Walk by yourself.

Completely alone time was kind of fresh. After meeting the masters, there were adults around. You've always been by my side, but now I'm alone.

I was aiming for the White House while looking at the map I got.

When you get off the carriage, you go down the country road. The family of the master's sister who lives in the easternmost part of the kingdom. Surrounded by forests and mountains, it is quite rural compared to the Kingdom's Central District. Even so, it's not that I don't like the country. Rather, in my current state of mind, the country air would suit me better.

I'm sure Master told me to adopt the White family, including that.

The adoption process has already been completed. As far as I was concerned... I felt like I had nothing to do with it. I don't have that much energy to live with right now. I thought I'd always be with my masters.

When the Far East battle was over, I thought I was going to live those noisy days again.

But Master said it was better to stop. When we're close, it reminds us of a terrible war. As for me, I still wanted to be by my master's side... but I understood from reason that I should distance myself.

Maybe it's time to put yourself in a new environment.

Looking to the left and right, something like a large field was spreading. Now that it's just before spring, I wonder if there are many flowers that have not sprouted.

Clear air and a pale blue sky.

Looking at the slightly drifting white clouds.

Since when have I seen such a beautiful sky clearly? I couldn't afford to see the sky during the Far East. Even so, there was only a red and black world.

"... shall we go?"

Murmur with a razor and rebound the backpack. I don't have much of my stuff, but it is packed in the backpack to some extent. On my right hand, I lowered the paper bag that Flor gave me.

"Hmm? This is...."

There were daily groceries in the paper bag, but something like a bunch of paper was put together. Could this be...

So I took it out, and it seemed that the letters from everyone were compiled. Seeing the names of all of them makes me cry a little bit. But it stopped to shed tears somehow.

Let me read it when I have time.

That's how I finally got to the White House.

It is a white based building with two floors, but it is quite large. Perhaps it's the countryside, and it's related to the low cost of land.

"I'm sorry."

Knock. Soon after that, the door opened. The woman who came out looked just like her master. In addition to blonde hair and blue eyes, she is tall for women. The golden hair flowing smoothly resembled that of the master.

I can tell at a glance. She is Sasha White, the master's sister. On the paperwork, he's already my mother.

"Oh, thank you for coming."

"No, it's not hard to walk."

"Yes, Lydia told me about it."

"Yes, thank you in advance"

Lower your head deeply.

My presence is heterogeneous to the White family. That's why you should be courteous. Make sure you don't disturb your family. And when time passes, I'm going to live somewhere alone.

I have enough skills.

"Oh, you're here!

There's another man coming from the back. She has brown hair and looks young. I don't know the details about the age, but it looks like the first half of my 30s.

In addition, I have a very nice smile. I felt very happy from the way I spoke and behaved, as well as my voice tone.

My name is Ray.

"Luther White. I've heard a lot about you."

Thank you very much.

He also bows his head politely. When I raised my face, they both looked like they were in trouble.

Was there something wrong with my handling...?

"Ray, can I have a moment?"

"Yes"

Sasha stares me in the eye.

We're family now.

"Yes, I understand."

"No, you don't understand. As Lydia told me."

"Eh... What does that mean?

"Let's find it together."

Luther nods well and affirms the story.

"Yeah, that's right. Ray, we're family. No, let's be a real family from now on. I know your circumstances. [M] That's why I want you to rest in this house."

"... yes. I understand."

I'll show my understanding here, but I didn't understand. I wonder why you tried to take me back in the first place. No matter how much Master asked me, I should have had the option to refuse.

This hand is painted with blood. I've taken so many lives on the battlefield. I had no idea I was allowed to leave such a child at home.

Then she was guided indoors and saw only one small brown hair sticking out of the door.

When you catch me, your body will react with a little bit of a twitch.

"Stella, I'm going to be your brother from today. I told you, didn't I?

"... uhh, yeah"

A girl a year younger than me. His name is Stella White. A tall nose with glossy brown hair and wide open eyes. It looks beautiful enough to make you think you'll be beautiful in the future.

Apparently you're not surprised or afraid of me.

I was sort of calm thinking that this would be a normal reaction.

"Eh... It's Stella White."

"It's Ray. Thank you very much."

Looking for a smooth handshake, he shakes his body and then reaches out. It was a very small and thin hand. Even considering the fact that the girl is a year younger, I feel that her body is small.

She seems to be attending elementary school at Arnold Magic Academy, and now in fifth grade she will be in sixth grade from spring. Because the information is in my mind, I am convinced in my heart that a normal child is like this...

So I officially belonged to House White. At this time, I still didn't know. However, because the White family was recommended by the master, there was only a degree of recognition that came.

But I was going to learn a lot of important things in this house.
