Phew...relax Rudeus....you've already done this 5 other times, right? Why are you still so nervous?....
Now we are in front of Lili's house according to Roxy
Lili is married and has a daughter
I glanced at Roxy out of the corner of my eye and saw her shivering from slightly from the cold
Damn...my girl is uncomfortable, I have to do something.
Without thinking twice, I knocked on the door.
(Knock, knock)
-Good morning, Lili!- I called.
-We are your parents! We came to see you!- I added knocking on the door again.
Suddenly I heard footsteps approaching the door and it opened revealing a middle-aged man.
Brown hair, a little overweight and some gray hairs
The man looked at me strangely and then looked behind me towards Roxy and was surprised.
-Mother-in-law? What a surprise! What are you doing here?-The man asked Roxy
-Hello Debris, we came to see Lara- Roxy replied
-I see, please come in, although Lili is shopping right now- the guy Debris said as we entered the house
-Okay, it doesn't matter, we can wait for her- Roxy said sitting on the couch
I could see that the guy Debris was looking at me sideways until he dared to speak.
-Mother-in-law...who is the person you came with?- Debris asked
-That's why we're here Debris... As you know, Peragius revived my husband recently- Roxy said in a serious tone
Debris's eyes widened at this and he looked at me in disbelief.
-You mean...you mean...you are my father-in-law?!- Debris said looking at me completely in shock
-Hehe, well...nice to see you again Debris- I said with embarrassment as I extended my hand to shake his.
Debris approached me hesitantly but when he returned my handshake he visibly relaxed.
-So the rumors are true huh?, The great Peragius has revived you father-in-law- Debris said with a smile
-Hehe, let's say I'm too important to die- I said with a smile
This earned me a laugh from Debris and an incredulous look from Roxy.
-So what are you doing now father-in-law, I heard that Laplace will only revive at the end of this year- Debris said while passing cups of tea to me and Roxy
-Currently we are just visiting the kingdoms of the world to give them the news of my resurrection and then we will move on to recruiting allies - I said while taking a sip of tea
-hmm I see, that makes sense- Debris said as she adopted a thoughtful stance
-And how is Melisa? the last I heard from her was that she had moved to Basherant- Roxy asked
Melisa is Lili's daughter as I recall
-Oh Melisa? According to her, she opened a restaurant and it's going well- Debris replied
-I see...how good for her- Roxy replied with a smile
And so we spent about half an hour chatting, Debris gave us her perspective on Lara's visit which put Roxy in a bad mood but a few caresses from me were enough to calm her down.
..
Suddenly the sound of the front door opening was heard
-Honey, I'm here, do you know anything about my pare...-Lili stopped mid-sentence when she saw Roxy and when she saw me she was in shock to the point of throwing her purchases away.
I could hear the sound of something glass breaking...
-d-dad?!....ah....I see...Lara came to see me yesterday but still...seeing it with my own eyes- Lili murmured with tears in her eyes as she approached me
-Ummm...dear...your parents arrived a little over 40 minutes ago, there's no need to panic, okay?- Debris said trying to calm Lili down
Roxy pulled my shirt and made signs with her eyes so I got up from the couch waiting for Lili's reaction.
-Daughter...don't be scared okay? It's me- I said, slowly approaching her.
-I know...It's just that...seeing you again...isn't something that happens every day you know? - Lili said with a small smile as she wiped away her tears
I also let out a small smile as I stroked his head.
She reaches just above my chest so I have to look down at her
-I'm back, daughter- I said with a smile
-uuuh... welcome back dad- Lili said and then hugged me tightly
This time my daughter here was not crying, she was just hugging me like when you meet a loved one after a long period of time apart.
Although on second thought, that's exactly what's happening right now...
I need to think better about my comparisons.
The four of us sat on the couch, Debris and Lili in front of me and Roxy.
The truth is that Lili took it better than I thought but I guess I should thank Lara for that, right?
Although their methods are strange I can't deny their results hehe
-Dad, I heard from Lara that the Kingdom of the Dragon King refused to help them...what will they do about it...- Lili asked somewhat worried
-Ah yes... that's it... I still suspect that this guy is an apostle of Hitogami... or also because he hates your brother Siegh- I said at the end with a smile
-Heh, let's hope it's the last one so that when he wants to get smart we'll beat him up, oh no dad?- Lili said with a smile
-Yes, haha, yes, that's what we'll do, but still... you have to stay alert, okay? Surely at this point Hitogami knows that I've revived and he'll probably have spies everywhere, so you have to be careful Did you understand? - I said to both of them seriously.
Debris and Lara looked at me in surprise but both nodded at my statement.
The conversation became lively after so many serious and emotional moments.
Lili told us that she had just successfully patented one of my ideas, "the vacuum cleaner"
The thing was selling like hot bread according to Lili and she thanked me too, although I flatly refused to accept money, after all I have enough money to live with my family doing nothing If I wanted for the rest of my life
She also said that she improved "my prototype retractor hook" and she added some bat decorations...
This is according to my suggestion...for a personal design
Really?, me from the future?....
So the rest of our visit Lili spent showing me new magical equipment that she had designed.
What caught my attention the most were boots that make you lighter and therefore faster, a backpack similar to a jet pack that works with wind magic and some kind of wings that looked like a hang glider
Of all these devices, the hang glider caught my attention the most, and I asked her to lend it to me to analyze it. She immediately accepted and let me take it.
The thing is surprisingly light and easy to store since in its compacted mode it becomes a kind of backpack.
And so, as the evening came, our visit with my daughter Lili came to an end.
-What are you going to do now dad?- Lili asked me, now we were in front of the house ready to leave
-In 5 days I will travel to Millis to meet with Clifth, although you were the last to find out he was alive haha..sorry about that- I said with a smile
Lili pouted adorable just like Roxy but quickly composed herself
-Okay, on my day off I'll visit you, okay?- she said.
-That sounds perfect to me- I replied.
And so we said goodbye and I returned home with Roxy and just as I returned I lay down to sleep in bed.
