Mr. Bowman led me to the entrance of the house. I was hoping to show my face to Sandro's father, but it looks like it will be difficult. I'm more behind the scenes than Camilo this time.

Well, it's not like I won't have a chance in the future, I'll just have to show up at the restaurant again.

When Mr. Bowman opened the front door, Krull and Lucy were waiting for him. I don't know how long I've been here, but Katerina is mooching off Lucy. Lucy was also flapping her tail, so she probably felt like she was being played with by her big sister.

"Lucy, I'm going home.

When I called out to her, Lucy let out a "woof" and jumped onto the cart. The way she jumped on the cart was so well-behaved that she didn't seem to be in any danger anymore. I guess she's growing up fast.

Katerina, who had been mooching, looked at me with a resentful expression.

I'm not sure what to make of that.

I sighed. I'm not sure what to make of it. It's not just a wolf demon, it's our family.

It's a big house, why don't you advise them to get a guard dog?

A puppy?

They'll get used to the environment better than an adult dog, and if you can get a puppy, that would be better.

I don't know much about pets because I never had one in my previous life, but I think it's better for the dog to get used to the environment while he's still a child so that he feels less discomfort.

I see. ......

Katerina put her hand on her forehead and thought about it. I'm not sure what to say. Maybe Lucy will have someone to play with when she comes back next time.

I'll see you later. Thank you for everything you did for me today.

Oh, I'm sorry. Take care of yourself on the way.

When we got into the cart and called out to her, Katerina hurriedly straightened her appearance and said, "I'm sorry. The way she bowed her head was graceful, unlike the impression I had just gotten. It's not a bad thing that he's uninhibited, and he's got the ability to do it. You have ......, right?

I'm not sure what to make of this. Lucy is wagging her tail as much as she can, and it looks like she is waving goodbye ....... I'm not sure what to make of that.

"Well, it's pretty hard to be in awe.

You get used to it when you're out there a lot.

Deanna laughed at my words. Anne nodded her head in agreement.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one who's had to deal with this.

"Yeah, .......

This time Anne answered.

There's not a lot of good reasons to gather a lot of people, and when people gather, that's more or less what happens. And when people get together, there's always more or less of that going on, especially if they think their future might be affected by it.

"Wow.

I was aware of my face turning bitter as I bit down on it. I feel like I'm going to have a pit in my stomach just listening to this. I'm really not suited for aristocratic society.

After all, I'd rather live a leisurely life as a blacksmith in the forest.

I think that would be better.

I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it. I'm not sure what to make of it. And thanks to her, our farm is just beginning to look good.

Speaking of which, are you feeling all right?

Yes, I'm fine. I'm fine for that amount of time.

Liddy smiled at me. The dress she wore earlier was beautiful, but it was still a relief to see her smiling face.

I can't really imagine Eizo living out of the forest.

"Neither can I.

That's what Samija and Helen said. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what's going on in your life.

I'm not going to live in the city even if I don't have to deal with the forge.

And if the master quits the blacksmith shop, I'll be in trouble.

That will never happen, so don't worry.

I'm not going to let that happen. This is a great way to make sure you are getting the most out of your time with your family and friends. I'm not going to give up on it.

Then, the dragon carriage driven by Krull passed through the capital and approached the city road. The conversation gradually shifted from today's ceremony to that of the house.

They talked about the crops in the fields, the fact that it was going to be hot soon, and that we should increase the amount of salted meat rather than dried meat, and that we should ask Camilo to increase the amount of salt we buy.

Little by little, everyone was getting back to "normal" after a rather unusual day.

Just before we reached the entrance to the forest, the sun began to turn the world madder red. As I looked across the meadow with my torch ready, the sun was half hidden.

The grass fluttering in the breeze reflected the glittering light, and it looked as if the sun was gently caressing the meadow.

It would be nice if things were peaceful like this forever.

I said, and everyone nodded. The scenery that I could see was so peaceful. However, something must be going on in the world that I can't see.

I can't stop all of it. Even with my cheats, I'm just an old man in a blacksmith shop. But still...

I'd like to do whatever it takes to keep the peace within sight.

And I hoped that this would be "always" the case.

Then the sun went down, and we lit the torches and entered the forest. We were already familiar with this area. Maybe the animals in the forest are used to us, or maybe they're just used to us, but nothing caught Saamya's nose or Helen's sense of presence, and Krull was in a good mood as he led the cart.

We arrived at the house in what I thought might be the shortest time from the forest entrance.

Thinking that today had been quite a tumultuous day, we all unhooked the cart from Krull and somehow all lined up in front of the house. Krull and Lucy also lined up together.

The house was illuminated by torchlight. Some people might call it eerie. But I felt at ease.

No one said anything for a while, but then someone in line said, "Se-no". I knew exactly what to say after that.

I'm home.

We all said it together, and I opened the door of my house. Thus, we were back to "normal.
