I see you're still here. ...... I'm too happy for words.

Oh well. ......

　The three of them landed in front of an incredibly huge castle.
　I'm not sure what to say, but I'm sure you'll understand.
　A castle as huge as this one - it's hard to even compare it to the ones in the human world.

　He had imagined them living quietly deep in the mountains, and he couldn't keep his eyes off them.

　And so it is with Dorothy.
　She has to look up so far that her neck hurts to catch the whole picture of the castle.
　The weight of the castle alone is enough to crush her right now.

I'm back!

　I'm back!" Without paying attention to Richt and Dorothy, Rose opened the door as if she was biting it.
　I've been away for a hundred years, and I don't want to disturb you, but I still want to be prepared.

　After taking a deep breath.
　They hurriedly followed behind Rosé.

"Lo, Miss Rose!

"Oh my god!　Miss Roze is back!

　From beyond the door, the confused voices of the maids can be heard.
　It's not just one or two people.
　Dozens of maids were confused by Rose's return.

"Richt, could it be ......?

Oh, .......

　You can imagine the scale of this castle just from the information coming in.
　Even if they had set the castle on fire, it would not have caused this much of a stir.
　The news that Roze had returned home was circulating through the castle at the speed of sound.

"Miss Roze, ...... you're safe, aren't you ......?

Yes, I am. I'm sorry for making you worry. I'd like to see your mother and father.

Of course, of course!　This way, please!

　The maid led the three of them to the back.
　The maids led the three of them to the back of the room, where all the maids they passed were expressing their joy.
　Some of them were even shedding tears of joy.

"Hey, don't you think we're out of place ......?

　Licht and Dorothy communicate in a voice that no one can hear.

　Licht is wearing a very rough outfit, while Dorothy is wearing a witch-like hat.
　Their outfits were completely out of place in this castle.

It's times like this when you need to strut your stuff. If you're confused, people will think you're a hick.

You're a country bumpkin. ......

　However, Richt's pride would not allow him to be weak.
　This useless pride has brought Dorothy into the picture, creating a pair of unnaturally strong backs.
　It's like a military march.

"Mr. Richt, ......?　Can I help you?

"No, it's nothing. It's really nothing.

Yes, .......


Miss Roze. This way, please.

　The three of us were brought to a huge door.
　It seems that Rose's parents are behind this door.
　The maid knocked and put her hand on the door, and for some reason Richt was more nervous.


"Roze!　You're safe!

　There were two vampires who were happy to see Rosé home.

　The one who seemed to be the father wore a long beard, a pair of glasses, and a silk hat, and was dressed in a dignified manner.
　His height of no less than two meters further accentuated the atmosphere.
　It seems that Licht would be easily twisted and crushed.

"Oh, ......!　My mother is happy!

　The one who seems to be my mother is also wearing a dress that exposes her shoulders, giving off a mature atmosphere.
　Her light purple hair, exactly the same as Rose's, seems to indicate her dignified core strength.
　If Rose grows up like this, will she become as beautiful as her mother?
　I can't help but think about such things.

"Father!　Mother!

　When did you...
　Before I knew it, Rose, who was supposed to be next to Richt, was running towards them as if she had been sucked in.
　She jumped into her mother's chest with Bofuri.
　The warmth that enveloped her dominated her mind.

"Roze......, I never thought you'd come back.......

"Mother ......

We're having a feast tonight. We're going to have a feast tonight. We're going to have everything that Rose liked.

Thank you, Father ......!

　Richt continues to watch silently as the three of them interact.
　It's absolutely inviolable - a realm that must not be disturbed, so to speak.
　Even Dorothy understood that much common sense.

　When she saw Rosé's flowery smile, she even felt envious.



By the way, Rosé. Are those two gentlemen here to see you?

Oh!　They're my friends. They're my friends!

"Ro, Roze has friends at ......!　What a lucky mother ...... to be able to see her daughter grow up ......!

"You've grown a lot while I wasn't looking. You're doing great, Rose.

Hehehe!

　That conversation.
　Richt felt a tingle of discomfort.
　His father and mother were unusually happy - no less than if they had brought a marriage partner.
　His mother was covering her eyes with a handkerchief she had taken out from somewhere.

　It was somewhat unnatural, considering it had been a hundred years.

I've been very good to both of you. Can I welcome you?

Of course. Rosé's friends are like family to me.

In that case, I'd better say hello to them too.

　At this point, a suspicion arose in Richt and Dorothy's minds.

　These parents.
　They must be extremely stupid parents.
