29 Chapter29: Meeting With Her Family

[ Again, we want to thank you for saving our daughter. ]

After Alice and I took a bath, Hector ojii-san took us to his son's house.

Their house is just as big and spacious as Hector ojii-san's but this one feels more occupied, maybe because unlike Hector ojii-san's who lives only with his wife, this one is occupied with more people. It turns out that Carla has many more siblings and she is the oldest one.

In front of us is Hector ojii-san and Carla's parents. Carla's other siblings are just staring at us from another room. There is even one boy who is only looking at Alice with a red face.

[ I'm Carla's father, my name is Jerald and this here is my wife Clare. We already met earlier outside the Village. We actually got worried when father told us an adventurer without magic went to save our daughter, so we immediately gathered some people to try and stop you. But we never thought that you already defeated the Golems and even rescued my daughter before we could even stop you. ] Carla's father, Jerald-san said.

[ well, I just thought that the sooner we rescue your daughter the better the chances she still can be saved alive. ]

Like my father has said to me " you don't hesitate to help when someone needs it ". That's why I immediately went to save her.

[ that is so... you know... I feel really indebted and jealous of you. I didn't have the power to rescue my daughter even though I know that she is in trouble. I just waited, waiting and praying for someone to rescue her, without doing anything myself. But my prayers might've been answered when you came. You know... other adventurers will surely not immediately go and rescue her as soon as you did... if you waited and you went only tomorrow... it will be too late to rescue her then... ] Jerald-san said as he turned his head down.

[ so we're really lucky that you were the adventurer the guild sent for this request... that's why I really want to thank you from the very bottom of my heart. ]

[ no no, you already thanked me enough... ]

really... I received enough thanks to rival the thanks I got from my previous world with my talk earlier with Hector ojii-san.

[ anyway, how is she? ] I changed the topic because I'm sure if we continued, I will only get an infinite number of thanks from them.

[ she's fine now, she just needs a few days to rest. But I think she might still need a day or two before she can finally wake up. ]

[ is that so? that's really relieving. She was hardly breathing when I carried her so I got really scared. ]

[ ...thank you for getting worried for her... ]

[ well, I think it's normal for everyone to get worried when they are carrying someone who is barely breathing just behind their backs. ]

[ but still, thank you. We don't have anything to repay you... but we promise that we will help you when you need our help. ]

Just how many times would I get thanked by this family? and they are also even forcing themselves to reward me.

[ yes. I think providing us a place to sleep is enough and you also cooked us food so you can call us even. ]

The food they served us is really delicious, it can even compete with Marinda-san's dishes.

[ ... ]

I don't know why but they suddenly became silent when I told them that.

[ are you really okay with only that...? ] Clare-san, Carla-san's mother asked while staring blankly at me.

[ hmm? yesh...? ] I answered while I still have food in my mouth.

[ I mean... you saved our daughter... ]

[ no no, I don't need anything else. In fact, this food is so tasty that this already worth the time we traveled here. ] I said as I lay my back at the chair.

[ are you really...? ] Clare-san said with a look of disbelief.

[ hmm...? ]

I don't know why she had that kind of reaction...

[ n-no... nothing... ] Clare-san said while waving her hand side by side.

[ your name is Haruto-kun right? ] Jerald-san who was just silent suddenly asked.

[ yes... ] I replied.

[ Haruto-kun... do you want to marry one of our daughters? ]

...

[ wha-what...!? ]

[ I think that you would be a good husband. I feel like if you marry one of our daughters her life would be really good. If you want you can take my youngest one. ]

It feels like they throwing their daughters at me like stones they just picked from the ground.

[ no no! I don't need one! ]

[ yes, I already asked Haruto-kun earlier but he said that he already has someone. ] Hector ojii-san suddenly said from beside Jerald-san.

Alice again turned red and began shaking on her sit.

[ is that so...? then you can still take one as your second wife. ] Jerald-san added while looking at Alice.

[ no... I already said I don't need any! ]

this is exactly what happened earlier with Hector ojii-san. It just keeps happening. I guess like father, like son.

[ is that so...? that's too bad... ] Clare-san whispered quietly.

[ yes... I don't need... ]

[ well, you can always change your mind. ]

[ I don't think so... ]

I'm not that desperate so I don't think I will ever change my mind.

[ hmm... anyways... can I... sleep now...? I'm really tired... ]

[ ah yes! sorry, we got too carried away. My father will take you there. Thank you again Haruto-kun. We're indebted to you. ]

[ no no, I'm the one I should thank you for providing us a delicious meal... ]

[ haha, yes. come back again if you ever change your mind okay? ]

then I don't think I'll never be able to come back.

[ yes... ]
