Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

"Huu... everything is ready," Brian was exhausted from all the packing and sorting stuff.

In the quiet kitchen, a small breeze flowed from the open door behind him.

Eon was playing outside now that we were done with everything.

It was afternoon and the sun was about to set in some time.

In the middle of the kitchen, on the large round table, six different cubes were placed with a small note stuck on them.

Having a storage device was a blessing, I didn't know where to put all of Eon's books and materials without them.

There wasn't any need to take them with us, he already knew everything about them.

And saying this was now so natural to me that I didn't even notice.

Even Brian had more stuff them me. It filled two whole large storages.

We could easily store a carriage worth of things in one of these, and these two took three of these to themselves.

With some important stuff and small things as well as one of my cubes full of important documents, we ended up using six whole cubes.

Each one of them was worth 300 gold coins.

If we say 10 gold coins are enough for a normal family to live for a month, these cubes were worth 1.5 years of their all expenses.

Every storage device was sold at a very high price.

Even the one Eon was currently using, though the most basic one with the smallest space, was worth 100 gold coins.

If there was a skill stone, like Brian's (item box), it might go as high as 900 gold or 1 platinum coin.

And people would fight like crazy for each one of them.

A smile spread out on my face as I thought about people fighting to buy something at an auction house.

It has been a long time since I returned to my auction house.

My family wasn't the only one waiting for my return to the capital, countless people were waiting for us.

For the (Cold Demoness), for (Auction master of Hiraani) and the one that framed me would be waiting for (Guild leader) of [Faron merchant alliance].

I would love to see the expression of those pigs when they see me.

Many will be happy and many will cry.

'It will be fun~!'

"Nolen! Calm down! You are releasing too much authority. You might feel weak!"

As I heard Brian's panicked voice, I came back to the present.

In the heat of that moment, I had unconsciously used some of my power.

It was good that he was here or else I might have to sleep early today... which would be a problem for me, at least.

I had some 'plans' for tonight which he didn't know.

He was just genuinely worried about me.

Giving him a cute smile I sat down.

He was busy making some kind of list so he returned to it.

He was walking in the room left and right, thinking if anything was missing.

But then, his foot accidentally collided with a chair and he dropped his note.

With a frustrated expression, he mumbled under his breath.

"Oh, f me..."

I heard that very clearly for an unknown reason and a playful smirk appeared on my face.

He looked at my face and his eyes widened.

"No," he said taking a step back.

A cold shiver might have run down his spine as he shook slightly.

I stood up and walked closer to him.

"I mean it. Eon is just outside too," now there were small drops of sweat on his forehead.

This was getting more cute as I took the next step.

He stopped as he bumped into the wall behind him.

Standing just before him, I stood up on my toes.

He was taller and that was making this even more exciting.

With a low hum, and a smile only he knew very well, I got in his face.

A pink blush appeared on his clear cheeks.

Putting a hand right under his chin, I lifted that pretty face.

As I leaned much closer to his ears, he closed his eyes and tightly shut his lips.

-Ba-dum. -Ba-dum.

My heart was going to jump out in the heat of the moment.

But, now wasn't the time.

Just before his ear, I whispered in a very low voice.

"Let's have some ice cream today~."

I pulled myself back and returned to my seat.

When nothing happened for at least 5 seconds he opened one of his eyes only to find me sitting away from him.

An even bigger blush appeared on his face as he understood what just happened.

Picking up his list, he stomped out of the room all red and pink.

"Hehehehe~."

I laughed loudly enough that Eon picked from the door only to find me laughing with almost tears.

I looked at him with cracked eyes and he just shook his head and returned to playing.

Our last day in this house was going very eventually.

Putting a hand on my belly, I sighed.

There will be another one to laugh with within our big family.

Eon was unique ever since I could remember.

Not everyone was like him but, that was just who he was.

He was going to become a big brother, one more person for him to protect.

He was happy, maybe more than both of us.

That joy, those feelings were part of his uniqueness.

We were happy if he was happy.

And, I could finally be of some help to him when we get back.

He could have anything he wanted there, as long as it wasn't dangerous.

In Roxana empire's capital, [Great city of Gwyneth] was our first home. In the largest city which is believed to be blessed by gods themselves.

I was one of the people that could buy almost anything they wanted there.

And resources are always necessary for one to grow stronger.

Though I was still worried about him as always, I won't be helpless there.

I smiled delightfully as I put my head on the table.

***

"Eon~. Wake up. We have to depart soon~," I whispered in his ears.

After a moment of rolling in the bed, he cracked open his eyes.

As soon as he saw me, his eyes widened in an instant.

"Mom! Are we late!?" he jumped up in bed, shouting in his cute voice.

I grabbed his hands to calm him down.

And he calmed down pretty fast.

"We aren't late at all~. Let's get ready and go downstairs. Dad will be finished with the breakfast in a bit."

He happily nodded his head and jumped down from the bed.

Leaving him alone, I walked downstairs.

When I entered the kitchen, Brian was serving the plates on the table.

Looking at him with a sly smile I said in a low voice.

"Hay honey~. Yesterday was fun, wasn't it~?"

A somewhat sad expression clouded his face at that moment.

Surprised, I asked in a bit louder voice than before.

"Is... something wrong?"

He looked around the very familiar kitchen with a sad smile.

"I will miss this..."

I understood this sadness of his. I shared the same feelings, maybe more than him.

As a mother who has watched her child grow up in this same place, I was also a bit sad to leave.

"But, it's not like we won't come back here ever, right? This will always be our second home~."

He looked up at me and smiled.

Walking forward, he hugged me gently.

I hugged him back.

This was going to be our last breakfast in this house and we won't be able to come back for a long time.

Just then, we felt another small hug. We knew who it was so we just stayed like this for a bit.

And I knew, these two fools won't let me go so I had to let them go this time.

I sat on my chair and ordered them to sit down.

We had to depart now, can't have the carriage wait for much longer.

After finishing the food, which was quick considering their emotional state, we walked out to the front door.

"Good morning, young miss! Master Brian and oh! You must be young master Axion! It's a pleasure to finally meet you~!"

A middle-aged man was standing beside the large carriage.

The carriage was simple and wasn't fancy. The only thing special about them were the beasts pulling the carriage.

[Blaze wind horse]

Also known as red horses. They were special beasts.

If one didn't know, they might take them as normal horses.

But, in reality, this pair of horses were more fast, strong, and rare than other horses.

A smile spread out on my face as I saw the familiar normal-looking uncle.

He was our family's head stable keeper.

My brother and I used to play around in stables when we were kids and he played with us there.

Seeing him after such a long time was really... good.

I smiled and started introducing him to Eon.

"Eon, this is uncle Besnik. He is taking care of your uncle and me ever since we were kids.

Uncle Besnik, this is my pride, joy, and love... Eon."

Eon looked at him but his focus was on the horses ever since we stepped outside.

Uncle Besnik smiled warmly as he looked at him.

"Young master, do you want to meet them?"

Eon's eyes widened and a big smile appeared on his face.

"Can I do that?!" he asked vigorously.

"Of course~! Here, let me introduce them."

They played with horses with smiles across their faces.

Eon loved these beasts and, strangely, these beasts also liked him.

Just like right now, the red horses known for their difficult personalities were playing with him happily.

This even surprised uncle, who had taken care of many troublesome beasts in our stables.

"Indeed. Just like master said, young master Axion is amazing~."

"He is~! He is the best!"

As his mom, whenever I heard someone praise him, I get happy.

"Indeed. With such natural affinities, he could become a master tamer in a short time~."

And whenever someone says that he is more amazing than I know, my heart twitches weirdly.

As his mom, I was worried much more than anything.

But, after everything until now, I had adapted myself to those situations.

"Indeed. He is amazing. But, we can't decide anything for him. He already has a 'goal'. Dad must have told you, right?"

"Of course he did. That's why the young master is more amazing than the master said."

He chuckled and opened the door of the carriage.

"Let's go~. If we are late, the master will scold me."

With a tired smile, I looked back at our home.

It was a long time but, we enjoined it more than anything.

"Ok, mom. Let's go."

Eon pulled my hand from the right and Brian pulled my left hand.

Giving our home one last look, we boarded the carriage.

Something new was about to start.
