"I knew it! You're really Luke! Well, grow up completely! You look just like your father when you were younger!

"Then you'll grow taller too. I was only fifteen when I left the village."

My mother threw out a cage containing mountain vegetables and ran over, touching my face with a smile that still seemed to cry.

"Weren't you sick? Were you eating properly?

"'Cause it's okay. You see, health itself."

At least now, I add in my heart.

If I had been an adventurer for fifteen years, there would have been a normal time when I had no money and had trouble eating, and if I told you about The Millennium Corridor in Naruto a while back, I might have graduated.

Anyway, my mother is the one who gets upset just because I have a minor injury in the woods.

"I told you to leave whenever it got hard, but I can't believe you haven't been back in fifteen years... the lack of news is good evidence, but your father and mother have been worried about you?

"... sorry. You jumped out without even asking me to persuade you, but you couldn't do much good. I didn't know what to look like."

"It's okay... because you're back in good health. From now on, let's live slowly in the village, shall we?

"Oh, no, not like that."

Apparently, my mother thinks I gave up my dreams and came home.

I'm sorry, too, for putting the detailed explanation behind me, but that's a big mistake.

"I'm not going back to the village yet. I couldn't make it as an adventurer, but I've come to appreciate it a lot for another job. I wanted to report that and later..."

When I turned my gaze to Garnett behind me, for the first time, my mother noticed Garnett's presence, and she walked over to me, leaking her voice.

Garnett seems nervous without a pattern, and is somehow enjoying the possibility of retreating.

"Uh, who's this kid?

"Talk to me for a long time, and he (...) woman (...) is helping me with my job"

I dared to choose an expression that clarified Garnett's gender.

Garnett with a surprisingly broken expression.

My mother seemed surprised by the difference in appearance, too, but soon she seemed convinced by her own interpretation.

"Well, if you're traveling, you might be safer."

"No, I'm not dressed as a man for safety... I mean, the White Wolf's! Don't say that all of a sudden!

"Didn't you come here for this?

"... yes. You know... prepare your mind."

She blushed her cheeks and saw the garnet clouding her words, and her mother did her hand to her mouth with a face that sensed something.

"Oh? Hit me... What, Luke, is that true?

"It is. Actually..."

"Well, well, well! I can't believe Luke had such a big kid! Is she like your mother?

"... no, no, no, no"

I deny it immediately because I've made a terrible mistake.

Sure, it wasn't uncommon for a generation of fathers and mothers to have a home in their teens, or even to be a parent in fifteen or sixteen, so it could be a story about me and Garnett being the age difference parents and kids.

But if we don't solve this misconception now, it's just going to be a big deal later.

"What? No?

"I don't know what to say, but... it's embarrassing to talk like this again. See, that's it... a step before that..."

I was going to report it more clearly with my teeth cut off on my plans, but when I actually tried to talk, I didn't really get the word out, and it's such an uncomfortable way to communicate.

When I got into the Count's Night Club and confronted Rembrandt, the former Knights Commander and Garnett's father, he said this didn't happen.

If Rembrandt finds out about this little village in the corner of the woods, he's going to be heartbroken when he's nervous enough to report it to the wife and my mother of a village chief.

But I don't just want to get it over with.

Once you cut the words, breathe, calm down, and re-solidify your readiness to open your tease mouth.

Stop saying that in a far-fetched way. You can't be so badly dressed to lose embarrassment and delude yourself in a place like this.

"I'm dating this kid on the assumption that he's married. The other parent tells me that it's not until more is born that I approve of the engagement. Still, I wanted to report it to my father and mother."

I interrupted Rembrandt's attempt to find Garnett's fiancée for the prosperity of the Argentine family, and I was the one who planned to be entrusted with the Knights at His Majesty's will.

Then there is no reason to be deluded here. Do not delude.

It is irresponsible to imitate that.

Her mother suddenly seemed unable to keep up with her understanding, so she opened her mouth and held her mouth shut, moving her gaze toward Garnett to ask for confirmation.

- Garnett leaned over his bright red face with one hand, affirming my statement with a voice so small that it was no different than whispering.

"Um... yes. That's what happened in the meantime... thankfully..."

Where do you go for your usual careless and powerful behavior?

Garnett was grown up as if he were a borrowed cat, and he was totally pushed away by the currents on this spot.

Watching Garnett react like that will loosen her mouth, but now there are more priorities.

"I have some other amazing reports, but I wonder if my father is in the village today. I can't stay very long, so if I seem to be traveling somewhere, I'll be back in the day..."

"... well, well! Is that true? I can't believe you're dating such a cute little girl! If your father finds out, maybe he'll lose his hips!

Mother rushed to Garnett with joy and praised Garnett's adorability by doing everything in her power.

Honestly, the vocabulary wasn't very rich, but that tells me it's not quite the right compliment.

Garnett was blushing with her mother's momentum, unable to deny her pure goodwill and joy, or accept a host of compliments head-on.
