Chapter 172: Kuroki And Kouki
◆Dark Knight; Kuroki
The next morning, I visited the training ground with Kouki.
This was the training ground for the Dwarven Warriors, but for now, it was just the two of us. I was going to give Kouki his first lesson in swordsmanship, as promised.
「Please take care of me, Kuroki-sensei.」
Kouki bowed his head. He was such a polite boy. His eyes sparkled with excitement, but there was something more to it than just happiness over having someone teach him swordsmanship.
「Best regards to you as well, Kouki. It seems something good happened to you. May I ask what it is?」
「Yes, I met my dear mother last night. She said that she’s always watching over me.」
Kouki spoke cheerfully. But… Kouki's mother should have already passed away. So he must have met her in a dream.
I couldn’t help but shed a tear at that thought.
