CH 13

Chapter 13 - Just Like a Kid

When [Axe Mastery] skill reaches 30, no matter how much firewood you chop, the skill seems like it won’t rise at all from the very small experience point generated from it. It was just like back then in Eternal Magia as any level 30 skill would reach it first attainment point.

LOG

- You are doing [Firewood Splitting]

- You have created firewood from a log.

In the backyard of my house, I split apart log to create firewood by using a wood stump. This is the easiest way to grind [Axe mastery] skill and thanks to the buff granted by the skill, even a kid like me with my small hand axe still manage to split a log cleanly without any problem. It sure is a surreal scene if anyone witnesses it.

This world which was created by the goddess has skills reign over and alter even the natural physical law. That is exactly why Filianes-san with her slender arms could dish out that kind of unbelievable damage. If it was Mar-san and father Ricardo then their [Strong Body] skill point is just matched with their physical constitution so it was not strange at all if they are [Strong].

(To have strength unmatched with it outside appearance really is troublesome. I must constantly keep on being careful……)

Because even a frail looking beautiful girl still has the possibility to gives out a high damage when attacking.  Just like myself right now who can already beat an orc which have a much much much stronger physical looks than me without breaking a sweat.

“Ah Hiroto, so this is where you’ve been”

“Hiro-chan. Stella-oneechan is coming! Let’s play~”

When I turn my head to the source of voice, Stella and Riona stands there. I told them that I won’t go out to do quest today and stays all day in the house so they have come to play.

Stella’s hair has grown and reaches her shoulder and the tip of her hair is a bit curled. Today, she wears a light blue one piece with a white alice band holding up her hair. Light blue dye are expensive, and even the design and sewing are high class. The clothes that I and Riona wear is just a simple one.

“Are you helping your dad? Hiroto is a good boy as usual”

“Y-yeah…… Well, just a little bit”

“Hiro-chan, what should we play? Hide and seek?”

The kids in this world only had one kind of game to play before and that is to collect colorful pretty stones then use those stones like playing marbles.

So I just come out and try teaching the girls cat’s cradle game that I only know little of but it was unexpectedly become popular. There is not much amusement in this village so the kids really appreciate even this meager addition.

“For today, I will teach you two how to study. Because I will become your private tutor from now on”

“puri fate cutor?”

“Private tutor okay. It was an awesome job you know? Even mama had done similar thing before”

While hearing to dialogue between Stella and Riona, I remember what Elena had once said to me. But even so, even if Stella is older, she should be not old enough to have the ability to teach others……

“Hiroto, where is your answer?”

“Y-yes…… let’s study then. What will you teach us?”

“I will teach you to study”

“Riona likes studying! Riona also likes Stella-oneechan!”

Riona suddenly hugs Stella. Stella, even when she has a hint of embarrassment in her face, still smiles while patting Riona’s head.

“Riona, I will help you comb your hair later. Girls must learn how to treat their appearances”

“Okay ♪ Thank you Stella-oneechan!”

While remembering the time when I help combing Filianes-san’s hair, the scene in front of me made me think. The friendship between this two little girl really is pure and it made me all warm inside.

(Then I will also put my best to act out as a kid maybe)

In my previous live, it was at the middle of elementary school that I start to avoid other people. Even if the cause was just a trivial thing, if that thing were to not happen, maybe I would still be capable to communicate with other people.

Well, I now have the precious chance to start over my life. I turned back into a little boy now so I shouldn’t just focus on only raising my skill, I have to improve my own self as well.

◇◆◇

The book that Stella bought is a children's picture book with a word [Hero] written on the cover.

“The goddess said: My children of the human race, the time where we must depart has comes”

The book is spread out in the floor of my room and Stella-nee is reading the book out loud. Riona and I are lying in both of her sides peeking at the content of the book.

“Zzz…… zzz……”
