Chapter 403 A new house

403 A new house

It took a long time for the due to travel to their destination. Then changed locations from a desert to a fertile land, one that was cold most of the time but had a lot of green land. Reyn was told that they have moved to the north, where the weather is chilly due to it being close to the polar.

While traveling the long way, Mister Roy didn't stop the little kid's education. He taught him a lot of things from reading and writing to calculating and other stuff. Reyn was gradually starting to understand what Mister Roy was doing as well. "Mmm mmm mmm~" the child, that was much taller compared to when he first met Roy two years ago, energetically drew a triangle in the ground using a stick. "Sooo we are going to make two more buildings so that they'll make a triangle?"

"...How did you reach that conclusion?"

Slapping the notebook in his hands close, the red-haired man shot a scowl at the kid.

"Uh, I- ummm..." Reyn clasped his hands and looked away. "I-I guessed..."

"You peeked at my notebooks!?"

"I didn't mean to! They were left open and I saw some of the notes while passing!"

"Reyn!!!"

At the man's shout, tears welled up in the kid's eyes immediately. "I'm sorry..."

"..." The red-haired mister shook his head with a sigh. "Don't touch my books or notes without permission ever again."

"Yeah..." After a brief silence, the pouting child asked again, "But why shouldn't I read them?"

"They are dangerous."

"Dangerous?" Reyn tilted his head. "But they were just some calculations and patterns? What's so dangerous and forbidden about them?"

"You won't get it unless you understand those formulas."

"I understand. They weren't that complicated! I just don't know anything about the power of the source that was written everywhere."

"...."

Roy paused his actions and frowned even more. Seeing the expression, the kid clasped his hands once again in fear, ready to apologize, but to his surprise, his mister didn't get mad at him but asked with clear doubt, "You understood them?"

"Be still."

"Okaayy..."

Reyn crawled his way back and settled down beside his mister, watching the man draw shapes and lines in the ground. . . . . . . . .

With the sound of the birds chirping, the young boy yawned before opening his eyes. His body, which seemed to have been beaten a few times while asleep, more tired than the last night when he went to bed, trembled slightly as he sat up. For a second, the world spun around him before becoming still again. This has been happening a lot recently so Reyn wasn't surprised. "Uh, I..." The child rubbed his eyes as he removed the blanket over him, trying to get up. "I guess I came here last night..."

11:41

"Uh..."

"Why were you sleeping here? When did you come?"

He jolted up at the voice that came from behind his back and looked back. Mister Roy was leaning on the wall, arms folded, staring at the kid who was, instead of being in his own room, sleeping in the redhead's bed.

"Uh, I..." The child rubbed his eyes as he removed the blanket over him, trying to get up. "I guess I came here last night..."

"You've been sneaking inside my bed and sticking to my side at night recently."

"Mmm..."

"Why?"

"I don't, ah!" Before being able to stand up, Rey stumbled and plopped to the ground. "....Are you not feeling well?"

Shake shake

"What's the matter?"

Coming close to examine, Roy helped the kid up before checking his condition. "I don't know. It hurts, but when Mister is around, it doesn't, just like back then... I guess I came here in my sleep to be near Mister because of that."

"...."

Hearing the child's murmurs, a frown formed on the redhead's face, yet he didn't say anything else and just helped the child fall back asleep.
