Hajime and Kaori returned to Oscar’s house, which was hidden in the deepest section of the labyrinth.

Oscar had carved an alcove out of the slate-gray rock for his house and the surrounding garden, and the moment Hajime and Kaori stepped into that alcove, Myu poked her head out of one of the house’s third-floor windows and smiled at him.

“Daddy, Kaori-onee-chan! Welcome back!” Myu exclaimed as she ran down the stairs, out of the house, and jumped into Hajime’s arms.

“I’m back, Myu.”

“We’re back, Myu-chan.”

Hajime and Kaori had spent the whole day gathering ore, so Myu had felt lonely. Though neither Hajime nor Kaori had gotten any rest since leaving the Demon Lord’s castle, Myu’s dopey smile was enough to blow their exhaustion away.

As they walked into the house, the sound of slippers slapping against the floor echoed across the walls. A moment later, Remia walked into the foyer. She was wearing an apron over her dress and had a ladle in one arm.

“Welcome home, Dear. And you as well, Kaori-san. I’m glad to see you’re both safe.”

“Th-Thanks,” Hajime stammered.

“Excuse me? ‘Dear’? You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you, Remia-san?”

“Would you like dinner, a bath, or your wife and daughter?”

“Okay, you’re definitely doing this on purpose! Stop using those cliched lines! Also, don’t just casually include your daughter in that!”

“Oh my, Kaori-san. I was simply asking if he wanted to spend some quality family time with us. Ufufu, what in the world were you imagining?”

“I-I wasn’t imagining anything weird! Really, I mean it!”

“In that case, Dear, would you prefer having Kaori-san instead?”

“What!? M-Me!? Quit teasing me, Remia-san!” Kaori yelped that and glared at Remia, who just chuckled. It seemed her true goal had been to fluster Kaori, not Hajime. Older women like Yue and Remia loved bullying Kaori.

Hajime gave Kaori a sympathetic pat on the shoulder and said, “Look, let’s just leave it at that, Remia. We don’t have much time, so I’m afraid I’ll have to head straight to the workshop. Please bring my food there.”

“I see... You haven’t slept at all, but I guess I can’t really ask you to rest. If you don’t push yourself here, we won’t survive what’s coming.”

She’d tried joking around with Hajime and Kaori in an attempt to get them to relax, but unfortunately, it hadn’t worked. Though she was worried about their wellbeing, Remia knew there wasn’t any time to rest.

“Very well, I shall bring you your food once it’s ready. Oh, the princess left a message for you as well. She said things are progressing smoothly.”

Remia had been handling all correspondence while Hajime was out gathering materials. Shizuku had already succeeded in convincing Gahard to join the alliance. And with the queen’s help, Liliana had convinced the capital’s residents of the danger they faced, then started evacuating them to the empire while the empire’s troops teleported in.

Construction of the fortress was ahead of schedule as well.

I guess focusing on getting Nomura and the other builders’ artifacts done first was the right call.

Hajime had,
