397 – Side Story: Final Story – 4
I told them to prepare because I was going to meet my parents in a big way, but in reality, there weren’t many people I had to meet.
I personally killed Caecilia’s parents while dealing with her demon-related relatives, and I indirectly killed the scum who claimed to be Aurora’s father by setting a trap.
There is no way Minerva’s parents are still alive, and even when Nyx existed as the guardian of the soul, she never said a word about her parents, and Eclipse is a goddess in the first place.
And in the case of Floretta, Luna, Stella, and Selene…….
“You know that I’m an orphan, right? “If I have a parent, it is Sister Lucia, and she was laid to rest by the saint himself.”
“Me too. Although it was unbearably difficult at the time, looking back now, it must have been penance for this moment.”
Stella grew up with Lucia virtually taking on the role of her mother, and Selene also lost her parents at an early age and grew up as a combat nun. Both were estranged from their parents.
“Our parents were embraced by the sun a long time ago.”
“Yes. “I hope you both are resting comfortably in the embrace of the moon.”
The same was true for Floretta and Luna. Their parents also died a long time ago due to old age.
The Pope of the Moon and the Pope of the Sun who appeared in Bronze IV had the appearance of old men, so it would not be particularly strange if Floretta and Luna’s ages were the same as theirs.
“Wait a minute. “Then how old are you?”
“… ….”
“… ….”
Floretta and Luna avoided answering. Apparently, those two were also older than expected.
This is a fact that I have always felt for a long time, but in a world where the concept of aging does not exist, it was difficult to tell how old a person is based on appearance alone.
“One, you will be able to meet him if he is the head of the Isar family.”
“Yes. “Delta, I will make arrangements in advance so that we can meet at any time if you wish.”
“Isn’t the head of the house supposed to be younger than you?”
Their cheeks puffed out to the fullest. I laughed and poked his cheek to get all the air out of his mouth.
In the end, after some consolation accompanied by some physical contact, we agreed to meet the head of the Isar family instead of our parents. Floretta and Luna tidied up their disheveled clothes with satisfied faces.
As the situation progressed, the only people left were the knight commanders’ parents.
“I hope you listen to me without any misunderstanding.”
“What?”
“Are your parents alive and well?”
“…… Suddenly?”
I quickly explained things to the knight commanders before they made a strange misunderstanding. When I decided to meet my parents, I realized that except for the four of us here, we were all physically unable to do so.
After hearing my explanation, not only Rize but also Claudia, Erika, and Iris all changed into subtle expressions.
Excluding the goddess, there are a whopping twelve people, but this means that only four people actually have proper parents. In fact, two of them are sisters, so there are actually three of them.
“That…… No. I understand. “It’s worth asking that.”
“I understood too. “What can I say, I feel like I’ll be a b*tch if I say something weird.”
“…… “I won’t say anything about this matter.”
“Me too… ….”
“Oh my, my, my, my, my, my, my! Honey, look at our kids! “Where did you catch such a great man?”
“Okay then. Whose daughter am I? “You have eyes that see that well!”
“Was it really breasts?”
“Uh…… There are some that are similar in size to me, so it’s not really like that… ….”
The mother and daughter, who looked exactly like each other, were hugging each other, squealing and making a big fuss. Her posture was awkward due to her breasts being too large compared to her height, but neither of them seemed to mind at all.
“Hello, son-in-law! “Please take care of our Rize!”
Rize’s mother, who had been making a fuss for a while without paying attention to the people around her, came up to me and squeezed her hand.
“…… Do you have any other questions or anything?”
“Lize is someone’s daughter, and she must have taken care of bringing her in! And I heard that Erica also fell in love with her son-in-law? “My two daughters fell in love with the same man. Do I really need my verification?”
If I had to describe Rize’s mother in one line, I could define her as someone who copied and pasted Rize.
No, in this case, I would have to explain that Rize is a daughter who seems to have copied and pasted her mother.
Blue eyes, blue hair, big breasts, tall height, and even a boisterous personality and ponytail hair style that covered one eye all matched.
“Twelve people?! Ouch! “It’s been worthwhile teaching you, my daughter!”
When Rize’s mother heard that there were 12 women among her, including the previous emperor, the current emperor, the eternal wizard, the sun pope, and the moon pope, she jumped up and down with joy.
Her actions and speech were so lively that one could believe they were sisters rather than mother and daughter. In fact, Erica, who was shaking her head beside her, looked more like her mother.
Rize’s father, who was worse than him, even said a word to his son-in-law to keep his body in front of him. But Rize’s mother simply ignored that one word.
“I’m sorry. As you can see, her wife has that kind of personality.”
“I’m fine. And you can use informal language with me…….”
“No matter how much he is my son-in-law, I can’t do that. “You have His Majesty the Emperor and His Holiness the Pope.”
On the contrary, Rize and Erika’s father was a person who looked exactly like Erika. In this case, she must say that Erica looks just like her father.
Her red hair and red eyes were the same, her calm personality was the same, and even the slightest point of using polite language was the same.
Erica felt sorry for her older sister who was hugging her mother and squealing, and Erica’s father was embarrassed for his wife cuddling with her daughter and squealing at her.
“This is a family full of personality.”
“If you put it in a good way, yes. To put it in a bad way, it is a family that is divided into two and play separately. “It would be nice if her sister had half as much personality as her dad.”
“Then Erica, won’t you also have a personality half like that of your mother?”
“…… “Now that I think about it again, she doesn’t seem so bad now.”
Erika must have imagined herself acting like Rize, and she shuddered.
“She is like me, lacking in cuteness and has a blunt personality, but I ask you to take care of her daughter, even though she is lacking.”
Iris’s mother was very calm. Should I say that she is a person who is close to the default type of personality that is commonly referred to as ‘unmanned’. She was a person who seemed to have no interest in anything other than the sword.
It was like that from the moment we first met her, she was waiting for her on her knees in the middle of her sparring room.
Iris was scared when she heard that her mother was waiting for her at the sparring hall, so she ran first, but she couldn’t break her strong will, so she sighed and greeted me. Did.
“For my child to stay by the side of such a wonderful man is an invaluable result for her mother.”
Nodding, Iris’ mother lowered her head. Silver eyes, the same color as her daughter’s, disappeared behind her eyelids, and silver hair, the same color as her daughter’s, flowed softly.
I, who was kneeling with her, also bowed my head in response. Iris, who was right next to me, muttered in a slightly distressed voice.
“She is someone who will become a family member in the future, so shouldn’t she have relaxed a little?”
“Because you are going to become family, you need to be more polite, Iris. If you don’t have courtesy, at some point you will cross a line in the name of friendship, and if you cross the line, your feelings will be hurt, and once your feelings are hurt, they will never be healed. “Remember that emotions are always just an overlay.”
Although this was her only daughter’s request, Iris’ mother was adamant. She had a hard way of speaking that was unique to Iris and you could tell where her personality came from.
Still, her affection for her daughter seemed genuine, judging by the warm smile on her face when she spoke with Iris. Iris also became much more charming in front of her mother.
Both of us have different personalities, so we just can’t express ourselves well.
“Please take care of me.”
Unlike Rize and Erica’s mother, who took up a lot of time with various things that were the culmination of all kinds of noise and turmoil, the meeting with Iris’s mother went smoothly.
Thanks to that personality, there was no reason to make a fuss or waste time, and there was no reason to oppose me.
However, it was a little disappointing that I couldn’t meet her father’s side, but she is a very free-spirited person and was said to be away somewhere on the continent, so I decided to wait until next time.
“As your future mother-in-law, may I ask you a favor?”
Finally, Iris’s mother asked for a sparring match. It is said that she is a person of outstanding ability who has twelve wives, and her desire to win rises as she wonders how outstanding her abilities will be.
She had no reason to refuse, so she accepted and grabbed the wooden sword for sparring. From the first time we met, Iris scolded her son-in-law, asking what he was doing, but as if she couldn’t overcome her mother this time, she sneakily approached me and whispered to me.
“Fight with all your might, Delta. So thoroughly that you won’t even think about attacking me again. “You can break her bones enough that she needs a healing spell or drink a superior potion.”
“Still, aren’t you being too heartless for being your mother, Iris?”
“I’m saying this because she’s my mother. She said don’t worry, you can smash it. I know her mother’s personality very well. My, my…… “She will most likely be very happy if her husband-to-be defeats you.”
“Okay.”
I was thinking that I couldn’t beat up Iris’s mother, but if she said something like that, it would be rude for her to tolerate it.
However, since she couldn’t really give it her all, she decided to end it in a way that showed the gap in her power. She said Iris could break her bones, she said, but she wasn’t that kind of a little bit, and she would just end up with a hump.
“Please do me a favor.”
It was a sparring match that happened out of nowhere, and it was a situation I had never experienced before in Bronx 4, but it didn’t matter.
Now, I don’t have to memorize patterns, I can beat even the top players on the continent like Caecilian, Minerva, Floretta, and Luna with just my physical ability.
Iris’s mother was hit on the head in one hit without even swinging her arm properly and was thrown out in the middle of her sparring room. Her beaten forehead turned bright red and swollen.
“…… “As expected, you are great.”
“Isn’t it a shame that the only thing you can say about waking up 30 minutes after passing out is that it’s great?”
“…… Huh. “Be quiet, Iris.”
Iris’s mother blushed and cleared her throat. Then, as if to conclude her situation, she gave Iris her advice.
“We both were women before we were warriors. The joy of being loved by someone you love is also important. In that sense, you met a very nice man, Iris. Never miss it. Even if necessary, use your body.”

“… ….”
This time it was Iris’ turn to blush.
The last time I met Claudia’s mother was a little special.
“Come on, come on! Drink it all up, son-in-law!”
“Hey, how much more do I have to drink…” ….”
“My son-in-law can’t walk on his own two feet today! “You can either carry my daughter on your back, or you can sleep here with my daughter!”
“… ….”
No, not just a little, it was very special.
Unlike the two before her, Claudia’s mother, who for the first time had hair and eyes of a different color than her daughter, passed on to her daughter not a similar appearance, but different features.
“There is no such thing as drinking and dying! “If you can’t drink when you’re dead, why should you die?”
The characteristic is that it is an enormous amount per share.
As soon as Claudia’s mother heard that I was coming, she bought all the alcohol in the city where she lived, and I gave her father that amount of gold coins.
Claudia’s father refused several times at first, saying that although the expenses were large, they were not unmanageable, and when his daughter, who could not see the situation, offered support, he expressed his gratitude and handed over the money.
Honestly, if it was within a certain range, I was planning to return it through Claudia later, but when I heard the amount used to purchase alcohol, I couldn’t leave it to a later date.
“Today we drink and die! Do you understand, son-in-law?!”
“…… “Didn’t you just say that there is no such thing as death after drinking it?”
“Don’t worry about such trivial things! “The important thing is the alcohol!”
Of course, it was our responsibility to dispose of that enormous amount of alcohol. The drinking party started in the morning and continued without a break until the clock turned more than once and night fell.
For your information, Claudia’s father was not good at drinking and left long ago. But when I asked him how he could get married, he said it was so cute how he was desperately gulping down alcohol to impress me.
Claudia’s mother didn’t care that her husband was missing and just drank with her daughter and son-in-law by her side.
She drank and drank until her nose wasn’t just crooked, it was crooked 360 degrees and went back to normal. Even I was on the verge of getting a little sick of the incredible amount of alcohol consumed.
“If I drink water like that, my stomach will explode and I will die.”
“…… “My mom is like that.”
“A little?”
“…… “A lot.”
Without exaggerating, there were two things that brought down Claudia’s mother, who was fine even after drinking so much alcohol that she could fill an entire floor with empty bottles.
Her daughter made it for her son-in-law, a 183% alcoholic beverage, and a moon kiss that was almost impossible to see outside the castle.
Both of them, as Claudia’s mother and her primary caretaker, were things they could never ignore, so it was natural that their eyes were completely averted.
“hehehehe…… As expected, our son-in-law…… I passed…… Pass…… Mom’s seal is broken…….”
Claudia’s mother, who was swaying after drinking two bottles of 183% alcohol that her daughter said she made herself and even downing the moon’s kiss, said ‘I passed’ only after confirming that I was fine after drinking the same amount of alcohol. After saying this, I stretched out.
If you look at the fact that he drank two bottles of that alcoholic mass and still managed to kiss the moon for a while, he is definitely not an ordinary human being. I clicked my tongue and used magic to clean up the mountain of empty liquor bottles.
When I had almost finished putting away the bottle, Claudia, who had fully stretched out, came to my side.
“You look just like your mother, Claudia.”
“…… “That’s a compliment, right?”
