Part 2 Episode 123
Eastern
It was clear that Hermann was still putting up with a lot because of Isabelle.
No matter how much he did it for the sake of his family, it wasn’t enough that he left his pregnant wife behind, and it wasn’t until long after the child was born that he returned to the castle.
There’s no way I wouldn’t be angry as a father.
‘… It’s actually strange that he doesn’t get angry.’
It was time for Elric to blame himself like that.
Hermann’s hands relaxed.
“Well, it’s done. “It’s not like I don’t know what you’ve done.”
“yes?”
“I have already been contacted by the Neresta siblings and know everything. “Thank you for coming back safely.”
If something had happened, my daughter might have been even more sad.
Herman added his words and patted Elric on the shoulder.
Thanks to this, Elric felt like his tension was relieved.
Only then did I begin to see the surrounding scenery properly.
Familiar and unfamiliar faces crossed each other.
But no matter how much I rolled my eyes, the person I wanted to see the most was not there.
“Where is Isabelle?”
“Where do you think it is?”
Hermann shrugged his shoulders and said.
“Why don’t you come up and go?”
“thank you.”
Elric quickly said hello and headed to his and Isabelle’s room.
* * *
“Whoa… !”
Before visiting.
Elric took a long breath before knocking on the door.
I ran forward one step at a time with the desire to see my wife.
Maybe it was because of guilt, but my hands didn’t move easily.
What should I say?
Should I apologize first?
No, should I just hug him silently first?
What should I do to ease Isabelle’s feelings even a little?
Questions with unknown answers made Elric hesitate even more.
But wait for a while.
Wow!
Elric slapped his cheeks hard with both hands to come to his senses, his face full of determination.
“… I don’t know. “If you scold me, I’ll just get scolded.”
All he had to do was think of it as his own karma and get scolded.
smart!
“Isabel, are you inside? Are you going in?”
After a light knock, Elric carefully opened the door and went inside.
“… .”
One corner. The back of Isabelle sitting facing the wall caught my eye.
There is a picture taken with Elric on the desk in front of him.
There were piles of newspaper articles related to him all around him.
When he thought that Isabel had been waiting for him, just looking at them, his heart ached even more.
Because I could feel how difficult it must have been for Isabel from the back.
“move… .”
“You’re finally here.”
A cold voice pierced Elric’s chest.
In particular, the word ‘finally’ was particularly sharp.
“Well, that…” !”
No matter how much I racked my brain, I couldn’t think of what to say.
He walked right next to the chair, got down on one knee, and said,
“I’m sorry, Isabel. I have a lot… .”
“I’m glad you’re safe.”
“… !”
Elric’s eyes widened.
I thought I would get scolded, but I didn’t expect to hear such worried comments.
“Do you know how worried I was because we lost contact at some point? “I was so bored alone.”
Isabelle glared at Elric as she said that.
It meant never leaving it this long again.
“Don’t worry, I won’t do that again.”
Elric stretched out his arms and hugged her.
“I miss you.”
“me too.”
Warm body temperature.

Warm tone of voice.
Elric could finally feel the strong feeling that he had returned home.
-A family must exist for a family to exist, understand?
My sister Hayes’ words came to mind again.
“More than that, aren’t you curious about our child?”
Then Isabel asked that after a long hug.
There’s no way you’re not curious.
What he wanted to see as much as Isabel was his own child.
She gently turned her body to show the child lying comfortably in the baby bed.
‘Small… .’
Elric opened the wrapping cloth slightly, and his entire attention was captured by the very small creature.
“You should hug me, right?”
Isabel carefully handed the child to Elric.
I felt scared for a moment.
Can I hug such a tiny child?
But before he knew it, the cloth was coming into his arms.
Elric carefully handed over the child with all his attention.
“… .”
Parr-
His eyes trembled slightly.
The daughter was wrapped in a thick cloth, with only her face exposed.
Her eyes were bright green, and her slightly grown hair had a distinctive blonde color.
Even if you lose it anywhere on the continent, you can still find it.
Because anyone could see that he had Mervinger’s characteristics.
It didn’t feel real.
It seems like only yesterday I decided to start a family, but I’m already a father of one child.
“Isn’t it fascinating?”
“… huh.”
Elric’s voice as he answered while looking intently into the child’s eyes was somehow choked up.
As I was doing that, a strange feeling seemed to arise.
I feel like all the fatigue I have accumulated from all the hard work has gone away.
No matter how excellent the spring seal was, it didn’t seem like it was as good as looking at a child.
『Wow!』
If only I hadn’t heard a strange noise right next to me.
It certainly would have continued to be that way.
A place where I slightly turned my irritated gaze.
Mephisto was gagging, clutching his neck with both hands.
[…] What are you doing so dirty? There is nothing I can’t do when I have a child in front of me.]
Mephisto heard Elric’s words and glared at him sharply.
『Then does the king look okay? There is a Mervinger in front of me who looks exactly like you!』
[What does that mean? Then it’s even cuter.]
“what? cute?”
[sure. Then isn’t it?]
Mephisto snorted.
“under! I inherited your blood, so it must be so!』
[what?]
『Just wait a moment. Because you will be returned to that child just as you treated the king.』
[What is personality? There is no one who is as peaceful and kind to everyone as I am.]
『Shameless loser.』
[And what kind of thing would you say to a child who is only one year old? A person called uncle.]
『… what?”
For a moment, Mephisto froze as if he had heard something he couldn’t hear.
[Uncle, can I do that or not?]
『Ahh! Argh! that word! Can’t you take back what you said right away!』
Mephisto was so embarrassed that he seemed to have forgotten to use the expression ‘Born King’, which he always used.
Elric grinned.
[Uncle, then. It’s the same Mervinger, right? My baby, should we say hello to the uncle we are meeting for the first time? I haven’t slept in a while!]
Elric grabbed the child’s arm and shook it as if saying hello, speaking in a child-like tone as if asking what was surprising.
『You, you, you… ! this person… !』
Mephisto held the back of his neck, unable to speak properly. My blood pressure seemed to be boiling.
It was a moment when I thought Elric was being sued.
Crack!
‘… ‘Crack?’
With an ominous sound, my index finger suddenly became hot.
A place where you lower your head.
My daughter was holding Elric’s index finger and bending him backwards.
“Kyaa, kyaaa!”
The way he was laughing like he was having fun was so cute that I can’t express it in words.
“Now, just a moment! What kind of strength… !”
Cute things were cute, and painful things were painful.
Unable to use his strength for fear of hurting the child, Elric looked restlessly at Isabelle for help.
But Isabel only laughed mischievously.
“Oh, maybe it’s because he takes after his father, but he’s a bit strong.”
Isabel said with a light smile.
It was truly a good thing.
Isn’t it good to be born with talent for anything?
“ha ha ha… . I definitely inherited my father-in-law’s blood. But, I can’t tell you to let go of this… peel?”
No matter how much I try to comfort the child, I just can’t seem to let him go.
Now he was waving his index finger randomly as if he was having a lot of fun.
Cry! Cry!
So I wanted Isabel to help me somehow.
“Hehe… well?”
Isabelle just smiled, resting her chin in confusion.
It means do it yourself.
It was clear that there was subtle revenge involved.
“… .”
In the end, Elric had to swallow his tears internally.
Yes, I am a sinner, I am a sinner.
『Kuchelhelhel! Didn’t the king tell you? You will receive karma! Shame on you!』
Mephisto burst into laughter as if he was delighted.
* * *
Ssam juice, Ssam juice.
The child was fast asleep, as if he had never played with Elric’s index finger.
While being held tightly in Isabel’s arms.
Seeing her sleeping like that is truly like an angel… .
But how on earth does such a small body come out with such strength?
It was around this time that I felt some strange feelings.
“What is the child’s name? “Did you build it?”
He quietly looked at the child and asked.
“We couldn’t build it yet because we wanted to build it together. “I was so upset because someone came late and only called me by my first name.”
“… .”
Isabelle spoke in a playful tone, but Elric still felt like a dagger was stabbed in his chest.
He said, trying to smile.
“I’m sorry, but don’t you have a name in mind?”
“Why not?”
Isabel began to blurt out various names as if she had been waiting.
“I thought about Olivia, telling her to grow up like an upright tree, and I also thought about Charlotte, who told me to live freely and not be tied down by family like us… .”
In addition, various other names emerged.
Camilla, Scarlett, Nova, Stella, etc.
As he watched Isabel listing names with a happy expression, Elric couldn’t help but scratch his cheek with his index finger.
“ah! “I also thought about the name Leah.”
“That’s good too.”
“Which one?”
“Leah. Leah Mervinger.”
When Elric said the name, a bright smile appeared on Isabelle’s lips.
“Right? “That’s the best name, right?”
Apparently, she also liked the name Lia the most.
Leah, Leah.
Isabel muttered that and looked at her sleeping daughter.
Looking at that.
Elric wondered if his parents felt this way too.
‘I wish I could ask.’
He swallowed his bitterness and had an endless conversation with Isabelle.
Kyaaa-
As if to soothe Elric’s heart, three baby dragons circled above his head.
Wizard who swallowed talent
