Tour (2)
If someone asks what is the most precious thing right now.
Without hesitation, I will answer out loud, Rize.
I didn’t know that my first daughter would be so precious, and I didn’t know that the feelings that had been blunted by a long life would be revived in this way.
That’s why I… … Still, he was not prepared to put Rize in danger at all.
“Absolutely not.”
I firmly said, holding Rize on my lap as if I would never give it up.
No, thinking about it again, that was nonsense.
“It’s not another guy, it’s Arandura. Even an A-rank would be too much for you, so you mean taking a child to a place like that?”
If it was another monster with a similar level of danger, there was room for a bit of thought.
However, because the number of Arandura was rare, there was little known information about it, and I couldn’t fully understand it either.
The reason why there was nothing to be gained by catching Arandura also played a role. There are so many things to take care of elsewhere, but it was a waste of time to go there.
He knew how to respond, but when he thought that Rize was nearby, of course he couldn’t help but feel anxious.
“Even if it’s that spider, it’s no big deal if you and I are together. And isn’t this a chance to show your daughter the cool side of a dad?”
“I miss you so much!”
“… … It’s not possible.”
Behaving meanly.
I didn’t know that I would touch a weakness that I had no choice but to sympathize with because I was in a similar position.
It was a little rough, but that’s it.
No, more than a little.
I couldn’t help but nod my head.
“That’s it, can’t you decide while preparing?”
“Be careful what you say. It’s about my daughter’s safety, what if I put it off?”
Growling and glaring at him, Cornwell broke into a cold sweat and averted his gaze. Why are you saying that there is something more important than Rize? Won.
After clearing away the uninvited guest, I turned my head again and Douglas spoke again with a smile on his face.
“Now I am speaking as Rize’s swordsmanship teacher. You know that just swinging a sword doesn’t make you stronger. Just looking at it will help a lot.”
“Still, it’s still dangerous, isn’t it? Would it have been the case even if it wasn’t Rize, but the senior’s daughter?”
“I’ve been taking him since he was eight years old.”
“… … .”
Oh yes, it was.
I had forgotten that Douglas and Scarlett were people like this.
I had a good reason for refusing, but Douglas continued to try to convince me that this opportunity could not be missed.
“Hey Irvin, do you think I would put my pupil in danger? Rize’s safety is guaranteed. Irina, I’ll take that girl too.”
“Still, it’s all risky. As you know, you don’t know what will happen at the original site. Because of that, I’m worried that my daughter’s face will get hurt. You will understand, too.”
“Getting hurt at that age is a daily occurrence. If you’re worried about scars, can you introduce me to a good priest?”
I was going to be crazy about the connection between Douglas, who didn’t want to listen to me at all, and Rize, who didn’t say anything, but pressed me with sparkling eyes.
Are you choosing words that you can definitely say no to?
“Hmm, Irvine.”
Douglas erased his smile and asked earnestly, stroking his beard lightly with his hand.
“Why are you so anxious?”
I was speechless for a moment.
I used to realize
That my affection for Rize is not normal.
It was a precious and only treasure that I met at the end of life that was dull and worn out.
To the point where I decided to spend everything in my life for Rize.
That’s why, in case Rize goes wrong, no, maybe she loses it… … It was so frightening.
In particular, this incident was, at least, not in my memory.
Originally, it was normal for Master to leave silently when a request came in and leave for a few days, and unless it was a special occasion, he did not bother to talk about it.
If you think about it well, this is also just a normal thing.
I couldn’t easily shake off the anxiety that it might be an abnormal situation caused by a variable.
If Rize was involved, I had to be even more wary of things I didn’t know.
“As a father with a daughter, I understand your feelings. but… … Children will one day leave my arms and fly freely. The days when he was small are clear, but he will grow up quickly before he knows it.”
I know what you mean.
In the end, Rize could one day fight monsters, fight people, and fight countless times.
At that time, I couldn’t step in instead, and I didn’t even know if I couldn’t even watch it.
Moreover, since I was the one who repeated countless lives, don’t I feel something desperately?
What matters most is experience.
So, I couldn’t stay with such a weak mindset forever.
“dad.”
At that moment, Rize, who had been quietly listening, quietly called out to me.
Turning her head, Rize smiled and said calmly.
“If Dad says no, I don’t have to go. I will wait patiently.”
After the trip to Jedoro Garden.
Rize sometimes showed herself as if she was suppressing herself somewhere like this. No, it wasn’t just a bad story, but it seemed like he had learned to be more restrained.
But if it’s because of my stubbornness after all… … I could never leave it as is.
“Come with me.”
“really?”
Seeing Rize, who was afraid to talk and couldn’t hide her joy, inadvertently let out a laugh.
That’s right, wasn’t he determined to raise Rize to be strong?
The world is going to turn into sh*t, but maybe I was too overprotective.
That doesn’t mean I’m leaving it at risk.
“Dad will protect you, so should I stay calm with Irina? Understand?”
“Okay, I’ll do as Dad says!”
“Come on, promise!”
“promise!”
I was a little relieved to put my little finger on it and even stamp it.
It would be a little more reassuring if we did everything we could to ensure Rize’s safety.
As I was checking what I could do right away in my head, Douglas licked his lips like he was sorry.
“It would have been nice if my daughter was nearby. There is no contact as to where he went, Tsutsu.”
If it was Scarlett, she would probably be carrying out a long-term request. Judging from the location recently reported, it was fortunate that it did not change from the previous activities.
Putting aside my thoughts about her, I discussed countermeasures with Rize.
“Rize, shall we match the armor?”
“Armor? Like Dad?”
“No, something stronger than Dad.”
“Arthur. Do you know how easy it is to get children’s armor?”
“It’s all about getting it right. Or I can make it.”
“It’s extremely sincere, uh huh.”
So the three of us are talking about various plans.
“Yeah… … Can we talk about the request in detail now?”
Cornwell, who had been isolated from a while ago, timidly intervened.
* * *
Another person who was extremely devoted to Rize, was Irina.
“It’s just fine. At this point, I will also teach you horseback riding.”
He was happy to take a field trip to Rize.
Rather, I was trying to use that as an opportunity to teach something else. Well, I also wanted to teach you some camping skills or something.
Contrary to my family who was excited about the tidal wave group trip, there was also this who was depressed.
“this time… … I’m really sorry. Even if Grandpa didn’t call… … .”
When I told Martin after class, he immediately muttered with a dark expression on his face, but I replied with a snort.
“Even if I could, I had no intention of taking him. I’ll take two kids to where it is. Rize alone is too much for me.”
“Still, I can keep at least one part of my body healthy.”
“Would you like to talk to your grandfather and get his permission?”
After saying that, Martin put on a slightly troubled expression, but as expected, he hung his head.
I waved my hand and opened my mouth again.
“Rather, you think it’s fortunate that the teacher’s schedule and our schedule overlapped. It’s enough to skip class next week.”
“That is also true. Well then, I’ll see you before we leave.”
I roughly waved my hand to get a glimpse of Martin, and then I entered the house and took out what I had been making earlier.
Then, Rize, who was organizing today’s lessons across the table, sat right next to me.
“Can you teach me what to make now?”
“Rise still doesn’t know?”
Rize nodded without hesitation, and thinking that it would, I smiled and showed Rize what I was holding in my hand.
The flat plate had fine grooves drawn to form a strange pattern.
Rize, who was staring at it, immediately had a strange look in her eyes.
“Magic… … Circuit?”
To be honest, I was very surprised.
No matter how much he was learning magic, he would have discovered the connection between regularity and magic in that line at once.
Hiding my surprise, I laughed and added an explanation.
“that’s right. You are making magic tools.”
“Wow, Dad?”
I nodded my head to the startled Rize.
Since I couldn’t use magic, I had been looking for ways to replace it.
One of them was making magic tools.
If only the circuit could be implemented, he wondered if it would be possible to use pseudo-magic through a magic stone, a stone that holds mana.
result… … half success.
It was possible to make magic tools, but the performance was insignificant, and the effect was bound to be limited. It was inevitably different from the magic that people use directly.
If the magic circuit was configured more complexly, various things would be possible, but in the end, the size increased and a large amount of mana stones had to be entered.
On top of that, in order to make magic tools, you inevitably need to know about magic, but who would learn something you can’t even use? Wizards were busy using their own magic, so there was no reason to make magic tools.
In the end, it was a technology that no one touched unless it was a magic tool with commercial value.
Rize, who didn’t know the details, was just excited.
“Dad is so awesome! How are you writing this? I want to do it quickly!”
“hahahaha, it’s still incomplete. Can you give it to me again?”
From noble mtl dot com
“Yes, here.”
He resumed work while Rize, who could not hide his excitement, watched from the side.
Digging a thin line without error required a lot of concentration, and when I finally drew the last line, fatigue set in in an instant.
“Whoa… … .”
“Paa… … .”
Perhaps he had been holding his breath at the same time, he heard a cute breathing sound from next to him.
I handed over the finished magic tool to Rize with a smile.
“Would you like to try it?”
“Yep! this… … Umm… … How are you doing?”
Lize recognized that it was a magic tool, but had no idea how to use it, looked around the board and asked me for help.
I stood up from my seat and stood behind Rize, holding her shoulders lightly and speaking.
“You know how to release mana, right? Try it towards this part.”
Rize nodded and put her thumb on the circular groove near the center of the plate, and I raised my hand and wrapped my hand around Rize’s ear.
Beep beep!
The magic tool let out a sharp, high-pitched whistle, and Rize flinched as if she could hear it even though she was covering her ears.
And Irina, who appeared with the sound of swift footsteps, shouted.
“Is there a problem?!”
“Oh, it’s nothing. I was experimenting with magic tools. Rize, are you okay?”
“Yeah, I was surprised.”
Rize, who had a slightly bewildered expression, smiled, and Irina looked at the magic tool in her hand and looked at me again.
“So what is this?”
“As I heard before, it is simply a magic tool that makes a loud sound.”
Irina, not guessing the purpose, slightly frowned, and I spoke to Rize, who was still looking at the magic tool.
“Keep it on your body, and if you feel it is dangerous, operate it as before. Daddy will always run to Rize if he hears that sound.”
At those words, Rize immediately turned her head and looked at me with widened eyes.
Then, after thinking about something for a moment, he carefully opened his mouth.
“Then, if I use this, will Dad come to visit me anytime, anywhere?”
“Then of course.”
Rize smiled brightly at my answer and hugged the magic tool tightly with both hands.
“I want to make this a treasure!”
“I made this temporarily because I didn’t have time, so I’ll make it properly later. The shape is also pretty.”
“still… … .”
Rize put on a sullen expression, but the current one was just making noise, so it wasn’t very practical.
In the end, we will make a transmitter and a receiver so that we can receive the signal of Rize anytime, anywhere, just as Rize said.
Ah, let’s make it so that we can exchange voices with each other? It’s still just an idea, but I think it could be done… … .
“Is this the safety measure Irvin said?”
While lost in thought for a moment, Irina, who was examining the magic tool from Rize, asked.
I smiled at him and raised my eyebrows.
“No way.”
There are still 20 more left.
