Harold could swear – it was definitely the happiest day of his life.

As a businessman, Harold was already a man who had seen big scenes. However, no matter how successful the investment is, it is not as strong as his current emotions. If his previous success in business was the result of his instinct and professional attitude as a businessman, this joy is a strong resonance with him as a human being – as a father.

Never before had he wanted to thank the goddess and fate so sincerely.

Because—

Although the purple-haired girl who pushed the door open and looked a little timid was almost the same as she remembered...... But even in another hundred years, he could not be mistaken—the violet that he was most familiar with, the most precious color of his life.

"Really...... It's really ......" The moment Ling pushed open the door and attracted the attention of everyone in the room - there was nothing else in the eyes of the Harolds. They stood up a little stupidly, their eyes foggy, but they had joy that could not be hidden. Their hands trembled as they tried to touch the angelic little man in front of them—the most beautiful thing they had thought they had lost a few years ago.

“…… Well. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to say it when it came to her mouth - Ling finally just made a sound that seemed to be an answer.

"Is it really you?" Harold only repeated this sentence as if he had fallen for it, and he walked up to Ling like a walking corpse, and looked Ling up and down with disbelief as if it were the most precious work of art in the world, "He ...... What did he just say...... It's all true? ”

"......" Ling nodded wordlessly. She calmly raised her head and looked at the man in front of her, her own father, and looked at each other.

What kind of eyes are they? Ling didn't understand.

However, it can also be felt.

That heartfelt joy and gratitude.

The kind of excitement that wants to shout out loud like a long drought and a rainy day.

I was a little surprised to believe that I was so lucky.

The relief to see that my daughter is now intact.

The confession that almost committed a sin because of his own incompetence.

I see...... Do people have such complex feelings?

In a trance, Ling sensed something touching her. Suddenly she woke up and found that it was Helliga who tapped her forehead gently.

"......" Looking at Helica's encouraging eyes, Ling nodded firmly. Then, she took a deep breath — somehow she had never felt so nervous in her life — and said in a somewhat dry voice, "It's me...... Father...... Mom. ”

"Hey...... Hearing Ling call others like this, I always feel a little mixed in my heart. "In an empty room not far away, there were a lot of people gathered - not to mention close friends like Estelle, Joshua and Levi, including the support department who had been invited to the scene - how could these young cops have played a big part in helping the kitten get home, and now this joyful and gratifying drama could not be without them? Ling also agreed to invite them.

There was plenty of room for people to stand in the empty room, but everyone was gathered around a small table in front of the table—two signal lights were flickering on the strange-looking box. There was a row of loudspeakers under the machine, and the voices of Helica, Ling, and Harold and his wife just now came to everyone's ears very clearly.

"You, don't say that again......" Joshua subtly cupped his forehead, but there was no reproach in his eyes, "Then again, is that old man Joguru such a powerful person?" Not to mention the fact that you can make such a beautiful puppet, you can also ...... the repair and enhancement of the "Patil Martil" and such a mid-range monitoring device."

"Anyway, I used to be the head of the technical department of the association." Lévi and Joshua entered the association in the same batch, but by the time Joshua had undergone the training of "executors" and joined the ranks of formal commissions, Lévy was already a top master, so he had a deeper understanding of the historical composition of the association, "If it weren't for the relationship with the doctor, I'm afraid he wouldn't have just left...... After all, even if he is a doctor, he only squeezes his master because of personality problems, and he does not question Master Yoguru's professional level. ”

"Stop talking about the past of these associations." Estelle interrupted the conversation unhappily, "Shut up and keep listening—"

“…… That's it. I...... It's been decided to go to Liber. Ling's voice was small, but her tone was firm. Although the reunion with her parents and her parents' attitude once again almost broke the ice in Ling's heart, the damage she had suffered for a long time made Ling still a little reserved at this moment. What's more, Estelle and Joshua had already accepted everything about her with incomparably full awareness, and even their biological parents were still good compared to that dazzling and warm light...... But if she had to make a choice, Ling would not hesitate to choose Estelle's side.

Before the meeting, Helriga told Ling not to change her mind on the spur of the moment - Estelle and Joshua's tolerance was based on knowing all of Ling's past, and it was a true understanding and respect, and the Hyvas were not ready to take it upon themselves and know all of this in any case. In this case, Helliga worries that Ling will be greeted by her own parents, and she will change her mind without controlling it for a while—and at that point, things will become a little difficult to do.

However, to Helica's surprise, in the face of the Hayvas's successive words of repentance and thanks, Ling surprisingly did not have any additional expressions and verbal movements. Instead, only after the couple returned to peace, they quietly said their decision.

On this point, Hyliga is not without a good reason to make it up. The Empire is about to enter the foreseeable turmoil, so the Doctor from the Empire decides to leave Ling away from all that in the Empire and go to Dr. Russell, his best friend, a classmate of Dr. Epstenn. Things have been negotiated, and Ling herself has agreed to this. Heliga was even prepared for the possibility that she would have to face the pressure of both Ling and her parents - but Ling didn't mean to be affected at all.

"......" The smiles of the Hayvas froze on the spot, as if they didn't know what to say. In this somewhat awkward atmosphere, Ling looked at Helliga blankly.

Suddenly Haliga felt that things had become more elusive than he had expected.
