57. New Year Festival (4)

“Wow!”

Shuria let out an exclamation.

A shooting star had fallen from the sky.

“Father, did you just see that?”

Shuria spoke worriedly, thinking Theodor might have missed the shooting star that fell in an instant.

But Theodor was still holding both of Shuria’s cheeks.

Theodor, who let out a small laugh at her cute reaction, removed his hands and lifted Shuria up as she was.

“Keep focusing.”

As soon as Theodor finished speaking, a bright light appeared in the sky.

One shooting star wasn’t the end.

Starting with one star falling from the sky, countless shooting stars began falling from the heavens.

A meteor shower so beautiful and elegant that words couldn’t fully express it began.

It was a wondrous and beautiful sight she was seeing for the first time in her life.

Not only Shuria but even Elisia had her gaze captivated.

Theodor smiled with satisfaction at the sight of the two people looking up at the meteor shower.

Naturally, that meteor shower was something Theodor had created.

It was Meteor, one of the strongest magic spells, usually used to destroy a nation, but it could be applied in this way as well.

Suddenly, he recalled his first meeting with Shuria.

At first, unable to contain his anger, the Meteor he had summoned intending to destroy everything was forcibly turned into a meteor shower.

Now he was creating a meteor shower for Shuria of his own accord.

Looking at the fantastic spectacle of the meteor shower filling the sky, Theodor felt a strange emotion.

It was the first time he had used such magic because he wanted to.

The meteor shower continued for 5 minutes.

Any longer and Shuria would surely get bored.

The stars that had filled the sky gradually disappeared, and darkness descended upon the forest again.

And when Theodor looked at Shuria’s expression again.

She had the most foolish face he had ever seen.

Looking at Shuria giggling foolishly, Theodor couldn’t hold back his laughter.

But Shuria was still lost in the moment of the meteor shower, only opening her mouth with a trembling voice.

“This is the first time in my life I’ve seen something like this.”

You’re 5 years old….

It was absurd for a child who hadn’t lived very long to say such things.

“Did you make a wish?”

“Uh.”

It seemed she had forgotten.

Looking at Shuria who was reading his expression, Theodor sighed inwardly.

She didn’t even know he had summoned it, yet why was she reading his expression?

“Uh, over there.”

Theodor’s awkward voice could be heard.

When Shuria turned around, she could see a shooting star falling from that position.

Shuria quickly put her hands together and finished praying.

“Did you make a wish?”

“Yeah!”

Still, seeing her enjoying herself was a relief.

Theodor didn’t know.

That the meteor shower he had dropped for his daughter would become a historic event and even be written in history books.

But he was someone who would gladly write history several times over for Shuria’s sake.

Theodor smiled as he placed Shuria on his shoulders.

“Well done.”

Shuria’s cheeks were gradually getting cold.

It would be troublesome if she caught another cold.

Theodor planned to return like this before Shuria could protest further.

Until Shuria grabbed his hair.

Shuria, who had grabbed Theodor’s black hair with both hands, shouted.

“Let’s go!”

It was absurd.

When something is too absurd, only laughter comes out.

The strangest thing was himself moving in the direction Shuria wanted while being treated like this.

Not seeming cold at all, Shuria shouted excitedly.

“Faster, go faster!”

It seemed the higher eye level than usual was fun.

Elisia, who was staggering, came into Theodor’s view as he increased his speed.

Seeing her staggering as if she would fall at any moment, Theodor took off his outer coat and put it over her shoulders.

Without giving Elisia time to be flustered by his action, Theodor brought his hand to her.

“Stay still.”

He lifted Elisia with one arm and wrapped her arms around his neck.

And then he began to run.

At the faster sound, Shuria screamed with joy, but in contrast, Elisia closed her eyes tightly and put strength into the arm holding Theodor.

On one side his neck was being choked, and on the other side his hair was being grabbed.

It was fortunate that neither had malicious intent.

Based on actions alone, it was no different from fighting.

Thus, the three people arrived at the carriage at a much shortened time compared to earlier.

Theodor set Shuria down on the ground and checked her condition.

She looked happy.

Then he looked down at Elisia.

Her face wasn’t visible.

Elisia was trembling with her face buried in his neck.

That sight strangely made him feel guilty.

“Are you alright?”

At Theodor’s question, Elisia nodded her head.

“I’m fine…”

She didn’t look fine at all.

Theodor entered the carriage while still holding Elisia and carefully set her down.

Then he lifted Shuria and got into the carriage to check on Elisia’s condition.

Fortunately, she looked better than before.

Theodor was about to say something but closed his mouth.

He had never apologized to anyone other than Shuria in his entire life.

But he couldn’t just let it pass when she was trembling like that in front of him.

Hesitating, Theodor opened his mouth.

“I’m sorry.”

Theodor originally didn’t use informal speech with Elisia.

It was because her status was officially higher than his.

But he couldn’t bring himself to say he was truly sorry.

At Theodor’s attitude, Elisia let out a small laugh.

For what he had said to her, he himself looked awkward, which she found cute.

“It’s okay.”

Having said that, Elisia reached out her hand to Theodor.

And she began to fix his hair that Shuria had messed up.

Theodor, who had been quietly watching, lowered his head to match Elisia’s height.

And Shuria, who was watching this scene.

“Dad, what’s with your messy hair looking like that.”

You’re the one who did it.

Theodor ignored Shuria’s words and looked at Elisia.

He saw her hair, always neatly arranged.

It was amazing that despite running at that speed, there wasn’t even a hint of dishevelment.

Then Theodor’s eyes caught sight of Elisia’s bangs.

Two strands were sticking up toward the sky.

The moment Theodor reached out to touch Elisia’s bangs.

She quickly moved away from him at high speed.

Was she someone who could move that fast?

Elisia spoke with a completely guarded expression, covering her bangs with both hands.

“You can’t touch my bangs.”

?

What was so special about bangs that she would guard them so fiercely?

Theodor nodded.

“Left side, it’s sticking up.”

“Ah.”

Only then did Elisia lower her guard and start fiddling with her bangs.

Without a mirror, she naturally couldn’t find the right position, and eventually Elisia looked at Theodor as if asking for help.

After telling him not to touch them.

In the end, Theodor helped arrange Elisia’s bangs.

And Shuria, watching the two of them.

“Dad, but they say you shouldn’t touch a woman’s bangs.”

At her shameless words, Theodor reached out to Shuria and lifted her bangs.

Then Shuria coldly swatted away Theodor’s hand and glared at him.

“Ah, I’d rather you lift my skirt!”

What is this.

“Shuria.”

“Yeah.”

Her shameless answer left him speechless.

So Theodor simply said.

“When I hear things like that, I don’t know what to say.”

“You lack a sense of humor.”

It was an answer that only made him sigh.

Theodor openly sighed and arranged Shuria’s bangs again while saying.

“You shouldn’t say things like that to other people.”

“Hmm.”

“You should say ‘yes’ right now too.”

No answer came from Shuria.

Having forcibly extracted a positive response from Shuria, Theodor sighed.

“But I’m sleepy.”

Saying this, Shuria stretched her arms toward Theodor.

It was a request to be held.

Theodor, familiar with this, picked her up and covered her with his outer coat.

His outer coat was about the size of a blanket for Shuria.

“Dad, pat pat.”

Shuria closed her eyes and placed Theodor’s hand on herself while saying this, and Theodor patted her back accordingly.

Not long after, Shuria fell asleep, and confirming she was asleep, Elisia spoke.

“Is the meteor shower magic?”

How unusual for her to use formal speech.

It seemed she really liked the meteor shower.

Theodor nodded.

“That’s right.”

“It was truly a wondrous moment. Thank you.”

“Yeah.”

At his calm response, Elisia smiled.

“It would be nice if we could see the aurora next time too.”

“If you want, I’ll make it come.”

If he used magic, they could see it right away without waiting.

He didn’t know if such romantic magic existed in the Demon Realm where attack magic was predominant, but if necessary, there were ways to show illusions.

“Not that kind of thing, we need to see the real thing. That way the Grand Duke can feel that emotion too.”

It was still awkward formal speech.

Theodor chuckled at Elisia’s way of speaking and reached out his hand.

Her bangs were sticking up again.

Elisia didn’t avoid Theodor’s hand.

“Yes, I’ll come again next time.”
