The Prodigy Sefiria’s Overpowering Program

1 year, 3 months, 64 - Kaylis' Secret

Kaylis walking away with Lantern and me in both hands was somewhere of a worrying look.

The ground is a relatively walkable mountain path without any irregularities such as this. But the darkness that poured in the ink is creepy and makes me feel so uncomfortable.

That's how we went silently for a while and gradually noticed that Kaylis was looking around more and more often.

It doesn't mean it's good anywhere without popularity (one person), but it seems like something specifically exists that I want to show you in this mountain.

Eventually, Kaylis, off the mountain trail where the grass is being felled for people to pass by, walks through the tall bushes and into the grass.

Along the way, Kayliss, surprised by the featherworms caught and flown by the lantern light, screams "hiu" small, but the worms I magically bounced them off for you.... I'm really not good at it either.

Proceeding through the grass for about ten meters, we eventually went out into a bit of a tuku (hiraki) place.

As soon as I got to that place, where the weeds were also low and the trees sparse, Kayliss stopped leaking his voice like "ah......" unexpectedly.

I tried to ask him what was going on, and I notice his hands trembling there.

Kaylis, who walked out again, approached one thin tree that protruded from the slope there.

The side of that tree, one from the ground. Branches stretching from about five metres are caught with rusty, worn silver bracelets.

Kayliss-kun brought me down to the ground, and when I put the lantern aside, I crouched at the root of that tree.

"Here... I wanted to show this place to the lady..."

'Huh?'

I don't know what that word means spinning with a trembling voice, and I wait for his words that would follow this.

Then Kayliss-kun leaned down and hid that look, whining in a voice that seemed to disappear.

"Five years ago, I buried your father in this place..."

........................... what?

My head turned bright white in an instant and I couldn't return any reaction.

What, buried it? Your father, I mean, Kayliss-kun's father? Why? In these mountains? Huh?

I can't swallow things at all, I could just stare at Kaylis, who started leaking whimpering about squatting (uzuma-kuma).

But I first decided to give up my thoughts, and now I conclude that it's a prerequisite to lean on Kaylis, who has cried me down anyway.

Though when it came to what I could do now, it was about hugging him with my little body and short arms.

... then a while later.

A little bit of my comfort also worked, and gradually Kayliss-kun's whimpering subsided, eventually settling to the point of sounding his nose softly.

By then, Kayliss will be looking at me in a fearful and other way, reflecting lantern light on her wet eyelashes.

"I'm sorry... I messed up"

'Yeah, I'm fine. More than that, the... what do you mean?

"... Yes. I'll talk to you in order."

That's what Kaylis said, his eyes lay down as he took a sneak deep breath.

Then he softly lays his own hands on the hand I was touching Kayliss-kun.

"I think the lady, too, is already somewhat conjectured... but it wasn't the Imperial Capital that I was born and raised.... I've been lying to you, and I'm sorry"

One day, Kaylis said that he was from a family of servants born and raised in Imperial City.

But it is also true that we have seen many words and actions that do not fall into our hearts.

Being familiar with the geography and internal affairs of the Republic as a matter of course, or the whole city... it doesn't even take off its hats and mufflers in the church, or go into the elves with its own life for a city it should have visited for the first time...

Until Kayliss told me directly from your mouth, I didn't dare to think about it... but if I put those facts together, that's just what I'm going to guess.

"Where I was born,“ Plazatos "… was the capital of this Eastberg Republic"

I could take that fact of Kayliss-kun's confession surprisingly calmly on my own.

Rather than surprised, it would have been because of the feeling of convincing.

However, he went on to say the same thing about the fact that he spoke.

"And my real name is“ Kaylis Trilpat "… until five years ago, I was born to my father, who was President of the Republic"

So... President!? Easberg's!? Oh, I mean, isn't Kaylis, uh, like the prince of the republic!

No, of course it's not a hereditary system, so it's not unusual for Kaylis to be great as a blood muscle or anything like that... but among those great people, it wouldn't be unusual to say "II”.

Besides, given the standard of education in this world, it's hard to even get a decent education unless you're quite rich first. So at that point, only a handful of people who were originally born into good households can be presidents.

... Thinking about it, what a perishable environment. Looks like midsummer bread.

Huh? But wait a minute.

If Kaylis's father was a former president...

I drop my gaze almost reflexively to the ground in front of him that he is “buried”.

"... the current President of the Republic is Meerlax Trilpat... my uncle"

"Uh... Kayliss-kun's father's, brother?

"Yes, it will"

I shook my shoulders unexpectedly when I looked back at Kayliss-kun again.

Usually cold and pale, his eyes now had a clear flame of hatred burning up.

Kayliss, who had eaten his teeth so badly, abhorred him from the bottom of his heart... he threw up that fact.

"And that's the guy... he's the Ten Himself who drove my father to death...!!
