Chapter 280: 280
Early on the morning of my fifth day in the Hydra Kingdom, I came to where I met the grandpa before again to talk to him .
[I see, you’re leaving this evening huh . ]
[Yes…… Ahh . but I’ll come back to visit from time to time . ]
[Fuhahaha, you really are quite the honest one, aren’t you? Even though I asked you, I didn’t expect you would come to visit me here everyday, you know?]
[Ah, now, well, I had plenty of time to spare anyway……]
Incidentally, I’ve been coming to this place where I met this grandpa every morning since I met him .
It seems that this grandpa has some work he needs to do, so we weren’t able to talk for that long, and we just had some light conversation .
[Ohh, that’s right! Since this is the last day of your stay here in Hydra Kingdom, how about we go drink some tea?]
[Unnn? Ah, yes . ]
[I have an acquaintance who eats unusual sweets, and this one is my favorite . ]

[……Is that a rice cracker?]
[Umu, I think that’s what it’s called . ]
The grandpa is still advancing the casual talk as usual, and I noticed that the topic of conversation had switched already, but I don’t particularly care about that as I’ve gotten used to it over the past few days .
More importantly, I didn’t expect to see rice crackers in this place…… I wonder if this grandpa’s acquaintance is someone who held the role of Hero back then?
[I can’t get enough of this rice cracker and green tea…… Here, let’s eat together . ]
[Thank you . ]
With a grin on his wrinkled face, the old man offered me a teacup with green tea and some rice crackers, which I accepted and ate with him .
How should I say this…… We’re currently eating on a coast, but I feel like I’m eating on the veranda…… It somehow reminded me of my grandfather, and I feel a bit nostalgic .
I haven’t seen them much since my parents died and my other relatives took me in…… I wonder if they’re doing well?
[Hmmm . This is good . ]

[Yes, and the sea breeze also feels nice . ]
[Ohh, you can understand huh!? The wind here is really great!]
It’s good to relax while looking at the sea like this once in a while .
While I was thinking about such things and taking a bite of the rice cracker in my hand, the grandpa suddenly spoke with a calm tone in his voice .
[However, you are quite the good man, aren’t you? You aren’t even showing a hint of displeasure on your face even when this old man is talking about worldly matters . ]
[I enjoy talking to grandpa too, and I also learned lots of things from you . ]
[Hahaha, I see! You really are a pleasant young man…… I don’t mean to badmouth the youngsters these days, but most of them are always pressed for time . It couldn’t be helped, for our time in this world is limited but…… I don’t like having such thoughts that much . ]
As I grew up in Japan, I feel that people in this world are using their time wisely, but from the grandpa’s point of view, they seem to be in quite a hurry .
What the grandpa is saying certainly is right, time is limited for humans…… You can’t reverse the time that has flown past . No, well, I certainly know a few people who might be able to overturn that law but……
[Are you saying that because we have a limited amount of time, it’s better to use that time for your heart’s desires?]

[Ahh, there’s nothing wrong with rushing things or being impatient about things . However, if we live our lives pressed for time, we would be stuck in a vicious circle, wouldn’t we? Sometimes, it’s important to take your mind off things, and look at the grand sceneries of the journey you’re traveling in . ]
[That’s really deep . ]
[Foufoufou, if that’s what you think about such words, then you’ll be alright . ]
I don’t know if it’s because of all the experiences he had accumulated, but his words sound like he had lived much longer than I have . Trying to etch those words in my mind, I thought about making sure that I didn’t forget to keep some leeway in my mind .
Well, I’m fortunate enough to be blessed with people . There are plenty of people who would admonish me or reach out their hands to me when they find out that I’m in a hurry…… And I’m really grateful and happy for that .
[Well, putting those things aside…… I’ll be repeating myself but, young man, you’re a good man . ]
[Huh? E- Errr, thank you?]
[Umu, what do you think? How about you become my husband (muko)?]
[Eh? Ummm…… Are you talking about me marrying your grandchild?]
[U- Umu…… O- Oohhh, that’s right!]

(T/N: Muko means two things, it could mean being your husband/groom, which the King here asked Kaito . The other one is son-in-law, which is what Kaito thought, since someone with the face of a grandpa said that . )
