Chapter 135: Welco
“W-What?! Lloyd’s grandfather is the Future Star?!”
“A treasure is right in front of , and I pity myself for now knowing!” Fama said regretfully. He would have slapped himself if there were not so many people present.
He quickly turned around and recomposed himself, wanting to repeat the entire act he perford for Mill. No, he felt the need to make it more exaggerated and emotional than before because he had misread the situation.
anwhile, Lloyd could not hide his excitent when he saw Moss walking in. He imdiately approached Moss the first chance he got.
Moss was also thrilled when he saw his grandfather. He quickly greeted Lloyd, “Grandpa! I missed you so much!”
“Hello, Moss! I missed you too!” Lloyd felt like the happiest grandfather in the world when he hugged his grandson, whom he had thought about day and night.
Michaeli was utterly dumbfounded when he saw this. He felt like he was dreaming even though he was not.
‘Moss is just a knight, so how could he be Mill’s captain and be the first to kill the Mystic Realm Bosses? He’s also the Future Star?! That’s even more unlikely! He cos from a low-inco family, so how could he…’
At that thought, he quickly went to a corner and dialed his housekeeper’s number. “Old Mi, hurry up and find out who this year’s Future Star is!”
A frantic voice ca from the other end of the call a mont later, “I-It’s Moss, Master Michaeli.”
“W-What?! So it’s true then.” Michaeli could not believe what he heard and collapsed into a chair after hanging up the phone.
He was shocked, but his mind raced as he thought, ‘I-I was the fool all along! I’ve utterly embarrassed myself. How am I supposed to face Lloyd now?!’
anwhile, Mili, who stood on the sidelines, felt his anger flaring up.
“I’m so happy today! We’ll eat in a while, okay?” Lloyd was relieved to see his grandson return to him unscathed. Moreover, Moss had achieved unimaginable goals.
Lloyd smiled widely and raised his two white eyebrows. He had long forgotten about the past and things others did to him, only wanting to enjoy everyone’s company.
If it were not for this occasion, Michaeli would continue to ridicule Lloyd. However, he only wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
‘I feel like I fell into a trench. I want to go ho,’ Michaeli thought.
Although he felt bitter, he had to pretend to be a sweet old man in front of everyone present, so he approached Lloyd and said with a fake sense of sincerity, “Congratulations, Lloyd. I’m delighted you have such an excellent grandson like Moss. It’s so lively here, but I have urgent matters to deal with at ho. Old Mi called a few tis and urged to go ho. I’ll celebrate with you another day when you don’t have company.”
Then he hugged Lloyd, turned around, and left with Mili.
Fama saw Michaeli leaving, so he tactfully followed suit. But before he left, he reperford his entire act for Moss. Moreover, he was even more emotional that ti as he even shed tears.
He promised to report Moss’s excellent performance in the professional competition to the villagers and that he would also reward Lloyd with a spot in the village’s hall of fa.
Lloyd smiled even wider when the outsiders left. “Welco to my ho, children! Although the countryside can’t compare to the city, it’s enough to have a small ho to return to.”
“Moss, please accompany your friends. You can give them a tour of the area while I finish making dinner.” Lloyd approached the kitchen as he spoke.
“Let cook, Grandpa. You can rest a while.”
“Oh, I’m not tired or anything. Don’t argue with , Moss,” Lloyd said, arms akimbo, “Have fun, kids! Moss will show you around to experience the local customs!” He smiled at the children, patted Moss’s shoulder, and went into the kitchen.
“M-Moss, you can cook?!” After hearing such an exciting thing, Mill was even more excited than when Moss won the Future Star award. She could not help but look at Moss in shock.
…
Moss led The Guardians to check out the familiar yet unfamiliar village. He hadn’t had this much fun since he started school. Moreover, he was with his teammates this ti, and as a person who had lived two lifetis, he sighed in contentnt as he thought this was all there was to living a good life.
What surprised him the most was several people who had never spoken to him before, and people he had never t started taking the initiative to greet and speak highly of him.
Along the way, he would hear things like, “You have a promising future, Moss!”, “I’ve always known this child would be outstanding!”, “Our village produced a Future Star!”
It seed that Fama was an efficient village chief.
The Guardians got hungry after a round of sightseeing, so they returned to Lloyd’s house. They imdiately slled the fragrant food when they entered the house and could no longer suppress their hunger.
They didn’t care about family statuses, Mystic Realms, or competitions as they passionately enjoyed the village life and delicious food.
“This is scrumptious and fragrant!”
“Another bowl, please!”
“Hey, save so for , Alan!”
…
Other than joy and laughter, The Guardians spoke a lot. Of course, the most talkative one was Alan. Not only was he having fun, but he was also eating well.
More precisely, he felt aggrieved because the past few days of raiding the Mystic Realm had been awful for his stomach. Therefore, he could not miss the chance to eat whatever delicacies before him.
“The food you cooked is delicious, sir! Can I visit more often?” Alan was willing to risk everything for the food Lloyd made
There was a charming smile on his chubby face as he looked straight at Lloyd. He looked like he would not stop until Lloyd agreed to let him visit more often and cook for him.
“Can you be a little more reserved, Alan? You have your own family!”
“You ate most of the food, Alan! You must bring your own next ti you visit, or none of us will have food!”
…
Lloyd was thrilled when he heard the children’s words. “I’m delighted that you all ca here. Of course, you’re welco to visit as often as you like! But you must tell before you do so I can prepare myself!”
Everyone laughed until their stomachs hurt when they heard that.
