Lyuu’s family and Layla’s family (2)
It appears that Lyuu’s parents were contacted safely.
However, I thought that since they would have many arrangements to make, and they lived in a faraway place, it would take a while for them to visit us.
“Hello, father-in-law and mother-in-law.” (Yuki)
“Stop it, it makes my back itch when you call me father-in-law.” (Lyuu’s Father)“Oh, I don’t mind being called mother-in-law. We’re family now.” (Lyuu’s Mother)
Lyuu’s father had a subtle expression on his face, while her mother was smiling.
Lyuu’s parents had arrived here just a week after we delivered the good news. They were super quick.
They must have prepared as soon as they heard from us, and got on the airship the very next day. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to come here in such a short time.
Nell asked, “Oh, in that case, can I call you my mother-in-law?”
Lyuu’s mother replied with a smile to Nell, who had come to pick them up.
“Yes, of course. It makes me happy to think that I have a new daughter. Right, dear?” (Lyuu’s Mother)“…Please don’t ask that question because I won’t be able to answer.” (Lyuu’s Father)
I smiled wryly at him, who was begging me with a glance to help him out.
“Well, it’s not really appropriate to stand around chatting here, and Lyuu and the others are also waiting for us, so why don’t we head home? Also, I’m sorry to say, but we actually have another set of guests coming today.” (Yuki)
“Hmm? I see. That makes sense. Who are they?” (Lyuu’s Father)
“Layla – my demon wife’s family. From the Sheep Horn clan.” (Yuki)
That’s right, as soon as Illuna and the others finish school today, Layla’s Master Eldogalia and Layla’s younger sister Emu were also scheduled to visit us.
Illuna wanted to bring Emu to our house, so we decided to invite Miss Eldogalia as well.
I thought Lyuu’s parents would come a little later, so I invited Miss Eldogalia and Emu today, but it just so happened that they ended up arriving at the same time…
Well, from one angle, they could be considered distant relatives to each other now… you know? Wait, I wonder how they would look at this situation?
…I didn’t really understand myself how such relations were viewed, but it wouldn’t hurt to get them to know each other. Right?
“Oh, people from the Sheep Horn clan. All right, I’d love to meet them.” (Lyuu’s Mother)
“They’re a very friendly old lady and a cute little girl, so I think you’ll get along with them right away! Oh, but the little girl can be a little shy around strangers, so you’ll just have to be patient with her.” (Yuki)
As we talked about this, we headed towards the teleportation door that existed near the remote town of Alfiero and returned home.

“Oh, my goodness…! This child is my granddaughter…!” (Lyuu’s Father)
Lyuu’s father picked up Riou.
“Daa, aww.” (Riou)
“Haha… Riou, is that right? Yes, you definitely have the blood of a War Wolf. And you also have my daughter’s face.” (Lyuu’s Father)
“Aww, Aaah?” (Riou)
Lyuu’s father soothed Riou with a doting expression on his face.
“You’ve got an expression on your face that I’ve never witnessed before, Father.” (Lyuu)
“Hmmm, but I remember this look on his face when you were born, you know?” (Lyuu’s Mother)
“Really? Is that so? My strict father…” (Lyuu)
“Hey, don’t say unnecessary things.” (Lyuu’s Father)
“Oh, I’m sorry. But you should really take a look at your face in the mirror.” (Lyuu’s Mother)
“…I can’t help it because my granddaughter is so cute.” (Lyuu’s Father)
“Yes, I suppose you’re right.” (Lyuu’s Mother)
“I guess it can’t be helped.” (Lyuu)
Lyuu giggled, and her mother smiled as her father looked away.
It was a conversation between a family who get along well.
