Usotsuki Senki, Meikyu wo Yuku

Chapter 88

It's been a long time since I've been home, and that goes back to the day Lil was expelled for good. Since she was pushed into the apartment she now manages to be kicked out, Lil has never thought of going back to her parents' house.

That also means that Lil was pushing forward only to the front. At the same time, the fact is that the untrained to my parents faded over time.

On his way home, albeit temporarily, Lil decided to take only Alicia home. Heeko, of course, won't let Colo go to greet him.

That's how Lil went home, first of all she was welcomed by her mother.

Lil, who had just thought he would see his father as he was, would face his mother, who he hadn't seen in a long time, even though he was confused, but when he saw Lil, his mother leaked a "well" mourning voice.

"In such a belated outfit……………."

Come to think of it, Lil hasn't followed the epidemic of the past year at all. I wasn't corrupt until I tried to be good if I could wear it, but I didn't even think about exactly how the social fashion was. In the first place, there were no occasions to dress and leave, so I didn't have to worry about it.

Alicia and I were separated on the spot and polished by the servants of the mansion. If I thought it would be early if I had time for a call, that seems to be what I was planning to do from the beginning. At the end of the day, she was dressed in trendy clothes and forced to prepare herself, and Lil was finally sent by her satisfied mother to her father's waiting study.

"……… ha."

I haven't enjoyed my beauty in a long time, Lil, but I snuck out a sigh in front of the study door.

I got a little tired. Besides, to see him inside, he's dressed past some. But I don't have time to get dressed again.

What would my father think if I met him in this outfit where I could even go straight to the party?

I imagined a future that would be a little melancholy, but still breathes heavily when I have no way out of it.

"Excuse me, Father. Lildor, I'm here to respond to your call."

"Get in."

He was in there with a lame man asking if he wanted to hang on to fifty. The face that wrinkles, carves and carves the hard work that has been overcome and decorates it with a neat beard does not resemble a mother-like lil.

He is Lil's father.

My father frowned slightly when he saw Lil's outfit, but that was all. Without blaming Lil for inadvertently laying down his face, he lifts one of the letters he has on his desk in the study.

"Lildor. The Symphony Medal has been contacted. You and your coronel, Heeko, are under your protection. All three were recognized for their remarkable accomplishments in the crusade of fifty hierarchical lords Kanyel and were entitled to attend this spring's Medal Ceremony."

The call was extremely simple and merely a communication.

Praise medals given to fifty hierarchical main crusaders. It is an honor that even the transient ones are considered to be of significant merit. As long as I give him the bounty, he will come to Lil's parents' house as long as he contacts the Medal. So I guess the contact between Colo and Heeko went to the archivist as well.

"At the same time as the award of your Mithril weapon, which has been applied for more than once, it seems to soften the medal. Three days from now. It was a sudden story because it was screwed into the vacant seat of Kuguts-Hornett, which was originally planned, but keep in mind."

"Sure, I got it. The other two will be notified without delay."

"Great. That's it. That's it."

Communication of row seats to the Symphony Ceremony. I see. It does matter. But that still makes me think.

This would suffice if you sent me even one of the letters, and I loosen my lips sarcastically inside.

That's it, Lil lifts her head when she receives the invitation, but she wasn't told to leave.

"Now, sit there a little bit."

"Father?

Lil, who was even thinking of leaving soon to prepare himself for all of this, is punctuated by unexpected developments.

What my father pointed to was the chair he had placed there.

"What, it's not much of a reason. I don't think I ever had a drink with my son, but I never had a daughter."

Answer what, without making a scene, to Lil, who asks with a glance.

A bewildered lil, my father rings the bell that was on the tabletop. It was a magnificent man dressed in deacon clothes who responded to the call. He was a member of a clan who served as a servant to the Archivist for generations, as well as Alicia's father.

He entered the room with a bottle of wine.

There are two glasses.

"Drink."

"... Oh, thank you very much."

Lil receives the cup, even though he is out of shape. Father, red wine is poured in the order of the lils.

"Again, it's been a while, Lil 'Doll"

"Yes, Father"

"I hear what you're doing. You've done so much for me in the past year."

"But I'm sorry, I'm sorry………?

"Why apologize? You've done yourself a proud honor."

I'm nervous about Lil's mindset about what's going to start, and there's nothing to say about what started. It was just a public story, trying to fill a blank year.

"Do you resent me for not discerning your genius and banishing you?

"No… I deserved to be banished"

Without a mouthful of poured wine, Lil mocks herself.

Once upon a time I was prepared a path that had been paved by my father or by my mother as a noble lady. I guess I couldn't even walk there, I didn't even notice the path, I guess I was nothing short of incompetent.

Regardless of just the childhood, it's only natural to discern the lil that has been such a body since adulthood.

"Right. To the extent that you can see it, is it just growing?"

My satisfied nodding father has nothing to offer his head to Lil either.

Even Lil doesn't want you to keep your head down. No, I rather didn't want you to apologize.

"That's something I don't understand. You were supposed to be the stupidest. I didn't know you'd make the best of it. I wonder a little bit about my eyes... but the possibility of a child with room for growth is horrible."

"Speaking of which, your brothers..."

"Hmm. Nothing in particular has been accomplished yet. I'm still a chick. Time stacks but failures and successes are not enough for all experiences. You should be aware that you did something out of standard."

My father, drunk and slightly blushed, throws up. Apparently, my son's fuzziness is overwhelming.

"However…….."

Am I drunk? My father loosens his eyes strangely when he looks at Lil.

"Are you also due for the ball from now on?

"This is…… your mother."

To my father's point, lay down your eyes and show that you are not serious.

"I guess. That one, though, isn't bad. As an aristocratic wife, that is correct."

"I know."

And Lil doesn't mean she doesn't like her mother.

Even the clothes I'm wearing now, they must have been all set for Lil. It wasn't the kind of amount Lil could prepare after he found out he was coming to the house. Perhaps Lil was able to come back whenever he wanted, and he kept his clothes in line while Lil was away.

Lil was able to realize for the first time today that she was the mother who would do that.

Probably a lot of aspects of that person you don't know.

My father in front of me is probably one of them.

Lil stared at the poured wine.

I thought they didn't love me. I have always thought that I had been abandoned.

But I'm sure it's different.

My father, my mother, must have loved me about myself. You didn't love yourself the most. Lil 'Wagamama must have been proud of her arrogance, her stupidity. Still, it's not like you didn't turn your back on me.

There are too many things that Lil has overlooked because he thinks he has seen them.

"So, what are we going to do?"

"What do you say we do now?

"It's the operation of the clan you set up. You named yourself an adventurer, but you're leaving the other line?

Lil opens her eyes all the time.

My father told me that Lil noticed the identity of the discomfort he was feeling in him.

"Step aside, step aside"

"That's right. If we have achieved so far, one way to focus is to make the organization big and strong and permanent, right?

That's right. Now I have a choice.

Unlike when I was walking down the path my parents had shown me, I had no choice but to move on. An individual adventurer, an option is being created that was not available when he had only the means to dive into the labyrinth himself.

For the first time now, Lil had the right to think and choose his future.

"That is…… not yet clear"

"Hmm. Doesn't it change that you have no idea"

Dialogue similar to rumbling, but no colour to scorn.

He was originally a tough guy. Ask others for the same rigour for being tough on you. Perhaps it makes it tougher because it's inside me. That's who he was.

"If you need help running your clan, I'm not going to spare you"

"Support?

"Naturally, I guess?

Affirming lightly, my father sips down the wine. Red liquid was poured into the empty glass. That's the third drink.

"If you say so, your clan operation is your own business. And the formula to fail is limitless low. Then it will also be a chase to the Hornet family. Think about it."

"……… Yes"

Lil snorts slightly and realizes it. Admittedly. It's not the same as Colo's trust that you believe unconditionally.

My father looked like a great man who could manipulate a man's destiny. In fact, the archivists are one of the great national nobles in the country. It does not change that my father is in a position where he can change the fate of others with one fingertip.

I was happy to be recognized for the track record I was building up because I knew my father with that power.

Lil mouths the red wine he was pouring for the first time. The wine, which had a good acidity and a reduced tannin, had a good palate, and then slipped down his tongue and fell into his stomach.

"Lil 'Doll. You didn't drag your loss, you built feats that captured the future with your power alone"

My father speaks to Lil, who slowly put his mouth on the poured wine.

I am proud of my abilities that I have acquired. So it's impossible for Lil to pull a hand from something called an adventurer. I got the ability I wanted and I got into the position I wanted to be in. Lil is satisfied with his life.

"In the past you were mistaken, but the position of nobility is a title given to the way of life. People who personally disrupt the fate of others are not trusted. But now you make a way of life worthy of being called aristocracy. It's natural to be proud of the abilities you've acquired. Just remember one thing."

Close your eyes and the father tells his daughter.

"Being able to manipulate the fate of others doesn't just leave your fate behind."

"…… Yes. I remember the liver."

"Well, it doesn't mean what happens when you know. So, will you receive your new surname?

"Yes."

Just as Colo is, Lil is also allowed to name her own sexuality outside of the archives. The first thing that comes to mind with that right is what Lila once said.

'Even though it's not even a family name I grabbed myself, that's all I can be proud of. It's just that I can't find the value of remembering your name. "

You can cover the words that once knocked Lil out of his skin.

Lil also wants to name the family name Lil grabbed herself.

"What a name?

"No Limit Glow"

I have my own philosophy.

There is a light that Colo illuminated for me.

So I want to leave it in my own form. This is a slightly different reason why Colo wanted to represent Corona's name in the world.

Lil wants to take pride in the beauty she has shown in her name.

"Lildor Archive No Limit Glow. I'd like to call it that."

"Is that so?"

My father, hearing Lil's new name, smudges and crumbles.

"All your lack of naming sense since you were a kid didn't help."
