“My na is Garid. I am the leader of the Crimson Aegis. Try calling Garid oppa*.”
“…Uncle.”
“…Uncle.”
“Uncle.”
“…Isn’t it a bit shaless to ask soone your age to call you oppa*?”
“Kuh…!”
*(“Oppa” is a Korean term that ans “older brother” and is used by younger won to address older n)
When I first t Garid, I used to call him Uncle.
From my not-so-long life in the slums, I learned a few things, including that not everyone is kind, and that you shouldn’t blindly trust soone just because they show you goodwill.
At that ti, the armor Garid wore was emblazoned with the emblem of the Crimson Aegis, shaped like red flas, but living in the slums, I had no way of recognizing that.
To begin with, the na “Crimson Aegis” was just sothing I had heard in passing through rumors.
“Kana, would you like to co under my wing as my adopted daughter?”
“…?”
“Ah, ‘adopted daughter’ ans a child that has been adopted—”
“I know what it ans.”
“Oh, is that so? So, do you have any thoughts on it?”
“…That’s quite sudden. Why all of a sudden…?”
“This is also fate, isn’t it? I admired how the little kid kept fighting against the monsters until the end. And it seems you have so talent too.”
“….”
“To be honest, I don’t know if I can be a good dad. I probably won’t be able to. But I’ll make sure you can live without getting your hands dirty. I may look like this, but I have a lot of money.”
“Adopted daughter…. Okay, I’ll do it.”
“Oh, really? You will never regret it. Now, let’s start calling dad. Co on, repeat after . Dad.”
“Uncle.”
“….”
As I beca Garid’s adopted daughter, over ti, our bond grew stronger.
“…Garid.”
“Uh, yeah?”
“You said you’d keep my hands clean. Is what’s currently on my hands not water?”
“Haha, I’m sorry! I lack cooking skills.”
“…Why aren’t you cleaning up?”
“Since it’s going to get dirty anyway, is there really a need to do it often? I can just do it when it gets unbearable. Hahaha!”
“….”
“….”
“Garid.”
“Uh, huh?”
“Die.”
“Wait a minute. KANAA?!”
As I began to trust him more, the way I called Garid shifted from “Uncle” to his na.
“Hey, Kana!”
“Commander, what brings you here?”
“Is there a place I can’t go to? More importantly, stop calling Commander and just call Dad, will you? Or just call by my na like usual!”
“Commander, please keep personal and professional matters separate.”
“Oh dear… You really think you’re so special, don’t you? Just go ahead and take the Commander position then… cough cough!”
“…Commander!”
“Oh, great. Here we go again. Don’t make such a fuss, Kana. It’s not like this is the first ti it’s happened.”
“…How about just taking a break?”
“Can’t do that. I’d refuse to let you take the position of Commander. I can’t just hand over this sweet spot to you.”
“Sweet spot? You an being told to bark when told and bite when ordered?”
“That’s why I can’t give it to you. You’d definitely jump into a fight at the slightest inconvenience. How could I ever pass this position to you?”
When Garid first entered the Crimson Aegis and rose to the position of vice-commander, he was called Commander.
He still used their nas in private settings, though.
“Cough cough!”
“Garid….”
“Hey, don’t worry…. I have no plans to die before I see you get married and have kids….”
“Then you’re saying you’d die with when I do?”
“Hey, that’s not right! Even if you don’t have kids, you still need to get married. Dying alone would be too lonely.”
“But you’re not married either, Garid.”
“Yeah, but I have a daughter. A daughter who has grown up beautifully and makes proud.”
“…Hmph.”
Due to the aftereffects of injuries sustained from the ‘snake’, Garid’s condition gradually worsened until he could no longer get up from his sickbed.
“…I’m sorry. I wanted to see you get married, but… it seems I can’t keep that promise.”
“…You never promised anything in the first place, right?”
“Haha, is that so…? Then I’m relieved….”
“Garid….”
“…Kana.”
“…”
“…Canaria.”
“…Yeah.”
“…My proud daughter, Kana. I love you.”
“…I love you too, Dad….”
What is it about just saying “Dad” that feels so embarrassing?
It was only in the mont of farewell that I could reveal the feelings I had kept hidden.
***
Recently, if you were to ask people which broadcast is the most popular on Fishick, they would undoubtedly point to one specific show.
Joanie’s Broadcast Shining at #1 in Real-Ti Viewer Rankings.
So might say it’s only natural for her to be popular with such high viewer counts, but the massive gap between her stream and the one in second place every ti she goes live wasn’t just a coincidence.
And that was made possible by the Gravekeeper… now known by the na Canaria Grasis.
There was a suspicion that the developer might have downed a few bottles of alcohol when creating this absurdly difficult raid. A tomb adorned with a magnificent sword, cutting down all who co near it while outright rejecting humans.
It was clear to everyone that there was a deep story behind it, and people were captivated.
When the once-grumpy Kana finally opened her heart and revealed her na, it caused so viewers to smile warmly without realizing it.
Viewers were so engrossed in the process of Joanie becoming friends with Kana that they felt as if it was happening to them.
When Kana stood in front of the grave and uttered the word “Dad,” they had no thoughts in their minds.
This was because they couldn’t understand.
Even with the familiarity of a ga in English, people were desperate for a Korean patch. But very few managed to learn the language of the ga world, Granick, which was far more unfamiliar.
And it wasn’t just the locals.
Pronunciation, way of thinking, grammar, etc…. People are inherently optimized for the language of their native country, making it quite challenging to suddenly learn a different one.
— “Gas are supposed to be fun, so why do I have to study in a ga?”
For those reasons, many people either gave up on learning Granick or only morized a few easy words.
However, not everyone was like that; so viewers, including Joanie and a few players, consistently studied Granick, allowing them to interpret Kana’s words.
“She said ‘Dad’…”
— ‘Gasp’
— ‘Gasp’
— Oh my god!!!
— Not my baby!!!awww
It might be a word that slipped out due to suddenly missing her dad.
But standing before the grave and speaking with eyes that looked like they might burst into tears, could one really think that?
Unless you were utterly oblivious, it was a scene that left no choice but to shut your mouth.
[No, you bastards]
Are you even human?? To steal from a child like that? Are you really trying to steal the belongings of her dad right in front of her?
[Comnts]
—? Why is this dude suddenly going crazy?
┗ Is it ti for his ds?
┗ (Link) Go check it out
┗ What is this?
┗ You bastards; how can you act like that and still be human?
┗ What a quick change of pace
Kana calling out “Dad” in front of the grave and the sword stuck there.
It was only natural to assu that sword was her father’s keepsake.
[I didn’t know!]
I didn’t know it was a keepsake…! Did I expect that to happen? Damn it; If I had known, I wouldn’t have acted that way.
[Comnts]
— Isn’t it normal to think that if sothing is stuck in a grave, it’s a relic?
┗ You just can’t resist Excalibur.
┗ Hey, don’t say that!
┗ You really believe that?
— Are you watching, Indiana Jones?
┗ ??? : What the hell, don’t drag into this;
— Even in our industry, this is a bit…
In the middle of a lively argunt, the mood changed to silence whenever a ntion of parents ca up—this was, in technical terms, a situation where they beca tallulah (stunned silence).
The post written by the person who first discovered Canaria was bombarded with criticism, and soon, the targets of their ire beca the engineering students who were just trying to run for Perclun.
Caught off guard by the sudden attack, they expressed their grievances.
[No, I wasn’t trying to steal anything!]
I just wanted to participate in the raid—
Don’t associate with them!!!!!!!!
[Comnts]
— So you an you just wanted to beat up a girl who lost her father at a young age and lives alone?
┗ Wait a minute!
┗ Wow, what trash.
┗ Wow, what trash.
┗ That’s not true!!!
— Officer, this guy is the one!
— There’s no trash like this in the world.
[Honestly, this is just an RPG rule.]
Didn’t everyone do this when playing RPGs as a kid?
When you find an open house, you’d go in to loot it, and if there were jars or empty boxes, you’d break them.
You didn’t know the backstory; if it looked sowhat interesting, you’d want to interact with it, right?
[Comnts]
— Dude; the level of freedom is different.
— These days, in other gas, if you loot in front of soone, you get arrested.
┗ Isn’t that normal?
┗ Old gas didn’t have that.
— The author is currently imprisoned in the imperial jail; please take down the post.
┗ How did you know?
┗ I was caught while looting a house and was thrown into jail right away.
┗ What is this situation?
┗ So you couldn’t just loot without getting caught? LOL
While there were a few people genuinely cursing, most took it as a funny incident.
After so ti filled with laughter and chatter, posts about war or Canaria started appearing little by little.
[The ones who are the most pitiful right now are]
The outlaws, of course.
(The Knights of the Lo Arka Empire.jpg)
The knights ca and cheered for their victory, but
(Canaria’s complete annihilation.jpg)
They were all wiped out in an instant, LOL.
It’s honestly absurd even to look back on it;
To think that even the rank 1 player was struggling and got wiped out in one hit—how strong could that possibly be?
[As of today, the idol of Silia is Canaria!]
(Canaria appears.gif)
(Canaria’s complete annihilation.gif)
(Canaria laughing.gif)
(Canaria fighting Yuki.gif)
A goat that’s both cute and strong…
Looking at her again, she’s incredibly adorable;
I want to give her a candy and pat her head.
[Comnts]
— Pedophile! Pedophile!
— uhh… (dials 911)
— Ugh, this is a bit too much…?
— (Canaria in shock pose)
┗ ??? The pose is already out?
┗ (Canaria nodding pose)
[But am I the only one thinking this?]
Isn’t she the strongest NPC to co out so far? That could be reasonable.
But isn’t it weird for a kid who could just be a middle schooler to defeat well-trained knights?
And not just barely win, but completely wipe them out with just two swings?
It’s clear that the ga developers were being too obvious about it, which turned off a bit.
[Comnts]
— I agree; I feel a bit off about it too.
┗ It’s not just a bit off, it’s a lot.
┗ Shut up, damn it.
— It does lack so plausibility.
┗ Not just so.
— Maybe she’s a polymorphed dragon?
┗ So she was Grasis, huh;
┗ It was a deus ex machina situation;
┗ What the hell does that an, you nerd?
┗ The nerds are getting excited and using impressive words again.
Regardless of all this, it was undeniable that Canaria had beco a popular figure in the community.
