The next day I went around the house as usual and accidentally saw my father from the window swinging his sword.
Is Dad doing sword training?
As I was thinking like, there was an idea that popped up above my head and it made me inadvertently let out a smile like an evil character.
I think an evil smile expression I can use when becoming a knight of darkness. And the idea that popped into my head was that I should practice sword techniques but given my age, I felt that it was impossible to hold a sword.
3 Years later
“““Happy birthday!”””
Today is my birthday. I am now 5 years old and also for the past five years I have honed my skills and magic attributes secretly, not only that I also feel that where in my body more and more it feels like it continues to grow every day.
Mother brought a chocolate cake on top that read 'Happy Birthday, Ren'. To be honest I was very happy with this but what made me happy was not my parents celebrating my birthday but the chocolate cake that my mother brought.
Mom put a chocolate cake on the table and put a candle on it. Father and Nia came in clapping.
“Happy birthday boy!” Dad yelled as he spread out his arms and hugged me.
“Happy birthday, young master.” Then Nia congratulated me while bowing her body.
“How? Do you like the surprises I made?” Mom was very carefree and her face looked like she was waiting for my answer.
”Ya, I like it.”
Mom immediately smiled and hugged me while rubbing her face at me.
Of this show the most excited is only mother. But even so I didn't hate it just that I felt a little embarrassed.
“Alright, let's blow the candles♪”
I blew out the candle slowly so that the chocolate cream near the candle was not destroyed. The flame of the candle died and all clapped to fill the whole house.
“Well, now is the time of the gift session~”
Mom shouted cheerfully until her voice filled the room.
“First from mom, here it is!"
Mother took out a pitch-black robe and from the design it was from...
“Isn't it..”
“Are you surprised? Mom found your sketch so mom made it for you.”
I didn't think mom would do that for me, I was really happy to have a mom like her but... Isn't that robe too big?
I can't possibly wear it, right?
“But ma'am, this is too big to wear.”
“What's really why? That way you can wear it until you're big.”
I let out a breath. Honestly, the mother was very nice not only to me but also to the neighbors but if it was a matter of clothing she would choose a larger outfit to wear until I grew up.
But luckily, since I am a knight of darkness this big dress matter is only a small affair. I can use the useful [Size] skill to enlarge or shrink something.
“Thank you mom.”
I hugged my mother and mother hugged me while rubbing my head. I don't know if I should thank my mom.
“Alright, a gift from dad is a request!”
He shouted while raising both hands up.
“Request?”
I was confused when dad said the request, I thought he would give me something or something like that.
“Yes, you can ask dad anything.”
So that's it, hmm. This is a golden opportunity and I must not waste it.
Oh right, as a knight I have to use a sword. I remember that my father could use a sword so I thought asking to be taught to use a sword was not a problem for him.
My parents still do not know that I can use magic so my parents will only know that I am good at using swords and not magic.
Sip. Then it's decided.
As I said that, the room became quiet.
However, my father laughed out loud.
“Hahaha. Is that your request?”
“Yes, did I say anything strange?”
I raised one eyebrow and tilted my head in confusion with my father's attitude.
“No, I just didn't think you'd ask for that. Though you look so hate the sun.”
Horrifically. I can't believe you know that, but I never said anything about it.
“Fufu. You're right, I think my sweet Ren has a disease because he's always rebellious when he's taken out of the house. Turns out he just doesn't like the sunshine.” Added mother.
What's?! Did you know that too? Don't not Nia either? Huh... I hate the sun because it sucks.
“Well, how else. The sunlight was so hot and dazzling, I really didn't like it. But I don't think you want to teach me, well I'll just read the book.”
“Hey, don't get mad like that! I'm just kidding, okay?”
Mom and Nia laughed looking at us, but seeing dad kneel down apologetically like this sucks too.
“So dad wants to teach me or not?”
“I'll teach you! You're as angry as you were when mom used to be.”
Mammy? Can mom be angry? I know that my mom is always smiling and cheerful. Is mom really scary when she's angry?
“Oh, come. That's the past.” Mom blushed in shame.
“This is from me young master.”
Nia gives pretty beautiful earrings. It's like a piercing but it's like a star and it's black. This is so cool!
“Thank you Nia.”
“Because the young master perfectly matches the black color so I give the black star.”
“Exactly, somehow Ren is very compatible with black.” Added mother.
“You know son, there's a meaning to a black star. The star means light and black means dark. So the meaning is Black Star is a balance between good and evil.”
Crazy, cool really means! It was unexpected that I was equated with this black star. As a knight of darkness the meaning of a black star is very suitable.
I took out a small mirror and wore earrings in both my ears.
“What do you think?”
“Ara, you look really cool.”
“As expected of my son.”
“You look handsome young master.”
I am very happy and also ashamed to get such a compliment. We ate the cake together and I immediately went into the room to sleep.
Tomorrow morning.
“Hei son, are you ready?”
Father called out while holding the wooden sword in his hand.
“Ready? For what?”
“Have you forgotten? Didn't you ask to be taught to practice swords?”
“I remember but it's still 6 am dad.”
“Oh come on, if it's too late it will be hot. Don't you like the sunshine?”
It's true, if it's too late it will be very hot. Alright, there is no other choice as a knight of darkness I should be able to use the sword.
“Good. I'm coming soon.”
After washing my face, I ran to the yard and started practicing swordplay with my father and it ended when the clock showed at 9am.
