Chapter 59: The Commander's Son Goes to See His Grandfather

"Oh, you're here. You look fine, Arth."

"Long time no see. Grandfather."

Today, for some reason, I was visiting my grandfather in the territory. I went all the way because I had something to do, but my grandfather nodded when he saw my face.

"I see. I heard from Vector that you've changed, but it's more than I expected."

"It's great that my grandfather hasn't changed."

He hasn't changed even one millimeter from the old man with the long white beard that I remembers, so he said while touching his beard.

"The old man doesn't change so easily. And now that I think about it Arth. I heard that you'll be graduating from school soon and joining the Knights, is that true?"

"It's still early, but it will happen in the next few months."

It's been about half a year since I was reincarnated, but it's already becoming that kind of season. It can't be helped that you'll forget the time when you're flirting with Alice. Recently, Alice has been coming to my house more and more, and I too have crushed the flags of otome games, and I've been almost caught up in the conspiracy of "Prometheus", and also the schemes of a mysterious evil organization that wants the end of the world. I am spending busy days crushing.

Since I was reincarnated, I've been spending my days as busy as the protagonist of a light novel, but I want to put all my effort into flirting with Alice, so I really want to refrain from such developments. Well, even though I had such real intentions, for some reason I got closer to the truth of the world in various ways in the process, but that's a different story. I approached the mystery of reincarnation in another world, but I don't care about that because I believe that my encounter with Alice was destiny. Above all, nobody would be interested in the truth of such a world.

"That's it, Arth. I called you today because I have something to ask you."

"What'll do I need to do?"

"Arth, do you like your children?"

"It's normal, not necessarily love or like"

I can't grasp the intention of the question and answer safely, but I don't dislike children themselves. The most important is probably Alice and my child. Or rather, I want to have a definite relationship with Alice, but I also have a strong desire to see a mother version Alice. Well, but pregnancy and childbirth put a lot of strain on the mother's body, so I don't want to force it. If I can't be present at the time of childbirth, I'm worried about destroying this country. My grandfather smiled at my answer.

"Then can you do me a favor?"

"It depends on the content"

"Hoho, hey, it's not a big deal. I'd like to ask you to be a teacher for the children."

"Do I have the right to refuse?"

I heard that without thinking. When I said that to the premonition that it was going to be a troublesome development again, my grandfather showed a slightly surprised expression and then said with a smile.

"May I ask why you refused?"

"Because I don't want to spend less time with my fiancé."

"Fiancé… Speaking of which, you got engaged to the daughter of Duke Misty.

Grandfather said after nodding as if he was convinced.

"Actually, they are child who can use magic just like you, but if possible, I'd like you to teach then how to use their powers."

"Why me?"

"Hey. The current master is stronger than me or Vector. That's why I want to ask you."

"The two of you are not enemies yet."

"Don't be humble. You probably saw a different world?"

I was surprised by those words he said because it include reincarnation. Grandfather laughed and said that he was surprised to read something so close.

"Hey, that's fine now. I can only ask you more than that... will you accept the old man's request?"

After thinking about those words for a while, I said with a sigh.

"I won't do it outside of the stipulated time."

"That's fine. Also, I have something to give to you today."

While saying that, Grandfather grabbed a sword displayed on a nearby shelf and handed it over to me.

"That sword's name is 'Zero.' It's a treasure of my clan that has the power to nullify all kinds of magic."

"Why would you give that to me?"

"Hey, I heard that my cute grandchild is having a hard time here and there lately. It's because I wanted to be of some help. Besides, this sword doesn't go well with Vector."

Compatibility? When I tilted my head, my grandfather explained.

"The sword shows power according to the owner's feelings. A straighter thought becomes power."

"Are you saying it's not compatible with my father's thinking?"

"For better or for worse, he's clumsy."

When I pulled my sword out of its scabbard after being told that, I certainly felt a strange pressure. Eventually it will become familiar and the sword will become lighter. I shakes it several times, but it doesn't feel heavy at all, and it certainly feels like it's full of power. Seeing that, my grandfather nodded and said.

"It seems to be responding to your feelings. Take that sword with you, Arth."

I don't know... how do you feel about Alice? Even so, I want to sigh when I get my hands on a strange weapon. Well, I put the sword away in its scabbard while thinking that it would be better to have it.
