  Chapter 250: Secretly {TL: By Creed} Sofia was just about to enter the workshop when she froze at the sound of a conversation coming from inside. ‘You don’t need to take this whole filial piety thing so seriously. If you really feel you have to, just letting me see a grandchild someday would be more than enough.’ ‘W-wait, a grandchild…?’ ‘What, you saying you’re not even thinking about it?’ ‘N-no… It’s just… I-I do think… someday…’ Hearing that exchange— “———!!!?” —Sofia instinctively stopped in her tracks and, for no reason at all, ducked behind a corner to hide. Her face felt like it was on fire when she pressed her hands to it. If she looked in a mirror now, it would surely be bright red. No doubt her ears were red too. ‘N-no… It’s just… I-I do think… someday…’ Fate’s words burned themselves into her ears, refusing to leave her mind. It was as though they were sinking deep into the back of her brain. “F-Fate… s-so that’s how you… really feel…” Of course, it...

  Chapter 249: Please come to the village {TL: By Creed} Aisha is the princess of the Beastkin village. Snow is the god of the Beastkin. That shocking truth had come to light… But to me, Aisha is still just Aisha. Snow is still just Snow. That they are an important part of my family hasn’t changed. Just because they turned out to be incredible beings doesn’t mean I’ll treat them any differently. I intend to continue treating them as family, just as before. And it’s the same for Sofia and Licorice. Though they looked surprised at first, they soon calmed down and went back to normal. "About what comes next…" Claudia-san spoke up as she sipped her tea. "I’m sorry to trouble you, but… could I ask you to come to our village, just once?" "To the Beastkin village?" "Yes. We want to report that we’ve found the princess and the divine beast… and also, to properly thank you." "…You know, Aisha and Snow are our family." Sofia said t...

  Chapter 248: She was actually a great dog {TL: By Creed} "Fortunately, we were able to repel the attackers. However, in the confusion at the time, the princess went missing…" Claudia wore a pained expression, as if recalling those events. It was clear she felt deeply sad — and probably incredibly frustrated too. Her hands, resting on the table, clenched tightly. “I wanted to set out immediately to search for the princess, but the village had suffered great damage… And since we didn’t want the same thing to happen again, we decided to relocate the village… Up until now, I haven’t been able to go looking for her. I am truly sorry!” Claudia lowered her head to Aisha, looking utterly frustrated. The sudden apology made Aisha flinch in surprise. But Claudia’s sincerity came through clearly, and she didn’t try to run away. Still hiding behind me, she peeked out and said softly: “…It’s okay. I don’t really mind.” With those words, she tried to comfort Claudia. “Princes...

  Chapter 247: Princess {TL: By Creed} About a week had passed… I’d been wondering, "When is the beastman my father knows going to come?" — and then, that day came. At last, the moment I’d been waiting for arrived. "Fate, they’re here." While I was practicing swings in the backyard, my father poked his head out from the workshop and said that. Which meant… "I’ll get ready right away!" I went back inside the house and wiped my sweat with a towel. After washing my face to feel refreshed, I changed into casual clothes. With all that done, I hurried to the living room. And then… "My lady, thank goodness you’re safe…!" "U-uh…?" A beastman woman knelt before Aisha, overcome with emotion. And Aisha, utterly bewildered by the woman’s behavior. That sight greeted me as I walked in, and… "…What’s going on?" I couldn’t help but blurt that out. ―――――――――― "…I apologize for earlier." After a moment, the woman ca...

  Chapter 246: Cry as much as you want {TL: By Creed} 「……」 Night. Licorice stood on the terrace of the Stuart estate, staring absentmindedly at the night sky. Tonight was relatively warm, but even so, Snowlake was a frigid region. The night wind was icy enough to chill to the bone, and her breath came out white. Still, Licorice kept gazing at the sky. Someone gently draped a coat over her shoulders. It was the fairy-sized winter coat they had bought before setting out on their journey. “…Ah.” “What are you doing here, all by yourself?” When she turned around, Sofia was there. It seemed she was also the one who had brought the coat. “Mm… no reason. I just felt like it, I guess.” “Were you thinking about your friend?” “…Yeah, pretty much.” Licorice, unusually quiet, began to speak slowly. “I thought I’d already come to terms with my feelings about Nonoka… but, you know, I really didn’t expect to hear about her like this.” “I understand. I’m always surprised too,...

  Chapter 245: Grandfather and Grandchild {TL: By Creed} "Ahh..." Age was troubled. He was talking to a beastman client for the sake of his son. That part wasn't a problem. The deal hadn't been finalized yet, but the beastman seemed reasonable, so Age believed things would likely go smoothly. So, until she arrived, he just needed to carry on with his usual work. However... Staaare... "Oof." Two pairs of eyes were fixed on Age from the corner of the forge. They belonged to Aisha and Snow. Whether they were interested in Age himself or in the blacksmithing, they stared intently. Yet they made no move to speak. They simply watched from a set distance, doing nothing else. "...What's going on?" Age paused his work and called out to them. "!?""Oof!?" Aisha and Snow jumped in perfect sync, startled, and scurried deeper into the forge. But they didn’t leave the forge entirely... After a short while, they returned ...

  Chapter 244 Sister {TL: By Creed} “Ahh… uhh?” In my arms was my little sister, Lutecia. She was reaching out her hands toward me. She moved around a lot, which made things difficult. I had to be careful not to drop her… And also make sure she didn’t get fussy, so I had to hold her just right… “Ugh… babies are tough.” “Hehe, do your best, big brother.” Mom smiled warmly at me. While she was cooking, I offered to look after Lutecia… But it turned out to be a lot harder than I expected. She seemed so delicate that I got really nervous, thinking I couldn’t afford to make a single mistake. “Uuu…” “Whoa!?” Suddenly, Lutecia’s eyes welled up with tears. W-why!? I didn’t do anything, I swear! “You can’t do that, Fate,” Mom said, giving me advice while continuing to cook. “Babies are really sensitive to people’s emotions. If you’re feeling anxious, the baby will feel anxious too. That’s why you have to stay calm and confident.” “Calm and confident…” Even if she s...
