Chapter 4: 4

100 points daughter.

«Take it easy.»

«Do you want some hot milk, An?»

Mom extended her hand, and a small fire appeared under the pot.

My mom and dad are both fire wizards. It’s only as powerful as life magic, but it’s a great skill attribute for a cook.

I, on the other hand, am …….

My dad noticed my gaze and slowly exhaled.

«……Anti, it’s true that I and Sora (Tl Note: Anti Mother) can both make fire. But that’s all. I’m sure you’ll be able to find something that works for you.»

«That’s right, Anti. It’s not just magic that makes you valuable. You were cracking eggs like that during the day. That’s not something a court wizard can do.»

«Hahaha, that’s right.»

Hot milk was placed in front of me.

I understand what you’re saying, and I know you’re trying to encourage me, but …….

«So, what kind of magic was it after all?»

«It’s not …… magic.»

«Hmm?»

«It doesn’t feel like magic to me.»

«It doesn’t?»

«It’s really, really, really weird. The priest has never seen anything like it. It’s abnormal.»

«Really?»

«Usually you can see the level. But I don’t have it. So I don’t know if I can get stronger.»

«You don’t have to be strong.»

«Yes, Anti is doing very well in our store.»

Mom smiles, Dad puts his arm around me and says gently.
But….. but!

«But!! With the money my father and mother worked so hard for! They even sent me to school! and I haven’t accomplished anything!»

«Anti.»

«I know how hard it is to pay for that school with this cafeteria!　I should’ve worked in the cafeteria instead of going to school!»

«An……»

«I was such a failure! I was a failure! Everyone in my class laughed at me and I was a failure! If only I had been born more properly, or at least more normal way────……»

«Anti!!!!»

«────…!

My father yelled at me.

«A……»

«Anti, don’t just stand there, sit down.»

He pulled out a chair.

I looked at my mother.

My mother, who is always smiling, is now staring at me with a serious face.

«Oh, a-are you mad, maybe?»

«Yes, I’m angry. Sit down.»

Well, that’s true, isn’t it?

After working so hard every day to send my daughter to school, she’s something like this. It’s like throwing money down the drain.

I slumped my shoulders and sat down on the chair.

Looking at the steam of the hot milk in front of me, I feel sad.

«Anti.»

Yes, I’m sorry for being such a girl.

«what…»

«Look at me.»

«why?…..»

«Just look at me.»

«why?……»

«Just look at my hair and my eyes.»

Hair and eyes?　

«Why do I need to look at that?»

I don’t know what my dad wants.

«Anti, my eyes are brown, but my hair is clear gold, isn’t it?»

«Huh? Yeah.»

«When I was younger, I worked in a coal mine on the outskirts of Cardiff, digging for coal and magic rocks.»

I’ve heard a little bit about it when I was little. The magic stones from the mines were an important source of funding for the city when it was first built.

«Magical stones in the rough often bounce back light. My blond hair is too light in color to show up on the surface of the stone. My friends used to say that if they dove with me, magical stones would be spotted sooner.»

That’s right. It’s probably dark in the mines, so the bright colors would have stood out. …… But why did he just tell me that?

«It was your mother who used to carry the lunch boxes in the mine.»

«Oh, really?»

«Fufufu»

«Anti, look at her eyes.»

I did as I was told and turned my body towards her.

A woman with a gentle impression is sitting there.

Her hair is black. Her eyes are orange.

«……..I was struck by her eyes and smile. I didn’t know that they were such a beautiful color. I thought, like an idiot, that my hair was the gift of all things. . Sora’s eyes were the color of the sun, like a glowing morning glow or a burning sunset. It was a gift from the world. It was so bright.»

«Oh God, you’re embarrassing me~»

I like my mother’s eyes, too.

The orange in your mother’s eyes has a kind of depth to it.

There are many emotions in her eyes, and they are not one color.

«And then, well, I told her, she gave me you.» (Tl note: Sorry for this sentence, don’t know how to do it understandable. それから、ま、まぁオレが言いよってだな、お前を授かったわけだ)

«Fufufu, Derek was so cute back then~»

That’s great, Dad. You seduced her…….

You’ve always had a straightforward personality, haven’t you?

«So when you were in Sora’s belly, we used to talk about how we wanted a baby with Sora’s eyes.»

«I would be happy with a girl with Derek’s hair.»

«We talked about loving the baby even if it had both, and even if it didn’t have either.»

My face gets hot.

It’s not fair to be straightforward at a time like this.

«You were born shortly after that. I remember that time like it was yesterday. I held you, and we watched together. She had the same blond hair as me.»

«We were both smiling at each other.»

«And then you opened your eyes for the first time in your life. You looked at me. I can still remember that moment.»

«I didn’t know my eyes were this color. It was completely different than when I looked at myself in the mirror.»

«My hair and Sora’s eyes. I didn’t believe in God, but at that moment I was grateful. It’s the best. How could I, no, how could we not love this girl? You’re a blessing to us.»

«Before I knew it, we were both crying, and Ann was looking at me like I was weird, and it was so cute.»

I was crying. It was different from the tears I had been crying earlier.

These people are the best parents I could ever ask for.

They love me.

«I’m sorry. Thank you, father. Thank you, mother.»
