【020】
The moment I thought that, Iliad sprang to his feet and crawled under the Dining Table.
Though I was startled, the Household Master Grandfather watched with an amused chuckle, so no one said anything.
“Heave-ho!”
“…!”
A few seconds later.
I stared blankly at Iliad, who had lifted this massive Dining Table and was grinning with absolute confidence.
It was truly monstrous strength that needed no explanation.
* * *
“I’m going to become a Vice-Admiral later.”
Shortly after.
I switched seats with Nein Uncle.
I was talking with the Iliad and Naiad twins, while Uncle was conversing with the Admiral.
“Cool, right? The Admiral will probably be my older brother Mikard, so I’ll support him from his side.”
“Is Mikard older brother stronger?”
“Yeah. My older brother Mikard is incredible. Really amazing.”
Iliad enthusiastically explained about Mikard.
But Iliad had just lifted the Dining Table.
How could anyone be stronger than that?!
“Well, I’ve never beaten him.”
“Hey, I almost won once.”
When Naiad chimed in smugly, Iliad immediately retorted.
But he still didn’t say he actually won.
“I’m curious about Mikard older brother.”
Does he know I have a new younger sibling?
Will he like me?
Elzen older brother is only a little close with me.
“He’ll be back soon. It’s just taking time for him to return from the edge of Radum Mountain.”
“Radum Mountain?”
“You know, the mountain at the western edge of the Fasayen Territory. Where it borders Belarion.”
Now that I think about it, I think I’ve seen it on a map.
Since I wasn’t particularly interested in geography, it was hard to recall immediately, but I still understood what he meant.
“I wish he’d come home soon.”
“Yeah. He’d return easily alone, but there are people who went with him.”
I should ask what kind of mission it was later.
But is it okay to ask?
“Then, will Chuuu also get a mission later?”
“Well, it depends on what kind of ability you have.”
Iliad answered my question cheerfully.
Then he held up three fingers.
“Look, see? Mikard and I excel at close combat. People like us take on solo missions frequently. We’re called tanks.”
“Mm.”
“But for group missions, we need ability users who provide support from the rear—those with long-range weapons or auxiliary abilities. They’re called dealers.”
Iliad folded down two fingers as he spoke.
“And the last one?”
“Healers. With a Resonant on our side, Fasayen is invincible. We’ve never lost a territorial war.”
“Wow.”
Now that I thought about it, I’d heard that our current Resonant was Grandmother.
Though I’d never actually met her.
“But the Resonant can’t leave the Territory carelessly. Since territorial wars can break out anytime, she’s the most precious person we must protect.”
“Mm.”
“So when we go on group missions, we bring an awakened one with healing abilities. You could become that kind of healer.”
I wondered what ability I would awaken to.
My heart swelled with anticipation.
‘I want to receive missions too.’
I wanted to be useful to the Household.
“If Chuuu becomes a healer, I’ll protect everyone who’s eaten at this Dining Table with me.”
“Oh, you absolutely will!”
As I clenched my fists in determination, Nein Uncle turned to me with a bright face and patted my head repeatedly.
The Admiral was also smiling faintly.
“Yes. As an awakened one and as a member of Fasayen, protecting this land and Sea is a glorious duty.”
“Yes!”
“Already thinking of fighting enemies. How admirable.”
Of course, it’s best if there’s no conflict at all. Even better if we can reconcile!
But if we must fight to the end… I won’t hold back.
“I won’t stay still.”
“Right. Enemies who don’t know their place must be defeated. Like this.”
Crash!
It happened in an instant.
So fast my eyes couldn’t even follow.
“Ah, I was trying to handle that!”
“Stay back, Iliad. This isn’t your place yet.”
Iliad let out a complaint, and Nein Uncle cautioned him.
I couldn’t understand what was happening and could only blink, and it seemed Angela was in the same boat.
“Tsk, eating a meal shouldn’t be this troublesome.”
Then, Household Master Grandfather clicked his tongue softly.
His expression turned stern as he gazed at something. I followed his gaze.
“Huh?”
There lay a black-masked figure—unmistakably a villain—sprawled on the ground.
And not just one, but three of them.
The Admiral had his foot on one of their heads, but when our eyes met, he quietly withdrew it.
[The Flame Spirit King ‘■■■■■’ explains that those wretches have been hiding in the shadows since the start of the meal.]
‘Ugh, really? I had no idea!’
[The Water Spirit King ‘■■■■’ assures you that it’s fine since the adults will handle it anyway.]
‘So they’re villains?’
[The Flame Spirit King ‘■■■■■’ says it was an enemy attack.]
Thanks to the shimmering letters, I barely managed to understand the situation.
“During dinner, they didn’t even touch Chuuu!”
As I cried out watching the masked figures being dragged away, the tense atmosphere that had frozen over shattered once more.
Household Master Grandfather burst into laughter with a hearty “Wahaha!”
“That’s right, utterly rude fellows. That’s how the Belarion lot behaves.”
It seems Fasayen and Belarion must have a poor relationship.
Scratching my cheek, I reached for the leftover dessert.
Startled as I was, my stomach seemed hungry again.
“Superti,”
That was when it happened.
Household Master Grandfather suddenly called my name, and I quickly swallowed what I was eating.
“It seems you’ve grown close to Iliad and Naiad. I hear you’ve also met Elzen. Then the only one here you don’t know must be Angela.”
Well, that’s not quite right.
‘I actually had a bit of a quarrel with Angela.’
But since Angela stayed quiet, I stayed quiet too.
“That child’s name is Angela. She’s your cousin.”
“Yes.”
Was he about to tell me to get along with her?
“You all know this well. Fasayen has significantly fewer Resonants compared to other households.”
Household Master Grandfather’s gaze left me as he looked around at everyone and spoke with solemn gravity.
“Though we need not worry about foreign invasions since we possess the Sea as a natural fortress below, conflicts both great and small continue to occur at Fasayen’s borders that connect to the Capital.”
“….”
“Even a single Resonant is precious in these times. Do not forget. Regardless of origin, any Resonant is adopted into Fasayen and equals those of you born of Fasayen’s bloodline.”
Grandfather’s gaze fixed on Aunt Cecilia. She seemed uncomfortable, her brow furrowing, but she offered no rebuttal.
“Angela, since you’re closest in age, cherish your younger cousin and guide her well.”
“Yes, great Grandfather.”
Angela answered obediently, and with that, the meal came to an end.
* * *
The Fasayen Successor Education Center.
Currently, seventeen children attend this place.
They are the grandchildren of the Household Master, or the grandchildren of the Household Master’s siblings, including adopted children.
All of them either possessed a Viju seat or were already awakened Resonants, for non-Resonants had to receive separate education from private tutors at home.
This was because the very purpose of the Successor Education Center was never about academics.
Traditionally, the ‘class leader’ of each generation becomes the Sub-Household Master of the next.
The ‘Class Representative’ led the other Resonant children while simultaneously being an object of admiration and a rival.
Their mere existence became the benchmark and pillar of support for that generation of Resonants.
Having naturally assumed the role of leading Resonants from such a young age, whenever generational change occurred and a new Household Master took over, the Family could continue operating without major disruption.
Then what role did the Vice-Representative play?
It was a position to substitute for the busy Class Representative due to individual assignments, and a place to learn leadership.
Resonants are assigned to key positions within the Family once they turn fifteen.
To lead an organization with ease at that point, one must possess leadership ability.
Though I explained it at such length, it could have been condensed into a single sentence.
A battle of adult pride!
In other words, my child is better than yours!
