--Paul's Perspective--
When I woke up, I had realized I was in the middle of a meadow in a grassland.
It was a grassland.
There was no other words to describe it other than 'grassland'.
It was nothing more than a completely ordinary piece of grassland with nothing particular about it, but strangely, it had about a sense of familiarity.
I spent a few minutes trying to figure out where this was.
I remembered.
This was the southern part of Asura Kingdom.
It's near the town I once stayed in.
During that time, I was learning the Water God Style swordsmanship in the town.
In other words, it was close to Lilia's home.
I thought this was a dream. It was only natural to think so.
Even so, it was quite the nostalgic place.
How many years did I live here? One year, or was it two?
I only remembered that it was not a very long time.
My memories mostly only included those of the dojo. I remembered the senior disciple.
He was a despicable guy.
A person who only knew how to run off his mouth.
He was a bastard who fiercely drummed the threat into my head that it was not my right to go beyond him once he saw my talent.
I hate those type of senior-junior and superior-inferior relationships.
I had run away from home because I had to hold my head down to my father as well.
Still, my father was better compared to him. How do I explain this, it was because he possessed power.
However, that senior of mine did not possess any power at all.
He was merely a small fry that had developed immense narcissism by running off his mouth.
When I had trained to reach the intermediate level, that guy was still hanging around at the end of the beginner level.
That was a guy of low caliber.
Even within the main dojo, that was their best of the senior Water God Style swordsmen.
They just kept coming up different excuses with how their lack of competence was caused by this or that.
I had thought that someday I will show the true strength of my power to those guys.
Although, at the very end, I wasn't able to show that guy my own strength at all.
There were many things I wasn't able to put up with. Like the crime I had committed against Lilia, so I ran away.
I had more or less aimed at this from the beginning, the fact that I had wanted to trample on what was considered precious to them.
Those guys started to look for me in a frenzy ever since I fled.
I left the country in order to ridicule them.
When I think back on it, I realized I was a kid back then.
How that senior disciple acted did not matter, the fact was that I did a bad thing to Lilia.
"......nn"
The wind blew.
Dust entered my eyes and I frowned.
Then, the side of the hem of my clothing was pulled.
"Dad...where, is this...?"
"Un?"
Looking closely, Norn was clinging tightly to my chest.
She was looking at me with an anxious face.
So finally, I let go of my house coat, and noticed I was standing on the prairie.
The soles of my feet were feeling the texture of the ground clearly.
The warmth of Norn.
This was not a dream.
"...What's with this?"
I do not understand why I was here.
If I was alone then I would have thought it was a dream to the end.
However, there was Norn clinging to my chest.
Norn born three years ago.
Tiny Norn.
My cute daughter.
I rarely come into contact with my daughters.
Since I was hoping to become a strict father, I usually avoid physical contact with them.
So why would I be embracing Norn...?
...Oh right.
I remember.
Just until awhile ago, I was talking to Zenith at home.
It was just a talk about nothing special.
"As our daughters grow bigger, they'll start to resist contact with their fathers, so it's alright for you to stop holding back, just for now."
"No, no, I am aiming to become a dignified father. Unlike Rudeus, Norn seems to be more mundane, so I'll have to be more aware of how I act as a father now."
"So it's not like you dislike her after all then."
"...Yeah, then I'll hug her after all... "
It was such a conversation.
Nearby, Lilia was teaching Aisha something.
Lilia was going to let Aisha go through specialized education.
I opposed her saying that we should let them grow more freely but I was strongly overpowered by Lilia.
Aisha was growing quickly.
Anything taught was memorized immediately, just as how she also learned how to walk quite fast.
So.
It was at that time that, abruptly, I was wrapped in a bright light.
Oh, I remembered.
The memory continued.
......That something seems to have happened, I instantaneously realized it.
"......Dad?"
Norn raised her anxious voice as she looks at my face.
"It's all right."
I gently stroked Norn's head.
Then I looked over my surroundings.
There were no signs of Lilia or Zenith.
Whether they were nearby, or if I was the only one blown away, Norn was together with me.
Why I wonder?
...I remember.
In the labyrinths, there was one time where I was caught in some atrocious trap.
It seems to have been some sort of teleportation magic that we had triggered.
It was lucky of me that I had been transported to somewhere close at that time.
Elinalize at that time had grabbed onto the hem of my clothes and was fuming.
It was the sort of trap that spells instant death if you were unlucky.
The monkey scout that had been caught up in the trap was never found... Such a story doesn't matter.
In summary, only the person that was in contact with you during that instant would get teleported with you.
This was why Norn was with me.
However, why?
Why has such a thing happened?
It's way too abrupt.
Whose handiwork was this?
There were many enemies around me.
It wouldn't be strange for whoever it was to do it.
However, this was teleportation.
Teleportation is another story.
There was no casting used for the teleportation magic.
Therefore, items imbued with magic or magic products were used.
Teleportation-imbued magic items were considered to be illegal no matter where in the world.
The magic for teleportation was designated as a forbidden technique and has become long lost.
In order to take revenge on me, a single person, why was there a need to go through such lengths, through such a dangerous path?
Also, how come the place I was transported to was such a barren field?
No way.
A disciple of the dojo was one of the culprits involved?
A thought suddenly surfaced in my mind.
In order to get to Lilia, they had me moved.
This place I was at was supposed to be a hint.
By the time I return home, Lilia and Zenith might have already been sullied by a vulgar man.
Damn it, it seems to be an idea they would come up with.
"Hey, father."
"Norn, it's alright. We'll return home immediately."
As I kept murmuring that to myself, we headed towards the town.
Fortunately, in case where something were to happen, Asura gold coins were concealed inside the sheathe of the sword.
The sword was to always be worn at all times, which was a habit formed from my time as an adventurer.
It was not to be removed even when sleeping.
The only time it could be allowed to be removed was when feeling up a woman.
The adventurers' card was also placed within the sheathe.
It was for times like these.
I went to the Adventurers Guild in order to exchanged the money.
Eight large copper coins and nine pieces of silver.
The commission fee was raised before I knew it.
Although this amount was plenty enough.
A quick check around the Adventurers Guild request board was made, and since there was a request for an urgent delivery, I immediately accepted it.
The lady at the reception desk updated the magical power to the adventurer card along with the accepted request.
After realizing the rank written on the card was S, she showed a surprised face.
The reason as to why she was shocked was not because S rank adventurers were rare but rather the fact that I had accepted such a quest.
Usually, such delivery quests can be accepted regardless of rank because of the urgency but it's still commonly considered as an E rank request.
Usually, I would not bother hiding the reason behind it but explaining it was troublesome so I didn't.
I readily held out one silver coin.
How many years had it been since I prepared for traveling?
It's been a long time but I still remembered clearly what was needed.
The preparations were finished in no time.
I had also rented out a horse from the Adventurers Guild.
I'm glad that there was a request for urgent delivery.
Of the many benefits of the S rank, renting out a free horse on such a request was one of them.
Of course, that didn't necessarily mean that I was going to return it immediately once the request was finished.
This time, I headed out in a different direction from the delivery.
I feel bad for the client, but I'm also in an emergency.
These horses that have been bought were definitely good ones for sure.
My luck was good.
This just goes to show how much of an emergency it was.
There could possibly be a chance of having my adventurer's status revoked for taking advantage of its benefits, but so be it.
I had not intended to continue living on as an adventurer in the first place.
Norn was placed on top of the horse and I jumped onto its back.
Immediately, we set off from the town.
