One More Time: Rebirth

Chapter 6: Going out for the first time

My new sibling was coming it was only a matter of time. In my previous life, I had no siblings so right now I wish to become a strong, kind, and respectable older brother.

Seven months have passed since my mom got pregnant and we had less time now for magic training. So nowadays I mostly have sword training. Sometimes I even have a huge amount of free time, yet even during those times I was supposed to do nothing but be a kid, I would instead devote my time to practice.

Then father approached me one time, he patted my shoulder and with a kind smile spoke to me. "Edge I know you like to get stronger. I'm also happy that you're taking practice seriously, but if you continue like this at some point your body will break. Its times like this that you need to act your age. Go on out and play let your body and mind rest. You know a real warrior rests while he can so that he is ready to fight tomorrow."

Listening to what dad was saying made sense. I sometimes forget that this body is still developing and that this was my second chance to have an actual childhood. I nodded my head and responded. "Ok dad, I'll do as you say, I'm going out for a while." My dad nodded at me "Ok, try not to get to any fights with the other children, also come back before sunset. Here two silver coins just in case you want to buy something."

Now that I think about it this will be my first time outside of the mansion. It's been four years and this would be my first time seeing this world, which made me feel a little excited.

Outside the mansion was a field, a wide and large flowery field. It would seem like the village is a little farther away from the house. While I was walking I could sense the presence of three individuals following me. Well, that's to be expected no matter how skilled, I was still just a four-year-old boy.

Well not being bothered by my bodyguards I walked through the field of flowers. The sun was high up the clear blue sky. The light shone brilliantly on the field of flowers. I wonder if there was such a place in my previous world. I never noticed, even though I traveled the whole continent I never looked at the surroundings as I was too focused on my revenge.

I never had time to appreciate the beauty of nature. The wind caresses my face while the sun shone brightly as if to energize me and the flowers aroma calms my soul. If this was my former self I wouldn't have cared. But now it felt nice to do this, I thank the God who brought me to this world with my memories intact. Really I'm truly grateful.

In the past I did not believe in any God cause if there really was a God why would he allow such tragedies to happen? Yet now just because he did one nice thing I think he exists. Hahaha. truly laughable. While I was thinking about these random things, I reached the village. A village no it was more like a town. The place was bustling with people.

I once heard from mom that we were living in a rural area. If this place full of people, shops and busy merchants was a rural area then I can't even imagine what an urban area would look like.

While I was curiously looking around, a man who looked like a guard approached me. "Hey, kid are you lost? Where are you from, what's your name?" The man who looked like a guard asked me a bunch of questions. I was a little troubled if I should answer or not. Since I'm unsure if this man was really a guard or something else entirely.

Though he looks like a kind person one must not judge another base on outer appearances so casually. Still, if anything, were to happen those bodyguards that were following me, would've done something.

While I was looking troubled, the man who looked like a guard as if reading my mind spoke with a smile on his face. "It's alright to tell me I'm one of the local guards of the village. Ask anyone they will vouch for me. So there is no need for you to worry. I David Sorten am an honorable man."

I looked at him for a while he doesn't seem to be lying and there really is no reason for him to lie to me. Also if he wanted to do something he wouldn't be having this conversation with me. He even stated with confidence that the whole village will vouch for him.

"Ok, David I'll trust you. I'm not really lost I just came here to stroll. Also my name is Edge Regius."

Upon hearing my name David looked at me dumbfounded and his face turned into one of excitement.

"You're the child of Leonard and Serina! Incredible I'm a big fan of your parents! It's an honor to meet their son."

He started speaking very fast. So my parents were famous? "Are my parent's really that famous?" David nodded his head.

"Yes, they're really famous the strongest in this village and both of them are people who surpass the C rank. Among the villagers there the most well-known." So my parents are pretty famous in the village. Well, they are rich and live in a mansion near the village. So, of course, they're famous, what am I even thinking? Even with my past memories, am I still being affected by my current child brain?

"Is that so? Thank you for that information. So, David, I would like to continue my stroll if I may. Also please don't tell other people that I'm the son of Leonard and Serina. It seems like if others knew I won't be able to continue my stroll." David looked at me in a daze and nodded.

"Sure sorry for delaying you Edge-." I didn't wait for David to finish speaking as I continued to tour the village. When I was a distance away I heard David saying something.

"As expected of Sir Leonard, and Lady Serina's son. He's able to speak like an adult, he even feels like one." Hearing that I realized my mistake, next time I'll try talking like any ordinary child. It was a good thing David seems a little bit gullible.
