“Sir. Sir. We’re in Beaden.”

“Mmm...” Shaken by the shoulder, I woke up in a daze. I took a look outside and saw that the sun had completely set, giving me a hint at how long I’d been out. “Aaah, we’ve arrived?”

Mm-hmm, I slept like a rock. Well, whatever.

I turned to the driver. “Sorry about that, and thank you.”

“Think nothing of it. You must’ve been tired. Take care.”

I stepped out of the carriage, and despite having been gone for less than a day, I felt awfully nostalgic. Just visiting the capital was a significant event for me, but I’d even had touching reunions one after the other with Allusia, Kewlny, and Selna.

That was definitely worth rejoicing, but being in an unfamiliar city and meeting people I hadn’t seen for so long was also a mentally exhausting experience.

“Now then, time to get home and... Hm?”

Beaden was out in the sticks. This late at night, houses that still had their lamps on were in the minority. All the shops were closed, so at most, you’d see light coming from public lodgings. However, after walking a while and reaching my place, I spotted a glow coming from the dojo.

“That’s rare. Do we have a guest?”

Seeing a light on in my house would be one thing, but seeing one in the dojo at this time was quite unusual. I doubted that my old man had stayed up this long swinging a sword in there. Curious about what was going on, I quickly approached the dojo.

“I’m back,” I announced, sliding open the door. “Is someone here?” This was my dojo now, so there was no need for modesty.

“Yo.” My dad gave a nod of greeting. “You’re finally back.”

Next to him were some people I hadn’t expected to see: a young man and a quiet-looking woman who was holding a small baby in her arms.

“Master!” cried the young man. “It’s been a long time!”

“Hello. Thank you for your hospitality,” said the woman.

“Well, if it isn’t Randrid,” I replied. “Long time no see.”

“Yes! I’m glad to see you’re the same as always, Master!”

Setting aside the unfamiliar woman for now, I greeted the young man, who returned my greeting with vigor. He had intelligent features and short blond hair. Though he wasn’t exactly brawny, he had a good balance of muscles made for swinging a sword. He—Randrid Patlocke—was a graduate of our dojo.

If I remembered right, he was now just shy of thirty. His character matched his friendly expression, and he was pretty good with a blade too. The majority of our dojo’s pupils ranged from children to young adults, so he’d served as one of my senior students.

Also, he was another graduate I’d gifted a farewell sword to. After tempering his skills at our dojo for six years, he’d gone to Baltrain, saying he would become an adventurer. As such, there was no reason for him to go out of his way to visit Beaden.

“And who is this next to you?” I asked.

“Allow me to introduce you.” Randrid turned to the woman and baby.
