Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

[Eon's POV: ]

"Hahaha~. The moment you pulled out that pot, everyone here knew it was you, Eon."

"Haha, I even jumped and shouted 'that's my baby!' when you suddenly started creating something out of the blue.

I just knew you were doing it in a flow as a thanks but it was so fun, haha. It was fun watching the reaction of the others and the stunned looks every one had. It was sooooooo funny!"

"Shut up Nol. You were too loud. Anna would have woken up had we not been on the second floor. You were shouting so loud even everyone on the other end of the floor would have heard it."

"Alright alright ladies. We should calm down now."

We had finished the heavy talk and decided not to talk about any of that anymore. Thus, a light talk was going on between all of us.

[ "You saved the recordings, right Nol? I really want to watch him do all that. Tsk. If it wasn't for that damn duke, I would have been there right now." ]

[ "Same, brother Brian, same. If only that little bastard was a bit smarter, we wouldn't have to go through all this trouble.

If only the previous lord of their household had paid more attention to his studies, the world would have been a little more peaceful place." ]

Sir Dorian and Lady Oran were on their way to an independent kingdom that was on the very eastern end of the western continent, a place that was partially connected with the border of the Atraxia lands.

Their nation wasn't particularly any special, however since they were the sole nation on the eastern cost of the continent, they had connections with the underwater kingdom located somewhere away from the eastern borders.

For the underwater kingdom of the Mer people, that nation was the only allied country since their ancestors had formed a generational pact to aid each other in any difficult situation.

'They had their full support so they had grown into a prosperous country that could still exist alongside the Roxanna empire on this continent. But there was a problem a while back.'

The king of Lanire died of old age and the younger child he had crowned as his successor suddenly died during a Wild Wyvern raid.

The only other hair he had were his youngest daughter who was currently even younger than us, and the eldest jerk bastard that had only played around his entire life.

'He was never supposed to become the ruler since he was more of a delinquent than any prince of a prominent nation, but circumstances didn't allow that.'

His peaceful life came to an end when he was forced to come into power by the pressure of nobles and the underwater kingdom, and since he didn't like that position himself, he was doing his best to get dethroned.

'He was messing around with whatever he saw fit, and Atraxia lands were one of his areas of focus.'

I didn't want to say it, but he was one of the bastards that he had his eyes on Rein since a while ago, and now that he had the chance, amidst this chaos, it was a pretty good chance for him to take action.

He was a good example of what happens when someone unqualified was given absolute power… he was digging his own grave.

[ "Haaaa. Darling Elle. Sorry we aren't there when you need us." ]

"It's alright mom. I have a family here as well. They take very good care of me."

[ "Awwwwwww. My babyyyy~." ]

Her mom was crying, and everyone else including me had a helpless smile on our faces.

It was good to be in the usual atmosphere that we were used to.

[ "Alright everyone. We will have to go now." ]

"Ah, uncle. Is the matter with marquise any better?"

[ "No Nol. They are up to something. We have sent Julie and the others to investigate their territory. We are expecting them to arrive in a couple of days." ]

"Ah… I see. Please let us know if there's anything we can do for you."

[ "You take care of that sun of yours first. He will have to prepare many thing if he is going to be the one leading the grand conference." ]

"Of course uncle…"

She looked up at me, nodded, and said her greetings alongside everyone else as their communication device turned off.

[ "Then we-" ]

"Ah, dad, wait. When will the two of you be back."

Rein's mom and dad were going as well, but she spoke up hurriedly with an excited expression on her face.

[ "Hmmm? We should arrive in the central city by this evening, then after meeting with the nobles in the morning and the dinner with the 'king' in the evening, we should be back in around three days." ]

"Alright~! I recorded the entire section Eon played on the harp during the fight-"

[ "What?! Really?! You did?!" ]

He didn't need her to finish what she was saying. Those few words were more than enough to get his attention and earn his excitement.

"Yes. With this-"

[ "Ahhh~! With the recorder I gave you as well~?! That's amazing, dear! You did a great job getting that recording~! We will try coming back as soon as we could now-" ]

[ "Hold your horses, dear. We still do not know what exactly we will be dealing with when we reach there. Don't promise her something you aren't even certain of yet." ]

Lady Oran stopped his midway his excitement and gave him a smile that most wives give to their husbands when they are being overly enthusiastic about some certain things.

"Haha, it's alright dad. Take your time and take care of yourself. Don't rush anything. We are only going to rest for the next few days anyway."

She was happy. The warm smile on her face was all that I needed to feel happy as well.

"Alright then, go now. Go do your work."

She knew he was the one handling the communication device right now and that he was exhausted from all the energy they had to use to maintain that thing even with the external support device.

It was no easy task even with his phenomenal Mana control. It needed more Mana to maintain than his great Mana pool so around an hour was his limit for this kind of special communication device.

Even Rein and I could only maintain these things for a few hours. They were no east thing.

'Only those specialised in controlling these things could maintain these communication devices for a prolonged period, people with abnormally large pools of Mana or those blessed with Mana who could directly control environmental Mana more precisely than any of the normal mages.'

Alf can do it with his advanced spell-folding technique, but even he has his limits.

He had a long way to go still. And he knew it pretty well.

[ "See you later Elle sweetheart." ]

"Take care, mom. And take care of dad as well."

[ "Hey! Whose side are you on!" ]

[ "Mine, of course. Huhuhuhu~." ]

She ended up laughing at their cute quarrel… they were cute. She loved them dearly.

"You should go as well, honey."

They also turned off their communication device so, only dad was left with us now.

[ "Hmm? Why? I can still chat for a bit. Taika is still playing with that low grade Draconic species." ]

Dad was in a dungeon with mutated lizardman like creatures that possessed more draconic qualities and less intelligence than the usual lizardmen.

They were also no social creatures like the lizardmen as they appeared individually instead of in pairs, so it was also easy to deal with them.

"Well, yes but I want Eon all to myself now."

[ "What? No fair! You get to spend more time with him while I rot in this shit place?! How can you do that!" ]

There was nothing much to gain in this for him since he already had what the requester was offering as a reward. But since the matter was political and he was a comparatively new political figure in this world, he had to do some of the things even if did not want to.

"Hulu, perks of being home honey. I told you to reject those bastards already but you did not listen. You brought it upon yourself~.

Finish the dungeon quickly if you want to be here as well~."

[ "Hump! I already know what you want to do with him! You have been waiting for this moment for years now!" ]

"…! Hey! Shhhhh!"

"Hmmm?"

What did he mean by that?

She was waiting for this moment? What moment?

[ "Hump! You get to play with him by yourself while I'm here? That's unfair! I will ruin your surprise if I am to rot here for the few more days anyway!" ]

What was he talking about? What surprise?

"Brian! Shut the hell up! You are dead if you-"

[ "Eon! She has a gift for you that she has been-…" ]

-Oooooong!

Before mom finished speaking, he jumped in and started shouting… but right before he was going to reveal this 'gift' of hers, she picked up the communication device and stored it away inside her special bracelet.

"Huuuu. That bastard…"

She had a relieved expression, but it didn't really do him any good.

"What is this 'gift' dad was talking about, mom?"

He blew up half of the surprise by mentioning the word 'gift' and including mom, every one of us already knew I would have many possibilities in mind what this 'gift' of hers could be.

"That bastard…!"

He didn't like how she got to spend alone time with me, with us all by herself.

He was being selfish there, but she was being selfish here as well.

'Both of them could have waited to get together to give me this 'gift' but she thought this was the best chance. He knew that instantly from the happy look she had on her face.'

And though I don't know how he might have guessed what was on her mind when he wasn't even present here, he was her husband. He could do much more than this, that much I knew certainly.

"So…"

She looked up at me with a sad expression, and sighed in disbelief…

She wasn't expecting he would do something like that to her, but, it was what it was.

The surprise was blown away now.

And she knew prolonging it would only make her less fun.
