Chapter 27: I Met Ur’s Family ①

TN: I tried to minimize the usage of Japanese suffixes like -san, -sama, etc. But I just realized that I don’t know what to translate it with for some suffixes ex. -dono and -sama to Lady, Miss, Mr., and others. So back to Japanese suffixes.
One hour later.
Sam was released from his restraints and escorted into the guest room of Count Walker’s house.
Waiting for him in the room was a handsome man in his mid-forties and a flaxen-haired woman who looked to be in her late thirties.
He knew immediately that they were the parents of his beloved master.
Both of them have a vague resemblance to Uru.
Both of them have red swollen eyes.
It seems that they have checked Ur’s corpse and death note.
( ―――The two of them are Ur’s)
They both stood up from their chairs and bowed deeply as Sam entered the room.
「Samuel-dono. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for delivering my daughter’s corpse and will to me.」
「Thank you very much.」
「Please look up. I was only doing what a disciple should do.」
「Still, all I can say is thank you.」
After thanking Sam, they slowly looked up.
「Now, sit down. We have a lot to discuss with you.」
「Yes.」
At their urging, Sam sat down in the chair and watched as they sat down.
「I’d like to introduce myself first. My name is Jonathan?Walker. I’m the head of the Walker family.」
「My name is Grace?Walker.」
「Nice to meet you. I’m Samuel Scheidt. Please, call me Sam.」
Sam introduced himself and bowed.
The two men looked a little surprised.
「Scheidt… coincidentally, my daughter’s magical name was Scheidt as well.」
「Ur, no, my master gave it to me as a family name.」
「I see. It seems that Ulrike was very fond of you.」
「I’m glad to hear it.」
Jonathan stared at Sam’s face closely.
Then he sighed tiredly.
「I’m surprised that the wild girl took a pupil and loved her, but I didn’t know that she was ill. As a parent, I feel ashamed.」
「Did you take care of her in the end, Sam-dono?」
「Yes. If I had realized my master’s illness earlier, I would have brought him to the capital by force, but I’m sorry.」 The most uptodat𝓮 n𝒐vels are published on n0velbjn((.))com
「There is no need for you to apologize. Instead, I can only thank you. Thanks to you, I can hold Ulrike’s funeral and put her in the grave.」
「That’s very kind of you to say.」
Both Jonathan and Grace wiped their tears with their handkerchiefs and thanked Sam again.
Sam was about to burst into tears if he wasn’t careful.
「I’m sorry. I just can’t accept my daughter’s death yet.」
「I’m sorry for your loss.」
「Thank you. I’d like to talk to you about something else.」
「Yes.」
「My daughter left a death note with a lot of information about you in it.」
「…I see.」
「That you were a very good wizard, that you had inherited her magic, and that she loved you.」
「I also loved my master dearly.」
If they already knew, there was no point in hiding it, so he made it clear.
Sam didn’t want to lie about his feelings for Ur.
Sam answered honestly, even though he knew he would be blamed for it.
「…I’m very hesitant to ask you this, and it may hurt you, but let me ask you something. Did Ulrike and you have a sexual relationship?」
「No, we did not.」
「I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to be rude. I just wanted to know what kind of relationship you two had.」
「Please don’t worry about it. I loved my master, but it was only in my last moments that I was able to tell you that.」
「So you did.」
「My relationship with Master is, if I may be so bold, family.」
「―――I see. Family.」
Jonathan and the others did not express their displeasure at Sam calling Ur family when he had his own family in front of him.
Sam was a little relieved.
There was some concern that maybe they might not be happy with Sam, who had become their apprentice without their knowledge.
So far, though, they hadn’t expressed any such feelings.
「I’m glad she doesn’t seem lonely.」
「Really. I’m sure she’s happy to have you by her side.」
「I’m glad to hear it.」
「Now, you inherited everything from my daughter.」
「That’s right.」
「I have to admit, I’m surprised that she was able to use the technique of passing on magic. What did you inherit from her?」
Jonathan’s question was understandable.
Even Sam, who had inherited everything from Ur, still couldn’t believe that such magic existed.
「I inherited my master’s magic, her powers, her knowledge, and her skills.」
「All of it?」
「Yes. I can’t use it yet, but I’ve inherited everything.」
「I never thought that’s possible, but it would be a big deal if I presented it at a conference.」
Jonathan looked upset.
「Dear, that’s not what we need right now.」
「You’re right. I’m sorry. Sam-dono.」
When his wife chided him for almost changing the subject, Jonathan cleared his throat and returned to the conversation.
「Yes.」
「What are you going to do with the power you inherited from my daughter?」
「I’ll stay in Royal Capital for a while because I have things to do.」
「What do you have to do?」
When Sam was asked, he told her exactly what he was going to do.
「I’m going to be the strongest wizard, surpassing my master.」
