Grandfather“s Butt, And Knocked On Your Father“s Head
“Are you going to the ice cream shop with me, Big Sister? All the kids adore you,” Yabemiya said to Elizabeth with a smile as they walked on the road.
“Adore me?” Elizabeth frowned. She didn’t actually like the noisy kids, as she liked to be quiet. She went to the ice cream shop yesterday because she was bored in the dormitory. She just scattered some snowflakes casually, and didn’t even smile at them at all.
“Yes. The children are asking me if you are a real snow queen. You look beautiful and cold, and have control over ice and snow.” Yabemiya nodded with pride on her face.
“Snow Queen…” Elizabeth whispered as she remembered the children’s smiling faces. She gave a rare smile as she nodded. “I’ll go there for a short while.”
“Alright.” Yabemiya smiled and nodded as she continued walking with her arm linked with Elizabeth’s.
…
In the ice cream shop. An orc with sunken eye sockets pleaded with Yabemiya, “Miss Yabemiya, can I ask you for a favor, please? Can you hold a snowflake birthday party for my child’s last birthday please…? He was borned on a snowy day, and he has loved snow since he was young. He loves ice cream too. But the doctor says he won’t live for too long now, and most probably won’t get to see this year’s first snow. I beg you, please make an ice cream cake for him and let him watch the snow fall… even though it’s fake…”
“Mr Curtis, how is little Kyle doing? You said you will be bringing him over previously, but I didn’t see you guys at all. Is his illness very serious now?” Yabemiya asked the orc with some heartache and urgency.
“I’m sorry. Someone said there is an old physician at the city’s outskirts who might be able to cure Kyle, so I brought him there. But Kyle got even worse after a few days of treatment, so that physician asked me to bring him back. He won’t last for more than a few days.” Curtis looked sad and despondent.
“Kyle is a good kid. Heavens are so unfair to him.” Yabemiya looked at Curtis piteously. He had always brought little Kyle to the shop for ice cream since it was open for business. He was a healthy child who just suddenly fell sick one day, and never came back to the shop again.
And this man who could be considered successful became haggard within a few months because of his child. Bays of being parents.
Curtis had come to the ice cream shop once when Kyle became critically ill previously. But he hadn’t come again after that, so this matter just went away quietly.
Yabemiya looked pleadingly at Elizabeth, who was sitting at the side. She didn’t know magic, and she couldn’t conjure up snowflakes, but Elizabeth was super good at that, and the snowflakes she conjured up were even real. If little Kyle could see the snowfall from last night’s, he would be very happy.
She’s always so kind. I really don’t know what to do with her. Elizabeth nodded helplessly.
Yabemiya’s eyes lit up, and she nodded at Curtis. “Please bring little Kyle here tomorrow night. The ice cream shop would be operating for the entire day tomorrow. However, I still have to ask my boss’s permission for this. But, he is a super nice person, so he most probably wouldn’t say no.”
“Thanks. Thank you.” Curtis bowed deeply at Yabemiya. Then, he wiped his tears and left.
I hope there will be a miracle. Kyle is still so young… Yabemiya thought as she looked toward the door.
“Since he will not recover after having an ice cream cake, why does he still want to eat it?” Elizabeth said perplexedly.
“I heard that when a person dies without any regrets, he or she will be able to go to a carefree place,” Yabemiya said with a smile.
“Go to a carefree place…” Elizabeth wondered, and no longer said anything.
…
“Boss, a customer came to the shop today and asked us to hold a birthday party for his son…” Yabemiya informed Mag about this matter at noon.
“I’m sorry. I agreed without asking for your permission first, but Kyle is such a poor thing. He’s only 4.5 years old,” Yabemiya said to Mag.
“Miya, you are the manager of the ice cream shop, so you are totally authorized to decide about this. And if he had asked me, I would have agreed too. Although we are operating an ice cream shop, I hope the ice cream that we sell has warmth to it, not simply being an ice cube,” Mag said with a smile.
“He’s such a poor thing. Why doesn’t Father make him a good meal? Then he will recover,” Amy said sympathetically.
“Tomorrow’s the restaurant’s rest day. Let’s celebrate little Kyle’s birthday together tomorrow night. If this is going to be his last birthday, he should be even happier to receive so many blessings,” Mag said after some pondering.
“Yes. He has been a very active child, and he would love the company.” Yabemiya nodded and looked at Mag with a touched expression. The boss was indeed a very kind-hearted person.
After lunch and a short period of rest, the busy lunch service began.
“Amy, do you know what a harem is?” Anna asked Amy softly after she got her into a corner with her.
Amy shook her head, and curiously asked, “Harem? I have no idea, Big Sister Anna. What is that? Is it a palace[1]?”
“I have no idea, either. That big sister said that this morning.” Anna shook her head and pointed at Camilla, who just happened to come in. “She said that Big Sister Shirley and the rest are all Uncle Mag’s harem.”
“This must be a term with a deep underlying meaning. There could be a giant secret hidden beneath it. I have to ask someone who knows it in order to fulfil the assignment given to me by Big Sister Irina.” Amy nodded thoughtfully.
Gloria didn’t come to Mamy Restaurant for lunch.
“I have wasted so much time lining up, and yet I didn’t see the person I wanted to see the most. This is so disappointing,” Camilla mumbled disappointedly before she pulled out a chair and sat right across Krassu.
Normally, this seat was vacant as nobody dared to sit right across the legendary great magic caster, even though he didn’t seem to be very scary and even looked very kind.
“Hey old man, you look rather familiar?” Camilla asked, having stared at Krassu for a while after she sat down.
“Because I had dug out your great-grandfather from his grave, kicked your grandfather’s butt, and knocked on your father’s head,” Krassu answered calmly.
“If you say so, then you should be very familiar.” Camilla nodded before her eyes suddenly widened. She jumped up instantly and took two steps back as she looked at Krassu warily and said, “You… You are the Lord of Fire, Krassu!”
[1] Le editor’s remark: one of Chinese words for harem is literally “back palace”, so it’s probably that; I just don’t know if it’s used for the anime-derived harem.
