The Origin of Botan

Chapter 10: Visiting A Slaughterhouse

Parkerring: Sounds bloody.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A car was rolling on a cold deserted road in winter. In that car was a family with the father driving, the eldest son sitting in the front seat next to his father, the second and third sons sitting in the back seat. Sitting in the middle of the second and third sons was a white lion demi-human girl, she was also a member of the family but not of the same bloodline as the rest, she was adopted.

"And then Uno shouted on It's Unoin' Time! And he unoed all his competitors!"

"AHAHAHAHAHA!!!!"

Jani and Botan laughed at Asko's jokes, even Asko laughed at his own jokes.

"Good lord, Asko, I have never laughed this hard!"

Jani said as he wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes.

"That was a good joke, Asko!"

Botan happily complimented Asko.

"Thank you, Botan. I didn't expect our grandfather's story to be so funny.

"Wait, what?! Your grandpa?!"

Botan was surprised.

"Oh, right. Uno was my grandpa's name. He loved playing Uno when he was young. He knew about that game when he searched his own name on Google."

"Pfft~"

Botan giggled and tried to hold back her laugh.

"Sorry, I shouldn't laugh at that."

"It's ok, the fact that he searched his own name on Google made my whole family laugh too."

Asko said and couldn't help but laugh.

"Ahaha! Your grandpa is...I mean, it was hilarious!"

Botan laughed as well.

"Hey Botan! Do you know that Uno is derived from a Latin word Unus means One?"

"Woah! That's cool information!"

Botan was amazed.

"What?! Botan, how can you get interested in that information easily?!"

Asko asked in surprise.

"Not everyone thinks my information is boring."

Jani replied to Asko.

"Jani! Jani! I want to hear more random information! I love random information! It's unpredictable and thrilling!"

Botan said to Jani in excitement.

"How's it thrilling????"

Asko thought as he was surprised at Botan's opinion of Jani's random information.

"Dad, look at them."

Ivor told Markus.

"I see."

Markus replied to Ivor as he looked at the rearview mirror to see Jani, Asko and Botan chatting happily together.

"I'm glad to see them getting along."

Markus said and continued to focus on the path.

"Me too, especially Jani. He was always bored and carefree about everything. He should've looked out the window like before instead of chatting happily like that."

Ivor said.

"I see. He has found a good replacement for Suvi."

Hearing his father say that, Ivor didn't respond and rolled his eyes in the rearview mirror to see Jani, Asko and Botan. He then looked at the road with Markus and smiled happily.
