Chapter 38: Departure
I started to see it.
Although the area was limited and for a short period of time only, he was able to see for sure.
When Kunon told her this, Milica was really happy.
Kunon was really happy that Milica was happy.
…If there just wasn’t the feather on her head, we would have been able to enjoy each other’s company without any worries or doubts.
As expected, she asked, “What do I look like? or “What did you think when you saw me?”
Kunon replied, “I thought you were like a beautiful bird’s feather! Very big and beautiful!”
A woman like a beautiful feather.
Milica had never heard of this impression before, but knowing Kunon’s eccentricities, she decided that it was not so unnatural if it was Kunon’s words and accepted it honestly.
The person of light who was listening at the same table laughed, probably because he could easily understand Kunon’s hesitation and confusion.
We decided to have Zeonly report to the government in secret that he had gained his vision through magic.
Despite the problem of “seeing the invisible,” this is still a great discovery and a great invention.
There may not be many who want it, but for those who do, it is a story of hope.
And what if it could be used by people other than sorcerers?
From the moment he heard the story, Zeonly had been thinking about recreating his apprentice’s invention with a magical tool.
He wanted something that could be used by ordinary people without magical powers.
I don’t know if he’ll succeed or not, but he’s a man who’s been able to give shape to almost anything he’s thought of. I’m sure he’ll get some results sooner or later.
However, due to Kunon’s desire to spend a long time experimenting and testing, we refrained from announcing it to the public.
It is not yet possible to control it at will, and it is too much of a burden for the surgeon to use it on a daily basis.
Above all, it is too visible.
As there was no certain conclusion as to what it was that only Kunon could see, he decided that it was not a story that should be spread rashly.
After discussing the matter with Zeonly, we agreed to keep the story completely confidential.
The only thing he would report was that he had gained sight through magic, and that information would only be available to a few upper echelons, such as His Majesty the King and the Royal Court Magician General.
-The apprentice who had forced his master to make such a complicated report celebrated his own birthday.
On Kunon’s birthday, Milica also came to visit.
We send each other letters and gifts every year, but this was the first time we met on that day.
Gurion’s family and his future wife were there.
We didn’t do anything in particular, just had a nice dinner together.
It was an ordinary event, but the presence of Milica made it a special day for Kunon.
Even if she had a feather stuck in her head, it didn’t change the fact that she was a special woman.
She also gave me a present.
His blurry father gave him a metal cane that he had specially made for him.
It was sturdy and a little heavy, but for Kunon, it was also a self-defense weapon in case of emergency. In a literal sense, it is also a walking stick that can protect him from falling.
His mother, who has heroic eyes with different colors on each side, gave him a pen made of high-quality materials.
She thought that Kunon, who had been forced to do a lot of paperwork by Zeonly, would have many opportunities to write in the future.
She chose a pen that would be as easy to use as possible, and would not tire him out.
His brother, a fallen angel, gave him a map of the world’s gourmet food, which he had researched and compiled himself.
Traveling is often hard and tiring. It is not uncommon to get sick. He said that just one thing to look forward to makes all the difference in such a journey.
Although it may seem a little out of place, the thickness of the bundle of papers held together with string is proof that they took the time to make this for Kunon.
As the next head of the Marquis of Gurion, Ixio was already busy, but I was glad that he took the time to make this.
And Milica gave me a bracelet made of magical silver.
Milica has the same one, and they are matching.
Every time he touches his wrist, it reminds him of Milica. I’m sure it will soon become a very special bracelet.
Since Milica and his family will not be able to see him for a while, they thought of that when they gave him those gifts.
His twelfth birthday passed without a hitch.
And the day after my birthday.
Early in the morning, the Gurion family was standing in front of the door.
Kunon was leaving for the magic school.
It was to send him off.
“Well, I’m off!”
“What?”
In an extremely light-hearted tone, Kunon quickly got into the carriage that had been prepared for him.
My parents and brother were disappointed, as they were expecting something a little more moving, like a farewell speech.
But I thought it was very Kunon because it no longer seemed like Kunon to greet people in a damp or serious way.
“Well, I’m off.”
Iko, the maidservant who was supposed to accompany Kunon on the way, followed Kunon into the carriage in a light tone.
It was because of this maidservant.
I’m not sure if it’s a good thing or a bad thing, but it’s a good thing that Kunon has changed because of this maid.
It’s a good thing that you’re not the only one. I’m sure the percentage of good is greater than the percentage of bad. I’m sure.
Kunon looked out of the window at his family, who were too stunned and helpless to say anything.
“I’m off! I’ll be back in a couple of years……four…………five years……anyway, I’ll be back in a few years!”
The carriage begins to move.
The reason why there is little swaying is because the wheels are protected by a resilient “water ball a-ori”.
It’s very smooth.
“Mr. Kunon, would you like to eat your lunch?”
“Grandma, you already had breakfast.”
“I’m a little short on……. And if you ever call me grandma again, I’ll slap you. I’m still a little young.”
“We haven’t even left Gurion’s property yet.”
“But you must be hungry, Kunon.”
“No way. I’m alone with an attractive woman, and my heart and stomach are full of crushes.”
“Then I’ll eat alone. Thanks for the food.”
“Oh, you’re really going to eat it…….”
The Gurion family moved away while having an easy-going conversation.
With the maidservant, who went to bed immediately after eating, and the crab, which was out of the carriage, Kunon went under the outer gate guarding the Hugrian capital.
An early summer breeze blew in through the window.
It gently caressed Kunon’s cheek and passed by in the distance.
