Chapter 27-Unexpected reunion and the same old teacher

(TL:By Rafael,valhallatls.blogspot.com)

When I turned around, I saw a familiar face standing there.

He had roughly coiffed black hair, deep red eyes, and a confident mouth.

It had been a long time since I had seen him, but he looked exactly as I remembered him, and I was so surprised that I could not speak.

"It's been a long time, but what's with that face?"(??)

"Uncle ......!"(Yuki)

My uncle, Saga Ferdio, was standing there.

He came up to me, patted me on the shoulder, and smiled.

"You've grown up and you've become more dependable. You have the look of a good adventurer."(Saga)

"But where have you been all this time?"(Yuki)

I was interrupted by a huge, murderous, oppressive force coming up from behind me.

"Saga ......! You son of a bitch!"(Benwood)

"Hey, hahaha, Benwood. What are you mad at?"(Saga)

"You put a blind over all of us! Where the fuck have you been?"(Benwood)

Benwood, who had been walking toward us, tries to grab him, but Uncle Saga slips away from him and walks toward us (after restraining Benwood with "Chain" magic).

I was a little surprised to see that the shy and naive Yuki had a beautiful woman at his side."(Saga)

"Oh, um, ......"(Yuki)

"Hey there, sweetheart. How is our Yuki? Is he good to you at night?"(Saga)

"Aah, Yuki-san has been very good to us."(Silk)

What are you asking?

And what is Silk answering?

The tense atmosphere of the place relaxed at once.

"That's all right, Everyone is a little too nervous. You can't even talk calmly because you're in such a hurry, now can you?"(Saga)

Smiling, Uncle Saga snapped his fingers to release Benwood's magic.

He is still the most brilliant magic operator I've ever seen.

The best "red mage warlock" I've ever known is still alive and well.

A master to be respected. The adventurer of my dreams.

The fact that he is back makes me feel a little elated and wipes away my fear and nervousness. Strangely, I think I'll be able to handle it.

"Hmmm. Who are you?"(Mastoma)

"I am Saga Ferdio. I am a humble adventurer and Yuki's uncle."(Saga)

I feel something nostalgic about Uncle Saga, who introduces himself with a smile to the wary Mastoma.

The man is always somewhat natural and relaxed, so he doesn't seem to be thinking of disrespect or anything like that.

"I am Mastoma ...... Yuke's friend, and I am of the royal blood that rules here in La-Jo."(Mastoma)

"I am very happy for Yuki to have a friend like you."(Saga)

Uncle Saga gracefully bows to Mastoma's name.

Benwood's big hand finally grabbed him by the shoulder.

" Hey, Saga, where have you been? You've been gone all this time, and now a simpleton like me is sitting in the guildmaster's chair."(Benwood)

"I'm sorry. It's complicated. But you are with Mamaru, right? And I came back as I promised."(Saga)

"Gumm ......"(Benwood)

From the looks of things, it seems that Benwood and Uncle Saga are having some sort of trouble.

"Now, gentlemen, this is not a good situation."(Saga)

Don't be fooled by this aloof air.

He is still a legendary adventurer.

"Tenebrae, that's a fancy name for a labyrinth of inverted labyrinths. How much do you know about it? Yuki."(Saga)

"I thought it was a labyrinth component, a 'colorless darkness' that flooded the surface of the earth. ......"(Yuki)

"Good, good, you're as good as ever. You're almost right."(Saga)

Uncle Saga nodded broadly and looked the same as before.

It was as if he was the same man he was when I was undergoing my training as an adventurer.

"It is literally on the other side of the world. The laws of this world do not apply. If a person with only this world's definition of existence touches it, it will turn inside out like that."(Saga)

Silk interrupted my uncle's explanation.

"Wait a minute. I heard that  Yuki-san wandered in the "Colorless Darkness. If Tenebrae is of the same quality as the Colorless Darkness, is Yuki-san going to be alright?"(Silk)

"You can rest assured. The answer is that Yuki is safe there right now."

"But, how ......?"(Silk)

"Silk, I know the answer. Here it is."(Yuki)

I pointed to my left cheek.

The bruise is like a pattern, so thin that if it doesn't react, one can't see it.

Persephone's blessing.

Perhaps this is what defines me as someone other than this world.

That's probably why I was able to walk through that crystal-clear darkness without a care in the world.

"Yes, that's it. Without it, you would be dead."(Saga)

"I don't  know if I am Lucky or not."(Yuki)

Persephone is an evil god of sorts.

It's hard to judge whether being enchanted by it is lucky or unlucky, but at least the powers and traits I've gained have saved my life several times.

I would even go so far as to say that it is a god that has been beneficial to me.

"Let's cut to the chase. I'm here to stop this."(Saga)

"Saga. You're as confident as ever. ...... Can you do something about it?"(Benwood)

"Of course not. I can't do it alone."(Saga)

Uncle Saga's eyes were fixed on me.

"Me?"(Yuki)

"Yes, you. You're the best nephew I've ever had. Besides, it's your thing, you were going to do something about it, weren't you?"(Yuki)

I nod at my uncle's words.

In this manpower shortage, having a good uncle is a godsend.

But Benwood's expression was grim.

"Don't just show up and take charge, Saga. If you're here, you'll get back on the job. That was our agreement."(Benwood)

"Naturally, I'm in the head count. Benwood, Mamaru, and Manuela will be helping me."(Saga)

"You're being a selfish bastard."(Benwood)

Benwood's face looks somewhat happy while he says so.

My uncle's such a natural seducer, it's not fair.

(TL:Look in the mirror)

"I'll tell you all about it tomorrow,Mr.Mastoma, do you have someplace to stay? It was a  little bit of a challenge to come here."(Saga)

"Well, then..."(Mastoma)

I interrupted Mastoma and spoke up.

"You can stay at my base, and I can get you a few drinks."(Yuki)

"Not bad. It's also been a while since we've had a family talk."(Saga)

I nod back at my uncle, who smiles and nods, and look over at Benwood and Mastoma.

My uncle is a man who tends to disrupt things.

When I was back home, I had nothing but pure respect for him, but now that I'm older, I can understand the air he puts on.

I hate to say it, but I need to keep an eye on him to make sure he doesn't cause any problems.

Besides, as Uncle Saga said, I want to have a family talk.

I have a lot to tell them.

"Let's go, Silk. I have to introduce my uncle to everyone."(Yuki)

"Oh,Um yes."(Silk)

I pulled Silk's hand, who seemed to be in a bit of a panic, and left the guild building with my uncle.

TL Note- So finally we saw the legendary uncle and as you might have noticed I had a misunderstanding  that he had a Sage as title but his very name was Saga? Worth of being Yuki uncle.
