Mornings in a new environment are always unfamiliar.
This applies not only to going to unfamiliar places, but also to returning home after a long trip.
“ah.”
Elric looked blankly at the ceiling and thought.
That’s right, I came back to Wibin.
I missed and got used to the feel of the soft bed, the light scent of wood in the room, the warm smell of the blanket covering it, and the sunlight pouring through the curtains.
It was only then that reality began to rear its head.
“Umm… .”
Elric woke up with a small sigh.
As I dry wash my face, I remember what happened the previous day and my face turns red.
It was only now that I remembered how I had been crying and hugging the villagers.
The only thing that comes to mind is joy.
I’m really happy that I came back here.
It was that kind of moment.
“My lord.”
Rdio came in.
With his usual smile on his face, he closed the curtains.
“Hehe, how can it be that the morning is this slow for someone who lived on the battlefield? “You need to wake up quickly.”
“I did it because I was tired. What are you talking about, Lord? Just call me Mr. Master like before.”
“That can’t happen anymore.”
R.D.O.’s smile bloomed brightly.
“Aren’t you really the lord of Weibin?”
Elric’s eyes opened wide at that.
It soon folded in an arc, and at that moment, Elric laughed out loud.
“Anyway, it’s sly.”
Elric got up, finished washing his face lightly, and went down to the first floor.
Tyria was in front of the restaurant.
“good morning.”
Elric replied that she was so pretty when she smiled.
“Good morning. “Did you sleep well last night?”
“I think I slept the best I’ve had in a while.”
It seemed like he wasn’t just saying it.
A thought occurred to me again.
Tyria seems to really like a regular life.
It was inevitable that Tyria would always show a little discomfort at the mess on the battlefield.
Should I say that there was a wariness reminiscent of a cat driven out of its territory?
However, Elric did not bother to mention that fact.
It seemed like it would hurt Tyria’s feelings for no reason.
“Let’s eat first.”
“yes.”
Breakfast at the Portmans.
Toast, bacon, and fries, which had not changed since my father’s time, were on the plate.
Suddenly, I realized that it was a suitable menu to wake up the stomach while having a light chat.
“house owner? Why are you doing this? “Suddenly dazed.”
“… no.”
Elric grinned.
“But what are you going to do today? “I haven’t been able to take care of the estate for a while, so I won’t be busy.”
“I’m just going to do some simple paperwork. “It seems like there was no major agenda.”
“Then the remaining time… ?”
Tyria laughed a little mischievously.
“I am spending it with the head of the family.”
It was a rather pretentious invitation, so Elric smiled and nodded.
“That sounds like a good idea.”
The meal ended like that.
*
As soon as he arrived at the office, Elric felt a sense of déjà vu.
This is because I vividly remember learning the job in such a difficult time when it was still awkward with Tyria.
However, the good thing is that nothing has changed here either.
The scenery of the summer wheat field seen through the window, the bird’s eye view of people’s five senses and the warmth of the sun at once is truly a welcome sight.
At that moment, what caught Elric’s eyes were the children running around the village.
The smile on his face while holding a wooden sword carved from wood is truly bright.
“Aren’t the children so cute?”
Tyria asked.
Did she see the same scene?
Elric nodded, and at that moment, he felt the déjà vu of breakfast again.
It would be called enlightenment.
‘ah.’
The office was designed so that you could see the children playing outside the mansion.

My father, he worked in that kind of position.
The second time today.
I had no idea why something like that suddenly started to appear to me.
Feeling awkward, Elric rubbed his neck.
What does it matter now?
I erased the thought from my mind.
“Let’s try to finish the work quickly.”
Elric spoke less.
*
As Tyria assured, the work was completed in less than an hour.
At that time, Elric came out to the garden of the mansion and entered the flower garden where the flowers that had opened their buds were sitting lightly.
“… “You’ve already grown this much.”
“Because we had one season.”
Tyria squatted down and swept the flower with the tip of her index finger.
A small smile was on the corner of her mouth, and it made Elric smile.
Likewise, as we squatted down, Tyria chattered about things about flowers.
The clear and quiet voice always put my mind at ease whenever I heard it.
Thanks to that, I didn’t have a bad time.
I spent some time roughly agreeing with what she said.
The feeling of déjà vu came again.
‘… A flower garden.’
The flower garden was originally an empty lot.
There was barely any dirt or weeds, so when I was young, I always ran around here and got myself dirty.
Suddenly I raised my head.
A flower garden also existed under the office window.
Elric’s appreciation never ceased.
*
Why on earth is it like this today?
Finally, Elric began to have questions about him.
I had long since erased my feelings for my father.
Now I couldn’t even decide whether it was good or bad.
Anyway, how great would it be if I thought of Wibin after the day I returned to the battlefield and never once did I think of my father.
The legacy he left behind was still sealed and not received.
Probably, if I hadn’t had concerns like today, I would have kept that property sealed forever.
Considering the money earned through kasha, the legacy was not really necessary.
But now I’m having all kinds of strange thoughts.
‘My father… .’
Think about something you’ve never really thought about.
He recommended that we always eat breakfast at the same place.
The menu is simple snacks.
There was silence that hovered over the table, and it was never broken.
What happened afterward was completely different from each other.
He was always out and about, causing accidents, and his father never left his office.
It was an office with a large window that you would definitely find if you were nearby.
That was strangely annoying.
It planted a feeling of discomfort in my chest.
What should we say about the identity of this?
After thinking for a moment, Elric soon made a decision.
‘Now that I think about it, I never went there.’
I haven’t been to my father’s tombstone since the day I first returned home.
Elric decided to go there after a long time.
*
I went to the cemetery alone.
It was because I thought that if I told Tyria without sorting out my own feelings, I might end up making her worry too much.
Take a carriage ride to the highest hill in Wivin.
Under the shade of the leafy tree at the top.
“… It’s still the same. Well, there’s no way it wouldn’t be the same.”
His father’s tombstone stood still, looking down at Wibin.
At that moment, Elric felt the emotions that had been fluttering inside him all day surge.
As I walked up to the tombstone and sat down on my butt, I almost burst out laughing.
“It seems like I’m looking for it after almost a year.”
Why am I saying this?
It was something I didn’t understand.
“I don’t think you’ll be upset that I don’t visit you often. just… “We did that, right?”
Although they were bound by blood, they had never seen each other fully.
No, considering that it ended up being a bad relationship, we had a worse relationship than anyone else.
I know that.
Nevertheless, Elric pursed his lips.
Because the words still linger inside.
Elric mumbled meaningless words for a while, then asked.
“you are… .”
It was a word that did not come out often.
“… What thoughts did you live with? While I was gone.”
It was a question of feelings that I had never tried to understand.
It was a question about the feeling of being so blinded by resentment that you couldn’t even follow the silhouette.
Only then did Elric realize.
‘Oh, you didn’t even try to find out.’
That he never once tried to understand his father.
That he didn’t think it was important what kind of person he was.
My younger self just tried to think of him as a cold-blooded and ugly father.
The reason I am finally reflecting on that fact is because I know the end of a relationship that was created due to a misunderstanding.
It was because I knew that there were things that would not be known unless they were spoken about.
Elric’s frown frowned.
The misunderstanding with Tyria ended with a happy ending, but this time there was no way to know the true intention.
The person to resolve the misunderstanding was no longer a person of this world.
For no reason, I felt like my insides were boiling.
So I stretched out my hand.
Even though the sunlight was so bright, the monument was so cold that it reminded me of the coldness that had shined on him when he was alive.
It was a moment when I couldn’t help but feel sorry for that fact and had a hard time putting my hands on it.
Fighting-
The end of the tombstone fell off.
Elric’s eyes opened wide.
‘This… .’
Only then did I release the mana and cover the monument.
‘… space?’
The monument had a different space inside.
This means that the stone is not just carved, but has special craftsmanship added to it.
Elric sighed at that fact.
