Hisago was like a father figure to me.

When he was a child, he was saved from being killed as a decoy to a demonic beast that had invaded the human kingdom, and he was given the name Kannagi.

I owe him a debt of gratitude for saving my life.

I owe a debt of gratitude to him for giving me a name, even though I didn't have a name.

But that's it, and I really think it's Mr./Ms. who has sealed it by surprise.

It's my fault that I didn't realize that Hisago was so cornered.

But...... At the very least, I hope you can get my approval.

I haven't said goodbye to my sister, and I haven't even met her fiancé.

Moreover, I was only eighteen years old, and I had to wake up to this age, which had transcended hundreds of years.

…… No, to be honest, I don't have any complaints about meeting in this era, but I still have nothing but resentment towards Hisago.

 

「…… The forest hasn't changed."

 

We crossed the other side of the river from Myalak and proceeded to the realm of the beastmen.

Riding a horse that had been brought to the opposite shore beforehand, I was on my way down the mountain road to Hinomoto, the land of the beastmen.

 

"Are you nostalgic?"

 

Amako, who is also riding a horse, asks.

Linka was also lined up next to him, so he must have been talking to two friends in a friendly manner.

 

"I know the scenery of the forest to some extent, because I saw it from the gauntlet of Usato."

"Come to think of it, yes...... It's kind of strange to think that all that fuss happened less than a year."

"If you say that, isn't the whole series of disturbances that Usato and you were involved in the same thing?"

"I can tell you."

 

It's quite a lot just to look at it from the perspective of a small knife and a gauntlet.

Fight against an evil dragon awakened in the present day.

The Curse of Samariar.

Charon awakens to the power of the dragon and goes out of control.

The rebellion of Jinya, the head of Hinomoto.

At least, you're in the middle of all this commotion when you're traveling.

 

"That's it, Amako."

"Hmm? What? Linker"

"Usato, was he so powerful from the beginning?"

「…… Uh-huh."

 

Amako seems to be a little difficult to say.

To be honest, I was curious about that part.

I know that he was put in the rescue team right after he was called into this world, but I don't know what he did after that.

 

"I don't know much about the time when Usato's entry into the rescue team was made, but I remember that it was very rare to see people in there, so it was a big topic of conversation in the city."

"It was unusual."

 

Well, it's a terrible group that does that much practice......

From my point of view, the black-clad guys have a lot of physical ability.

 

"At first, I thought Usato was a normal person, but I think he wasn't normal because of the way Rose Mr./Ms. put him in."

"I'm going to swear it......"

"Because it's Usato."

 

It's kind of strange that I can be convinced by those words.

From the time I got caught up in the machinations of the Samaritan de Extravaganza who was going to hand over the reins to me, I feel like my mental shenanigans have become more pronounced.

The sorcerer was rewarded as Hisago said.

 

"I think it was the first time we consciously met face-to-face...... I think it was when I was working as a store keeper. Rose Mr./Ms....... I think it was before Usato's boss threw him into the forest where he lived as a demon beast."

"Wait a minute, isn't it funny...... !!"

「…… Linka, did I say something wrong?"

"I'm numb, Amako!"

 

Mr./Ms. Hayate and the guards, who had been listening casually, also turned around and were surprised.

 

"It seems to be a nostalgic memory for Usato."

"Are you nostalgic!? Isn't it a nightmare?!"

"It was also a chance to meet Bulllin...... At first, he was told that he would come back until he defeated the Grand Grizzly, and he was alone in the woods for about ten days."

"What is the purpose of the rescue team......

 

Listening to the stories of the rescue team so far, I think that the impression of the rescue team is that the organization tries everything necessary in case of emergency.

Even if an emergency occurs, we will impose training with a view to putting ourselves in extreme conditions so that we can respond, and make use of it in the actual performance.

It can be said that there is healing magic, and it is a fierce training policy.

 

"I think Usato's skills started to go wrong after he started throwing healing magic...... There's a healing punch before that...... That seems to be a technique that Rose Mr./Ms. taught me."

"I don't think it's a big deal when you hear about healing magic, but it's really scary when it's thrown at you, in fact, it was very scary."

"That's the fault of Linka, who suddenly shot an arrow."

"Ugh......"

 

While exchanging such small talk, the place eventually arrives at the deep forest that surrounds Hinomoto.

Leading his horse through the trees that do not let the sunlight through, he finally arrives at Hinomoto.

After entering the city, Mr./Ms. and I parted ways, and Amako and I headed to her home in the city to meet her mother.

 

"Are you sure? I'm going to visit you at home."

"yes, it seems to be quite large, and I thought it would be better to have someone to know about Kannagi."

"It may be true, thank you."

"Also, I'm curious about how my mother Mr./Ms. will react."

"Yes."

 

I'm wondering if you're wondering ...... something.

Sure, Amako and I might look like sisters at first glance.

Somewhat stunned, I turned my attention to the cityscape of Hinomoto again.

An idyllic scenery that combines wooden houses and nature.

 

「…… I knew it, but it's not the same as it was when I was there."

"Well, it's been hundreds of years."

"But this is what the beastmen were looking for at the time, isn't it......?"

 

A place free from strife and malice.

Hinomoto is a realm only for beastmen that humans can't reach.

…… Now that I think about it, I'm glad that Jinya's attempt to take advantage of Amako and her mother failed.

 

"I'm here."

「…… It's a pretty big house......

 

We arrived at a large wooden building.

Perhaps because he is one of the few clairvoyant wizards, there are soldiers on guard and security seems to be tight.

 

"Welcome back, Amako-sama, Hayate-sama has told me the story."

"I'm here...... Is your mother Mr./Ms. inside?"

"Yes, you just returned to the mansion......

 

The female soldier with the spear nodded at Amako's words.

His expression seems to be sullen.

 

"Also, my mother's Mr./Ms. did it......

"You said that you were going to celebrate Amako-sama's return today, and you were determined to cook by yourself...... Before I knew it, I ...... disappeared to buy ingredients by myself."

"I'm sorry......"

"No, it's the usual."

 

…… You're a really strange person, Mr./Ms. Kanoko.

To be frank, she looks exactly like my sister in some ways, and as expected, she ...... to be a descendant.

 

"Let's go, Kannagi."

"Yes......."

 

Take off your shoes and enter the mansion.

Then, perhaps hearing the arrival, a woman came from the back with a fluttering sound.

Mr./Ms. Kanoko has long blond hair that reaches her waist and ears and tail as a fox beastman like Amako and me.

 

"Welcome back, Amako."

"Right now, Mr./Ms.."

 

She smiled happily with a gentle smile and hugged Amako with her arms outstretched.

As I was smiling at Amako, who seemed to be embarrassed but not satisfied, Mr./Ms.'s gaze turned to me, who was still hugging Amako.

 

"Welcome back, you've grown up, Amako."

"Mr./Ms., I'm still in your arms."

「…… Huh?"

"No, I don't."

 

Aren't you too self-paced ...... than you expected?

To Amako, who is left to do what she wants, Mr./Ms. puts her hand on her cheek with a look of surprise.

 

"Amako's child?"

"He's older than me."

「…… Could it be my other daughter? I don't remember it, but ......."

"It's natural because there is no such fact."

"No way, that guy...... I ...... kept quiet about the fact that there was a hidden child!?"

"Don't involve your father Mr./Ms. in heaven ......."

 

I think there's a certain amount of nature in ......!

It's too dangerous that the speculation that is uttered one after another is not even scratched.

 

"Oh, then you're a sister, hehehe, you've always wanted a sister."

「…… Soudane"

"Amakoo!? Don't give up trying to explain!?"

 

It's going to be a big deal if I don't explain it anymore before the story gets any more complicated!

Feeling a sense of crisis about Amako, who was gradually throwing up, I hurried to explain the situation to Mr./Ms.. Kanoko.

 

"Actually......

 

He frantically explains with gestures.

That I am the sister of the ancestors of Amako and Kanoko Mr./Ms., who were sealed hundreds of years ago.

After being sealed, he was rescued by Usato and the others to get to where he is now.

When I asked questions so that Kanoko Mr./Ms., who sat upright and listened with a smile on her face, could understand well...

 

"Then from today on, Kannagi-chan is my daughter."

 

For some reason, I was made the daughter of my girlfriend Mr./Ms..

…… No, why not even if you don't think about it!?

 

"If you're of the same bloodline, you're like a relative, and you're like a family now, aren't you?"

"Oh, no, that, that...... Isn't it?"

 

I haven't had my parents since I can remember, so I'm frustrated by the response of my girlfriend's Mr./Ms., which is too unexpected.

What?! How do you feel like you've mixed up this confusion and joy?!

 

"Kannagi, you'd better give up."

"Oh, is Amako good......?"

"It's my mother's Mr./Ms., and from Kannagi's point of view, I think it's better to take care of me and my mother's Mr./Ms. here."

 

That's true, though.

Even though it's weakened, I'm also a clairvoyant wizard, so I should make a position here.

 

"It looks like we've made up our minds. Kannagi-chan"

「…… Thank you."

 

I bow while sitting upright.

I ...... I was made into a daughter in no time.

 

"Well, let's make some rice then, I knew that Amako would be coming home with Kannagi-chan, so I made a lot of it."

 

When I hear about rice, I unknowingly get excited.

When I stood up, feeling ashamed of it, I suddenly felt as if my consciousness was being pulled back to the depths.

Sometimes, there is a feeling of another me manipulating my body.

What the hell are you going to do? As I was wondering without any particular warning, the other me, who had stepped forward, hugged Kanoko.

 

"Oh?"

"~~~!?"

 

What, what are you doing, the other me!?

What's more, it's hard to return consciousness to me after hugging me!

 

"Oh my gosh."

"Kannagi, were you so hungry for family love......?"

 

While Amako looked at the very poor person, Mr./Ms. Kanoko, who seemed to smile at my sudden embrace, stroked my hair.

 

"Ahh......hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"You don't have to hold back, we're already family."

「～～……!!」

 

I couldn't stand the gaze of compassion anymore and fell vigorously on the tatami mat as it was.

Wow, me in me! Be prepared for later!

Kannagi becomes Kanoko's daughter (!?)

As for the other Kannagi, I feel like I have acted in a way that I don't really understand, with a strange sense of family.
