-I'm back home- was what Lara said while hugging my wives
The truth is I am extremely surprised... he didn't even announce that he was coming or anything like that so my surprise is genuine.
-uuuuuh darling! We've missed you so much! - Sylphie said between tears
It's true, from what I was told Lara left home years before my future version died and had only communicated with my girls through the communication tablet, it must be overwhelming that one of your children that you hadn't seen in years comes back like that
By this time Nanahoshi had already woken up, she was walking down the stairs and her hair was completely disheveled, and she had a general messy appearance.
As if it were muscle memory, Nanahoshi approached me and kissed me on the cheek without even opening her eyes.
Lara was surprised at this but then just gave me a mocking laugh.

It was time for breakfast so the 5 of us started eating.
-So... you were the one who took the gray rat robe- Roxy said angrily
Lara flinched at this but nodded in defeat.
-Gosh...and I thought it had been stolen... I cried for that robe, you know?- Sylphie added, equally angry.
-Yes..I know, I just took it in the heat of the moment and I also fixed it!- Lara said trying to excuse herself but that didn't satisfy my girls.
-Okay, okay, even though you've been using it for years, I'm formally giving you the robe, Lara- I said with a smile.
This made neither Sylphie nor Roxy investigate the subject further.

After lunch we met in the living room so Lara could bring us up to date on her trip.
It turned out that after the death of my version of the future Lara traveled the world increasing her strength, getting to know the world and forming allies as the duty of the chosen one.
Her duty as the chosen one according to legend is to lead the army that will face Laplace and defeat him.
Something that is extremely difficult for me but I can understand.
Lara traveled around the world for 5 years but stopped in the great forest because of the rainy season
-So I'm the second to last to find out about your resurrection?- Lara said with an annoyed tone
-Eh..we are sorry dear, Lucy tried to contact you but we have to assume that due to the heavy rains the information did not arrive- Sylphie said
-hmmm yes I already imagined it... the day before coming here a newspaper from a month ago arrived at the great forest- Lara said now calmer
The truth is that Lara looks like Roxy in every way, she is like her twin sister, the only "notable differences" so to speak is that Lara is slightly taller than Roxy and she only wears a braid instead of Roxy's signature two braids
Besides that, something that caught my attention was the huge white dog that was now sleeping next to the fireplace...but I decided not to say anything for the moment since my girls It doesn't seem to matter to them
Even so...
-Dad... is that staff also an Aqua Hertia?- Lara asked pointing at my staff that was leaning near the coat rack
-Yes, yes it is- I answered
Lara quickly stood up and took it, she put both sticks on the table to notice some differences
But the staffs are exactly the same...with the slight difference that Lara's wood looks more discolored and worn, as well as having slight noticeable scratches, and her mana crystal looks a little bit of dull blue
Lara noticed this immediately, she looked me in the eyes for a few moments which made me break out in a cold sweat but then she gave me another mocking smile and didn't say anything....It seems that he has discovered something...I hope not...
..
..
-Dad are you dating Miss Nanahoshi? - Lara said suddenly making my girls visibly tense up
Thank goodness Lara waited for Nanahoshi to go take a shower because we're leaving for Orsted Corp soon...
-jeeeeh, I guess so hehe- Lara said with her mocking smile
-Well, dear, you see...-Sylphie tried to speak but she was just as surprised as I was.
-Heh, no need, if mom Sylphie and my mother accept it I have no reason to object- Lara said without importance
Me and my girls sighed with relief at this.
-And are you going to get married or what?- Lara added
-Yes...we plan to do it in a little less than two weeks- I answered
-Wow, how fast...and some of my brothers know it?- Lara replied
-No...just you dear, but we plan to tell all your siblings in due time- Sylphie said before I could respond
-hmm..so it's a secret?- Lata asked excitedly
What's going on? She looks like a little girl acting like that...
-Yes, it's a secret Lara, and I hope you keep it well- Roxy said
-Hah! Very well, count on me, my lips are a tomb! - Lara said enthusiastically
-Yes...and also...can we trust that you will keep another secret?- Sylphie said while caressing her belly
-hmm?, what do you meeeee.....what?!!!,Really?!!!- Lara said genuinely surprised
-Hehe, your dear, you will have a new little brother or sister soon fufu- Sylphie said blushing
-Lara was momentarily shocked at this and then looked at me with her characteristic mocking smile.
-Heh...you don't waste time, eh dad?- Lara said
This girl...
-hmm, don't be insolent, and when are you giving me a grandson? - I said looking directly at her, which made Sylphie and Roxy look at her too
-ugg...in the future..I'm not focused on that right now- Lara said in an overwhelmed tone
So we spent the morning talking with my daughter but... duty calls...
So now I have to go to the office for work...how stupid if not that...forget what I said..
