The White Necromancer

I took Lily back to Kettle Village. I used Haste to move fast, but it still takes about two hours.

　I was asked for a piggyback ride many times on the way. However, I refused because it was physically unreasonable. I’m only half as tall as Lily now.

“Grandpa, you have a customer.”

　When I enter the house, I call on my grandfather.

　However, in addition to Grandpa, there were Mia and Mia’s mom at home. When they notice me, they look back.

“Alex, what happened to you?!”

“What happened?”

　Mia rushes to me in a hurry. I wave my hand and try to say I am fine.

　And, in contrast to Mia, Mia’s mother, who smiles, tells me.

“Ufufu. It looks like I have a child.”

“Eh…!?”

　I hurriedly look at Mia’s mothers stomach.

“Hey, you’re really pregnant …”

　I look at Mia and Mia’s mother with perplexed feelings. Mia’s mother is Mia’s Mama.

　However, for me, I have a strong impression that she is an older sister in the village. I don’t know if stating my feelings are of happiness are correct.

“Ufufu. Does Alex want a younger brother or sister?”

“No, we are not related right?”

　As usual, Mia’s mother jokes about our relationship , I calmly put in a comment. Mia Mama’s face was one of a smile.

　However, her eyes looked different than usual.

“Ufufu, but will that happen in the future?”

“What do you mean?”

　She seemed to be convinced something was happening in the future. This doesn’t seem to be the usual joke.

　In a hurry, I look at Mia. She was looking down.

“I’m sorry. I told my mom everything.”

“What is everything …?”

“You’re going to take Mia ten years from now, right? I’m lonely so I made a second person.”

“Really everything …!?”

　Mia’s mother sticks out her tongue. That gesture is something that Mia does well. Parents and children are very similar, but probably Mia imitated and remembered it.

　But what? I thought it was a secret only for me and Mia that we are leaving in the future.

　Have they known for these last few months?

“Alex … Is it okay to enter …?”

“Oh, I’m sorry. Please come in.”

　Lily seems to have been waiting outside in an anxious manner. I hurriedly invite Lily.

　Then she looks at me with anxiety.

“Alex’s face is bright red …. Is it okay …? Is it a fever …?”

“I’m good!”

　I involuntarily look down. I wasn’t aware of it, but is my face bright red?

　When I was exposed in that manner, I became more conscious and embarrassed …

“Is that you Lily?”

“That’s right … it’s been a long time … Gale …”

　Grandpa had his eyes rounded. On the other hand, Lily laughs happily.

　And she folded her arms and proudly told my grandfather.

“I have become the ruler of the forest at Lv38 … How is it, it’s amazing right …”

“Well, you’re doing your best, it seems.”

　Forest ruler? I don’t know it, but is it some kind of job?

　When I was wondering, Grandpa told me with a smile.

“The ruler of the forest is a senior position that can be worn by those who have mastered spirit magic. However, only elves can be made, and it is the path that the elf queen candidate is aiming for.”

“Queen of Elves …”

　Is there such a job? There may have been a hidden setting in the game as well.

　However, players can only choose human races, so I think it was useless knowledge in the game era.

　Lily looks down on my grandfather with a blushing face. Then she asked my grandfather with a grin.

“So … how far has Gale grown …?”

“Hmm, if.. I thin I’m Lv50.”

“Really?”

　Lily opens her mouth. It seems that she was surprised at the unexpected answer.

　However, I was also surprised at Grandpa’s answer. Grandpa was extremely wise.

I thought maybe even higher.

“That’s why I hate geniuses … I wish I had that trait …”

“Hohohoho. The Lord is still the same.”

　For some reason, Grandpa seems to have fun with the embarrassed Lily.

　And Lily suddenly turns to me.

“What is Alex’s level …?”

“Well..?”

　Lily looked uneasy for some reason. When I saw my grandfather, he nodded with a gentle smile.

　It’s okay to talk about this, right?

“The black magician is Lv12, the white magician is Lv10, and the pharmacist is Lv9.”

“It’s amazing! It’s gone up so much!”

　Grandpa and Mia look happy. However, Lily is in a bad mood.

“That’s why Gale’s disciple is … Alex is a genius … No, Alex doesn’t have to be …”

“What?”

　Is that something like Lily’s habit? For some reason she lies the word genius.

　Grandpa laughs happily at the situation.

“Hohohoho. Good luck, Alex seems to like Lily.”

“Alex is a kind child … not as mean as Gale …”

“Hohohoho. Isn’t the old man the mean one?”

　After all, Lily pokes at my grandfather. And Grandpa happily parries it.

　Are these two people unexpectedly close to each other? It looks like it’s going to be fun for some reason.
