Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer-Chapter 411 Children Playing
"Stoooooop~. Anna's tired now~!" she shouted and fell to the grass-filled ground.
She was chasing after the small furballs and they were just jumping around with wide smiles on their cute faces.
She looked cute while chasing after the young povpoi, but she was now tired. But still, she was smiling as happily as she had been.
They were playing in the open garden before their house and her lovely big sister Zoe was watching over them with her dad, uncles, and big brother Alf carefully studying the small, round, colorful creatures.
They were all people interested in these creatures and as this was a weekend, a good holiday, they had a pretty good time watching and studying the young creatures.
They were genuinely cute, but the way they were playing with the gorgeous young Anna was a scene that they still weren't accustomed to.
It was just too much for them to see such good behavior as suitable for a young child. The other young ones had grown up with mostly weapons or books in their hands, after all.
This actual childish behavior was something these fathers could rarely experience. And as right now was one of those rare moments, they just wanted to live it fully.
[< Hehehe. Sister Anna lost~! >]
[< We won. Yei~~! >]
The cheerful povpoi jumped in excitement and came before little Anna with bright eyes.
[< "You did not win! We are taking a break~!" >]she shouted at the cheerful creatures and their happiness intensified at her strong denial.
[< Nooo~! Anna lost~! >]
Some of them jumped with even more excitement and some turned toward Zoe.
[< Sister Zoe! We won, right~? >]
They were playing a game where one had to catch everyone and when the ones with turn touch them; they lose.
It was a simple childish game, but it was great fun for the children.
Still, it was amazing to see how the two girls were naturally talking with the young povpoi in their special language so easily.
[< "Hehehe. Let's take a break everyone~. We will continue after that~!" >]
[< Nuuuu! Sister Zoe is taking Anna's side! >] many of them retorted at her words but she just smiled and patted Lala's red head.
[< "It's not like that. You see, it's time for lunch, anyway." >] she smiled warmly at them and, though sad, they definitely were hungry from playing around for so long.
They were playing this game since the early morning and only now did little Anna had stopped.
Just the enormous energy these kids had was surprising for the adults watching them, but they were so lost in the play that they themselves had forgotten that they hadn't eaten anything after their breakfast.
The children were just that much mesmerizing, but now that the little girl had set down in exhaustion, they were out of their zone.
"Zoe~! Will we do lunch here? Should I call the ladies here?" the young girl's dad asked with a bright expression as he looked at his exhausted but smiling daughter.
She was playing with children for the first time and he was also seeing his awesome daughter playing happily like that for the first time.
He had never seen his young boy playing with children like this, so this was an even more special experience for him.
The young creatures his son brought with him were now his young daughter's good friends. And he was genuinely thankful to him.
He wasn't here right now, but he knew that he was having fun with his good friend.
It was good that he was having fun and they were having fun too, so it was all good~.
The young girl was exhausted, but the povpoi gathered around her, and the two of them used their light magic, catching adults off guard.
Their natural magic was nothing like what the mages used, but the povpoi were using light magic right now. That much was clear.
There was a white and yellow light shining around the three of their bodies and after a while, it vanished and they smiled at her.
And the yellow and white lights eased her exhibition in just that short moment.
[< Anna is OK now, right~? >] the yellow and white povpoi asked, and she replied with a thankful smile.
[< "Yesss~! Thank you, Ray and Ely~!" >] she patted their heads and stood up with new energy... almost ready to play again.
"Ok dad~. We should call mom and aunts and grandpa and grandma here~. Ohhh! Grandpa Zhen too~!" she shouted at her dad and he nodded vigorously.
"Sister...?" but the little Anna full of fresh energy to play was confused by her words.
"No more playing for a while. Take a break, little one. Healing magic can heal the symptoms and quicken the recovery process, but your stamina hasn't recovered yet. free𝒘ℯ𝗯𝙣𝗼ν𝑒𝗹.𝒄o𝒎
It would have been different if we had Clover with us. Still, it's lunchtime so let's go~."
She picked the little one up and gave her a small kiss.
The little povpoi also wanted a kiss, but there were thirty-two of them before her.
She couldn't kiss every single one of them one by one, so she winked at them and gave them a 'special' flying kiss.
And as soon as she did that, they felt a strange calmness wash over their bodies.
The children found it strange, but they smiled at her and restarted their excited jumping.
"Aww... alright." the little girl in her embrace answered with a low voice and gave a kiss to her good sister.
The young boy watching with the adults, our future great mage Alf, was fascinated by the magic the povpoi used.
It was their special magic and unlike most humans who had to do a long process to conjure magic, they can do so with just a single thought.
It was more fascinating for him than their cute appearance, so his mouth was just open.
At a distance, the mothers of the children were having a quiet talk over a good tea.
The mothers were talking happily and their conversation with the golden furball, the mother of the thirty-two young povpoi, was especially... unique.
"It must have been difficult to raise so many children by yourself, right Mave?" Haze asked with an interested expression and the two ladies and the tiger in a skirt looked at her interestingly.
[ "Yes... well, it was difficult, but they are good children. It was lucky that we got by just fine.
Seeing them play like this is really heartwarming too. It's all thanks to Eon..." ]
All the povpoi could learn new things quickly and create new skills for themselves.
It hadn't been that long since they came here but, just like how the two young girls learned their language to talk with them, she, too, learned [Mana speech] as well as the basics of their language.
She could talk with them quite well now and as this was a weekend, everyone had decided to take a break from their work.
They were just talking right now, under the big umbrella, with their good sisters.
"Right~? My Eon's amazing~!" Nolen cheerfully stated and others nodded in clear agreement.
"Eon is definitely amazing. Even the lizardman he brought with him has become a favorite sparring partner for Carla.
She always uses bad words for him but there's always a smile on her face because she has more fun when losing to him than training by herself~." Aug added with her special dignified voice and others nodded again.
"Just look at Alf too. He follows Anna and the children whenever he's not studying.
Then Anna drags him to play with them~.
It's just too good to see my little baby actually play around like that~." Haze was the most cheerful right now.
It was just too blissful to see her bookworm bibliophile doing something that children actually do.
Still, she knew his heart was in magic, and she understood him. He was a bright child.
"Roar~!" Taika roared with a smile, but no one here, aside from the young girl's father, who had a worried look after that roar, understood what she said.
If Eon or even Rein were here, they would pray for the future of this pitiful father... so the contents of that small, cheerful roar were good when untold.
"Mother~! Aunties~! Taika~! Mave~! We will be having lunch here~!" the young Zoe shouted, and they nodded at her with a smile.
She was a good girl and a smart one, too.
They knew Anna was special and could learn things she wanted faster than any of their kids, but Zoe was no less special.
She was the one that learned the language the povpoi spoke first and taught to the little one. And that all happened in a matter of just a few days.
They needed this much time just to get familiar with the 'unique' way of their eating in the time it took for the young girls to learn a creature's language.
And the fact that they found the sharp-teethed creatures eating hard huge Mana rocks 'cute' was a new thing in itself.
Anna was innocent, but Zoe was her best friend, sister, and mentor.
She taught her basic things and even scolded her strongly when she did something foolish.
They loved her too much to be able to say any harsh words, so the presence of Zoe was a blessing in all their eyes. 𝘧𝘳𝐞𝚎𝑤ℯ𝘣𝗻𝘰ѵℯl.c𝐨𝚖
So... the girls were an inseparable entity, their other children were having fun in their own way, it was also a good feeling to watch their children happy, and lastly, the presence of the new members to this family was only positive until now.
And the ladies, as well as the grandpa, always watching from shadows, prayed it stays the same... or many of them wouldn't even hesitate to...
That was their duty, and they will do it to the best of their abilities.
Thankfully, they had nothing to worry about for now.
So, the afternoon continued.
The work on the back of the house was also going in full swing.
Some of the most famous events of the whole capital were just around the corner, and the venue for the event was the next target for some dark forces.
But neither the cheerful family nor the two young people staring at the peculiar box knew about the summoning taking place not much faraway from their capital.
Well, for now, the family's lunch and the strange box that had picked the interest of both their special eyes were the most important...
