Suddely Became A Child's
Eps 06's

"Underestimating someone who looks weak is a mistake. How about I use you?"

"It's okay."

"...."

Rein looked down at his dinner plate which only had vegetables left. He pondered over the words Curran said lightly, as if it was no big deal.

'Croft, did you hear that?'

[I heard it Master. ]

'Because this man allowed us to use him, so you can't rob this family. Understood?'

[I understand, I will remember. ]

Curran patted Rein's head looking at the child speechless as if pondering something. It was difficult to live in this cruel world, he had already felt it once.

The fact that he could not come into physical contact with his family was the biggest blow of his life, in which he had to keep his distance so as not to hurt them.

Mark was silent to the chatter of both father and son. On one hand he understood why his young master had adopted a child he had just met.

But on the other hand he also understood what Young Master Rein meant. It is difficult to accept a person's kindness, when he has met people who use and hurt him.

"I-i ...."

Rein said hesitantly.

"Just say, I'll hear it."

Curran patted Rein's head after seeing him who was hesitant say something.

Rein's blue netra stared at Curran's face which gave him the confidence to say it.

"I want to have a private lab room."

"Hm."

Curran frowned.

"You said I could use you, that's why I wanted you to make me a private lab room. So that I can make and concoct medicine."

Rein said what he wanted.

[Master, do you want to make elixir from the plants we have collected while in the forest? ]

'Yes, after that we can sell it and-'

[And we'll make a lot of money, then you'll raise my level, won't you Master? ]

'certain.'

[ Hehe. Master, I guarantee you will not be disappointed when my level has gone up. ]

Rein pressed his lips against smiling as he looked at Croft floating around him.

But it looks like a poor cat who is forbidden to eat chocolate by his pig.

Curran sighed.

"I will grant your wish, but on one condition."

Rein frowned.

"Do I have to miss"

"Call me Dad."

Curran cut off what Rein wanted to say when he met.

"Call me Father, you are now my son."

Curran repeated his remarks to make Rein aware that he had not misheard.

Mark could only smile amusedly looking at and hearing the interaction of this father and son duo.

Rein remained silent.

Wherever Curran looks young. Rein estimated Curran's age to be in his early 20s.

'Do I have to call him dad?'

[Master, you are 8 years old now. ]

'Ah, for a moment I forgot about that fact.'

Rein felt awkward calling the person younger than him by the name of father, so he said it slowly.

"Dad."

Curran mouth twitching angle.

"Did you say something?"

Curran asked with one eyebrow raised.

"Dad."

"Hm?"

"Dad I called you Dad."

Rein said resentfully that Curran was teasing him about continuing to call him father.

Curran chuckled small. He rubbed Rein's head.

"All right, if that's all the vegetables or Mary will be sad later."

Rein felt goosebumps hearing Curran's words that reminded him of when the female chef named Mary smiled at him.

Rein was forced to eat vegetables with strange faces.

'ugh, this is not delicious.'

Rein hurriedly finished the steamed vegetables and immediately drank the milk to remove the taste from the mouth.

"Rein."

Curran called.

"Yes Dad."

Rein said after gulping down the milk.

Curran took a tissue not far from him, then wiped Rein's mouth with the remains of milk in his mouth.

Rein remained silent. He was stunned to see Curran cleaning his face using a tissue.

'Well, they're not gonna do this to me.'

Croft paused for a moment, before speaking Rein's mind.

[Master, let's collect a lot of money and be happy. ]

'Hm.'

"Can you tell me a story about you before you met Dad? ... You can't say it if you don't want to."

Curran asked carefully. Although it sounded presumptuous, he had to know about it as it would be an old man figure for Rein.

He did this so as not to make mistakes later on.

Rein nodded.

"No problem, I can tell Dad."

Rein answered with confidence. He did intend to tell the story of this child to Curran, so that the man was not suspicious of his attitude that was not in accordance with the behavior of small children in general.

"Tell me then."

Rein told the story of this boy from beginning to end by omitting the fact of his death, and adding the two skills he had. Namely, Alchemist and cooking.

Curran was stunned on the spot. He did not expect the child he met to have any natural attribute abilities, moreover he obtained that ability after getting violence from the people of the orphanage.

His first home was staying.

Looks like he needs to make a visit to the orphanage. Curran glanced at Mark who was answered nodding by him.

'Hm, should I burn it?'

Curran nodded after making his decision.

Rein, who did not know what Curran was thinking, continued to eat with pleasure because the vegetables had run out. So, he didn't have to eat it anymore.

* * *

Malamannya.

Rein is getting ready for dinner with his new family. She was wearing the clothes Mark had chosen.

"Little young master, you're so cute with that outfit."

Mark was proud of his choice.

Rein frowned.

"Uncle Mark, I'm handsome not cute. Remember that."

Mark chuckled amusedly. Then answer.

"Sure little young master, you're very handsome."

Rein nodded in satisfaction at hearing Mark's reply.

"Mark, my clothes."

Rein turned his head to the side where Curran had just come out of the bathroom with a white towel covering his waist.

Mark brought the clothes he had chosen, then put the clothes on Curran's body deftly.

Rein stared enviously at Curran's body which looked nice and muscular, in contrast to his thin body like a twig.

[Master, let's eat a lot in order to quickly grow. ]

Croft tells him to comfort Rein in order not to be jealous of his adoptive father's body.

'Hm.'

"Rein, what are you looking at?"

Curran asked. He felt perplexed looking at the silent Rein as he looked at himself.

"I'll eat a lot."

Rein replied with a stern look in his eyes.

Curran raised one eyebrow not understanding, but when he saw the direction of the gaze from his son he immediately realized the meaning of his son's words.

"Well, eat a lot to grow fast."

"certain."

After being ready with his clothes, Curran approached Rein and hugged him.

Rein himself did not mind, that way he could save his strength. And it turns out that in the cradle it's very comfortable.

"Please young master."

Mark led the way to the dining room followed by Curran and Rein in the back, as well as Kendrick who was behind Curran.

Many servants did whispers as they walked along. What made Rein tired, was Croft who always cheated on the servants who were gossiping.

Rein put on a flat face. Entering the right ear out the left ear, Rein ignored Croft's unqualified chatter.

Finally the four of them arrived at the front door of the dining room.

"Good dinner, young master."

Mark opened the dining room door and allowed Rein and Curran to enter.

"Yes, you ate Mark too."

"I understand Young master."

"Uncle, you must eat too."

"Sure little young master."

Rein and Curran enter the dining room, while Mark and Kendrick stand guard at the door.

Rein looked at a girl with long red hair and a man with long red hair with glasses attached to his face.

Wait, long-haired man?

"You guys came too."

"Yes Dad."

"Achoohh."

"...."
