“So you should come back soon. Your grandfather has an important job to do.”
“No, I won’t. I’ll stay here! Don’t you feel the same way, Sheris-chan?”
“Is great-grandfather leaving already?”
“Look! Sheris-chan says so too!”
“Great-grandfather!”
Pione and Mugen’s grandparents were arguing. Sheris, our daughter, was holding a stuffed animal that her grandfather had probably given her.
Is he here again? He seems to come once a week since Sheris was born, even though he should have a lot of work as a hero in the demon realm.
I couldn’t ignore it and decided to talk to him.
“Did you bring a lot of presents again?”
“Toru! You’re back!”
“Oh, it’s me, Toru-kun. I’m glad you came.”
Ugh, I get chills every time I hear that.
Ever since Sheris was born, they refer to me in a friendlier way. It seems like their focus has shifted to me as they want to see their grandchildren more often.
“Daddy!”
“I’m home.”
I ran to Sheris and hugged her, happy to be reunited with her after several days.
Sheris is my adorable daughter, who has horns on her head similar to those of a pioneer, along with her cute appearance. Although she can be a bit absent-minded at times, she is a good, obedient and affectionate girl.
“I wanted to see Sheris-chan so much that I finished my work and traveled with my old body for a long time to come here. But Pione is giving me a hard time now. Is that acceptable? No, it shouldn’t be.”
“What long journey? You just flew in an airship from the demon realm. I know you used a shortcut in the transfer portal to shorten the time considerably.”
“D–Don’t say it like that!”
His granddaughter’s triumphant attack made the grandfather step back without thinking.
Grandfather flew an airship to where the transfer portal was, then used it to get to the closest city to the airship, arriving much earlier than expected. A combination of blimps and transfer portals. An interesting way to use them.
Kaede seemed to be impressed by the same idea.
“It would be easier to travel between the southern continent and this island if there was a transfer portal. Even if there was a direct transfer portal.”
“I think Grandmother Neze has the knowledge and ability to do that, but she would probably oppose the idea of a direct connection. If the southern exit is lost, the safety of the island would be in grave danger. Even if they build it, they will have to wait and evaluate it for a while.”
The transfer portal is a double-edged sword. It is useful, but also dangerous. There is no guarantee that the other side will not have malicious intentions.
“Let me do it, or I’ll complain to Her Majesty.”
“I highly doubt that Her Majesty will allow such a thing, knowing how serious it is.”
“Go back home. This girl deserves to be with her great-grandparents, can’t you see how much we miss her?”
“I don’t want to. I won’t go.”
As Pione pushed him from behind, the grandfather continued to refuse to leave.
Well, it looks like we’re going to have to tie him up with a rope and send him back to demon territory on an airship. Although he asked us not to send him that way because he gets in a bad mood after saying goodbye to his great-granddaughter.
“Dad, have you been working again?”
“Yes, but I’m done now. It’s time to spend time with everyone.”
“Yay! Then we’ll play a game, I’ll wait for you in the room.”
As Sheris jumped down, she kissed me on the cheek and ran off. I can’t resist my daughter’s cuteness, even if she can be a bit demanding. Thanks to her, my tiredness disappeared in an instant.
“……”
I felt a look and turned around.
The door was slightly ajar and there were eyes staring at me through the crack.

As Sheris hopped down, she kissed me on the cheek and ran away. I can’t resist the cuteness of my daughter, even if she can be a bit demanding. Thanks to her, my fatigue disappeared in an instant.
“……”
I felt a gaze and turned around.
The door was slightly ajar, and there were eyes peering at me through the crack.
“Eli, come here.”
“Father!”
The one who stepped out of the door was a small, young girl. She had big round eyes and a mixture of white and black hair. She had small fox ears that twitched up and down on her head.
However, in her excitement, she stumbled and fell face first to the ground.
Ugh, I wonder if she’s okay…
“Ehehe.”
Eli, with her red nose and teary eyes, smiled and stood up, clutching my legs. I bent down and picked her up in my arms.
“What a brave girl you are, I’m very proud of you… By the way, where’s Fenés?”
“They’re sleeping with Panda.”
Sleeping with Panda? I see they’ve picked up on Frau’s old habit.
Eli rubbed her head against me as if seeking affection. Her little furry tail wagged against my arm.
“Well, how about we talk about adventures while we eat?”
“I want to hear the story about how you met Mom.”
“The story of how I met your mom… Hmm, it’s pretty long.”
“It doesn’t matter, I want to hear it, Father.”
“Hahaha, all right, although it will take me some time.”
This is the story of a desperate warrior on the brink of death who was saved by a fox slave girl.
