─ ─ Former Villain Warden, returning home

We are here again in the Prussian Empire, even in the Romaruan pope. Almost three months after leaving the Prussian Empire. It's been a long time since I've been home.

Exactly. No one will remember me as a lost-magic user anymore. Maybe.

"You're back often, Astrid!

I should have put my face on the Brownschweik family I was supposed to be married to, but my fathers said something about it, so I came back to the Oldenburg family. They're inviting the Brownschweiks to the Mansion so they won't be rude.

"It's just now, Father. And what about your child...?

"Don't you understand? Well, you were just a little boy when you ran away."

There's a little boy in front of me. Redhead, familiar face......

"Are you kidding me, my brother!?

"That's right. It's Erich. He grew up and grew up while you were busy in school."

I knew your mother gave birth, but I can't believe she's so big already.

This brother's name is Erich Fritz von Oldenburg. It's a healthy boy your mother gave birth to when I was in high school.

Your father gave up the redhead charming! That's my brother!

"Ha. When I saw it before, it was small enough to ride flat in my hand, but it grew completely."

"You can't be that small. It's not a kitten."

It was really small when I was just born.

"Mom."

That's what my brother, Erich, told me, he crawled and went to his mother and hid behind her. Why not?

"Erich can't tell people apart anymore. They think you're a stranger because you rarely show up. You deserve it."

"Yep! Oh no! I want to adore Erich too!

I am shocked when your father tells me.

"There you go. It's your sister. I'm not scared. Laugh and laugh."

"Wow!

Erich cried as I crammed into Erich. When she looked at me, she cried again.

Hiya.

"Ugh. I have a brother and he doesn't miss me…………………"

"Look. This is what happens because you're not home properly. We'll come witches, you'll use weird magic, you'll run weird again, but I don't know what, I'll protect you, right?

"Your father sees the witch too sweetly. That witch broke into His Highness Friedrich's wedding and nearly killed His Highness Elsa!

Yes, it is. I appreciate your father's feelings, but Mr. Seraphine is disastrous as a matter of reality. Using a mercenary regiment or something is unlikely to win, and bad luck could harm your father, mother, and cute Erich.

That is undesirable.

That is why I went on a journey. Don't let anyone close to you get hurt.

"That's right...... But if you're ready, what can you do? And now you're back."

"There was a truce with the witch. Well, until I give birth."

"Birth!?

Father, I'm too surprised.

"Or is your body okay? You use Blood Magic a lot, but does that affect you? You wouldn't be chilling your stomach when you go to bed, would you? You wouldn't even be eating weird stuff, would you?

"Father……. I'm not a baby, am I?

"You have a more dangerous place than a baby."

Isn't that a little too harsh, that assessment? Below the baby.

"Anyway, if you're pregnant, stay at home. I'm keeping it safe until I get pregnant."

"Yeah. Father, for once I will be the righteous daughter of the Brownschweik family?

"You can see your first grandson. Can you say that?"

No, I don't think I can tell you. I'm Astrid Zophy von Braunschweik now, aren't I? Isn't Iris' father and mother angry?

"You don't mind, do you, Diethardt?

"I don't care, Paul. But you're gonna be my grandson, too. Let me see your face."

Well, Bernhardt is a suddenly decided adopted son, and as Duke of Brownschweik, he probably doesn't care if he leaves it to us. However, as far as I am concerned, I would like to show my brother-in-law to His Excellency the Duke of Brownschweik.

"Wouldn't it really bother you, Lord Duke of Brownschweik"

"I don't care. You are already our righteous daughter. [M] Call me Diethardt. It would be too distant for His Excellency the Duke of Brownschweik, wouldn't it?

"Yep. Well, please, Dear Diethardt."

Because I've been calling you Lord Duke of Brownschweik for so long, I'm slightly hesitant when you suddenly ask me to call you by name. Because it still feels like a very high place for me.

"But Bernhardt, you don't look too good. You're fast."

"Not at all. I just finished my honeymoon."

Diethardt and his father told him that, but he gave him an awkward look. Well, I can't tell you anything because it was me who invited you.

"Well, isn't that good? You want to see your first grandson's face fast, don't you?

"So is that. I'd rather have a child right away than not have one forever. The child was born young and she said she was fine. You'll be able to live with childbirth already. They say it's hard to give birth, but you have to work hard."

That's what your mother tells you as she gives up Erich, and that's what your father keeps doing.

"It's okay! I'm fine with births and stuff!

It is me who can afford to be here and later suffer terrible consequences.

"But I haven't been back in a long time. There will be stories to accumulate, and we must make this evening extravagant. Astrid would also need nutrition and strength because of her pregnancy. I guess you haven't eaten much good on your journey so far, have you?

"Well, when you couldn't stay in an urban area…………"

With my savings, it's hard to say I've been pretty extravagant.

"Sister. Congratulations on your pregnancy. Your sister's kids must be adorable."

"Thank you, Illis. Maybe Illis will be like me in four years, too, huh?

"You still can't imagine..."

If the Brownschweik family had come, naturally Illis would be here as well. Ilis looked at my stomach and smiled at me with a nickel.

"Illis may not be able to stand the birth unless she keeps her strength up now, either. Eat well, move well, and sleep well. And show me your lovely Ilis and Werner."

"Yes, sister. As a matter of fact, I have been climbing the mountain recently recommended by my sister. They're climbing mountains of territory."

Ooh. Iris took my advice......

Speaking of which, it's only heartbreaking. Thin hands and feet (* subjective), but I feel like I'm putting meat on it. Your sister has an expensive nose for Iris to be a beautiful, healthy girl.

"It's been a while, Mr. Iris!

"Wow! Fairy! Come on, say hello to Yurica, too."

As Blau comes out of my chest pocket and tells me, Illis slaps me in the chest pocket.

"Yeah? Oh, it's been a while, Blau! How have you been?

"The master struggles because the fairies are rough."

Hey. What a rough fairy user. I thought you were just asking me to turn off the sound.

"How's the master over there?

"Huh. You're a proud master. I climb mountains with Yurika, and I'm familiar with nature. At that time, I was in charge of hydrating Yurika so that she wouldn't grow old again."

"Wow. Awesome!"

Maybe neither Yurika nor Blau know what heat stroke is, this.

"How have you been with you lately, Werner?

That's what I ask when the brows blossom into the conversation.

"Master Werner is kind. Actually, I was supposed to be the director of the theatre department, but Mr. Werner had a lot of help. Thank you very much for your help. And lately, I've been accompanied on a lot of my climbs."

Ooh. Doesn't that sound good, Mr. Iris and Mr. Werner?

I hope we get along at that rate and when we get married we'll be blessed around and have a happy marriage everywhere! Your sister always wishes Illis happiness!

"Come on, dinner looks like a treat this evening, so take your time and blossom into the story!

"Yes, sister!

Although it was a wedding with Illis, he became the director of the theatre department at some point, and he was put aside. I'm sure Illis has other topics that surprise me. I have a lot to talk about, too. What happened on our honeymoon and adventurers' lives in exotic lands!

"Speaking of which, Dietrich, what are you like......?

What I care about is whether you can recover from your broken heart. [M] I feel a little responsible for waving him.

"Are you Dear Dietrich? These days, they've been putting their sperm to practice in the archery department. Then you think you're in a friendship with the eldest daughter of the Count Stauffenberg family in the first year of middle school? I just heard about the roundtable rumors..."

Good. Dietrich, you're working hard to find a new love, too.

I wondered what I would do if he couldn't recover from his broken heart.

"Let me hear more about that later, too. 'Cause I'm gonna take a look around my nostalgic home."

"Yes, sister. I'll see you at dinner."

This is my home I came back from. I haven't had to look around in a while.

"Ah. The ceiling here in the crossing still remains burnt. Father, haven't you noticed?

"What is it? Did you do something?

"I was the first to use magic here. At that time, the magic was out of control, and haunted water balls and haunted fireballs appeared, and it was hard."

"Has that been the case for a long time……………"

I miss you... Dr. Wolf taught you about magic here, didn't he?

Now that you've become a professor, you won't be able to ask for it, but when our child is born, let's hire a witchcraft tutor to teach us about witchcraft. Because when I teach it, it's biased knowledge.

Bernhardt, this is my room.

"Hmm. You're prettier than I imagined."

"What does Bernhardt think of me?

Say Father, Bernhardt! I'm decent!

"There's a hidden storage bin here, hiding toys and savings that I don't want to mess with."

"Ah. I used to be a magician to help my parents in secret. Now that huge amount of savings goes to the banks of the Helvetian Republic, huh? The first step is important."

"That's right, I see. The first step is important."

In this mansion I took the first step. He took the first step by learning magic, hiding his savings, and building firearms.

"…… Shall I show you my home now? Unlike here, it's a small mansion."

"I'm interested, definitely!

And I also took the first step in love, goaling in.
