Village to Town

"YES, SON, I'M BACK."

With the same enthusiasm as the kid, Nom shouted back.

"Ha ha ha." The child's pearly laughter rang out as he dashed to Nom's side.

The bigger child who was following slowed down upon realising that the smaller kid's father was present.

Reaching Nom's side, the small kid curiously looked around. His eyes sparkled and occasionally focused on Aru.

The kid wanted to know who this unfamiliar big brother was.

At that moment, Aru began to speak.

"You made it?" he asked Nom directly, pointing at the small kid who was looking at him.

"He has a name. Bom." Nom patted his son's head.

"That's quite an explosive name…" 'If it had one more 'b' at the end.' Aru didn't say the second half of the sentence.

Nom smiled, understanding why Aru found the name explosive. After all, the concept of bombs also existed in this world.

He smiled awkwardly and said, "I know, right."
