Chapter 21 Part1: To the Beastman Territory

Translator: Michiko

Editor: Elena

The next day, when Reiru told Gio that he wanted to visit the children from the orphanage, Gio promptly packed his bags as if he had anticipated Reiru would say so and completed the formalities of checking out of the inn. 

Before heading to the teleportation station, they stopped by the inn where Reiru worked and said goodbye to everyone. Reiru handed the little girl the ribbon he had bought in town, and with tears in her eyes, she said, “You have to write to me. Promise.”

The experiences in this town became a lasting image of Reiru’s trip and memories that will be remembered for a lifetime.

While they were in the carriage, on their way to the orphanage from the beastmen territory’s teleportation station, Reiru admired the lush green scenery and contemplated what he would do in the future. 

Gio told him that the children were completely adjusted to the beastmen territory’s orphanage and that they instantly hit it off with the beast children and were doing well. 

Even though some of the children became unstable due to the change in environment and Reiru’s absence, they managed to settle down with the support of the people at the orphanage.

The rank where Gio currently stood must have been the result of many years of hard work and enthusiasm on Gio’s part. 

When Reiru looked at the children, there were those who identified early in life with what they were passionate about and those who didn’t. Reiru believed that children who fell into the former category would be happiest if they were to live out their passions.

As a child, Gio was one of those children. Gio realized his magic aptitude, refined his abilities, and brought them out into full force in the royal capital. 

By following his passion, getting recognition for his talents, and utilizing them, he has benefited many people. In turn, he contributed to his country. Very few people can live that way. 

Gio was a person who could live that way; Reiru thought it would be a pity to deliberately give it up. 

Nevertheless, Gio was a man who had a unique sense of values—a man who declined to marry the princess. Reiru knew that his standard of pity didn’t apply to Gio.

Unlike Gio, who always seemed to easily determine his passions and goals in his life, Reiru felt that it was not quite in his nature to think about what he wanted to do when he was confronted with the question. 

Maybe it was because Reiru had never lived that way before. However, just like when Reiru worked at the inn, Reiru felt that such a simple life was just right. A life where he could make the necessary choices along the way based on the situation, work to the best of his ability in his own way, and have small joys with his colleagues at work.

Reiru wanted a life where Gio didn’t have to quit the Order of Knights, where he could find a job while living with Gio in the royal capital, and occasionally visit the children in the beastmen territory. Wouldn’t it be enough if they could live like that? 

If Reiru could, he also wanted to do activities that would give underprivileged children the opportunity to learn. 

Reiru, who had always been bothered by the poor conditions of employment for children from orphanages, started to think like that.
