Chapitre 127: Mapping I
"Haaa~"
A yawn resounded the room as a young man removed the helmet on his head, revealing his shiny black hair and ruby red eyes.
"What time is it…?"
Zen groggily looked at the wall clock and saw that it was 10 am in the morning.
"Oh shoot!"
His father and mother had informed him yesterday that they would have a meeting early in the morning.
Zen knew fully well that what they meant by "early morning" was 6 in the morning.
Considering that he was already four hours late, his nervousness was very, very understandable.
Therefore, he hurriedly washed his face before rushing towards the dining area.
With his stats, it didn't even take him five minutes. Though he didn't expect that his stats would benefit him this way.
Opening the door, Zen's eyes constricted as he saw his parents waiting for him at the table.
The fact that Sera was also there looking at him with a cheeky smirk on her face did NOT help one bit.
Still, he smiled and greeted them, "Good morning, Mom! Good morning, Dad!"
"Good morning." Ren greeted back before signalling with his eyes.
Knowing what to do, Zen immediately went to Rina's side, "I love you, Mom~"
"Haaa, what took you so long?"
Knowing that she couldn't just outrightly ignore her son, Rina softened and asked with a curious face.
"Well, since we can't bring out the map from the game. I took my time to memorize it…"
Zen said as he scratched the back of his head.
"Eh? Really, Brother?"
Hearing Sera's irritating tone, Zen looked at her and rolled his eyes, "Why? You've got a problem with that?"
"Nothing, Brother. It's just that I was wondering if your photographic memory is failing already."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, I was able to memorize the map that I acquired without much difficulty."
"Really?" Zen felt incredulous.
The details on the map that Arthur gave him were too extreme, to the point that he had to go through it a hundred times before he was sure that he remembered each and every bit of it.
Now that his sister told him that she was able to do it easily, he genuinely wondered if he still had his photographic memory.
At this moment, Sera snickered, "I mean, it's just the map of the human territory, right? I have also drawn it and showed it to Mom and Dad!"
She then pointed to the large paper on the ground that had a detailed drawing of the map of the human territory in the Free World.
"Pffft!!!" Zen let out a laugh as he saw the drawing made by his sister.
Sera felt frustrated, "What are you laughing at, huh!?"
"That's enough for now."
Rina interjected from the side, "Son, what do you want for breakfast? Mom will cook for you."
"Gasp! Really?"
Zen's eyes sparkled and almost a little teary.
His reaction made Rina smile.
"Ummm, can I have a full English breakfast, Mom?"
"You're such a glutton." Sera commented.
On the other hand, Ren smiled brightly and said, "Of course, Son! Your mother and I will prepare it so just stay here and bond with your sister, okay?"
"Okay, Dad." Zen looked at his sister with a deadpan expression.
After they both left and went to the kitchen, Zen stood up and walked towards his sister's drawing.
"Is this the map that you drew?"
Sera smiled smugly and said, "Yes!"
"This is trash." Zen said without holding back.
He then proceeded to pick up the marker and drew over his sister's drawing.
Seeing this, Sera was shocked, "Hey, what are you do… ing?"
However, as she observed the strokes and details that Zen added on her map, she became shocked.
Although she liked to bicker with him, that was all there was to it.
They both understood that there was no ill intention between their words other than just pure sibling "love".
Sera sat beside him and watched him add more details to her drawing.
She found out that the map she drew earlier didn't even have 40% of the details that Zen had added on to it.
This meant that compared to her brother's map, the map given to her by her master didn't even reach half of the details that Zen had added onto it.
Just this fact alone made her wonder where her brother got his map from.
"Hey, are you sure about what you're adding?"
Still unable to believe it, Sera asked softly from the side.
Zen only nodded, "Yes. This is from the map that my teacher gave me. He said that he personally made it just a few years ago."
"What!?" Sera was dumbfounded.
At this moment, Ren and Rina came back with trays of food, "Son! Come and ea…t?"
Ren's eyes widened as he saw the map that Zen had just finished drawing.
He could see that it was the map drawn by Sera, the only difference was the overwhelming amount of details in it.
"Son, can you explain to me just what details you added on your sister's map?"
"Hon, let Zen eat first before you bombard him with questions." Rina pouted in dissatisfaction.
Realizing his mistake, Ren immediately stopped himself from asking any further questions.
"Ignore your father, Son. Come and eat first. I made sure to make it with extra love~"
"Thank you, Mom!"
Zen smiled widely as he excitedly washed his hands before sitting at the table.
Glancing at his father whose eyes remained fixed on the map, he giggled and said, "Don't worry father, the map isn't finished yet."
"What…?"
Not only Ren, but also Sera and Rina were shocked by his words.
Eating a spoonful of scrambled eggs, Zen nodded and added, "It's true. That's just human territory. I still haven't added the territory of the elves, dwarves, and other races."
"D-Do you mean that you have a map of their territory too?" Ren stuttered in surprise.
"Yes, Dad. And they're just as detailed as the map of the human territory. I even have some of the places where dragons live."
"W-What!?"
Sera's shock was apparent on her face as she heard what her brother was saying.
