Alvin is a cute child, this much I’m certain of.

But he is a bit too impulsive and impatient sometimes.

I guess this has to do with what Ann did to him and Jacen. I can’t approve, but I won’t say anything. Let Alice deal with this her way. Besides, it seems they stopped it after Ann was gone, so it may be best to pretend it didn’t happen.

Anyhow, the little one is worrying about his big sister.

That is refreshing to see.

He has been doing so much to learn [Soul Walking], and now he has decided to go out hunting monsters.

Haha.

I guess his little sister being born is even more of an incentive. He surely must be feeling some jealousy.

But he won’t learn faster like this. The way of learning how to sense souls has nothing to do with “run or fight” emotions.

It’s emotions like fear, worries, calm happiness, sadness, contemplation, longing or joy.

His night training had a bit of worry, joy and fear, so it has been very effective.

But this hunting trip of his is full of excitement. It will be useless.

Well, we can do something fun out of it, can’t we?

Besides, it’s a chance for me to show him that I can indeed protect Ann.

Not that she needs much protection. She is currently on a very safe road, sleeping on top of a three.

There’s no bandits on these poor parts, and I have taken care of most monsters on the way. She will encounter only a couple ‘hounds or something.

You should trust your grandma a little more, little one. She likes you a lot, even if she isn’t trustworthy.

So let’s hunt a few hounds. Your [Aura Needles] versus my [Aura Javelins].

My grandson’s daring face is really cute.
