Tensei Shoujo no Rirekisho

Homecoming Journey Edition ② Koo Mother's Kindness

"Liu! Why are you fighting in such a lame way! No more! I don't care how many lives I have!

"No, not unscrupulous, it's me, you know, with the certainty that I can..."

"Easy now."

"Yes."

Right now, Gatsun and Koo, your mother are mad at me.

When I fought the demon earlier, it was a demon covered in fairly thick scales, and I couldn't get through a bow or some other weapon, and there was no wizard nearby, so I squeezed the bow down to Gilligiri, waiting for the demon to come in front of me, and then released the arrow. The close-range bow-arrow attack pierced his brain, and where the motion became brittle, there was an event where he let the sword bite into his mouth, sealed the motion, and had the other students stab him with the sword, knocking down the demon.

I thought I could, and I did, but from people's point of view, it seemed to me that I was recklessly approaching the demon and going from myself to being bitten by the demon fangs.

I defeated the demon! Phew! When I was immersed in the sense of accomplishment, Mother Koo on the horse looked down at me in a tremendous shape.

I thought I'd be shot with my gaze. Koo, Mother. Seriously, I'm afraid.

No, at all, I didn't stick around trying to get bitten. Though only the sword was meant to bite.

But even if my arm was bitten, I didn't act thoughtfully because I had healing magic... I don't know, there's something I can't tell you...

Kou, your mother was cancun at my behavior like that.

Not only about this one, but with your opinion that the way you fought so far is too much to throw away, right now, it's up to me to be brought back to the carriage and it's scolding time.

Koo, your mother is scared.

"Originally, Atashi is honestly opposed to returning to territory. Something too dangerous. But it looks like Liu really wants to go back, and I know how that feels. Plus, there's Atashi and Bash, and I'm worried, so I thought I'd come back with you. But if there's any danger, I'll stick my neck in it and bring you back to the king's capital if you're going to fight all this lame! No questions asked!

"Oh, that's troubling!

I plead with you to persevere, Koo, but your sharp gaze does not loosen.

Now, it's still, it's barely an Onei word, but when I get serious, I go back to the man word. When that happens, it's no good anymore, that's all.

In the carriage alone, I was surrounded by strange tension.

"... Lew, what happened? Liu has been insensitive for a long time. But I've been through a lot lately."

Anything, I think your prospective mother Koo is starting to figure something out.

I look down most of the time.

Should I say or should I say... healing magic thing.

If I tell him about it, he'll see more of what I've been somewhat unable to do, maybe. If we stay this way at all, we could be brought back to King's Capital...

But...

"If you don't talk to me, I can't protect you, Atashi, Liu"

That's what I said, Cow. Mother, put her hand on my shoulder.

When I look up again, it's Mother Koo's serious face.

Don't look away.

But when I say healing magic, Koo, what would your mother think? Plus, it could get you into something dangerous. Because it's a national secret. So, you better not tell me, Koo, for your mother's sake.

Here, if you honestly apologize and say you won't be impotent anymore for now, it should be a trip and you can go on.

Besides, you're going back to the king's capital. So far, you're here to repair the junction and defeat the demons that came out, so you may not be likely to encounter demons on your way back, but still, it's not a 100% safe journey. Even Mother Koo should think so.

Yeah. Let's apologize honestly here and get nothing.

From now on, try to keep your unscrupulous behavior as low as possible, and keep the healing magic thing a secret... so...

But the words didn't come out.

'I'm sorry. I'll be careful next time. No more dangerous imitations.'

That's just all I'm supposed to say, but I'm not in the language.

Seriously faced koo mother in front of me. Something like a lie, I can't tell you. You're worried about me, you're giving it to me.

And me, too. Even I... already, really...

"Koo, Mother..."

Finally, Koo, I could only call your mother's name.

Just mouth it, I feel comfortable.

Yes, I...

I, honestly, get heavier when I think about healing magic.

It's hard to be attacked by demons and worry about territory, but as hard as it is to be hiding something about healing magic. And I was scared.

I'm afraid that only I might know what the country might be hiding.

The first time I found out about magic, I was happy.

I was curious, excited, and tried everything that I found amazing.

But that didn't last long.

What I found out, I got scared.

I was freaking out that someone would find out.

Because I was scared to cast a magic spell that didn't make sense.

Nothing, it doesn't seem to be working, but the truth is, when I think about it, something horrible is happening to my body, I couldn't sleep much at night either.

More importantly, it was hard for no one to say that and no one to understand how I felt.

It was, above all, tremendous and painful to be scared when the country knew, and I don't want anyone to know, but to not be able to share this feeling with anyone.

Besides, I was scared to imagine that if this secret were known to the people close to me, my eyes would change.

Guys, will you look at me as much as you ever did?

Maybe they'll spook me, and that someone might sell me to the country... and I didn't like to imagine myself doubting my loved ones.

I really didn't like it all anymore.

I wish I hadn't known about this...

So the truth is, I know I should do a lot of experiments and figure out the magic.

I knew it might be beneficial magic for everyone, but I was putting it behind me.

When I wasn't answering and it was solidifying, Mother Koo smiled.

"It's okay. Whatever happens, you're on Liu's side."

Koo, my mother heard a calm voice and my eyes were getting hot.

"... but Mother Koo, too, if I told you this story, you might regret it. Besides, I think I'm in a lot of trouble. You know, I might feel so scared, and I wish I hadn't asked, so, Ko, your mother hates me."

"You can't be! Ha! Liu is too busy talking about the sea urchin. You'll excuse me."

That said, he turned his usual favorite smile on me.

"Leo, it's harder for you to be alone."

Vision seeped in.

Because it's sweet. Ko, your mother is too kind.

Mother Koo, when you say that, I, really, will say...

'Cause I was, already, the limit.

It's heavy and heavy and I can't help it, and I want someone to... Koo Mother to know.

Cow, if you're a mother, I can believe it's okay to say it.

Besides, even if I tell Mother Koo that I'm going to find out to a lot of people, I'm sure I won't regret it.

Raise a small voice with a whimper, lest it be heard even to the seat of your Lord.

"... you know, I, uh, found magic. I found some magic that we might be able to use."

Then, with the pouring tears, I spoke.

I'm not a wizard in school. That I've found magic that I can use, that its effects only activate on me, that maybe the country is hiding this magic thing...... that I find so scary.

Mother Koo, without saying anything in the meantime, was stroking my head.

My story is crying, it feels like I'm just spitting out ideas that don't come together, and I think the explanation of how I know healing magic spells can sometimes be unsuccessful, ruptured.

But Mother Koo, without saying anything deeply to pursue, has been listening to me in silence for a long time.

When all I have to do is finish talking and sob my voice, Mother Koo holds my head and presses it against my chest.

"Lew, that was hard...... thanks for telling me"

Relieved by Mother Koo's kind voice, I shed tears again.

I've always wanted that word.

It was hard, and I wanted you to take it, as gentle as you would tell the little one.

Why, Koo, Mother always gives me the words I want.

That night, I had been crying, and I hadn't been able to sleep in a long time.
