Welcome back.

Huh?

I heard Ginar-san's voice from the doorway, so I put my face out of the cooking area.

You said you'd be back tomorrow, but are you done with your errands?

"Ginar-san, welcome home." Would you like to have dinner? "

Now I'm cooking meat for dinner while cooking a meal to take on a journey.

"Roast Beef", it seems, has been made many times by me in my previous life.

It seems that it is quite difficult to calm down, and I have the memory of repeated failures.

I still wanted to make it.

If it fails, I plan to cut it into bite-size pieces and bake it to taste and deceive.

"Thank you. I'll take two."

For two?

Looking closely, there was another man besides Mr. Ginar at the door.

Eh!

Oh, I didn't see any signs.

I'm sure Mr. Ginar will be fine if he brings you in.

Speaking of which, you said you had a buddy you wanted to introduce.

Is that who he is?

Oh, Sora and the others were playing in the room eating dinner.

What do we do?

"Ginar-san, the usual room is a bit..."

"Ivy, I'm coming."

My father, who was taking in the laundry outside, slapped me on the shoulder in a hurry and headed for the front door.

Looks like he's still in the front door, so he'll be fine.

Huh?

Oh, my flesh is scorching!

"Great, I'm fine."

Grill the whole thing over high heat...

Dot-dot-dot-dot-dot.

Hmm?

I turned my attention to the sound of footsteps running down the hallway, worrying about the meat.

Ivy!

Father comes into the cooking hall.

I'm surprised that the footsteps are your father.

Is there something wrong?

What's the matter?

I knew something had happened.

She looks pretty impatient or in a state of distress.

"... no, it's August."

Huh?

August?

That's right.

What now?

It's August, so what's the matter?

"Father, are you okay?"

Your father's troubled expression is becoming more and more scary.

In amazement, turn the meat over.

After a little more baking, you wrap it in paper and cloth to keep it warm and wait for the fire to cool down.

Wow, I wonder if it will succeed.

Haha

Huh?

I turned to my father's sigh and sat in a chair on the kitchen counter.

Are you depressed?

What the hell is going on with your dad?

Is this...... Ginar-san?

Or is it the man Mr. Ginal brought with him?

Did you know each other?

But even if I knew you, why would your dad be depressed?

Wow, that's a lot of bread.

When I turned to my voice, there was a figure of a man brought in by Mr. Ginaru and Mr. Ginaru who had entered the cooking area.

At the end of Mr. Ginar's gaze, a large amount of cooking bread was stacked on the desk.

Did you build it a little too much?

"But more than that..."

"Ginaru-san, um..."

I'm worried about Ginar-san's arm.

Because there was a Flem in his arm.

And for some reason, Sora was on top of the man's head... "

"Ivy, this is Uluru. Call me Ull.And I have a contract, so you don't have to worry about it. ”

Agreement.

There's more of them without knowing.

Got it.

I think it is necessary because it is about Ginar-san.

But what about Sora?

Looking at the man named Uru-san, he looks a little nervous and cares about the top of his head.

I'm sure you're worried about dropping it.

... can I say hello in this state?

Nice to meet you, Ivy.

"Oh, my name is Urual."As Ginar said, it's ok with Ur.Well, it's the child above your head, but isn't it going to fall? Are you okay? "

Uru-san's hand wanders around her head.

"If Sora was about to fall, maybe she was trying to help..."

Sora is either stable or relaxed.

“It's okay, it's stable.If it falls, there's no problem. "

It didn't matter how many times it fell over my father's head.

I'm sure he'll be fine.

"No, it's a little pathetic to drop it."

I'm glad you think so.

Look at Sora.

... is it cozy or is it sleeping?

I'm picking up Sora, so could you hold your head down for a moment?

"Thank you."

Mr. Uru broke his knee and reached out to Sora.

I gently hugged him, and he glanced at me and yawned.

"Yawning... it's a unique slime."

Ahahah.

I think so too.

Once again, thank you.

Yes, thank you very much.

That means, will we act together to some extent from now on?

Or did you ask your father for something?

When I saw your father, he was depressed, but he seemed to be back.

"Ivy, Ull is going to live here with you from today.And you can rest assured that the contract is firmly in place. "

“Okay. Is there anything that Mr. Uru can't eat?”

I might cum at dinner.

"No, there's no problem." Nevertheless, that bread is unusual. "

Uru-san's gaze was preceded by a pile of cooking bread.

Today, I tried baking it with various ingredients on top of the bread dough.

It's mainly meat that tastes like your father's wish.

Would you like to eat it? It's just a little bit too much.

We still have time for dinner.

If I am hungry, I will have no problem if I have about 2 pcs each.

"Is that okay? It was hard to cook this much, wasn't it?"

Look at Mr. Ull.

Looks like I'm looking at the bread, but I'm looking at the door, the window, the knife.

Yep.

He's definitely one of Ginnar's guys.

“It's okay, I enjoy making bread.”

Is that so?

Yes.

When I looked at Mr. Ull, my gaze shifted a bit.

I leaned my neck against it.

"Ivy, don't leave your laundry in the room."

In the meantime, my dad, who was returning to the laundry intake, comes into the cooking area with a basket containing his laundry.

"Thank you."

Father glanced at Mr. Zinal and Mr. Uru and left the cooking area.

That Druid, right?

Huh?

Looking at Uru-san's voice, he looked at the door that his father had left with a slightly puzzled expression.

Is this reaction still an acquaintance?

In that case, the reaction is a little strange.

"Is something wrong with your father?"

"Huh? No, he's always like that?"

What do you mean, like that?

"Well, that's kind of sweet."

I can help you with everything so you can focus on cooking.

Is the concealed ball gentle?

Huh?

... oh, I see!

Because I know my father's past, I may feel uncomfortable with him now.

"Do you know your old father?"

“Yes, that's why I looked at Druid and thought he was someone else's idiot or brother.”

That far?

Ah ~, but I've been told something similar.

“It's real. It's a real all-town Druid.”

You're nodding to my words, Mr. Ur.

But I still haven't convinced myself.

"Puu. Kukuku"

I sigh at Mr. Ginar's laughter.

Didn't you explain something unusual?

When I told him to tease him, he shook his head to the side.

Did you say that?

"Didn't I tell you that Ivy was a good father?"But from the reaction, I didn't think I would believe it if I didn't see it with my own eyes, so I just didn't tell you the details. ”

Then I guess I can't help it.

Even so, is it so different that it's so confusing?

I only know my father now.
