The racially characteristic well-put face warped pathetically.
When Etoile was born, Dante-san had co to the Sanctuary and stayed in at the Lodge in order to see her.
「Freesia, let’s go back ho.」
「I don’t want to, I can’t watch Etoile-chan’s growth, I want to watch the adorable Etoile-chan grow up every day!」
「No, it’s about ti you co back to our fief……」
「That’s your job, isn’t it?」
「Freesia~」
Having stayed nearly two months, Dante-san knew that leaving his territory for too long was unwise, and so he was going back today.
Dante-san thought it was only natural that Freesia-san would co ho with him, and so he was shaken when she refused him outright.
On the other hand, Freesia-san, who was holding Etoile, thought it was ridiculous that it was outrageous to go ho.
「Freesia, I also want to watch Etoile grow up every day. But I have a responsibility to our territory. I want you, my wife, to support by my side……」
Dante-san tried persuading Freesia-san with heartfelt reasoning.
Maybe it was unreasonable, but……
「What are you saying? That small territory will be alright even without , no? Dear, do your best. Okay Etoile-chan, let’s say bye bye to the grandpa~」
「Wai- Freesia, don’t take Etoile’s hand and wave bye bye! Etoile, tell this gran to co ho!」
No, Etoile can’t speak. And Dante-san, you spoke the forbidden words to refer to Freesia-san.
Sure enough, the mood around Freesia-san, who took Etoile’s hand and waved bye bye to Dante-san, changed.
「……gran? Whoever could you be pertaining to?」
「Hiik! F-freesia, calm down! You’re her grandmother, so gran is right, no? Didn’t you just call grandpa?!」
「I am an older sister! I’m not so hag!」
Freesia-san’s face fell when she was called a granny, and she approached Dante-san with a strange intensity.
Now that she ntions it, Freesia-san consistently refers to herself as sister in front of Etoile. In reality, Freesia-san and Dante-san’s appearances didn’t feel like that of a grandmother and grandfather because they were Elves. When Freesia-san and Sophia are together, they’re like sisters.
「No, that’s unreasonable, Freesia. Co ho with .」
「Don’t be silly, Dante. This is difficult for Etoile. This is also for Sophia’s sake.」
「No, can’t you just co again once you find so free ti? You’re bothering Takumi-kun and Sophia.」
「Oh my, I’m not a bother, am I?」
The conversation turned to Sophia and I, and Freesia-san asked us with a smile on her face.
「Y-yeah, bothering…… of course we don’t think that.」
「Haa, I do appreciate you being here, mother, but shouldn’t you go ho with father?」
「S-sophia’s right. You think so too, Sophia?」
「Dear, listen carefully. Sophia said she appreciates being here. Co now, the carriage is waiting for you, so hurry and go.」
「Guh, Etoile, grandpa will co back soon!」
Dante-san was dragged into a carriage by the coachman who enjoyed a nice vacation in the Lodge.
「Madam, please be well. You can leave Master to .」
「Please take care of him. Have a safe trip.」
「Yes. Well then, excuse us.」
The carriage carrying Dante-san, the coachman, and the adventurers guarding them started running out of the Sanctuary.
The carriage exited the gate and faded into the distance.
「Etoileeeeee!! I’ll co back sooooon!!」
Leaning out of the carriage window, Dante-san scread Etoile’s na.
「Sheesh, what an embarrassing grandpa, huh~」
「Mother, father is so pitiful though.」
「It’s fine, it’s fine. If he wants to stay with Etoile, then he should retire and leave the territory to Darphy.」
I feel like it’s too early for Dante-san to retire, but I’m quite certain that we will et Dante-san again in the not so distant future.
