"Rudeus, what are you still doing here?"
In the messy laboratory, I sat on the chair in a daze
To be precise, I have been in a daze for a long time
Nanahoshi put away the drawings in his hands with a bit of disgust in his tone.
"Well... I originally wanted to come over and see if you needed any help."
"I haven't needed help much for a long time."
"Heh, so you are going to talk to me in this disgusting tone from now on?"
Nanahoshi smiled
"Why do you think so?"
"Because I'm useless"
"Yeah~ That's right."
"You might as well deny it..."
"Okay, no more joking, let's go have a drink?"
I shook my head
"I'm going to my mother's house for dinner tonight. If I'm caught drinking, I'll be guilty."
"Who told me in the first place? After marriage, my family status is very high~ I can drink whatever I want."
"I didn't say that..."
"Where is your daughter? Why don't you bring it to me?"
"Didn't you say that I brought it to you when I was three years old?"
"Are you serious about this? How old is your daughter?"
"Windsor is one and a half years old, Lara and Lucy are only half a year old"
"Hoo, can Windsor speak?"
"Yes"
"Bring it to me to play with some time."
"Just kidding... what you said is really..."
Nanahoshi waved his hand and spoke.
"Okay, okay, you go quickly."
Helpless, I stood up from the chair and said
"Okay, then I'll go back."
It was already dusk when we walked towards the road home.
I spent the whole afternoon in a daze in Nanahoshi's laboratory.
Of course, it's not because I have any family problems or I'm tired.
I just want to see what state Nanahoshi is in
After all, she confirmed that she can't go back in a short time. If it were me, I would definitely be hit.
But okay...Nanahoshi is still the same
"Huh..."
As the sun is about to set, the usually deserted streets gradually become lively.
Autumn is the most beautiful season in my opinion
Scenery, temperature, mood
Everything looks just right in autumn
Somehow, I stopped walking towards home, and I walked towards the market.
Looking around in the market, I found a vendor selling women's accessories.
Everything inside is not expensive
"Boss, how much does this hand strap cost?"
"Huh? This...Rudeus-sama?!"
"Shh~ How much is it?"
"Why am I so embarrassed to ask you for money... Just take it if you like it."
I picked six bracelets, the colors corresponding to my wife and daughters
After nodding with satisfaction, I placed a gold coin on the vendor's table.
"No need to look for it"
Then, I left the market and walked towards home again
When I approached the door of my house, I found that my wife and children were at the door.
They were so happy that they didn't know what they were talking about.
Roxy is holding Lara, Sylphie is holding Lucy, and Windsor is looking at the door of the house like a sentry.
After they found me, they didn't greet me immediately, but looked at me with smiles.
Just when I was a little confused, Eris gently patted Windsor on the back.
I looked at my daughter, who was only one and a half years old, walking towards me step by step
Subconsciously, I squatted down and waited there until Windsor walked in front of me
"Dad... welcome home...!"
