I Am Raising a Daughter in This Life 78

At sea (1)

Cities on the sea differed significantly from cities on the continent in terms of eating.

First of all, a variety of fresh seafood.

You can get it from other places if you give money, but it took time to transport it, so there was a big difference from getting it right away and eating it.

In addition, food ingredients are brought in from all over the world through sea routes, not land routes.

As if it was not a tourist city for nothing, the food in San Taylor was literally the best.

“Dad, Dad, try this. Really, really delicious! Wow, the shrimp are so delicious.”

Of course, Rize had a good appetite.

“oh my god. It’s really not a joke. It’s the first time in my life to eat something like this. Ah, Dad! It’s mine, why take it! Senior, can I order more?”

Scarlett also continued to eat while chattering nonstop.

Douglas and Irina were eating in silence, but it seemed that they were satisfied.

Kisero seemed to be intending to eat the entire menu at the restaurant, but he had no choice but to stop those who wanted to eat more for the next schedule and dinner.

After dinner, we headed to the beach, of course.

It was still too early for swimming, so I just enjoyed it lightly.

There were still tourists swimming, though.

“Ahahahaha, it’s so cool here. Oh, Scarlett sister, come with me! Wow, these waves are huge. Wow, that’s cold.”

The lively figure of Rize running through the gravel field and dipping her toes into the waves was like a painting.

Because of that, Irina, who took the camera away from me, was preoccupied with taking pictures of Rize as she was stretching.

Actually, I tried to do it, but I was too stubborn, so I had no choice but to give in.

Looking at Scarlett, who was happily playing along with Rize, I suddenly looked to the side and saw Douglas standing still and watching.

“Senior, aren’t you bored?”

Since it was a trip for Rize, consideration for Douglas had to be neglected.

But Douglas didn’t answer my question and went on to say something else.

“I feel a lot when I see you.”

“yes? me?”

“I thought I loved my daughter as much as you did, but I didn’t know it had been a long time since I saw her smile like that. I thought I would just focus on doing mercenary work now… … I never thought I’d still love running around like that… … .”

The sight of him dipping his feet in the seawater and splashing in the waves with Rize made him look like Rize’s age, if I had to say it.

It was fortunate that he was genuinely enjoying playing with Rize.

His father’s sensibility toward Scarlett was a little different.

“Since I was young, I haven’t been able to properly make even one insignificant friend because I’ve been following me around. Even when I had time to play with my peers, I followed them to hunt monsters… … I thought I had no desire to play like that anymore. But it was all just an illusion.”

“I think I did it out of consideration for you.”

“Yes, I guess. because that’s a child So thank you very much. It’s not easy to include an outsider on a family trip like this.”

“Lizee likes it that way. No matter how much I gave permission, if Rize said no, she wouldn’t have come with me.”

At my answer, Douglas smiled and nodded.

“My daughter seems to have a lot of feelings for Rize, too. Maybe it’s because we’re in a similar situation, but even when we’re at home, we talk about Rize a lot.”

“Yes, I heard about the situation. For me, I’m just grateful for taking care of Rize like that.”

“Have you already talked about that? Huh, this must have been an old man messing around.”

“It’s not like that. Don’t get me wrong.”

The nobleman who used to stare at me fiercely when Scarlett and I clashed now used it as a joke, perhaps because he was used to it.

I don’t know what kind of change of heart there was.

And even if I said it that way, I was the only one who was in trouble.

“dad! Daddy come here too! Master too!”

“Yeah, why are you two doing this! It’s a long-awaited trip, so let’s not enjoy it together!”

Rize and Scarlett waved their hands toward us and called us.

Yes, it’s Rize’s birthday trip, so I can’t stay like this.

Me and Douglas moved on to their torch, dragging Irina, who was still taking pictures, along the way.

“Leave this. Today, I will be Lady Rize’s exclusive photographer. Oh, I have to take a picture now.”

“It’s okay, so go close and take a picture. Can’t you see Rize is calling?”

In the end, the five of us enjoyed childish water play together for a long time.

As a result, my body was naturally wet, so I had no choice but to go back to the dorm and wash and change clothes.

I came out again and headed straight to the market. In addition to selling various kinds of rare seafood and food, small performances were being held all over the place, befitting a tourist city.

It was to the extent that they were doing another performance after turning around.

Rize seemed to be quite satisfied with it, so it could be said that it was a perfect prelude to the trip.

It was evening time when the sun was already setting, and we decided to have a meal prepared at the inn instead of at the restaurant.

High-end dishes that cannot be found in ordinary restaurants were served one after another, and each one was enough to satisfy the palate.

However, at the age of hunger, Rize seemed to be lacking a little, but she was going to go out again and buy snacks at the night market anyway.

So, before that, there was work to be done.

“Then let’s have a party to celebrate Miss Rize’s birthday.”

“Wow, it’s cake!”

After the meal, a small cake prepared in advance was placed in front of Rize.

They put 11 birthday candles in, clapped their hands, and sang a happy birthday song energetically. Only Douglas seemed embarrassed, but the rest of the people, including me, sang with sincerity and heart.

When the song ended, Rize blew out the candles, and after clapping for a while, Rize suddenly stood up and bowed.

“Thank you for the congratulations!”

How can you have such a good daughter?

I clapped wildly with overflowing emotions, but was stopped by Irina.

What followed after that was the birthday present time.

“Come on, Rize. happy birthday.”

“thanks sister!”

Rize smiled brightly and accepted the small box Scarlett gave. Somehow, after thinking for a while, Rize looked at Scarlett again and asked.

“Can I open it now?”

“then! Open it quickly, quickly.”

At Scarlett’s urging words, Rize immediately unwrapped the string that wrapped the box, opened it, and carefully took out what was inside.

“Oh wow… … .”

“Isn’t it pretty?”

It was an earring.

It was also an ear cuff, a type of ear cuff that could be worn directly over the ear without the need to pierce the ear.

Rize, who was looking at the earring with sparkling eyes, raised her head again, and Scarlett smiled and slightly turned her face to show her ear.

“Tada, that’s also paired with my sister.”

“you are pretty! Thank you so much, sister.”

Scarlett put the earrings directly on Lize’s ears, which made her happy, and when she brushed her hair to reveal her ears, they looked really good.

“Now I have to look good. Ah, but it’s good to separate them when fighting monsters. Sometimes you get caught, you can be surprised when you see something shiny, and after saying this, it’s a really hopeless job, isn’t it?”

That was the reason she wasn’t obsessed with accessories.

After all, if you fight monsters, you have no choice but to take them all out.

“Keuheum, what am I, I’m not a big deal.”

When Scarlett’s gift was over, Douglas cleared his throat in embarrassment and opened his mouth.

Then, without wrapping it, he placed a dagger wrapped in a scabbard on the table and pushed it toward Rize.

“It will be mainly used to dismantle monsters or slaughter prey, but it will be sufficient to use it for attack in case of emergency. I ordered it from a workshop I know personally, so I can’t guarantee the quality.”

“Wow, thank you, Master!”

Lise was delighted and accepted the dagger, but Scarlett next to her gave Douglas a fierce look.

“No, what kind of brutality do you give a girl something like this for her birthday?”

“It’s okay because I like it.”

“Then the packaging should be fine. I really have no sense.”

“… … .”

Hearing the unexpected bruise, Douglas became sullen, but regained his original expression thanks to Rize’s sincere consolation.

And then it was Irina who took out the box.

“This is not a gift from me, it is from Ms. Martin.”

“Eh? Did he send you a gift too?”

“Irvin asked me to be careful not to get caught.”

The child… … !

I don’t know if he really said that, but if I had known, I would have opened it up to see if there was any danger.

Rize accepted the present and opened her mouth with a smile.

“hehehe, I should send a letter thanking the teacher.”

Could it be that such a paving stone was laid to keep in touch periodically through letters?

I watched as Rize unwrapped the box, thinking that I should go to the Mage Tower someday and talk to that person after a long time.

“uh?”

Seeing what was inside, Rize tilted her head.

What we took out from inside was a crystal ball big enough to hold with both hands, so we couldn’t help but be puzzled.

Apparently, everyone here didn’t know much about magic, so they didn’t even know what that thing was.

Rize opened the letter that came with it and read it quickly, then nodded and said.

“This, if you put mana while meditating, it helps to build up mana in your body. hehehe, I should try it right away.”

indeed. To send magic tools needed for magic training.

It could have been simply an intention to help Rize, but I also wondered if it was a reprehensible intention to ask her to think of her every time she meditated.

As Martin was put in the first place to be wary of, Irina also quickly put the box away as if she wasn’t happy with it, then took out her gift and handed it to Rize.

“Thank you, Sister Irina!”

“once… … Open it.”

However, the way Irina spoke seemed somewhat difficult.

Rize also opened the long box while putting on a puzzled expression as to whether she felt it as well.

And what was revealed was a short staff called a wand.

There is a blue jewel attached to the top, so I thought it would go well with Rize’s eyes.

To Rize, who was appreciating the supposedly good wand, Irina spoke with difficulty.

“that… … It was used by your mother.”

Hey, is that mean?

Those words inadvertently rose up and down his throat.

He said something like that to me, and I never thought he would take out something like that from there.

While I was forced to do this, Rize made a slightly surprised expression, then looked at the wand with slightly changed eyes along with a soft smile.

“Yeah, thank you, sister. dearly… … I’ll deal with it.”

“thank you.”

With such a cozy atmosphere, Rize’s birthday gift presentation ended… … The moment I was about to finish it.

“Wait a minute. Didn’t you prepare anything, senior?”

“… … I have prepared everything for this trip.”

Everyone’s eyes turned to me at Scarlett’s sudden words.

This time, I really didn’t have any special gifts prepared because I was preparing for the trip.

That’s why I was watching Rize’s reaction anxiously whenever I did something.

But Scarlett held out her finger as if it was unacceptable.

“A trip is a trip and a gift is a gift. Everyone prepared presents like this, so it makes sense that I’m not alone.”

You scratch your pride like this again.

Rize looked like she had no other thoughts, just enjoying the situation, but if she backed down, it wouldn’t make sense as a father.

I gladly accepted the challenge.

“great. All right.”

After saying that with a nod of my head, I added a word while looking at Rize with a determined expression.

“I’ll catch a very whale tomorrow.”
