Big Duck: Don't Want to Call Me "Big Sis"? Then Call Me "Mom"! (Please Subscribe Automatically)!

Although the fire in the Hearth Home has never gone out, it is no longer the same as the fire when Bai Ge was there.

It cannot warm the entire house, and there is a risk that it will be extinguished by the cold wind or doused with cold water.

"What are you two whispering about? Come and eat! Leave the matter of finding Father to Bronya and Seele. Speaking of which, you haven't called back in so long. Are you two planning to keep Father all to yourself after you find him?"

"Island Malt bit her fingernail and said doubtfully."

"Oh? Is that so? How cunning!"

"Liliya thinks it's very likely."

"Goo-hoo! We really need to find out the details!"

Upon hearing this, Rosaria excitedly got up to get the phone to contact Bronya, but the clumsy pink-haired girl accidentally stepped on the firewood.

"Ouch!"

"Hey, watch out!"

She fell headfirst into the fireplace.

Rosaria!

This act of directly cremating himself startled everyone, but the crowd that quickly gathered around was surprised to find...

The flames in the fireplace seemed to come alive, gently clinging to Rosaria without harming her in the slightest.

"The fire in the fireplace is not burning Rosaria."

"This amazing phenomenon, could it be that..."

Just then, as the door opened, a voice that brought tears to their eyes came.

"Everyone, I'm back!"

"Everyone, I'm back!"

Bai Ge mustered up some courage to push open the door of the Hearth Home again, because he found that everything was exactly the same as the place he had left.

The girls seemed to want to hold onto time.

Everything was frozen on the day he left.

Even before seeing them, Bai Ge could already feel the women's longing for him, which moved him so much that he wanted to do something.

But in the end, all they could do was push open the door in front of them as soon as possible and reunite with them as soon as possible.

At the same time, the fireplace flame, which should have been extinguished long ago, once again became an eternal, inextinguishable fire.

"Bai Ge Dad—!" xN

When he reappeared, Xing Malt, Rosaria, Liliya and the others were all moved to tears.

Before he could even step inside, they all rushed out and pounced on Bai Ge.

"Waaaaah! It really is Bai Ge Dad!"

"Yes! There's no mistake!"

"Dad's finally back!"

"Everyone, quickly hug Bai Ge Dad tightly, and never let him leave us again."

"That's right! Hey? Why does Father seem so much younger? Sniff! But the scent hasn't changed~"

(Wow, so enthusiastic!)

Bai Ge was tackled to the ground by dozens of girls, lying on the snow at the doorway, his expression gentle as he allowed these girls to occupy every inch of his body.

If he hadn't relaxed his muscles just now, given Rosaria and the others' speed, it would have been no different from them sprinting at full speed and crashing into a steel plate.

"I'm back, everyone, I'm back!"

"As expected, it's Bai Ge Dad! We all miss you so much!"

"Yeah, I miss you all too~"

Bai Ge gently hugged each of the girls. The memories in his mind had not faded at all. He still remembered each of their names and every second of that time.

Bronya and Seele, standing nearby, couldn't help but tear up. At that moment, it felt as if time had turned back to more than a year ago, to the most beautiful time of their lives.

"Xing, I didn't expect you to become so reliable. It really makes me happy. You are truly our family's child."

"Rosaria, oh my, you've gotten so much fatter than when I left? But you're still so cute."

"Liliya, you're tickling me. Let me take a good look at your face. Hmm, you're just as cute as my sister."

Bai Ge felt as if he had countless words to say to these girls. Even though he had only been away for a year, he was already reluctant to leave them again.

"Finally, it's complete..."

Bronya wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and said.

When Bai Ge reappeared at the Hearth Home, it was as if a puzzle piece had finally been fitted into its center, and the incomplete house became whole again.

Surrounded by the girls, Bai Ge entered the house.

He sat back down in his assigned seat.

Bai Ge looked wistfully at the flames in the fireplace.

Although when he arrived at the door, the flame that had been ignited by his incomplete power as the Flame Herrscher resonated with the power of the Herrscher of Flamescion at this moment.

It transformed from ordinary flames back into Herrscher Flames.

But he could also sense that the fireplace fire, which he thought had been extinguished long ago, had never actually gone out during the year he was gone.

Bai Ge raised his hand to touch the fireplace flames.

The memories within the flames were passed on to him.

"You guys are amazing. Even though I'm gone, you've successfully protected the symbol of home."

Even without the support of authority or the omnipotent Honkai Energy as fuel, the girls have managed to keep this flame burning through their own strength.

Every night, two young girls are responsible for keeping watch and adding firewood to ensure the fire burns brightly and safely. No one arranges it or forces anyone to do it; everyone does it voluntarily.

This flame replaced Bai Ge's eyes.

Watching everything that happens inside the Hearth Home.

It also witnessed the longing and yearning of these young girls.

Just as it was being upgraded back to Herrscher Flame, Rosaria accidentally fell into it.

But Bai Ge didn't try to control the flame at the time, which means that the flame itself chose not to harm Rosaria.

Flame: (That's only natural. When I regain my special powers and can control my temperature, how could I possibly hurt these girls who have been adding firewood to my fire day and night? After all, my purpose in being here is to keep them warm.)

After that, Bai recounted his experiences over the past period. After all, they had waited for so long, Bai Ge felt it was his responsibility to let the girls know why they had waited.

"As for what I've been doing lately, let me think. On a small scale, I saved a few girls; on a larger scale, I'm saving the world."

"By the way, everyone should change how you address me from now on. You should call me brother, not father... at least not in front of outsiders."

Bai specifically reminded everyone about the proper way to address each other.

"Huh? Why?"

"Because we're about the same age as you guys now, if I keep calling you that in public, it'll cause trouble. Nobody wants me to get arrested by the police, right?"

"No, no! Although it's a little strange, we'll change how we address you! Bai Ge... Brother."

Quite a few girls have already been unable to control their smiles.

Looking at 'Bai Ge Dad' who has become about the same age as himself, he thought that the opportunity he had been dreaming of had finally arrived!

After that, Bai Ge recounted some of his experiences during this period, such as saving Changkong City from total destruction, joining an academy called St. Freya, defeating the terrifying monster Chi You from five thousand years ago, and playing a game with a certain fool, etc.

The girls in the Hearth Home were amazed, but the scene looked no different from the past, and Bai Ge would tell them bedtime stories when they had trouble sleeping.

"Actually, I have to thank Bronya for finding me back then, otherwise I probably wouldn't have reunited with everyone yet."

"Oh, Bronya has done a great job. Um... you're Bronya? How... how did you grow up so big? Am I dreaming?"

Overjoyed at their reunion with Bai Ge, the girls focused all their attention on him.

So much so that Bronya and Seele were completely ignored until this moment.

When they turned their attention back to the two of them, everyone was stunned.

What a broad mind!

What an elegant demeanor.

Good heavens! What's with this giant Duck Duck?!

"Hi everyone, long time no see."

Seeing that these kids, who had forgotten their sisters as soon as they had a father, had finally remembered her, Bronya immediately straightened her head and puffed out her chest.

She seemed to be doing it casually, but in fact she was putting a lot of effort into striking an elegant pose, and even tossed her long, silver-gray hair, exuding the ultimate charm of a mature, sophisticated Duck Duck!

Big Duck Duck: (All eyes turn to Bronya! I'm going to stun you all today!)

"You, you're really Bronya?"
