Chapter 27

Yesterday was a day filled with various events.

Before going to bed, I followed some suspicious men, renovated the Slanita Finance, and sent everyone there to the stars. Then, I got the secret ledger and various documents from the safe in the basement, all according to plan.

However, the amount of information afterward was overwhelming...

- I met Samiue, a cute and cool elf girl

- I found out that my mother was actually the queen of the elves

- I learned that my father had kidnapped her

- Samiue and my father had obtained the [Jewel]

- My mother used it to turn from an elf into a human

"Hmm, the Jewel..."

I never thought that the [Jewel (God)] I obtained in the game before my reincarnation would be used to prolong my mother's life, turn her from an elf into a human, and be used in this world.

It probably has something to do with my birth as well.

After all, they said that elves and humans can't have children, yet I was born normally.

So, here's the situation.

"Status"

With the new information, I checked!

As expected, there was an additional notation that wasn't there before—

- Name: Renny Shulm Guora

- Race: Elf (Sealed)

- Age: 3

- Level: 999 (-97%)

"Sealed..."

I was just an elf before, but now it says (Sealed).

This means that while my race is elf, my powers are sealed, which is why I look human.

"Protection...?"

My mother wished to become human using the [Jewel].

As a result, she has been living as a human, but from what I understand, the difference between elves and humans is the circulation of magic power in the body.

My mother lost the ability to control the magic power in her body and was on the brink of death.

The [Jewel] must have either eliminated or sealed her magic power, or had some other effect to make her indistinguishable from a human.

It didn't change her race to human; it made her have the same abilities as a human while remaining an elf.

And I inherited that and was born.

"Magic power manipulation... might not be possible..."

My race is elf, but my magic power is sealed.

Considering this, it's unlikely that I can manipulate magic power.

I thought I could do it after seeing the cool Samiue, but I probably need to unseal it first...

"Should I search for the Jewel?"

It was said that there are seven Jewels in this world.

What if I search for them and wish to unseal the seal?

If my mother regains her elf powers, it might lead her back to death, and since she's living with my father, that's not an option.

But I can probably return to being an elf.

Plus—

"I want to see it"

What color is the actual [Jewel]?

How big is it?

What kind of shine does it have?

Thinking about it made my heart race.

The [Jewel] I wanted to search for before my reincarnation. There are seven of them in this world.

I don't want to obtain them. Unsealing the seal isn't the top priority either.

But my heart says, "I want to see it."

"Alright"

I got up from the bed where I had been lying down.

I stayed up late last night, so I overslept.

After all, I'm just a three-year-old. After hearing about my parents' situation and saying I wanted to go on a journey, I felt relieved and got very sleepy.

So, I think Samiue told my parents about what I did in Slanita.

I quickly got dressed and went down the stairs to find my mother working in the kitchen.

"Mom"

"Oh, Renny, you're up. Good morning"

"Good morning"

"Since you were up late last night, are you still sleepy?"

"No, I'm fine. But I'm hungry"

I hadn't eaten breakfast before going to bed, so my stomach was growling.

My mother laughed and immediately prepared some soup.

I sat at the table and ate with a wooden spoon, and my mother sat in front of me.

My mother is usually busy working or looking out the window anxiously.

Her unusual behavior made me look up, and she was smiling.

"Mom, aren't you busy?"

"Yes. Actually, thanks to a cute and strong girl, not only do I not have to work hard, but the danger has also disappeared."

My mother's eyes were gentle...

Even though she was the queen of the elves, she had been struggling as a human.

If she can be a bit more comfortable, that's really good.

I felt happy, and my mouth couldn't help but smile while eating the soup.

Then, my mother patted my head.

"Yesterday, Samiue said that Renny has incredible power. Your father and I, along with Samiue, had a talk, and we were wondering if you could give us a little time."

"Time?"

"Yes. Renny, you want to go on a journey soon, but we want you to live with us until you're four."

It's about half a year until my fourth birthday.

I thought about what I've done so far and what I can do in the next half year.

I healed my father's body and made the family farm prosperous.

I defeated the debt collectors who broke into our house and got the loan documents back.

Then, I destroyed Slanita Finance, which was still targeting my mother.

What's left...

"Okay. I'll stay until I'm four."

"Thank you..."

When I nodded, my mother smiled genuinely.

"Your father and I have a lot of things we want to do with Renny. We want to go on a picnic with a lunchbox, go shopping in town, and do things we couldn't do before."

"Sounds fun"

"We'll make a lot of memories with Renny."

"Okay"

My parents were just trying to survive and hide me.

I think they've come to terms with my decision to go on a journey and the information Samiue told them about my powers.

I hope we can make memories in various places, not just at home.

"Mom, where is Samiue?"

"Samiue said she was going into the forest."

"Forest"

"If you call her, she might come right away."

My mother said this and chuckled.

I looked at her smile and took another sip of soup.

"Renny, I love Mom's smile."

Looking at it makes me feel very happy.

So—

"I want to talk to Samiue."

To protect my parents.

I still have something to do.

—The mayor, Shulthem.

The person I think is behind Slanita Finance.

Samiue said she would investigate.

—Let's settle things before going on a journey!
