It was when I finished my post-war report at the castle with your father and tried to get in the carriage to get home.
I saw Marc and Letia, who helped me when I fought Behemoth, an animal girl with pale pink hair, white cat ears and tail...... around my age, with as many kids as I did, in a place in front of the royal castle that said 'Survivors Reception'.
"Father, I need to speak to you for a moment, so please give me a moment."
That's what I said. I walked away from the carriage and headed to them.
"... ah, that time"
First, Letia reacted to my appearance coming towards me.
"Oh! You're the one who helped me. Thank you so much then!
The next thing I know, Marc waves loudly and calls out. He seems to be a pleasant and casual character as opposed to Letia.
I'm Marc, and this is Letia and Mina.
Marc introduced himself.
"I'm Daisy."
In response, I named my first name.
"And that outfit... noble lady, well, I can't believe she's coming to hand out potions to such a frontline"
As Letia shrugged, she watched as the lady looked different in her dress and flaunted her shoulder as the shruggedness deepened.
"Yeah, so I guess I'll be preaching when I get home from now on"
I, little tongue, laugh, flatter my shoulders.
"By the way, why is everyone here..."
When I cut to the point, Letia and Marc look at each other and Mina looks down.
"Um, my father and mother were adventurers... and they were also in today's crusade for the South Gate..."
As she leans down, Miina tries to answer, but the words eventually change for the tears, circling that the tears are pounding on the ground.
... I noticed that your father was coming behind me because he was concerned about 'this place'.
"Excuse me for interrupting suddenly. I'm Daisy's father.... Lady, did both your father and mother die in this case?
Your father leaves my side, crouches down to the front of the miina and puts his gaze at the same height. And ask with a gentle voice.
"... yeah. Of Mina, my mom and dad ran off and were adventurous, so I, my family, were gone..."
That's how my emotions dawn and cry out again, Mina.
Your father was just quietly stroking your back with such a mina.
"Does Mina have somewhere to go?
Your father asks Mina kindly.
Mina shakes her head with tears in her eyes.
Marc and Letia also lean down.
"... Mina, show me a little bit about you"
Apologize in my heart to confirm on my own, and I see her in [appraisal].
[Mina]
Civilians and orphans
Health: 25/25
Magic: 50/50
Occupation: None
Skills: Cooking (4/10), Laundry (3/10), Cleaning (3/10), Water Magic (1/10), Fire Magic (1/10)
Prize Punishment: none
I sneak up on your father.
'She doesn't have a history of being punished. And you have a talent for chores, headed by cooking'
Your father just nods, yeah.
"Mina, if you stay put, you have to go to the orphanage or look for a way to live on your own. So, if it's a good idea, do you want to slow down at home for a while before you decide how to shake yourself? If you can do some chores, you can be my maid of honor, and I have a choice to work for my independent daughter Daisy in the future. If you don't like that either, let's work together to find a place to work.... What do you think?
To a suggestion from my father, Marc and Letia give a brighter look and a soothing look.
Mina is confused not knowing what to answer to her sudden suggestion.
"I, Henry von Preslaria. He's a proper nobleman who serves the king of this country. Your father and mother are the heroes who gave their lives for this country. I would never harm you, the children of such people. Take your time in my house until I can decide what you're going to do. Don't hesitate."
Mina stares alternately at Marc and Letia's face.
The two of you, yeah, make me snort.
You feel a little relieved, Mina's shrinking and her hidden tail comes up between her legs.
"... I have no idea how you do it... but I remember it right. So thank you."
Peco, bowed to your father.
Yeah, yeah, and your father strokes Mina's head and smiles.
Me and your father are going home with Mina.
