764 – My Busy Husband Doesn’t Even Have Time to Be at Home – 1

After the number of playgrounds for spirits increased within the empire and new family members named Mane and Mine were added, time passed smoothly without any major incidents.

The only notable thing is that Schrödinger’s Erich, who had been in and out of the system every time he attempted to observe, has completely returned to the system.

“Wow…”

“Yes! We are doing well Mary!”

“oooh!”

Our youngest child, Mary, was finally able to crawl.

It is truly a touching thing. While all the other siblings could walk or crawl, only Mary, the green youngest child, had to lie down in bed.

Fortunately, Mary is a child who takes after her mother, Fine, and stays quiet in bed, but isn’t it sad that she lies alone while her siblings are running around here and there? She may feel as if she is an outcast.

“Mary! Awesome! So cool!”

“Mary! Come this way!”

However, rather than bullying her youngest child, our children love her very much. If Mary was lying in bed and blinking, she would rush to the bed, and she would throw the holy water that was playing with her on Mary’s bed.

Even now, when Mary crawls, the children are happy as if it were their own business. No, now that Mary can play with them, is she doing her job?

“Lady! Cheer up! You can come!”

“Just a little more! Just a little more!”

Even the holy beasts – especially the deer, Charity, and the foal, Kindness – made a fuss about Mary’s miraculous movements and poured out all kinds of support.

Those two were the ones who ran down the hallway with our children on their backs, or with a wrapping cloth attached to their tails. Perhaps that’s why they seem to be even more excited about Mary’s evolution of her. Because Mary must be able to control her body to some extent before she can give it a ride.

‘Is playing with children a stigma?’

I laughed as I saw the charity and kindness that made her her tail her wag at the speed of light. All saints have become accustomed to mansion life, but few have adapted as quickly and completely as those two.

Not only has he completely forgotten his days as an evil god, but he seems to have even forgotten that he is called a saint. He shows charity and kindness by using his children’s car. A loyal car that glares at the animal with jealous eyes when it rides on the back of an animal other than its own, but is happy again when children approach.

Thanks to this, I couldn’t help but laugh. A pet that truly cheers at the joy of being able to carry a child. Where can I see these things?

“Mary.”

“Uh?”

“Come on. Come to mom.”

“Woo!”

But despite the fervent cries and cooings of her two private pets, Mary crawled in a straight line toward her mother, Fine.

In fact, it is a natural result. For a child, the mother has no choice but to come before anyone else in the world. Even I, her father, have no choice but to be pushed aside by Fine.

“Ugh, maybe we should postpone picking up the young lady until later…”

“There’s nothing I can do if it’s my wife.”

Charity and kindness muttered bitterly, as even beings who were gods could not deny this natural result.

Lift your heads up, cars. There is no shame in losing to your own mother.

“I’m better. I’m going to get out!”

“I’ll do it!”

“Great! Let’s get on board!”

“How far shall we run today?”

And as if I wasn’t the only one who felt sorry for the private cars, the tails of the two holy beasts, which had been drooping when Friedrich and Alina requested a ride, began to spin furiously again.

It seems like I overcame my sadness so quickly that it’s too simple, but whatever. If they like it, that’s enough.

Now that Mary has started crawling, it’s time for her to begin her honeymoon again.

About half a year since I visited Zereno Kingdom with Mar. Now I have the opportunity to go abroad with Rize.

‘Mary won’t be looking for her father like last time.’

If a child can move her her body her her her on her her own her her her, any place that her her physical strength allows her becomes her child’s playground. I won’t see my dad for a few days? You’ll be busy wandering around the mansion without even thinking about such trivial things.

It’s sad that he seems to have become unimportant to Mary, but it’s better for him to disappear from her memory her for a while rather than for her to cry and say she misses her her dad her her her . For this dad, if my youngest child is happy, that’s enough…

“I’m thinking of going to the Balcross Kingdom. “What do you think?”

Anyway, now that my only worry was resolved, I discussed the honeymoon location with Rize.

Balcross Kingdom. A country located in the northeastern part of the Zereno Kingdom, it is said to be one of the continent’s leading cultural powers. A place where maritime culture and continental culture intersect, was deeply influenced by the empire, the Holy Empire, and Yuven, and where the native culture also flourished splendidly.

Even artists born in Balcross became famous throughout the continent’s history, and novels, poems, and plays that came out of Balcross often set trends on the continent. It is a country that deserves to be called a cultural powerhouse.

“I’m happy to go anywhere with my brother.”

Hehe, seeing Rize smiled made me smile as well.

Aside from going back and forth between “Brother” And “Honey,” And eventually settling on the title “Brother,” I am not greedy for the opportunity to go on a honeymoon after two years. It was so Rize-like that I couldn’t help but smile.

“It’s not good to go anywhere. It’s a trip for Rize, so we have to go where she wants.”

But what is Rize-like is Rize-like, and what doesn’t work doesn’t work. A trip just for Rize is ‘what my brother wants.’ I have no intention of skipping over it for this easy reason.

Honestly, I cannot guarantee when I will be able to enjoy overseas travel once this period passes. Maybe I or Regena can go on a twilight trip only when we reach our 70s or 80s.

“Is that so?”

Rize frowned as if she was in deep thought at my firm line drawing.

“…Still, I think Balcross would be good.”

It wasn’t a very long struggle, though.

“Actually, when I was young, I often read books in my room. Among them, there were many novels written in Balcross, so I really wanted to go there whenever I got the chance.”

“Let’s go right now.”

She immediately nodded to the perfect cause that could not be refuted.

Rize was not in good health when she was young. If the culture of Balcross filled Rize’s childhood, then of course she should visit Balcross and feel the taste of the mainland. If Balcross has closed the border, she must force her way through.

I received a call from my son-in-law.

He was a son-in-law who always contacted me to check on me, but he also contacted me at regular intervals, saying that I might be annoying. The last contact was two days ago, so it’s been five days since I made the next contact?

– Sorry for contacting you suddenly.

“I’m sorry. I’m just happy to be able to see my son-in-law’s face.”

Still, my son-in-law is like my son. If such a son-in-law suddenly contacts you, it can be said to be a pleasant surprise party.

– Actually, I have something to ask my father-in-law.

“To me?”

However, I blinked blankly because the call was made for an unexpected reason.

My son-in-law became a high-ranking nobleman thanks to his possession of territory from the Kingdom of Leon, but I am still just a baron within the empire. Since I am living peacefully in the Barony of Atini, I do not have any advanced information that my son-in-law might not know.

Rather, I probably have a lot to ask my son-in-law. Because my son-in-law is an Imperial Baek and a Minister.

– Well, I heard that there was a novel that Rize often read when she was young…

“Ah.”

I was convinced by what followed. That kind of information is something the son-in-law has no choice but to know.

“That’s right. There was a book that Rize couldn’t put down. It was the story of Lord Felon, a novel about the heroism of a female knight.”

– Sir Felon’s story?

“Yes. It was about practicing chivalry in order to restore a fallen family, and I remember it being a good story even for adults.”

My son-in-law smiled bitterly at my words.

– It’s the story of a female knight.

It was a short mutter, but I felt like I knew what my son-in-law was thinking, so I smiled bitterly.

Rize as a child was unable to move freely because her body was so ill. Rize felt guilty that her older sister died because of her. For Rize, a female knight who wields a sword for her family was bound to be an attractive protagonist.

Fortunately, now Rize has regained her health and can leave it as a memory of the past. How heartbreaking it would have been if Rize had been unwell until now.

-Are there any other novels?

“There is a romance novel called Wind and Flowers, but I don’t know if Rize, who found a great husband, remembers the romance novels she read when she was young.”

– That’s too much praise.

My son-in-law laughed awkwardly at the surprise compliment.

The atmosphere, which had calmed down a bit, became soft again.

***

The Minister of Inspector General, who had requested a meeting with new officials, again made an unusual request.

“You want to contact the author of Balcross?”

“Yes, Minister. I’m sorry for asking you a personal favor, but the only person I can ask this for is you, so I’m saying this at the risk of being rude.”

I touched my teacup for a moment after hearing the words of the Minister of Inspection.

Certainly, as the Minister of Inspector General said, I am the only one among the 17 ministers who can contact writers from other countries. If it is simply contact with a ‘foreign country’, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should do it, but if the target is a ‘writer’ from another country, the Ministry of Culture should step in.

‘It’s not a difficult task.’

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism’s main task is historical research, but it is also a department that oversees various literature and arts. Since I am also a bureaucrat who worked in the field of literature rather than history, I have various connections with writers and artists from other countries. The level of connections in the culturally powerful Kingdom of Balcross goes without saying.

Therefore, the minister’s request is not a particularly difficult request. The authors of Sir Felon’s Tale and The Wind and Flowers are still active.

“Is this rude? It just so happens that the writers the Minister is looking for are my close friends. This is an opportunity to introduce a good person to a close friend, so I am grateful.”

After quick consideration, I gladly accepted the minister’s request.

I am willing to do as much as I can if I can owe the minister something like this. Even in the northern research being carried out with the Ministry of Education, a lot can be done with the cooperation of the minister.

“Thank you, Minister. “I will not forget this favor.”

“Haha, nothing much to say. I hope you have a good time with my friend.”

I smiled at the minister who gently lowered his head.

From what the minister said, it seems like he will be entering the Balcross Kingdom soon, but honestly, that is none of my business. If you suffer, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will suffer.

It is enough for me to just owe the minister.
