At the end of a two-day trip, it is the usual routine from today.

Wake up early as usual, leave the children's room to avoid waking up Nicolas as usual, greet your parents in the kitchen, then eat prepared white bread, then grab the chips and clean them in front of the store.

Then a macho old man came towards us from the front street. It's Delica's father, Gosh.

Good morning, Uncle Gosh.

Oh, good morning.

"It's the tentacle I left you yesterday. Wait, I'll be right out."

"Ah, that's fine later. Could you call your parents first?

Speaking of which, when we broke up yesterday, you said you were coming to say hello. It must be about Delica's part-time job. After finishing breakfast in the kitchen, I told my father and mother that Gosh was coming and called them to the dining room.

And Nicola came to the dining room table without even calling her father and mother. The whole family came together. And Gosh sat on the chair.

"I'm really sorry I put both of your children in danger, even though you left it to me!

Gosh lowered his head with the momentum of banging his head on the table.

This solidified the whole family. Apparently Gosh came to apologize. But you don't have to worry so much.

I can't imagine being attacked by a bandit, and if I care about that, I can't get out of town.

... well, maybe that's what I can say when I'm safe. But you don't have to be so responsible, do you?

"... well, please raise your head! You don't have to worry about that. My kids aren't that bad."

My mother, who had returned from Freeze as soon as possible, pardoned Gosh and nodded many times beside him. Dad, Gosh's nodding down, so I don't know.

"No, but! What a pathetic adult I am to be attacked by a bandit while keeping my precious child and having my child wipe my ass!"

Gosh keeps apologizing with his head down, but his mother blocks it.

"It's okay. Rather, in a world like this, I'm wondering if it has become a bit of a good social study. Right?"

My mom looks at me and laughs, and me and Nicolas say yes.

Recently, I thought that my mother's educational policy was not to "drop my child into the valley of Chihiro", but to "watch my child fall into the valley of Chihiro on his own".

After such a few minutes of persuasion, Gosh finally raised his head and his mother slapped him with both hands.

"So this story is over! Understood!?

"Ha, ha, okay.... ahh, so this bandit..."

The subject turned to the end of the bandits who attacked us. Gosh contacted the guards as soon as he sent us home and sent Delica back to the raid site with the guards.

Upon arrival at the scene, two of the three bandits fainted and the other one broke one leg while trying to escape the scene, apparently caught lightly.

Apparently, those bandits were part of a band that made the streets between the Territory and this town territorial. However, it appears that the vast majority of them were captured in a lords-led bandit hunt, revealing from the tattoos carved into their confessions and bodies that they were the remnants who managed to escape at that time.

And in order to resume our activities with a small number of people, they were searching for prey on a low-risk low-return route between town and village, and they found us, raided us, and retaliated.

I'm glad I got caught, but there's one thing I'm worried about.

"Uncle, what happens to captured bandits?

"That would be you tied up. I don't suppose a thief would ever fall into criminal slavery."

Gosh answers. Apparently bandits = death penalty. In other words, there are slaves in this world. I've never seen it in this town.

Gosh keeps talking back to her mother.

"So the rest of the bandits were nominated by the lord, so they get a crusade reward. I could have taken it instead yesterday, but I thought it would be better if the two of you went to pick it up because it was about Mark and Nicolas. I got this."

Gosh took out a letter that had been folded in two from his pocket and gave it to me with a smile.

"Take this to the Adventurers Guild for a reward. You can go to the Adventurers Guild later."

When I opened the letter, it stated the name and appearance of me and Nicolas, details of the circumstances surrounding the assassination of the three bandits, and that Nicolas and I were eligible for a reward.

And what a complicated pattern the judge was pushing, but I feel a faint mana, so it's probably magic to prevent counterfeiting.

I wish Gosh would give it to me separately, but I think it would be one of the longing events to receive rewards from the Adventurers Guild for seeing Gosh's face from public children.

Probably a Gosh service. I appreciate your favor.

"Thank you! I'll come with Nicolas later."

Answering that, Gosh nodded satisfactorily.

Looks like this is the end of Gosh's business. I stopped Gosh from taking a seat and took out two of the packages I had taken out of the item box.

One is a fillet of tentacles that I kept, and the other is a squid ball okonomiyaki that my father asked me to make yesterday. I really wanted Gosh to eat it, too.

"This is a new menu of okonomiyaki tentacles. Come and eat if you like."

"Oh, you look good! Ma'am, it's a treat!

Gosh lowers his head to his mother. It was my father who made it. My father nodded one nod, and my mother smiled without saying anything.

And Gosh walked back home lightly. Guests came to the cafeteria for breakfast to replace it, so we went back to work.

I have some work to do at home for a while, but when I'm done, I'll take Nicolas to the Adventurers Guild.

I haven't been in the Adventurers Guild since Celine took me down and slaughtered Goblins. Is there still a receptionist with black hair back then?
