My Daughter Grew Up to “Rank S” Adventurer - Chapter 61.4
“Don’t say that, it makes me sad,” Edgar exhaled through the smoke.” But you’ll be ready when you get married. How did it feel when you suddenly had a daughter, Bel-san?”
“Well, it was tough. I’ve taken care of neighbors’ babies before, but when it’s my own, well. I had to do my regular work, too.”
“And it’s a girl. I guess there are many things a man can’t understand.”
“Yeah. I got a lot of advice and help from my friend’s wife. Thanks to them, she grew up fine.”
“That’s why she missed you so much.”
Edgar laughed, and Belgrief smiled and stroked his beard.
“Well, we were one parent and one child. But it’s hard for a male parent to raise a girl. Her hair was short when she was little, and she ran around like a boy, and I don’t know if I ever bought her a single piece of clean clothing… I was a lousy father, but I’m relieved that she grew up to be such a good girl.”
“No, if Bel-san’s not a good father, then I guess most fathers in the world aren’t…”
“She’s tough, and she’s strong, Angie-san… You don’t know how much you’ve helped us…”
“Haha… That’s her hard work. But you know, I’m worried that she won’t be able to take care of herself… She still wants to sleep in the same bed.”
“Well, she’s very spoiled. She’s a bit of a klutz when it comes to Bel-san. I mean, Bel-san may only see Angie the way she is when she’s around Bel-san, but she’s doing fine in other places.”
“That’s right. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to live alone in Orphen at the age of twelve.”
“I think so, too. When we dove into the dungeon together, I was completely impressed with how strong and reliable she was.”
“I see… I guess you’re right. It’s natural that there are things about her that I don’t know.”
It’s true that Angeline is acting her age properly when I’m not looking. That’s why everyone adores her and relies on her.
When I think about it, I wonder if it’s okay to pamper at least when we meet. Belgrief laughed at himself for being so naive.
” It’s okay to work hard as an adventurer, but I think she should be a little more like a girl. Get dressed up, fall in love… Is it selfish of my father to think this way?”
“No, I don’t think so… I think Angie would be pretty cute if she dressed up…”
“Oh, by the way, she’s started wearing her hair in braids. She didn’t do it when she came back before, but I heard that she started to do it after Char did it for her.”
“Haha, yeah, I guess you’re right. I guess things have gotten a little fancy…” Edgar frowned as he took up his drinking container.” Ah, no more. Sis, yellow wine… No, muddy sake, please. And… The hot pot includes dragon liver, right? I’ll take it. For five people.”
“Hot pot?”
“Yeah, you put meat and vegetables in a spicy soup and eat it. It’s excellent if you add dragon liver. The interesting thing is the shape of the pot. There is a divider in the middle, and there are two kinds of soup. They’re both good.”
“Oh… I wonder if they sell that pot somewhere?”
“Hahaha, Bel-san must try everything for himself. No problem, I’ll go shopping with you next time I’m off. I’m sure they have it.”
Edgar laughed and extinguished his cigarette.
Leonel spun around and rolled a pipe, Qasim laughed in response, and Byaku ate a small bowl of tree buds.
This is fun, Belgrief thought.
Drinking with the farmers at Tornella while discussing business is one thing, but this kind of lively atmosphere is not so bad. It reminded him of his days as an adventurer. It was a pleasant feeling to be standing shoulder to shoulder with men of the same generation.
