Magi’s Grandson

Vol 1 Chapter 9

Moving to the Royal Capital

I came to know of a shocking truth.

Grandpa and grandma were formerly a married couple.

Wait, I thought both of them had a relations.h.i.+p that didnt have any restraint towards each other. But to think they were really a couple

In addition, it was formerly, I wonder what happened. I wanted to ask about it, but I couldnt, and I felt somewhat depressed.

Well, when the time comes, they will tell me, so Ill wait until then.

While I was thinking of this and that, we were doing relocation work. But because theres something called extra-dimensional storage s.p.a.ce, packing was super easy. In this world, the moving industry is probably monopolized by Magicians.

The packing of things finished in the blink of an eye, and soon it was time to depart for the royal capital. I looked forward to the life that awaits in the capital.

But since I have lived in this house for more than 10 years ever since the day grandpa picked me up, I felt a little attached to it.

By the way, it seems like this house will be left as it is. Because a barrier preventing intruders and maintains its condition was put up, it seems like it wont even deteriorate. Hurray for magic.

Incidentally, this magic tool was prepared by grandma Melinda.

The grandma who always took care of us one way or another.

Because of that, I tried to suggest this proposal.

Grandpa, how big is the house in the royal capital?

Now that I think about it, since it was bestowed by the country, its quite big. However, I dont quite remember how many rooms it has.

Seriously?

Haa, this grandpa The number of rooms is 20, and theres a hall that can accommodate a small evening party, in addition to a huge reception room. There are a big fireplace and a living room that has a sofa where 10 people can sit. Theres also the dining room for 20 people, and a bath. After that, theres a galley instead of a kitchen.

Seriously, that big!?

Grandma knows about it quite well, huh.

Of course, since I was together with this grandpa for a while. We got that mansion when we were together, so I also lived there, too.

Is that so? Um, well, grandma?

Hmm? What is it?

Wont you also live together with us, grandma?

Buffon!! [Choking sound.]

Wha! Wha-wha-what are you saying!

Grandpa spluttered the tea he was drinking and shouted out a certain goalkeepers name*, while grandma also shouted and turned bright red.

[T/N: Please refer toGianluigi Buffon.]

After all, since grandma already know so much about the mansions layout, it means that when you guys were living together, the one who managed things at home was grandma, wasnt it? It would help if grandma, who knows about the details of the mansion, to be there.

Glances

Im just a bit uneasy about living together with grandpa in such a big house.

Glances

I just want grandma to help us.

Glances

Ah~ah, fine! This child, it cant be helped. I understand already, Ill live together with you both.

Really!? I did it!!

s.h.i.+n are you really that worried about being together with me

Sorry grandpa. Its not really like that, but I just wanted grandma to also live together with us, after all.

So far, I was being thoughtful towards grandpa and didnt say anything, but now that I know what the situation was, it was probably okay. It wasnt as though I wanted it to go back to how it used to be, but it was because I thought of grandpa and grandma as my real grandparents. I only wanted to live together with both of them.

Because of that, since grandma was also going to live together with us, all three of us headed towards the royal capital.

Since I can only use gate to go to places I recognized, we traveled there by using a horse-drawn carriage. This carriage was prepared by Uncle Tom. The carriage had a canopy* installed, and we could rest under it.

[T/N: Please use google image to search for Oregon Trail Wagon.]

Well, since it only takes a day to reach the royal capital, we probably wont need it.

Or rather, since the King of a whole nation frequently came to our house, it shouldnt take that many days to get there. Or perhaps, should I say that it seems when grandpa retired, he was asked not to go somewhere far away.

Uncle Dis

Well then, Ill be omitting the journey to the royal capital.

After all, nothing in particular happened.

The only hard part of the trip was me trying to hold back my sleepiness due to the nice sunlight and the rocking of the carriage.

Finally, the royal capital came into view.

After lining up at the end of a long line that started from the gate, it was finally our turn.

Do you have your identification papers?

The soldier, who was managing the entrance admission to the capital, asked.

Identification papers?

Hoho, I wonder if this will do?

Here you go.

When grandpa and grandma said those words, they took out their identification papers. Ooi! What about mine?
