"Father?"

From afar I could see a tall man with blue hair and eyes like mine standing in front of our estate.

"Sweetie, is that you?" he asked with his eyes wide at my unexpected arrival.

I stared at him for a while with wide eyes as well.

Before I knew it, I was already running toward him as fast as I could on my two legs.

Obviously, since my maximum speed wasn't something to laugh at, I already had my arms around him within a blink of an eye.

Unfortunately, though, in my excitement, I forgot to control my strength and I accidentally tackled my father to the ground.

"W-Woah!" my father yelled as his back was slammed to the ground with a loud thud.

"...I missed you so much," I mumbled.

Ah...tears started to flow from my eyes against my will.

I hate to admit it but...maybe I do care for this daughter-con father much more than I like to think.

"Sweetie...! Did you come to visit me???" my father squealed in joy as he squeezed me tightly in his arms.

In the past, when I was young, his tight squeezes would suffocate me and nearly break my poor spine.

But now, his squeeze didn't feel painful at all and I could finally feel the immeasurable amount of warmth in his embrace.

It felt nice.

And a little bit refreshing.

"Mmm...I missed you a lot, father," I cried a little in his arms.

I missed him a lot.

"Oh...! My daughter is the cutest thing in the entire world!!! Oh my goodness...I'd be happy even if I die tomorrow!" he yelled as he stood up with me in his arms and held me high up in the sky.

"Don't say that, father...You have to marry Sophie soon! What would she think if you die before the wedding?" I said jokingly in reply.

My father laughed as he swung me around in the air.

After all the stupid drama I've been through...I'm finally going to have a break.

Ah...home really is the best thing in the world.

"Yes...It really would be a shame if you happened to die before our wedding, Alastair. You aren't thinking of doing anything rash again, are you?" another voice appeared.

I turned my head to see a mature beauty with beautiful flowing dark brown locks and a familiar strict look in her gray eyes that I recognized almost immediately.

Wait a minute...

Is that...?

SOPHIE?!

SOPHIE?!
