Chapter 261 Our New Home (2)
"Hello~ uncle Mel~! Aunty Ni~! We are back~!."
She chuckled happily as she usually did, and a warm smile appeared on two of their faces.
"Welcome back young lady Anna~!" Lady Nissa answered in a cheerful tone and the knight caption on the other side just winked at her.
And my dear little sister winked back... cute!!!
She looked adorable while blinking like that!
And looking at her wink, the other servants can't help but chuckle while covering their mouths like that.
She was just adorable and from the looks of things... she actually was the ruler of this place, hm?
But, in the middle of these cheerful laughs, grandpa walked forward and looked at me.
There was an excited smile on his face as he nodded at me and I knew this was the intro time.
I walked forward, but Rein wasn't letting go of these joint hands now, with that same smirk on her face that hadn't given up just yet.
'Now? Really?' I asked with a calm and helpless smile and she just smiled or smirked, the same with her eyes excited about something.
'Eon... everyone is watching.' She said and... ah, this little witch.
Every single one of the servants, even the ones in the shadows, of them, had a sudden surprise-filled blank expression as they looked at 'us'.
Every one of them was an adult and more than that, they were 'experienced' people.
And it didn't require a genius to understand the relationship between the young lady of the house of Atraxia, who was also a bloodthirsty witch secretly, and a young hero who every one of them knew about.
The knight caption almost choked when he saw we were talking through eyes, one of the most intimate forms of conversation.
And as he knew Rein on a personal level, I could very well understand that reaction.
Well, grandpa called me forward. We had to finish this play soon.
'Suit yourself then...'
Saying just that much, I walked forward, dragging her with me.
And this time, she just followed with a smile on her pretty face.
"You bastard..."
"Shuddup."
Our voices were low and only the two in the front heard it, but after I said that, she actually fell silent.
Standing before all these people in servant uniform, the essential part of this family, I looked every one of them in the eye who had a suddenly serious expression.
They all were looking me back in the eye, unlike how the typical servants should look at their master.
And grandpa just laughed at their reaction.
But then, even before he could open his mouth to explain to his dear people, Carla spoke up from behind.
He pushed me there, and then just finished the fight in minutes, with him taking no damage at all."
And as soon as she finished, Alf spoke up with the same admiration-filled voice.
"His magic is gorgeous. Even master Arina can't help but openly admire his spells.
They are super powerful, unlike anything I had seen.
And they are his spells.
Something even I would need weeks, maybe months, to understand and learn.
And after I read his personal notes of basic magic theory... I can say without a doubt his understanding of magic far surpasses even the academy professor's books.
Just... amazing."
Every one of their eyes widened in surprise, the two in the front being the most surprised ones.
But their surprise was just going to grow even more.
"As everyone knows, he is the one who invented the ice cream as well as most of the things served at <Eon's new food> and after eating the two new sweets he made yesterday... that lavish yet simple flavor... I know he has definitely surpassed me in terms of cooking."
This was my grandmother naturally, and the chefs and kitchen maids in the white uniforms were shocked beyond belief at what they were hearing.
And just hearing this fact was enough for all of them to acknowledge me, but... the major blow was still left.
"Hohoho. You all know already just how amazing he is, so why all this?
And, just so you know, these two aren't the only ones who fought him.
We all know master Merlin and his weird kink to fight strong young ones.
He came there too and especially took Eon's test for the academy admission.
And after seeing him use his magic, as well as his battle senses, he couldn't help but admire him.
To tell you something unbelievable... master Merlin used physical punch in that fight and not only did this boy block those attacks, but he also counter-attacked in the split second he was airborne with a special attack that blocked his Mana for that moment.
And then, he had no choice but to use the last spell, accepting he lose in that fight.
An amazing battle that we couldn't help but just watch with wide-open eyes.
That bas- ahem! Master merlin was surprised, unlike anyone I know, and this boy, Axion Heliox Kromet, is so perfect, I don't think you could find someone better than him to serve under.
And you mannerless bunch…
Show some respect to someone who's visiting their home for the first time in almost twelve years of their life."
And after that last line, they suddenly remembered something and bowed their heads to me all at once.
"WELCOME BACK MASTER EON!!"
They all shouted at once and when I said they, I was counting the ones in the shadow who were shocked by grandpa Zhen's sudden appearance and low-voiced words.
Well, he might have said something like: 'He even saw through my stealth'.
And it was true, though. I can see through his 'passive' stealth.
But that wasn't the point right now.
They had acknowledged me, a stranger who they were meeting for the first time with their master.
Not the young master. A master likes my dad and uncles.
And they all standing behind me can't help their warm smiles.
I was finally here, after the long journey of almost six years.
I was here, with this big family of mine, but there was someone else grandfather had to introduce.
