The next day, Free's house was getting repaired while he was in an inn with Sylvia and others, his clothes hanged on the chair and Sylvia's too, Hina and Hinata were on other room and Lina and Elina were on the opposite to them, his eye twitched and opened, the rings glowing again in his hand.
''hmm'' he stretch his hands with a faint smile on his face, the rings let a cling sound contacting with eachother as he stretch his hands upward, he move his fingers and crack his knuckles, and wore his clothes. '' where's breakfa....'' he suddenly remembered he was in the inn, his house was getting repaired after the destruction yesterday. ''Yeah, Sylph almost destroyed my hou..... She brung the rings, I'm just a victim'' he muttered, staring at the ten rings, turning back, he gave a kiss on Sylvia's cheek and gone outside.
After he left the room, Sylvia's eye opened, she sat on her bed and hugs his pillow tightly, cheeks bright red. 'He always do this when I'm not awake!!' she thought punching his pillow multiple times.
One the other room, Lina had dark circles under her eye. 'I will remember to put a sound blocking paper on the door next time' she thought, closing her eye. 'and i'm not letting them have their lovey dovey moment at home' she thought again, and put a pillow on her head and fell asleep.
Hina and Hinata too just fallen asleep earlier on the other room. Free on the otherhand was on a food stall, he drank some tea and check a paper of his profit for the week and after evaluation of the hot spring employees salary and the ramen stall employees salary he got 10 gold coins, enough for his house to be repaired.
Just then, Sylph came inside the stall and sat opposite to him, she stared at him with a smirk on her face, he didn't pay her attention but her stare just got more intense as the time passed. ''What do you want?'' he flatly asked, Sylph smirk wider and put a finger on the table.
''Free, a C-rank mage with the knowledge of seven royal mages combined, creator of the skyboard and son of Philip, the sword lord'' she said, Free lips curled, his eye twitched, now eye fixed on her. ''Your father died half a year ago in the stampede and your mother lost all her memories too, she is now like a seven year old, right'' she said, Free's hand trembled remembering that moment, his eye glowed yellow, his mana increased, the rings in his hand glowed golden, brighter than yesterday.
''And'' he asked in a low scary voice, Sylph covered her nose blocking the blood coming out from her nose due to too much mana.
''I was just asking'' she said, but he wasn't convinced, his eye was fixed on her with a scary glow on his pupil. 'Just how much mana does he have!?' she thought, pushing the chair back.
''Oh–ohh, Free you're here!'' Sylvia came at that moment seeing Free's face she knew what will happen, she put a hand on Free's head and comforted him, his eye stopped glowing and the mana decreased. Sylph blinked, her granddaughter calm Free down with just a word and a touch?.
'She might be the most dangerous' she thought, jumping to Sylvia and hugged her by the neck, patting her head. ''You're so cute, why not join my adventure~!!" She hugged her tighter.
''La–lady Sylph, p–please let her go..'' Free tried to calm Sylph down but she grab him by his neckwith her other hand hugging both tightly.
''You can join too!!" she said, hugging them both and patting Free's head with her chin.
''Okay...let him go'' Lina came in yawning, sleep deprived she unconsciously takes Free's tea and drank it, Sylph stared at her and pull her hand away from both Free and Sylvia.
Free and Sylvia coughed, he helped her stand up and both sat on their chair, Sylph and Lina stared at eachother, both giving each other a glare, Lina's had dark circles under her eye and her glare was a sleep deprived one, Sylph smirked and sat down, she take her tea and took a sip.
''Anyway, i heard your hot spring is really relaxing, i tasted ramen yesterday and it was delicious!! Can I get a bath for Free?" She asked, Free didn't even hesitate and he nodded, Sylph gave him a pay on the back and left. Free ordered a new tea and took a sip and Lina just realised she accidentally drank his tea.
Outside Sylph and Sylphia were going to the hot spring, giggling all the way to the hot spring. After sometime they were on the private section, Sylph took a sauna for a while and went in the hot bath.
''My grandson–in–law is amazing, making something like this'' she praised, Sylphia just chuckled, knowing what Free did even whenhe was a kid.
''He is just.... different'' Sylphia said, getting out of the bath water, Sylph looked at her confusedly but she shrugged it off and splash hot water on her face.
On the other hand, Free was on the village hallw signing some documents and scrolls again, he hands Sylvia some gold coins to built a small dam on the village–side for people to use and some approval for new hole on the village.
'More and more people are coming to live in the village, it will be more troublesome if the population reach fifty five thousand, I'll have to reject some request' he thought, another pile of document came, Jorik put it on the other empty side of the desk, Free sighed tiredly.
''tired?'' he asked, Free shook his head and take a document from the new ones and what he saw. Slam!. It wasn't a document it was a letter from the capital that came for the third time this month, the capital had sent an official letter that the village will become a Town anytime soon and rejection wasn't an option that time
''Damn nobles'' he said in frustration, tearing the letter in half.
