Heirloom

"Come, sit down and let's talk."

I was surprised to hear this the moment that I opened the door.

But I couldn't help revealing a faint smile after hearing this since I had sort of been expecting it already.

During the past month, I had been running around in the dungeons most of the time, so I had spent very little time at home. It would be strange if they didn't think that something was up, but they didn't actually confront me about this during this time.

Instead, they chose now to talk to me about this.

I wonder if they knew that something was up.

"It's tomorrow, isn't it?"

I was surprised when I heard my father ask me this.

This certainly wasn't what I had been expecting to hear since I had been keeping the information about the competition a secret. I had made sure that none of them knew what I had been doing during this time since I didn't want them to worry.
