Chapter 590 She’s fine
[Eon’s POV: ]
-Schiiiiik…!
“Oh. Master Eon. It is very nice to see you after so-”
[< “Grandpa Zhen, we know. Just take it to where everyone is.” >]
One would need a special communication device to connect somewhere outside the island, the normal ones didn’t work here. But since Maginet was something almost global here, I had created a special program that enabled us to do the visual chat as we did with the usual communication crystals.
‘And since everyone was with Anna as Celes said, I connected it to the main emergency communication center of the house where one of Grandpa Zhen’s clones was present forever.’
He didn’t need many words to understand we already knew about all that was going on right now, so, he only bowed and took the ball to Anna’s room.
-Knock. Knock.
And though the door was open, he knocked on it and everyone looked back at once.
“Hmm?”
Everyone was here already. Mom, Dad, Aunt Aug, Grandpa and Grandma, Mave and other Povpoi, Zuror, Sir Mel, Lady Niss, and even Aunt Haze were here.
They all had worried expressions and were looking at Anna. And she was in a deep sleep, unknown to all that was happening around her.
“Is that Eon?”
“Yes…”
That was mom. She knew just from the crystal ball in Grandpa Zhen’s hand that it was us.
“Eon… Anna…”
She was worried, everyone in this room was practically crying even though they could see Anna was fine and there was nothing to worry about.
‘This was the first time she had collapsed like that, and from what they must have heard from the everyone present there, they must be even more worried.’
But, thanks to Mr. Rice, there was nothing to worry about. At least this time.
[< “It’s alright mom. There’s nothing to worry about. Nothing happened to her.” >]
“You mean something might have happened to her?!”
She shouted at the top of her lungs, her expression distorted and a new fear suddenly clouding her entire face.
‘I knew she would just know from those simple words…’
That was Mom, knowing what any of my twisted words meant without any great effort.
[< “Yes, however, nothing happened right? See, she is smiling right now. Doesn’t she look rather happy?” >]
She almost seemed to be glowing with a new light, and they all could see it too. But, that just made them even more worried about her.
“Eon.”
She looked at us for a moment with serious eyes and observed me and my expressions.
I knew she could tell Rein knew little about what was going on while as always, she could read nothing from the happy expression of Zoe. So, her only source of information here was me, and, after her thorough observation, she reached some kind of positive conclusion and sighed.
“Haaaa… she’s alright everyone.”
As if they were all holding their breaths all this time, when Mom finally announced that Anna was fine after her observations, not only she but the entire room filled with people here sighed with relief.
“What happened to her, baby?”
A heavy weight had lifted from all their chests, some had fallen to the ground, some even laid down on the ground with their foreheads covered with a sweat of exhaustion.
{ “Brotherrrrrrrrr Eonnnnnnnnn! We were worriedddd!” }
The Povpoi children shouted with worried voices and were about to go on to say a lot more things when their mom and aunts reminded them that Anna was sleeping and they all should be quiet.
Shouting would wake her up and from how she was sleeping with that pretty smile, they did not dare wake her up from her magical slumber.
‘And perhaps she is seeing something unique from her special eyes for the first time in that dream so waking her up right now would be a really bad thing.’
Lady Nissa and the others with magical abilities had guessed there was something unique about this special sleep of hers so they first created a few barriers around her, and only then looked back at me for the answers to the grave question before them—why?
‘It’s funny how all of these influential people were so worried over a natural collapse of a little girl.
But, since that little girl was the best existence in this reality, even this much was nothing. I wouldn’t even be surprised if a bunch of gods and divine beasts are worried over something similar.’
She was destained for many great things and all the darker things in her paths would have to face my arrows before they could reach my beloved little darling.
She was the best, but the worry of the people gathered in this room was something that had to be resolved as quickly as possible.
[< “So…” >]
They were looking at us, and I was looking at them, and, from how much they knew me, this strange hesitation did not go well with them.
They knew something unprecedented was going to come out of my mouth…
[< “Anna was going to experience her first Awakening attempt, but we terminated the process somehow.” >]
…and this simple sentence was more than enough to answer all of the questions they all possessed.
‘She just went through her first awakening attempt, which meant it was not the last time something like this was going to happen to her and it was not something she could have been able to handle on her own so the need to artificially terminate the entire process, something that occurs naturally, arose for us.’
And since the one that did it, even though through his creation that she cherished more than anything, her little Mr. Rice, was none other than me, some of them had figured out I had already known something like this might happen someday.
And they knew I wasn’t going to explain to them how I knew something so strange so, they didn’t question it and instead just kept staring at me like I had more things to tell them… which I most certainly did.
But, the one I had to tell these things weren’t all of them but specifically my dear grandpa who was looking at Anna with a worried gaze.
[< “Grandpa…” >]
I called him out and he looked at me with a somewhat sad look and then, smiled weakly.
“Is it already time for that?”
He knew what I was going to say just from the heavy look I had on my face right now. And, it was better since I didn’t have enough strength to articulate those bitter things.
[< “Yes…” >]
I also had the same bitter look as him, and, when Mom looked at this look of ours, and then looked back at Anna’s smiling face inside the barriers, she grasped what the two of us meant by those unspoken words.
“Eon… do you mean it’s time for her training?”
[< “Yes… and, she would have to work hard starting with her physical improvement as well as her magical ‘vessel’ improvement in the later part of her training. ｂ𝚍ｏｖ𝚕．𝚝
Grandpa already knows where to start from and, I will tell everyone what they have to do to help her with this little predicament of hers.
Mr. Rice saved her this time but, she really can’t handle the power of her special awakening. She might even…
But, I will make sure the worst never comes to pass, and, as you all know, I can’t face her with these kinds of indirect methods.
She might cry if she feels too lonely but, if I talk with her through this method-” >]
“You won’t be able to stay there anymore and would want to come back? She already knows that.”
Mom smiled at me warmly, knowing the heart of her lovely children all too well.
[< “I know she knows… she’s my Anna after all. She knows me too well.” >]
Rein knew me and my past but, this little angel had nothing to do with that past she wasn’t part of.
She just loved ‘me’ unconditionally. Just like I did. And this fact was never going to change, at least, from my side.
were now free from this little predicament, they were happier.
Sir Mel was especially looking forward to Anna’s training… but Dad “I will tell her you called.”
[< “Yes…” >]
“And also that you said you love her forever plus infinity.”
[< “Please do…” >]
There was a smile on my face, a warm one, a happy one, a joyous one.
Seeing them after this little time felt like I was seeing my own family after months. But, they all looked healthy and happy, and since they were now free from this little predicament, they were happier.
Sir Mel was especially looking forward to Anna’s training… but Dad had something he wanted to say but was holding it back.
[< “Dad?” >]
“It’s her eyes, right…?”
He looked up for the first time since this chat started, Tears were hanging on the ends of his eyes, and the red emotional face of a father who would now have to see his dear little princess grow up was happy, and sad at the same time.
But his question contained a deeper meaning that he knew, only I would be able to understand among us.
[< “Probably… we couldn’t say. It is a possibility, but not a certainty. However, if I have to answer that question, it would be a no. Her eyes are her greatest strength, nothing could change this fact.” >]
I smiled at him, and this reassuring smile did its work.
“Stay healthy little one. And take care of yourself.”
He smiled at me, said his goodbyes, and, continued looking at the smiling little angel.
He was the father of a young princess, so, the burden of the truth, the perpetual passage of time, was not something easy for him to handle.
But, I knew he was more than strong enough to endure and win this battle of fatherhood. So, I smiled back, and returned to Mom and the others…
Everyone had a lot of things to say to me, to all of us, and many questions to ask of their own. And we had time today, so… we all talked and enjoyed this little virtual meeting.
‘We even called Carla, Chry, and Alf to join this conversation, talked about all the things that happened, the friends we made, and things we learned.’
They all knew tomorrow was a big day though so, they let us go early and after our parting, as I returned to the place we were, the outskirts where our house was getting built, I finally sighed with relief too…
“Haaaa… it was a long day too.”
It was almost night now, so, Rein just directly fell on my lap after I laid down on the ground with my hands spread out, and Zoe put her head on one of my arms.
The two had just been as worried as me but now that it was over, they were relived.
It was a bad accident, but, it ended in a good resolution, so…
“You two existed for tomorrow?”
“Yesssss~!”
“Of course~.”
familiar summoning… we already had ours but, we could still participate in the ritual. And though very, very, very rare, it was still possible for one to have more than one familiars. So, I was looking forward to it…
And so were everyone else, right Celes?
