Who was stronger, Estelle Bright or Cassius Bright?
Any normal person would say, of course it was Cassius!
But Estelle had always dreamed of surpassing her father someday.
To surpass her father, she had to defeat him with her own hands.
Estelle opened her eyes and saw a very familiar sight. It was her home, a place that was exceptionally warm and bright.
Estelle loved this home. She loved sleeping in on her own bed, loved going fishing with her father, and when she was little, while her mother was still around, she loved doing housework with her mother...
And of course, there were also her memories with Joshua...
Memories of catching bugs with Joshua, playing in the mud together, becoming bracers together, and fighting monsters to level up...
Of course, Joshua did not enjoy catching bugs or playing in the mud, but Estelle liked it so much that he had no choice but to go along with it...
But today, what exactly had she returned here for?
She thought to herself...
That's right. I came back to defeat Father, to become stronger than him.
Estelle picked up the long staff in her hand—Light of the Planet—and walked into her home.
This home had a large courtyard. Compared to the vast majority of Rolent's residents, Estelle's home was clearly much larger. Naturally, that was thanks to Cassius being such a powerful bracer. His exceptional work abilities meant he earned a great deal of money, allowing him to buy this grand house, one that could almost rival the mayor's residence.
The reason such a large courtyard had been built in front of the house was for martial arts practice. It had once been used exclusively by Cassius, but later on, Estelle and Joshua often sparred and trained here as well.
