A Former Police Officer Who Died And Get A Second Life!-Chapter 115: An Unexpected Grandmother

Her strength did not feel like that of a normal woman at all.

He tapped her arm in surrender and Sarin who had come back to his senses first quickly try to pulled her away.

"S-sorry about that. Are you alright?"

He had almost seen heaven.

"I-I’m... fine..."

He clearly did not look fine.

Albe gently rubbed his back and Qiong Xing thanked him.

Katarina who had finally regained her senses rushed over in panic.

"I-I’m sorry. Are you hurt?"

She looked at him with real concern.

Qiong Xing assured her again that he was fine. Then, for some reason, Sarin suggested that he should rest in a room for a while.

Since he was not seriously injured, Qiong Xing tried to decline politely.

However, Katarina and Sarin seemed to think it was a wonderful idea.

Before he knew it, they escorted him away almost by force.

...How did this happen?

Qiong Xing could only tilt his head in confusion.

Qiong Xing was forcibly taken by the two strong-willed elders into a room behind the reception desk.

Now he was sitting on a sofa, with the two older people smiling brightly as they sat close on either side of him, blocking his escape.

In terms of age, they were probably around the same age he had been in his previous life. But in this situation, he could not feel happy about that.

If anything, it was frightening.

"Well now, I’m really glad you weren’t hurt. Since this is a good opportunity, let’s have a little talk."

What was good about this situation and what exactly did they want to talk about?

He could not run.

And even if he called for help, there was no one in this guild who could possibly rescue him from the two people at the very top.

Cari and Albe had followed him into the room, but they did not seem to know what to do.

They stood near the entrance and watching them carefully.

Cari looked like he wanted to come closer, but Albe was somehow holding him back.

Nice job, Albe.

"Um... what is it that you want to talk about? I don’t believe I’ve broken any rules..."

If he was being called in like this, there had to be some reason.

However, Qiong Xing had not been coming to the guild much lately, so he could not think of anything he had done wrong.

"Oh, you’ve misunderstood. It’s true we’ve been waiting for you to come, but it’s not to scold you for breaking any rules."

"That’s right. In fact, we were waiting because we have a favor to ask you."

A favor?

From the top leaders of the guild?

To someone like him, who was only an F-rank adventurer?

...Why?

As Qiong Xing tilted his head in confusion, he suddenly felt someone pat his head.

Actually, he was being patted from both sides.

"Um..."

"Ah, sorry, sorry. About that favor. It’s a nominated request for you."

"A nominated request? For me? Could it be... gathering medicinal herbs again?"

If it was a nominated request, he remembered that he had received something like that before.

"No, no. Well, that request has come in again, so you’re not exactly wrong... but this time it’s a different one."

A different request?

Qiong Xing did not think he had enough acquaintances yet to be nominated for something.

"I see. I don’t know if it’s something he can do, but if he hears the details and it seems possible, he will accept it."

"I thought you would say that. Of course, if it’s impossible, you can refuse too. We tried to gently turn them down a few times ourselves, but the other party wouldn’t give up. Honestly, they were so persistent that it became quite troublesome."

Just hearing that made him want to refuse already.

He felt uneasy about it, but he decided that at least listening would not hurt.

Just as he prepared himself.

"No, no! I’m going to Mama!"

Cari who had apparently reached his limit, broke free from Albe’s hold and ran over to hug Qiong Xing tightly.

"He’s Cari’s Mama. Don’t take Mama away!"

So that was what he was worried about?

Qiong Xing had expected something like "Don’t bully Mama," but he did not expect "Don’t take Mama away."

It seemed that seeing the two elders fuss over him made Cari think they were trying to take his mama away.

"Mama?"

Both Katarina and Sarin looked surprised. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Qiong Xing gave a proper introduction again.

"You probably know since I’m registered as an adventurer, but this child is someone I’m took in due to certain circumstances. His name is Caribert and he is now my son. The older one over there is Alberich and he’s Cari older brother. They are wearing collars for safety reasons, but they are hismy precious family. If you cannot accept that, then please forget the request we were just discussing."

"...That part is fine, I suppose... but why ’Mama’? It’s not like the child doesn’t understand your gender, right?"

As expected, they questioned that.

Qiong Xing gave a small, awkward smile.

"He understands it properly and I doesn’t mind being called Papa either... but my mates is male. So in Cari’s mind, I naturally took the position of Mama."

Qiong Xing himself had already grown used to being called Mama.

However, Katarina and Sarin seemed quite shocked and kept staring at him.

Perhaps it was still rare among humans.

If they knew that his partners were beastmen and that there were three of them they would be even more surprised.

But since they had not asked, there was no need to explain.

"Cari likes Mama to be Mama."

"I see. I’m happy that Cari became my child as well."

It was a little disappointing that he would probably never be called Papa.

But if Cari wanted him to be Mama, then Qiong Xing had no complaints.

Qiong Xing was the one who decided to take Cari in.

He wanted to make him happy.
