Ugh, I'm nervous for the first time in a long time.

　Pricia says that next to me. Next to her, Roy and May are also nervous. The reason for this is because of the church in front of us.

　This church was burned down four years ago due to an arson attack, but it has been rebuilt and is the church where Pricia and her friends grew up. It's the church where Pricia and her friends grew up.

　Today is the day before the wedding in Arcadia. Pricia and her friends and I had come to greet Sister Stella, the sister who raised Pricia and her friends who live here.

　Pricia and her friends have sent her letters and money, but it seems it's the first time they've seen each other since they split up. It's been nearly four years since they met. That's why everyone is quite nervous.

''Look, Pricia,''

Yes, sir.

　I take Pricia's hand and urge her on, and she nods and walks away. Then we open the gate and enter the church grounds, and I see children inside working in the fields. Come to think of it, Pricia and the others used to work the fields. It must have been taken over even now.

''Hey!　Ben, dear, what are you skipping out on there!

Geez, Silje, girl!　I'm not skipping work, okay?　And I'm just resting!

You were resting, too!　Now get to work!

'Yikes!　Don't you kick my ass!　You violent b*tc*!

That's it!　I'm going to beat you up!

　In the field, a teenage girl was chasing a boy of about the same age around the field. All around them were similar kids working in the field and laughing at the scene.

'It's been a long time ago, big sister Pricia,'

Yeah, it's been a long time.

　Pricia and May smiled at the scene. Roy next to them also nodded. Looking at such a scene.

'Oh, dear, you've been slacking off again, Ben?　Don't bother Silje too much, okay?

　Stella came out of the church with a lot of laundry, accompanied by two girls around May's age, both of whom were also carrying laundry.

'Babe, I'm not skipping anything!　I was just taking a break!

'Mom, Ben, you need to take a break every few minutes!　Don't you think that's funny!

　The sight of everyone happily living together. I'm looking at that scene.

Who are your sisters?

　I think they were about five years old. Two girls and three boys about that age came in. They must have come from the main entrance. They had a ball in their hands, so they must have been planning to play with it.

　At this age, Pricia and her friends hadn't been here yet when they left the church, or if they had, they wouldn't remember coming at all. Pricia and the others are like children who have never seen them before.

'We know your mother. May we come in?

　Pricia asks with the same gaze as the children, and they hmmmmm and think. It's adorable.

　Then a boy who was a little older came in. He's about the same age as the children who were running around in the field earlier, just barely old enough to remember if he was there four years ago.

Who are you guys?　They don't seem like bad people.

Long time no see, Kelville. Have you forgotten about me?

　Pricia smiles at the boys. Pricia and her friends seem to remember, but the boy looks confused and confused. Pricia smiles at him, wondering if it can't be helped.

　And if we were making such a fuss about the quarry, the other children noticed us too. Then, inevitably, the children who are not as old as Sierra-san and Mei-chan also noticed.

　Sierra-san looks at us and gives us a surprised look, but then she turns to us with a smile. Pricia is already in tears.

'Welcome home, Pricia, May and Roy.'

I'm back, Mom.

　Pricia hugs Sierra-san with tears streaming down her face as her smile has reached its limit. Mei hugs her as well. Roy watches the two of them with a hehe, laughing. With tears in her eyes.

　The children who knew Pricia and the others also had tears in their eyes. The little ones are looking at them with a look of disbelief, though.

'Let's go inside for now. Mr. Ray is very welcome to join us.'

Yes, sorry I'm late to say hello.

'Uh-huh, I know Ray very well from Pricia's letter to me. Thank you so much for making me happy about Pricia.

'Please don't. I like Pricia and I like her too, so it's only natural. Besides, Sierra is going to be my mother-in-law, so don't be so awed.

　When I say that, Sierra-san looks troubled. But Pricia is smiling and nodding next to me, so she reluctantly agrees.

　After that, Pricia, May and Roy would want to talk a lot with Sierra-san and the other children, so I decided to take care of the little ones who didn't know about Pricia and the others.

　I showed them a golem play, which was very popular with the kids, and they got excited. I might be able to make a living out of this.

　We cooked a sumptuous dinner using the demon meat I had collected. The way the kids looked at me was amazing.

　After everyone was satisfied, we decided to leave Pricia and the others behind. There will be stories to pile up with the whole family. If anything, Roy will be there, and I'll have my golem as a guard. There shouldn't be any danger.

'Okay then, Pricia. I'll come back for you tomorrow.

Oh, no, that's fine. We'll be back in the morning. We'll be ready to go.

　If you're going to go that far, you can wait. I kiss Pricia as we part ways. The little ones around me tut tut!　I'm making a lot of noise, but kids of a certain age blush. Naturally, so does Pricia.

　I went back to the palace with my back to the children's words "Please come again".
