Peace has returned.

　My son, Gran, who was once selected as a brave man, is still running around the mountains and fields as an ordinary child.
　To play.

　It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for when you go up to the top of the mountain and come back before dinner.

　The reason for this is the incomparable strength that that child showed at the brave selection meeting.

　Moreover, our Gran is adored by everyone in the village, so he's been taught techniques by many powerful people and seems to have mastered them all perfectly.

　Later on, when I finished up with Gacita, Sesha, Zester and others, I found out that they were hiding and teaching Gran his special moves....

It's fun to teach them, because they can learn any technique at a moment's notice!　Excuse me!

　.........or so they say.

　I need to see for myself how far my son has grown, I thought....

◆.

We're going to be doing some serious hand-to-hand combat today.
'Yes!　Dad's going to play with me!

　It's not playful.

　There have been many times I've played chambara with Gran, but that's why it was totally within the scope of play.

　They don't use aura, they just barely strike each other with a wooden sword.

　But this time, I've lifted the ban on aura, and I'm in serious mode for the first time in a long time using the Hermes sword.

　Well, I have no intention of hurting my beloved son.
　I'll always try to stop them.

"Let's go, Dad!　Kuke-Eee!

　My son is attacking me with a roar like a monster bird.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find the right one for you.

　Like me, he's a son with an all-around aptitude for aura, so I really wish I had a weapon to match it.

　-- ''Now is the time for a second Hermes sword to rival my master's with my own hands! And Sakai-kun was all tensed up.

　Anyway, my son Gran's blade is swung down without mercy.

　It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you'll be able to see your son's face.
　Can't you be a little more afraid of slashing your father?

But it's sweet.

　I play back the Hermes sword in sword form.

　No matter how much talent he is blessed with, Gran's total aura is still small compared to me.
　As it is, it was a battle between an adult and a child.

''Even so, Gran overwhelmed the other candidates in the heroic selection meeting, but...''
That's my dad!　Then I'll be there in earnest!　''Se-Oh, Splitting Sky!''

　My son doesn't hesitate to fire a giant aura slash at me.

　Would you like to play around with it a little more?　But if he's actually shooting at me for fun, I'll have to change my son's mind.

"I'm the one with the Holy Grail, too.

　The kid and his grandson hit each other with a special move that the grandfather had developed.

　They added and subtracted and shot, so they were able to offset each other well.

　In order to shoot again immediately, the "Super Emperor's Splitting Sky" clashed one after another in the air, and a tremendous impact was scattered.

　It was the same as the one I did the other day with my grandfather Arantzill.

''Grandpa gave up after the 156th shot, but I wonder if Dad will be able to do the same!
''Hahahahahahaha...!

　I've already passed the peak of my physical strength, but I can't afford to lose to Arantzill-san with my endurance in the prime of my life.
　I've got to score at least a double...!

　However, the clash between father and son in the 'Great Emperor Splitting Sky' ended without a dare.

　It was because they were forced to end the hand-to-hand combat.

''Hey!　Stupid brother!
''Aaargh!''

　Gran shoots sparks from his eyes at the impact of being slammed into his head.
　Well, that's what happens when you get hit on the head with a frying pan.

'He's bothering me in the yard!　Little Alan will cry!
Excuse me!

　It was his sister, Selika, who beat Gran.

　She was five years old this year.
　She was born after her first son Gran, and as I recall, she was found to be pregnant when she first went to the Center Guild.

　I remember that she was born right after the turmoil surrounding the inferno had ended, so the timing of her birth was a bit sloppy.

　My eldest daughter has grown up quickly, and now she's grown up to the point where she can be picked on by her uninhibited older brother.
　As a father, I'm filled with emotion.

''But you know........isn't hitting her with a frying pan too much.......?

　What Celica was holding was not a real frying pan, but a toy that resembled a frying pan.
　It's much smaller than the real thing, and I wonder if it's used for trick-or-treating.
　But the shine on that surface, no matter how you look at it, was mithril.
　If you're not good at it, it has a higher impact than the real thing.

'Father!　Alan is taking a nap right now!　If you're going to make a scene, do it somewhere else!
'Sorry........!

　Alan, my third son born last year, is still a raving baby.
　He can't even walk on his own and only drinks Marika's breasts.

　His name, of course, was given to him by his own grandfather, Alanziel.
　He got his first son's name from Mr. Granbaza, so he remembers Mr. Alanziel crying and being happy that his name was finally used for his grandson.

　His second son, Alan, seems to be more mature than his older siblings, even when he is still a baby.

　Gran has been rubbing women's breasts since he was a baby, and his impression of mischievousness is strong, but Alan was very normal at the same time.

　He doesn't cry at night and is not a handful compared to his older brothers and sisters.

　Since such a child is quietly taking a nap, it's no wonder that as a big sister, she is burning with a sense of duty to protect the peace of her young brother.

It's a good thing that you're a good boy. ..............

　The reply to the complaining brother was another frying pan blow.
　There is no question.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one.　You can't just appeal to strength without words...?
No, my mother has instructed me to do just that!

　Oh...?
　Maleeka, what kind of an education are you giving your daughter...?

I said, Mother!　My firstborn son is an a**h*le, and he can't understand a word you say!　He said the only way to discipline them is to hit them!　Grandmother Shama said it too!

　.........

　It's true that Marika's own brother was a bastard, but....
　I recently found out that Elika's mother, Elika, also had an older brother who was a complete bastard.

　It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to find out what's going on in the world, because you want to break that chain of events.

It's okay, my Gran will not grow up to be such a bad adult. .........?
..........

　Answer quickly, son.

'That's why I'm going to make sure my brother doesn't turn out to be an idiot!　This is also an important mission handed down by the chama!

　My daughter Celica said as she swung the frying pan around.

　It's scary.

　In addition to these three unique children, our family is expecting a fourth child soon.
　Next year, we will be an even more lively household.

''Oh yeah,''

　After beating up her own brother in one go, Celica said as she remembered.

'I'm going to go to Auntie Altamir's soon. It's about time for the boy to finish his nap!

　And then he ran off.

　What do you mean?
　Altamir, the Gacita's wife?
　Did you just recently have your first baby?

　I'm told he was a fine, fine boy, but what are you going to do by telling him down there, Celica?

You're not suggesting...?

　That's Malika's daughter.
　Does this mean that they have already found a future blue chip stock and are working to acquire it?

　She's only five years old.

　But considering that she's Malika's daughter...?
