Lyuu’s family and Layla’s family (3)
I, Vergillus Groll, Lyuu’s father, thought: My granddaughter is so cute.
She was too cute. Just looking at her made my face smile involuntarily.
My granddaughter’s baby brother was also cute. He was adorable, but… but, I’m sorry to say, I couldn’t help but think that my granddaughter was cuter.
If anything, she might be the cutest in the world.
“Aa, Aai? Auu” (Riou)
“Oh, what’s wrong? My granddaughter.” (Vergillus)
“Aww, buuuuuh!” (Riou)
My granddaughter stretched out her little arms and legs as far as she could and touched me curiously.
Her ears moved in a twitching motion.
“You…” (Lyuu’s Mother)
“You’re embarrassing me, so please come back to your senses.” (Lyuu’s Mother)
“I’ve always been in my right mind.” (Vergillus)
“I guess so. Why don’t you have some tea for now then?” (Lyuu’s Mother)
“Father, you enjoy tea. I’ll take care of Riou. It seems like she’s in a good mood today, which is good.” (Lyuu)
I handed my granddaughter, who I was holding, to my daughter and drank some tea. It was delicious.
“Hahaha, your parents are so funny.” (Eldogalia)
“No, really, it’s the first time I’ve seen my father … I’m so embarrassed.” (Lyuu)
“That’s just how male parents are. Your husband was like that for a while after your child was born, was what Illuna and the others told me.” (Eldogalia)
The person speaking with my daughter while laughing was a member of the Sheep Horn clan. Her name was Eldogalia.
She was related to one of the wives of Yuki, the Demon Lord, making us somewhat related to each other.
I cleared my throat and tried to make up for it by saying, “Excuse me, I’m a bit disoriented because this is my first granddaughter.” (Vergillus)
“I thought you’d lost your mind.” (Lyuu)
“Shut up, Lyuu.” (Vergillus)
“Don’t worry about it, I know how you feel. These kids are cute enough as they are, but if Layla had a baby, that is, if I had a granddaughter, I’m sure I’d be just as happy as you.” (Eldogalia)
Then, the girl who was also the wife of the Demon Lord Yuki like my daughter, and the young girl who seemed to be her sister joined the conversation.
“Oh, Master. When we were taken in, you were pretty calm about it, so I guess you weren’t happy at the time, right?” (Layla)
“That’s right, Master! All I remember is being tied up doing my homework!” (Emu)
“Of course. You’re two cheeky kids with far too much time on your hands. I thought I’d taken in a couple of troublemakers. If I have time to look after kids, I’d rather spend it doing research.” (Eldogalia)
“Well, we are the Sheep Horn clan, after all.” (Layla)
“When you put it like that, I have to admit that I agree with you.” (Emu)
“Your race is really something.” (Vergillus)
“Emu-chan has inherited that temperament, hasn’t she…?” (Emu)
“It’s in our nature.” (Eldogalia)
“It’s a curse.” (Emu)
I didn’t really understand what was going on, but as the three of them with the same horns murmured to themselves, Yuki, who had left the room earlier, returned.
And there, at his feet, was a small white fluff ball.
The child of a Fenrir.
“Hey, I’ve brought Setsu!” (Yuki)
She seemed a little wary, perhaps because there were so many unfamiliar faces.
She was hiding behind Yuki’s leg, observing us.
“Setsu, these people are good. They’re all family. Come on, say hi.” (Yuki)
Evidently, she trusted Yuki completely, and she seemed to have relaxed her guard just based on his words, so she stopped hiding and came forward.
