Ch 18 Rest Period

  Garen can only explain "Uhm she was summoned by me and... I just become his dad... adopted dad.. erm...." Garen was hard to explain this.... he don't know what to say! and only shrug his shoulder.... and maybe it was true that he is the one that was adopted by Lila... right?

  the other can understand Lila being adopted by him even as she is already so big when he is just this young... though he said it weirdly... but the excuse to summon another one was hard to believe.....

  Janet, this professional secretary, can only draw logical conclusions from these illogical excuses...

  "Let's just say he found something while exploring the dungeon and 'suddenly' can do multiple' summoning' that can last all day... for both of them..." Janet said.

  Garen can only nod, as he can’t say that it was his phone that allow him to summon them right?

  And what's more, it was true that he can maintain this because he have a big mana reserve.

  Soon after, Janet says, "All right, let's rest for now, and we'll think about anything else tomorrow..."

  So they start to go into their bedroom and rest for the night!

  Garen was in his room and he can’t play on his phone at all today, and looking at the time there will be no customer at all.

  Still, he looks at the shop just in case, which makes him a bit baffled.

  Two customers are waiting there….

  He quickly looked at their conversation.... it was time to bargain, and in the end, he rejected the offer because this first guy doesn't want it at the market price!

  Soon the second one comes forward and starts to bargain, this time he only firmly says the market price and the man agrees!

  Garen nods as the second customer takes his iron pike, leaving him with only one in stock!

  well, he goes to the blacksmith and purchases another one! This building was open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so he could buy the finished product even at midnight! it was very convenient!

  Garen can only wait for a moment longer because no customer arrives, so he quickly puts his phone into his pocket and rests for the day.

  At the very least, he can feel the softness of his bed... even if it is only a temporary resting place, at least there is a bed and not a sleeping bag....

  This time he just fall asleep and even forget to let Anne and Lila back!

  With that, Cindy can only let them sleep in another room, Anne was not difficult because she has her own room, but Lila? Cindy allowed her to sleep in Cindy's room, as Cindy herself will still sleep here in Garen's bedroom, of course on another bed…

  The next day Cindy wakes Garen up as usual, he quickly summons Anne and Lila but feels something weird as they are already summoned! so he blinks and just lets it go...

  This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

  Soon he can see them talking on another bed while Cindy keeps shaking him!

  “Brother, are you alright? You know what I mean…..” as it was a rather open place she does not ask him if his mana was empty or something like that….

  Garen can only groan and want to sleep again… but soon Cindy pulls him! “alright, it seems you are fine, let’s go! we will go back first! Sister Rose still needs time to manage another expedition!”

  Garen can only follow along while sleepy, and he can't help but think that these days aren't as good as they used to be... and what's more this world was not as peaceful as before where he can sleep and wake up whenever he wants even though he is not wealthy!.. before the crack of course...

  Uh, now that he thinks about it maybe that was the reason he is not rich…. he just lazes around all day...

  back to topic.... soon they ride their car and go back into their mansion!

  Lila and Cindy seem quite compatible… well maybe because they do not have a big age gap.. maybe… he never asks Lila's age…

  In the end, they arrive and Garen was dragged by Cindy to have a family meeting…. with Anne and Lila too… Janet was somewhere else at the moment.

  It was a safe place that was hard for others to eavesdrop, Rose was the first one that says something.

  “Alright, so what do you want to learn? you have a big mana reserve even after all of this, mage will be a good choice for you!” Rose looks at Garen and says seriously.

  But Cindy rejects it “ Sis, he is so lazy like this… will he ever learn a spell? diligence was a key point of a mage! I don't think he can do much....”

  This made Rose nod, unlike the ability gained through awakening, learning to chant spells was difficult and time-consuming...

  Usually, it was only if their ability is compatible with this job they choose to learn as a mage.

  But the personality was important too!

  Even though Garen was already so different from the previous one, after a few interactions, he is still as lazy.... perhaps it was already ingrained in his bones that after losing his memory, he still acts like this!

  In the end, Rose herself can’t force this and ask his opinion.

  Garen now thinks about this he doesn’t know anything so he just says “What was the easiest method for someone like me that has a big mana capacity and can fight in the shortest amount of time ?”

  This make them baffled and deep down a bit relieved.. well it was still their brother….

  But before they can say anything Lila was the one that say ” Of course, it was to make contact with me!” Lila looks proud and even raises her chin a bit….

  Seeing the others look at her, this makes Lila blink and ask “What? Did you never know that making a contract with a spirit can grant you a bit of their power ?”

  This time Lila still blinking her eyes in confusion!

  Garen sighed and forgot to say that Lila was a newborn spirit, not a normal kid.....still, he don’t know that he can make a contract with her!

  Soon Lilan can only explain “By making a contract with spirits one must first fulfill that spirit's wish, as my wish was already fulfilled it was easy to form a contract with me!”

  Lila then continues “After making the contract we can share some skills and with that, you can throw lava balls like me Dad!” Lila look excited to think about this.

  Hearing this even Rose was interested as Lila Lava ball was useful!

  Garen can only nod, if he can do that can't he launch a volley of lava balls at his enemy? He can transform himself into a lava ball-spewing machine gun thanks to his quick mana regeneration!

  Well, it was what was going through his mind.... he didn't know if it was possible or not...

  Still, it was a good thing to make a contract with her now! But Garen can only ask something else “So Lila what was the disadvantage of forming a contract ?”

  Hearing this Lila blink and think for a moment… “fulfill my wish!” Lila said to him... soon Garen ask again “Anything else?”

  …. “just fulfill my wish!” Lila can only think about this….

  Hearing this Garen can only sigh well maybe it is not so bad to form a contract with her right?

  But to make sure he asks again..” so is there anything else like I can only form one contract in my lifetimes?”

  This time Lila think hard and say “Oh I remember… if you make a contract with me, you can only make an additional contract with someone that much stronger than me, if it was weaker than me it was impossible….” with this Lila then nodded in approval….

  It appears that it was the spirit's pride that prevented their contractor from signing another contract with a weaker spirit than them.....

  Garen nodded, if it was just this it was still acceptable, but he still asked the most important one “So what was your wish ?”

  This time Lila answer it without thinking “To have a dad! And family! Well, maybe a mom but it was fine now…. you can give me one later!”

  Garen sighs... He'll have a child officially after signing a contract with her.... well, nothing will be changed anyway...

  In the end Garen nod “Alright I will accept it, let’s make a contract!”

  Soon Garen and Lila move forward and Lila say something in unknown language!

  This makes the other people that watch in awe! It looks really like something mysterious now….

  Soon a crest with an active volcano appeared on the ground covering Lila and Garen, Lila then say “Did you accept to be my father ?”

  Garen nodded… but Lila say “Dad you need to say yes to make it work…. let’s try again…” The crest disappeared as Garen was not responsive but soon as Lila said something it reappeared again!

  Soon the crest appeared again and cover both of them again, Lila say the same thing again “Did you accept to be my father ?”

  Garen can only say “ Yes” after that amazing thing happened!

  The crest that was on the ground starts to shine brightly! it was dark red like active lava!

  Soon after many dots of dark red fly from the ground and envelop these two people! After that, all of this disappeared like nothing happened before!

  Garen did not feel much and looked confused, Lila smile widely and come back to sit on the couch….

  As Garen does not know what to do he just sit down….

  The other was curious as to what was different after signing a contract so Cindy said “Brother try to use the skill! I saw what lava ball looks like!”
