6-year-old Wise Man Wants to Walk in the Shade : Chapter 5

-

 Chapter 5 - You made me angry, didn't you?

When I finished lining up the bodies of Princess Clarice and the others by the entrance after using wind magic...

"Eddie!"

I heard my name being called in a desperate voice.

I looked up and saw my mother running towards me with a pale face.

This was bad.

It seemed she'd found out that I'd snuck out.

If she got any closer, she'd notice the presence of Princess Clarice and the others lying there.

I hurried over to my mother.

If Princess Clarice and the others were found now, I wouldn't be able to pretend I had nothing to do with it.

I had to figure out a good way to cover it up...

"I'm sorry, Mom...! I disobeyed my orders and went for a walk..."

I tried desperately to cover it up by acting like a child.

Until yesterday, this had been my natural attitude.

Now that I started doing it consciously, it was so obvious that even I felt a little strange.

But my mother didn't suspect anything.

She got down on her knees and hugged me tightly, and said in a crying voice.

"Oh, Eddie...! I'm so glad you're safe...! We have to get out of here right now...!"

My mother was so distraught that she tried to pick me up, but I quickly stopped her.

What on earth was she talking about?

"Eh? Wait. You're leaving?"

"You don't need to know anything! Mommy will protect you. It'll be okay, everything will be okay...!"

"Protect me, what do you mean?"

I asked in my natural tone, not trying to act childish.

All I got was silence.

It wasn't that she was confused by my transformation, but that she was upset by the question I had asked her.

I put my hands on my mother's shoulders and pulled away.

Something was clearly wrong.


My mother's eyes met mine up close, and she looked at me with a pale face.

My mother's beautiful face, with the appearance of a young girl, was wet with tears, making it hard to believe she had given birth to three children.

"I'm not the reason you're crying, am I?"

"Well, that's..."

"Tell me, Mom. Who made you cry?"

I asked in a lowered tone, and my mother's shoulders shook.

That's not it.

I'm not angry at Mom.

I'm just annoyed at whatever it was that made you cry.

--In my previous life, I was alone because I was the strongest.

My power was sought after, and every time I used it, my name became known.

Naturally, the number of times my life was targeted increased.

It was easy to protect myself and fight back.

But when they couldn't defeat me using a legitimate method, they started to target my party members and close friends.

The best way to avoid unnecessary sacrifices was to stay away from groups.

I never formed any parties, and became known as the solitary strongest sage.

Naturally, I also gave up on having a lover or a family.

What I couldn't get in my previous life.

Warmth and love.

My family in this life gave me that.

My father, mother, and two older brothers all dote on me, the youngest, with an excessive amount of affection.

I was given so much attention every day, and even though I complained that I could do it on my own, I loved my family very much.

Those feelings haven't changed even now that my memories of my previous life have returned.

So――

I will never forgive myself for making my precious family cry.

"Mom, something happened, didn't it? Tell me."

"Eddie, but..."

I was about to ask my mother the same question again, as she was crying and panicking.

--BOOM!!

Suddenly, a roar shook the ground, and I felt a wind pressure so strong that I couldn't stand.

The magic that was transmitted through the air was so strong that it made my body tingle.

"I can feel this magic..."

I muttered to myself in a small voice.

Ah.

It's been a long time.

"Eddie, come here! Hurry..."

My mother's body, which I had cast a sleep spell on, went limp.

As expected, I had learned the lesson, so instead of trying to support her with my own strength, I used wind magic to catch her as she collapsed.

I carried her over to Princess Clarice and laid her down.

"I'm sorry, Mom. If she was conscious, she'd probably come after me. Please sleep here for a while."

After leaving those words for my sleeping mother, I ran towards the main gate of the mansion.

There was no need to use detection magic.

I could sense her presence getting closer and closer.

It seems he has no intention of hiding the sinister magical power that is leaking out.

Oh dear.

It seems that my opponent this time is a pretty vulgar person.

Dungeon + Harlem + Master: Chapter 1 - Summon a brave man full of mistakes

  It was a windy night anyway. Kurodo Shimon, a sophomore in college, squeezed his beard and looked down at his smartphone. Worn-out cheap jeans and work boots full of scratches. The only over-engineered flight jacket that was unsuitable for street wear seemed to be warm, wondering where I bought it or why I wanted to buy it. Move your chewed fingers while making the tip of your nose bright red in the cold air that cuts your skin. Damn it, I can't tap it well!　 Frustrated, I wiped the oily screen with my cuffs. The season is December, and the ticket gates of stations are filled with nauseous numbers of people. While listening to the jingle bell flowing from somewhere on the wind, I shook my tongue violently. Slow, slow anyway. What's wrong with my Sakurako-chan? It wasn't his lover that the brewer was muttering in his chest. In the first place, Sakurako is a woman on the web that I have never actually met. (Calm down, I.

Chapter 6 - "Forget-me-nots have fallen" "Kamarovich's bastard! When you get out of here, I'll cut it out and push it into the hole in the ass! Cut the cock into pieces, feed it with the dung in the hole in the mouth, and sew the lips with a wire!" Koizumi's appearance turned red and black with anger so that he could hardly keep the prototype. The eyeballs are exposed and raised. A bunch of blood vessels was growing all over the white of the eye. Koizumi screams at the grid, which has been burned by fire and has lost its strength, and kicks it with bare feet many times. The roaring sound of a giant kicking a big tree deafens everyone. It no longer surpassed human power. It made a creaking noise, and the tough timber made a creaking noise. "Seriously, Jii-san isn't a human trick." When Goronzo flirted with Koizumi's swordsman, he made a screaming noise and the lattice moved forward into the corridor. "Hey, fucking prisoners, what ar

Soda ☆ Sis: Chapter 0 - Angels' slight sleep

 --The warm spring sunshine shines down. A baby's high and small laughter echoed in a quiet room. I wonder if there are two tall adult men, there is no stain on the high white ceiling. 　Large transparent glass windows on the south wall.  The cleaning is meticulous and there is no dust or fingerprints. 　Warm from the window opened slightly inside  Breeze   Blowing into the room, the white lace curtains that cover the windows sway. 　 Just outside the window, there is a tree with fresh green leaves. 　Leaves and curtains that move with each wind blow through and block the afternoon sunlight through the windows. 　Then white walls and beige hairy  carpet  Draw a complex shadow on top.  The baby's voice overlaps with it, and it's as if the fairies of light and shadow are singing and dancing happily. 　There are bookshelves, stuffed animals of various sizes, sofas, etc. in the room, but they are so large that you don't feel cramped at all. 　And in the center of the room is a cus
