"Yes?"

 

"Parker, sweetheart, are you okay? Your complexion is very pale."

 

Even the voice of a mother who treated her grown son as a baby could not be heard. If it was him, he would have hated it by saying please don't call him that, but now he had an even more pressing problem.

 

"aah!"

 

"Oh, why is this guy screaming all of a sudden?"

 

Father Rosé rubbed his tingly ears and gave him an absurd look, but Parker got up from his chair without hesitation. From the teacup that was accidentally spilled, the savory aroma of long-brewed grain tea rose. Parker slammed the door open and ran out of the house. He heard screams behind him, but he didn't turn around. Even if he soon gets scolded by his father, the later work is in the works.

 

'They're my little sisters, but they're real unbridled ponies, no puppies!'

 

Although Parker raised his younger siblings with his own hands, even in his eyes, each of them had strong individuality. It was like seeing puppies in the period of teeth grinding. It was terrifying to imagine sending such children to a superior. What he saw as soon as Parker came out, burning with a sense of mission to rescue the guild leader from his younger brothers, was a bit different from what he expected.

 

The black Pegasus were grazing peacefully, and their younger brother, Perry, who had reached the age of majority this year, was marveling as he brushed the mane of a Pegasus. Perry found Parker running out, pale-faced, and waved his hand.

 

"Hyung! You vomited earlier, are you okay now?"

 

"Uh, huh. What about the kids?"

 

"Fury hasn't come home yet. The twins are sleeping."

 

Her younger sister, Fury, who has just entered puberty, said that she often goes out these days. She wanted to train her archery like crazy since last year, and now she has gone deep into the mountains to hunt her. She didn't even know her eldest brother had returned, and not even Fury, who was wandering outside her. Parker turned her head in search of her twins.

 

The two twins were really asleep while being carried by Neju. Estio, who was looking at the children with puzzled eyes, found Parker out of the house and bowed her head.

 

"I'm sorry, Parker. I'm so startled that the kids are running all of a sudden from behind..."

 

Parker flapped his wings and flew in front of Neju. The sleeping twins looked relaxed.

 

"I put it to sleep without knowing it."

 

"Good job!"

 

"......Yes?"

 

Estio shrugged, thinking that Parker would be angry, but was a little confused. Parker looked very relieved and took one of the two sleeping children in his arms.

 

"They are like angels only when they sleep. Phew, they're the youngest and twins, so they said they were pretty and pretty, but they didn't have a habit yet.

 

The person who vomited from strangulation by the twins just before laughed shyly.

 

'I'm really happy. If I strangle Leader like they did to me, Tsuki-sama might kill me.'

 

Already, there was a pair of odd-eyed children who were close to Estio and stared fiercely at the children. His long tail, which wiggled here and there, clearly showing his uncomfortable feelings, was trampled upon by his eyes. As long as they've been together, Parker now knows that that arrogant black cat is actually turning into a giant black tiger.

 

I couldn't actually witness the changing scene, so I could only understand it with my head, but in any case, Tsuki's eyes were bitter even as a cat.

 

wow.

 

As if to warn you, the sound of your neck ringing was unusual. Parker was sweating profusely, carrying the rest of the child on his opposite shoulder. The twins were already ten years old, so trying to hug the two of them made my legs wobbly, but I was able to somehow bring them into the house using my career as a babysitting pro.

 

"Oh my, the kids are already sleeping? Are you paying filial piety to the guests?"

 

The mother, who gave Parker a positive mindset, smiled at the sleeping twins.

 

The wild Pegasus that had brought Estio and his companions did not leave and stayed around the house. It was because of Kirin's strong will to take her back home.

 

And Estio, who was invited to Parker's house, was seated in a chair with Neju.

 

"Estio-sama is the guild leader of Ignis to which I belong."

 

"Guild leader? Are you a high person?"

 

After hearing the introduction from the eldest son, Bernie Rosé got a little nervous and looked around. The Join people living in the high mountain peaks were generally dark in urban culture. They were ignorant of what exactly the guild was, how large it was, and how much power it had. Parker shook his head coldly at Rosé, who was concerned that if the Ignis guild executive was in a position with great authority like a noble, it might be a great rudeness to bring it into an old log cabin and set it in front of a simple wooden round table.

 

"Father, the guild has nothing to do with the title of nobility. Although mainly noble customers have requested quests from the leader."

 

"Brother, if a noble is a customer, isn't it great?"

 

"Fufu. It's not just the nobles, Perry. The details are business secrets!"

 

Perry, who was sitting side by side at the round table listening to the story, looked up at his older brother with respectful eyes. Parker started bragging about it as he had made up his mind in advance when he invited Estio.

 

"Is it early this year? On a rainy day, while riding a carriage, I met a group of harpies. There, the leader saved my life...!", "Even when I met Blue Sands in the desert, if the leader hadn't been there, I would have already been there. A handful of sand...!", "These wild Pegasus are actually leaders...!" etc.

 

The constant boasting of the boss continued. Her parents held their breath for every dangerous moment that popped out of Parker's mouth, but her brother Perry listened with great interest to her brother's adventures.

 

By the time Parker's guild story, which seemed like it would never end, stopped, Rosé had a favorable gaze on Estio.

 

"I was very curious as to who Parker was because he was bringing guests. Haha! These are really unbelievable stories.

 

"You can speak comfortably."

 

"No. Parker's benefactor is also a benefactor of our family. Thank you for leading our child well, guild leader."

 

The village head couple of the Jo-in group gladly bowed their heads to express their gratitude to Estio, whom they met for the first time today. True love for Parker was evident in their bowed heads, friendly smiles, and voluntarily used titles. Estio looked around the house full of warmth for a moment without even needing to read his mind, then bowed his head.

 

"Yes, I am grateful to have met a good colleague."

 

A friendly smile is contagious. Estio thought as he looked at Parker's family, it must have been that someone's warmth had passed on to the married couple, to their homes, and to the entire village. There was happiness as natural as the scent of grain tea in the little log cabin.

 

In the evening, the sleeping twins woke up. Slowly getting ready to leave, Parker took the coat out of his closet and gave it to the kids.

 

"Neju-ya, take care of me."

 

"Neju-ya, make it higher."

 

"Guys......."

 

The twins were now obsessed with Neju. Neju, who was white, fluffy, and large, was enough to steal the attention of her children just by her presence.

 

"Neju is cute!"

 

"Neju, you're pretty!"

 

carrrr.

 

It was the first time he had ever been subjected to such a reckless attack of affection, so Neju had her red eyes twinkling. Parker, who had succeeded in dressing her as she surrounded her Nezu, chasing after her running children, grumbled with an older look.

 

"Haha, when will the kids be all grown up?"

 

It was like a housewife tired of looking at her children. Estio, who had never taken care of a small child, had nothing to say, so he only patted Parker's droopy shoulder.

 

"By the time the youngest ones become adults, I'll get married and have children, right? Then the bondage of eternal childbearing...... Kheuk."

 

"Cheer up."

 

Parker grinned with an uneasy expression on his face. Then she opened her mouth again, watching her twins clinging to Neju.

 

"I feel like children are not afraid of Neju-sama."

 

"okay."

 

Estio remembered Sera he met at Viscount Fabien. Sera was not afraid when she saw Neju. She was different from her brother, who, upon seeing her, treated her as a monster and tried to kill her if not taken away. I didn't know the answer to whether Neju was different in the children's eyes, or if there was someone who was not afraid like Sera or the twins in the family.

 

Neju, who has a gentle personality, took care of the children as they wished. The twins, buried wide in her white fur, looked very happy. When Neju took her twins out first, Parker, who was now sighing, asked Estio too.

 

"Leader-nim is also wearing a coat here. It's autumn these days, so the weather is nice, but the wind is blowing in Bernie's village."

 

Estio seemed to understand why Parker had become a habit of caring about others. Estio, quietly wearing a hood, followed Parker out the door. A pastel-toned evening sky, spreading from indigo to purple, spread out over the already darkened son-in-law. Above the sky that felt closer because it was in the middle of a high mountain, countless stars twinkled like the sand on the beach.

 

"The festival is here."

 

Parker, who thought that Estio was standing blankly because he did not know the way, took the lead and led the way.

 

"Is the festival held at night?"

 

"Ah, Bernie's Autumn Leaves Festival is free to attend. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all worth seeing."

 

Parker stretched out his palm and pointed around.

 

"At this time, the mountain is holding its own festival!"

 

'San himself...?'

 

What that meant was that I didn't have to wait long and just walked around a bit. Verni Village is the home of the Joining people who live in a high rocky mountain. Instead, there were abundant mountains spread out under the huge rock pillars that surrounded it.

 

In the evening, street lamps were lit up on each of the rock pillars. Street lamps shining in red, yellow, green, and blue lit the mountains everywhere. Parker's house was built on a huge rocky mountain with other houses. Even though it was a rocky mountain, there was a wide plain with shallow grass at the top, and all the residents came here to enjoy the festival that nature had opened.

 

Here, people did not have to prepare their own festivals. The vast mountain trees beneath the rocky cliffs were dyed in five colors, creating a beautiful atmosphere.

 

"Pan, Pai, don't go too far! Neju-sama, don't go too far with the kids!"

 

Parker shouted loudly and put the parasol he had brought out. It was a parasol with a simple table, but it was already night, so it was not used to block the sunlight. It had the effect of blocking strong winds by inserting the wing feathers of Pegasus, and a light bulb was attached to the surrounding area.
