  Chapter 144: The Encounter That Day {TL: By Creed) I spent the afternoon leisurely exploring the town as well. Since it’s her hometown, Sofia seemed to be having a lot of fun. I was enjoying myself, too. It’s my first time visiting Leafland. I’ve seen all sorts of things… Had Sofia guide me around… And being able to see the hometown of someone so important to me made me very happy. Time passed quickly, and before we knew it, the sun was starting to set. The sky was dyed red, and the sun was about to disappear beyond the horizon. The town was illuminated by its lingering light, shining like a jewel. This moment is so beautiful. “...It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” “...Yeah.” Sofia and I were gazing over Leafland from a park on a hilltop. We watched the town bathed in the light of the sunset, together. “Fate.” “Yeah?” “Thank you.” “Huh…?” Why is she thanking me? Not understanding, I tilted my head in confusion. Seeing that, Sofia giggled softly. “Right now, Fate, you look like a small animal

  Chapter 143: I got it {TL: By Creed} We browsed through several shops... And then took a walk in the park with Sofia... By the time we started to feel hungry, we decided it was time for lunch. "This place is the number one recommendation in Leafland," Sofia said. "It looks really stylish," I replied. The place Sofia had brought me to was a restaurant specializing in fish dishes. As we stepped inside, the delicious aroma immediately filled the air, making my stomach rumble. "Hmm, what should I choose?" Herb-grilled, pie-crusted, salt-baked... There were so many options to choose from. Sofia seemed to be struggling with the same decision, staring intently at the menu. "I haven’t had the pie-crust fish in a while... But then again, a simple grilled fish is hard to pass up. However..." "Hey, Sofia," I interrupted. "Yes?" "If you're having trouble deciding, why don’t we order the ones we’re both interested in and share t

  Chapter 142: Just the two of us sometimes {TL: By Creed} Leafland is a city rich with greenery. As I walk through the town, I can't help but think about it strongly. "Hmm... Sofia's late." I was leisurely waiting for Sofia in front of the fountain in the center of the town. Today, I had taken the day off... I planned to spend a relaxing day sightseeing around the town with Sofia. Aisha and Licorice were apparently with Edward and Emilia. So, it would just be the two of us—me and Sofia. "Is this... a date?" Saying it out loud makes me feel a little embarrassed. At the same time, I feel happy, too. We've been busy with so many things that we haven't had much time to relax... Yeah. I hope today will be a fun day. "I wonder what's keeping her?" But Sofia, the most important person, still hasn't shown up. "A date means you should be on time!" She said something like that, so I'm waiting by the fountain... But it's str

  Chapter 141: Parents Who Can't Let Go {TL: By Creed} "That said, I think I’ll leave for Leafland tomorrow." "What... did you say...!?" Gathered around the dining table for the Ascárt family dinner, when Sofia announced her plans for the future, Edward looked utterly shocked. He seemed incredibly distressed, frozen in place, and his knife and fork fell from his hands. "Oh, is Sofia really going to leave on a journey already?" Emilia, calm as ever, asked this. "Yes. I want to resolve Aisha's situation as quickly as possible." "I see... If that's the reason, then there's no helping it. Tomorrow, I'll see you off..." "...That won't do." "Husband?" "Absolutely not! You cannot leave the house so soon!" For some reason, Edward was angry. No, not just angry; he seemed anxious...? "Why can't I?" "That's because, well... in other words... yes! You need a vacation. You&

  Chapter 140: The Mystery of Aisha {TL: By Creed} "…Hmm?" I woke up to the sunlight streaming in through the window. It seemed like the curtains hadn’t been fully closed, so I could see the bright sky.   Today’s weather was clear.   Yeah, it looks like it’s going to be a good day. "Wait… huh?" The blanket was puffed up.   What’s this? Feeling curious, I lifted the blanket, and… "Suu, suu… mm… kuu…" Curled up in a ball, Aisha was sound asleep, looking comfortable. "When did this happen?" I thought she was sleeping with Sofia…   Maybe she woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and accidentally came back here instead? "…Wafuu…" As I gently patted her head, she made a contented face.   Seeing that expression filled me with a warm, indescribable feeling. Yeah.   I’m Aisha’s father.   And Aisha is my precious daughter.   I reaffirmed that. "That’s why I need to seriously think about what comes next." ―――――――――― &q

  Chapter 139: Looking forward to it! {TL: By Creed} "Yahhoo!" Inside a safe house used by the 'Dawn Alliance,' Lena and Riken were present. Riken had arrived first and was resting in the safe house. Lena arrived a bit later, greeting him with a cheerful demeanor. “You seem to be in a good mood, don't you?” “Yeah, I guess.” “Does that mean the plan was a success?” “Nah. It failed.” “...What?” Riken frowned. Unbothered, Lena took a drink from the cooler and casually sipped it. “Ah, that's refreshing. You always get thirsty after moving around, don’t you?” “What do you mean? Did you fail too?” “Me too? Wait, Riken, you failed?” “...Yes.” Riken nodded, his expression bitter. “I deployed a squad, but they were all defeated.” “What about you?” “Maybe I could have turned things around if I had gone myself... But even then, it would’ve taken time. In that situation, I couldn't afford to stand out too much… Unfortunately, I had to give up on retrieving the materia

  Chapter 138: What is this? {TL: By Creed} That was just because she was half-asleep. It was beyond her control. I’m not particularly bothered, and rather, I was lucky to see such a cute side of her. With that mindset, I somehow managed to calm her down. After that, Isaac was arrested for kidnapping the lord's daughter. There were various procedures to go through and interviews to attend... It wasn’t until the next morning that I was finally freed from dealing with the aftermath of the incident. 'I'm so sleepy...' 'Yeah, after everything that happened and pulling an all-nighter, it’s tough.' I just wanted to go straight back to the inn and collapse onto the bed. But I couldn’t do that. It had gotten so late, Aisha was surely worried. Plus, I had to let Edward and Emilia know that Sofia was safe. 'Shall we go home?' 'Yes.' Holding hands, we headed to Sofia’s house. ―――――――――― "This is…" "What in the world…" When we returned to
