Side Story – Long Live Life #3

I heard that the old Spartan warriors were raised in state facilities.

Mothers gather their children in one place and co-parent them.

He said that if you do that, you will naturally raise your children with affection, both your own and your own.

Children also think of each other as brothers and sisters.

The children of polygamists felt the same way.

Psyche, Milione, and Lucy raised and nursed the children born to other women as if they were their own.

It was complete co-parenting and would be good for the children’s emotions – I thought so, but Lucy recalled this incident and came up with a hypothesis.

“Didn’t they grow up like this because they swapped breasts when they were young?”

It was a strange story.

But in this world, a lot of strange things happened, so it wasn’t really that surprising.

“Then what should I do? My daughter Neo is being harassed by Psyche’s daughter Hedone! What should I do with this?”

It was Milione who growled indignantly.

I am the old Milione “I must have a daughter who looks like Psyche! Psyche, you should have a daughter who looks like me! Hahaha! I remembered the time when we talked with ”.

In a way, it was like that really happened.

“This Nymphtendo is the most fun game machine in the world… ! This Hedone is going to catch the legendary Nymph Pokémon, Horned Owl… !”

Psyche’s daughter Hedone did not like reading books, but liked playing the game console she received as a gift for her 5th birthday.

The problem was that Milione’s daughter, Neo, and Lucy’s daughter, Mini, liked to imitate Hedone.

“Luhuh, this mini also wants to play games… !”

“Me and Neo also want to play a game console… ! But they can’t do it because Hedone is taking over… .”

Parenting is hard.

As I watched my daughters fighting for control of the game console, I thought of my brothers and sisters fighting for control of the computer at our old daycare center.

Will these children someday remember the days of fighting over a game console? I think it would be a shame if children’s childhoods were filled with such deficiencies.

“Guys, let’s go for a walk.”

I called Neo and Mini, excluding Hedone, who was obsessed with the game console.

Then Neo was greatly surprised.

“It is surprising that my father, who only takes a nap at home every day, goes for a walk… !”

“Let’s go quickly… !”

As the kids said, I often took naps at home.

It was because life was easy.

“Originally, male lions guarding their huge pride spend most of their time napping and conserving their strength.”

Ssuk seu-.

I held the children’s hands.

The children’s hands were small and felt so fragile that I wondered if there was anything more delicate than these.

Of course, they weren’t weak.

Because they were kids who could tear a steel plate like paper at the age of 5.

If you were just looking at physical strength, you would be stronger than me.

“Let’s go for a walk… !”

“Luhhh, that mini wants to watch the dog squirrels… !”

The kids loved to run around and play no matter what.

Seeing me like that, Hedone, who had been playing games all day with the game console in her hand, quietly put down the game console and ran towards me, grabbing me by the waist of my pants.

“Dad, don’t leave this Hedone behind… !”

With that feeling, I went for a walk around Agarpe’s estate with my three children.

The nature of Agarpe Estate is so beautiful that it was great for a walk.

It’s summer now.

It was quite hot, but the children loved running around and playing as if they didn’t care.

“Dad wants you to see this… ! This Neo caught a large scarab… ! This scarab is definitely the honey ant from “The Village of Back-Alley Nymphs”… !”

━Zuji… !

It was a scarab that sparkled silver.

There were many indigenous creatures on this continent, but I had not yet figured out which animals had what habits to live by.

“Good job.”

Ssuk seu-.

I stroked Neo’s head.

Milione’s daughter Neo likes to be praised, and when she pats her head like this, she feels so happy that she wants to visit “Scarab more… I got motivated by saying !”.

Anyway, the personality that likes to be praised resembles Milione.

Soon Lucy’s daughter, Minnie, shouted.

“Luhhh, that mini found a flower… ! I’m sure it would feel good to lie down in this flower field… !”

Passyuk-.

Minnie jumped into the flower field that had grown up to my knees.

The five-year-old was quickly buried in the flowers and Minnie was almost crazy.

“Hiiii… ! The flowers are so nice… ! It’s healing… !”

Minnie was the most unpredictable of my daughters. I was always in a bad mood to the point where I wondered if something was wrong, but my cheerfulness had a certain resemblance to Lucy.

Sze-.

At that time, Hedone frowned.

“Mothers said that clothes should not be soiled if they were just washed… ! Sisters must dress cleanly… !”

Hedone was the leader of the sisters.

He enjoyed pointing out various things to children and seemed to believe that he should do everything best himself.

Does she resemble Psyche?

Because Psyche also likes to say the right things.

Buuung-.

At that time, a scary-looking wasp flew towards Hedone.

A five-year-old child and a wasp.

Hedone looked embarrassed, but spoke calmly.

“Beam from the eyes… !”

Jiiiing-.

A strong beam of light emanating from Hedone’s eyes crashed into the wasp.

Puzzle-!

The wasp fell to the floor and wriggled as if struck by lightning.

Neo shouted when he saw that.

“Ahh… ! It is said that Hedone used ‘power’ arbitrarily again… ! Now that things are like this, Neo will not stay still and fly in the sky… !”

Ssss-.

Neo floated into the sky.

It looked like a balloon filled with helium gas, and it was clear that even the gravity of the earth could not restrain the small child’s body.

Shuuung-.

Neo flying around near me.

Mini, who saw this, got up from the flower field and shouted.

“Now that things have come to this, I also want this mini to fly in the sky… !”

sss-.

Mini floating high in the sky.

Hedone, who soon saw this, said:

“You guys… ! What I’m saying is don’t fly around arbitrarily… ! If you fly around carelessly and fall, your clothes will get dirty, so mothers don’t like it… !”

Susss-.

Hedone also launched herself into the sky and flew around chasing her sisters.

A game of hide-and-seek in the air unfolds suddenly.

Did fighter pilots in World War I chase each other with this feeling?

“Beam from the eyes… !”

Jijijijijik-.

Hedone emits a beam from its eyes.

Neo shouted at Hedone.

“Cold breath… !”

Fuuu-.

Ice that was colder than the chill from the air conditioner spewed out from Neo’s mouth.

Jijijijik-.

Fuuuu-.

The laser emitted from the eyes and the cold breath meet to create a large wave of magical power.

Mini, who was watching this situation, also shouted, her eyes flashing.

“Beam from the eyes… !”

Jijijik-.

The clash of magic, aura, and divine power generated by the three sisters began to distort the surrounding air.

Kwasik, Kwasizik-.

There were literally cracks in the space, and if things continued like this, the entire flower garden might be blown away. If that happened, it was clear that the wives who tended the flower gardens near the Agarpe estate would be sad.

“Hiiii… ! Crazy kids are trying to destroy the Earth again… !”

“Run away… ! Run away from those scary girls… !”

The people around them who were watching this scene were so confused that they were busy running away, because they had fought and fought like this before and destroyed the fort.

Now that things are like this, there is only one way to calm the kids down.

“I’ll let the person who comes first decide on the ice cream flavor. The person who comes last has to eat tasteless red bean flavored ice cream.”

Sze-.

I extended my thumb.

Then the children who were fighting with each other seemed startled and flew towards me.

“Mini comes first… ! This mini is number 1 today… ! This mini wants to eat peach-flavored ice cream… !”

“I, Hedone, like chocolate flavored ice cream the best… !”

Mini and Hedone each grabbed my thumb first, and Neo, Milione’s daughter, was the furthest away and ended up in last place.

“Hehehe… ! I don’t like red bean-flavored ice cream… !”

but-.

The world of competition is cruel.

Because I was far from a father who raised his daughters without any care, I only fulfilled my promises to the children without any hesitation.

Just then, someone clapped.

“Hyde, you still treat your nephews well. They’re tomboys that even adults can’t move.”

This guy was an alter.

It seemed that Alter had gone for a walk nearby with his wife, Hecate.

Hecate was holding the hand of Kitty, a girl who looked just like her, but Kitty seemed to be too shy and hid behind her mother’s buttocks.

“Hyde, your children seem to get stronger every time I see them, right?”

Alter patted the children’s heads and admired them.

As Alter said, my children rode the “Trinity Force,” a triune power that combines divine power, auror, and mana, and have been flying in the sky since they were 2 years old and emitting beams from their eyes since they were 3 years old.

Its power was so strong that it was enough to occupy a fortress stationed by 500 armed knights on its own, but-.

Since the war was over, there was no need to show such forceful performances.

It just flies around in the sky like an unidentified object.

“I heard there will be a festival this evening. See you later, Hyde.”

Boom boom-.

Alter waved his hand at me.

I went back to the mansion, opened the refrigerator, took out some ice cream and gave it to the kids, but Neo’s face was very tearful.

“Hehehe… ! I don’t like red bean-flavored ice cream… !”

“But you lost the bet. Promises must be kept.”

Sniff-.

Neo starts to shed tears.

Hedone, who was watching this, frowned.

Then he offered his chocolate-flavored ice cream to Neo.

“ It means to eat it… ! Since this Hedone is an adult, red bean-flavored ice cream is also good… !”

I knew very well that Hedone hated red bean-flavored ice cream.

In that sense, Hedone was lying.

This does not resemble Psyche.

Because Psyche has never lied to us since Hedone was born.

Does it resemble me?

“Hedone, thank you… !”

Whisper-.

Neo hugged Hedone as if thanking her for giving him ice cream.

Minnie, who was watching that, also said, “We three sisters are one… . It’s literally Trinity Force… !” and hugged his sisters.

The sight of the three children hugging each other was enough to make adults emotional.

“Look at those kids! How can you be so cute as an angel!”

“If those kids fly through the sky and shoot laser beams from their eyes, they could destroy the kingdom three times in a week, but let’s stop talking about that for now!”

Everyone likes it.

Of course, Milione frowned.

“You guys! You dirty your clothes again! Why do you go crazy like this and make my clothes dirty only when it’s my turn to do the laundry? You guys come here! I will spank your ass one at a time!”

“Hehehe… ! Let’s run away… !”

The children ran away by flying through the air.

Looking at that scene, Milione could only look at the sky like a dog chasing a chicken.

“… What on earth did I give birth to? A person flies in the sky, spewing frozen breath from his mouth and rays of light from his eyes… ! I’m not good at things like that… !”

It was Milione who jumped up and down in the air as if trying to fly in the sky.

I said that to Milione.

“Children must move in a better direction than their parents. It wouldn’t be surprising if those kids had a lot of things better than us. It has to be like that.”

“No, no matter what, there is nothing surprising about rays shooting out of the eyes.”
