Reincarnation Monarch

As Gaius managed to finish his meal, and it was time to go, Carla said, staring at the depressed bushes in the mountains.

"... oh? Looks like you still have company."

Gaius also looked back at Carla's words, gazing and looking at the bush often.

"... ah - it's true.... I mean, aren't you a child?

As Gaius said, a young child hidden in the bush peered at Gaius with his tiny, crumpled eyes.

"You must be a child, but what are you talking about... rather than you..."

Gaius then spoke in a great panic to dispel Carla's words.

"Right! Oh, I don't know. I mean, I want to be an adult. I'm stuck with you, I'm a grown-up! Excuse me."

Carla stared at Gaius's face like that.

"Hmm! Fair enough. By the way... boy? Or is that your little girl?... don't hide in that place. Get out."

Rarely did Carla speak kindly toward the young child hiding in the bush.

Gaius felt a creep that seemed not to be good for either the thought that he was being taken into account for his own qualities or Carla's kind words.

But Carla didn't want to pursue Gaius any further because she was intrigued by the kids.

"Look. If I'd stayed out because I'm not scared,"

And Gaius also tried to call the child, fortunately, with a gentle glance at Carla's face.

"That's right, that's not frightening.

Then he scratched the grass, and the child finally showed up.

"Hmm... younger than you?

The child looked one or two years younger than Gaius, as Carla put it.

"... I knew you were frightened... Master, could you step back a little?

"What do you mean?

When he wondered whether the child was frightened by Carla's anger, he rushed out as a shedding, and hid again in the shadow of the grass.

"... this is what I mean"

Carla said, letting the big-eagle nose float a few muscles of vibration and blood vessels, but just quietly back down without saying anything.

"... Come on, there's no more frightened grandma. So stay calm."

Though Carla's posterior appeared blurry in Gaius's words and expressed great anger, the child once again appeared from behind the grass.

Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.

The child slowly approached Gaius one by one, with a slightly frightened look around him.

So Gaius finally found out that this kid was a boy.

"Boyah, it's not frightening. - Hey, we're almost there. - Hang in there."

And finally, the boy came within the reach of Gaius.

"Yes, I see."

Gaius gently embraced the boy with both hands.

Then the boy was relieved or began to cry out as soon as possible.

Gaius continued to hold him gently as he spoke up until the boy stopped crying.

And after a while he finally stopped crying, Gaius asked the boy his name.

"What about you?

"... Abel"

"Abel... that's a good one. How many now?"

"... five years old"

"Five years old... not much different from me."

"... how many?

"I'm six. I forgot to say, but my name is Gaius. So, my uncle in black over there is Rodemul. And that scared old lady is Carla."

Once again Carla's appearance was blurry, but Gaius had not seen it at all.

"By the way, what were you doing here?

"... I was exposed last year... to chores."

"To these bandits?

"... yeah"

"... well. Is the house near here?

"Yeah. It's a long way... because it's a berth..."

Then Rodemul opened his mouth, who had remained silent until then.

"Is it Bath, then, ahead of Tabe?"

"Right! All right!... you know, we're going to go to Tabe, but I'll give you a lift to your house when I get some errands done there... okay, Master?

Gaius looked back and asked Carla.

"... you have no choice. Because you can't leave me here alone. However... don't tell me you're scared of me again. Like?"

"Yes."

Gaius replied to Carla in a slight mood, turning again to Abel and saying:

"That's why I'm coming with you"

Abel laughed with a big smile on her face.
