Abduction 42. Guardian of the Home (1)
#A42
“Ugh? “Do you want me to know what your parents do?”
Ronan, who was mowing the lawn in the garden, raised his eyebrows.
Next to him, his son Lanse was standing awkwardly.
“yes. “To be precise, I asked them to experience it together and submit their impressions.”
“I will teach you how to swing a sword, but you are doing something useless. “There was nothing like that in our time.”
Ronan grunted and looked back at Adeshan.
She was watering the flower beds while wearing a wide-brimmed straw hat.
Looking at her skin as smooth and white as porcelain and her unbroken body, I could not believe that she was a married woman who had given birth to two children.
She’s my wife, but she’s amazing.
Adeshan, wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, chuckled.
“You too. It was one of the freshman assignments. I do not remember?”
“Oh, did you? I guess they didn’t tell me because I don’t have parents. Wahahaha!”
“It was a pretty good assignment. “I also helped my father cut fabric, and it reminded me of the good old days.”
“I need to see my father-in-law too… Anyway, I understand. But Lanse, why did you come to me when you could have just followed your mom to work? “It’s not a job that would make you kneel if you were a general in the imperial army.”
Ronan shrugged.
He thought that Adeshan’s job was fifty times more sophisticated and cool than his own.
My job was a field job where attendance was irregular and my hands got dirty.
Of course, the salary was good.
“But my friends are also curious about what my father does.”
“What about friends? I’m sure you’re curious. “My son thought that I was a bitch who scratched his crotch at home… This is sad.”
“A dog, a dog. “I didn’t think like that!”
Lance, who had hit the nail on the head, urgently waved his hand.
Three years after Darman’s kidnapping.
Ranse, who turned 14 this year, was very interested in his father.
Although the misunderstanding that he was incompetent had been resolved for a long time, there was still no idea what Ronan did when he went out and worked.
“Use…it’s annoying. “Can’t I just write that I am the guardian of the family and submit it?”
“Oh really, it’s not a joke!”
“He’s ignoring me. “How important is that?”
It wasn’t a lie that my friends were curious.
In particular, Sensen and Willump, the heroes who saved the world, are often asked what they do on a daily basis, and they cannot answer that they sweep leaves and mow the lawn in the yard.
While Ronan was showing off his annoyance, the girl who was giving water with Adeshan approached Ronan.
“dad. no?”
Daughter of Ronan and Adeshan and younger sister of Ranse.
This was Erin, who entered Phileon last month.
Pure white hair, resembling a savior, was shining in the summer sunlight.
She tilted her head and held onto Ronan’s pants.
“Erin is also curious about what her father does…”
“Oh my, is our princess here?”
The corner of Ronan’s mouth rose to the bottom of his ear.
It was a contrasting attitude to how he treated Ranse.
He lifted Erin up above her head and lowered her repeatedly, and repeatedly pressed his cheek against her soft face.
“Ugh. “Your beard stings!”
“Okay, okay. Erin can’t help but be curious too. “Would you like to go on a field trip with my brother?”
Erin quickly remembered.
After a while, Ronan put down his daughter and ruffled Lance’s hair.
“Okay son. Then, I’ll let you know as soon as work comes up, so I’m waiting. “I’m not sure, but it will take a day or two, so I’ll tell Nabirose in advance.”
“······It’s vacation now.”
“Oh really? For some reason, since you and Erin were both at home, I thought I was refusing to go to school again. “I thought you couldn’t fake blood, but luckily you guys take after your mom.”
Lance was dumbfounded when he saw Ronan laughing.
I had no idea where to start.
Ridiculous insensitivity?
Or the part where the vice principal of the great Phileon Academy is called sister?
Erin, who was released from Ronan’s Hell of Thorns (named by the siblings themselves), ran to Ranse and hugged her.
“Hehe, brother! “Did I do well?”
“okay. the best.”
It looked reminiscent of an adorable flying squirrel.
Unlike Lanse, who was entering puberty, Erin still retained her innocent childishness.
At least in the eyes of Ronan and Adeshan.
Erin, who was hanging on her brother’s neck, whispered softly.
“I know. “Then we should pay a price commensurate with the best performance, right?”
“···what do you want?”
“Three imperial gold coins. Or three kisses on the cheek.”
Lance’s eyes closed tightly.
There was no way for a student to carry a large amount of money, such as gold coins, so there was really only one option.
“Erin. You too are ten years old now. “Can’t it just be once?”
“As long as it’s okay for me to complain of stomachache on the day of the field trip. “For your information, my stomach pain is so bad that I can’t stand it if both my mom and dad don’t take care of me.”

Lance sighed.
For some reason, it seemed like the kid was getting smarter day by day.
Lance, who had been observing the surroundings, ended up kissing her cheek three times.
No one noticed because the movement was done as quickly as a woodpecker.
Erin smiled.
“Hehe, it may be a lack of sincerity, but I’ll give it a special pass.”
“Thank you too… How long are you planning on asking me to carry you?”
“Of course, for life.”
Erin replied and buried her face in Lanse’s back.
She, like her mother, was aiming to become the student council president, and because she had the concept of the perfect young lady at Phileon, she had to pamper herself with this foolish child while her brother was home during vacation.
“Oh, by the way, Sechika is coming too?”
“I haven’t said anything yet. Should I call you?”
“no.”
It was an immediate answer.
Sechika, the eldest daughter of Asher and Marya.
Erin frowned as she recalled the sight of her yesterday.
Unlike Ranse, who had not yet shed her boyish appearance, Sechika was slowly becoming a young lady.
She was wearing light clothes appropriate for the weather, and Lance, who was running errands with her, could not look at her directly.
‘I made a mistake. ‘I shouldn’t have sent you on a school trip.’
It was indescribably pathetic to see him stuttering and looking sideways repeatedly.
Erin added strength to the arm she was hugging.
“Erin would like us to go alone.”
****
smart!
A knocking sound rang out from the garden of the Caravel Mansion.
The gate was so large that even Varen and Jaifa could enter without bowing their heads, and it was dyed red in the setting sun.
Before long, an answer came from beyond the door.
“who are you?”
“The Bald Slayer.”
“Oh, Uncle Ronan?!”
The gate opened immediately.
A girl with bright red hair responded to Ronan with wide eyes.
“long time no see. how have you been doing?”
“I’m always the same.”
It was Sechika, the eldest daughter of the Caravel family.
Ronan tapped her head.
“I don’t think I’ve seen you for only a month, but it’s gone again. “Is your love business going well with Lan Se?”
“W-what are you talking about? Why am I with him…!”
“It wasn’t? The atmosphere was nice when the two of us were together, so I thought we had already seen everything we had to see. “It suits me well.”
“Well, it looks good on you… hmm.”
Sechika’s face turned as red as blush.
She continued speaking, covering the corner of her mouth that was rising arbitrarily with her hand.
“Uncle Ronan is even wilder and cooler today. So what’s going on?”
“I came to see your father. “It’s quiet, but there’s no one else in the house other than you, right?”
“Ah, my mom went to my grandfather’s house with my younger siblings. Dad is in the lab. Would you like me to call you?”
“No, that’s not even necessary. “What the heck.”
“Kyaak!”
Ronan leapt from his spot as soon as he answered.
Sechika, surprised by the sudden action, shrugged her shoulders.
Ronan’s feet landed on the third floor balcony without making the slightest sound.
“wow.”
Sechika was impressed.
It was hard to believe that these were the movements of someone who had left active duty.
Ronan gave her a V and moved to the most corner of the room.
Asher’s lab, which I’ve already visited countless times.
It seemed like they were still experimenting with new mana coming out of the crack in the door.
Ronan gently opened the door.
“Hey, Asher.”
“It’s ambiguous, but I think it’s possible. Right now, there are countless civilizations other than this planet. so···”
Asher was talking to someone.
Because his voice was quite serious, Ronan deliberately did not interrupt him.
On Asher’s desk, the half-body of a boy whom I had seen many times before was floating in a translucent state.
The original Archmage Lorhorn.
After hearing Asher’s explanation, he touched his chin.
“Hmm. It’s definitely not impossible, but let’s research and share a little more about this. “Are you still not interested in the Magic Tower position?”
“You know. I’m not good at dealing with people. “I’m not good at handling things anymore.”
“Actually, I want to honor you however I want, but if I do that, Count Armalen won’t leave me alone. See you next time then.”
“rest.”
The conversation, which was originally at the last minute, ended soon.
Asher let out his hair that was tied back and sighed.
A sunken face, eyes fixed on the night sky.
It was an expression that was truly rare to find in this unlucky genius, something he only made when faced with a difficult problem.
Ronan, who was quietly approaching while hiding his presence, snapped his finger in Asher’s ear.
“Yumma.”
“HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!”
Asher made a strange sound and jumped up from his place.
It was like a cat suddenly doused in cold water.
He managed to calm his pounding heart and wiped away his tears.
“Ro, Ronan?! “When are you here?”
“I just arrived. “You still have the same heart as a rat.”
Ronan chuckled.
It was a side of the great wizard that the world did not know about.
He was said to be a monster who could create mountains and levitate palaces with the snap of a finger, but in his eyes, he was just a foolish hometown friend.
He put his arm around Asher’s shoulder.
“What are you two talking about so intently? “Sounds like old Lorhorn.”
“huh. Well, there’s something I’ve been researching recently…”
Asher trailed off.
Seeing that he was avoiding my gaze, I didn’t know what it was, but it seemed like he wanted to keep it a secret.
Hmm, I was curious, but I can’t help it.
Ronan, shaking off his regret, changed the topic.
“It’s okay if you don’t want to talk. By the way, do you mix preservatives into bread at your house? “How is it that nothing has changed since you attended Phileon?”
“Ahaha, it’s not that bad…”
“No. “Her face is whiter than my daughter’s.”
“Wow. Ha, don’t do it…!”
Ronan poked Asher’s cheek with his finger.
The elasticity of going in and out was not as good as Erin or Lanse.
I’m not a pure-blooded human, so even if that’s the case, what is this bastard?
Asher tied his loose hair back.
“Well, that’s… Basically, when a wizard reaches a certain level, he or she can control aging. “That’s it.”
“that’s right. Old Lorhorn was like that too. “Well, you were at your brightest around that time too.”
“Yes. Because he was in his physical prime. “And if we don’t meet this timing…”
“What if I don’t?”
“My body couldn’t stand it…”
Asher laughed as he looked at the family photo hanging on the wall.
It was a laugh that seemed somehow sad.
The result of Didican’s masterpiece, the camera.
In the photo hung in a large frame, a more mature Marya was smiling brightly, hugging her five siblings.
It was not difficult to understand the meaning.
“Holy shit, is five not enough?”
“Ahaha, maybe we will become six siblings within this year… Are you like this too?”
“We’re not like that, f*ck… I told you, right? “You will be crushed in my chest.”
Ronan looked at Asher with pitiful eyes.
I felt sorry that something I had said as a joke became reality.
For some reason, the guy who eats well seems to be thin.
Asher smiled again while looking at the family photo.
“I’m happy though. “I don’t think you heard me yet. What brings you here?”
“ah. It was a long chat. You’re trying to do something in the south with Orsay, right? “Please put me in there.”
“Southern? Whoa, where were you originally in charge?”
“I finished it yesterday. I don’t know if it’s because it’s an old river, but the spirit is tough. “But since I cut it into pieces, it’ll be okay for a while.”
Asher was dumbfounded after hearing the calm answer.
Ronan was always quick to get things done, but this time he was a bit faster.
Slaughtering away a centuries-old river spirit like eating a cake.
Ronan, who was scratching his head, continued.
“If nothing else, the rabbit-like children were curious about their father’s occupation. “Phileon gave me an assignment to find out what makes a living.”
“Ah, so…! Now that I think about it, it seems like Sechika also received the same assignment?”
“Is that so? Actually, I was the same age as Lanse. then···.”
Ronan was lost in thought.
These days, when I look at Lansena Erin, I am reminded of my own childhood.
Is it because I’m around the same age as when I started my adventure in Nimborton?
As he was savoring the memories, he opened his mouth.
“······hey. Asher.”
“Yes?”
“It already happened like this. Shall we regain the dignity of the head of the family together?”
