As soon as I entered the cafe room, I had found a female figure who should have been over 60 years old, but with an appearance that still seemed to be in her 40s.
Her silver hair glistened beautifully which signified her seriousness of learning magic so that it made her hair color fade.
What made me believe that she was indeed Arcia's grandmother was that her sky-blue eyes looked similar to Arcia's sparkle.
“Halo, Grandma. Sorry, I seem to be late.”
“No, absolutely not really, my son. Hohohoho.”
“There is still about ten minutes before the promised time. It was this Old Granny who came too quickly because there was not much else that this Old Granny could do at home. Unlike the young people who are full of activity. Hohohoho.”
His voice was polite and truly sounding wise like a great sage in legends.
However, it looks very fashionable to follow the times, except for the eccentric stick it carries that at first glance looks like a walking helper stick, but it is clearly a magic wand that serves to increase the efficiency of mana use.
“Hahahahaha.”
However you listen to his words at the end, it can only be heard as sarcasm.
I can only laugh wryly in response.
We then ordered a snack and our conversation started immediately.
Yes, my goal today is to meet with Arcia's grandmother, nothing more than to talk about Arcia's custody.
“So you're a friend of my daughter's foster sister apparently.”
“That's right, Grandma. My name is Arnoria Rosechild of the Rosechild family. Grandma can call me Arno only.”
Actually, it's a little uncomfortable for me to call her grandma.
No matter how you look at it, she deserves to be called an aunt because of her outward appearance who is still young enough to be categorized as a grandmother.
“Oho, I did not expect the child of my daughter who grew up in poverty could mingle with the prospective third generation successor of the second largest family of this country apparently.”
I once again just responded with a wry smile.
Although the Rosechild family is known as the family with the second largest wealth and power in Indonesia, unfortunately it is only the outward appearance.
They really can not dwell on the pressure coming from outside Indonesia.
I've only known about it since I became Arno.
They even chose to escape the problem of a secret organization that almost killed its future successors because of the magnitude of latent danger that could be posed by the international organization.
No, since the real Arno is dead, can I tell you that I escaped from the grudge of the death of their future successor, maybe?
Not only in the case of Arno, a similar case also occurred in Kak Dahlia.
When Kak Dahlia was bullied in elementary school, they chose to turn their faces and let the culprit get away since the bully's family had strong backing abroad.
Well, it is only natural that the foundation of the Rosechild family in Indonesia has not been strong since they have only survived for two generations.
Being able to stand on the second highest peak in such a short period of time alone was already a great feat.
“I didn't think that a free child could be born in a strict family of rules like the Rosechild family, but it wasn't bad.”
I saw Grandma Litana suddenly look through my entire appearance.
“Ah, sorry. This old grandmother was again disrespectful. How could I forget to introduce myself to someone I met for the first time. I'm Litana Magus. Son, Arno is free to call Grandma by any name. Grandma's call doesn't sound bad either. Hohohohoho.”
“Hahahaha. It's okay, Grandma. Just relax.”
“Oho, really? Though I heard the Rosechild family is very strict against this kind of thing.”
“Hahaha.”
I could only laugh a little in response since I couldn't refute that statement.
“Just get to the point, can I meet my grandson, Son Arno?”
“Is Grandma willing to take custody of Arcia?”
After listening to my question, Granny Litana immediately responded seemingly without the slightest hesitation.
“That's of course since he was my precious grandson.”
I was relieved to hear it.
In this world, apparently there is still someone who will care about Arcia even though I as Viar is gone.
However, I was momentarily silent.
There's still something important I want to confirm to Grandma Litana.
“Did Grandma never once find out about the state of your daughter?”
The truth about the existence of a surviving Arcia family is not something that is difficult to get if someone digs it deeper.
It would not be difficult for her to find out that her daughter had once given birth to a daughter before her departure from the world for good.
It was quite surprising to me all this time why Granny Litana was completely unaware of her granddaughter's whereabouts.
After a long moment of contemplation, Grandma Litana began to answer my question.
“Grandmother herself is not sure.”
“I thought Luri would be happier if I never showed up in her life again.”
“When she was young, Grandma had done things that Grandma shouldn't have done to her.”
“To be frank, Grandma felt she had no face to face with Grandma's daughter.”
“Grandma just always hope that wherever Grandma's daughter is, she will live happily with her chosen husband.”
“Grandmother was preoccupied with various studies and unknowingly dissolved in it.”
“As soon as realized, Grandma seems to have been at the age of Grandma who is now.”
“Who would have thought that Grandma's daughter would die first with her husband before Grandma where Grandma's daughter left the presence of a granddaughter.”
So in other words Grandma Litana is so much in love with her research that she has forgotten she still has a daughter to worry about.
I can't sympathize with him at all.
“Oh yes, about the previous request of Grandma.”
“Ah, when it comes to Arcia, Grandma don't have to worry. He's already on his way here.”

“Kak Arno?”
Just talked about, the figure of Arcia immediately appeared before us.
“Ah, are you Arcia, son?”
“Indeed, your face is really similar to Grandma's daughter. But I don't like the color of your hair since it's the same as the color of the slave's hair that has brought the hazy Grandma's daughter.”
Grandma Litana immediately stood up to the newly arrived Arcia with a haru expression on her face.
Seeing that, Arcia was immediately confused.
“Iya, Mother. I'm Arcia.”
“Sister Arno, whose grandma is this?”
It was not me, but Grandma Litana herself who answered Arcia's question.
“I'm your grandmother, son. Grandma is the mother of your mother, Luri.”
“Grandmother?”
“Iya, my grandson.”
“Grandpa! Uwaaah!”
Soon, Haru's face finally appeared on Arcia's face.
A meeting accompanied by tears occurred between the couple's grandmother and granddaughter who had long lived apart.
Seeing Grandma Litana's sincerity towards him, it felt like I no longer needed to worry about Arcia too much since Granny Litana could be a good guardian for her.

Now the only thing left to put aside the mission of the System is revenge for Arno.
The existence of the criminal organization that caused the dungeon to break in our school graduation exam was.
To be able to obtain deeper information about them, I need to be more trustworthy in the world of hunters.
And for that, my next goal is to apply to the Indonesian National Hunter Academy or abbreviated as AHNI Academy to immediately obtain my hunter license.
That's what I should have planned.
Butwhy?
“Welcome examinee number 9066, student Arnoria Rosechild from Senior High School.”
Why is Grandma Litana here?
“Include, I am Litana Magus, head of the Indonesian National Hunter Academy who will also be the chairman of your admissions assessment team at our academy.”
With her ademic smile again calming down, Grandma Litana looked at me gently.
