King's Capital Day goes down.

The darkness of the night rises between the interposed buildings.

A street lamp using Merrill's developed magic conductor was emitting lights.

"Father. Excuse me, could you pick me up about Anna? I'm sure Anna would love that."

"Oh. Okay."

When I accepted Elsa's request, I went to pick up Anna.

When you leave the house, exit through the residential district and go to the Adventurer's Guild on Boulevard.

After a short walk I see a splendid building like the bureau.

This is the home of the Adventurer Alliance.

I used to go to this place and pack it too.

For three years, from the time I was fourteen when I became an adventurer to the time I was seventeen when I retired, I can only remember being here the whole time.

- Hasn't it been eighteen years since I stepped in...

Open both doors and go indoors.

The landscape has hardly changed.

A huge bulletin board with a requisition is set up in the center, and the adventurer chooses the requisition from this to take it to the reception in the back.

There is a guild receptionist stationed at the reception desk, and if you take the requisition, they will accept it after a review of rank, appropriateness, etc.

Sometimes the receptionist recommends me to request the assignment directly.

The space in front of the guild and upstairs are taverns, which are used for pre-mission operational meetings and launches after completion of the mission.

- The more you look at it, the more nostalgia you bring in.

I don't see what Anna looks like... Isn't he on the table? To try to speak to the receptionist who was carrying the paperwork.

"I'm sorry. Do you have a minute?"

"Yes. What is it?

"I wonder if Anna is here. of the Alliance Master."

"Anna would now be working in the back room. If you need anything, I can take your place."

"No. I didn't come here for work. Just picking up Anna."

"I'm here to pick you up... Ha!

The receptionist opened her eyes as if she had noticed something.

Let's put our hands on the mouth.

"Could you possibly - be Anna's lover!?

- Huh?

Unexpectedly, I'm about to get stuck.

"Anna, when are you going to have a lover... And such a lovely adult! You can't put that guy in the corner either!

The receptionist said, "Yikes!" and one was thriving.

"Um... I'm not Anna's lover. I'm a father. I'm going to live in the king's capital from today on."

"What? Are you Anna's father?

When I nodded, the receptionist opened his mouth.

"Heh. Are you the rumored Mr. Kaisel"

"Rumors? What do you mean?"

"Anna told me about it before. My dad says he's a solid, very dependable, strong, nice guy. Because Anna, who has been called a genius since the adventurer guild began, is the one to say that much. Everyone was rumoring that he must be a great father."

The receptionist had her eyes narrowed with nimanima.

"So it's an honor to meet you. Hmm. Heh."

"Why are you looking at it as a giro?

"Mr. Kaisel. Must be a rumor, he's a nice guy. Young and well-dressed! It's very different from my puffy belly father!

"Ha..."

"But you don't look much like Anna."

"-"

I almost stopped my heart when I heard the words.

Anna and I are not alike...

It's natural.

Because me and Anna are not real parents and kids with blood connections.

"Ah. Beautiful men. Beautiful women are similar. Nice. Your mother must be a very pretty person, too. Ah."

The receptionist had a lucid look on her face.

Anna's real mother......? I can't see you anymore. I guess the receptionist's girlfriend is as beautiful as she says.

"What do you mean! Hey!"

There was a roar that echoed throughout the guild.

Seeing, a resilient man, seen as an adventurer, was stuck in the receptionist. Blue muscles float in the temples of the bald-headed man.

I think you're angry.

"Mr. Gard. So, as I explained earlier,"

"I'm telling you I'm not convinced! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Take charge! I'm not gonna talk about a lower end like you!

Don't!

The adventurer man known as Gardo - gave momentum and fisted the receptionist.

The receptionist pulled in screaming.

"Mr. Gard. What's wrong with you?

It was - Anna - who showed up through the back door.

I am dripping my knotted hair from my left shoulder.

He was much more grown-up than he was four years ago and had an intelligent beauty.

The uniforms worn are more luxurious than those of the receptionists. Is that something like an Alliance Master?

"What's the matter with you and these things? Hey! Why can't I take this assignment? Even though it's a good job!

"Ha..."

Anna glanced over at the request and said to Gardo.

"It's a simple story. You're still a B-rank adventurer, aren't you? This request is only open to adventurers of A-rank or higher"

"Then get me up to A-rank now!

"I can't do that. Because it's a policy. Besides, as far as I'm concerned, I can't recommend that Mr. Gardo take this request."

"Why not?"

"Because I'm sure with your current strength, you won't be able to do the request. You can't just send someone out who you know will die."

"-!"

Gard opened his eyes slightly.

"You're making fun of me!

"Ha...... You only want to overestimate yourself if you don't have the strength. The blame for letting him die comes this way..."

Anna sighed annoyingly.

That's when her gaze caught me.

Then a thin grin spread across his mouth.

"Well, here's what we'll do"

Anna said she would stand her finger up.

"Have an arm wrestle with those of you out there, and if you can win, I'll let you order this assignment then"

"Oh? What is this guy?"

"He is an A-rank adventurer. I wash my feet eighteen years ago from the adventurer operation. So there's quite a blank. If you lose to him in a power battle like that, you're still underpowered to take the assignment."

"... if I win, you're gonna let me take the assignment, right?

"Yeah. No two words."

As Anna nodded, Gardo snorted with satisfaction.

"Fine. - Hey! You! Right now, this little girl's right! As a stepping stone for me, let's fight with an arm wrestle!

"Dude..."

While I didn't know, I had decided to fight someone I didn't know.

"Sorry. Dad. Lightly twisted."

When Anna came to me, she whispered that as she apologized.

... Well, how can you not ask for the favor of your beloved daughter?

Besides, this man is interrupting Anna's business and causing trouble.

Then there's good reason to fight.

"Okay. Let's take this fight."

"I don't think so.... I'll tell you what, I won't give you a break. I'll make sure you never use that arm again."

"Ha. Please be gentle."

We sandwiched each other across the barrel, and we put our hands together.

"Okay - here we go!

"Ha!

I pulled down Gard's arm with all my strength as I began.

The barrel splashes apart.

Gard was slapped to the floor not just by his arms, but by his body.

"Guaaaaaaa!?

screaming, rolling around on the floor.

The arm was bent in an unexpected direction.

"Yes, with battles. - Now you know, don't you? You're still not far from A-rank adventurers."

Anna looks at Gardo hitting harder and laughs bitterly.

"... haven't you heard"

"Dad. Thanks. Thanks for the help."

"I don't mind that...... What were you gonna do if I lost? There's been a blank for eighteen years, not to mention the A-rank."

"Huh? I didn't think about that."

Anna said with a decent face.

"My dad is the strongest thing in the world. You can't lose."

Awesome trust.

"For once, I'll ask. Is that the wisdom eye as an Alliance Master? Or are you looking at me as my beloved daughter?

"Hehe. Both of them."

Anna was smiling mischievously.
