Chapter 33
The ones who came to see me were my mother and Sevenus. As soon as she opened the door, my mother ran towards me.
Surprised, I sat up from the bed. Then, my mother hugged me tightly.
"Revy, Revy."
I was having a relaxing day thanks to Fanatic, who gave me a break from training because it was a joyful day.
"Revy, my son, my baby."
I was startled by my mother, who suddenly came in and embraced me. But I returned the hug, feeling the warmth of her arms.
Then, I felt one of my shoulders getting wet. At the same time, I saw my mother's body trembling slightly in her uniform.
My mother looked at me with tears in her eyes.
"I'm so glad, I'm so glad. My baby."
"Mother..."
My mother raised her shaking hand and caressed my cheek. Seeing her like that, I suddenly thought.
'This is what it feels like to have a mother.'
In my previous life, I was an orphan. So this was the first time I felt this emotion.
-Sniffle, waaah...
However, the moment was ruined by Kyros, who cried like an idiot.
My mother caressed my face and hugged me again.
"Mother, thank you."
I didn't know why, but I wanted to say that.
"No, thank you. For enduring all this time, for holding on..."
Suddenly, I couldn't answer my mother's words. It felt like there was a thorn in my throat.
It was because I wasn't the real Revelof.
'...I'm sorry.'
I internally swallowed my apology and looked away. Then, I met Sevenus' eyes, who was standing by the door.
Sevenus had reddened eyes, both when he heard the results from Dr. Frank and right now.
He looked cold on the outside, but he didn't seem to be a bad person.
I had to watch the tears of my mother and Sevenus for a while.
In the darkness where I couldn't see even an inch ahead. I was there. In a space with no end.
Then, at some point, I saw a faint light. I ran towards it. It felt like I had to do that. I ran along the path of light and kept running until everything became bright.
'Revy! Come here.'
Two people appeared. 'My' mother and father.
I ran towards them, who reached out their hands to me. I tripped over my feet and fell, but they waited for me with smiles.
I stretched out my short legs and ran hard. And finally, when I was in their arms,
'It's warm... Warm?'
Everything went dark.
Once again, nothing was visible. What followed after was a sharp pain.
It was hard to breathe and I felt like my whole body was being crushed.
'Revy, my baby...'
'I'm sorry, Revy.'
My mother and father, who were smiling brightly before, were now shedding tears. I reached out my tiny hand and wiped their tears away. Then, their tears became thicker.
And again, pain followed.
At the same time,
"Hurk!"
I woke up from sleep.
"Haa, haa..."
I gasped for air. My forehead and back were damp as if I had sweated a lot.
I didn't even think of wiping the sweat off. I just sat there blankly.
'What was that dream?'
The vivid pain that I felt until just now had disappeared.
'I'm sure it hurts...'
But, it didn't hurt anymore.
'Did I have a nightmare?'
I took a deep breath and exhaled.
'The dream... was too realistic.'
I left the reception room first. The children tried to see me off, but I refused. Somehow, it felt like I was holding a high position in a company.
I felt a strange feeling and headed to the office. Then Zain, who was initially sitting on the sofa, got up quickly when he saw me.
"Master, you are here?"
"Yeah."
"Why do you look happy today?"
"It's because of the servant... no, brother, who joined us."
"Ah. Priest Cyril? Come to think of it, he became an official priest today. He's pitiful but he was nice."
"Pitiful? More than you?"
My direct slave.
I smiled and countered him. Zain pouted his lips.
Why are you picking a fight when you can't even get your money back?
"So what about the thing I asked you to find out?"
"Of course I found it."
I sat down opposite Zain and asked him. Then Zain straightened his chest and spoke confidently,
"As you said, there is a clash between orcs and goblins on Beon Mountain."
"Really?"
"Yes. According to rumors, there is a treasure on Beon Mountain, and they are fighting to claim it."
My lips curled up involuntarily. The 'treasure' was what I was aiming for.
"But, there is one thing that bothers me."
Zain's eyes, which were playful until now, became cold. Sensing something bad, I also asked him quietly,
"What is it?"
"I'm not sure, but it seems that an agent of Diego Faith often visits that area."
I bit my lip.
"An agent of Diego Faith... Don't tell me---"
"I don't have the exact information, but my guess is that he is one of the 'Apostles'."
Damn it.
I brushed back my messy hair.
"Do you know who he is?"
Zain shook his head with a bitter face.
"I can't search that far. It's not even certain that he is a real 'Apostle'."
Even if an 'Apostle' appeared, I couldn't give up on the treasure.
"Well done."
I praised Zain with a smile on my lips. It was amazing that he collected this much information in the first place. The distance between Beon Mountain and Holden territory was quite far.
"So, when are you going to leave?"
Look at this guy.
"You asked me to get the information on Beon Mountain because you want to get the treasure, right?"
He's quick-witted.
"I'll go as soon as I get better."
"Ah. Can I prepare too?"
I grinned.
"Of course."
"Revy, how's your body these days?"
Since I started receiving treatment at Kyros Faith, the family meal time has increased.
My mother and Sevenus often ate with me even though they were busy.
"It's better."
"Good, you look healthier as well."
As my condition improved, my mother's smile never stopped and Sevenus' expression became brighter than before.
That's what I thought.
"But lately, you're not just getting treatment at the temple, are you?"
Sevenus asked sharply.
[E/N: The part about our MC experiencing a nightmare (and how his feelings were written throughout the start-mid chapter) is an interesting portrayal of himself.
He seemed to feel guilty as he started to familiarize himself with being Revelof Holden.
That aside, I hope you enjoy this chapter.]
