"Welcome home, Luke!

"Oh, my God! He's got a really cute kid!

"Rumor has it that you're awesome, is that true?

"You're finally in the lead. Now we can finally open the liquor."

"What are you doing here, you? Luke's welcome comes first."

Fifteen years of nostalgic facial touches make a lively noise, skinning the mother who picked her up to the front door.

My parents' siblings and cousins.

Plus to my parents' cousins and their children - it's so much trouble to even count my relationship with myself, anyway.

The large living room, which also houses the assembly hall, attracts more than twenty people.

It's me and the adults directly in front of me.

Behind it are the faces I was young when I left the village, and the children I thought I was born after that.

Targeted at the next adults to talk to, the kids seemed more intrigued by the food at the table than I was, and looked forward to the signal that they could start eating.

I get strange and nostalgic about the old self I was in their shoes.

"... everyone, long time no see. There's too much going on in a while, and I don't know where the hell to start."

"You don't have to be in a hurry, just a little bit. Here, sit down, sit down."

Mother prompted me to sit in a chair with Garnett, and I realized that there was no one there.

"I knew you didn't have a father. I thought so."

"I'm sorry, Luke. I asked Wally to go get me to my neighbor village, but I can't believe he wouldn't make it because he still has work to do..."

"He said you don't have to worry about it. I thought you didn't have to be welcomed by your father."

I really think so, not self-inflicted or blamed.

I assure you I can't, because I pushed off my father's opposition and left the village, and in the end I couldn't get out of the bottom of the adventurer, as the word goes, and I didn't even get a survival report for fifteen years out of my awkwardness and nagging self-esteem.

I couldn't complain very much if I thought I'd been worrying about my mother the whole time, trying to get hit in the head by an encounter, trying to get her turned around to do something welcoming or something.

"Well, first..."

Start telling memories of fifteen years in front of everyone who can't help but listen to you quickly.

- First of all, a number of impressive events I experienced as an adventurer.

There are just too many seeds to talk about this, and if I had told you everything, it would not have been over overnight, so I decide to tell you better and make you listen to what I take.

It was the children, rather than the adults, who had eaten the most on this topic.

Far from being the lead adventurer myself, it was just a case I saw and heard in the adventurer neighborhood and memorabilia when I adventured with other adventurers, but still the kids are innocently blinking their eyes.

I still can't help remembering who I was when I was a child who made me yearn for His Majesty's martial arts as an adventurer.

Although I am afraid to identify myself with His Majesty.

- And after it's time to put the kids to rest, now we decide to talk about what happened after we closed the adventurer.

Brave Falcon and the backdrop on "The Millennium Corridor of Naruto".

The topic of an arms store that opened in Greenhollow Town.

He also told us that he had obtained permission to handle Mithril, that he had seen it with His Majesty the King, and that he had cooperated in the war between the Golden Tooth Knights and the Demon King's Army, but at first they all seemed half-hearted and obscure.

I must have reacted the same way if I was in everyone's shoes.

I could believe it by showing me the seal I just had at hand, or by showing me evidence that Garnett was from the Argentian family of the Silver Knights, but that caused a great deal of excitement.

It's going to get bigger and bigger talking about what the village's best appearance is and no longer know what it's a banquet for.

Especially when it came to my mother's delight, it was enough to feel really sorry for me for not telling her anything until today.

- But of course, I didn't reveal everything honestly.

I lay down properly that I shouldn't reveal it lightly, even in my body, and only choose and talk about matters that I can tell you.

The same goes specifically for the establishment of the new Knights.

This is a project that is still under consideration and coordination in the Royal Palace, so it needs to be kept secret until there is a formal announcement.

Unless you're going to talk to someone who already knows about this, but it's not until a little later that you can be revealed to people in your hometown, including your mother.

- Naturally, I'm not the only one who's ever talked about it.

They also told me about an incident that happened in the village in the fifteen years I was gone, from one end to the other.

We're talking about the least changing countryside, so most of the talk is about residents.

Who married who, or who went out to the city?

Who and whose child is that child, or that some grandparent died?

Some of them were talking about my brothers and sisters, and I was told that they were all away from the village now due to various circumstances, so they couldn't attend the banquet tonight.

Of course, it's not a compelling reason, like me, but a whole lot of reasons my father and mother agreed, like it's for study or work training.

My mother seemed sorry, but I'm sorry I couldn't get in touch with her beforehand with all this.

- Garnett was also in a lot of trouble at Garnett while I was telling him stories about fifteen years worth of nostalgic facial touches.

More intrigued by the beautiful girls I've brought than by my stories, Garnett, dressed as the girl and named 'Alma Argentia', is doing everything in her power to be cute and question attacking.

I described it as a bunch of women in the distance, but more than half of them are so-called 'country aunts'.

Garnett was overwhelmed by their reluctance and caretaker grill, and he kept responding hard as he was about to turn his eyes.

Or don't ask me how far my relationship has gone.

Either way, that question is no comment.

Eventually, around the end of the night, the banquet ends, and after most relatives leave, the mother and some relatives finish cleaning up.

Me and Garnett were told to take some time off for treating visitors, and I was advised to soothe my fatigue with a bath that was left boiling.

"Are you sure? Come in from me."

"Guests can do this first."

Don't hesitate.

I sent Garnett out to the bathroom where only one person could get in, and I casually took her to the living room, trying to drink some water to kick out the liquor I had left in my body.

The banquet, the cleanup, the deserted living room - or the assembly hall.

There one man was sitting down in a large table chair.

A man who made me look about twenty years old, seeped rigour out of his expression as well.

"- Dad."

"Long time no see, Luke"

The voice was unchanged from fifteen years ago and sounded like it intentionally contained the ups and downs of emotions.
