Then four years went by.
The children turned fourteen.
Elsa was running down the sword path. He enthusiastically encouraged him to work out and made the many sword moves I taught him his own flesh.
No enemies in the village swordsmanship tournament usually. It was banned this year, just like me.
"I'm glad you're on the same ban as your father......!
And I was happy.
To say the world is wide open, it would be about Elsa happy to be banned from the tournament.
As a caution stick for the village, Elsa also fought the demons. It was the first war that I cowered, but since I found those to protect, my fright has also disappeared.
He also showed his opponents a brave battle against demon pigs and demon wolves.
Anna had shown her full managerial skill and bargaining skills.
Ever since she became involved in the management of the village, the village's finances were moisturized, and the villagers were able to lead a richer life than before. Every year, in the fall, the festival to thank Anna went out of her way.
It was also Zara to be scouted by the merchants coming to the village. But she didn't seem to feel like it at the time and said no to everything.
Only her dream seems to be to become the guild master of the Adventurer Alliance. The strength of that will is while Coldstone.
Meryl was still a sweetheart and skipper, but she started using magic for people, not for self-expression, but for the world.
"Paper. Today, hey, I used dirt magic to find the hot springs. ♪ Thanks to you, we're going to have hot springs in this village. ♪
"Oh! Wow! You've been very helpful to everyone."
♪ Praise me, praise me ♪
"Meryl's a pain in the ass."
"So hehe ♪ Happiness ♪"
... for the sake of the world, or I would like to be praised by me, but I also feel like for it. As it turns out, it's for people.
All my daughters have grown up fine.
In this world, when I turn fourteen, I get the right to take up a profession.
It is not until you reach this age that you can become an adventurer or guild worker.
I jumped at the adventurer when I was fourteen, too.
They were also the time to move towards each dream.
Elsa is on the same adventurer's path as I am.
Anna is on her way to the Alliance Master.
And Merrill said in person that he was on Neat's path... but as a result of abolishing what he didn't want to do, he was on the wizard's path.
Tomorrow, my daughters were to travel to the King's Capital.
This is my last night with four members of my family.
All four of them were in the living room of the house, mouthing treats such as meat pie on a ravioli stew and freshly baked bread on bacon.
"Hey. Are you sure Dad won't come with us?
Meryl said in a lonely tone.
"Oh, I have a village baton job. I've been asked to do other things. We have to protect this house."
"I miss you! I can't live without my dad! If my dad stays in the village, I'll stay here too!"
"No, you can't. Wagamama said so. Don't bother my dad."
Anna told me to be embarrassed.
"And if Meryl stays in the village, because my dad would spoil it and nit straight line. Go out to the king's capital and be rubbed by the waves of society."
"Mmm."
"Dad. It's okay. I'll take good care of Elsa and Merrill. I'll write you a status report once a month."
"Oh. I'm relieved Anna's with me. Please."
I smile.
"In the end...... I couldn't put my sword on your father, could I? Until this year, I've had hundreds of meetings."
Elsa had a regrettable look on her face.
"I was going to work out and get stronger too, but it's not far and far from Father yet. As an adventurer, I will further improve."
"Looking forward to seeing Elsa when she's stronger."
I smiled at Elsa.
Elsa smiled, too, and snorted.
After eating, I took a bath with my daughters.
I usually go in separately, because today is my last day... so my daughters are going to beg me to do a mixed bath.
"Um... Father. Will you let me flush my back?
"Huh? Mine?
"Yes, because my father has taught me the sword so far. I wish I could at least let my back flow in return."
"You don't have to worry about that"
"Can't you?
"No. Well, let me ask you a favor."
I decided to have Elsa flush my back.
A foamed towel washes my back with gossip. It felt very good with just the right amount of force.
"Pfft. Elsa. On my behalf next."
"Anna did?
"Even I want to wash my dad's back."
Anna started rubbing my back when she received the towel from Elsa's hand.
It was polite and labor-like force application.
"Me and you."
When Meryl applied soap to her body, she hugged me directly on my back.
She said, "Let's rub skin and skin together to make it look beautiful ~", but she immediately pulled back on Anna. I wonder.
I was happy to have my beloved daughters flush my back.
- But I hadn't told them the truth yet. It means they're not my real daughters.
I couldn't say it more than once over the last four years.
Because I'm sure you have a burden.
They say my failure to defeat the Enchanted Dragon has led to the death of my daughters' real parents.
I slept in the same futon as my daughters that night.
The next morning. I was coming to drop off my daughters in the Wangdu Living Carriage. I said to my daughters with their faces out of the front.
"All right, guys, watch your bodies."
"- Yes. I will definitely be the same A-rank adventurer as your father."
"Daddy's fine too."
"I'll go home sweet once a week."
The carriage carrying my daughters goes on.
I was waving off a carriage headed for Wang Du. They also kept waving until they were invisible again.
In the last four years...
That's where the story of our parents and children begins.
