Huh.

"Hmmm, you'll lose all your happiness if you let out that sigh.

　Alexia sees me let out a deep sigh and says something like that to me. But it can't be helped, can it? Even though I wasn't able to be there when he was born, if my own son is treated with such bluntness. I hate the last three years.

That's right. Besides, Allen and Elene will understand!

　Krona puts the food in front of me as she says this. This boy is 14 years old now. Little by little she is becoming an adult. Even now, his ears are twitching happily and his tail is swaying as if he has calmed down.

'I wonder if that's true?'

　I didn't expect to feel so anxious when dealing with children. I had never been afraid of dealing with a demon god or facing death. I hate kids!　What a way to die. I wonder if this is how my parents feel.

'Well, just be patient. Those kids are also confused because Ray came back when they had heard that their father wasn't there until now.

　So that's it. You'd be confused if the person you're told is dead comes to you out of the blue. But I can't wait to love them.

Well, I'll be off then.

　After finishing her meal, Alexia kissed me on the cheek and walked out of the dining room. The moment you leave the room, people dressed as civil servants who may have been waiting in front of the room run up to Alexia's bottom. I guess she has a lot of work to do because she's the queen.

　I've become the perfect neato. I've become a string man who is fed by his wives. I've got to do something. Let's go around town for now.

"Thanks for the food, Krona. I'm going out for a bit.

Oh, of course, Master Ray.

　I kiss Krona's forehead as she cleans up the dishes I've finished eating and leave the cafeteria.

　 Especially from the soldiers. Well, the only people who know about my return are the kings of the countries, so I can't blame them if I say it can't be helped.

　From the point of view of people who don't know who I am, I'm a suspicious man who is suddenly sleeping in the royal palace. Moreover, the queens are protecting him themselves.

　The reason I don't tell you is because I've become incredibly famous within the kingdom of Nanor three years ago, but now I'm in all kinds of stories as the hero who ended the war.

　From school materials to novels, to the stage and many other things. My name has spread across the continent because of it. I wonder if Alexia would have laughed at the fact that there would be a fake version of me.

　I decided not to tell her that such a person is back, because it would cause a huge mess if I told her that I was back. I'm trying to get people who know me to shut up about it.

　They say the time to announce I'm back is when they're going to hold the wedding. I'm not supposed to tell anyone until then.

　As I was walking through the royal castle built in the former royal domain, the royal capital of the current Lanwalker Kingdom, I came out into the garden. In the garden, Elene was playing in the garden, chasing butterflies flying on the flowers.

　At the side, Roy was standing with the other soldiers, while Aeris, Pricia and Kana were sitting on the part of the terrace, watching happily.

'Ah, Ray!　Over here!

　I go towards the terrace as Aeris calls me. The maidservants, who have never seen me before, pry at what our relationship is, and the soldiers glare at me sharply.

'Good morning, Mr. Ray,'

Good morning, Mr. Ray.

'Yeah, good morning, Aeris, Pricia, Kana. You're all early.

　I go over and say hello to everyone. Kana no longer calls me cousin when I come back. She says it's because she's going to completely say goodbye to the world before. It's a little disappointing, but it's Kana's decision, so I don't say anything.

'That's because you're slow to wake up, Rei-kun, you know?　Earlier, Glossy Alexia-san was at the Royal Palace with some civil servants.

You've been f*cking this morning, haven't you?

　Ugh, three zit eyes are hard. I had to chuckle. There.

Mom! Mom!　Uncle Grand gave me candy!

　And my beloved daughter, Elene, comes running towards Aeris. But she's going all the way away from me, who's nearby, to go under Aeris.........I'm about to cry.

'Oh my goodness, that's good to hear. Have you thanked the Grand?

Yeah!

'Hahaha!　Mr. Aeris, don't worry about it. I like to give them to you as well.

　While I was sadly looking at Aeris and Elene, a young blond man came in. I'm not sure if he's an older man, since he's called Grand Uncle, but he's a little older than us.

　You are dressed in the clothes of a soldier of this country, but compared to other soldiers, they are more luxurious.

I'm sorry, Grand,

No, no. I like doing this myself.

　Grand says that with a laugh, but he obviously has Aeris in mind. This bastard is trying to get at Aeris. I'll never do that!　I was staring at it, thinking.

Come on, Uncle Grandpa, let's play.

　And then a smiling Elene says, looking up at the ground. Ugh, you don't give me a smile like that. But Grand smiled a troubled smile.

'Dear Elene. As much as I would like to, I'm sorry, but I have to go to work soon...

...buh.

　And I refuse. And Elene sulks at Grand's words. 'Good, I'll take off my skin here.

Elene, I'll play with you instead!

　I crouched down and said that from Elene's perspective.

Yeah!

　 Elene glares at me as it is, hiding in the shadow of the ground. It can't be helped. We have no choice but to use the backdoor method. I'm not very good at earth magic, though.

"Mini-golem!

　I put my hand on the ground and activate my earth magic. The fact that I activated the magic causes the ground to unleash a killing force, but that's only a breeze. I don't care about it. But if you ignore it and activate it.

You are not allowed to invoke magic in the palace!

　I was pissed at Grand. I glanced at Aeris.

He's good.

　He said. Grand looked like he wanted to say something, but Kana and Pricia nodded, so I reluctantly shut up. But they glare at me to make sure I don't do anything dangerous. Well, ignore them.

　I continued on, and the soil on the ground changed shape more and more into ten dwarfs.

'Oh,'

　And here is where Elene takes an interest. The dwarfs walk up to Elene and stand side by side to thank her. Then Elene comes out from behind the grand and bows with a bow. Oh man, she's so cute!

　Okay, Dad, I'm gonna make you feel better!　The dwarfs are divided into five men, each with a weapon. Then they face each other and start to fight.

　I use magic to recreate the effects of the dwarfs' movements. I show Elene a flashy battle with lightning magic blasts, fire magic explosions, wind magic blowing up, water magic, and so on.

　Of course, I don't forget to put up a magic barrier to prevent Elene from having any mishaps.

''Oh!　Whoa, whoa!

　Elene's eyes twinkle and she seems pleased with herself. The maidservants around her are also watching as they devoured the scene. Aeris and the others, and Roy, who knows my identity, were also watching with amusement.

　And now I'm going to recreate my last battle, with one dwarf and four gods the size of a mini-golem. Oh, that's quite an accomplishment, isn't it?

　Aeris and the others have an indescribable look on their faces, since they know my last battle from talking about it, but Elene is very excited. It's for Elene. I hope you'll forgive me.

　　As I thought about that, I suddenly looked up and saw Grand, his cheeks tucked in. What?

Hang in there, dwarf!

　Elene cheered for the dwarf cheerfully, wondering if she knew about such a situation. Good, I'll show you how serious the dwarf is!

"...that's a bit much, Ray...

　I hear Aeris' dumbfounded voice behind me, but I ignore it. I activate a mini lightning-armored tenkoku on the dwarf!　It's the birth of the dwarf who wears lightning. A large number of mini-weapons appear around the dwarf, which he equips and releases into the dwarf. And.

'Kyah!　The dwarf won!

　The dwarf defeats the four gods and wins. Elene hails with joy as the dwarf wins. The maidservants also applauded with a twinkle in their eyes, but Grand and the soldiers turned pale.

　Well, the current lightning-armored dwarf in tendrils would be able to defeat Grand.

''How did it go, Elene?　Isn't it great, Dad?

'Yes!　Great, great, great!　Show me more!
　
　Silently, I looked at the "father" mixed in, but the excited Elene didn't notice. She's just going to keep pestering me for the next one.

　So I used my mini-golem to show her the play until she fell asleep. Elene is so cute.
