Respawn

Chapter 71: Father’s Grief

"I don't care about that man, and I'm not going to let him stay there no matter what. I am unconcerned about where he will stay, and it is not my business. He should start looking for a place to stay as soon as possible "said the lady. Takahashi takes a step forward and begins to interrupt our conversation. Takahashi asked, "Hey, what are you doing?" Bara motioned for him to keep silent, suggesting that he should leave these matters to me. "Have you heard what she said, young man? You should start looking for a place to stay, and I'm guessing you don't have one." I stated. Takahashi was pushed aside by the lady, who remarked, "You don't have to feel sorry for him because he'll most likely be able to find a place to stay. Simply hire this space."

I examine my fingers and re-do my nails. As I tried to look around, I said, "Well..." "I suppose I should feel sorry for him because he is my subordinate. He's a gold knight with a rank comparable to that of an upper knight like me. Wait, he didn't tell you about it? "I stated. The lady's expression is shocked, and she continues to stare at Takahashi. "Please excuse my subordinate if he didn't properly pay for that accommodation. I assume my subordinate is difficult to connect with, but I suppose we don't have a choice, right? You've already stated that you will not accept him and will not allow him to remain in this location, regardless of what he does or what happens. If that's the case, we respect your decision. "I spoke and bowed to her. "I'll let him stay, Madam! You should have notified me sooner!" exclaimed the lady. This lady is highly insulting since she has no authority to tell me when I should talk. "Also, you said he needs to start looking for a place to stay, right?" I asked. "Well, I have some wonderful news for you." I wink at Takahashi as I gaze into his eyes. "He'll be staying with me now," I said.

"Are you going to let him stay with you? Do you think that's a crazy idea?" Bara remarked. Well, I'm definitely insane, but what can I do now if my lips have already spoken those things and there's no way for me to retract them now that they've been spoken? It is not a bad notion since if he lives with me, we will be closer to each other and be able to work more efficiently and solve difficulties more quickly. "It's a great idea. Bara, you didn't like my idea?" I inquired. "It's not that I don't like it, but if they hear that you let a man who isn't your guard, driver, or maid stay, they might say something harsh. Well, it's still up to you. I'm only speculating on what could possibly happen." Bara replied.

"Well, he is my subordinate after all," I explained, "so I don't see a problem with it." I point to Takahashi's items that have been tossed to the ground. "Please hurry up and collect your belongings. We're going to my house right now "I stated. Takahashi is initially hesitant to pick up his object, but he is gradually doing so. "Oh, hurry up, Takahashi," I said. Bara begins to assist him with entering those objects into his virtual inventory. "Are you sure you'll let me stay at your house? I am unable to repay your generosity and offer at this time due to a lack of funds "he stated Do I appear to be requesting payment? He is not required to pay, and I am plainly doing this in order to have a means and a cause to see him more frequently.

"What are you talking about? You don't even have to pay because you're already my knight and servant, so what are you talking about? You are not required to give me any money. Just stay in my house in the meantime if you haven't found a place to stay for an extended period of time "I stated. They've finished collecting his belongings, and everything is now in his virtual inventory. "Should we leave right now?" I stated. I look at the land woman from head to toe before we leave. I throw a sum of money at her that I haven't counted, but it's probably too much for Takahashi's outstanding rent. "All of his debts to you and your apartment have been paid in full. Please accept our apologies, and we will immediately depart "I stated. I move away from her, turning my back on her.

Bara sits down on her vehicle and waves at us. "All right, let's go!" Bara remarked. We sat in Bara's vehicle and allowed her to drive us to my house. Takahashi said, "Katsumi." I keep staring at him in Bara's vehicle's side mirror. He seemed to be deeply contemplating something. "What exactly is it?" I inquired. He isn't staring at me; instead, he is glancing to the side, as if he is very shy and grateful. "Thank you so much for everything you've done for me. Don't worry, I'll do my best to repay your generosity "he stated He doesn't have to feel obligated to pay me back for anything I do for him. I'm doing this on my own initiative and don't expect anything in return. I'm having a good time with things the way they are.

"You are welcome here, and you will always be welcome here. Stop acting as though what I'm doing for you is something you owe me, since the fact that you're already working for me is enough "I stated. "You don't have to do these things, and if you aren't here, I'm not sure where I am right now. I'm extremely appreciative. We're not buddies, and we're just coworkers, but you're doing these things for me. Why are you helping me in this sort of way? "He inquired. His inquiry has a very obvious answer. He should have noticed it by now, but I'll keep it a secret for the time being, and telling him would be a bad idea because Bara is here. "Well, I'm not sure why," I explained.

We arrive at my home, and I am hoping he will enjoy it. "Do you like my house's design?" I inquired. The guards open the entrance for us, and, as I expected, they are taken aback by the fact that I am accompanied by a male. Bara said, "Hey, hey, quit staring at them like that." "Your house is quite large. Being an upper knight allows you to generate a lot of money "he stated We take a stroll inside my mansion. I'm starting to feel self-conscious because I'm worried that his expectations for my house are excessive, given that he's already stayed in a mansion much larger than mine. It's because Watanabe's fortune dates back hundreds of years, whereas the riches I have are something I started investing in the moment I respawned.

The maids form a line and bow to us. "For the time being, this man will be staying in this house, so please be kind to him and treat him the same way you do me. He is my gold knight and my subordinate. Please treat him with respect "I stated. "You don't need to announce things like that because it's embarrassing, especially since I'm not a remarkable person who deserves such a warm greeting," he remarked. I suppose I'm being too formal, but that's exactly what I should be doing. I'll have to introduce him to the folks that work in this place. Finally, I'll be able to see him every day and night. I haven't seen him in a long time, and now I have the option to do so whenever I want.

It's been a week since he's been in this place. He is quite good at what he does, and he is also very respectful to me. He treats the people that work here with respect and communicates and interacts with them effectively. They appear to be on excellent terms, which is encouraging. I'm glad he gets along with the other employees here. He appears to be in good spirits, but I know he is suppressing his emotions. I understand that he is simply attempting to appear normal in order to conceal his anguish. I'm hoping I'll be able to help him experience less discomfort. He will complete all of his work during the day and head to his room at night, and I can sense his grief whenever he is alone.

Today is the official day for people who have been reported missing to be declared dead. It's undoubtedly quite difficult for him to hear that his friend and wife have died. People who have lost family and friends will gather in the cemetery that the king purchased just for those who have died. I owe it to him to be there for him as he mourns the loss of his friend and wife. Takahashi is dressed in a black suit, while I am dressed in a black dress. Takahashi is putting the finishing touches on the bouquet he will present to her late wife and friend. "Are you all set now?" I inquired. He merely smiles at me, but I can see he's sad. "I'm ready now," he declared. Bara offers to take us to the graveyard in his vehicle.

We arrive at the cemetery, and the first thing we hear are people crying because they have lost someone close to them. When we arrive, the priest is already praying for their souls. When I glance at Takahashi, it looks like he is pretending to be strong. He's fighting back his tears. I wish I could tell him it's okay to cry and that he could let out all of the tears he's been holding back. He went to his wife's gravesite. I looked up her wife's name, and it's a lovely name. She is a very fortunate girl to have this man love her until the end of her life. You don't have to be concerned, Tori, because I'll look after this man as well as you do when you're living.

As he placed the bouquet on her wife's gravesite, I softly rubbed his back. We proceeded to her friend's graveyard, but it was difficult to approach much closer because there were so many people mourning at her graveyard. They're most likely their servants in their mansion. Saki's mother and father are also present, wiping away tears and crying out in agony. Takahashi took a slow trek to Saki's gravesite when we had the opportunity to approach close. I wish I could personally thank her for saving and safeguarding Takahashi during the period when I didn't know him. I will keep him safe and save him from every harm he may encounter in his life. Saki, I'll look after him and thank you for everything.

Takahashi placed the bouquet of flowers on her grave. I let him alone in the grave and didn't follow him since there were too many people and I didn't want to become part of the crowd if I did. "Take a step back!" Saki's father yelled something. Watanabe begins to push people out of his way as he walks towards Takahashi. His wife is holding his arms as if she is attempting to stop him and calm him down, but Watanabe has no intention of stopping. His wife begs him to "calm down." Takahashi didn't dare to look at him now that he was in front of him. He punches Takahashi in the face, which enrages me. I'd like to get in the way of them. That man has no right to treat my subordinate like that. "Because of you, my daughter's life came to an end! I already knew that having you as a friend would cause my daughter to suffer and hunt with tragedy! You are a sinner who has committed sin in the past, and bad luck will always accompany you! You brought disaster to my family, and my only daughter died as a result of you! You have no right to do this to us. Simply put, you should've stayed away from our daughter! Take a look at you! The fact that you are being punished by the gods is self-evident! Your wife, brother, daughter, and Saki are all gone! ", he stated
