385 – 368.Epilogue-1
“Haa… !”
Hot breath disappeared in the cold wind.
Pure white crystals that fell from the sky with strong winds began to pile up on my head and shoulders.
A body that has become cold. However, because he could not feel the cold, his legs took a long stride forward.
It was only when my toes touched the door that my legs, which had been moving like machines, finally stopped.
A bright light was coming out from beyond the door.
Just looking at it made me feel warm, and like a moth to fire, I reached out my hand without realizing it.
Kkiik-!
The door slowly opened with a loud noise coming from the old hinges.
At the same time, several small footsteps were heard from beyond the door.
“It’s dad!”
“Dad!”
“Baaat!”
Cute children were gathering at the entrance with lively voices.
I shook my body, brushed all the snow off my head and shoulders, and went inside.
I spread my arms wide and lifted up the children who were running towards me.
“Ahahahaha! “It’s cold!”
“Dad, your body is like ice!”
“Your nose is as red as a strawberry!”
The warmth coming from the children’s soft skin melted my body and mind.
The corners of my mouth naturally went up, and my arms became stronger so as not to drop even a single child.
Meanwhile, behind the children, their guardian, a woman with an elegant air, walked out and spoke bitterly.
“Wow! “What did you tell me to do first when Dad came back?”
“Uh…. Ah! Hello!”
“””””Welcome back!”””””
“Foot!”
When the eldest daughter answered correctly, the other children chirped the same thing like parrots.
I found myself laughing out loud while looking at the children’s pure and innocent appearance.
It’s cute. Other than that, I couldn’t think of anything else to say.
“Yes.”
When I hugged the children, they all laughed and were happy.
When I saw the smiles of those children, I felt like all my fatigue was gone.
“Let’s sleep! Kids, daddy needs to eat mamma. “Let’s ask you to play later.”
“”””””Yes!””””””
One by one, the children in my arms jumped down and returned to the toys they had been playing with before.
After everyone left, my body felt lighter, but I felt a little lonely.
Luckily, my heart, which was lacking, was filled with Renee approaching.
“Thank you for your hard work. “It’s very cold outside, right?”
“It’s okay. “You can move around safely even in a snowstorm even worse than now.”
“But please at least pretend to be cold sometimes. “When the kids see their dad, they know it’s not cold outside.”
“Okay, I’ll keep that in mind.”
“hehehe, then I’ll pack up your clothes and luggage, so go ahead and eat first. “My mother prepared dinner today.”
“Yes, but before that… ….”
“Eh?”
I walked up to Renee and kissed her lips.
A hug at home, something I haven’t been able to do lately because I’ve been taking care of or playing with my kids.
I combined all the parts I had put off and replaced them with kisses.
However, the effect was so great that Rene’s face turned red in a short while.
“Mom and Dad are kissing!”
“Kiss!”
“Dad! Me too! Me too!”
“Ugh… ! Hey, guys? “I give you kisses after daddy eats!”
“Woo! Behave shamefully!”
“That’s right! “It’s shameful to only do this to your mother!”
“Moms who monopolize dads, wake up! “Please guarantee us daddy’s kisses too!”
“Where did you learn that word?!”
Renee was embarrassed by her children’s backlash following her surprise kiss.
Normally, she would not lose her composure despite the children’s complaints, but my kiss seems to have been the final blow.
The children also became more excited after seeing Renee’s disheveled appearance.
I ended up helping the children unintentionally.
But I ignored it and walked into the kitchen.
[Are you not helping me?]
“Sometimes it’s fun when the tables are turned.”
Renee could tell from the trembling corners of her mouth that she was very happy on the inside.
I didn’t want to break the pain by getting between her and the children.
As I entered the kitchen in a warm atmosphere, there was someone who was held in my arms just like the children.
“Welcome, honey!”
“Uh, uhh. Huh.”
Breese rushed at me with only an apron on his body.
Even though ten years had passed since I first met her, her appearance had not changed one bit.
Perhaps that’s why people still react when you dress in an eye-catching outfit like you do now.
“There are children there, so wouldn’t dressing like this be a little emotional?”
“It’s okay. “I lied that I was wearing clothes that were only appropriate for adults, so everyone responded that they wanted to grow up quickly!”
“Did Renee say anything?”
“Of course I got scolded. So I was dressed properly until honey came!”
“Please wear your clothes properly in areas other than the bedroom.”
“Are you saying you can wear it like this in bed?”
“Because I can accept it with as much joy as I want on the bed.”
“Then there is nothing we can do!”
Taaak!
Breese snapped her fingers and a thin layer of clothing was added to her flesh-colored skin.
Only then did I have a place to focus my eyes and was able to save a day.
“Go ahead and sit down! “Today, I made an amazing stew using beef brought in from the village below!”
“My cooking skills are getting better every day.”
“Why are you like this? Even after giving birth to Renee, she often cooked!”
“Renee said that her mother’s cooking when she was young was terrible?”
“At that time, there were so many things to worry about besides cooking that I didn’t have time to practice cooking! But now, the mothers are sharing the roles among themselves, and we are putting a lot of effort into the taste and nutrition as many children eat it!”
“Yes, that’s why I’m praising you.”
“Really? “It sounded like they were trying to turn things around by exposing my dark history.”
“Most of this is an illusion.”
Breeze was looking at me intently with her eyes half closed.
When I raised her arms, saying that I had no other intention, she reluctantly agreed and scooped up another ladleful of her stew and transferred it to her bowl.
“The amount was sufficient…….”
“There’s a saying, ‘Give the ugly guy one more piece of rice cake, right?’
“Ahahahaha……. “Have I already become a hateful person?”
“That’s right. “He’s an ugly guy.”
While I was eating stew, Breeze grabbed me by the collar.
He pulled her and brought her face closer.
“I hate you so much that I want to eat you up right here.”
With those words, Breeze placed her lips on mine.
Then he licked my lips once with his tongue and fell.
“Hmm! My cooking skills have definitely improved as you said. “Of course it’s me!”
“Ha, hahahaha… !”
If the relationship between me and Renee is equal parts merit, then Breeze is the exact opposite.
It was the same when we met in the past, but he was good at pushing things.
Where on earth did Renee’s easy-going personality come from?
I think she resembles my mother, Renee’s paternal grandmother…… The truth was that no one could know.
“Sorry to disturb you! “I won’t touch it anymore, so enjoy it.”
“It’s okay. “I couldn’t see the youngest among the kids. Where is he?”
“I’m sleeping soundly.”
“Then Rin must be taking care of it.”
Like Renee, Lynn also took care of her children with love, even those who did not come out of her own womb.
In particular, she is the type of mother who prioritizes children’s safety, so she always protects her children.
Leaving the awake children to Renee, she stayed by her sleeping youngest child’s side.
“No, Rin went out with Chaon earlier, and I was taking care of the youngest while preparing the meal.”

“Huh? It’s no big deal. “Do you know where it went?”
“The empire beyond the sea recently declared war against the kingdom, right? “They said that the area we live in might become dangerous because of this, and that they would cut down everything and come back?”
“You’re being overprotective…” ….”
I understand the meaning of preventing harm to children, but it has gone too far.
Considering diplomatic issues, it was something I shouldn’t have done rashly, so I’ll go see Lin early tomorrow morning.
If it was already too late, we would have no choice but to conquer the empire and threaten the emperor.
“Aww!”
“It looks like our youngest has just woken up.”
A cute baby toddled out of a room with the lights off.
The baby, who was still sleepy and twitching her eyes, smiled brightly as soon as she saw my face.
“Bappa!”
“Did our youngest sleep well?”
“Bah! Bar!”
The youngest child crawled and lunged at me without hesitation.
In the meantime, small cotton balls came out in droves from the room where the youngest child had come out.
Baby puppies, reminiscent of black sesame rice cakes, surrounded and blocked the crawling youngest child.
He is protecting his youngest child because he is worried that he might get hurt.
The youngest child, who was surrounded by puppies and being licked with his tongue, laughed and rolled around on the floor.
Breese and I, who were watching the scene, covered our mouths.
‘Ears, cute… !’
A collaboration between a newborn baby and a baby puppy, the ultimate in cuteness.
I was ecstatic to see in person the scene that I had only seen on video sites before I was possessed.
But her youngest child wanted her father’s touch, so I lifted her puppies together with her.
“Ugh! “Our cute babies!”
“Kyaaa!”
“Wow!”
“Heh heh!”
“King! King!”
The youngest was smiling brightly, and her puppies changed their target to me and started licking her face with their tongues.
“Ahh! “Dad only cares about the youngest children!”
“What?”
“That is unacceptable!”
“Dad, us too!”
Eventually, the children playing in the living room joined in and attacked me.
The children’s affection is so heart-warming.
All the children here were my beloved treasures.
