After Story. People Whom Even The Legend Cannot Win Against (2)

"Haa〜"

"Fufu, happiness will run away if you sigh that much, you know?"

Watching me sigh deeply, Alexia says something like that to me. But, it's inevitable, isn't it. I may not have been able to be present when he was born, but if my own son takes such a cold attitude towards me. This three years period is detestable.

"That is right. Besides, both Allen and Elene will understand!"

Chrona places the food in front of me while saying. This child is also currently 14 years old. Her look is gradually becoming mature. Even now, she's wriggling her ears happily, and her tail is also lightly swinging back and forth.

"Will theyy〜?"

I didn't think I'd be so uneasy dealing with children. I wasn't afraid even when I dealt with the Demon God, even when I stood before death, but I could die if I'm told 'I hate you!' or something by my children. I wonder if this is how a parent feels.

"Well, please take your time. Those children are going to be confused because Lei came back when they had been hearing that they don't have an Otou-san until now"

I guess that's also true. They're going to be confused if the person they were told is dead suddenly appears huh. But, I wanna quickly dote on them.

"Well then, I'll be going"

Alexia, who finished eating, kissed my cheek and ended up going out of the dining hall. Perhaps they had been on standby right outside of the room, people dressed as civil servants rush over to Alexia's side. I suppose she has a lot of things to do since she's the Queen.

I ended up becoming a complete NEET. I ended up becoming a gigolo who's supported by my brides. I've gotta do something. In any case, I guess I'll go around the town and have a look.

"Chrona, thanks for the meal. I'm going out for a bit"

"Ah, understood, Lei-sama"

I kiss the forehead of Chrona, who tidies up the tableware I finished eating off of for me, and leave the dining hall.

......somehow, the gazes around are painful. Especially from the soldiers. Well, it's inevitable when it comes down to it since the Kings of every country are pretty much the only ones who know the fact that I came back.

From the eyes of people who don't know my origin, I'm a suspicious man who's staying over in the Royal Palace all of a sudden after all. Furthermore, the Queens themselves are personally taking custody of me.

As for why we aren't saying it, it's because I ended up tremendously famous. I was famous within the Nanor Kingdom 3 years ago, but now, I come up in various stories as the Legend who ended the war.

All kinds of things from the academy's textbooks to novels and stage plays. My name has spread to every corner of the continent thanks to that. Alexia was laughing, saying that it's to the extent that there are fakes of me popping up.

It'll probably end up turning into a major chaos if we say that such an individual came back, so we decided not to say it. We're having the people who know me keep quiet about it as well.

It seems that it'll be when we hold the wedding ceremony that we announce that I came back. They say that it'll be a secret until then.

As such me was walking inside the Royal Castle built in the Royal Capital of the old Domain, the current Runwalker Kingdom, I came out to a garden. Elene was playing in the garden, chasing the butterflies flying around the flowers.

By her side, Roy was standing with the other soldiers, and Aerith, Priscilla, and Kana were sitting at the terrace part and watching joyously.

"Ah. Lei! Over here!"

I went to the terrace as called by Aerith. The maids that have never seen me before pry about what kind of relationship we have, and the soldiers glare at me sharply.

"Good morning, Lei-san"

"Morning, Lei-kun"

"Aah, morning, Aerith, Priscilla, Kana. Everybody sure is early"

I go and greet everybody. Kana no longer called the me who came back Nii-san. It looks like it's because she completely broke off with the previous world. It does feel slightly disappointing as well, but I won't say anything since it's something Kana decided.

"That is because Lei-kun wakes up late, you know? A glossy Alexia-san went in the Royal Palace's direction with the civil servants just now after all"

"You'd been doing it first thing in the morning, right?"

Uu, the stares of the three of them are painful. All I could do was smile awkwardly. Over there

"Mama, Mama! Grand-ojisan gave me sweets!"

, my beloved daughter, Elene, runs over towards Aerith. But, the fact that she deliberately avoids the me who's nearby and goes all the way to Aerith......makes me wanna cry.

"Oh my, that's great. Did you say thank you to Grand?"

"Un!"

"Hahaha! Aerith-sama, no need to bother about that. I gave it to her on my whim after all"

As I was looking sadly at Aerith and Elene, a gold-haired young man showed up. I initially thought it was an elderly person because he's called 'Grand-ojisan', but he's actually about slightly older than us huh.

He's wearing this country's soldier's clothes for his outfit, but it's glamorous compared to the other soldiers.

"My bad, for always troubling you, Grand"

"No no. I am doing it on my whim after all"

Grand says while laughing, but he's obviously bloody conscious about Aerith. This prick, he's bloody aiming for Aerith huh. As I glared at him, thinking, 'I ain't gonna hand her over no matter what!'

"Grand-ojisan, let's playy!"

, a smiling Elene says while looking up at Grand. Uu, even though she doesn't show such a smile to me. However, Grand makes a troubled-looking smile

"Elene-sama. I would very much like to do that, but my apologies, I have to go to work soon......"

"......boo"

, and turns her down. Elene then pouts at Grand's words. Alright, I shall offer myself up here.

"Elene, I'll play with you instead!"

When I crouch and say that at Elene's eye level

"I don't wanna!"

I got rejected......oh no, I'm gonna cry. Elene carries on to hide in Grand's shadows and glares over at me. It can't be helped. I guess I've got no choice but to use my trump card. Though I'm not that good with Earth Magic.

"Mini Golem!"

I place my hand on the ground and activate Earth Magic. Because of the fact that I activated Magic, Grand releases his killing intent over at me, but something of that extent is that of a gentle breeze. I'm not even bothered. However, after I ignored him and activated it

"You bastard, it is prohibited to activate Magic inside the Royal Palace!"

, Grand got mad at me. When I glance over in Aerith's direction

"This person is fine"

, she says. Grand looked like he wanted to say something, but because Kana and Priscilla nodded as well, he reluctantly kept quiet. However, he glares at me to make sure I don't do anything dangerous. Well, I'll ignore him.

When I continued as it is, the dirt on the ground rapidly changed shape and turned into the figures of 10 mini-people.

"Ooh"

And then, over here, Elene got interested. The mini-people, they go all the way before Elene, line up side by side, and bow snappily. Immediately after, Elene also comes out from behind Grand and bows snappily. Oh no, how adorable!

Alright, Otou-san is gonna get serious! The mini-people divide into two groups of five, and I make each of them hold a weapon. And then the five people go up against each other and start fighting.

I match the mini-people's movements and recreate the effects with Magic. I show Elene a flashy battle with Lightning Magic's electric strike, Fire Magic's explosion, blowing things away with Wind Magic, and using Water Magic.

Of course, I don't forget to put up a magic barrier so that nothing happens to Elene even by the off chance.

"Ooh! Oh, oooh!"

Elene's eyes are sparkling, and she looks to be having a ton of fun. The maids around are also watching absorbedly. Aerith and company, and Roy, who knows my origin, were also watching joyously.

And then, I recreate my final battle next. I recreate a single mini-person along with the Four Gods in Mini Golem size. Ooh, ain't too shabby if I have to say so myself.

Aerith and company are making a sourish expression since I've talked about my final battle and they know about it, but Elene is awfully excited. It's for Elene's sake. I'd like you to forgive me.

The mini-person acrobatically dodges the attacks of the Four God golems that come attack one after another......do golems move this well? When I casually raised my head and looked while thinking something like that, there was the sight of a disgruntled-looking Grand. What?

"Mini-person-san, do your bestt!"

Like she knows what's going on, Elene cheers the mini-person on energetically. Alright, I'll show you the mini-person going all-out!

"......that's going too far, Lei......"

Aerith's taken-aback voice is audible from behind, but I ignore it. I activate a mini Lightning Heavenly Garment on the mini-person! It's the birth of the mini person clad in lightning. I materialise a huge number of mini-weapons around the mini-person, make the mini-person equip and release them. And then

"Kyahー! Mini-person-san wonn!"

The mini-person defeated the Four Gods and won. Elene throws her hands up happily at the fact the mini-person won. The maids clap their hands with sparkling eyes as well, but Grand and the soldiers' complexion were turning pale.

Well, if it's the mini-person with Lightning Heavenly Garment just now, it feels like it'd be able to defeat Grand after all.

"How was it, Elene? Otou-san, is amazing, right?"

"Un! Amazing, Amazing! Show me moree!"

I tried, nonchalantly, mixing in 'Otou-san', but the excited Elene didn't realise. She carries on to badger me for the next one.

That's why, I manipulated the Mini Golems and showed Elene plays until she got sleepy. Elene so adorable.
