102 Long time no parents

"Ha ha, long time no see, Zest! How have you been?"

"Long time no see, adoptive father"

"Father-in-law, it's been a while."

(It's your father's father! Long time no see!)

A week after our marriage to that ponkotsister, we were at the mansion of our adoptive father, Garev, in the Borderland Berg Territory.

I've got a face-to-face meeting with Elf's stupid prince in Imperial City, and I've got a birthday celebration for my foster mother.

"Oh, Miss Beatrice...... no, Beatrice seems to be doing well too. Take care of your belly."

"Thank you, adoptive father"

My adoptive father, my shoulder is kind to Beat for slapping cancer.

Is that discrimination? Is that discrimination?

healing magic on painful shoulders, but getting slapped again

"Just get in the mansion! Talk about it from then on, ha-ha."

I'm gonna go into a mansion I miss with a bang and a shock on my shoulder.

The servants are no longer surprised that the cobblestone at their feet cracks with shock

(Your father is sturdy! It's amazing how hard it is than stone!)

I walked into the mansion stroking my honest toto and climbed into the reception room

Toto is a healing system...... I've been reading air like a politician lately

There was a nostalgic smile in the reception room.

Long time no see...... unexpectedly made me smile too

"Long time no see, Zest. How have you been? Are you sick?

Geez, I can hold you gently

Oh... that's my mother's tender scent... you feel like you're home

So, adoptive father, stop being a killer.

Still, Celica, you're in love with your foster mother.

"Long time no see, adoptive mother. Have you lost a little weight? How are you feeling?

"Hehe, it's okay. I'm a little sleepless, so I don't have an appetite..."

My adoptive mother, who laughs at me for saying that, looks pale.

I let him sit on the couch with therapeutic magic.

"Thank you, Zest. It's easier now."

"Mother-in-law, it's been a while. Please show me your baby later."

(Your father's mother! Long time no see, smells good!)

"Oh, Beat, it's time for your stomach to stand out...... looking forward to it Wow"

The women's corps cackled and the tea party began

I'll see how it goes while you're subtly away.

If you get caught up in something bad, it won't catch your eye.

"Zest, you're staying here today, aren't you? Slow down."

"Thank you, sweet for your words"

Weren't you angry at my stepmother for holding me earlier?

50% more force to bang on the shoulder

"Besides, we need to talk... listen slowly"

I'll tell you that with a serious face, stepfather.

............... After all, it's not going to be just a nightclub

It's been a long time since I've been back with my parents, but they're not just happy to miss it.

When I finished dinner, they called me to my foster father's room.

Beato and Toto are in a friendly chat in their mother-in-law's room.

I'm the only one they call.

I mean, I guess I have something to tell you... something important to tell you.

"My adoptive father, it's Zest. What's the story?

I'm gonna sit across from the couch in my adoptive father's room.

He's an adoptive father with a rare and thought-provoking look...

"Yeah, I know you do, but you don't have to say anything else."

"Yes, my adoptive father."

Drink up a glass of booze at once, the adoptive father tells

"Actually, it's about Celica..."

"My foster mother? What the hell is wrong with you?

"Hmmm... yeah, I haven't been feeling well since I gave birth. Thanks for your help today, Zest. Thank you."

"Please don't thank me for filial piety."

"... right, that's true. So it's Celica..."

That's all I'm saying. I'm stuck with words.

I've been waiting for my foster father to talk.

So hard to say, I guess.

How much time has passed...... my adoptive father finally opens his mouth

"Celica finally...... finally...... now that I can, I'm that zama who made it so hard...... I won't let it happen again! and…………"

……………………

Huh? That's a crazy fight, isn't it?

"He won't even sleep with me these days......... what am I supposed to do!

I look down on my adoptive father, who trembles with a man crying

Don't cry, adoptive father... there will be limits to that.

Are you a freshly remembered young man......

But you know how it feels.

If Beat does...... just imagine it hurts my stomach

"My adoptive father, you've spoken well. As a man, I understand well!

"Zest... will you understand..."

"Whatever. If... if I do that with Beat, one or two of the countries will be attacked and destroyed in eight hits"

"That's my son... and so am I. I feel like going to war right now!

metaphorical expression, is only a metaphorical expression

"Dear adoptive father, why don't you remember the massage? You massage on your adoptive mother to relax your body and mind!

"... Who is Maasa-ji? Can I..."

Yes, massage is not pervasive in this world

That's why it should work.

I held my worried adoptive father's hand and explained

"It's okay. Massage is a technique that gently rubs your body down to make you feel at ease. Practice and anyone can do it!

"I only have practice, or... but I have power for nothing. Whether it can be handled successfully…"

I see, you're aware.

Then give me a break, adoptive father.

No, you're practicing first now... okay

"Albert! Is Albert here?!?

After that, Albert's screams were supposed to last all night.

My adoptive father broke it, and I cure it with therapeutic magic.

In the dawn when the light had gone out of Albert's eyes, a brilliant masseuse had been born

Early in the morning, the high-tension adoptive father stormed into his adoptive mother's room

"... Dear Zest, Was I at your service?

"Um, Albert. Well done...... get some rest"

"... Your will"

Drinking tea while watching Albert burn out in white

Outside the window, it was getting brighter and brighter

... I wonder what I've been up to all night

When I returned to my room wiping my tears, Beato and Toto slept amicably

I went into bed softly so I wouldn't wake you up, and I just took a little nap.

I'm gonna get up around noon and head to the dining room with the two of you waiting for me to wake up in my room.

"Dear Zest, are you okay? It was late yesterday, so I was worried."

(Sleep with me all day!)

"Oh, I'm fine. Thank you, let's get some sleep."

My parents were already waiting for me in the dining room.

It's a glossy twirl...... were you looking forward to it?

If we made up, good, but come on...

Finish your meal with a look away from the two people who flirt with Nico

My adoptive father groaned bossly as I drank tea after the meal

"Oh, speaking of which, the head of the Demon Clan is coming this afternoon."

Hey, I'm gonna go to the convenience store.

I hardened myself to such a Nori word.

……… please tell me sooner than an insane fight

I only have a bad feeling about it.
