Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

“Well, for starters. You might have guessed but, I’m not human.

I have lived for thousands of years so, don’t feel pressured to call me grandma despite my appearance.

You would have many questions so, let’s move to somewhere a little better.”

Saying that, she started walking toward the door.

This place was good enough, so I didn’t know where we would go but, I just followed her.

“This is my tower. My home and a place I built to stay for the rest of my life.

I have lived in the human domains for many years and I know this great forest for a long time.

This place, in the middle of the dark forest, is the quietest in all the great forests of Kamut so, I was just living here all by myself.

Yes… I’m alone here, so it should answer one of your questions.”

She said as we walked out of the room and into the long hallway of this floor.

This place… was bigger on the inside than I had thought.

This was no normal tower, and the whole round hall looked like some kind of castle.

On this circular floor with the doors at the end of the room, the middle of the floor was almost empty.

There was just a giant magic circle that I was seeing for the first time and many decorations on the sides of this place.

This was some kind of luxurious castle and this room was some kind of summoning place by the looks of it.

Well, I didn’t think it really was something like that.

“We are on the 36th floor and I made this whole tower of 51 such floors with different things to it.

I was just making all this for self-satisfaction and you’re the first human to be in this place.

Never thought there would be a human here…”

She chuckled at the fact that a human was in her house but, this wasn’t as shocking as hearing that she lived here alone.

Alone? In such a big place? For that long?

How could someone endure such a thing… unless you are among those fantasy dragons that lived their lives alone?

Well… that couldn’t be true, as she had just said that she had lived with humans for a long time.

Meaning she wasn’t some dragon at the very least.

What she was didn’t matter that much but, knowing would be a good thing.

And this place, her tower, this was not something ordinary.

We walked in the middle of the circle and, like a teleport spell that high-level mages used, we vanished from that room and reappeared in a quiet room with only two chairs and a fireplace.

“Take a seat. This chat would be better than you might think.”

I didn’t know why we were here but, the quiet dark room with two gorgeous chairs, a fireplace with the same white fire burning in it, the quiet cracking of fire, the smell of burning wood… all this was heart soothing.

As if my soul was getting healed, I was feeling better than just some moments ago.

This was amazing, and it really surprised me something like that was possible by just being near a unique fire.

Sitting on the relaxing, soft chair, I took out some burgers that I had made at Fern’s party.

As well as some ice cream and juices, and set them on the table before us.

This place was something relaxing and though this was just a corner of the room, I could see that this room was covering an entire floor.

Meaning… this was a room of relaxation?

This grandma of mine would have been super bored to have made things like this.

And, if there was a floor of relaxation, a floor of bedrooms so, what else was there in those other forty-nine floors?

“Oh? What are these things?” she asked as she looked at the food that I took out from my white crack.

It would be naturally surprising to see these things for the first time.

Well, I was the creator of these things in this world so, even if she had lived for thousands of years, she wouldn’t know of them.

“Try it, grandma. They are delicious.” I offered a small burger, and she accepted it with both of her hands.

Well, I didn’t know why I got the feeling that she had no idea how to eat this thing, but I still ate it the same way I always did.

With both hands and with the sauce.

This was the thing…

“Hmmm~.”

Some of the last thoughts I had when I closed my eyes against that creature were the regrets of not being able to eat ice cream.

But, thanks to her, I won’t have to suffer from that regret anymore.

She ate the same way I did, and the surprised expression on her face was just like mom’s when she ate it for the first time.

Putting her hand on her mouth in proper noble antiquity, she sat down in her chair on the other side.

“What is this…” she asked in an awe-struck voice.

For someone like her, who had lived for thousands of years, it was surprisingly favorable.

Well, that was the charms they carried.

I was happy that something I made would make her this happy.

“Is this what people in your previous world ate? It’s amazing to eat something thought in another world for the first time.

To think I would do these things in this boring life of mine.

Really, Eon, this is good~.”

“Yes~. It really… is… wait. What?”

My mouth stopped chewing and the other hand moving towards a glass stopped in the air.

This was something surprising and something that caught me off guard.

My mouth hesitated, and I looked at her in a new light.

Her shining eyes were as pure as fire, her unique appearance and the way she talked as if she had lived a really long life outside of human understanding.

The thing that she just said was enough to cancel many scenarios prepared in my mind.

My mind was clear and all I could do now was… talk to her.

She had mentioned something really concerning, and this was something that no one, not even my second half Celes, knew.

I was sure I never mentioned something related to my past, nor had I done anything that would make her say that.

But she just said something like my previous world… and I had heard it loud and clear.

And… well, it wasn’t like no one knew about this thing. 𝒃𝙚𝙤𝙫𝒆𝒍．𝙘𝒐𝙢

Just that Celes didn’t know the whole thing aside from the sad emotions.

Looking at my alluring grandma, I nodded my head with another bite.

“Yes… this is from there.”

There was no need to hide something small like me being from somewhere else.

I just had those memories.

I was the Axion, the same person I had been since my birth in this world.

It surprised Celes to hear this but, that was it.

She didn’t ask anything and just listened to us quietly while sitting on my head.

And, as I knew, she patted my head to calm my nervous heart.

That touch was something… special.

“You know that I’m not human. So, what do you think I am, little Eon?”

She asked with her usual smile and I had an answer ready.

An answer that didn’t make any sense at all.

Something that I had never thought I would meet in my ending life.

Not in a place of the eternal night at least.

Not in a great forest’s dark forest and even in a place that was like this tower.

But… actually, that didn’t matter to me anymore now.

Shaking my head, I looked at her. “I will wait until you clear my thoughts. So, let’s move to the next question.”

This was a really weird answer, and she understood why I dodged this one.

“The barrier you came through. You know not everything can pass through it, right? What do you think are the conditions for passing through it?”

That was the important question and the answer to this question would make scenarios in my mind even fewer.
