If you are wondering what kind of person my dad is, then the appropriate term to describe him would be a ‘researcher’.
My dad is a person that’s continuously brimming with curiosity. As long as there is anything in this world that could pique his interest, he would dive into study and research, regardless of what is it.
For example, history, engineering, magic, arts, music, martial arts, humans, animals, plants, language, psychology, culture, society, religion, sports, et cetera.
He had no specific interest.
Of course, my dad would get bored at some particular point— and that is the point where he completed his ‘research’.
Though he may seem to be busy at all times— there are certain things he never neglects— his family and his faith towards the ‘God of Creation’.
I’ve spent time watching my father from behind, and I always believed that my father is a person who does not believe in such thing as the existence of ‘celestial gods’.
Current time: 7.32 am. It’s been ten hours since the ‘hunting ground’ started. After I take in place of Nightwalker, I have been watching while standing just right outside the borderline of the hemisphere. I thought I could find ways to help them escape, but I gave up that thought afterwards. Even if they escaped from the ‘hunting ground’… what then? I soon learnt from Forsjá that there’s no way to destroy nor get into the ‘hunting ground’. Because the ‘hunting ground’ is meant initially to trap their preys without allowing them to escape. In these ten hours, the three of them never got the chance to rest at all— the moment they try to take a break, Dómr would make a surprise attack, exhausting them even further. Stamina and mana… they are almost at their limits. “…!” …Pearl’s and Asha’s wounds aren’t healing anymore. They had to take on Dómr’s full blows because their body size is limiting their options
After a long-lasting night— Felix, Asha, Pearl, Forsjá, Restia and that man is finally able to earn a good sleep. Especially those three, they were pretty exhausted from their fight against Dómr. Since everyone was up all night— I put all of them to sleep. Restia is sleeping in her room, that man is in the living room, while the others were at the backyard sleeping together. Even though I’m entirely exhausted myself, but I couldn’t get a single wink of sleep— because I know I’m not able to until I’m able to find Ruby. It’s been six days since she’s gone. While marking the places I have been on my map with a pen while lying on the grass, I realized only one-third of the island were searched. …It’s around 11am now. The only ones who are wide awake, are me and Dómr— which Dómr is resting next to me. After folding the map neatly and put it aside on my left, I turn my head to face Dómr— the Alpha of the Fenrir wolf,
By the time we returned before 2pm, I find that man from afar.He’s on the front yard, lying on his back as he gazes on the cloudy sky.He looks so relaxed.…Just like dad.“Oh… you’ve returned.” He murmured.He notices us as soon as Dómr went near to him.I wondered why he had a shadow figure of dad…“I’m hungry. Go cook for me.” He demanded.Jumping down from Dómr’s back, I glared at him with an annoyed look.“…Go cook it yourself.” I retorted.“Fine then, if you will excuse me… it’s time for charcoal lunch then.”I wondered why he pisses me off so much.“Fine, fine! You win!” I uttered.Geez, I had a headache.……………………………………………
My ears— must be playing tricks on me. No, not only my ears— perhaps I was being tricked right from the start, or maybe this man is just nuts. This man right in front of me… doesn’t look like a king at all. But, there’s no reason for him to make such a lie. Even if he’s lying just to get a better hospitality, I’m sure he already knows I wouldn’t give a damn about his status at all. “What’s wrong, future king candidate? Cat caught your tongue?” He muttered. “Or is it perhaps… you did not expect that the king of the Central Imperial Island is in such a pinch right now?” Just as he says that with an evil grin, he gave me a wall slam. Such a pinch, he said. It doesn’t match that evil grin he had on him now. “So… what you promised me earlier is just nothing but an empty shell?” I replied. “Empty shell? Nonsense.” He then slowly retreated. “I mark my words, brat.” “…What do you mean you are in a pinch
“A kid like me, unite the world…?” I muttered. “You must be crazy.” “Tch. You are so stubborn.” He uttered. “The same goes for you.” I retorted. He’s so stubborn to make me king. “I will cook yours now, Restia— you must be hungry.” The conversation we had made me fed-up, that’s why I find this chance to leave. Leaving him alone, Restia and Felix followed behind. ………………………………… As I’m cooking some fried rice, Restia, who has been staring at me from behind, finally speaks. “……Big brother, are we really going to leave…?” Restia asks. “…this island.” “…You know we can’t stay here. Our supplies won’t last long.” “…what if papa really came back?” “We could leave a message behind. You are my precious little sister, Restia— I can’t let anything happen to you.” “…did you forget about Ruby…?” “I would never. I will definitely find her, no matter what.” “Big brother…” Restia s
Saturday, 20th July. 6.54 pm.Current location: Home, backyard.Before night descends, or rather, before 7pm… I return home together with Restia and the others, while bringing a new friend— the Cithaeron lion, Fylgja.Maybe it’s because of the odour on Fylgia… Felix, Asha, and Pearl came to greet us as they stare at her.“Myaster, why is there a lion here…?!”Felix seems somewhat surprised and confused.“Lion…? You don’t remember who is she…?” I murmured.“I’ve never seen her before,” Felix replied.“Arf…!”“What you mean I’ve met her before…?”Even with Forsjá reminding her, she still does not remember.“How could you not remember? She’s one of the lions who almost killed me…!” I murmured.Hearing my remark, Fylgia lowers her head
"Restia…!!!"While desperately calling my little sister's name as I woke up, I find myself lying on the sofa in the living room."HAH— I can't breathe— HAH— HAH— Phew— HUFF… HUFF…"What's wrong with me…? Why am I this exhausted…?While looking around on the sofa, I repeatedly did some quick and shallow breathing to recover from the fatigue that occurred on my body."Huff… R… Restia…"…My throat is so dry that I couldn't shout.Where is my little sis…?Restia, where are you…?"Guh…!"THUD!Mustering strength on my body, I did a flip to turn myself over— falling on the floor."B— BIG BROTHER…!" 
It's almost midnight. With a High-Power LED torchlight that I got from the garage; I head out in the dark with a katana and a dictionary with me on my backpack. After leaving my little sister at her room… I left a note behind in her room and that man's room— a note saying that I'm going out for a while. I'm doing so because I don't want her to worry, as well as to let that man take care of her if anything is happening to me. Speaking of him, since that man is all tied up, I'm sure it'd be okay if I leave him and Restia alone in that house. I also sealed his magic by tying the knife on him along with the chains. When I close the front door silently, Alpha Fenrir's daughter approaches me. "W…Where…… go……?" She seems energetic at this hour. As expected, she's not fluent in my language. I think she's askin
