“Hic... Hic...” Myu stood next to the destroyed dock, crying. The area was filled with onlookers and soldiers, but none of them said a word.

The girl who’d been kidnapped had fallen from the sky, and a young boy had caught her in midair with superhuman abilities. Not only that, there was a dragon flying overhead. But what surprised everyone the most was that the boy was scolding Myu. That, and the fact that Myu called him her father.

“Hic... I’m sorry, Daddy...”

“Do you promise not to do anything that dangerous again?”

“I promise...”

“Then it’s fine. Now, give me a hug.”

“Daddy!”

Hajime kneeled down and Myu launched herself into his chest. The whole exchange had looked exactly like a father scolding his daughter. In many ways, Hajime really had become Myu’s father.

Everyone watched with dumbfounded amazement. They would never have expected a dagon girl to start calling a human boy her father, especially since she’d been kidnapped. They were all thinking the same thing.

What the hell is going on?

Hajime lifted Myu into his arms and gently patted her back. As if that was some unsaid signal, the onlookers all started talking at once.

Hajime ignored the commotion and started walking back when he felt someone hug him from behind. He turned around and saw Kaori resting her head on his shoulder. She was trembling.

“Thank goodness... I’m so glad you’re okay...” Now it was Kaori’s turn to start crying. Though she’d acted strong, she’d been worried sick. She’d believed Hajime was still alive, of course, but that hadn’t stopped her from worrying. Especially since he’d disappeared shortly after she’d finally reunited with him. She’d been through a lot.

“Sorry I made you worry. But as you can see, we’re all fine. So... please don’t cry. If a certain someone found out I made you cry... Well, she’d probably kill me.”

“Waaah... Hic... Th-Then, let me stay here like this for a while longer...”

Hajime looked away awkwardly, but he used his free hand to gently pat Kaori on the head. Her tears didn’t stop though, and she buried her face into Hajime’s shoulder. She hugged him with all her might.

“Hey, you. What on earth is going on? I demand an explan— Bwah!?”

“Hm? Oh, my apologies.”

The captain had dragged himself out of the water and stalked up to Hajime, dripping wet. Before he could start yelling at Hajime he was knocked back into the water by Tio. She’d turned back into human form upon landing and had accidentally bumped into the captain in her haste to get to Hajime.

Tio didn’t seem sorry at all, and she grabbed Hajime’s head and pulled him into her bosom.

“Whoa!? Hey, Tio!”

“I believed in you. I believed... you would return... Still, you made me wait quite some time, Master.”

Hajime extricated himself from Tio’s massive melons and looked up at her face. Tears dripped from her eyes. She hugged Hajime tight, as if he would vanish if she let go. He’d put Tio through a lot, so he let her do as she wished for a little while.
