Chapter 16: The first step towards the dream (7)
Shirone took his parents and headed to the reception room. The eyes of the three people walking down the aisle were swollen from tears pouring from his front door.
It will take time to sort out your feelings. I don't know if it was because of Clump's consideration or if the meeting was getting longer, but Shirone was able to talk for a long time in the waiting room.
"Let's see, my son. While I didn't see you, your face was hurt a lot. Good job. I had a really hard time."
Tears welled up in Vincent's eyes again. He was a Shirone with better complexion than before, but from his parents' point of view, he just looked like he couldn't eat or sleep.
"What a hardship. He read the book and how much fun he had. How has his father been?"
"then! Of course, I ate well and had a good time. Do you want to see how fat your mom is? You became so pretty that your sister was almost born. ha ha ha!"
"Honey, what a scolding sound in front of your son."
Shirone gave a pitiful smile. His parents, whom he met after 1 year and 6 months, were much thinner than before.
I don't know, but I wonder if there was a way to properly feed my children worrying about my children day by day. Thinking of that, Shirone's heart was moved again.
Vincent suddenly became curious. At first, he thought something had happened to his son and was nervous enough to make his heart burst, but seeing Shirone relaxed, nothing bad seemed to have occurred.
"Yeah, why did you call us? If you're done with work, you can go home right away. Could it be that they did not let you go?"
"Nope. It's not like that. It's just that a good opportunity has come up."
"yes? season?"
Shirone brought up a story that had happened. He had already organized the structure in his head, and the words came out easily. But he was so astounding from a listener's point of view.
Vincent's expression gradually turned to astonishment. To be honest, I couldn't hear Shirone's voice from a certain point on. I don't know what the heck my son is talking about.
Became friends with the youngest member of the Ogent family? But that friend took an oath to become a knight? Moreover, the family accepted that fact and allowed him to be his friend?
Every time I broke the wall of common sense one after another, it seemed like thunder boomed in my head. When the conversation was finally over, Vincent scratched his head in silence.
I know that you are a smart and deep child. But even so, this makes no sense. Maybe my son's mind is wrong? Could it be that he was delusional because he was so harassed here?
"Shirone, be honest. This dad can do anything for you. what the hell happened to you? Who the hell made you do this?"
"It's true, father. Why would I lie like that?"
"yes! You are not a lying child. So tell me. who bullied you? Who messed with you!"
Vincent was genuinely furious. He was the one who encountered countless cases of commoners who became half-assholes after being wrongly entangled in aristocratic families.
Even Shirone thought it was an absurd story. But I couldn't think of a better way of persuasion than to tell the truth.
When I was struggling with my thoughts without being able to do this or that, the door to the reception room opened and the members of the immediate family of the August family entered.
