When we arrived at the party room, the first thing we did was to pour the cocoa into the hot milk.

Mix the hot milk with the cocoa, and then hold out a mug to the girls who are looking around restlessly.

The sweet scent of cocoa will make them smile and drink it.

Meanwhile, we take off our equipment and change into civilian clothes.

When they are finished, I start talking to them.

"Well, I think your mother will be here in a little while.

The story's opening is me, of course.

Bending my knees, I meet their gaze.

Sitting side-by-side on the sofa, I can't help but feel a little more in my element, but it still feels strange, as if Suela and the others have grown older.

"Well, Helena, how old are you this year?

Have you forgotten that your father turned six years old on the seventh of last month?

"Me too - I turned six the day before yesterday!

"I'm only five years old.

"I'm only five years old.

"Oh, yeah, yeah, that's right.

I asked Helena, who seemed to be the oldest, her age, and I found out the ages of all of them in a chain reaction.

I started with the easiest part of the question, but she was about five or six years old, so I thought she might be a bit younger. I tried to remember my old tone of voice, but I couldn't remember, so I looked at my mother and convinced myself that she was taller than I was.

The more you kneel down and make eye contact, the more you look at each other, the stronger you feel that the child is your own, somehow.

I wonder if Helena has her hair color from Jiro.

You're right. Maria's eyes are senior? I feel a little sleepy.

"I think Kasumi-chan's nose looks like its leader, that it does.

"Really? I think Claire's nose looks more like yours,

Hmmm, do people still look more like their mothers?

I'm not worried about my feelings of seriousness, as I'm judging the children's characteristics at a leisurely pace.

Normally, I would switch my mind with a cigarette or a sigh, but I can't do that in front of the kids.

It's fortunate that the smile is different from an affectionate smile, but it's difficult to know what more to ask, information that any parent should know.

Then, do you know how old your father is?

And even though I knew he was about to be born, I was quite embarrassed to refer to myself kindly as a father.

But I didn't think it was right to use the first person like me or me with a child.

So I decided to use the first person, "father.

Pfft!

I had expected it, but I caught a couple of guys.

OK, I'll close up Kaido and Minami, who were behind me.

Hey!

I put my right hand behind my back and lowered my thumb from top to bottom so that Helena and the others wouldn't see it, and then I heard a scream behind me.

Kaido and Minami's reaction is so sudden that Helena and her friends question it, but they understand when I tell them it's nothing.

They are thinking hard to answer my questions.

If I can see my future age here, I can figure out how many years they've been here.

That should help me return them to you.

And I start to gather information.

"Yeah, and she's what, about 40 years old?

No, I was much younger!

"Uh, my father at the age of five

"Fifty years old!

Yeah, I don't know.

How could you possibly know the exact age of your parents at this age?

Helena tilts her head back, desperately trying to remember.

Her gesture is similar to Suela's.

Maria dismisses Helena's answer, but I wonder if she gets the memorabilia for her pacing.

You're going to be able to find out the best way to make use of your own personal computer.

It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them.

It's heartbreaking to see these girls so despondent that they say they don't understand the consequences of their actions.

So I patted their heads one by one, and just by doing so, their smiles overflowed.

Jiro-san is surprisingly fond of children.

From what I've seen, I'd say that's true.

No, that's not a glimpse of a pedophile, is it?

I don't think I can handle additional sanctions, either.

"I'm not going to pick up your bones, for Christ's sake.

"Za!"?

Kaido, you know what you're doing.

Minami, I was going to make the next training session a hard one, but I think we can take it up a notch.

I've got a chill! Fear! Why not?

Feeling something creepy, Minami is hugging her arms and looking around her in a panic.

I buy the ability to be alert to detect such a disturbing thing, but it's too late.

The instructors are discussing the introduction of homemade training menu with a grin in their minds.

Nan-chan never learns.

Well, that's how they tease my father every time he comes to visit us and set up a training menu.

Kasumi and Claire laughed happily at Minami's reaction, calling it a familiar scene.

I can't do it anymore, calling you by your nickname, Minami.

But~ I was asked to call you Minami-chan too~ only Helena~ we call you Minami-chan by your surname~

"Uh, but

Such sisters (?) Helena complains about the exchange of "I don't know," but it seems to be a bad flag.

"You're going to let your kids call you by your nickname in the future?

"It's pretty bad, considering my age.

"We can't be responsible for the future, that we can't! False accusations, that is!

And Helena wasn't the only one who became distantly unflattered.

Kitamiya and Kaido, as well as Katsu and Amelia, who didn't say what they were doing, looked at the kids and accused Minami of being innocent.

Well, it's not hard to understand both opinions.

The other is the future, at least five years later, Kitamiya and the others are dismayed by Minami's behavior, which she makes the kids call her by her nickname.

You can barely get by with a chan name in your early twenties, but after that, it's all about looks.

And from the current Minami's point of view, it's an attempt and a reputational damage.

I can understand why you want to scream and deny it like that.

The girls seem to be enjoying watching such a familiar exchange.

Now, it's good that the atmosphere is starting to get pleasant.

The girls from the future, Helena, a dark elf girl like Suela, Maria, a vampire girl like Memoria, Kasumi, a fallen angel like Himik, and Claire, a demon like Ms. Evia.

All of those children are my children.

I was confused at first, but now I'm not in that much trouble.

The nervousness I had been feeling is not so much now, but more a part of me is genuinely worried.

The only time I've seen that interaction is with a certain cat-shaped robot in a story, such as time travel.

If you think about it in reality, the act of traveling through time is not so easy that it can be solved with the word "difficult".

Then it's natural to feel uneasy about whether or not you'll be able to bring them home.

With my anxiety at my side, the girls happily watch Minami and the others making noise.

The sound of chimes echoing in such a space.

Oh, it's this magician!

"Oh, this magic power is definitely my mother!

"Hmmm... I don't know, I don't know, but if there are two of them, I wonder if their mother is there too?

I think you are.

At the sound of the chime, the children jumped up from the couch and ran to the front door.

Oh, hey!

Suela and her friends are on high alert for various reasons. You should not let these girls charge in front of you, so you get up and go to the front door, but you are unable to catch up with the surprisingly quick movements of the children.

Oh, it's Ka-San!

"Mother, I've been waiting for you!

""........."

The front door was opened by Kasumi and Claire, who were leading the way, and we saw the two jumping at Evia and Himik.

And while Himik is still recognizable, it's the first time I've ever seen Evia's horrified expression.

You're going to be able to have a great time with this one, as well as the physical ability of the two of them, as well as the fact that they couldn't possibly catch a child, so they simply held her in their arms and didn't shift their gaze from the child.

It's more accurate to say that there is no sternness in his eyes, but rather confusion.

What is the situation?

Ask for an explanation.

And so it is with Suela and Memoria.

Helena is hugging Suela's growing belly, fearfully touching her belly, and Maria is hugging Memoria, pressing her face to hers like a cat.

Maria is hugging Memoria like a cat, pressing her face against hers.

The two do not show their disgust at the scene, but rather they are confused and accept it with open arms.

......... I want to hear it.

I'm the only one who wants to hear it from them.

Scratching my head, I lead them inside, and the party room, which holds nearly three times as many people as usual, feels a bit cramped, even though it's large.

But that's not the case.

With the girls smiling and hugging their mothers, you can finally proceed with the conversation.

You're going to be able to find out the best way to get the most out of your own personal life.

"Mmm, do you want to hear it first, Lord?

But surely it would be easier to get that out of the way first?

Gathering up tables and couches, they set up a place where they can all discuss the topic at first, and then Himik and Evia speak with conviction.

"Definitely. . this girl is my daughter.

"Me too. I'm sure of it, Lord.

"And I'm sure those two guys wouldn't be wrong either.

These two men are the devil and the angel.

And demons and angels can sense and appraise souls.

That's probably why they were so surprised on their doorstep.

That's why I checked the prerequisites first.

This is not a man-made ploy that happened in the present day as we had originally thought, but something else that caught the children of the future up in it.

?

"????

Kids who can't understand why you would ask such a question naturally have a question mark in their heads.

I'm sorry for the kids, but let them swallow it for now.

And once we determine that they are the four biological children, we have a move to make.

You know, this is really hard to say.

Get up and get on your knees for the children at each mother's side.

And children are sensitive to the air around them.

They are quite sensitive to the signs of something strange, dangerous, and disturbing.

These children are no exception, and they are beginning to notice, though they may not understand, that something strange is going on.

Squeeze your mother's clothes and wait for me to say something.

"I think you guys are from the future.

And I'll be the first to tell them loud and clear: "Mirai~?

"Mirai~?

What do you mean? You know what I mean, Helena?

"......... future means tomorrow, so, let's see.

"Does that mean we're here tomorrow?

Children discuss with each other from behind their mothers' backs, but they don't seem to understand much.

It would be difficult to ask a child of five years old to understand and explain the principle of time.

It's a little difficult, you see. Your father is, well, your father, but he's not your father yet.

And also difficult to chew and explain.

The children are even more confused by my explanation.

It's almost as if the word "daddy" is going to cause a gestalt collapse.

How am I going to explain it?

It is necessary to explain to them if we can't continue with the current situation.

But just because you explain it doesn't mean they will understand.

This kind of explanation would cause even more confusion.

"Huh, what are you doing. Don't scare the kids.

When I'm at a loss to explain, Evvia quickly picked up Claire in her arms and smiled softly at the girl who was anxiously holding back her tears, and said to her, "Don't think about it.

It's not a difficult thing to think about. If you don't know, then just don't know. You're my daughter and this place is like a dream. Sleep and wake up and tomorrow will come. Now just think about enjoying this place.

"Yes, yes, okay mother!

I felt maternal in her gestures.

I felt a burning sensation in my cheeks at the startling gesture.

"Yes, you know. There's nothing wrong with these kids. You're definitely my child, it just came a little early.

"There is no doubt. A child from the future has come to visit you. If you think about it, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Mm! I guess the bottom line is that you just need to spend more time with your daughter now!

Evvia's words seemed to relax Suela and the others, and they began to gently stroke the children's heads.

So, we can't continue like this. Now, my daughter.

"Yes!

"Introduce yourself properly, okay?

"Yes! I'll take care of it!

With such an air flow, Evvia easily pulls out the information that I have been waiting for, and she easily pulls out the information I have been waiting for.

To meet her mother's expectations, I fluttered my red hair like Evia's, grabbed the hem of the clothes I was wearing and bowed gracefully, albeit awkwardly.

My name is Claire T. Nodis! Father Jiro and Mother Evvia's Daughter!

Then he looked up and proudly introduced himself.

You'll be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.

However, after that, it seems to be a point of demerit for me to check with Evia to see if she was being childlike, and if not for the end, she would have been decapitated and decapitated.

It's time for you to introduce yourself.

"Yes ma'am,

And the next to introduce herself was Helena.

Gently pushed back by Suela, she stepped forward, and after a graceful bow, she too bowed.

I am Helena T. Hendelberg. I am the daughter of your father Jiro and your mother Suela. It will be my pleasure to serve you henceforth.

Helena smiled as she was greeted with applause, even though she was a bit nervous about coming forward, she smiled as she was greeted with applause, and then she tech-walked back to Suela and complimented her on a job well done.

Then you're next.

"Hmmm, okay mom.

The third self-introduction was a little sleepy-eyed but with a firm step and only Maria .

My name is Maria T. Tris. My hobby is napping. It's nice to meet you~

I thought her introduction was typical of her, even though we've only met for a few hours.

I think that's what the girl called Maria is all about.

I'm sure you'll be ready for the evening.

Then finished introducing himself by adding that he had forgotten.

A little laughing applause followed, and finally he introduced himself by saying, "Here you go.

"Here you go.

"Yes!

Kasumi, a word that suits her well, raised her right hand and began to introduce herself.

My name is Kasumi Tanaka! Looks like a fallen angel, though! I love this name!

It's a good thing that you're able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.

"By the way, Minami, would you like to introduce yourself?

"What's the penalty, that?

When I talk to her, she refuses to say "no thank you" as if to say "no thank you".

Laughter erupts in the room, and after the introductions are complete, it's time to discuss future plans.

"Hey, Ka-san, I'm hungry.

"Mm, I see. Is it noon already? Hang on a second, I'll make you something.

"Yeah! Oh, I want a Neapolitan!

"Hmm, if you're going to make it for a few people, that's more like it, okay, I'll have a Neapolitan today.

I'll help you, too.

But a chorus of guffaws and hunger pangs echoes through the room.

Helena and Claire are blushing.

Kasumi honestly complains of hunger and says she just realized she's hungry, holding her stomach and

As I said, Maria.

If you look at the clock it is a little past lunch time.

A child should be hungry.

At Kasumi's suggestion, Himik got up from his seat and stood in the kitchen of the party room with Katsu.

You'll be able to make pasta for a large number of people in stock and it won't take much time to make it.

"How about you, Evia-san?

Yes.

Suella and Memoria would continue to have lunch.

I asked her if she was busy with her work, and she patted Claire, who was hugging her knees silently, and then said, "I'll drink it.

I'll drink it, but sometimes it's not so bad.

She agreed to have dinner with me.

Then it's time to chat for a while.

"Hey, Uncle Kaido.

"Uncle! Uh, uh, what's up?

The girl's mother went to cook, so she's not in a rush.

You'll be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for, and you'll be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.

For a man still in his twenties, this must have come as a bit of a shock to him.

Still flustered, you somehow managed to reply back.

What happened to your beard?

"Beard? I thought you were shaving well today.

"Well, I liked Uncle Kaido's beard, why did you shave it off!

You can find a number of different types of shoes that can be used for a variety of reasons.

However, Kasumi reacted to the word shaved and regretfully brought both index fingers of her hands under her nose and spread them out to the side.

With that gesture.

"Oh, is it Kaiser's beard, that it is?

At a pinch, Minami guessed what Kasumi was trying to say about the beard.

'Yes! It! Uncle Kaido's dignity every day! And I was taking care of it! It was so cool! Why are you shaving!

And the future Kaido is apparently grooming his Kaiser's beard every day.

I couldn't help but smile at the thought of it.

"[.........]

Kitamiya and Amelia couldn't help but burst out laughing.

''Hey there! Why are you laughing?

"No, I'm sorry. Just imagine: .........

"So, soley. It's very charming.

If you think so, take your hand away from your mouth and I'll tell you!

That's right! That beard is so cool!

Apparently, my future daughter likes beards.

I wondered if I should grow one too, and I put my hand on my chin.

"Because! Uncle Kaido glows when he uses magic! Pikacha!

""Buchou!

"Huh? Does it glow? My Beard

"Yes!

I'm sure there are many fantasy worlds, but I've never heard of a glowing beard.

So there's that.

"Evvia, do you have any idea what this means to you?

Kitamiya, Amelia and Minami also couldn't help but laugh at Kasumi's comment and finally started laughing with their stomachs.

Speaking of Kaido being laughed at, he was stunned, not expecting his future self to have a glowing beard.

However, Evia, who has some idea of the phenomenon of glowing beards, was convinced.

Female wizards store their magic in their hair and use it as a bargaining chip in times of need. Some men gather their magic in their beards instead of in their hair.

Why? Hair seems to hold more weight, though.

"Depending on the bloodline, men tend to shed their hair more easily than women. So even if the amount is at least certain to remain, the future Kaido must have accumulated magic power in the beard.

I guessed the reason why Kaido had grown a beard as he ruffled Claire's hair with his hand.

I'm sure that the future Kaido, with his beard glistening, will be very popular with children.

"What's wrong, Maria?

Ummm, and . Mom.

"Yes.

"Amelia, how did you get so small?

"Tiny! No! I'm not small!

And children are pure.

They will honestly point out what is different in their sensibilities.

So is Maria, Memoria's future daughter.

She didn't seem to care whether Kaido had a beard or not, and she was staring at Amelia.

Memoria seemed to notice and asked her about it, and she pointed to Amelia and said she was small.

Maria lowered her hand to remind her not to point at Memoria, but the statement didn't go away.

Amelia is next, and all eyes are on her from the party, as well as from Suella and the others.

Holding her chest, Amelia, her face a little red, looks at Maria for an explanation.

What's going on, Maria?

It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you can kick a giant's head off with a high kick.

「「「「 Eh? 」」」」

There would have been a possibility of magnification of the child, but Maria's statement also came out great.

We said the question mark honestly and then stared at Amelia.

Amelia is about sixty centimeters tall, which is about average for a high school girl, and she has a slender figure thanks to her exercise.

Even though she's half-Japanese, she doesn't have the figure of a tall American model like Maria says.

What's going on, Amy?

I don't know!

I didn't expect Amie's potential to be that great, even with my own eyes, that I couldn't see it with my own.

Oh, but my dad told my mom that she always complains about the annoying way men look at her while she drinks.

What happened to me in the future? What happened to me in the future?

And what really happened to the future.

I never thought the day would come when such a bright and lively Amelia would say such a thing.

Helena and her friends' memories were rightfully Pandora's Box.

From their point of view, they're probably just telling their parents that this happened to them.

But it's pretty pinpointed and damaging to us in the past.

Suela and Memoria are unfazed by the fact that such a thing happened, and countered to Maria, while Evia found an interesting prey and showed no signs of stopping.

"Claire, is there anything on your mind?

On the contrary, it prompted me to ask if there was anything more interesting.

Hmm? Speaking of which, my mother.

"What?

"You're a bit distant from your father today, did you have a fight? I've always liked my mother and father, you know?

"Huh!

「「「「 What! 」」」」

However, the attack couldn't be the same as usual with a child.

I was asked if there was anything about the mother that she noticed, and desperately wanted to remind herself of, she suddenly looked at the distance between me and Evvia and compared it to the scene in the future and pointed it out.

You'll be able to get a good idea of what the relationship between Evvia and I will be like in the future, with the addition of a hugging gesture.

"I'm very happy to be held by my mother and father, and I love it.

The innocence of children is scary .

Evvia is always teasing you.

No, I have no desire to make fun of her.

The mere mention of her desire to be a good friend to her parents usually caused the rest of the party to be astonished, except for me and the one working in the kitchen.

Suela and Memoria didn't say it, but their eyes widened a bit as they looked at their future daughter.

And here was the difference between knowing and not knowing Evia's character.

I desperately suppressed my reaction, and if it had been me, Suela, and Memoria's reaction, Evia would have missed it.

But the rest were not good.

A pheasant has to crow to be shot.

You can find a number of different types of shoes and boots in the market.

「「「「 hey! 」」」」

「「「「? 」」」」?

"Oh, don't worry about it.

"Yeah, it's no big deal,

"Yes, Maria, come here.

I look at Helena as I join hands in my heart to tell the cowering faces to live.

Kasumi, Maria, and Claire have been talking about the future, and now there's Helena.

She was curious about Suela's growing belly, looking at it every time we reacted, but eventually she turned to her mother, Suela, and put her ear to her belly and listened to the pulse of life inside it.

The sight made Suela smile, and she gently patted her head.

The scene was enough to make you want to make a painting of it, but it's hard to contain the fear.

Kaido, Amelia, and Evia, in turn, talked about the future, which has taken more than a little damage.

It's nothing more than bland small talk, but all of it is a reality that I can't even think about now.

Kaido's beard, Amelia's physical and mental growth, and the passionate love between Evia and me.

It's more amazing to know that such a future awaits than to wonder how many years, or even decades, from now.

? Is there something wrong?

Maria is half asleep in a hug to Memoria, while Kasumi, after finishing her story about Kaido's beard, is talking to Himik, who is cooking and observing the cooking.

Then, Claire pulled Evvia's hand and brought her over to where I was sitting, creating a space for each of us to fit in between the two with a smile on her face.

For now, we can't get any more information from the three of you.

I can hear about the future.

Even if it's not important, there's no one here that doesn't care about their future selves.

So I'm curious to see what will come out of her.

The person in question is embarrassed by the fact that he or she suddenly caught a glimpse of his or her mother hugging him or her ears.

It's a good thing that you're looking at me so intently.

I think people want to hear Helena's story.

"Is this my story?

Yes, he's wondering what Helena usually does.

It was Suela who helped her.

Is this normal?

Helena thinks about getting on her boat and trying to talk to her.

"Oh, by the way,

What have you got in mind?

"Yes!

After a few seconds of thinking, Helena nodded toward Suela, as if she wanted to hear what she had in mind.

Now, everyone braced themselves for what was to come.

Yes! I've always wanted to ask your mother something!

"To me?

It was just a story that tried to clear up the usual doubts rather than tell something, and everyone shrugged it off as what it was.

The sight of a daughter asking her mother a question.

With the mundane details and the smell of food flowing from the kitchen, I look at the scene as if the conversation is about to end.

What is it that you want to ask?

Suela looked at her daughter's question and looked at her to answer it.

I'd like to sleep with you every day, but why can't I sleep with your father at least once every two nights?

".........

It was a very common and healthy question about the daughter's loneliness.

However, for adults who know the situation, the answer is very difficult to answer.

It's not that I'm lonely, but when I can't sleep with you, my mother Himikku, Memoria and Evia sleep with me, so it's not that I want to annoy my mother.

The more I listen to the story, the more I think it's a good idea.

It's fine for you to get along with me, but, you know what? You know, please let the feelings come through.

Oh, that's what I was thinking, too. I want to sleep with my dad more, but why not, Mom?

"It's

"Mmm, I'm curious, mother, why?

"......... Yeah.

Contrary to such wistful thoughts, a child's curiosity is boundless.

The answer to Helena's question, only adults can sense it, and the child's desire to relieve his or her feelings of loneliness, even if only a little, is healthy but in a way relentless.

Both Memoria and Evvia have the answers, but they know they can't answer the question.

You can wait as long as you want to bury your curiosity, so naturally you're not going to be able to say anything.

When they get impatient, they call out why, but they bite like a squirrel and never leave.

However, they may change their bite.

Why is that, father?

"Why - Dad

"Why do you do it, Father?

When the mother is at a loss for answers, the brunt turns to me.

Naturally, I expected that.

Suella, Memoria, and Evvia's eyes told me to let her do the rest.

How to make them less interested and more convinced.

You'll understand when you're older, right? No, that doesn't convince these kids.

How to answer these three questions.

So, is it a cover-up? It's possible, but would these smart kids believe it?

I thought desperately and withstood the how and why stares that led me to.

I know.

"Yes.

"Mm-hm.

Exciting.

After a pause, I thought again that this was a good idea, and I couldn't think of anything else to say.

......... I'm training to be a dad.

I attacked a pretty close call.

If an adult listens, the first thing you will definitely guess is what it means.

But if a child asks, "Are you training to be a father?

Are you training to be a dad?

"Oh.

Doesn't it have to be with your mother too?

"Oh.

Why not us?

Yeah, it's just training to be a dad, after all.

I'm glad my daughter is the only one here.

If my son had been here, these words would never have occurred to me.

Depending on who you ask, these words could be s*xual harassment.

However, for those girls who are new to this kind of thing, I can guess that the answer is not wrong, but I do not understand the meaning.

I had to say those offhanded words in front of my party members.

"Do you think that's possible, that it is, Kitamiya?

I think you're completely out of ideas. But I don't think that was an option.

Well, I'm surprised you could come up with a word like that. I couldn't do it myself.

"Don't mind, don't worry about it, Jiro San

But don't let that shame make your face twitch.

After all, there are daughters in front of you.

You have to be proud to say that this is a bad thing, but not a bad thing.

The girls frequently call it training to be a father.

Even though I had to say it, this is still hard.

Jiro, you've worked hard.

Good work, Jiro-san.

"Thank you Jiro-san,

Evvia, Suella, I can only hope that Memoria can comfort me.

'Lord! Ready to eat? What's in the air?

"Yay Neapolitan! And what's up, Helena, what are you talking about?

What's going on?

And then, just in time, lunch was completed and I stood up silently.

"No, there's nothing. Let's just get some food.

So I said to Himik and she replied with a question mark in her head.

Word of the Day

Soon the bell will ring.
