Chapter 32

I arrived at the Ractos"s residence where my grandfather, Diebold Ractos, and Aunt Rinna decided to stay for the time being after the dinner party that was held for them is over .  
It seems that at that dinner party, they were served a lot of rare, wonderful, and delicious foreign country food for the sake of satisfying grandpa who"s started to take a liking into foreign food due to father"s influence .  

Aah , that"s so nice .  
After all, I have something that I can"t take off from no matter what happens in the magic guild . . . so I can"t partic.i.p.ate in that dinner . I really envy them .  
It seems that all the members of the family, which is composed of father, mother, and even Erza, partic.i.p.ated in that dinner . They, surely, will brag about that dinner to me .
Mainly father, that is . . .  
Well, since Erza is partic.i.p.ating because of her position as the vice commander of the Chivalric Order"s Heavy Armoured Unit, it seems that she wasn"t able to eat properly .  

[ Such a long time had pa.s.sed, oh fated child of sorcery of mine] ( read : O~h, Jake, long time no see!)

[ My master, forever . ] ( read : Grandfather, I"m back! )

By the time I returned back home, grandfather is already looking comfortable while sipping some gyoro . We immediately exchanged greetings that had already become staple since the time he taught me magic .  
To be honest, this exchange is fun! 

[Ah, Aunt Rinna, welcome ]

[ . . . Jake, please call me Senior apprentice . Not aunt . ]

Squinting her slanted eyes that made it look even more sharper than usual, au . . . Senior apprentice Rinna reprimanded me so .  
Certainly, grandpa is the one who taught me magic . . . but there"s still a lot of problem if I call myself as his apprentice, even if what she"s saying is the truth,  I"m still wondering what I

should do . . .  

[ I don"t care if you just add "-san", as long you don"t call me aunt . ]

[ Eh, but then . . . ] 

[ The fated child sorcery of mine, the Witch of Ice Floe is grieven over the cruelity of the flow of time ] (read : Jake, Rinna is already close to 40 . She doesn"t want to be called as Aunty, you know~ ) 

[ Abyss ] (read : I"ll kill you . )

[ This one shalt remain in silence] ( read : Im sorry . I"ll shut up . )

Aah, is that so .  
Then after this, let"s pay attention to it . . . I don"t want the abyss . . .

[ Really~ Onee-sama jests~ . . . We"re already nearing fourty, aren"t we? Then isn"t already proper to call you aunty? After all, in reality, you"re indeed Jack"s aunt . . . ]

[ Shut up ! You really have it good, you know, Liliana . You"re already married and even has two kids .   Furthermore, having big kids aged eighteen and twenty calling you as Aunt won"t pose any problem to you! . . . Leaving that aside, you, how come your appearance didn"t change at all since ten years ago . . . ! I heard that those who have high magic apt.i.tude has slower aging process and thus I worked this hard . But what the heck is with your youthful looks?! We"re only separated by two years, dammit ! Now, you must be using somekind of sorcery, right ?! Confess ! What kind of sorcery did you use ! ? ]

[ Kyaa ! Stop it, onee-sama . Don"t shake me! I"ll feel nauseus . ] 

With her gentle way of talking, mother dropped the bomb in front of herself . Then there"s Au- . . . Rinnsan who"s bitting onto mother"s word and kept on talking with a rough

rough tone .
That was dangerous . . . What? Rinnsan is able to read minds?
Even though it"s only flashed my mind for a bit, she looked at my side with an amazed expression . . .  

Hey, grandpa . . . eh ? Just a moment ago, he was just right here . . .  

[ Child of the red and black knight, it seems that your study is acc.u.mulating . ] (read : Erzchan, you"ve grown big ~ )

[[ Ojii-chan ! You"ve visited the country that"s famous for it"s metal this time around, right ! ? Did you hear any story about a new kind of metal or gems, yeah ! ? ]]

Before I realized, he is already having a conversation with Erza .
Surely, he"s running away thinking that Rinnsan is already out of hand . . .  
. . . Eh ? But, from what I rememmber, Erza and grandpa is . . .

[ Ooh, Black knight . It seems that those blocked soulful word of yours can not be transmited to this one ] (Read : Umm, Erzchan . . . If you don"t take your helmet off, I can"t understand a word you"re saying . . . )

[[ Black metal ! ? . . . . The . . . soulful word ? What is that ! ? Is it some new process for processing black metal, is it ! ? Grandpa"s words are too hard to understand, yeah ! ! ]]

[ The sorcery, is not omnipotent . . . huh] (read : Not good . I can"t understand what my granddaughter is saying . . . )

As I thought, their thoughts didn"t connect .  
They donn"t understand what the other is saying .  
This looks totally jumbled up .  

[ Fufu . . . after father

after father had come back, our house became more lively! ] - Grid 

[ Wait, father .   Just don"t drink sochuu over there . Do something about this situation . Even though, you"re the head of this house . . . ]

[ . . . I leave it to you who will become the next head of the family . Everything is experience . In other words, this is training . ] 

[ That"s not called training . You"re just throwing your responsibility to me, you know ? ] 

As I shake my head, grandpa came towards my side after not being able to form any of conversation with Erza .  
. . . No, since erza already took of her helmet, it seems that they gave up on it since she cannot understand what grandpa"s saying .  

[ Now that the time has come . . . My grandson, when will the time come for the blood contract with the daughter of the innocent red ? ] (read : By the way, Jake, when will the marriage interview with the Nizzet household will be held ? )

[ Eh , aah . . . It"s in three days . We will do it in the afternoon after having lunch . . . ] 

Now that he mentioned it, I remembered all about it .  
Because of my marriage interview, grandpa hurriedly came back to the Azolias kingdom .  
. . . Eh ? Then all of the military and the Chivaltic Order are hurrying to prepare for without getting proper sleeping . . . is because of me ? 
. . . Let"s not think too much about it .  

[ Is that so . Hmm, finally there will be the one who will succeed my grandson"s blood . The flow of time is indeed going so fast . . . ] (Read : So Jake is finally going to marry ehto marry eh . . . I have already become old, eh . )

[ No, wait, grandpa ! You"re jumping into conclusions too fast . Why did you say it like my marriage is already set in place . . . ]

[ . . . But Jake, I too thought that if you let this chance slip, grasping another chance for marriage will be hard for you, you know?] - Grid 

[ Uh, guuh . . . That"s is inded . . . ]

But we haven"t met each other . And if the other side hates it, we can"t do it either . . .

[ Just like what Grid-sama said, you know, Ja~ke . Furthermore, if you hest.i.tate now, you will become a leftover like Onee-sama you know ] - Liliana

. . . Wait, mother, did you do it on purpose ? 
Rinnsan is glaring at you so fiercely, you know . Are you fine with it ? Won"t you get abyss-ed  !? 

[ Now that mother said it, why is it that Aunt Rinna never got married ? ] -Erza

Erzaaaaaa ! ?
Erza, what the heck did you just say ! ?
Stop it . Don"t add fuel to the fire . Look, Rinnsan is making the scariest face that I"ve ever seen in my whole life, you know ! ! 

[ . . . Jake ]

[ Eh . . . yes ! ? ]

No good . She pointed her fang towards me .

[ Your marriage invterview, I hope it went well . . . ] (read : blow up )


[ . . . I wonder if Erza will become like that too in the future ?]

[ Did you say something, Duke Grid ? ] - Rinna

[ No, I didn"t say anything . . . ]
