\nChapter 23: A mountain named loneliness\n \n \n300 years. .......\n \nMy words fall on the grass and flowers along the
peaceful roadside.\n \nOf course, everyone is surprised. No, maybe they
are stunned now.\n \nBut instead of regretting it, I feel unexpectedly
relieved.\n \nWhile everyone is speechless, Karim is the first
one to react to my words.\n \nPerhaps he was certain of something.\n \nHe nodded his head.\n \n"He isn't lying. It is not hard to imagine
that he has gained the power of [immortality] by eating many monsters. The very
existence of those monsters itself is surprising, but we have confirmed their
skills."\n \nThen Clavis-san turns to Fletty-san.\n \n"Fletty. Your hunch-- Somehow, your hunch
hit the jackpot in the wrong way."\n \n"Hunch?"\n \nI tilt my head, and Clavis-san looks straight at
me.\n \n"Fletty was the first person who suggested
inviting you to our house."\n \n"Fletty-san was...."\n \n"Frankly speaking, most people in our
mansion are against it. I was against it too. There are many children like you
who have lost both parents. It is better to donate money to the orphanage than
increase the mansion's food supply to treat you specially."\n \nClavis-san was right.\n \n"But."\n \n"Eh...."\n \nI raise my rises. Once again, I made eye contact
with Clavis-san.\n \n"Fletty said this."\n \n \n“The loneliness he suffers is far greater and
more distorted than we know. I do not want to protect him. I want him to regain
something that has been missing from him in this house..."\n \n"When I heard Fletty's words, I was very
curious about you. That is why I came to see you in person. And I am now
convinced that Fletty's words were true."\n \nClavis-san gently holds my hand. It is gentle
and compassionate as if she is touching the petals of a wildflower.\n \n"I'll repeat it... Luciel-kun, would you
come to my mansion?"\n \n"Eh? But... Don't you think I'm
disgusting..."\n \nI have a child's face, have been living for 300
years, eat monsters, and have powerful skills.\n \nMy identity is also unknown, but Clavis-san
still invites me to his mansion. That's really confusing me.\n \n"Given your background, some special skills
wouldn't surprise me."\n \n"But
aren't you scared? From Clavis-san's
perspective, I'm like ----."\n \nDon't I look like a monster?\n \nI slaughtered many bandits and even smashed the
bandit's chief with a single blow. From an ordinary person's perspective, I am
definitely a freak.\n \nI was obsessed with getting as strong as my
father and getting his acknowledgement someday.\n \nBut after meeting Fletty and his friends, I
finally understood something.\n \nMaybe I am no longer as normal as I thought I
was.\n \n"Nuhahahahahaha!"\n \nSuddenly, Clavis-san started laughing.\n \nHe turns to me, smiles, and pats my head
roughly.\n \n"A monster?.... Certainly, maybe that's
true. I've never seen a human being who has been living for 300 years. If a
being different from normal humans is called a monster, then maybe you're
right."\n \n"My Lord----"\n \nFletty-san was about to say something, but
before he could, Karim stopped him.\n \n"But, Luciel-kun. You may have been living
for 300 years, but from my point of view, you are still a child."\n \n"I'm.... a child?"\n \nI have been living for 300 years now.\n \nSo there is no way that I am still a child.\n \n"You lived alone during your sensitive
period. Moreover, your mature personality also seems a bit flawed. Even though
you've lived for 300 years, you still talk like a child. Maybe that's because
you haven't grown up mentally."\n \nThat's true.\n \nAs I grow older, I have tried to change my voice
tone and personality.\n \nBut I didn't feel like I was growing.\n \nPhysically, I had become stronger, but mentally,
nothing had changed since I first came to this mountain at the age of five.\n \nClearly, I am still a child.\n \n"Therefore, I want to invite you to my
mansion. This is not pity, protection, or charity. ........ I want to save
you."\n \nClavis-san stands up and extends his hand to me
again.\n \nTurns out it is a handshake.\n \nHis kindness and the truth of his words will be
conveyed through his hand.\n \nAnd when I shake his hand, my life will change
completely.....\n \n300 years.......\n \nIt had been burdening me for so long.\n \nWell, perhaps that is not the correct
explanation.\n \nIt was not the 300 years of history that
burdened me, but maybe it was ill feelings that I wanted to say, but I couldn't
say them all along.\n \nLoneliness. Selfishness. People's warmth...\n \nWhen I realized it, I had accumulated a mountain
of various feelings.\n \nMaybe I can release them now.\n \nI unconsciously grab Clavis's hand.\n \nIt is warm... And gentle...\n \nFeeling people's warmth made my eyes hot.\n \nI couldn't hold back my tears any longer, and I
started to cry.\n \nAt the same time, the mountain of loneliness
that had been burdening me began to rattle and collapse.\n \nTime, which had been frozen for 300 years,
finally started to move.\n \nThat's what I feel.
