"
Somehow Gyes is showing a bitter face.
Then, as if he was repeating some mourning prayer saying [norinori], he glared at Rinia who was translating.
Instantly, Rinia curled up and hid herself behind me.
Don't be like that, I asked you to translate for me, don't give me some funny translation.
I’m prepared to face the punishment for my crime, I’m the only one who should receive it.
And then, Gyes spoke.
"Rinia, is what Holy Beast-sama saying true?"
"Nye, Nyes. It’s true that Holy Beast-sama towards Bo... towards Rudeus' second daughter, is very concerned about her and always protecting her."
For Rinia to use [Keigo], how rare.
This delinquent daughter left in Sharia must be very scared of her father.
"A daughter of the Human race... It's only been 20 years since Holy Beast-sama was born. I thought there were 80 more years to go, but..."
"The daughter is half human and half Magic race, therefore I think that she will live for quite a long time nya."
"So that’s it, I see, if she has a Magic race lineage the possibility for that is quite high..."
After hearing that fact, Gyes clapped his hands together.
It looks like he's become quite a thoughtful person in these past 10 years.
The Gyes from 10 years ago gave me the impression of a reckless youngster who never used his head.
But he seems to have matured and calmed down now.
I wonder if this is a characteristic of the Beast race, that after becoming 30 their manners becomes calmer.
Then the two youngsters behind Gyes suddenly started shouting.
"For a Magic race to be the Savior is impossible Nya!"
"He said that Holy Beast-sama was summoned using magic, then he must be being deceived by some strange magic!"
Terusena and Minitona, somehow they ended up like the old Gyes.
It’s really funny, when I remember how they were in the old days, giving me their gratitude for saving them... Is this also a characteristic of the Beast race?
Those two girls aside...
Certainly, it’s a fact that I summoned Leo by using the magic circle formation that was created by Orsted.
In that magic circle, it looked like there was some kind of element that made the summoned creature completely obedient...
Because of that magic, Leo could have been put under the impression that my daughter is the savior...
"Though it’s low, there is also that possibility. Supposing that is the case, Rudeus-dono would not have come to our village. In any case, the fact that Rudeus-dono came here before us, and how he came to our residence in the Great Forest from the other side of the world to explain this matter... I suppose we should overlook this case."
"Is, is that so."
Honestly.
...I'm sorry, to think that they would understand my situation and overlook this case.
Please forgive me.
"About this Holy Beast-sama matter, as for now I think it’s okay "
"Really?"
"If Holy Beast-sama is the one to decree it, we will obey."
"Wafu!"
Putting his head on my lap Leo was facing me with an expression that said [That’s only natural.]
I pat him in reflex, and from his face he seems to like it.
Terusena and Minitona making a [What's with that?!] kind of face, they don't understand.
Even so, if Holy Beast-sama said [Okay], then it’s okay.
Or something like that was said by him, according to Rinia's translation.
She resembles Ghyslaine quite a bit.
"However, Rudeus-dono. That's for the time being... Isn't it? Then, about 15 years later, when your second daughter reaches adulthood, please bring her here. Following our tradition, she must complete the ritual in the sacred tree. I understand that the trip will take a year, but please let us do our duty."
"I understand"
So it’s a ritual.
I don’t know what kind of ceremony it is, but I guess it is something for formality.
Let’s not forget about this promise.
15 years from now, let’s return to the Dorudia village with Lara for her coming-of-age ceremony.
...In order for me to not forget this future appointment, let’s write this in the diary.
