Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

Chapter 123 Grandma

"Me?" she asked as if this was a troublesome question to answer.

We had set here and chatted for quite a long time.

She was the third person I had told about myself and almost all the things that had happened to me.

Strangely, she was the first lady to have heard my story.

When compared, Celes was the same age as I was, and Fern was younger despite her hundred years of life.

Oh... Celes…

[[ Mastaaaaaaaaaar!! M-master~ ]]

She was still sad I locked her in that mark.

I knew just how difficult it would be to sit back and just feel the eternal pain I was going through.

She couldn't even see what was hurting me so much and had no choice but to do the helpless praying.

It was sad, and I was angry at myself for making her feel such things.

She couldn't shed tears but she could cry, grumble and mourn for the things that happened to me so I left her on my head so that she could continue her eternal melody of woe.

This lady said it had been a long time since she had seen a [Crystal Butterfly] like Celes so, I knew this alluring lady was not the same age as she looked.

I just started talking to her, but we had yet to exchange names, so I asked her.

But this look on her face that wondered the answer to such a simple thing was the strangest thing I had seen about her.

"Well, I don't have just one name, little one. And, I don't use any of the ones that I used to have.

You can call me anything you want. I won't mind."

Her answer was strange, but I did not need to ask about the past that she had left behind.

We were in a strange place right now and I still didn't know what this place was.

But, I at least knew that this person who even my heart had accepted was something close to my being.

It hadn't been long, but I felt like this person was something I had longed to see for a long time.

This was the same as remembering my family.

So, I can at least have her as my family.

"Well, in that case, I will call you grandma~!" I spoke, and a smile appeared on her face.

A smile of amusement.

"Grandma? You would be the first to call me that, little one. Well, I don't mind it. Instead, I would love it.

Getting a grandchild before a child.

Nature sure is strange."

She patted me and Celes with a grandma-like smile on her beautiful face.

I knew I had a grandmother but she was also quite beautiful from what mom had said but, this grandma of mine was special.

Just like her touch that calmed my lovely Celes.

"You have quite a lovely partner here, Eon.

Celestine, a gift of heaven. Quite a lovely name.

Seeing an origin beast with all primary elements is quite rare, even more so that seeing a similar human.

But... why would someone that has-, no.

Let's talk about that one later."

She stood up and walked towards the window of the large room on the other side of the room.

Looking out for a second, she looked at me and directed me to come there.

I was confused, but I got up from the bed.

I knew that my leg was healed but, this was even more than that.

"Wow..." I was flabbergasted.

This was amazing.

The leg that was almost cut off by that bastard's blades was as normal as it had ever been.

Standing up with a sigh full of awe, I walked to my grandma.

To kill with a creature as strong as that monster with no effort at all.

She was strong and there was no way she was some normal human or other creature.

I had many questions to ask her and there were many things I wanted from her if I can.

But... those could wait.

I walked beside her to the large window on the other side of the room and looked out at the spectacular scene before me.

"How... high are we?"

My question was legit, and we were almost looking at the endless grass field.

There was a boundary beyond that and there was the dark forest where I had spent more than a year.

It was faint but I could see the green forest beyond the boundaries with my [Mystic eyes].

I was there and then in the dark forest and now here.

It had been a long time and… I was glad.

I could feel that I had become stronger than I had been before the last fight, but that was just a small boost and something felt off.

But… this view before my eyes was something, really something.

I didn't know what this place was or how high this tower was, but I knew that this place was something special.

This special space in the middle of the dark forest, maybe... this was the place I had to reach?

Maybe she would know how I can get out of this forest.

She had wisdom significant enough that I could feel it just by looking at her.

I had many things to ask but, at least for now, I wanted to see this impressive sight.

These endless grass fields.

Some small places with flowers.

Though there were some trees, they were either fruit trees or some rare trees that contained unique things.

Looking down, I could only see the outline of this tower and the ground at the bottom.

I understood that this was some tower and that this was her tower.

This place was enormous, and the barrier covering this place was something unheard of.

Something that not even the creature like that slime could brake?

Something that I could pass through just fine?

What was that barrier, and how can 'this place' could be canceled like this?

Who was this person... this grandma of mine?

To have something like this.

Creating something I can't even understand.

Was she alone or was there someone else here, in this large place?

She was the one who made that white fire, so... what was that fire?

Can a fire burn the whole thing that had made devastation on his path that easily?

Well, there were many more questions and there were many things that she wanted to talk about, and I could feel that.

She wanted a long talk, but I had just woken up from the... three-month long nap?

Three months?

That was some unbelievable thing and seeing that she just said it like it was nothing, she was here all the time.

To have taken care of a peculiar child like me for such a long time...

Was it just because of her curiosity, or was there something else in her mind?

Who, or better, what… was she?

These questions weren't something that I could keep to myself for longer than now.

So...

The talk had to start, and I was happy to ask the first question.

"So, grandma? What... are you?"
