Saikyou Juzoku Tensei Chapter 10: 7-yrs old (4)
The chief is sitting in a chair and reading a book and was surrounded by Otems.
He had hair that did not lost it's l.u.s.ter, deeply carved wrinkles.
By seeing his big body, I do not think that the muscles are so weak.
For me who refused my father when invited me for the hunting and put most of the effort in magic training. It is something that I would like to refer from, because I have a frail const.i.tution.
The chief is now 150-yrs old, but Maren tribe is not special longevity race.
Maintaining muscle strength is also part of that.
Maren-tribe's average life span is usually about 80-yrs if it is normal.
Although the civilization of this settlement is underdeveloped, it is a simple magic and can maintain a certain level of health, so the standard of life span is high.
Compared with the average life expectancy, it is much lower than j.a.pan.
The chief raises his face from the thick book, and stares at me while pressing the upper part of the gla.s.ses with his fingers.
"... Philo and who was it?"
The tyrant narrowed his eyes, and he said sweetly.
It was already half a year ago since he saw my face in the ritual, and that would be natural as well.
"I am Abel Belek-desu, this girl is my sister Giselle Belek-desu, please excuse me for a sudden visit, there is something I really want to ask."
When I bow my head all the time, Giselle in a panic imitates me.
"Fuun~, is it the son of Zere-bou, I heard often about you from Philo. You are quite good friends with my granddaughter..."
"That, grandfather-sama!"
Philo interrupts the chief in a hurry, by calling him.
As Philo retracted a half step as if she was conscious to that gaze, he said "Well, good." and switches the story.
"Then Abel, what do you want to ask me?"
"In fact, I am stuck with magic practice, when chief-sama had some time, I would like you to give me lectures..."
"Fuun~, kid seems to think that I seems to have lot of free time."
Chief says with angrily and shakes his head slowly.
He do not have to interpret that in a mean way against a child like that...
Because of my life style until now, I know that there are many bad rumors spread about me.
Since her mother welcomed me with smiling face, I took her offer.
The sense of Maren tribe was still I could not grasped well.
"Philo."
Chief opens his mouth.
"Yes, grandfather-sama!"
"Leave the seat for a while."
With 'Gakutto' sound, Philo fall down.
Although she looked back here about a couple of times, as the chief wrinkled between his brows, she quickened her feet.
Well, if there is Philo, the story will not progress...
To see this result, in the end she was not useful enough to surprise me in the sense of softening the att.i.tude of the chief.
"Fuun~... You want to learn magic from me, my waist is not light enough to move when asked by a little boy."
"Is it useless...?"
"It will be a waste of time if you gave up easily, I do not think that you have enough guts boy. For me, it is a short old age."
Ge~e... baring his hostility towards me.
Clearly, I will be troubled by the reactions, even if I get caught by his age.
If it's position point of view, it is still a chief and a brat.
Because I am saying the life expectancy rather than my age, should I say that no such a thing.
No, I am thinking too much.
Yes, it can go. It is a full mark.
When I thought that I had came to forcibly kill(with answer), he avoided it simply.
What kind of answer were you expecting, this old man.
Because he drove Philo away, I thought that he thought quite well... this condition seems to be difficult.
It might be better for me find another master.
"Well then... Ano, this story(about chief become his master), is it useless...?"
"Fuun~, short-tempered guy, I did not say it's useless."
you are saying that.
Well then, which one?
"... That's right, let me see, how serious you are. Boy come back tomorrow morning."
... It is practically a disciple accreditation.
Although I was able to achieve my goal and it was a sunny day tomorrow and I became an apprentice of the chief. I felt something that I could not understand for some reason.
For the time being our talks have finished, so we decided to leave for today.
By the way the Tsundere grandfather taught magic as if nothing had happened the next day.
Actually, I wonder if chief wanted a disciple to teach.
