The procession to the Grand Church left.

Jamie sighed as he looked at them move away. And then looked at his sister who was crying in his mothers arms.

The break away with Anna seemed to take a toll on Sarah, who was still just 3 years old. It was worth it because it was the first time she bonded with someone, and she had never experienced breaking away, so her crying was understandable.

When will we meet again?

Jamie didnt know when, but when the time comes, Ricky will probably be strong enough to play his role.

But that won't be enough.

To stand by Jamies side, he has to be better.

You will have to work hard. Somehow try to catch up to me.

Since the path Jamie took was different from his previous life, all of his colleagues need to be at their best.

Only then will they all be able to defeat the enemies.

You will have to work a lot once we get back. Be aware of that.

-Hmm

Venna, who was on his shoulder, drooped her tail.

Since she already hit the level once, it wont be tough for her to have a full awakening.

Not just Venna.

The undead, I need to pay attention to them.

Due to his young age, he concentrated too much on himself and didnt care about the undead.

Although Azad and Raiza take care of the undead, there would be a huge difference if their master cares for them.

And I have Gremia this time.

An artifact which perfectly reproduces a conceivable space for training could be made.

And he could add additional stuff into it to make it a high-class training ground.

Huhuhu.

-M-master, why are you smiling like that again

Venna trembled at the sound of Jamies laugh. Apparently, she knew that his laugh meant the future was going to be tough.

Done.

It was when Jamie was thinking of a training ground.

Marquis Bell who was at the procession had returned.

His expression was more bitter now. It seemed that his only friend was leaving.

The people of the Marquis mansion made preparations to return.

To Sarah, who was crying, Jamie held Venna and gave her to Sarah.

-Master!

Just for today comfort her.

-Ku

Sacrifice Venna to make his sister happy, this was something Jamie was fine doing.

And once the carriage was ready, the servant came to call them.

Marquis, the preparations are done.

Alright.

As the Marquis was about to get in, a loud noise of horse hooves came.

Everyone looked to see a familiar face coming for them.

That person is-

Lars had called him senior.

Name was

Sir Airak Tedley?

Perhaps the Marquis remembered the name, so he said it out naturally.

Ugh-

Airak calmed the horse and landed.

And bowed to the Marquis.

Forgive me for being late. My name is Airak Tedley, who will come along with the family to Haiss on behalf of Sir Armetic.

We were supposed to go together.

Right.

The Welton family had decided to start Pyro church in Haiss.

Originally Lars was supposed to be the head of Haiss, but it was changed as he was supposed to be with Ricky and Anna.

So Airak would accompany them to Haiss.

Please look after me, Mrs. Welton.

I wish the same from you.

Sears greeted him with a smile and so did Airak. And then, he looked at Jamie who was next to her.

The Holy Executioner offers his greetings to the Saint.

You dont have to greet me like that each time. And please take care of us.

Dont worry.

Airak was an escort knight assigned by the Pyro church to take the place of Bishop and prepare for an attack on the Zenith church.

Jamie wondered if they needed him, but if Zenith decided to send one of the Seven Knights like last time, then things would be cumbersome.

Though that wouldnt happen.

By now, it was certain that pressure was falling onto the Zenith church.

Then, lets move.

The carriage carrying the family of the Marquis set off.

Time passed quickly and a week passed.

All work at Apton was over and Jamie would be back to having a peaceful time with his family.

And the day to go back to Haiss has come.

Marquis Bell looked at his cute grandchildren with a kind smile.

Next time I meet Jamie and Sarah, you will be so big that I might not recognize you.

The Marquiss face smiled sadly.

The week had been rather busy.

Not surprisingly, as Jamie eavesdropped on the Marquis's office, he came to know that the pressure on Zenith was now at national level.

It would be strange if the Marquis, who was at the center of this event, wasn't busy.

Sears spoke while gently touching her fathers wrinkles.

Dad, you need to take care of yourself. Ill be back next time, so stay healthy until then.

Dont worry. I eat it every day.

And dont overwork yourself.

We are done with the tough things, so Ill be fine.

There was still a long way to go, but the Marquis lied because he didnt want to worry his daughter.

Despite knowing that, Sears too pretended to not know.

Then I am glad.

The two looked at each other and then hugged.

Give my regards to the Count.

Definitely.

Let me hug my grandchildren too.

Jamie and Sarah went towards the Marquis.

Jamie frowned inside, but smiled on the outside.

Sarah on the other hand was trying hard to hold back her tears.

What is making my granddaughter so sad?

Hic cant grandfather come with us?

Huhu. Is Sarah sad about leaving grandfather?

Lets go together hic

Ill definitely come to play next time.

The Marquis stroked Sarahs head with a happy smile.

Sarah held out her little finger.

Promise!

Yes. Promise.

The Marquis too locked his finger with Sarahs.

And then Sarah chuckled.

They say if you cry and laugh at the same time, horns grow from your butt?

Unngg!

And she burst into tears again at Marquiss jokes.

The Marquis, who didnt think she would be this sad, was shocked.

The people around laughed.

Barely calming Sarah, the Marquis looked at Jamie.

Our trustworthy Jamie.

Yes, grandfather.

The Marquis saw Tinas necklace hanging from Jamie's neck.

An ordinary necklace with no power now, but the existence of that alone was amazing.

Grandfather and grandmother too. Dont forget that we will always protect you.

I won't.

The next time we meet, I look forward to seeing how great you will be.

I will be a Great Magician by then.

Uhaha! So reliable!

The Marquis laughed loudly as if he liked Jamies answer.

He patted Jamies head with a satisfied expression. A bright child with a future. There would be many threats, but he was convinced.

He will be able to overcome them.

The Marquis wasnt sure when they would meet, but the Marquis prayed that it would be sooner.

Now we should get going.

I will definitely come next time.

Ill wait. Sir Tedley please look after them.

Dont worry.

Airak smiled.

The Marquis patted him on the shoulder and took a step back.

Move!

The carriage started.

The carriage carrying the Welton family began to leave Apton.

Sears, Sara and Jamie. All leaned out and waved at the Marquis.

And the Marquis too waved his hand at the moving carriage.

Neither stopped waving until the carriage was out of sight. And when the carriage was no longer visible the Marquis lowered his hand.

I miss them already.

It had been just a few minutes, and he missed the grandkids.

When would he be able to see them again?

The Marquis shook his head.

And a servant put a coat over his shoulders.

Please come in. It is cold outside.

Yes.

Summer passed and the season of autumn was nearing.

But the Marquis couldnt rest.

He missed the kids, but there were problems which had to be solved.

At the center of it was Zenith church.

Kay, lets go and destroy that Zenith church.

The fight has just begun.

Since the kids were going back, he didnt have to be cautious now.

He could move more violently.

Ill show them why Bell is known to be a great family.

With a cold face, the Marquis headed to the office.

This was going to be his battlefield.

Full moon passed.

Before they knew it, the Welton family entered Haiss.

Fortunately nothing happened this time.

Such a familiar scene, right?

Yes!

To Sears question, Sarah answered.

Venna in her arms was a half-corpse. It was because she was tormented by Sarah.

And because of that, Venna would glare at Jamie.

Father is probably waiting for us.

I want to see father!

Jamie? You dont want to?

Of course I want to.

Actually he had no thought.

He couldnt answer that honestly, so he replied how a mother would want her son to reply.

Sears grabbed the two kids close to her chest and said.

Ha, who do these cute kids take after!

I am dying, mother!

Jamie thought as he looked outside the window again.

The carriage passed the boulevard and climbed up the hill where the Welton mansion was located.

In the distance, they could see the gates of the mansion with guards.

It has been so long, my Lady.

Everyone, you must have worked so hard.

Not at all. We will open the gate right away.

The guards opened the tightly shut gates.

The carriage entered the mansion.

Passing through the large garden, they saw the family mansion.

And a familiar face was waiting for them.

As soon as the carriage stopped, the door opened and Sarah ran out.

Father!

Oh my, my princess!

It was a dangerous thing to jump out, but for Count Welton who was a Sword master, it was nothing.

Sears was down after her, and sighed in relief with a look as if she hadnt seen him for ten years.

Haa- Sarah! What if you got hurt because of that?

Sorry

Haha. Dont scold her, my Lady. It is fine Sarah. Because this father of yours can handle whatever Sarah does.

Hehe.

At the reliable swords of the Count, Sarah wrapped her arms around his neck.

Sears got out of the carriage knowing she couldnt stop them now.

The Count gently wrapped his arm around her waist and then gave her a small kiss.

Must have been through a lot.

Sorry for leaving you alone for a month.

I wish I could say no, but I was lonely. What should I do? I thought I was going to die.

You too, seriously!

The couple didnt hesitate to show their affection regardless of the gazes of the servants.

And Jamie missed the timing to get off.

He coughed loudly.

Uhm! Uhm!

Ah, my Jamie. Come down.

The Count noticed Jamie belatedly and held out his hand in embarrassment.

I am home.

Jamie smiled and took his fathers hand.

The counts expression, who laughed awkwardly, soon went stiff.

Jamie you-

You cant be shocked at this. In the future, I will grow much faster than now.

Hu.

At Jamies words, the Count couldnt say anything.

It was because Count understood Jamies abilities the moment they held hands.

Jamie spoke to the Count.

Your children are growing up.

isnt that something a child, which you are, isnt supposed to say?

This was a conversation with a sense of Dj Vu, but the Count nodded with a happy expression.

This is my son.

Both looking at each other with similar expressions.

Sears and Sarah titled their heads at that.

What are you two taking about?

I dont get what you mean.

There is something. Come on, group hug.

Count Welton said while holding his wife and the two kids at the same time.

Everyone must have been through so much.

Jamie frowned in the Counts arm.

But it wasnt too bad.

He was finally back.

Home.
