YLTESCIA: A Reincarnator's Tale in the Lands of Merusia (3)

Chapter 465: Better Memories (pt. II)

"Too slow! You have to try harder than that, Vin!" ［Bella］

"No fair, Bell! You're too fast!" ［Galvin］

"Teehee! That's because I run everyday!" ［Bella］

Giggles and cackles drifted afloat the air, the sound of nimble footsteps ringing hand in hand as little legs pedaled along the grassy park, two figures chasing playfully after one another, having the best times of their lives.

The sky was still bright and blue, and the sun has yet to reach its zenith. With every grain of sand that fell down the hourglass, more and more people poured into the plaza, all wearing enchanted faces as they were greeted by such a graceful view.

First, it was just Grey, Yuna, and Bell, but soon, Cedric and the children came, and a couple more followed soon after. The skypark and playground only got livelier by the minute, even adults enjoying their leisure by the swings.

"I wonder if I can make one of these at home for Bella..." ［Ross］

"Hmm... That sounds great, but... Aren't you still busy with the orders, Dear? Do you even have time to make one?" ［Marriane］

"I guess you're right... That would be difficult..." ［Ross］

Well, what else would you expect from craftsmen and the like. Though the concept was simple, swings may be a fun experience for children and adults alike. It was relaxing, exciting, and simple. There is nothing more to wish from it.

It wasn't just the swings. The monkey bars, slides, see-saws, spring riders, spinners, climbers, sandbox, and many more. While they aren't really revolutionary, they would be great for places where kids may gather.

Ross is also learning about smithing for a while now, so it would be perfect for him. Especially since most of the playground equipment can easily be made with simple rods, plates, and springs. It was perfect for learning.

"But, well... Hmm... I'm sure everything here would be popular with kids. I should ask Grey and Yuna later if we can make thesー Mmph?!" ［Ross］

"Geez, Dear! We're on a break right now! No more thinking of work!" ［Marriane］

"I-I know, butー" ［Ross］

"No buts! Today is our outing! I don't want to hear anything related to work coming out of your mouth again for today! That's final!" ［Marriane］

Unfortunately for Ross, it seems his Missus is against the ideaー for today, at least. She simply wants to enjoy her day off with her husband and her daughter, and not worry about anything else. A simple wish Ross couldn't help but grant.

Other than Ross and Marriane, there are also quite a few figures clearly enjoying their time in the playground. There was Tilda, Bartolos, Dale and his family, the Guildmasters and various acquaintances, and many more...

But amongst the many people playing around in the skypark and the playground, one stood out in particular amongst the rest... The most eye-catching of them all...

"Ohh～! What a nice castle, if I'd say so myself! Truly spectacular!" ［Lydia］

... It was none other than the Guildmaster of the Enchanters' Guild. She already has the stature and facial features of a child, and it didn't help that she was playing ever so cheerfully in the sandbox, looking like she was just a tad older than the others.

In fact, if one were to put Guildmaster Lydia together with the kids, strangers would absolutely think they are friends of the same age group. Especially with her playful, and sometimes temperamental tendencies... She was no different to a child...
