Why Me? (Re: Zero X Male Reader)

Chapter 11

Chapter 11. To the Capital!

Luka: "Y/N-niisama, look! Look! I managed to split the lumber into two!"

Luka cheered as he showed the result of his work.

(Y/N): "Hoo, very impressive."

Y/N commented as he observes the lumber that was chopped by Luka. It was rough and unclean. However, he can tell that the wood that was separated were equal in shape.

(Y/N): "You did this by yourself?"

Luka: "My dad helped me."

Luka admitted sheepishly.

Luka: "He said that I can't hold the axe without him watching since I was too young."

He grumbled, seemingly unhappy that he can't hold the wood cutter.

(Y/N): "Don't show such expression. He made the right decision, you might hurt yourself if you hold any sharp object, let alone one that has a blade sharp enough to cut a tree."

Luka: "I know! But it doesn't mean I like it."

As the boy was sulking and whining under his breath, Y/N can only shake his head. Seriously, when he was at Luka's age he already got shouted at for holding a pen because his parents were afraid that he might stab himself.

Is this what a medieval age boy used as a toy? An Axe and other sharp weapons? Or is it just Luka? Whichever it is, Y/N didn't think it was good thing though.

Luka: "It was all thanks to Y/N-niisama's training!"

Luka said with a grin, his sulking demeanor previously gone.

Luka: "Dad said it's not just healthy for the body, but also it makes me know how to swing it properly!"

(Y/N): "Is that so."

Y/N said, eyes glimmering with amusement and pride.

(Y/N): "I'm glad that I could be of help, keep in mind that exercising every morning is healthy for your body."

Luka: "Uhn!"

Luka nodded, his face showing an admiring expression as if he just received some kind of gospel.

Luka: "And don't forget to eat your veggies and fruits to grow strong!"

Y/N's lips quirked in amusement, his hand raised and ruffled the boy's hair.

(Y/N): "That's right, don't forget to eat veggies and fruits to grow strong."

Luka's grin was so bright and Y/N was sure his teeth for moment were sparkling like a certain bowl-haired ninja in a green spandex.

"Luka! Bothering Y/N-sama again I see."

Y/N and Luka turned to see a certain young man approaching them. Luka's face immediately turned to one of annoyance while Y/N only smile kindly.

Luka: "Ken-nii! What are you doing in here?"

Ken: "Oi, oi, what kind of question is that? This village is where I live too you brat, so of course I'm in here."

Ken answered with grin that annoys the boy.

Luka: "Not that! I mean, why are you here?"

Ken: "To make sure you do not bother Y/N-sama too much. Seriously, Y/N-sama comes here to enjoy the village, not get bothered by a brat like you."

(Y/N): "*chuckle* I don't mind, Ken. Luka's presence can be...Exhilarating."

Hearing that, the boy's annoyed face turned into one of joy while Ken only shakes his head.
