It's been roughly a week since the day I rebuilt Serena.

　In fact, I've been training at a place since then.
　I was told to take a break or something.
　It's a long story, but I'll tell you about the training.

　And my mom and dad are arriving today.
　Your brother and sisters arrived a few days ago.

　They're from a wizarding school in the college town west of the Forster estate.
　The time difference between us is due to the size of the Forster Family Domain and the fact that our father's house is in the far east for the Demon Forest Watch.

　My sister came back soon since she usually lives in the dormitory of the primary school in the imperial capital where I will be attending next year.

　So now my first brother and sister and I are alone in one room.
　In the awkwardness, I thought no one would talk, but surprisingly, everyone started talking.

"First of all, Leo... "First of all, Leo...
　It was my brother Alex who spoke up first.

"Leo, can you come cry to me?
　Then she spread her arms around me and said to me.

"I'm okay now,

Well, Leo's grown up a lot.
　Finally, there was Brother Ivan.

'Really . Helena lived with us when she was little, but she and Leo only had the chance to spend a little time together.

I still have the same image of Leo as I did on my first birthday.

I feel like it too. But Leo's starting school too, right?

Time flies. I'll be graduating in two years.

So you're going to help your father with the estate.

No, I'm not cut out to run a fiefdom, so you do it.

No problem, but then what are you going to do after you graduate?

I want to work for my uncle.

Are you going to be a special forces officer under the Emperor?

Yes.
　Oh, so you want to join the Special Forces.

'But .... As I recall, you have to be in the top ten when you graduate to take the enlistment test, right?
　Huh? That's a very elite group!
　How smart is your brother Ivan?

Don't worry. I'm always at the top of my class.
　Heh~ My brother looks like a brainiac on the outside, so I'm surprised.

That's true. It's in your nature to forget.

'You're a terrible thing to say: ..... You're always at the top.
　Heh, but I guess it's to be expected that your brother Alex is a good student.

No, not really. Anyway, Helena said she's going to start taking S classes this year, are you worried about her grades?

Oh, now we're getting off topic.

'It's great that you're in S class, but it's a pain in the ass because all the kids around you have bad personalities.

'Most of those people usually fail after they get in, even if they're accepted into a magic school~'

''That's right . Most of those bad character aristocrat kids are easily overtaken by commoners who have worked hard to get into the school in general, and then they lose their motivation.

Heh.
　What a great convincing thing to do: .....

　Gacha.
Guys, Diorcs have arrived. Go to the front door and greet them.

「「「「 yes 」」」」
　We all head to the front door.

　When I got to the door, my mom and dad were already there.
"Hey, Ivan, Alex, Helena, Leo, good to see you.

Mom, it's been a long time.
　And brother Alex.
We met about three months ago.
　And brother Ivan.
Hi, Mom. Long time no see.
　and his sister
Mom, it's been a long time.
　and me

Yeah, it's good to see you all looking so good.

Oh, good.
　My dad looks at me and says.

Leo's going to be okay. Damien made me feel better.
　Grandma will tell Dad that.
　I think he was worried about me.

I'll thank Damien later.

You should. When I heard Leo never came out of his room, I was worried.

I'm sorry I was so worried about you.


　I apologized.

"Okay.
　Then she patted me on the head.

"So, can I go see my dad now?

Yeah, come on.
　Grandma will show you to your grandfather.

Oh, he's really dead.
　Dad looked at Grandpa and said sadly.

　Grandpa is now being put on ice by his grandma's magic.
　So I couldn't touch him directly, but I walked up to him and talked to him.

"Good job, Dad. And thank you for taking care of Leo.
　When he said that, he left the room, holding his eyes: .....


　And the next day.
　I'm at my grandfather's funeral today.

　Only the nobility and royalty of the Empire attend the funeral.

　People from other countries, such as saints, will not be able to make it to the funeral, so each one of them will go to visit the grave and greet their grandmother and the emperor.

　It's noon and the funeral ceremony has begun.

　The ceremony is being held in the square of the imperial capital.
　The sun is shining very brightly and it's very hot today. ....

　In the midst of all this, the emperor began to speak.
"Everyone dies one day.
　Everyone dies....even the most powerful man in the world is no exception.

　But when the time comes, I find myself unable to believe it.
　Kent Forster was the apple of this country's eye, this world's eye.

　About forty years ago, the world was filled with fear when the demon king suddenly declared war on the nations of the human world and invaded.
　But the brave man challenged the demon king with saints and mages even though it was not his world.

　And after she moved from the filthy kingdom to our empire, she married a mage and built a safe haven in the east where the empire had suffered so far until she retired.

　On top of that, she and her grandson had finally broken through the most difficult underground dungeon.

　Such a wonderful man has departed, and I know there are others in here who are worried about their future.

　Certainly, we've lost a great man.
　But I don't think we need to worry about the future.
　Because the next generation is well on its way.

　You all know that Damien Forster is the man who crushed the tower dungeons.
　And Leonce Forster is an eight-year-old dungeon treader who has worked with the heroes in this underground dungeon.

　Doesn't that make you feel like you have nothing to worry about?
　So I hope you continue to be a safe and vibrant imperial citizen!

　Now that's all I have to say.

　When the emperor's speech was over, everyone in the hall stood up and clapped.

　Then, after the ceremony was over, Grandpa was placed in a magnificent tomb built on the castle grounds.

　Then they set up a big statue of his grandfather in the big square of the imperial city.
　The statue was a statue of his grandfather when he was young, and his grandmother had made it with magic.
　Grandpa was in a low posture with his hand on his sword, a cool pose as if he was about to attack his enemies.

　And so the funeral was over...
