Chapter 153.2. Present From Grandpa
“What is this…? Is it a wooden ring?”
Papa and mama, who opened the small rectangular box that seemed to contain a tie, looked puzzled.
Inside was a palm-sized, simple wooden ring. At first glance, it seemed like a shabby ring.
“Yeah, it’s a Magic Wooden Ring! I learned how to make it from the oden shop grandpa, and we made it together. It increases defense power by 30!”
“Yeah. …… Grandpa Oden shop again? Isn’t this a great thing?”
“He said it’s nothing special because usually, he makes rings with resistance effects!”
In games, accessories that only increase defense power weren’t used when reaching a high level. However, I prepared it because it would have an effect in reality. The source is the oden shop grandpa.
-Magic Wooden Ring: Level 40, Defense Power +30-
“I see… Oh, it fits perfectly when I put it on my finger.”
When mama put it on her index finger, it shrunk to a perfect fit.
“Wow. ……. That seems precious. Hey, Mii-chan? Is Grandpa Oden, the druid magician we met at the castle the other day, by any chance?”
Papa, who was surprised by the ring that automatically adjusted to the wearer’s size, asked. It’s good. He noticed.
“The one-eyed old magician who uses a spear. The one who gave us Geri and Freki, the oden shop. The symbol that represents Odin matches.”
Seeing Geri and Freki, the puppies happily eat their dog food in the corner of the living room and wag their tails. Papa hesitantly voiced his guess.
Papa knew about the myth of Odin because he learned about it when I entrusted Geri and Freki, so I had hoped he would come to that conclusion.
Whether it was a joke or just a curiosity, I had planned to react if he mentioned it. As expected, Mii-chan’s papa, he boldly spoke it out. He’s smart!
“Hehe. Grandpa told me to keep it a secret, but it’s true!”
Mii-chan replied with her little hand covering her mouth, saying it was a secret.
“So, it was true. Why an oden restaurant?”
“Because I didn’t have money. So I went to work there? He praised me for becoming a good magician! That’s why he took me as his disciple!”
“I see… Well, we should thank him next time.”
“He has a request for you, papa, and mama. I also received a letter!”
I said, pulling out a slightly crumpled letter from my pocket.
“Come on. You should give those to us earlier. Let’s see, ‘Due to the extraordinary ability of Takano Miu, who became my disciple. There is a danger to her life if things remain as they are. I will send a senior disciple. You can hire them as a guard, or if you prefer, you can return them as they are.’.”
Papa read the letter while nodding, and mama leaned over to look.
“Huh?! A senior disciple? But the contact information isn’t written here?”
Papa was surprised, and turned the letter over, checking if it had any contact information.
“I have their contact information!”
“Oh, I see. Then let’s plan to meet next time.”
“Yeah! They’re all nice people! They’re staying at a hotel and asked me to contact them as soon as possible!”
“Oh no! You should’ve mentioned that earlier. You’re relying on them. Can you give me their contact information?”
“Sure. Here’s the phone number.”
As I handed him the paper with the contact information, papa quickly took his smartphone and hurriedly made the call.
“Ah, I’m sorry. This is Takano Yoshiyuki speaking. Yes, yes, it’s about Miu. Ah, I see. Is that so? Alright then…”
After finishing the call, Papa with a puzzled expression, looked at Mama and Miu.
“What’s wrong with you? Did the other person get angry?”
Mama becomes worried, thinking the other person might have been angry because Miu didn’t give them the letter and left it neglected. But papa shakes his head and denies it.
“No, we arranged to meet tomorrow afternoon. It will be after Mii-chan comes back from school.”
“Oh, then I need to prepare some tea and snacks.”
“Well, yes, that’s true, but there are 3 disciples. It appears that they have also asked us to make them our guard. I’m not sure what to do.”
Papa is confused, but we continue the Christmas party until the next day. We meet them.
The present for Miu was a wolf plushie animal. Yay!
Then, the next day.
In the reception room, papa, mama, and Miu meet with the disciples.
“I’m Yamate Gamon. I’ve been ordered to be the escort for Takano Yoshiyuki-sama.”
A man in his late twenties with messy brown hair, stubble, and a katana hanging from his waist bows his head.
“I’m Yamate Matsu. I have been ordered to provide security for Takano Mirei-sama and the mansion.”
A beautiful woman with black hair and black eyes, dressed in a shrine maiden outfit, bows with graceful manners.
“And I’m Ei, Ada, grandpa’s best disciple. Lakeside House, Mizuno Nimue. I have won to become the guardian of Takano Miu-sama.”
A blue-haired woman with semi-long hair and blue eyes, matching Miu’s eyes, proudly smiles as she bows her head.
“The three of us look forward to working with you. Please take care of us.”
Nimue, as the leader, represents them and requests papa.
