Episode 146 Early education (1)
Lois was silent for a while.
That was because my mind was too complicated.
‘Is this guy really a sword saint?’
Lois calmed her startled heart.
‘Yeah, because the name Kendrick might be a common name.’
Of course, I don’t know how many Kendricks will have red hair like in the original… … .
‘But maybe not?’
Lois became cautious.
‘Kendrick… It’s Kendrick… … .’
There wasn’t much information about Sword Saint Kendrick’s childhood that he knew.
He lived in a village near Generoker’s Lair.
He lost his parents when he was young and lived with his younger sister.
He lost his younger sister when his village was devastated by the light dragon Generoker.
‘Stay, little sister?’
Lois remembered this and looked at Lia and asked.
“Lia, are you… “Do you have a daughter too?”
In response to Lois’ question, Lia opened her eyes and asked back.
“How did you know?”
“I wonder if your name is…” … .”
“Hehe, it’s Tania. “He’s now 4 years old.”
“… … ?!”
Lois’ face hardened once more.
‘ah… shit.’
he lamented.
‘I guess this… ‘I guess that’s right?’
Kendrick’s younger sister.
Her death was an element that formed the Sword Saint’s goal of ‘revenge’ in the story.
Therefore, the younger sister’s name was often mentioned in the original work.
Her name was exactly ‘Tania’.
‘ah… … .’
If you were to look for a boy named Kendrick in a mountain village located in the Nokchi Mountains, you might be able to find a few of them.
but… … .
Red hair.
A younger sister named Tania.
How many Kendricks meet both of these conditions?
All the conditions came together to point out that the six-year-old boy in front of me was Kendrick, the Sword Saint.
‘… Now that I think about it, I think our age range is roughly the same.’
Royce’s current age is 483 years old.
If 16 years pass like this, you will be 499 years old.
In other words, Kendrick was said to be in his early 20s at the time of Lois’ death in the original work.
And the little boy in front of me will turn 22 in 16 years.
“hmm… … .”
Lois moaned softly.
‘good. Let’s say this guy is a swordsman. however… ‘Why are you here?!’
As far as he knew, the village where Kendrick the Sword Saint lived was much closer to Generoker’s Lair than this place.
Therefore, Royce planned to take some time and look for the Sword Saint.
But then out of nowhere, the son of the girl he saved turned out to be Kendrick the Sword Saint… … .
‘ah… That’s why! That’s why she was strangely attracted to Lia!’
Only then did Lois realize why her intuition had told her to help Leah.
When Lois didn’t say anything after a while, Lia gave her a strange look.
“brother? “What’s going on?”
“If it is there, it is there. If not, it is not there… … .”
“Then think about it slowly… Come in first. “You can’t just stand in front of the door forever, right?”
“… “Is that so?”
Lois nodded and Lia smiled brightly and guided him.
Contrary to what it looked like from the outside, Lia’s house was quite spacious.
It was divided into several rooms and a kitchen.
Lois said after looking around the room.
“You are still good at taking care of your housework.”
“Hehe, it’s all because I learned it well from my brother.”
It was no exaggeration to say that as a child, Leah learned everything she needed in life from Lois.
Letters, academics, and other knowledge necessary for daily life.
Lois taught Leah many things as they spent their childhood together.
Lois shrugged her shoulders at Lia’s compliment.
“That’s right. But what about your husband?”
“I’ll probably be back in a little while. “Did you eat more than that?”
“No, not yet.”

“Good for you. “Then let’s eat together after a long time!”
“huh. OK.”
Lia’s face brightened at the thought of being able to have a meal with Lois for the first time in a long time.
It was then.
“mom… … .”
A girl toddles out of a room.
“Is Nia awake?”
“yes… … .”
Leah picked up her daughter.
Then he smiled and hugged Lois.
“ok… … ?”
“Wait a minute. “I have to prepare a meal, hehe.”
Lia smiled and disappeared into the kitchen.
Lois, Kendrick, and Tania remained in the living room.
Lois stared at the girl in her arms.
“… … .”
“… … .”
She resembles Lia, with red hair and white, plump cheeks.
Beautifully shining green eyes with distinct features that are unusual for a child.
He was a very shy child who did not even whine while being held in the arms of someone he had never seen before.
‘He’s just a kid who deserves to be loved by the adults in the neighborhood.’
On the other hand, what about Kendrick, the future sword saint?
Lois’ eyes turned to a corner of the room.
“… … .”
Stick your head out from behind the fireplace and look at those green eyes that are wary of you.
Who would think that kid is a future dragon slayer?
“ha… … .”
As Lois let out a long sigh, Tania, who was in his arms, purred.
‘What is this… … .’
I wonder if it reminds me a little of old times and I go out to play and suddenly find myself looking at the kids.
One of them was even a vicious bastard who might later take over my father.
Lois lifted the child named Tania up to her eyes.
A pretty child who smiles a lot.
When a 483-year-old dragon and a four-year-old child exchange looks.
“Kendrick! Tania! “Daddy’s here!”
The door burst open and a man with blond hair and green eyes came in.
The moment he stepped inside, his eyes met Lois’s.
“… … .”
“… … .”
There was silence between the two for a while.
Suddenly the man pulled out the sword he was wearing at his side and shouted.
“What a guy! “We can’t put our daughter down right now!”
Who wouldn’t be surprised to see a stranger holding their daughter in their own home?
Leah heard the commotion from his shout and appeared.
“Aaron, are you here?”
“honey! “What little kid is taking our children!”
“are you okay. this person is… … .”
“ah! “Do you know him?”
“Not a kid… … .”
“Well, I don’t know whose family this kid is, but he looks tall.”
The blood on Lois’ forehead rose at the words of the blonde man called Aaron.
“Leah.”
“yes?”
“sorry.”
“… … ?”
“I wonder if you will be a widow today.”
The corner of his mouth twitches.
‘This guy keeps calling me a kid!’
Sparks flew from Lois’ eyes.
* * *
Fortunately, Leah never became a widow.
Because she quickly calmed down the situation.
The moment that almost caused an uproar has passed.
Leah, Aaron, Tania, Kendrick, and Lois sat around a table.
At that time, Aaron cleared his throat and opened his mouth.
“Hmm, Ma, I’ve heard a lot about you.”
“what?”
“I have an older brother who took care of me since I was young… … .”
As he said that, Aaron glanced at Lois’ face.
Anyone can see that he looks like he is around 15 years old.
It was to the point where I began to wonder if that boy was really the ‘brother and benefactor’ that Lia had mentioned.
While he was looking at Lois, Lois also looked at Aaron.
‘Is this Leah’s husband?’
An unusually handsome appearance for a hunter villager.
I had only seen him once at a wedding, but I had vaguely heard of him before that.
‘He was a foreigner, right?’
Aaron was a guard in a nearby territory, and when he stopped by this village on a mission, he fell in love with Lia at first sight.
‘Of course Lia is pretty.’
Like Aaron, Leah was also very cute, unlike a country woman.
‘Is this a case of so-called good-looking men and good-natured women meeting each other well?’
When there is a bit of a battle of exploration between the two.
“cadet… … .”
Tania, who was receiving baby food from Lia, suddenly stretched out her hand towards Lois.
Lia smiled and asked her daughter.
“My daughter, do you want to go to your uncle?”
“yes.”
Tania nodded briefly.
Lia looked at Lois as if she was embarrassed.
Lois sighed and stretched out her arms.
“Give it to me.”
“sorry.”
Although her mouth was saying sorry, Lia quickly handed over her daughter.
She said, slightly surprised to see her daughter smiling brightly as soon as she passed over to Lois.
“Nia follows her brother well? “Anden is naturally very shy.”
“… “He’s very shy?”
“yes.”
“this? “Where are you looking?”
Lois poked Tania’s cheek, which had become covered in gum.
The elasticity that came back smoothly was excellent.
“Kyahang-.”
Tania bursts into laughter every time Lois pokes her cheek.
Lia was so amazed by that sight.
“Nia is really shy to begin with. “Right?”
In response to his wife’s question asking for consent, Aaron nodded with a puzzled expression.
“Yes, that’s right. If you’re really shy… “You’ll be embarrassed, even to me.”
“That’s because you kissed Nia without shaving your beard!”
“It was something like that… ?”
A couple bickering right in front of their eyes and six-year-old Kendrick scooping up soup when they ignore it as if it were their daily routine.
And a four-year-old girl sitting on his lap and starting to doze off.
In a situation that seemed peaceful to anyone, Lois was in serious trouble.
‘What should I do… … .’
First of all, I think it’s 99% correct that the unkempt little boy eating with a mouth full of soup is the future Sword Saint.
So what should we do with that guy?
‘It’s right to rule out potential risks, but… … .’
Isn’t it still possible to kill a child, especially Leah’s son?
‘Should we just let them live here in peace?’
If the light dragon does not appear.
And if Tania didn’t die, there would be no reason for the Sword Saint to exist.
If Lois leaves things like this, that six-year-old child may end up becoming Kendrick the Hunter, not the Sword Saint.
but.
‘The problem is him.’
That guy, Elvis, was the problem.
In a situation where he knows the future, would he leave Geomseong, his most powerful helper, as is?
Even if it was just him, he would have tried to find Kendrick first.
‘then… … .’
At that moment, a good idea flashed through Lois’s mind.
‘Before Elvis showed up… All I have to do is get Kendrick on my side, right?’
The situation couldn’t have been better.
Before Elvis met Kendrick, he met Kendrick when he was young.
Lois smiled to herself.
He opened his mouth to the couple who were still arguing.
“Leah.”
“yes?”
Lia finally turned her attention to Lois’ call.
“How do you plan on educating Kendrick?”
“hmm… I’m still young, so I haven’t thought much about it… … ?”
“That’s right.”
Despite what they say, there are no parents who have been indifferent to their children’s education.
Lois dug into that.
“then… “Would you like me to take a look?”
“yes?”
Lia, who had blinked for a moment at Lois’ words, blushed.
She immediately asked loudly.
“really? “Can you really do that?”
“what… It’s your child. “You can take some time.”
“If you give it to me, that’s fine!”
She had learned a lot from Lois when she was young, so she knew very well how knowledgeable he was.
Also, you won’t find a better teacher than Lois in this mountain village.
At that time, Bolmen’s voice was heard from one side.
“Even if I teach Kendrick… … .”
“Aaron! “You stay still!”
“Huh, honey?”
Aaron chimed in as if he was slightly disapproving, but his shoulders soon slumped due to Lia’s determination, which was full of passion for children’s education.
This was the first time Aaron had seen Lia with such fierce eyes since they got married.
Lia shouted, looking at Lois with eyes full of heat.
“Brother Lois, I really need to ask you something!”
Lois easily obtained her parents’ consent.
He smiled brightly.
“don’t worry. “I will try my best to teach you.”
In addition, Royce made a bitter mockery towards Elvis, who exists somewhere in the world.
‘If you want to take Kendrick somewhere, take him. ‘I don’t know if this guy wants to follow you.’
His gaze met Kendrick’s green eyes.
In response, Royce smiled kindly at the young Sword Saint.
So that day.
Early education of Kendrick, the future swordsman… No, brainwashing disguised as early education was decided.
