Free Life ~Record of the Struggle of a Different World General Merchant~

On a cool morning in early May, I was visiting the Adventurer's Guild Headquarters in the intermediate section.

Adventurers who are sucked into buildings reminiscent of a ballpark somewhere, I feel nostalgic at the edge of the flow of that person.

I used to go here, too.

Will that be more than ten years ago? It was when I was known as an up-and-coming young adventurer, having a party with two of my best friends. And then there was a lot of it, and eventually, it got scorned as a "rat."

That's a long time ago, too.

I walked through the main gate with a bitter smile. Yes, even though I was scorned as a rat in the past, I am now known as a hard-working shop.

"Ah, that person..."

"I'm a pregnant maniac...!"

"The impregnating man is here...!"

“If someone is important, hide it!”

If you inadvertently hold the edge, it's over!

……………………………………

No, um...

What kind of man makes you pregnant? Besides, you're the one who made me pregnant! Until a little while ago, it was like a lecher or a stallion or something like that!

(Does it all mean the same thing?)

Haha, I dropped my shoulder and walked sharply. My too good ears still heard the voices around me, and it felt like it even contained fear of me.

(Well... I can't help it.)

If I had noticed, I would have had eight children. Moreover, everyone is hungry, which means that they have made children from one end with a wide variety of opponents.

Polygamy is not forbidden in this country, but a case like mine would be a special case. I was given a new nickname, and today I can still look at the adventurers like I was frightened.

(Let's get together and get out of here.)

I took a small breath and looked around again. On the first floor of the headquarters, the large hall immediately after entering has become a state of crowding that cannot be pushed or pushed. After peak hours, the HQ will calm down considerably, but it's a pity for my daughter to keep her waiting.

Even the active one may get bored and go somewhere. Before that happens, I started looking for that characteristic redhead,

"Oops."

A different redhead came from the back of the headquarters. Pale chocolate-like brown skin on a tightened body. Artie Brave-Scarlet-Castilla, the leader of the most famous young adventurer of our time, was approaching with anger.

Hey, are you leaving now?

Even if I raise my hand lightly, I won't return any words. It was just a grumpy look, and he hit me with a sword-swallowing gaze.

"What the hell are you doing here?"

"Oh, come on. I'm here to see my daughter."

"I know, I don't know. I would have been there, too."

"No, then... why did you ask?"

"It's okay!" I don't need anything! "

Alti suddenly slapped me in the stomach. Thinking of the quarrels, I got angry on my shoulders and headed to the Flying Dragon's landing site. The party members rushed to chase it - and some of them looked back and said:

"I'm sorry, Milord."

"My boss gets angry when he gets rattled."

"Ah, ahhh... yeah. I know."

Please make some more time for the family.

Well then!

Now the girls have gone after Artie. I was left behind for a while, but I quickly regained consciousness and resumed my search for my daughter.

(Family time, hey)

If you think about it, you've been vacating the house. Alti is easy to understand, but I think other families are accumulating dissatisfaction and resentment.

(Please try to reduce business trips as much as possible)

(More chances to meet in my spare time)

(Ughhhh...)

I thought about it in a way that was not a light problem. The people around me avoid me more and more, and the holes in the area seem to have been drilled gently,

DOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Woahhhhhh!?

He shouted at the sudden raid and sank his butt. It looks like someone hit me with a heavy shock to my abdomen.

(No.....)

I'm sure somebody's done for. You have bright red hair, brown skin, and a constant warmth.

Parfait!

Oh!

The toddler who answered with a smile was Artie and my daughter, Parfait Brave-Scarlet-Castilla.

Each of our children can be expressed in one word.

For example, "Battle Junkie" for Finnis, "Doctor Chibi" for Noelle, and "Villain-Faced Angel" for Elizabeth. In the same way, the parfait of the seven women becomes a "dandelion girl".

(mumble)

No. Let's not mislead them just because they're my own people.

To be clear, our parfait is the "son of an idiot". I don't try to think too hard, I try to push myself with intuition and action.

If the fence is locked, it's a girl named Parfait who tries to get over it instead of looking for the key. Sometimes I was curious and I liked the high places, and I didn't know how much my family, or the people around me, cooled my liver.

Still, the child is loved by everyone because of his uncompromising smile and his crunchy personality without a back cover. According to what I hear, children are throwing parties with each other and playing adventurers at a children's club in the guild.

I've seen that kind of scene several times, and Parfait, who showed leadership, was honored as the daughter of Killing's grandson, Alty.

You're such an asshole, aren't you?

When I saw her teething while walking, I thought so again. [M]

"You've been messing with me since before, right?" Are you about to slip out? "

”Nh... I guess I'm just... out of my mind!”

Suddenly!?

"Oh! All of a sudden, I got my upper teeth!"

Parfait brings up his teeth by saying that. Without even trying to hide the face of the toothpick, I feel somewhat dumbfounded by my daughter who laughs as if she is showing off.

(Well, this is Parfait.)

Some people worry about losing their teeth, while others don't. I stroked my daughter's head with joy at her missing teeth, and I took a small handkerchief out of her pouch.

"Look, when it's done properly"

"Hmm? No, just a little bit more..."

I don't know, I must have lost it somewhere before.

Is that it?

"That's right, so, yes. It's in the porch."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk"

Parfait sharpened his lips, which quickly turned into a bright smile. I stroked his head and turned my face to the other side of the street.

(Now, and)

Where shall I go today? Parfait likes to move his body anyway, so there's even a sports park or sports gym.

Nah, nah.

Hmm?

I felt lightly pulled on the bottom of my clothes. At the same time, my daughter called out to me, and I listened to her as I dropped my hips.

What's the matter?

"No, you know what?" I need to ask you something. "

Yeah.

"Hey, Dad."

Yeah.

Why are you here today?

From there!!

I couldn't help but zing it on the spot. Not far from the guild, I can be seen in the distance. However, I managed to stand up and teach Parfait, the son of an asshole, what happened today.

"Look, I told you about the holidays before, didn't I?"

What's going on?

"There it is! There it is!" Remember that first...! "

"Nh...... Ahh, something might have happened!"

"Yes! We talked a lot there."

Yeah.

"I decided to spend a day with all my sisters."

Yeah, yeah.

Today is finally the day for Parfait.

Oh!

"That's why I picked you up in the morning."

Ohh!

The screaming Parfait began to move with his eyes glittering. Pyonpyon jumps small, his heart jumping, his fists clenching.

"So, Dad, you've been with me all day!?"

"That's right."

I did it!♪

He finally smiles bitterly at Parfait, who has begun his long life. While there are grown-up sisters, the seven girls who are childish feel as if they are somehow smiling. In a sense, it could be said to be age-appropriate. After all, I asked the young girl about the future.

"Good. So, what do we do again... today?"

"What are you going to do? What are you going to do...?!"

"Ah, is that it?" Do you want to go on an adventure? "

"Oh! I'm going to pair up with my dad and explore the city!"

Parfait points forward with a bishop. There were no ruins or labyrinths ahead, but it seemed like Chibi-chan's eyes were showing an unknown magical realm, an unspoiled region.

You really like adventure, don't you?

"Aren't you?" I'm such an adventurer! "

That said, the seven-year-old with the chest open is not even new to the United States...

Well, this is kind of like part of the play. There's a lot of excitement about this guy saying it's an adventure, and even walking around the neighborhood, playing in the park, and even shopping at a tool store can turn it into a big adventure.

As expected, I don't want to treat my dog like Cerberus,

Maybe that's a good part of Parfait.

My daughter, who can enjoy everything with all her might, was quite a fun person to play with.

Nah, you want to go on an adventure soon?

Oh!

"Don't run and jump out on the street."

I know!

Parfait, who was surprisingly obedient, ran to the corner of the street. When I caught up with it, I ran out again, and we started playing funny games.

Is there somewhere you want to go?

"Hey! But I think you'll find something if you look for it!"

A toddler who speaks unplanned words with full confidence. In other words, it was a hit, but our parfait had a strength that didn't end there.

So, it's out! It's gargoyle!

Huh!? This time it's a witch's hideout!?

"Uuuu...! The tall giant is looking at me...!"

"Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

The stone statue on the gate pole makes a noise. I was surprised when I approached the store on the back street. Mistaking the spire for a tall giant, or being surprised by the real Knights, my daughter reacted in a variety of ways.

After all, Parfait is the kind of person who enjoys everything. It's nothing for adults, and even the city's meagre sculptures and cobblestones show fresh emotions.

(Plus......)

Some of what Parfait found--

Actually, there are a few things that are ridiculously misleading.

In the previous example, the witch's lair looked exactly like that. The new green witch who lived hidden in the King's capital, and the store with its front-facing pocket was in the back alley.

(Others... that sculpture, too?)

The strange sculpture I saw earlier is one of those commonly referred to as the ancient runes. I don't know exactly, and it looks like I've already lost my function, but I can see that it's valuable.

I'll let Elu know later.

In other words, it is so unusual. However, Parfait didn't realize it, and found ordinary things, amazing things, and actually amazing things from one to the next depending on the treatment. The figure was reminiscent of yesterday's [Appraisal Eye], but it was clearly different from Eliza's. Seven Ladies' Parfait inherited such qualities.

(Find power, Observation Eye or not)

It's a skill I'm familiar with. The ability to find treasure chests and traps is an essential ability for a Recon role. When I tried to use this consciously, it became a Scan skill, but Parfait's skill was completely unconscious, and I had learned it as a passive skill.

Thanks to this, my daughter will find all kinds of things, but when she said it, it was over, and Parfait didn't seem to know the value of the things.

(It would be better that way.)

As a parent, I'm troubled when I realize that I'm not good at it. I wish Parfait would remain innocent until he was an adult.

"Ugh!? I stepped on my horse's poop!!"

(That's right, this is it)

Like this, it's a bit stupid to stay like this.

Oh, by the way...

"What? What?"

"Father, do you know how envious I am?"

"You mean the back road? Well, I know you do, don't I?"

There are several places in Gran Feria that were not zoned. Most of the time, it was intrusive, and I was almost lost if I was familiar with the city's geography or had some exploration skills.

"It's not a place for children alone." Even with adults, it's a little subtle. "

"Are you a vimillo?" Is it okay to have an adult? "

"Hmm... no good. After all, it's no good to have adults."

"Where's your dad? Is it okay for him to go with you?"

"Ughhh... would it be okay if I did?" It might be okay.

"Yay! Let's go!" Let's go to Urakimichi! "

"From now on!? I think it's a bit far, I'll cut it over there."

"Hehehehe!" It's right around the corner! ”

"Huh? Is there... around the corner?"

"Oh! Look, over there on the street!"

"Is that... ehhhhhhhhh!?"

I was surprised to see the indicated place. What an "alley that shouldn't be," where you can see suspicious shadows or fantastic lights.

That is the gateway to the other side of the world. Paranormal beings are different spaces that are used as hiding places or shortcuts. I was never seen by ordinary people, and I didn't even expect that there would be a "King's Capital, not a King's Capital" until I delivered a letter to the evil god myself.

Recently, both Nyadia and I have been using it for delivery work.

(Did Parfait find that...?)

Maybe my daughter's [Observation Eye] was more powerful than I thought.

I knew you were there at the request of the fairy princess.

"Oh, my God! It was so much fun!"

"You have a nice smile..."

It's not funny, is it? Even if it is in a different space, it is a very frightening story for children to come and go alone.

(It seems that there is a convenient mechanism to send back the lost.)

Sometimes it was hidden, so I thought we should ban the back road.

"Hey, Parfait."

What's the matter, Dad?

"You're not alone on that road... hey hey hey!?"

At the same time, Parfait rushed to the back road. A strange passage that no one was aware of, and my daughter disappeared into a different space as she jumped into it.

"Wait! Wait, Parfait! Wait!"

I rushed into the back road too, but...

At that moment, I felt the space twisting heavily. Looking back, there's no way out, it's like we're trapped here.

"Ahhhh...!"

This ambiguous place is troublesome because these things happen right away. The space itself is alive, or it changes its shape regularly to confuse visitors.

I don't mind if I get used to it, and there are many other exits, but it seemed like it would be a very troublesome journey for me and my children.

Huh? Somehow the road has disappeared?

”Yeah, I see... it's gone.”

Well then, is it a mysterious dungeon!?

"Well... it's kind of like that, though."

I sighed for a short answer. In contrast, Parfait's eyes sparkled, and he tried to go deeper with a smile that said it was an adventure.

Ah, so wait a minute!

"Whoa!?"

I grabbed it and spun it around. I decided to pay close attention here to my daughter, who still doesn't seem to know anything.

"Look, this is quite a different city." We can't let people in, and we can't find the entrance like we do. "

"Is that so?" Is it impossible for Mom and Grandpa? "

"Maybe not." Your sisters can't either. It's impossible to find a talent like you, unless you have a good eye for it. "

"Well, but I could see it... and you could see it, too, right?"

Yeah. That's why Parfait and I have good eyes.

Hmmm?

Parfait shouted out a carefree voice. At this age, the distinction between self and others is still very sweet, and if I were, I would assume that other people would be the same.

However, it is by no means the same as "I don't know if I can say it". Like when I taught other rules, I kept talking about the back road.

“If they don't see you, they won't find you if they get lost here.”

"Isn't that... bad!?"

"Oh, no. That's why you can't go in alone."

"Yeah...!? But it's already in there."

"I'll be fine without you." If I'm with you, you can come in. "

Is that so?

"That's right."

The point here was not to deny it completely. If they say no, it's the child who sneaks in, but if you make a condition, it's the child who follows.

Of course, it cannot be said at all, but at least our seven women are human beings who can keep the rules. Without showing any reflexive words of denial or excessive rebellion, Parfait shook his head straight up.

"Okay, I won't come in without my dad."

Yeah.

I can't get close to this place by myself.

"Yes, it is."

I'll give you a nod with a smile. I'm an asshole, but I'm not an idiot. I felt like a love kind of thing for a girl like that.

"Well then... let's see"

"Whoa!? Whoa!?"

I'm with you right now, so let's take a little adventure?

Is that okay!?

Yeah.

Parfait turned into a shoulder carriage and moved forward. The little red-haired girl was so excited that she clung to my head and started giving me instructions.

"Hey! Let's go, Dad!" I'm going to the labyrinth! "

"Aiiiii, well, at the speed forward."

"Full speed ahead!" Get into that square! "

Hoi

”Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

It's not as fast as cutting the wind, but Parfait is happy to hear my run. The original plan for today was to entertain him enough, so I was going to let him do what my daughter wanted from here on out.

Huh!? There's some amazing fountain!?

I see. Maybe there's a fairy living there?

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Should I throw a coin or something!?"

"Why don't you try throwing it? Maybe you'll get some kind of thank you back?"

"Alright...! Ahhh!?"

”... hh? You're the missing tooth, aren't you?”

What is it!

”The golden dentures are back!?”

What are you doing here?!

"Mushroom field, no, mushroom forest....?"

"Wow. I hate mushrooms."

Oh, I like it a lot, though.

"Seriously. It's disgusting, isn't it?"

I don't think so.

"Huh? Some things are crunchy and delicious."

"... nnh?"

The mushroom talked!

"Oh, Dad, oh! It's a weird candy house!"

"Well, there's a chic store in Melhen."

"Why don't you pull over and do this?" I'm kind of hungry. "

Well... let's eat.

I'll do it ~♪

"Whichever, what kind of guy runs the store..."

Yees, yees, yees, yees!

A picturesque witch has appeared!

One disturbance went a little further, the other two disturbances went a little further, and Parfait and I were waging a bumpy road war in the back of the king's capital.

Clearly a different section, a rare creature like someone's fantasy, it's flooded with strange elements anyway. In a different space that seems to repaint common sense.

However, Parfait was about to raise his voice to his satisfaction.

"Hiya, amazing, Dad!" This place is amazing! "

What, you really like it, don't you?

"Oh! Look at the world in the picture book!"

"Ahh... maybe if I told you?"

"That's right! It feels awesome!"

Haha, is that fantasy?

This world itself is a fantasy to me. I haven't been aware of it lately, but I haven't remembered it for a long time today.

(The fantasy world of swords and magic. the other Earth, or)

I don't know why there is such a world. Summarizing the listening elements, it seems that some kind of creator god is controlling the world.

(It's too magnificent to tell.)

I could say that even this alien space was beyond my comprehension.

"It's okay, here." I'll try to live here. "

"Hey, you can't do this, Parfait. I have to get home."

"But, it's going to be awesome every day!"

"It's going to be... but I can't meet everyone here." Is that all right? "

"Ugh...! No, I can't do that."

Isn't that right? Well, let's do it so that we can come and play.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk"

Parfait hangs her legs on a roadside bench. After stroking my little head, I stood up as if I were bouncing.

Alright! Then I'll walk again!

Huh? Is the cueing over?

"That's it, that's it, that's it. It's about time for lunch, so let's eat dinner?"

I see! That baba's sweets are not enough!

"Don't say" baba ". She's a kind witch's grandmother."

I put it on my shoulder while paying attention to my daughter. As I remembered that haughty laughter and unexpectedly gentle response, I went forward again.

If we go a little further, we can go back to the original city.

"Is that so?" Is there an exit? "

“Maybe. My instincts are in the other corner.”

"Daddy is amazing!" You don't know that, do you? "

I said, "If you train, you'll understand."

"Seriously!? Then I'll do it! I'll train you!"

"Please do so."

I laugh a little and walk technically. [Observation Eye] I don't have to say anything if you train me, but maybe if I eat dinner, Parfait will be a nuisance. With that kind of sight in mind, well, I don't have to be in a hurry,

Ah...

Hmm?

Suddenly, a voice rose behind her head. Showing a look back, Parfait raised his hand and pointed toward the end of the street.

"Dad, is that it?"

Huh? What is that?

No, I don't know, but...

I saw something approaching.

When I said that, my daughter started to stare in front of me.

(What is it...?)

The end of the alley is blurry and blurry as if it were a cloud. Although I felt some signs, it seemed normal in this space.

(I don't feel murderous or malicious)

Something... something is slowly approaching...

It gradually began to contour, and eventually even the sound jumped out.

Sage Emperor Ringarings's ooooooooooooooooo!!!



"Wahhhhhhhhhh! Wahhhhhhhhhh!!"

Suddenly something like a parade emerged from the fog ahead. The rumbling instrument sounded high, followed by the procession of elephants, lions, and soldiers. On the shrine as it looked up, there was a muscular giant who pierced the heavens.

Is that the man named Smart Emperor Lingalingus? In this case, I can't feel the characters of wisdom, and it's like the brain is made of muscles.

"That's not the case!!"

"Oh, oh!?"

"Let's get out of here, Parfait! If we stay here, we'll get caught up in it!"

It was more important to move before thinking about it. I started back on the road at full speed so I wouldn't get caught up in that muscle parade.

However,

"Wahhhhhhhhhh! Wahhhhhhhhhh!!"

(I can't shake it off...!?)

What the hell was going on? That Macho's voice was chasing me. No, things don't just stay that way, but the back of the King's City is beginning to show more chaos.

"Oh, it's a jungle in the city."

Oh! That's a crystal cave!

"Oh no! There was some old man like Pixie!?"

"Whoa!? Don't look! Don't look! Don't find anything more!"

It was like every time Parfait found it, there were more and more strange things. Along with that, the hunch of an exit was getting farther away, and the voice of the parade was still approaching from behind.

(What is this!? What the hell!?)

Is it true that children and different spaces go well together? It felt like Alice's wonderland in the back of the kingdom, as if she had mixed delusions with reality.

"Awesome! Dad, haaaaaaaaaaaaah!!"

Parfait is more pleased than ever...

No, no, no! Don't stay in a space you don't understand for that reason! That's what I told myself, and I kept running desperately,

NGHHHH!!

It's good!? My muscles have caught up with me!?

The flesh, glowing white teeth, and the Lingering are pose to block the path. No, on the contrary, a variety of rare creatures gathered in the vast empty space!

"What is this... what is this!?"

Finally, I was stunned by the inhabitants of other spaces who had started the musical, and Parfait had a big laugh--
