"Jin! I... I'm happy for you!
The more drunk Burke turns, banging Jin's shoulder as he moisturizes his eyes.
The day after Jin talked to Ganz, it was about an hour after the launch opened at his home, and he had already told all participants that Jin and the others would leave the city for a while and that when they came back, they would marry Aria, Elsa and Rachel. And that marriage was the reason he showed so much joy.
Burke, Jin's first encounter in this world and the nurturing of friendship, has shallow connections with Aria as a couple.
About five years ago, the Burkes, who were adventurers, cared about something about Aria from the same orphanage and had a pretty close relationship. Heath, who was also Aria's disciple, began to add to the party, and the relationship was getting a little deeper. But the pregnancy of his wife Beth forced them to leave the adventurer for a while, and in the meantime other party members, including Heath, who had partied temporarily, lost their lives during the adventure.
After that, Burke and the others blamed themselves for not being closed, and Aria blamed herself for being at their party in Aria, and they felt guilty about each other, and as a result, they were distant from each other while caring about each other. It was finally resolved about a year ago thanks to the mediation of a common friend named Jin.
"Congratulations really. … Aria, be happy."
Burke's wife Beth also stares at Aria sitting next to her with her moist eyes. The hand was firmly layered on Aria's hand placed on the table.
What floats behind that brain is the appearance of a party member who is no longer there, and of Aria's disciple Heath. If I hadn't gotten pregnant, they wouldn't have died, and I wouldn't have caused Aria a deep wound to her heart. That's what I was thinking. She also suffered a deep wound to her heart, as did Aria. How soothing it was that Jin's appearance improved her relationship with Aria and allowed her to see Aria's smile again, no more than ever. That Aria will now have the happiness of marriage. Moreover, it was a joy because the other person was a friend and a benefactor.
"... Yes!
Aria has become laughable. Even now, she still remembers people who have died in mundane applause. Heath, who was a lovely disciple. And I care about myself, who became an adventurer at the young age of thirteen, and about Gonzo and Haytorid and the others who took care of me somehow. Previously it was only sadness, but now it is possible to mourn the deceased as a gentle memory.
With all the thoughts floating behind her brain, Aria was just responding in one word with a full smile.
There were so many pairs of eyes watching them from a little distance.
"Pfft. I know exactly how Mr. Burke and the others feel.... something emotional for me too"
Samantha, who has worked as a guild receptionist, also knew about the Burkes when she was an adventurer, and Aria and I had the hardest times together. And Aria met with Jin and watched him right around the corner as he changed a little bit.
"Right. Gin's been here about a year and a half? I really didn't expect a day like this..."
Greg also crushes emotionally again. It's been over twenty years since Greg became the head of Lienz's Adventurer Guild. In the meantime, I have seen many of those who die inside me, like Aria. But no one cares more than Aria.
I was originally close to my parents, but there are others if that's about it. But none of them became adventurers at the young age of thirteen, nor did they let their strength blossom early.... and she experienced a second death in her body. Seeing her depressed, she was forced to pull in as an employee of the Adventurer Guild, but even after four years, Aria rarely put a grin on her face. "Ice Witch" - there will be nothing from Aria today that can imagine the origin of that name.
"Really, Jin, I've changed since you arrived. Aria and us."
Melinda stares at Samantha with tender eyes. Samantha's stomach is getting bigger, and there's a child waiting for all of Melinda and her family. I'm not a real child to Melinda, but as far as I felt, it was just like that.
"Aria returns to be an adventurer and starts partying with Jin, and getting married... You did what you said."
To solve the magic fever, when Aria, who was still an Adventurer Alliance employee with the Jins, traveled, Samantha and Melinda told Greg to be so prepared.
"Hmm, I wasn't so confident, unlike my sister, was I? I was just watching Aria at the nearest place, so I knew how Aria felt."
"Oh, I wasn't so confident, either, was I? I guess it just worked. Somehow, Jin, you were willing to accept all three of them."
Samantha had only anticipated Aria's departure, but Melinda also mentioned Elsa and Rachel's future.
Melinda still understandable because she and Elsa had some personal relationships, but had very little contact about Rachel. Moreover, marrying all three would also mean that the D-ranked Jin, who was still anonymous at the time, would show the world the merits of having that many companions. I'd say it's a terrible Melinda's good grasp.
"But you couldn't have expected Jin to take the tow."
"That's right. Besides, Jin, you're only twenty years old, right? Exactly. I was surprised by that."
Without Greg having to tell me, it was totally unexpected to Melinda that Jin brought Touka back from the Wang capital. But normally, based on Jin's daughter, Touka, who could be an obstacle, Aria and the others reaffirmed their feelings, and so their relationship with Jin went a step forward, so they don't know what would be fortunate.
"... but you're just good kids (...)"
You want your own child to be like that, too, Samantha unconsciously puts on her own grown stomach. At the end of her gaze, the children participating in this launch. There was a figure of Towca, Iris, Nils, sitting on the couch chatting, and Sirius looking like a regular puppy.
"Eh heh. Sirius, that's a good one."
Iris strokes Sirius with Nico and a full smile. Only about ten days have passed since the day of the earthquake, but until that time Sirius, who was a small dog, has since grown to medium dog size all at once. Normally, I would question the unusual rate of growth, but Iris just thinks it's awesome, and he hasn't shown any particular care.
Sirius also showed the figure of the Holy Beast around him during the earthquake in the sizes of each large, small and medium-sized, but because of its diversity the figure of the Wolf-shaped Holy Beast differs from person to person, and the common perception is only that of the Wolf-shaped Holy Beast. As a result, although the figure of the towca that was with the Holy Beast remained unchanged, there were not so many who would definitively associate the sirius of tea hair beside it with the Holy Beast.
Nonetheless, few people think otherwise, including those who are certain, and fortunately no one tried to check with Towca until they ignored the city's benefactor Zinn's request, or spread the rumors irresponsibly.
"You're a really cute kid. I've never seen a child so quiet."
And Nils, the sons of Burke and the others, stroking Sirius. Though I am surprised that he has been making a big deal of himself on the side of Towca ever since the launch began, neither does he dream that Sirius is the Holy Beast again.
"Iris is also a good boy. Even though Nils is small, he's smart. You can stroke more."
This satisfying idea of Sirius only sounds like Towca. Sirius, who mastered 'Talking in Mindfulness', began to chat a lot, but the most common of them was still the towca he was often with.
"Ugh. Sirius is my proud brother."
I'm proud of my sister.
Sirius rubs his head against that hand in response to Sirius being praised for his brother and being in a good mood Towka says so and strokes Sirius's head, sweet. The race is different, but the tie was the close sister and brother themselves.
Happy with Sirius once and for all, after a while, Iris' interest now turns to Towca.
"Hey, Towka, hey. It's about being a good guy, isn't it? It's okay."
"Fine. I'm glad I had three mothers, too."
Towka also responds to Iris with a smile. My sister and the three I admired become my mother. That was also what Iris had dreamed of.
"Oh well. Congratulations Jin Ooi, so you're going to be Touka Ooi's old man. Nice. Hey, sweetie."
I've loved Jin since he helped himself who was lost, because for Iris, he was my favorite brother, and the Arias with him are kind to me. I'm sure those sisters would be happy to be my mother, Iris, but I doubt it.
"Your grandmother's going to be in three? Iris is the only one with a grandmother, isn't he?
The only wife of my father, Ort, is my mother, Iris. Since his grandfather, Sirac, is also the only wife, Dana, seems to have wondered at a young age about the situation where his mother and hence his daughter-in-law are the three.
"Hmm. I think you're getting married because your father's three favorite sisters and your sisters like your father, too?
I also understand about polygamy in this world when I'm about the age of a towka, but it would be quick to explain that to a still young towka. It was an easy-to-understand tow, but Iris also seems to think.
"Then Iris will be cool with Jin too! Iris is good, and Iris is good!
That was a common innocent statement for young children, and they wouldn't need to take it seriously. But for some reason, Touka hesitated to affirm honestly.
"... you have to be bigger than I am now to get married, so I guess Iris can do it when she's older ~"
"What, do I have to stay? Then Iris will be sooner or later! You told me that if I tampered with the sauce, I would be able to stay!
"haha"
Towka, who seemed serious about Iris' intentions, deceives him with a bitter laugh. "Hot?" He was also proud of his father's presence, and somewhere Moya Moya Towka.
And such a smiling sight was watched by a lot of people from a little further away.
"Ugh. If you Iris, you really like Mr. Jin"
"As a father, it's a little complicated. I told you I'd marry your father until now..."
A couple of Iris and Ort, who had heard Iris' marriage speech from afar, each have a conversation with a smile and a bitter laugh. It's easy to do with a kid's bullshit and a word, but still, as a parent, it seems like something that feels good and bad and grows.
"Waha. If Jin has four daughters-in-law, she can't complain. Looking forward to the future."
Of course I don't mean it, but Gantz sitting next to Ort makes fun of Ort.
"No, no, Mr. Gantz. No matter how much Jin, our daughter won't be able to do it so easily."
For once it was an ortho to give back with the intention of joking, but from the side it doesn't look like he's 100% joking. The surroundings are invited to laugh at its hidden authenticity.
"Haha. Iris would be happy to welcome you to his company, wouldn't he? Hey, Rachel?
"Yes, because Iris is like a pretty little sister to us."
First Elsa and Rachel tease the ortho with tea glare. Needless to say, it's 100% meant to be a joke to them.
"Oh, I'm glad to hear that. And thank you for Iris."
And Iris rides the joke. At the same time as it ended, Couscous and an irrepressible laugh leaked.
"... erm. Well, you're not serious, are you?
Even if I knew it was a joke, is it proof that Orto hasn't been able to leave his daughter?
"" "hahahahahahaha" "
Couscous laughter was quickly turning into a blast.
"Haha.... How can a man parent be like this? When we had someone nice for our daughter, it was similar."
Elsa's aunt, Seema, opens her mouth with a laughing aftertaste. Her husband, a bowman, was not very sociable, and this invitation to something with whom Jin and the others knew each other, had declined.
"Waha. Non has never had a daughter, so I don't know how she feels. No, I'm glad he's my son."
Gantz strikes the chase, but here the hand of salvation is finally offered to Ort.
"Pfft. I had a daughter, so I know exactly how Olt feels."
"Mr. Clark!
With Clark's loving smile, Ort feels the healing of God. Gin is not the problem for Ort. I just hate to imagine when my still young, sweet daughter leaves me.
He was an ortho to the finally gained understander, but he can keep up with reality in the next word.
"Well, my daughter is married for a long time, and this is how my pretty granddaughter gets married. Sooner or later, a child will be traveling."
"Indeed."
"It has to be."
"Haha. It certainly was."
Gantz and Seema, and Bean, who agree immediately with Clark's words telling them so. It's just that Bean had a daughter, so I guess you know how Olt feels. He was pointing his gaze at Orto, who seemed just a little sorry.
"I guess that's not..."
This contrasts with an ortho who drops a gagged shoulder to the common opinion of an experienced person whose child is already nestled, and an illustrious figure who smiles calmly.
Couscous and laughter spill again, but the gaze directed at such an ortho was gentle as if looking at something smiling.
(How's your father?
Many of the women missed the appearance of their own fathers, each far away through the ortho.
"That's a lot of excitement"
"What the fuck? Sounds like fun."
Then he is invited to the atmosphere of a peaceful place, where the Jin and Greg, who were away and conversing, rendezvous. Greg still doesn't know if the child to be born is a man or a woman, but Ginn, who has a daughter named Towka, is an ortho. … At the same time, at this stage, it is also the object of Ort's jealousy.
"Jin Sa ~"
Once again, a burst of laughter struck the figure of Orto, who called his name resentfully.
... all the men who love their daughters. Blessed are their parents.
