"Liu!"

Tina jumped straight into my chest.

Let go of Stella's hand and hold her tight.

"Ugh, Liu!"

"Tina...... sorry"

Tina crying.

I'll stroke your back as gently as I can.

"Stay, don't cry."

"Ah, Syndicate. I'm sorry. Mom's fine."

... Mom, right.

Tina turned to the child who had cling to her feet and wiped her tears with her cuffs.

"Speaking of which, who are these people?

I did one reunion with me. Tina saw my daughters.

"Oh. These guys..."

...... hmm?

Wait a minute.

Isn't this a pretty bad situation?

Pull over for a minute.

That's it. Let's just calm down once and sort things out.

First of all, Tina doesn't know one thing about my Harlem.

This is a natural story, because I met Tina before the Harlem system was built today.

Even older than "Eva's Weird," when a total of thirteen bitch bad daughter-in-laws were released, where harem rules are laid by Eva. Surely when I was in this world, I didn't even have a sealed bead, and I should be Aoyagi, who had become a Tengu to the extent that the soul staircase (level) was kansted.

For once, in turn, it would mean the fourth, but Tina is only the first daughter-in-law before the rules were enacted.

I mean, if you introduced the Itunas as my daughter-in-law like this, you'd give Tina an unnecessary shock.

Some people say it's good faith to beat it all up honestly at a time like this, but my opinion is different. I think our tiny conscience is the only thing that makes it easier to smash up an affair or an affair. If that bothers you enough, don't betray me from the beginning.

For the most part, I was totally done with Tina. I was going to spend the same amount of time until I saw Tina, but I was summoned by an unexpected pledge achievement, and after thousands of years of trial and error... because I finally couldn't go back.

I never thought I'd be able to meet again after so much of my subjective time.

No... it seems like thousands of years ago to me, but from the looks of Tina, it seems like it's only been about five years in this world.

With this, Tina could have been waiting for me to come home. Of course he's making a new guy and it's about me. He could be blowing it off a long time ago. As far as I'm concerned, it's easier, but either way, Tina doesn't have a downfall at all, and talking about the current harem is taboo. Even if we talk, not now.

Here are some answers that will make it easier to talk to my daughters and open up the situation...

... All right, let's do this.

Time stop lifted.

"These people (...) are customers (...)"

Ituna and Cyanne gave me a little glimpse of my answer.

"Customer?

Tina is decent, too.

"Yes. I met him on my journey and brought him here today."

I didn't lie.

I just haven't explained everything.

"If that was it, I wish you'd come from the front door."

"Nothing's good. That's why we're standing here. What is it? Let's go inside. I'll lead the guests to the table, so get ready."

"Oh, hey!

I push Tina's back slightly more forcefully and push her to the side of the game.

All the kids I was stuck with pushed me to the other side of the door.

"Hmm. It was dangerous."

I took a breath and looked back, and my daughter-in-law was staring at me with her eyes.

"Sakahagi?

"Well... aren't you going to push it through rule number three here?

"Ha ha. Pretend?

I float my sales smile desperately, even as I get pushed against the wall.

"Yes, welcome, travelers. Welcome to Nesting Wing Pavilion!

Nesting wing pavilion.

It is one of the lodging houses in the street lodging town stretching from the Wang capital.

Adventurers, of course, have a variety of people using accommodation towns, from merchants to villagers coming to pay taxes.

Among other things, the nesting wing pavilion seems to have been a popular inn with delicious food.

But at one point... the innkeeper gets hit by a carriage and becomes someone who doesn't go home.

Inn was to be inherited by one of her husband's daughters, but she was separated from her mother at an early age, and she was left to cut up the inn by herself.

Although the innkeeper only left the recipe for the ingredients in the dish, the cooking method was only in his head. My daughter tried so hard, but her feet kept getting farther and farther away.

They took guests to other inns and the nesting wing pavilion quickly became obsolete.

My daughter, who, while depressed, could not give up the lodging her father had left for her, decided to find out if her father had left any cooking methods somewhere in the storage.

In conclusion, there was no such thing, but my daughter found another item instead.

Instructions for summoning.

It is a written guide of different magic formations.

Why was there such a thing? I don't know now.

But my daughter, who had hoped to rebuild the inn, was enough silo to summon me.

I was summoned in a small storage unit, and while I screwed my daughter, I descended into this world.

"... I see. I got more or less the story."

"In short, Tina is the daughter of the inn."

I sat down in the dining room seat of the nesting wing pavilion and explained to my daughters-in-law what had happened, and I nodded back to Cyanne and Ituna.

"Well, here's the thing. Look, don't say anything extra to Tina. Especially when it comes to daughter-in-law topics."

"Fine. Either way, I'm not interested in your old lady or anything."

"Aye!"

Stella raised her hand well to make sure that Cyanne didn't care about me.

But Ituna's the only one who doesn't respond, and she looks me in the eye.

"Hey, is that okay with Mr. Sakahagi?

What Ituna's trying to say, I know.

I'm not going to tell you about my situation.

Again, I'm not going to accompany her on my journey in addition to my harem.

And I don't stay in one world.

Even if, for example, there is a woman (one) who once loved each other.

"Oh, that's fine"

"Oh well. Okay."

When I answered immediately, Ituna pulled back a little too.

There's no usual smile on that look, it's soggy.

"Well, I'm gonna go talk to Tina for a second."

"Oh, do as you please"

"There you go!

Cianne and Stella drop me off and I head to the kitchen where Tina is.

Only Ituna said nothing and stayed down.

When I went into the kitchen after a gratuity, nostalgia crept up on my chest at the sight I saw a long time ago.

Though the placement of the instrument has changed slightly, it looks like you're saying "welcome back" to the sight that was burning in my brain, and I'm about to cry with joy.

I was able to indulge in the emotion because I had Tina's eyes that were adjusting the heat and subtraction of the pan.

"Tina."

"Ah, Liu!

Tina's face, turned around, is dyed with joy.

"Fine, look at the pot. Anything else I can help you with?

"Yeah, I'm fine. 'Cause that's almost the end of the planting."

The contents of the pan look like hayashi rice.

This is one of the dishes I invented to rebuild the inn.

"I was just about to take a break. Oh, you want some tea?

"I'll take it."

The two of us move to a whispering lounge and make tea.

In the meantime, neither me nor Tina opened their mouths.

Words don't come out well. But this is not an uncomfortable time. Instead, it was hard for me to even try to get it, it was time to just be here right now.

For her, I wonder.

I can't help complaining about the old man who just showed up.

"I'm so glad you're alive"

I had no idea you could say that.

My daughter-in-law didn't remember me worrying about my life.

But sure. If you ask me, I haven't had a tone out for years, and it's no wonder they think I might be dead.

"That's crazy. I should have had plenty to say. You don't come out when you see your face."

"Right."

Tina's tone is gentle everywhere.

Even though there seems to be some grudge against me, I don't even try to show up for a bite.

"Eh. It's been tough since you disappeared all of a sudden, but everyone in town has helped, and thanks to the recipe you left behind, I managed to cut the inn up. I'm finally getting used to living without you..."

That's it, Tina burst into tears all of a sudden.

"Oh, well. This is real, isn't it? It's not a dream."

"It's not a dream. I'm here."

Tina looked me straight in the eye as I shrugged her tears.

"Can I ask you something? Where the hell have you been? What were you doing?

... Yes, I didn't tell Tina about my situation.

I was unable to reveal myself at last, hoping that I would have to talk to him one day.

Long enough to regret it a lot and even forget that I regretted it.

I don't tread the same way.

"I was summoned to another world."

Originally summoned to Tina also by her desire to rebuild the Inn.

That once you have fulfilled your wish, you cannot be in the same world.

That every day was too happy to speak the truth.

That he was alarmed because he was not summoned when the prospect of rebuilding the inn stood.

I tell her that one day, she was suddenly summoned and separated from Tina.

"It was. Lew was hard too..."

Without having to use my abilities, Tina believed my words.

Oh, I did. I've been this kind of daughter for a long time.

Kind and distracting, like getting caught up in such a bastard man.

"I'm just glad you didn't leave with all your love for me."

"You bet. I was going to live with you in this world. But back then, I hadn't figured out all the rules of the pledge. You can cook in your inn every day and tell your guests it's delicious. I'm really glad that was all I had back then..."

This world had all the peace I sought as a human being.

I have a home to go home to, friends to laugh at, and a loving partner.

At least for me, this isn't a 'different' world.

"Hey, can I ask you one thing, too?

"What?

I decided to ask what I cared about.

Tina also snaps her neck looking perfectly relieved.

"The girl who called you Mom."

"Yeah, I am. Lyo's child. It's called Syndicate."

I guess you didn't suspect me because you believed I'd be happy.

Tina smiled and said.

"Right."

I barely had to shape a grin on the edge of my mouth and let her down.

"... Aren't you happy?

Still, you perceived that I wasn't sincerely surprised or pleased, and you peek into my face anxiously.

"That's not true. There's no way I'm not happy with my kid with Tina."

I'm not lying.

I am sincerely happy to have a child.

In the first place, it's not the first time I've seen my daughter-in-law or a woman walking around.

If you just want a child, use pregnancy magic. It's the quickest way for me to try.

Given that my leftover genes would be sprouting in all sorts of different worlds, I wouldn't even like it if I wasn't surprised that I could have one or two kids now.

I'm just reminded that I don't deserve a father for something I can't do with my kids.

But only this time, that's not what I care about.

"Tina, it was Syndicate who summoned me this time."

"Huh?"

"Definitely. When I returned, he was the only one nearby."

Same as once.

The magic formations depicted in the example magic guide kept in that storeroom - although Cyanne probably erased it without a trace from every storeroom - and the pledger's child who was playing nearby. The same thing has happened before.

"Do you have any idea what that kid's wish is?

"Oh, you... are you going to leave us again?

Tina leaves after my serious inquiry.

"Relax. We need to know whether it's going to happen or not. Otherwise, it'll be your dance."

Put your hands on Tina's shoulder and stare at those eyes zippily.

Unlike the bitch daughters-in-law who were hunting rough after being pulled away from Tina, she has a good sense of purpose. If we can convey our sincerity, we can talk and understand each other properly.

So even without using magic or cheat abilities, I can somehow guess what I'm thinking when I look into her eyes.

"Tell me. You know somehow."

Tina didn't look away in my pursuit, she let her gaze swim.

Me and Tina's kid, Syndicate's wish.

If you want someone to play with, like some kid, you can do something about it.

I'm not going to go for the shortest route this time to the boulder or say anything wild. Whatever. I hope he did his father's bluff until he was satisfied.

That's what I thought.

Even though it was.

"Me, my father to Syndicate yesterday... I mean, I'm new to your story. How did you meet me, or what you taught me to cook? I haven't told Syndicate that you're her father yet. I was going to have you speak to me one day..."

No, I'm sure I felt thin myself.

When Tina looked up by stopping running out of my sight, I decided to be ready too.

"I'm sure that kid's wish is to meet and talk to his father. If you're right… If you reveal to Syndicate that you are the father…"

That this world will be the greatest test in history for the existence of Reverse Hakuji.
