「It’s probably because I became old, that it’s become fun recently.
──Maa, whatever. You’ll make a lot of trouble when you go look around the world. Fighting other people is what is fun, is what I think of it.」
Chester looks up at the changing sky, with a bitter face.
I scratched my head with my finger. This man talking this way, it’s hard to give a response.
….Fumu. Fighting others as a hobby, huh.
「Aa, with this precious second life, I will fully enjoy it.」
My friend, the advice from this man who was also my strongest nemesis.
At a more mature age, though it’s just fighting──it’s me that should be worrying about Chester rather than him worrying about me.
….More than 30 years ago, when I was alive. Chester did not have such a hobby.
Since my disappearance, I wonder if he thought about me often.
「──Good idea. Stay with it.」
「Ou, I plan on living a life full of victories.」
Changing his bitter face, Chester put on a lively smile.
It made me tempted to laugh. This man, I can’t seem to hate it being in this place.
But hobbies, huh. I usually don’t think about it, but this is a pretty good opportunity.
Speaking of, shishou had a fishing hobby. ….Thinking about it, my life was just for seeking the truth of the fist.
「You should take Cheryl with you. It’ll surely be an experience that will be fun.」
Seriously. Moreover, Cheryl is now supposed to join me on my journey.
For the girl who has taken the dark road, letting her experience the outside world for a bit.
「….But, is it okay?
Your precious granddaughter, are you sure you want to entrust her to me?」
「Other than you, I wouldn’t entrust her to anyone.
I leave her in your care since it’s you. Got a problem? It’s too late to say that you dislike it.」
Originally, the reason as for why I could go on this trip, it was mainly thanks to Chester’s grace.
There are plenty of ways to earn travel expenses if I want to go for a trip once, but for the initial cost of the trip, Chester provided it.
Although the amount wasn’t large, it was still a sum of money that a child who had just graduated from the Academy would have to struggle some trouble to make. It would take about a month according to my estimations──and the one who quickened this period, was none other than this guy.
Of course I plan on returning it, but Chester says that I don’t need to return such a sum. Instead he attached a condition──it was to allow Cheryl to accompany me on the trip.
「Not saying that I hate it, but do you think Cheryl can tolerate a situation with you, stupid shitty old man?」(TLN: “ジジバカ” = jijibaka)
If it’s a condition like this, I didn’t mind because I originally intended to offer it anyway──never did I expected to hear it from the other party, it made me bewildered.
Anyway, I safely got Cheryl to accompany me on my trip. These circumstances, such things.
Iya, but I still can’t believe it.
Never did I think that I would get such a proposal from this stupid shitty old man.
「Aho, do you think I can tolerate this. I’ll be wetting my pillow with my tears every day.」
Apparently this was a tough decision for Chester.
I didn’t think that my old enemy who had matched me in my previous life, would have an expression full of sorrow.
「….Did I really lose to such a man?」
Unintentionally, I spit out the words in the depths my heart.
These past ten years I was registered at the Academy. Whenever I found time, I fought against him──although I had victories, the result was a losing record. Not being able to win against this senile nemesis, iya I shouldn’t be so unreasonable.
