Night.

Wooden circular table in the living room of your home.

We sat in front of each other.

"Yes. Dad. I made you some tea."

"I'm sorry. Thanks."

I receive a cup of tea from the top of the basin where Anna has served me. And I offered it to Regina and Elsa, who would sit face to face.

Anna's tea is delicious.

"... Hmm. If you can taste it, you can drink it."

Regina drinks without the tea she received from me.

There was a unique habit in how to hold a cup.

Mmm, the eyebrows that were tightly tied loosened.

"... well, not bad"

"I guess so."

I think you liked it.

"More than that, Dad. Can you explain this guy to me?

She asks as Anna holds the empty basin in front of her body.

"She's the one who's been pointing a big sword at me in the Adventurer's Guild. Including why she's crossing our house."

Anna's glance at Regina had a color of vigilance.

It's not a bad thing.

No one can immediately accept those who have suddenly turned their swords to themselves.

"She's Regina. When I was an adventurer. They were looking around for me. I finally ran into him earlier and he's had a light meeting. I brought you to this house because there was a lot of talk with Regina about recruiting."

"Yeah...... Dad's old buddy hey..."

Anna stares reluctantly at Regina.

"... what. Look at you wandering."

Regina looked back at Anna uncomfortably.

The more intimidating it seems to be if you're a regular person.

But Anna didn't look frightened.

"Does Mr. Regina like his dad or something?

"- Buh!"

Regina spurted the tea that was in her mouth with momentum.

…………

A splash of unleashed tea fell on my face when I was face to face.

"- Well, think about what you're going to say! That I have a thing for Kaisel!? Don't let the proper thing slip through!

Regina, who disagrees, was more wolfish than she had ever seen before.

"Is it true? From the reaction, I can smell the stars."

"Uh. You like this guy about his dad? No, you can't. My dad belongs to me. It's forbidden to embezzle them."

and Merrill, who was sleeping in a bedroom futon, peeks into his face.

"What do you guys know about me?... Shit. My daughter of her age, she wants to be tied to everything immediately."

When Regina tongues,

"Me and Kaisel used to belong to the same party. Nothing more or less. Do you have romantic feelings? Ridiculous."

When you throw it away like that, you put on arms and shut up against each other.

But there was still a blush in my ears.

"Well, whatever."

And I try to undo the subject.

"Regina. I need to ask you something."

"What?"

"Why did you attack Elsa?

I spoke of my suspicions.

"If you need me, all you have to do is show Elsa around. You shouldn't have to blow a fight on her."

"It's a simple story. I wanted to make sure."

"Make sure? What?

"I guess a daughter like Elsa there is the youngest S-rank adventurer ever. Kaisel, it was a quicker promotion than you."

"Right."

"So I wanted to make sure. Is your daughter the rightful owner of the S-rank Adventurer? Kaisel, I wonder if you were worth raising until you abandoned your S-rank dreams."

Regina looked at Elsa with a waking eye.

But you missed your expectations.

"... Huh!?

Elsa's eyes shocked.

"Regina. You're making one mistake"

I said.

"I raised them of my own free will. It has nothing to do with value. I just want them to live happily ever after."

"... because it's an unnecessarily angry story"

Regina threw up bitterly.

"Kaisel. You were undoubtedly the strongest man in the king's capital back then. If I'm being honest, you're the youngest and the S-rank adventurer I've ever been."

"Buy it. I'm not that big of a person."

I said.

"Plus, there was a lapse in the Enchanted Dragon thing. I'm not sure I could have been promoted to S-rank."

"But the Enchanted Dragon thing isn't your fault, either! We made you fuck up!

Regina exclaimed her voice absurdly.

"It would be good to talk about that already. I can't go back in time."

When I say that, it looks like Regina, who was standing up, got her temper cut off. I honestly took a seat with a wounded look on my face.

"... you are the only adventurer I have ever recognized. I will not allow myself to be humbled. That's an insult to me for admitting you."

"Regina......"

I drank all the tea I had left, and then I said it out loud.

"But eighteen years is a hell of a time. That's all they slapped me at the time, and now no one remembers me."

Ever since I came to Wang Capital, I have never been able to identify myself with the city's inhabitants.

Even princesses who have met in the past.

I have to feel the flow of time, not to say that people are different than they were back then.

"That's because Etra manipulated the human memory of the city."

"Etra?

I was surprised to get the wizard's name that used to be part of the same party.

"The connection that is now protecting this city from demons was put up by him eighteen years ago. It incorporates a formula to diminish Kaisel's presence from the human memory inside the junction."

"But even after we came to King's Landing, we remembered our dad, didn't we?

"That's right. That's right. I haven't forgotten about your dad, have I?

"It's not sustainable magic. Eighteen years ago, at the time of the bond, it only worked on the people in the city."

said Regina.

"I can't believe it's magic that interferes with the memory of all humans of the size of Wang Du... is that something that can be done so outrageously?

"I guess it won't be possible for any other wizard. But Etra can do it. That's Kaisel. You'll understand very well, too."

Etra was a genius.

At the time - eighteen years ago I was well known as a wizard, but still nothing compared to Etra.

She deserves the title of wise man.

"Most of all, he hates being on the table, and he doesn't have the spirit to do it for people. Not by name, though," Regina said.

"He said such Etra faded people's memories for me. I wonder why."

"I don't know. He's the only one who knows what's true. There is also the possibility that it is merely a whim. It's a waste where we pushed this and the evil."

"Is it because the thoughts of genius are not always understood by man"

Regina nodded.

"What has Regina been up to?

"I'll tell you that. You don't have to."

"Then let's change the question. What brings you back to Wang Du?

Let me exercise my right to remain silent.

"You've become quite secretive."

And I laugh bitterly.

"Is it annoying that you want to know about your people?

"... Hmm. I don't want you to tell me that you left King's Capital without saying no to us." I said when I saw how Regina was throwing up and throwing up.

"Regina. Could it be that you're obstinate?

"What?

"Because I'm gone from Wang Du on my own."

"... then don't be silly. Who imitates such childishness? I'm just retaliating for what you did to me."

"Isn't that what you call a childish imitation?

and Anna pointed it out.

"For what I'm hearing, I seem completely obstinate."

"Ku......!

"Ah. Mr. Regina. Her face is turning bright red. It was a star."

Meryl grabbed her finger with pleasure.

Regina made a rattling noise and took a seat. I try to turn my heel back.

- Things go crazy with you guys.

"Regina, come back for dinner."

And I stopped.

"Are you going to stay in King's Capital for a while?

"... Hmm. I'll think about it."

Regina said so, she opened the door and went outside.

"You're a unique person."

and Anna said, clapping her shoulders.

"All adventurers are. It's a gathering of sociopaths."

"That's undeniable."

I smile bitterly.

"I'm just not a bad guy. We've been together for years, I guarantee it."
