It was on the day war broke out and the Western Garrison requested for assistance.
Jack had taken leave for the purpose of returning to Kirst City and to return home.
He stood outside the familiar-looking small, wooden house. Looking at the warm light emanating from the house, he thought of his daughter and wife and the corner of his lips curled up into a blissful smile.
Opening the door, he walked in. "Alice, daddy is back. You guys..."
At the next moment, when he turned in and looked toward the main hall, his expression froze.
"Kaunitz..."
Kaunitz, wearing a red attire, was smiling as he sat there on a chair. In his arms, cute Alice was deep in sleep, looking like a sleeping kitty.
Jack's wife was kneeling down at the side, trembling with terror reflected on her face. When she saw that Jack had returned, tears came pouring down from her eyes.
Looking at Jack's frozen state, Kaunitz smiled. Patting Alice on the head, he said, "Jack, long time no see."
