Volume 7, Chapter 01 - Parent and Child, Part 3-4
Part 3
The home that we use in the Arzel Commonwealth is a magnificent mansion.
That’s where I live, along with Marie and the others.
With only a few weeks left of my study abroad period, it was becoming troublesome to live separately.
As we entered the villa, Yumeria-san noticed and rushed over to us.
“Welcome back, Leon-sa~a!”
I guess she was in a hurry, because she tripped and ended up head-sliding in front of us.
Her face hit the floor and she looked in pain.
“A-are you okay?”
When I called out Yumeria-san in concern, her face was red and swollen, and her eyes were filled with tears.
“I-I am okhi~yu”
The cute Yumeria-san, who chewed on the end of her words, is a female elf with a small figure and big breasts.
She looks young and looks like us, but she is a mother of one child.
Her long, straight, green hair showed off her long ears, a characteristic of elves. Her calm and gentle eyes were yellow, and a birdbrain and refreshing beautiful girl. No, she’s a beautiful woman.
“There’s no need to panic.”
I said gently, and Yumeria-san thanked me. However, next to me, Marie showed a dissatisfied attitude, saying, “Keh! You’re so spoony* at her”. (Note: デレデレderedere)
Is it bad to be spoony?
While I was making noise at the door, another maid, a beautiful woman with tight glasses who had been sent from Ange’s parents’ house, arrived.
It’s Cordelia-san.
“Welcome back, Count”
“――I’m back”
However, unlike Yumeria-san, this one was really a business relationship.
Cordelia-san doesn’t think well of me, and her attitude is cold.
Marie came back from outside and took off her coat, moving her head to check her surroundings.
“Are, where’s Kyle?”
She was a little concerned because the beautiful half-elf boy who usually greeted her was not there.
Yumeria-san replies while holding the tip of her nose with both hands.
“I think he’s in the back warehouse.”
.
Part 4
In the warehouse behind the mansion, a single armor was propped up on one knee.
Armor――A humanoid weapon that flies in the sky, which is also a powered suit.
The armors that had been brought into the mansion was the one that Julius and others had used before.
Arroganz are also included in it.
Since arriving in the Alzer Commonwealth, Leon had been involved in many battles ― or rather, had caused battles ― and had brought armor into the house for defense.
This is proof that they are concerned about the current situation.
But there is a boy standing in front of such armor.
It’s a half-elf, Kyle.
His short blond hair is habitual, and he has the same elongated ears as her mother, Yumeria.
He was a beautiful boy in appearance and had all the features of an elf.
However, Kyle is half elf and half human.
Although he is still young, he is still employed by Marie because he has no place to stay in his hometown due to his position as a half-elf. f𝘳𝚎𝐞we𝐛𝑛𝐨𝘃e𝘭.co𝘮
Kyle put his hand in front of Arroganz, who was down on one knee, trying to climb up.
Then Luxion’s voice comes from the open warehouse door.
[It’s useless]
“Uwaa!”
Kyle turned around in a panic and broke out in a cold sweat, surprised to see Luxion behind him. He felt as awkward as a child who has been caught misbehaving.
“I-I didn’t do anything!”
[That’s a lie. You were trying to get into the Arroganz.]
As Luxion sees through Kyle’s spur-of-the-moment lie, Leon, Marie, his mother, Yumeria, and Cordelia come up behind him.
Leon looked at Kyle and laughed.
“What is this, you’re a boy, aren’t you? Do you want to ride the Arroganz?”
From the grinning Leon, he could see his intention to tease Kyle.
And Marie has a look of incomprehension on her face.
“Men are so stupid. What’s so fun about riding a robot?”
Kyle straightened his posture, a little flustered when his master, Marie, appeared.
“Welcome back, goshujin-sama.“
“I’m back. But if you want a ride, you’ll have to tell Ani―Leon.”
Marie doesn’t seem to blame Kyle for his actions.
The same is true for Leon, who teases Kyle.
“You have a good eye for wanting to ride Arroganz. Shall I give you a ride?”
He would give him a ride if he asked, but Kyle couldn’t honestly ask for one.
“I-I don’t want to ride.”
However, there was one person who would not tolerate Kyle’s attitude ―― Cordelia, who had a grim expression on her face.
“For knights and noblemen, armor is an important tool of war. It is not acceptable for a servant to touch such a thing without reason. I hope you are prepared for this?”
Preparedness ―― Kyle had no such thing.
Kyle was smart enough to calculate that Leon and Marie would not be angry at him for touching his armor.
In fact, Leon didn’t look angry at all, he was laughing.
“I wouldn’t back down because of that. Wouldn’t it make him feel better if I gave Kyle a ride? Luxion, open the cockpit.”
Cordelia closed her mouth, dissatisfied with Leon’s forgiveness.
She decided that she couldn’t interfere anymore.
Kyle was happy to hear Leon’s words, but he didn’t show it on his face. He didn’t like it because it made him feel like he was losing ―― Kyle is twisted, so he’s going to say something hateful.
“I’m not asking for a ride.”
Maybe Marie sensed Kyle’s feelings and asked Leon to “give him a ride”.
But――it was Luxion who waited here.
[Denied]
“――Eh?”
When Luxion strongly refused, Kyle regretted that he had lost his chance. But he tries not to let his feelings show on his face.
“W-Why?”
When he shakily asked him why, Luxion coldly told me.
[Elves can’t move armor. In the first place, the way they manipulate their magic is very different from humans. Arroganz, and the armor here, are for humans.]
The elves assure him that they cannot move him, but Kyle finds one hope.
“――I’m half”
[It’s the same. No, it will be more troublesome. The flow of magic power is different between humans and elves, so even if you have armor for elves, it is unlikely that you can move them.] 𝑓𝐫𝑒e𝒘𝚎𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝐞𝑙.co𝑚
Kyle is a boy, too. He wanted to ride in the armor and fight.
It makes him sad when it is crushed by Luxion.
When he looked down and shed tears, Leon rushed to Luxion.
“You have a way to say it, right!”
[Arroganz is a master’s exclusive machine. Please don’t take others on board so easily.]
On the contrary, Leon was scolded by Luxion.
Cordelia also blurted out, “The sphere is correct.”
Kyle is depressed, and a worried Yumeria approaches him.
“Kyle, let’s apologize properly. Leon-sama was kind enough to forgive you, but if it had been any other nobleman, he would have killed you.”
Yumeria, who is always clumsy, was unusually righteous.
Reminded by the unreliable Yumeria―Kyle turns away with embarrassment.
“Isn’t Kaa-san who’s always making mistakes?”
“Kyle?”
“Don’t lecture me when you can’t even take care of yourself!”
When Kyle raises his voice, Yumeria――just like that gives him a stern look.
“Kyle, this is not about me now. You need to apologize. Besides, didn’t you really think that they would forgive you? I usually tell both of them to not soft on you, but I think that attitude is bad.”
When Yumeria scolded Kyle, both Leon and Marie kept their mouths shut and watched what was going on.
To Cordelia, it must have looked like Kyle was being a spoiled brat.
She closed her mouth and watched silently, but her eyes were somewhat cold.
However, Kyle’s embarrassment and pride in his work prevented him from taking Yumeria’s words obediently.
“You’ll have to wait until you’re better at your job than I am. And can you please not bring the parent-child relationship into the workplace? It’s annoying. “
“Kyle!”
When Yumeria shouted and grabbed his arm, Kyle shook her hand away.
“Don’t scold me like a mother now! You can’t do anything without me!”
“Tsu!”
Kyle knew Yumeria’s weaknesses.
It was a guilt that she had given Kyle a hard time because she was unreliable.
Kyle was smart enough to understand that.
He says to Yumeria, who turns over in silence, in a superior way.
“Do something motherly before you lecture me. I don’t recognize you as a mother right now.”
I don’t recognize you as a mother ―― At these words, Yumeria’s face grew desperate.
The look on her face made his ache with guilt, but Kyle wasn’t mature enough to apologize.
” ―― I’m going back to work “
That’s all he said, and then he ran out of the warehouse as if to escape.
