46 . Babies who are harder to deal with than a warrior’s party
When we went outside, the warm sunlight lit up the roadside as if to bless our future.
However, each person felt differently. Rihanna asked me, frowning with her short moan and covering the sun with her hand.
“Can’t we just take a carriage ride? Is there a reason you have to walk all the way to the Great Forest?”
At Rihanna’s question, I took a map out of her arms, opened it up, and started explaining by pointing my finger at where we were.
“It’s too much to go straight to the Great Forest by carriage. Money isn’t the problem, but there must be a lot more coachmen who reject it in the first place? This area is a dangerous road that has been known to rampage monsters lately, so I won’t try to go there. So I will go mainly on foot and take a carriage only occasionally.”
If you read the newspaper, you can find out how the world around you works, even if you don’t like it. I don’t know about Rihanna, who doesn’t read books, but the embers of war were still breaking out here and there in the city near the Great Grove, located near the southwest of the continent.
Rihanna puffed out her cheeks as if to agree with my explanation, and pouted her mouth.
But she didn’t have any more complaints than that, perhaps because she proudly said that she would come along.
Leaving her little disaffected Rihanna behind her, asked her children, who were looking excited in contrast to her.
“Are you all right?”
The children nodded vigorously and answered.
“Yes, we are fine! Sister, tell me if it’s hard.”
“Right. If you are tired, you can rest at home. Because we can go by ourselves.”
Rihanna shook her head left and right, her face turning pale before she knew it.
“Oh no! Are you okay. I can go too.”
“Really? Then let’s go soon.”
As we left the village entrance with a little commotion, a cool breeze mixed with the smell of soil and grass gave off a peaceful, languid scent.
The weather made me want to go on a picnic right away, if not to go to the Great Forest.
However, it was forbidden to be careless.
During times of war, there was no law against infesting monsters coming down to private houses, and there was no guarantee that bandits would not reappear.
At that time, I had no choice because of the surprise attack, but this time I had to protect the children.
One unsightly faint is enough.
When I looked to the side casually, there was Olivia’s face staring at my profile.
I asked her in her sweet voice as she smiled at her sneakily.
“Daughter, what’s wrong? What did you put on her face?”
Olivia hurriedly avoided her gaze and replied with her face blushing.
“Ugh, nothing. I just love going on a trip with my dad….”
I messed up Olivia’s hair playfully once and told her how she felt now.
“It’s great that I’m traveling with my daughter too, right?”
There have been a lot of unpleasant things lately, so I forgot for a moment that just spending time with my family like this can make me feel happy.
Hearing my words, Olivia’s eyes lit up, and she looked up at me and asked back.
“Really?”
“Of course it’s real.”
Olivia crossed her arms around my arms, and she brought her own breasts to me as if to seduce her.
Her face blushed, but she didn’t show it. There was no way that Olivia had such an impure heart.
Since she was a child who had no awareness of this in the first place, this was enough to be accepted as an expression of affection between parents and children.
After finishing the conversation with Olivia that warmed a part of my heart, I continued walking towards her destination.
At first, the children who were happy to talk to each other gradually became less talkative.
You might be curious about our destination, Great Forest, but the children never asked a question about it.
I don’t know if they care about me or if they’re implicitly reluctant, but it’s nice not to be asked about it.
Since the Great Forest is an unknown territory where no detailed information has been revealed to humans, it was impossible to explain with vague knowledge.
About three hours later, as I glanced over at her, Rihanna was already panting for her breath, sticking out her tongue like her dog to cool her off.
Even with her petite frame, Rihanna only saw herself being attacked by her rucksack carrying herself.

Feeling sorry for that, I asked Rihanna insinuatingly.
“Tell me if you’re having a hard time. I will listen.”
Anyway, adding one piece of Rihanna’s luggage didn’t bother me.
In the past, I carried all of Rihanna’s luggage, as well as the other four’s. One backpack, which was much smaller than that time, was enough to carry.
Rihanna was taken aback by her offer of mine, and vehemently refused, waving her hand.
“It’s okay. I can’t leave everything to you again. Shouldn’t I carry my share of the burden too?”
When we were together at parties, I would never have thought that the guy who called me would have such a wonderful thought.
It was a sense of pride that made me want to stroke her hair inadvertently.`
Rihanna took her water bottle from her backpack pocket and gulped it in, then looked at her and me, who were staring at her, and asked in a puzzled tone.
“Why do you look like that?”
“No, because the feeling is new? I never imagined going on a trip with you again.”
She burst out with a smirk and answered briefly.
“The same goes for me.”
As I walk while talking, I gradually get used to the weight.
Well, considering the times when I was carrying more weight than this, this was nothing.

Feeling uneasy about the much more peaceful journey than I thought, I spoke in a calm voice to remind the children once again.
“Be careful because bandits or monsters may attack you again.”
Stella smiled, nodding her head.
“No, bandits are fine.”
“What do you mean by that?”
Stella looked at me with a belated look of surprise, covering her mouth with both of her hands.
Suspicious appearance to anyone. Elia, who was next to her, gave me gibberish excuses with a confused look.
“Oh, no. I heard that the person who rescued us at that time subdued all the bandits around. So you said you were safe for the time being.”
It sounds suspicious, but I decided not to doubt the children anymore.
I nodded moderately and walked forward again.
Another boring time passed, and Rihanna grabbed me by the collar.
His expression seemed to say that it was impossible now.
I felt like I was going to curse at any moment.
Listening to her thick swear words was a no-brainer. I’d heard it before, but when I listened to her swear words, which seemed to come from experience, I often lost my strength as if I had been hit by a whip on my balls. Of course, I have never experienced such a thing myself, but it is an example.
In any case, going through that experience again was a no-brainer.
Rihanna’s unspoken pressure forced me to stop and look around.
In the first place, the basis of travel was to preserve physical strength.
If you overdo it from the first day, it could interfere with your subsequent trip.
I got off the road, put my backpack down under a suitable tree, and asked the children.
“Shall we take a short break here?”
Although the surroundings are surrounded by trees, it is difficult to see from the outside, but it seems that it would be convenient to set up a tent or bonfire because the flat ground is continuous.
Optimal space that feels artificially created. I was a little dubious because it felt like we had a space at just the right moment, but for now, letting Rihanna and the kids rest is the priority.
Seeing the children nodding, I immediately set up the tent.
It’s already been four years, but the hand still remembers this sensation. In the blink of an eye, I was gathering dead branches to set up a tent and light a bonfire for the night when Olivia shouted at me.
“Dad! There’s a wild boar!”
At Olivia’s cry, I looked in the direction she was pointing.
The food itself was made to last for a long time, so it was tasteless, and it was very simple.
But can I call it a wild boar?

From the moment she stepped on the ground on all fours, she was already bigger than me, her protruding tusks looked like those of a saber-toothed tiger, and her thighs with clearly visible muscles were as thick as an adult woman’s. Was proud of
Even in the dark, the two eyes that glowed ferociously seemed to be looking at monsters.
He saw us, let out a powerful breath, then turned around and ran straight into the depths of the forest.
I could feel his power from the branches that were smashed whenever his body touched them.
A creature of that size was so magical that it was called a mountain army in the forest.
The moment I was about to say that I should give up on the wild boar and just eat the food I brought.
“Olivia? That….”
She already had her eyes set on her will.
“It’s okay! Am i the eldest daughter? You have to feed the other kids properly.”
Olivia took up her bow before I had time to stop her and went deep into the forest in pursuit of the wild boar.
“Olivia!”
This is not a small forest near a village.
If you don’t do it wrong, you could get lost. No matter how much she is an elf, a friend of the forest, she rarely goes outside, so how does she know the geography of the forest?
“Rihanna, take care of the kids!”
With a shriek, I immediately raised a torch and followed Olivia into the darkness of the forest.
