Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer-Chapter 360 His Diary

"His diary...?"

"Hmmm~."

I knew about this book, this one diary that mom talked about on rare nights. 𝘧𝒓e𝑒𝑤e𝙗𝚗o𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝐜𝐨ｍ

She told me stories of how dad writes this special diary from even before the time she met him and he wrote this special diary till I was born.

I can tell this one red book, this leather cover that looks practically ancient but, at the same time, well preserved.

I can tell from the look, the smell, this feeling when I touch this diary, and this special kind of connection I could feel with it.

It is also a dungeon artifact that he found a long, long time ago... from maybe his early childhood days when he hadn't even met Rein's grandma.

He wrote his life in this one, from his point of view. From the first thing he could remember from his childhood, the destruction of his family and village, his darkness, to the process where he found his light.

This old red book was his one friend, partner, and his only place of salvation until he met mom.

This book is his life... and he gave me his life...

"Haaa... he's the best."

From the time I was still a child, or I should say from the time I was just a newborn, he had taken care of me more than mom.

He looked after me, and all my needs. He played with me and taught me things that weren't something you would teach a five-year-old child.

He is my first friend. The best friend of my life... and I love him more than I love this new life I have gained.

'Dad... only you call yourself incompetent. For me, you have always been the best. Always...'

A smile spread out on my face, and I took out the red book and skimmed through some pages.

'Yes... it's him.'

This diary had close to infinite pages, it was an artifact after all... but it looked just a normal book from the outside and it contained the words and handwriting of a young boy, an adult boy, a hunter, pages written with actual blood, pages written with some different materials, and pages written by the adult man who was going to become a father.

He recorded most of his life in this book and... what greater gift can there be if not this for a son like me?

I can easily call it something closest to Anna's gift and this one was even more special, and I knew Rein could tell it just from my expression.

It was a wonderful gift, and it was mine, so… she couldn't read the things in this one.

Maybe I will tell her some things myself or we would read some pretty things when we would be alone, but aside from that, I wanted to keep this book, this incredible piece of his life that he entrusted to me to myself.

He didn't have any need for the past anymore and nothing to do with it, but... this was still the very epic of one of the greatest characters in this world.

This was my gift from my father and friend...

"Thanks, dad..."

It actually meant a lot when you give someone even a part of your life, but giving your whole past to someone meant even greater things.

I sighed one last time and safely stored the book in my white storage space.

"Your mom's last. What can be more special than this book? What do you think will it be?"

"Well... now even I'm doubtful."

It could be anything at this point, but what I know for sure is... it won't be something with a sentimental value like this one.

If I had to say then I would say that dad's gift was something that could never be compared to anything. Definitely not any kind of money or materialistic thing.

It was similar to Anna's gift that I want to just preserve and use forever.

But mom's gift would definitely be something very different from these two things.

She was my mom. My dearest, greatest, lovely mom.

She was also some of the richest individuals on the entire continent.

She was that one person that can give me something invaluable and unreal and I would believe that it is not a dream and she actually just gave me that as a present.

Her gift could be anything from a divine artifact to maybe even an ancient artifact or ancient tomes or data on different dungeons, tombs, and labyrinths.

It would be just that amazing and I would just sigh at whatever it is.

Well, I was definitely looking forward to seeing her gift, so just smiling bitterly at my dear friend, which told her I was also clueless about her gift, I opened the last letter of the day.

It was her handwriting, as we thought, and it wasn't that short either.

[ Congratulations baby~! You reached the end of this special birthday treasure hunt~!

You have seen everyone's gifts and it must have been a great experience, right~?

I know you have already received more than anything we could give from your master, but I know you wouldn't have expected the gifts you received or at the very least, you must have liked all the things you received~.

Everyone gave you gifts with all their hearts, and everything you received until now must have been invaluable from anyone's perspective.

Some have a special meaning, some are things you can use, some are things that will be useful to you in the future, and some things that couldn't be measured in value.

They definitely are wonderful gifts, especially your dad and Theo's.

I didn't think those two would give you some of the most cherished things as a gift.

Those things are special and I know you know just how valuable those things are. So please cherish and use them when you need them. They are yours now, after all.

Same with the gift I have prepared for you.

I know you remember how you asked for a bow on your fifth birthday and how you made something for me for the first time on that day~.

The taste of those things is still fresh in my mind and that is a memory… I could never forget.

You asked me for a bow even though you were interested in magic.

You loved magic like no other person I had seen. And you were still a child at that time.

I didn't know then, but when I realized you were thinking of becoming a magic archer, I was even more proud of my little boy~!

You know just how difficult it would be, but you still chose a difficult path and now, you actually have become a better magic archer than many others I have seen.

You know about magic more than most of us. You have been trained perfectly by your master in the physical aspect too…

My little baby has become big and strong, he has already found a partner too... this mom is very happy~!

I wanted to reward my cute little baby to keep his promise and for many more so… I thought deeply about what to give you as your first birthday gift after you got back to me.

I don't know if even the entire wealth of this world would be enough to express my love... no; I know it won't even be one percent of how much I adore my darling baby.

I thought about many things, from high-grade artifacts to magic tomes.

But then again, you can get those things whenever you want if you just visit our auction house.

I also thought about giving you a dungeon... but you're too young to own something like that just yet, so I promise I will gift you one when you become an adult~!

There were a few divine artifact bows I was thinking about, but then again, the fact that you can give Carla that amazing artifact speaks the weight of your wealth and resources.

I don't know what or who little Zoe's mom was, but if you tell me she was a dragon and you have treasures from a dragon layer, I would actually believe you~.

But that's unrealistic, so… that aside, I know you might already have some good bows that can't be compared to those lowly divine artifacts.

Your favorite arrow Asta too. Even dad says that one is better than his own hammer or uncle's scythe.

It was complicated as to just what to give my best baby who will become the best magic archer in the entire known and unknown history~!

I was already searching for the best bows in the world, but you already had something better than some of the best artifacts in entire history. So… things became even more difficult.

I didn't think I would find something that can be called 'best' at first, but then... I unexpectedly found something that was totally unexpected, something beyond my expectations, something... mystical.

It isn't a bow or an arrow, but I believe it will be useful to you in making a bow that is the best for you.

If you can find someone who can process that thing, that is...

It is one of the best materials in this world, the closest and most direct part of nature, something that will develop according to your life.

Its power will depend on your will, knowledge about the truths, grasp on energy, and creator's mastery to handle the material.

I know if it's you, you will find someone above anyone in terms of creating a special personal weapon or magic bow.

That thing is something invaluable in itself, and maybe you have almost guessed what it is so...

Happy birthday baby~! Go to my personal room. You will find that fascinating thing there~! ]

This one was definitely long, but the things written in this letter were even more unbelievable.

I knew she was more than strong and crazy enough to gift me something like a divine or ancient artifact and still not call it enough.

It was absurd, but I would still somewhat believe it if she actually gave me a whole dungeon.

That much was believable, but... what she just wrote here pointed toward only one thing I can think about.

Something that I had only seen in books, something that was very famous in fantasy stories, and something that held greater value than those artifacts or ancient knowledge in books.

I was doubtful, Rein was confused about what the hell did she mean, and there was no fucking way it was something I was thinking about.

We were talking about one of the most important parts of the world here, something from a being like that, something that was used to make weapons like Ronna.

If it was actually what I was thinking, it was... I had severely underestimated my mom's abilities.

This would be the most shocking gift of today and one of the most absurd gifts I had ever received in my life.

I was excited and my heart was running wild at the excitement of the expectations... and she could tell this from just a glance.

This was one of the rarest times I was this excited and she could tell whatever this special gift from my mom was... it was absurd and amazing!

We didn't waste much time and just rushed inside and to directly my mom's office... only to realize that mom's private space was something we had never visited.

What's more, it was a place with even more security than Anna's room or this whole house.

This was the main room that mom used for her work so it was expectable that there would be some security measures but...

I only realized after standing in mom's room and looking around the countless security artifacts hidden in every corner of the messy room that... this was not going to be easy.
