Chapter 4- Going Out

Father was staying for a while. He was on break after finishing the goblin extermination job. My father said the goblins behaviour has been odd lately. According to him it feels like the goblins are preparing for something but that’s just what his gut is telling him.

After that brief tender moment of me crying and bawling like a little child. We had dinner and spent time together.

Father likes to talk about his adventures when he was young and how he was such a dazzling hero, but I call bullshit. Because mother always laugh when he boast about himself so I imagined he must have been a reckless warrior. Just charge in and smash the enemy till they’re dead strategy.

But that’s what mother loved about him apparently. Compared to other guys she has met. Father is simple, straightforward and honest. He wears his emotion and is not very good at hiding them.

So she doesn't have to worry about father lying to her and being insincere with his feelings.

After spending more time adventuring together, eventually father figured out that mother has feelings for him. Even though mother kept dropping hints for so many years they had been together.

From this I know my father was a dense guy. Reminds me of the main character from Infinite Stratus. Now that guy was something else.

After hearing all the wonderful adventure that my father and mother shared. I had a sudden thirst of going outside and adventuring.

I expressed my desire to my parents and they smiled at me and nodded. They agreed that I need need experience as I'm going to the next head of the Azure family and that I can travel the the world after I finish school.

School starts when a child is 12 years old and gets tested for what ability he has been given. The school will be responsible for helping the students in using and developing that power so they don’t harm themselves and other people.

The school also teaches them to be responsible and to not abuse their gifts.

In order to graduate you need to acquire 1000 merit points. Merit points are accumulated by going on missions set by the guild. The higher the difficulty the more merit points.

I was extremely fascinated. I can feel the excitement bubbling in my chest.

Before going to bed, I asked if we can go to the town square.

They just smiled at me and nodded and they quickly dashed towards their bed room, giggling to each other.

Urghh. My parents are perverts.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________

After a quick breakfast we head out in town. We have several guards with us and my maid Astrea came along too. I was in front of the group with two guards at my side, while Astrea is behind me. My parents are further back holding hands and enjoying their time with each other. Being incredibly sweet. Heck they’re even flirting.

I can’t help but roll my eyes at them.

I look around and see people look at us with a smile and respect. All of the gazes seem to be directed towards my father. I assume he’s well known. Obviously he is a legendary figure in the Cloud kingdom plus my dad isn’t pompous and arrogant like some of the nobles, who looks down on the commoners. So he’s generally well liked.

I’m surprised by the many different buildings. I remember them from the many games I played back home. Like the blacksmith, Enchanter, Magicians Guild and many others.

There were street vendors selling food like barbecue chicken on a stick which I bought a couple and ate. It was delish.

I complimented the food which got the owner happy.

We strolled around town, while I browse and look at many different products produce in the cities. Such as the sword shop, the armour shop. And there's even a shop were they sell beast cores.

Beast cores are vital for ability users and they can be used as battery to replenish lost mana if you do not have time to meditate and slowly replenish lost energy.

So adventurers can sell them for quite an expensive price.

The shop that I liked the most was the Spirit Beast shop which sells magical beast that you can tame. Pretty cool huh. I wanted the four winged lion but my mother said no because I was too young and reprimanded my father for supporting me.

According to mother I'm not responsible enough yet. And taking care of a spirit beast is hard worked and can't be done lazily.

My father just awkwardly smiled at the owner and me while mother was still lecturing him.

Oh well. It wasn’t in my plans to buy one anyway. I want to tame a beast using my own power. I got carried away from excitement of owning a magical beast.

I mean come on who wouldn't. This is literally orgasmic.
