207 Chapter 207

The two watched as the man ran away from the house in an unknown direction. Acht could only shake his head with a sigh since he could see how much of an alcoholic that man is.

'If he isn't losing himself because of alcohol then that should be fine.' He thought to himself as he shifted his gaze back to Mia.

She seemed very accustomed to this attitude that her father had since she just merely chuckled.

"He's an airhead but he's a good father." She said with a smile.

Acht squinted his eyes before asking a question.

"Has anyone ever told you that you seem way too mature for your age?"

Mia was confused at first but then understood what he meant and shrugged her shoulders casually.

"I never really thought much about it. That's me and I'm happy with it. Besides, being mature is more fun than doing childish stuff." She said as she jumped up and down.

'You still are a child though. Not that I look any different.' He thought merely.

"Anyway, I will leave you to put your luggage and settle down. You can find me in the village if you want to take a tour around the place. I will gladly help you, Cero." She then waved her hand as she walked out too, leaving Acht alone inside the house.

The young man looked around him and sighed as he sat down on the sofa, arching his neck back to face the ceiling.

"This is my new life…Huh. The past me would've laughed his ass off if he saw me trying to live a normal life. " He muttered as many memories flashed past his mind like a movie.

Seeing all of the things he went through, he did indeed change from his past self. It was something hard to explain but it was as if he was now more 'normal' if that world was the right one to use.

His past cold self and his calm demeanor were still there as usual but he was somehow now more accepting of people than before.

'I have been feeling this for a long time. But, why is it happening? Maybe the previous owner of this body had some effect on me and made me change slightly. That could be the case.'

He was after all not the original owner of this body so maybe that was the case and their souls fused together or maybe the lingering bits of the previous owner's soul mixed with his and changed him slightly.

'Anyway, it's not that harmful to me so I'm not that worried. I still have my normal traits with me and that's more than enough to help me survive in this world…. Hopefully.' He thought as he stood up again and went to work putting his luggage out.

He didn't have many things that he considered luggage. Just a few clothes, his weapons, and some other auxiliary things for hygiene and other stuff.

Then after that, he spent the rest of the morning placing everything where it was meant to be and also inspecting the house thoroughly.

That was when he found something in the bathroom.

"What the…hell?" He muttered as he looked at the wall of the bathroom.

There, a massive picture of Leislet was covering at least half of the wall. It was a painting of her in a sexy position with her massive boobs barely being hidden. Her body alone could drive any man crazy but Acht was about to be driven crazy because of a whole other reason.

Her cheeky smile that she always had was also there. What made him even more weirded out was the caption under the pic.

"'My gift for you…Enjoy your stay.' my ass! She's one crazy woman." He clicked his tongue as he used gravity to move the painting from the wall and then put it in his spatial ring.

'I will get rid of it later. There are other things I should deal with now.' He pondered as he checked the time.

There was still some time before lunch so he wanted to go out and meet his new neighbors for a few years to come. He also wanted to work on his social skills to make his life here easier.

'I am genuinely trying to change myself. Is it for better or worse though? I hope it's for the better.'

Then, he left the house, the sun was nearing the middle of the sky and since this was the spring season in this world it was warm but not too warm.

He looked around him but saw no one since he was slightly far away from the closest house. It was something he asked Leislet for so that he doesn't have to listen to the noises of neighbors around him.

Then, with casual steps, he walked to the village. The people were now resting since they have been working for a few hours now.

Acht approached a group of farmers who were resting. The group was made up of men and women, mostly elderly.

He introduced himself skillfully and was able to talk with them.

They were also very cheerful and kind. He was nothing but a kid in their eyes after all.

"Boy, you are still this young and you could live alone. My son is at your age and barely could count to ten. Sigh, if you were my son." A woman said as she sighed.

Acht merely chuckled and didn't say anything.

He couldn't just say that he was almost 40 years old if you count both of his lives.

As he kept conversing with them, others came to them to say hi. It seemed that seeing that the newcomer was talking with their friends made them have enough courage to talk to him.

Even though they didn't talk about anything important, Acht felt such joy as he casually passed time not worrying about anything and just getting to know new people.

He had never felt such a thing before and yet it was as if he had always been like that. As if he was indeed meant to live such a life.

It was most likely just his imagination but that was still something that Acht didn't hate at all.

"Look at you, I left you for a few hours and you are already friends with aunties and uncles," Mia said as tapped Acht's shoulder.

"Mia, you met this young man? He's such a good boy. What a good child." An elderly woman said as she chuckled.

"Really? I have never thought about it." Mia said as she touched her chin with her index finger.

Acht didn't know whether to laugh or cry at such a comment so he just refrained from talking.

"Ok, let's have lunch. Since we have a new person in the village, the lunch is on me." A man chuckled loudly as he called for his wife and children to start preparing this small banquet.
