Of course, Grace didn’t end up destroying the flower garden.

That was because the adults who had been hiding came out before that happened.

“Oh my, crying because someone else got hurt. I never dreamed I’d see such a sight.”

Trisha vigorously wiped Grace’s cheeks with a handkerchief.

Grace’s cheeks flushed slightly at the mention that everyone had been watching.

“B-but Iliya is so small and cute.”

Though Iliya was quite large compared to his peers, he still seemed small in Grace’s eyes, who was considerably big herself.

“And if Iliya gets hurt, Ordel would be sad…”

Grace fidgeted with her fingers while glancing at Ordel.

Though Ordel had never gotten angry, it seemed she was scared of just being disliked.

Even though she seemed to only dote on them lovingly, Ordel was someone who would strictly scold when they did something wrong.

“So that’s why you were startled? It’s okay, Gracie.”

Ordel patted Grace’s head as she watched her nervously.

“Here, look.”

Ordel pointed to Iliya’s injured knee.

Just as Grace was about to make a tearful face again, feeling ashamed.

“Huh?”

A golden light spread from Iliya’s knee and the small wound disappeared instantly.

“Wh-what?!”

Grace opened her mouth wide and looked back and forth between Iliya and Ordel.

“Th-this is Ordel’s ability…”

Grace was bewildered.

She knew Ordel had healing powers, but just now Ordel hadn’t used any power at all.

The golden light had definitely emanated from Iliya’s body.

‘Besides, the color was a bit different.’

If Ordel’s golden light felt bright and brilliant like sunlight, the light just now was a cute yellow like a chick’s fluffy feathers.

Grace, who had excellent senses as a Siery, couldn’t have been mistaken.

“Could it be that Iliya also has divine power?”

“As expected, you’re smart, our Gracie.”

At Ordel’s acknowledgment, Grace’s mouth fell wide open.

“My nephew is a genius!”

She knew well enough that no one awakened divine power at such a young age.

That made Iliya seem even more amazing to her.

“So you don’t need to feel too bad about Iliya getting hurt. Kids can fall while playing.”

Though he was her precious son, she had no intention of raising the child too delicately.

Children naturally couldn’t stay still, and getting hurt from running around and tumbling was commonplace.

Moreover, since Iliya had divine power, there was no worry about wounds festering.

And as they’d just seen, the child was gentle and took injuries in stride, so he wouldn’t suffer even if he grew up a bit roughly.

“That’s right. Breaking legs and arms while playing around is natural.”

“You need to show some restraint. At this rate, you won’t have any bones left.”

Trisha let out a lament with a face that looked ten years older.

The problem was that Grace would try to keep running around even when her broken leg hadn’t fully healed.

No matter how much they shouted that the bone would heal wrong, she wouldn’t even pretend to listen.

Eventually, the leg that hadn’t properly healed broke again, and Trisha, unable to bear it anymore, asked her son and daughter-in-law for help.

After being severely scolded by her brother and Ordel, Grace had no choice but to quietly recuperate until she was fully healed.

Trisha shuddered, saying just thinking about that time made her teeth chatter.

【The ‘Traveler Guiding Souls’ greets you warmly, saying it’s been a while.】

“Huh?”

Ordel looked up puzzledly at the System Message that appeared before her eyes.

Recently, the Eternal God had mainly been staying with Nashas, the High Priestess of the Annihilation God, due to her poor health.

So why was he sending a message now?

Ah, could it be.

Ordel quickly turned her head.

Not long after, Jin appeared in the distance of the garden.

“Jin!”

Ordel waved at her friend with a bright smile.

A smile appeared on Jin’s previously expressionless face.

“It’s been a while, Ordel.”

The two, seeing each other after several months, hugged and shared a brief reunion.

As usual, she ignored Rute and gave light greetings to the Duke and Duchess of Siery.

“Our nephew.”

And the moment she looked at Iliya, Jin’s cold face broke into a silly grin as if she’d never been stern.

Trisha and Mikhail, seeing Jin’s face like this for the first time, gaped in shock.

Whether they did or not, Jin knelt on the ground and spread her arms wide toward Iliya.

“Iliya, come here and give your aunt a hug.”

“Auntie!”

Iliya giggled and tried to approach Jin.

“No!”

Then Grace hurriedly blocked between the two.

Jin’s eyebrows twitched, and Iliya also looked at her with a surprised face.

“Iliya is my nephew! He was playing with me first! Don’t interfere!”

Grace glared at Jin with force in her eyes.

Grace had always had a tendency to view Jin as a rival.

This was because Ordel liked Jin so much, and Jin’s personality was also formidable.

“Won’t you move?”

As expected, when Jin frowned, Grace’s body trembled.

No matter how nasty Grace’s temper was, it couldn’t compare to Jin, who had lived three lives and experienced all sorts of things.

“I-I won’t move!”

But perhaps because she was in front of her newly acquired nephew, Grace was being stubborn.

Ordel and Rute, Trisha and Mikhail watched the confrontation between the two with great interest.

They were curious whether Grace could surpass Jin.

However, the match between the two went differently than expected.

“Move.”

A young voice with very clear pronunciation cut between Grace and Jin, unlike a child’s voice.

Everyone looked with surprised eyes, especially Grace who was most shocked, at Iliya.

Iliya, who always smiled brightly, was looking at Grace with an expressionless face.

“Move.”

When their eyes met, Iliya spoke again.

Grace, overwhelmed by the tremendous presence, hesitantly stepped back.

“Auntie!”

Only then did Iliya run to Jin with a bright smiling face and fall into her wide embrace.

“Wh-wh-why…”

Grace was devastated by Jin’s victorious smile.

She knew he would get serious when displeased, but to get serious for blocking his way to Jin!

It was incomparably scarier than when he got angry about not getting candy.

Deeply hurt, Grace looked sadly at Iliya rubbing his cheek against Jin’s shoulder.

“Our nephew, did you miss auntie a lot?”

Whether she did or not, Jin asked Iliya with a happy face.

“Yes! A lot, a lot.”

Iliya shouted loudly and hugged Jin’s neck with his small arms.

A happy smile naturally appeared.

“It can’t be helped, Grace. Iliya has met Jin more often.”

Ordel hurriedly comforted Grace, but there was nothing she could do about the tears welling up in Grace’s eyes.

“I’m also, I’m also an aunt though…”

“If you see him more often, Iliya will come to like you too, Grace.”

“More than Holy Maiden Jin?”

“…”

Even Ordel couldn’t give a definitive answer to that.

Jin had personally fed Iliya his bottle, played with him, and even put him to sleep, so it was natural that he felt closer to her than to Grace.

“But Grace, you’re the only one here who’s similar in age to Iliya, right? You can do things with Iliya that we can’t.”

“…That’s true.”

Fortunately, this seemed convincing as the tears that were about to fall went back in.

However, that was only temporary.

“Our nephew, aside from mommy and daddy and the wet nurse, you like auntie the best, right?”

“Yes!”

The moment Iliya answered Jin’s question vigorously, Grace’s tears finally burst forth.

“Jin…”

When Ordel sighed, Jin giggled.

Anyway, Lute wasn’t the only adult who didn’t act their age.
