My Daughters The S-Rank Adventurers Had Severe Father-Con - 10 I came to the royal capital.txt

I decided to move to King’s Landing to meet the girls’ needs.

They were overjoyed when I wrote to them about it.

When I left the village, I got on a carriage and headed to the capital.

It takes about half a day by carriage from the village to the capital.

Leaving the village early in the morning, you arrive in the grounds of the capital around noon.

The streets were crowded with people and houses with gabled roofs lined up on either side. It was much livelier than the village.

–It’s been a long time since I’ve been back. It’s been 18 years since I’ve been back.

Eighteen years ago, after failing to kill an ancient dragon and being treated like a criminal, we fled back to the village.

Time has gone by so fast.

I got off the back of the wagon and paid my fee. That’s when I paid.

A crowd of armed knights surrounded me.

They carried swords and spears and wore armor on their strong bodies.

–What?　What have I done?

I didn’t do anything to be surrounded by knights.

Is it because you didn’t show your ID card to enter King’s Landing: ……?　No, everyone should be allowed to enter King’s Landing.

Are the knights coming to seize it because of my lingering bad reputation?　–My mind was running through many speculations.

I could see the knights were about to move as one.

–Are you going to fight?　In the middle of the city!　I can’t get caught. I need to see my daughters.

“‘Lord Kaiser!　We’ve been waiting for you!

…… Huh?

I was about to go into battle position, but I fell behind. The knights surrounding us bowed their heads in unison.

Let’s see.

What the hell is going on?

We all went up to meet Knight Commander Elsa’s father, who is arriving today.

“Welcome to King’s Landing!

All the knights were shouting at once.

Passersby were looking at me to see what was going on. It’s just plain embarrassing.

…… And yet…

So these knights were Erza’s men. That’s good. It’s not like they’re here to get me or anything.

“Mister Kaiser. I’ve heard you speak of him before. I’ve heard you’ve taught the wizard master Erza all the tricks of the trade.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, I know.

“Oh!

There was a shout of joy from the knights.

They say that Lord Commander Elsa has never been put to the sword by Lord Kaiser. Could the rumor be true?

‘What?　Well, yeah.

“Oh!

Cheers rose again from among the knights .

”How could the youngest ever S-ranked adventurer, Knight Commander Elsa, not be able to do anything with her hands and feet: …… Lord Kaiser’s sword skills are tremendous… ……!

You’re more of a swordsman than a swordsman.

When we bowed down to greet Lord Kaiser earlier, you stayed alert and ready to fight. It’s true.

It seems that they’re singing my praises.

There was a look of respect and envy in the eyes of the knights. It was dazzling. Like the boys in my village when they begged me for lessons.

–It was then.

“Father!

Through the midst of the knights, Elsa emerged.

Silky silver hair.

Her dignified face was much more beautiful than it had been four years ago.

She is dressed in light silver armor that matches Elsa’s own hair color. At her waist was a magnificent, ornate sword.

Elsa. …… you’ve grown up.

When I said that, Elsa’s eyes watered.

“You worked so hard. You worked so hard to make your dream come true.

Yes. ……

Elsa nodded with an all-consuming thought.

She came closer to me.

Then she leaned in and surrendered herself to me.

“I’ve been wanting to see you for a long, long time. ……!

Ha, ha. So do I. But from today on, you can see Elsa, Anna and Meryl. Elsa, Anna and Meryl.

I’m really happy for you: ……!

Elsa didn’t hesitate to lay her head against my chest. It was as if all the emotions she’d been holding in for so long were flowing out of her at this moment of reunion.

I gently patted her head.

Elsa closed her eyes as if they were comfortable. At this moment, she had the expression of a girl who wasn’t an S-ranked adventurer or a Knight Commander.

The people of the Order were watching the scene with a smile.

”Speaking of which, where are Anna and Meryl?”

‘Anna seems to be busy with her guild work: ……. Meryl was supposed to come, but she’s probably still in bed.

‘You’re a guy who can’t help it. ……. Is Meryl still in the magic academy’s dormitory?

”Yes. Meryl is enrolled in the Academy as a special student. If you live in the dorms, food and shelter are provided free of charge.

Yeah. You’re telling me he’s never been in a better place.

You can’t help but smile.

”To be honest, when he got the news that your father was going to live in King’s Landing, he decided to leave the dormitory because he wanted to live with you.

You think I’m going to do all the cooking and laundry for you if I’m around. It’s practically like living in a dorm.

Meryl really is the same as ever.

Elsa said dismissively.

“Father. What are you going to do after this?

We need to find a place to live first. I could live in an inn on my own, but with Meryl living there too, that won’t be possible forever.

So, I said.

“Well, for now, I think I’ll just live at the inn, work and save up, and then I’ll rent a house.

Then leave it to me. I’ve got a better idea.
