Chapter 24 - 24 - Is She Really Wanting To Go With Me? My God..
"As I said yesterday, I didn't want you to go hunting in the forest, you remember? Or maybe you forgot about the conversation you had with me?" My mom was staring at me, making me shiver.
So even a higher level hunter can tremble when he is in front of his mother.
"Yes ... I remember it well." I replied in a low, almost inaudible voice, causing my mother to stress a little: "What? I did not listen very well." Can you calm down a little? It is not good to be angry like that.
"I said I remember our conversation." I said it out loud this time, and I also looked her in eyes, she looked satisfied, but right after that came the crucial question: "So why did you go to the forest? Explain in detail the reason behind it."
Hearing this question, I started to think a little more about what I should say, if I said I can level up by doing this, does she even know what a level is? I don't know exactly what she would think if I talked to her about it.
Seeing that I was very thoughtful, my mother started to pressure me even more so that I started to speak the reason behind it, and after thinking a little more about what to say, I decided to do the most obvious thing.
"I wanted to get stronger, so I wanted to fight monsters." If I'm looking to raise my level, I'm looking to get stronger, right? I think it's the same as talking to her about the levels.
Or is it not?
"So are you trying to get stronger ...." BAM! She gave the table a huge slap, making her shiver, and then stood up: "Do you have any idea what you're talking about? You're only 10 years old, you know this is stupid." My mom really looked annoyed.
And I can understand that a 10-year-old child should not go out hunting alone with the justification of wanting to be stronger, I think that this would not be accepted by anyone, and certainly, my mother will not accept it.
"I'm training you at home for that reason, your dad is also helping you when he have time, why do you need to hunt to get stronger? You shouldn't even be thinking about it."
"Okay, I'm sorry."
"You are a strange boy, I honestly don't understand where you get these ideas from. First, you start using magic, before long you are using a sword almost perfectly, and now you want to hunt monsters to get stronger? Do I really do not understand."
"You don't have to talk like that, I'm not a stranger, and you know that."
"Aren't you weird? I don't even know if you're really a child, you speak in a way that a child wouldn't speak, you practically knew how magic worked when you were born."
My mother did look angry, but at the same time, she looked worried. Even after I trying so hard to hide that I was not a child, did they still realize that something was wrong? No, this cannot be happening.
I'm sure I didn't do something that could draw her attention to this possibility, was it a mistake to start using magic so soon? Or maybe I should have changed the way I speak?
"This ... It's a little painful." I started to feel bad while she said that, I felt like I was being rejected by her, but I'm sure that was not her intention.

"Okay, I'm sorry, I said too much. You know, but I was a little scared when I heard that you could use magic, but of course, I was also very happy, because my son is a talented person."
"Mom.."
"Watching you learn to speak, read and write at such an early age also made me feel proud of you, but I kept wondering if that was right if I could have given birth to such a talented son."
My mom started crying again, this time I started to feel even worse.
"Don't worry, you are the best mom I could have, I'm sure of it. I learned a lot from everything you taught me, and I will take those lessons forever."
"Hahaha, as I said, you're a lot more adult than you look, but hearing that really makes me happy." My mother wiped the tears from her eyes with her hands and then continued: "So you go to the forest because you wanted to get stronger, didn't you ..." She looked thoughtful and sat down again.
"Yes, I went to the forest for that reason, and I would like you to allow me to go to the forest again, I promise I won't get hurt." I was trying to look like a strong, confident person, but my mom just smiled at my attempt.
"Do you really promise that you won't get hurt?" She looked at me with worried eyes.
"Yes, I promise that nothing will happen to me, every day I will come home well and give you a huge hug to prove that I am fine."
"Hahaha, I couldn't imagine you doing something like this ... But for me to allow that, you have to allow me to do something." A huge smile appeared on her face, and just after I nodded, she made her proposal: "You should go to the forest with me, what do you think?"
"Eh?"
Hearing that, I was paralyzed for a moment to try to process what she had just said, and then it took another while to try to understand her motivation, but I couldn't think of anything.
"Can't I? It will make me calmer, and I haven't worked as an adventurer in a while, it'll be nostalgic."
"I'm not working as an adventurer, and I already said that I won't get hurt, you don't have to come with me, okay?"
"Then how about this, I'll go with you for a day, and then decide if you can go hunting alone." I kept looking at her in disbelief, and she just kept smiling, not looking like she was going to change her mind.
'Ehhhh? Do I really have to let her come with me? I never thought it would happen. But she's decided, I can't go against her, I just need to prove to her that I'm strong enough, right?
After waiting anxiously for my answer, I decided to accept her proposal, making my mother smile contentedly and return to being the same as always, she no longer seemed angry or worried.
Doesn't she change her mood very quickly? This is really strange.
