Even now, sometimes, I dream about the sights of that time.
Using a sword, Kensei, and me when I was seventeen years old, who, using magic, was dubbed a wise man. He was definitely seen to be the youngest S-rank adventurer of all time.
The pride became a vendetta.
Even though I was partying as an adventurer, I went on a Wyburn crusade on my own because my people couldn't get out.
I thought I was enough.
As a result, we were able to discuss Wyburn, but the prolonged battle woke up the enchanted dragon sleeping deep in the volcano.
The Enchanted Dragon, which leaked at the end of a death battle that lasted a whole day, burned down the village at its foot by fire.
The village, which was lush, turned into just a black mass.
Flames that burn at the expense of the remains of houses and human beings. The smell of the dead about to bend my nose. The sight of everything ravaged is still like hell.
He is struck by his helplessness and enters the scene. What came to my ear, almost swallowed by despair, was a mixed or thin cry in the flames that exploded.
When I relied on that voice to get rid of the overlapping debris, the three babies were shrinking and crying as they leaned against the gap.
Oh, good. Were they alive?
Bring them to their chests to grasp the thread of hope draped in hell.
Only these kids make up their minds to definitely defend themselves.
It was then.
A big shadow fell to cover me.
Looking back, there was an enchanted dragon sitting there that was supposed to have left.
"They were inherently - those who should not have been born"
Crouched voices that offend those who listen.
'Sooner or later, you'll know if you don't want to. As long as you keep living in this world. I don't think they'll have peace. "
It was when he finished saying that. I noticed something strange.
Three babies held over the chest. I cried desperately until just now, and now it's quiet as if I hit the water.
Driven by anxiety and looking down at his fearful chest, his bloody light peachy skin had carburized and turned into an unspeakable wreck for all three.
Three vain orbits stare at me in unison. Darkness's concentrated eyes are as if to blame for my powerlessness.
They said in a caged tone of resentment.
"'If it wasn't for my dad, I wouldn't have had to be like this. I could have lived happily ever after with my real mom and dad...' '
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!?
When I jumped up screaming, it wasn't a hell of a village there. The morning light slipping through the window is pouring over the duvet.
It doesn't resemble a dead odor, a fragrant smell fills the nostrils.
When I saw her, my second daughter, Anna, stood in the kitchen with a chestnut sauce dripping from her shoulder. I am stirring around the contents of the pan with the balls in my hand.
"Oh. Dad, you're up."
Anna in an apron looked back and said, looking at me.
"Anna......"
"That's unusual. I can't believe my dad's sleeping."
When I looked at the clock hung on the wall, it was already around seven o'clock.
Normally, even on holidays, when you are awake. Even more so on weekdays. I think I've slept through a lot.
"I'm sorry. Let me make you some breakfast."
"My dad always makes it for me. Sometimes."
When Anna says so, she mouths a soup dull on her balls. Mm, yummy, I nodded with a satisfied look on my face.
"Father. Are you okay? It seemed like a long time ago."
On the pillow was Elsa, my oldest daughter, staring at me with a worrying face. Being the Knight Commander of this King's Capital, she is already dressed in silver armor.
I guess it's after I finish my morning workout and take a shower. I smell shampoo from my hair. I felt a little lighter when I was sinking.
"Oh. I was having a bad dream."
"Is it a bad dream?
"It's an old memory."
"I'm sure I was tired. Father's been working a lot lately."
"Activities as an adventurer to Knights instructors, Princess tutor to a part-time lecturer at the School of Magic. No matter how much Dad hangs up four jobs, he won't be able to make it."
and Anna smiles bitterly.
"Sometimes you have to take a break and slow down, don't you?
"I thought you were still young, but you mean I'm old, too," he murmured.
When I say so, I feel the weight of the years all at once on my body.
"Speaking of which, what about Meryl? I can't seem to see him. You went to school first?
"I hope so," Anna flaunted her shoulder as she shrugged. "Even if my dad sleeps, he'll go under it again."
"Father, Meryl is diving into your father's bunk."
Elsa's pointing tip - I rolled up the futon I was sleeping in, where Merrill, who looked cluttered, stood up easily as she circled herself.
A slippery body with no spots. There was a stripped pyjama beside it.
"... Meryl. Why are you naked?
"This one calms down better when you go to bed. And it's hot."
"... you know. She's my daughter about the age. Shouldn't we be more discreet? I'm worried about Meryl's future."
"Daiji-bu. I'll be with my dad in the future."
"I'm saying that's what worries me. It's bad that you can't leave your parents forever. You're gonna have to be independent someday, aren't you?
"Then you just have to let me and my dad get married. Safe because that would make you husband and daughter-in-law, not parent and child!
"No, getting married with parents and kids is so much worse!
"Heh heh. My dad and I aren't connected to blood. No problem getting married or having kids!
…………
Yes -.
Me and my three daughters have no blood connection. He's my in-laws.
When they find out about it, they may be shocked - and I've been hiding it all along, it's finally been decided to reveal it. Meryl seemed to see it as a rather opportune opportunity to have no blood ties.
"Yes, sir. Don't be silly. Now that you have breakfast, wake up. If we keep this up, we're gonna be late for magic school, right?
Encourage Meryl to do so as Anna puts her hand on her hips.
And get dressed quickly.
"Huh..."
Meryl woke up reluctantly.
When we surrounded the same table, I pounded my tongue at Anna's breakfast. I say thank you and tease you when you join hands.
"What do you say?"
"Yeah. Delicious. Anna, you've improved a lot."
"Hehe. Thanks. Not for my dad yet."
"Anna. Can I have a replacement?
"Yeah. Because there's more. Don't hesitate to eat it. Especially Elsa, because you are the body of capital."
"Thank you"
"Hey. Paper. ♪ Ahem ♪"
"Dude. I can't help it..."
"If I already daddy. It's sweet on Merrill."
"Eh heh. I don't have a choice. My dad loves me. I just love my dad."
"... mmm. Meryl's sweet and good I have to apprentice, too. But such a weak imitation..."
"That's what I love about Merrill," he said. "I love Elsa and Anna just as much."
"Hey, what? All of a sudden when I was a dad. Surprised."
"You wouldn't tell them what you thought unless you said it, would you?
The morning time spent with my beloved daughters was bliss itself.
That's why I have to protect this happiness. Stand up for this and let them try to get rid of the crisis trying to get down on them.
I was thinking about that, eating Anna's hand cooking.
