A Visit Pt. 1

"Haaa! You're too good! Harder!"

"Sure."

"Aah! T-that's the spot! R-r-right there!"

"Off you go~ Here it comes~"

Glancing a bit while at the same time upping my tone in massaging Cara, I looked at her younger sister, Yuna, who sported a blush because of a massage in this room with Mom having a face that I am sure she would tease Cara and Yuna for it someday.

The start of massage occurred after I finished telling them some of my life story and my love life. Yes, I had a love life, a pleasant one to remember before coming here. It was all thanks to that I had a knack for massage.

Filled with small knowledge of my tale, Cara herself requested me a demo leading to this situation.

"M-more!"

"Haaa!"

"Haa~"

"Hyaaaaaaaa~!"

With one final blow, like I had done before in my past life, I ended the massage with a bang.

"Haaa....Thank... you...Caesar...." blissfully commented one satisfied Cara Chauvestel.

'I'm glad things went well.' I thought before looking at Mom who smiled at me and gave a thumbs up as I then return my attention back to Cara. "You're welcome, Cara. If there's a need for you and your sister a massage, please do call me."

"I-I will." said Cara who now recovered her bearings added with a small cute blush on her face as I watched her putting on her white jacket while Yuna approaches Cara and asked things that ended up with two of them blushing.

'My word, I'll pretend to ignore it. Hmm, I wonder if there'll be some interest today?' Thinking about the planned meetup today at some residence for lunch while ignoring their reactions and gazes of the sisters, Mom called me out with her beaming smile.

"Caesar, you've done well. Didn't expect my cute Caesar to pull off a massage."

"Thank you, Mom. It's normal when they asked for it back in a day."

Mom eye smiled. "Did they? It can't be helped then since it's you."

"Maybe." I jokingly jested as I looked at Cara chatting with her sister. "It's...I missed them already."

"Don't worry." said Mom in low affectionate tone. "No matter what circumstances, you're still our dear son."

"Mom...I---"

Yeah, Mom and Dad knew about that when I told them about it two weeks ago. That time when I faced them, I was nervous and slightly afraid of the consequences. In the end, they took it well that it broke me down because during my time as Manny, my parents died when I was young. That time, I realized I needed warmth and affection of my parents for so long especially when I looked after my younger siblings and took the liberty of that important role and duty. I really am and was very thankful to them accepting it as a whole. I'm glad they're supportive and accepting.

"It's okay. I and your father will be here for you."

"Thank you. I'll try my best in becoming an adventurer and live as your son."

Smiling brightly, Mom hugged me.

My hometown, Skyspring, a major coastal town with beautiful mountains and forests that has a harbor, under Graypeak Region area, had a fairly cold weather that reminded me of my former world's Imperial States' Cordilleras. Having at least 15 hours arrival time to De Gaulle, and 4 hours and 30 minutes to Yamato's White Wind Harbor, via ship, Skyspring itself was a place of relaxation, tourism, seafood, adventuring, and hunting for folks from De Gaulle, Yamato, etc. Formerly State of Graypeak's coastal town before the Carolusian Era, the Angevinian-era Skyspring strived in various guild quests because of its geographical position, land mass, and distance affordable to the travelers, traders, students, and adventurers due to the efforts made by then the reforms and construction here by the would-be emperor of Angevine, Lyonel Swordhaven, who was known by his regnal name, Carolus, and the combined efforts of public-private sectors gave way to its current prestigious status.

As of right now, from our walk, we passed by the direction of shipping port and Skyspring Harbor while myself saw what I thought to be personnel from various Angevinian law enforcement agencies, travelers, merchants, and adventurers here doing things for themselves.

We also passed various establishments buzzing with activities as what I would call a usual day of economic activity in a country as everything had a piece of slice of life like one male dwarven adventurer visiting a workhouse for his equipment, a family set of 3 going world knows what, a female beastkin gendarmerie and her squad doing their duty as one what would expect from a gendarmerie, some bard listening to adventurer party, children playing, etc.

'My current life's hometown's weather is so lovely so much it mirrors Varela's. Thank the guys for putting me here in this state. Oh, that reminds me, Varela's old names were Kafagway and Baguio back then before it changed to Varela. Speaking of Skyspring, what else can I think of to do as 5-year-old besides training plans at the mountains?' Wearing a blue parka while at the same time reminiscing about my past life's well-known Summer Capital, one of the training spots for sports community including the gun community and its history starting from the Spanish Colonial Era to independent sovereign country and the days I met World War 2 legends and their life stories and chatters, still smiling, I listened to Mom and Dad's conversation while walking with my left hand held by Dad.

"Theresa, we agreed to this. I'm confident he'll learn things from Sofia Preparatory School. We could send him to the capital instead."

The conversation in question changed to something else related to my education from Dad's talk of his adventurer days and how things changed for better when the State of Graypeak entered the union with the Kingdom of Freival. My upcoming education as Caesar MacMillan reminded me who I was as Manny except there's no "the only male in school surrounded by all girls" school life harem cliche situation this time around because my former life was caught in some situations that could be considered almost ecchi and awkward that I had to take the responsibility as a man all the way. Here? I hope for the best for myself.

"Alright, Dear." laughed off Mom. "Caesar, we're almost there."

"Okay, Mom." I said to her as I then remembered my sisters left at our home to keep Emma, my cute younger sister, a company. "Mom, is it okay for my sisters to be left at home including Emma? She probably wants to see the school she'll be attending."

"She'll be fine." replied Mom. "We could go there next time we pass by. Besides, think of our walk from our home to here as a way for yourself to get accustomed to our hometown. Your former occupation gave you training right?"

'Right and they say locals knows their hometown the best.' I jokingly thought, looking at Dad who smiled at Mom, before replying. "Yes, Mom --- oh my, that's a nice residence."

"Yep, same thoughts when I first visited her new residence 16 years ago."

With sight picture of a fairly well-made Western-Japanese hybrid house that came together with compound coming to my sights, behind the gate, I noticed there's one brown-haired human woman smiling and waving at us. Right beside the older woman, there's a brown-haired girl that has attractive blue eyes, around my age, looking at my direction.

The brown-haired girl, she was curious, very curious.

'This...reminds me of the day I met them when my parents were alive back then. If not for them, my former self would have been different. Sigh, I missed them a lot.' I thought, thinking about parts of my former life and now while staring at the girl who was now observing at me.

The woman then opened the gate, making Mom ran over and hugged the woman which the woman hugged back.

"Hello Monica!"

"Hi Theresa!"
