Lax Village, I'm back!

　So this is a nostalgic Lax Village.
　The last few days I went to the Center Guild to do some sightseeing. I was returning after that, and I wonder why?

　I feel like I missed it a lot.

　It was as if it had been years since I had lived here.
　That's how familiar I was with living in this village, wasn't it?

　Because Lax Village is my new home!

　.........well.
　So much for the hometown appeal.

　As soon as I got home, an incident happened.
　It was a very small and insignificant incident, but....

　Malika's older brother Stanville. Also, my brother Lübeke and his sister, Sarika.

　That brother and sister who met by chance at the Center Guild and made me realize the strangeness of fate....

　They had come to Lax Village.

　They were originally from Lax Village, but they were currently living elsewhere for a reason.
　They've been out of touch for a long time and didn't know what state their hometown was in.

　Then by chance, they ran into me and asked me about the recent situation in Lax village.

　It seems that this is why she came back without collecting any arrows or shields....





　He was beaten out of the house.

　The former wife of the former mayor of Lax Village.
　That is, by my mother-in-law.

"How dare you come back in a ditch?

　Mother-in-law.
　She smiled softly, but with a strong willpower, and said, "I wonder which of the ungrateful people who left the village have returned home?

'I wonder which face those ungrateful bastards who left the village had on their faces when they returned?　I really don't have any moderation. Wouldn't it be nice to see the faces of the parents who raised them?

　Mother-in-law!
　You're a parent!

　You know what this is, right?

　Stanville, Lubeke and Saliqa were her brother and sister, so naturally they were also her mother-in-law's children.
　They must have given birth to them by themselves.

　But this punishment.
　I will not show any mercy to a traitor who has abandoned his village, even his son and daughter.

"Goo-ho-ho-ho.... We never abandoned our village, we just wanted to be successful in the city and be a part of our hometown one day.
Shut up. Shut up, you can't mend your ways.

　Hattie to Stanville's chin.
　Is that your mother-in-law's main weapon?

'Do you remember what you said to me when you left the village?　I remember that, don't I?
'Ugh!'
''I'm not going to be smoking in the middle of nowhere! "This is not my place to shine. "I was born in the wrong place! "Embark on a journey to find your true home! Or something.
Uggh?!

　The eldest son, driven to the edge by his mother, flinches.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're talking about. It's really my daughter that's left alone without your advice. I don't know the others. Die.
''Mother!''

　The stepmother's seriously merciless chase was hurled at the siblings.

　Why are they so merciless in the first place....

　Apparently, it all started when Stanville and his siblings left their hometown and left the village of Lax.

　The former Lax Village is a marginalized community that is said to be on the verge of natural extinction.
　It was probably difficult for the young people to entrust their future to such a decaying hometown.

　They left for the city in search of success in their careers.

It's really different...!　Our hometown is going to a strange city...!

　He said that in his first words on his return home.

How did we get here from an empty country village to this...?　The fields we used to run around in as children have been transformed into residential areas...?

　I'm sorry. I'm sorry for turning a memorable landscape into nothing more than a memory.

　The village of Lax before I came here was a horrible rural area, and the image my siblings still had of the village was probably just like that.
　They left because they didn't like the countryside of Lax Village.

They didn't want to come back when the village grew up. This is the kind of inconsiderateness that is typical of my children. Those who ran away at the most difficult time have no right to be our friends.

　Her mother-in-law said flatly, "No!

You can't!

　The sons and daughters scream.

　I watch them from the side, silently.
　Marika stands side by side with them. Grandpa is taking a nap in his chest.

　It's peaceful.

Hey Elika. Can't you forgive him for that much...?

　The only person in the room who tries desperately to intervene to intervene.
　Your father-in-law.

　As your mother-in-law's husband and the father of Stanville and the others, he had no choice but to take the initiative.

'After all, they're our children, aren't they?　It's been years since I've been back. It's called being a parent to welcome them warmly...
Shut up.

　Your mother-in-law is strong.

She said, "We can't let someone who left home because they are family into our home. These people in particular are your children, who were once the village chief. In some cases, these children were supposed to follow in your footsteps and become the village chief, but you refused to do so.　You can't set an example by allowing it so easily.
Maybe so, but...?

　It's hard to be right in the middle of an argument.

Ya!　There you go!　I used to go to Campbell Street to work when I was young.　That's how they got to meet you too, right?　These kids were traveling when they were young...
"These kids left the village saying, 'Will you ever come back? ' It's fundamentally different from migrant workers.
Isn't that so...!

　He was a disheartened stepfather who couldn't argue with me.

'Dariel-kun, help me...!　I can't convince my wife to do this alone...!
I can't.

　I don't think I'd be able to convince your mother-in-law to cooperate.
　Furthermore, if I join the race, inevitably Marika will join the race too, so what's the point in the end?

　Maleeka is also a force to be reckoned with.

　We watched the Stanville brothers and sisters being kicked around and overrun by their own mother as usual without a care in the world.

"Stanville is...!　He's really cute, just because he's my first child. I couldn't help but spoil him.
I understand.

　I'm also super cute with my first child, Gran, too.
　If you're not careful, you'll end up spoiling him.

"Because of that, I've grown up to be very cocky...!　I think that's part of why I left the city, yearning for the city. I'm the one. If only I had raised him well...!

　It was his father-in-law who covered his face.

I know the feeling.

　Whoa, Master Granbaza.
　Since yesterday or so, Granbaza-sama has been staying in Lax village under the guise of recuperating from an injury.

　Even more so if it was decided that he was going to take over...!

　.........
　Could it be that you are citing your own personal experience, Grandfather-sama?

　Taking out a case of Bashbursa.........?
　It's like he's too special for that one...?

'Do you understand?　That's right, my oldest son is a sweetheart!　Even when my wife scolds me, I indulge her.
I know what you mean!　I understand!

　My father-in-law and foster father are getting along with each other...?

What do you think?　While I am here, I will train them with my own hands. I'm sure your wife will agree with me if I adjust them enough to be useful.
'Oh!　Dariel, you have made a man of yourself, Dariel, and if you can trust Master Granbaza to handle it, then you can rest easy!　My wife will surely be happy with you!

　Something strange had been decided on its own.

　No, no.........
　Granberza-sama. You are concerned about your position.

　It's a good idea to have a good time.

I'm sorry, Dariel. I'm sorry that I took a job that should have been yours. I know you're a serious person who would like to raise the best of the best, the best of the best, on your own, for your own hands and feet.
No!

　I don't want to raise these guys and I don't want to turn them into a handheld device, do I?
　Master Granberza, you are mistaken for a remnant of your active service.

'But as far as I'm concerned, I'm an old geezer, and I can't do much more to support you than to save you the trouble. Let me be of some more use to you before I die.

　However, he couldn't even say 'stop' to his benefactor who was motivated to do it, so he had no choice but to watch the outcome.

　You're lucky you're here, brothers and sisters.
　You've been personally tutored by the greatest man of our time.

　The enemy camp, in fact.
