Chapter 507.1
“Hey!”
Nell jumped into my arms and hugged me tightly.
“Mmm, Onii-san’s smell! Hehehe, I’m so happy!”
She rubbed her head against my chest, and I smiled as I stroked Nell’s head, which made her cheeks loose.
“Welcome back. You are usually so gallant and brave. But the way you currently act, you seem even younger than Illuna and the others.”
“My work time is over. I’m not a hero right now!”
“Oh, then, what are you now?”
“Of course, I’m your wife!”
Nell said with a bit of embarrassment.
Nell was really cute.
Nell could now come home more often than before. However, there were still days when she could not come home for a long time because she had to work somewhere.
And since the time she could spend at home was short, I let her do whatever she wanted when she came home like this.
This time, too, she had been on a military expedition and had not been back for about a week, so I guess she was happier than usual on her return.
Among my family members, Nell was especially good at spoiling me, or rather, she was honest with herself and indulged me.
She was relatively honest about what she wanted me to do, which made it easier for me to accommodate her.
“Nell! Welcome back. I’m sure you’re tired, so I’ll ask Layla to prepare some tea for you right away! Layla, Nell is here.” (Yuki)
“Oh, Layla, I didn’t notice you!” (Nell)
Layla, who was standing in the corner, said, “Welcome Home.”
“Well, Layla is the best at making tea in our house! That’s why you should just leave the serving of tea and snacks to her.” (Yuki)
“I see, I’m thankful! But I’d like to help her serve the tea. The other will be drinking tea as well right, Onii-san?” (Nell)
“You can just relax and let us handle it.” (Yuki)
“What? No, no, no, just sit down there as I help her!”
With that, Nell left for the kitchen, receiving a “welcome back” from Lefi and Lyuu along the way.
…What a homely hero she was.
I hope the tea helps in relieving her exhaustion.
◇◇◇
Then, when everything was soon ready, we sat down next to each other at the table.
Perhaps out of concern, my other wives’ did not join us, each doing whatever they wanted to do.
The little girl group had gone to play in the meadow area and had not yet returned.
“Oh right, listen to this, Onii-san. A holy knight in my troop, you know, he came to introduce his wife to my office, and then he said, ‘This is my wife.’ and his wife said ‘Thank you, everyone, for always being so kind to my husband.’ I admire that kind of thing!”
“You admire it? If you want, I can go to your place of work and say hello.”
“No, no, no, no. That would reverse the situation. Besides, everyone in my unit knows you.”
Well, it was true that I have often visited Nell’s Order of the Holy Knights when I go to Allysia Kingdom, so it was a little late for me to visit them as a surprise, I guess.
“I have a dream. To introduce myself to my neighbors who have come to visit us for the first time and say, ‘I’m this person’s wife’!“
“Oh, so it’s only for neighbors?”
“Yup!”
“I see. I think it’s a cute dream, but unfortunately our nearest neighbors live over the mountains.”
And they were dragons.
As long as our home base was in Demon Forest, surely we wouldn’t have neighbors that would show up even if it were a hundred years from now.
Nell said excitedly, “Okay, let’s go see them sometime and do that, Onii-san!”
“No, thanks. They’ll probably just smile bitterly and say hello to you, too.”
“True, I’m sure they’ll look at us like, ‘What’s the big deal all of a sudden?’ They are dragon people, right?”
Yes, they were.
Although they belonged to the dragon race, I saw them in the Demon Forest a few times a year, and I greeted them with a light wave of my hand.
Even if they had been living deep in the forest, they could sense our presence right away and would notice our approach.
Depending on the dragon, they may come close to us and chat with us, and I think we might be able to build a good relationship with them.
My name should have been known to most of the dragons living in the Demon Forest by now. I wondered if it was because I was Lefi’s husband, but they were all very warm and friendly to me.
What would be a good present when I visit them… Well, maybe some good liquor would do. I should prepare it by the kegs.
Now that I have connections, I should be able to have it prepared easily, you know?
Well, for the dragons, even if we had not seen each other in years, it would only feel like a little from their perspective, so thinking of them as proper neighbors might not be that bad.
After exchanging jokes, I listened to Nell’s stories about such-and-such, and I told her about my daily happenings.
But my day-to-day life was pretty uneventful, so I didn’t have much to tell her.
As for the latest topics… Oh, right, there was one big one.
