The village of Lax.
　My second home.

　The two strongest people in the world were gathered there.


The treasure. This is the world's greatest treasure.

　And he is completely absorbed in Granddad, our Junior.

　Granbaza-sama, the former Four Heavenly Kings of "The Fire of Mine" and him.
　And Arantzill, the former hero.

　They fought fierce battles many times in the past, and were called rivals of fate.
　I'm not going to leave my breath, which is napping in my crib.

''Grandson........this is my grandson.......!　How precious and sacred you are...?
I never thought I'd be called 'Grandpa' one day.　I know...　Now I know.　Every man lives to be a great grandfather........

　.........
　.........well.

　If there's peace, that's the best thing.

　After all, we are two sworn enemies by nature.
　A rare example of two people who spent most of their lives trying to destroy each other and continued to fight until they finally both retired without being destroyed.
　The hatred for them also piled up, and even now, when they meet, they have no choice but to kill each other.

　Such two people who are in a sense too special, but such a long-standing hatred between them....


''Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright........!

　It didn't matter in front of my baby.
　The cuteness of a newborn baby.


Oh?　What is it?
'Aren't you too familiar with my grandson?　You're a demon, aren't you?
What do you mean? This is Dariel's son. This is Dariel's son, whom I brought up with great care. And so is my grandson!
"Nonsense, you demon!　You ready?　Dariel is human, and his son Gran is human too!　You, demon, have no place in this fight!　Me too!　I'm related to Dariel by blood, I'm the true granddaddy of Gran!
''Sometimes the bond of the heart goes beyond blood!　Tell me the name of this girl!　It's Gram!　Don't tell me you don't know what it's derived from!
"Gunnuuh?
My first born son is not worthy of being named after me.　I feel absolute respect for you...!　Dariel is truly a filial guy...!
"Ugh, if you've just been born, there's still room to change your name...!　Hey, Dariel!　This here, here, change your name to Alan, not Gran, and...?

　Annoying.
　My child is taking a nap, so don't argue with him by his bedside.

　And, well, two old men like this, snuggled up to the newborn baby and refused to leave.
　It's good that they don't bother each other to the extent that they don't kill each other terribly on a level that involves everyone around them.......?

''Gah!　I'm Gran's grandfather!　It's a direct descendant!
She was named after me!　I'm the one who deserves to be a grandfather!

　So don't argue by the crib.
　Gran will wake up from his nap, won't he?

　As expected, he proceeded to pay attention, but before he could, Trey fell vertically into the brains of the two heroes.
　Gong, gong, and........!

''Gueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! ''Abeji!
''Please don't make a noise while my child is napping.......!

　It was Malika who brought down the tray.
　My wife. She is undaunted by the two heroes who represent the human and the demon race, respectively.

"A baby's nap is the most important time for him to grow up. If you interfere with that, you'll have to leave the room.
'Excuse me!　I'm sorry...!
'No more fights!　I'll keep quiet, so please don't let me get banned...!

　My wife is indeed strong...!
　The strongest hero and the four heavenly kings of all time are bowing down.......?

　After being lectured by Malika, she left her son Gran and came over here, perhaps to cool off the heat.

'....Oh dear, Dariel. Your wife is scary.''
No, my wife was very strong like that. They say that a man loves a woman who looks like his mother, but I guess it's in his blood.

　Looking at the two avenging enemies who are harmonious as a matter of course, I have been in a daze since a while ago.

　Well.
　Let's recapitulate the information here once again.

　With Granbaza-sama, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the previous generation, and.
　Arantzill, the previous generation's hero.

　These two people are sworn enemies who have fought each other as representatives of the Demon Race and the Human Race.
　........I've said many times before that this is the case.

　These two people, each with their own unique background, were important to me.

　First of all, I don't have to mention the Four Heavenly Kings, Granbaza-sama.

　He used to be my boss when I was a dark soldier in the Demon King's Army, and he has been a great help to me in both my business and personal life.
　You can call him a father figure because he not only helped me, but also picked me up when I was an orphan and raised me.

　In other words, a nurturing father.
　That was Grandfather.

　On the other hand, Arantzill was once a brave man, but to me, a former member of the Demon King's Army, he was a bitter enemy.
　Not once or twice have I met him on the battlefield and made him feel like he was going to die.

　However, of all things, that Arantzill is my real father.
　When he was young, he tried desperately to get his son back from the demon tribe, but in the end he lost him without a clue.
　The man who turned his grief of loss into hatred and fought for the annihilation of the demon tribe is said to be the brave Arantzill.

　The son of the brave man who was just born and disappeared. After comparing the timing of their separation from each other and the people involved, the possibility that he is the same person as me is strong, or at least confirmed.

　In other words, the strongest and most courageous man of all time is my own father, who is related to me by blood.
　That is to say, the strongest and most powerful man of all time is his own father who is related to him by blood.

"Wow, what a surprise!

　That's all I can say either.

　The irony is that the previous brave man who fought against the demon race powered by anger and hatred of having his son taken away from him, but his son was in the enemy camp.
　Even though the truth is revealed and they meet again, his son, who was a baby when they parted ways, is now a good old man in his thirties.

　He was still furious that the decades of time they were supposed to spend together would never return, and then it was the cuteness of his own son, Gran, that stopped the madness.

　
　I think he felt the illusion that his son, who was taken away from him after thirty years, came back as he was.

　The final battle was averted in the form of a meltdown with Gran-kun.

　And Granbaza-sama is also melodramatic to Gran, who inherited his name.
　The enmity between the two enemies is extinguished in one fell swoop.
　The baby's cuteness is amazing.

''Dariel-san........?''

　Radey, the current hero, spoke to me.
　I'm not going to be able to say that this kid is not going to be able to ignore the extraordinary situation with all the old heroes and the Four Heavenly Kings.

''It's tremendous!　You were special after all!
Huh?
Isn't that right?　He inherited the bloodline of the heroic Arantzill-sama, who was touted as the strongest of all time, and was raised and trained by the Four Heavenly Kings Granbaza, who was touted as the strongest of all time. There is no other person with such a great origin and background!

　If you think about it, that might be true.

　His birth parents were the strongest heroes, and his upbringing was the strongest Four Heavenly Kings.

　Once again, when I put it into words, the awesomeness of it all came across to me three times more.

　Who's that!　Who holds up such a ridiculous history?
　It was me.

It's only natural that Dariel-san is the strongest of the stupid. He's far more worthy of being a brave man than me and others...!　It's better to switch places with me and the heroes now...!
No, no, no, no, wait, wait, wait.

　I can't be a brave guy.

　I've been refusing to even join a brave party for a long time now, so how can I be a brave man myself?

　The village of Laxx is the most important thing to me right now.
　I can't go out there to defeat the Demon King in order to keep the peace in this village. I don't want to leave my village.

"I don't want to leave my beloved wife and son.
That's right.

　Something about it was agreed to by Arantzill, the previous brave man.

''Family is the most important thing...!　If my wife and son hadn't been hurt, I would have quit being a hero, risking everything to protect my family...!　...It's Dariel.
Yes?

　Why do you call me that?
　Yeah, because he turned out to be your real son?

'Cherish your family above all else. There is nothing more important than that. At least my family is more important than the duties of a brave man. I didn't realize that until I lost them, but you can't lose them...!　Really...!
What...!

　Mr. Aranziel seems to be very emotional about being reunited with his son, but I'm troubled.

　I'm not at all emotional about it.

　After all, for me, I've been an orphan ever since I can remember, and it was the normal form of not having a parent.
　I have no memories of being lonely because I had the best substitute parent, Lady Grandparents, since I was very young.

　I'm a grown-up now, and it's not a shock to me to be moved by the appearance of my own parents after all this time.

　........But that, it's too cruel to say that publicly in front of Arantzill-san.
　It's kindness to go along with the story here.

''........I'm happy too. Yes, that's right. Yes.........
'It's okay, just that you're still alive. My father is happy. I'm so glad...!
Thank you....

　This is how we each manage our emotions.
　The village of Lax is peaceful today.
