to them and the girl adds that they're just kids trying to Survive gray tells them to calm down already making up his mind that he has to help them no matter what they start walking toward the house and the boy realizes they haven't introduced themselves yet gray casually mentions his name and jokes about how it's not obvious he's an adventurer the boy introduces himself as isuka and the girl is Foo gray nods but his mind is already racing the name isuka sticks out it's the name of the protagonist in this World gray starts thinking that

being reborn as a villain and getting involved with the main characters might lead to trouble normally he'd avoid them but since he doesn't know the story he decides to follow his conscience even if it leads to his death he'd rather Live Without Regrets after reaching a broken down and shattered house on the outskirts of the slums isuka goes inside to let everyone know about the situation F remains outside and starts thanking Great profusely he tells her to thank him after he is done with the treatment gray warns her not to trust everyone so readily since

N the sick one is Stella Chan Just One Look is enough for gray to understand the problem Stella is a vampire since she has red eyes and pale white skin with sharp fangs she is probably a half vampire according to his diagnosis which is an even greater issue as they are discriminated by both humans And pure-blooded vampires he tells them that she isn't sick just non- nourished the air in the room feels heavy gray figures that when vampires lack nutrients they crave blood but oddly she hasn't attacked any of the other kids he concludes she's

unaware of her own blood lust easy fix she just needs the right nutrients he stands up asking what they usually eat ishika mentions they sometimes eat Church food bread but only when they can sell flowers gray Apologizes and tells him to forget about it he starts thinking that church food is only once a week and probably the best meal these kids get he reassures the fine and tells him he'll provide food for a month the kids can't believe it Isa asks if he's sure while Theo says they can't accept all this gray Cuts in asking

if they want help or not he explains his magic won't cure Stella but there's another solution for Mal nutrition just eating regularly and Having a balanced diet they're incredibly grateful and gray decides to head to the market as gray walks he reflects on how abandoning the kids would definitely leave him with regrets with a Mis cheetus grin he thinks they're unlucky as they trusted him they'll end up as sacrifices for his own satisfaction he also notices something about their health that doesn't sit right so he decides to add fruits and bread to their diet for

the day suddenly A group appears a bald man in Black approaches gray asking if he's also keeping an eye on the kids in the cabin Gray's temper flares he grabs the man's wrist and slams his head into the ground the already weary Lads are now outright terrified of him he grows that he doesn't know what they were planning but it's not happening on his watch moments later The Intruders are sprawled out injured gray warns one that if they so much as touch the kids he'll turn them Into food slowly starting with their fingers and toes

the terrified boy stammers and gray figures he's made his point pressing the leader head into the dirt he demands to know how they found him the boy stutters saying he thought gray was after the same thing gray scoffs don't judge a book by its cover after another well-deserved punch to the lad's face gray leaves he starts thinking about how this world doesn't even have schools later he's back in Basto the city he calls home he notes the huge adventurers Guild building where quests are posted with rewards matching their difficulty it's an easy City for professional

adventurers like him to live in being on the route to the capital and other countries the large population also means plenty of Bandits like the ones earlier who consider themselves part of the underground Guild gray buys some bread thinking that since Hees doesn't have a team he'll keep all The rewards and can comfortably afford the kids meals when Greg returns he announces it's time to cook the kids are surprised he doesn't seem like the type who can cook isuka panics insisting he didn't mean it that way arimo offers to help light the fire while gray

catches Lutz eyeing an apple and Ruffles his hair telling him to wait Aral notes this and takes Nina and Lutz aside gray notes how surprisingly well behaved the kids are for slone dwellers he decides not to Dig too deep into their situation figuring they can handle simple recipes nah tugs at his clothes and gray looks down telling her to stay still and wipe her nose but then she calls him dad he freezes it's wrong he knows that but part of him wonders if denying it would make her sad before he can figure out how to

respond Arial calls Nina over gently scolding her for bothering him gray still doesn't know what to say soon they're all at the table and the woman Announces the food is ready GR uses how he ended up eating with them isuka compliments the food while Foo scolds him for talking with his mouth full the two younger kids are making a mess with their food and gray can't help but feel a strange sense of warmth amidst the chaos he wipes the younger kids faces and watches as Nina thanks Dada ARL picks up Stella to feed her reminding

her to eat slowly gray notices they're starting to regain some strength and Mentions Stella's energy is coming back Aral tells gray to leave the cleaning to her and he agrees Isa thanks gray for the food and Foo adds that it was really good gray brushes it off thinking time will sort things out he mentions he's heading home but nah doesn't want him to leave she hugs him and hands him a doll gray takes it wondering what he's supposed to do with it ARL apologizes to Gray and tries to explain to nah that gray has his

own house but nah insists Gray Chuckles and says it's fine kids are like that since it's bedtime he decides to stay until they fall asleep his mind drifts to his past life his sister saying goodbye his mom telling him to take care of himself and his dad mentioning he's in high school the last words he remembers are see you later the next morning gray carries a bunch of food thinking it should be fresh enough for now he figures he'll stick to simple meals for a while and upgrade to better Quality meat later when he arrives

he sets the food down and everyone is impressed they start looking at the recipes and menu ideas gray brought he tells them he won't be coming every day so they should eat well while they can ARL asks if he'd like to look around but the others are still sleeping gray starts feeling like a dad about to leave on a business trip he sees the three kids sleeping while ARL asks if he slept well she admits Nina's tantrum might Have bothered him a bit but it's no big deal Aro looks happy and ishika hesitantly asks if

they'll see gray again he nods he's got a plan it's time to start making some money later an old orc is running for his life muttering that he can't win and knows it he's desperate saying that man isn't human humans are just cattle to him but all his subordinates died to that human their heads flying off easily he keeps repeating that the guy isn't human until Gray appears with his evil grin the orc panics wondering why gray is pointing his sword at him gray yells that they've just started playing tag and the orc is it

gray casually mentions there's something he wants to buy so he'll need to collect the works head the scene shifts to to the adventurer's guild where gray is scanning the mission board an extermination mission for an elder orc catches his eye and he decides it's a good fit as he's pondering he Overhears the staff chatting about a guy with a dark sense of humor they mention he supposedly committed every crime Under the Sun assault blackmail theft you name it gray thinks if that were true his adventurer's license would have been revoked ages ago just then a

guy approaches teasing gray about taking on an extermination Mission Gray recognizes him as ganis someone he finds incredibly annoying ganis jokes about Gray's cold demeanor and brings up rumors of him Threatening kids in the slums gray brushes it off thinking ganis only shows up because he's still salty about gray rejecting his team invite ganis brags about reaching rank B faster than gray but gray fires back with a snarky comment about remembering your roots ganis points out a goblin extermination Mission but gray gets nervous goblins are way too low rank for him the band escalates with

ganis getting increasingly worked up while his Subordinates try to calm him down gray ignores the drama and heads over to Sasha the receptionist to register for the orc Mission Sasha sigh at the childish behavior but helps him review the details the mission involves an old orc spotted near a poor Village and the payout is lower than usual because the villagers can't afford more Sasha suggests forming a temporary team but gray declines knowing no one would want to team up with him anyway he prepares To head out think thinking he needs to finish this quickly before

leaving Sasha thanks gray and assures him no one at the guild believes the rumors about him gray shrugs it off pondering the Orcs Parts can be sold for a high price as a powerful aphrodisiac something Nobles are always after Sasha just shakes her head wondering what goes on in Gray's mind the scene cuts to the village where the chief is Overjoyed gray accepted the mission despite the low reward he Introduces Marina a village girl and suggests she accompany gray for the night as a form of compensation Marina terrified but feeling obligated nervously enters Gray's room

gray notices her fear and reassures her she doesn't need to stay he explains that while some adventurers might take advantage of the situation he's not one of them he tells her to rest easy and Promises to complete the mission so the village can return to normal Marina Relieved apologizes and wishes him good night before leaving as Arina walks away she finds herself thinking that gray might actually be a kind person she returns to the old man who immediately asks what happened she explains that gray told her he didn't need her anymore but reassured her that

he would still complete the mission hearing this the old man sigh in relief just glad she's safe the next morning Marina brings gray a small snack hoping He'll like it she knocks apologizing for the previous night as he opens the door gray brushes it off and thanks her before digging in as he eats he compliments the food but Marina downplays it once finished he gets ready to leave the villagers gather around reminding him to be careful he's the only one they can rely on Marina adds that they're all counting on him with a final farewell

Grace sets off back in the present an orc is running for his Life sheer Terror on his face he mutters frantically about the Need to Escape gray fearing both for his life and his dignity but before he can get far gray hurls a sword slicing off one of the orc's arms the orc lets out a blood curdling scream as Gray calmly tells him to say his final prayers mockingly calling him old orc he playfully debates which to take first his head or his more delicate parts once the fight is over gray collects everything he needs

making Use of a high class Magic Bag these bags are rare but he had the foresight to buy one back when he was still on a team thanks to it he doesn't have to carry certain Rome trophies in his hands not that he enjoys having them in his bag either but it is what it is when he returns to the Village the town's people are already gathered waiting for news gray announces that the orc is dead and that the forest is safe to use again the old man thanks him for his hard work but When

gray presents the orc's head as proof the villagers recoil in horror that was definitely more than they needed to see Marina asks if he'll stay the night since she was planning to cook for him but gray politely declines saying he needs to leave soon he apologizes and although she looks a little disappointed she says she understands the Villers thank him once again and wish him a safe journey later as gray rides in a carriage he reflects On how smoothly everything is going his long-term plan is finally coming together and he's close to making his dream

home a reality it's been a while since he started Living in bastock and while the end is comfortable it's time to settle down properly he smirks to himself noting that the old Orcs Family Jewels will probably end up helping some noble families with their lineage his quiet laughter unnerves the other passengers who in away from him the next Day gray is back at the in in bastock carefully stitching up the worn out doll for Nina he figures she'll be happy to have it fixed but the fabric is so old that it'll probably fall apart again

soon deciding to try something more permanent he heads to a shop to see if Alchemy can restore it the shopkeeper recognizes him immediately commenting on how gray just got back but is already preparing to leave again he jokes that it must be for a woman maybe some postm Mission romance before gray can respond the man suddenly calls for someone named Lena shouting that her father is ated again a voice from upstairs fires back as Lena the inke Keeper's daughter starts scolding her father for pestering guests with his stories the old man tries to defend himself

but Lena isn't having it she calls in an idiot much to his dismay and insists that men should stick together gray merely shrugs saying he was about to leave anyway Lena Assures him she'll handle her father and wishes him a great day gray takes a moment to appreciate the in clean rooms good food and generally polite staff if the place isn't more successful it's probably the old man's fault later gray arrives at the alcony workshop where Lux immediately assumes he's here about the doll with a smirk Lux teases that a ragged old toy doesn't really

suit someone like gray gray however is more interested in getting it properly Restored Lux confirms that Alchemy can fix it but there's a price before gray can ask how much Lux reveals he has a client who is specifically interested in Old orc Parts when gray casually presents the orc's head Lux recoils in horror exclaiming that he wasn't supposed to bring that back gray however knows exactly what Lux really wants the orc's crystal ball with a smirk gray admits to taking one of the Orcs Jewels but says he's willing to forgive Lux for His reaction after

all if things go well Lux is the type to slip him a free healing potion besides as long as the kid is Happy gray doesn't really care what he gains in return When Gray returns Nina rushes toward him calling out desperately for her dad ARL beside her quickly apologizes explaining that Nina cried a lot after he left gray kneels down and gently hugs her reassuring her that there's no need to cry because gray is here and look Stella Is too Stella smiling also calls him dad and playfully reminds him to comfort Nina properly seeing her

happy and full of energy again makes gray feel a quiet sense of relief he's glad she's doing well apologizing for making n a wait he pulls out the doll and hands it to her her eyes immediately light up with excitement she eagerly takes it bouncing on her feet as she admires how pretty it looks the whole room brightens at her joy and everyone is relieved to see her Happy ARA watching the moment unfold expresses her deep gratitude to gray unsure of how to properly thank him but gray brushes it off as nothing instead He suggests

heading inside to eat Aral tells Nina she can go play with Theo but gray chimes in saying she can stay right where she is it's no problem beaming yina settles onto Gray's lap as everyone sits down for the meal gray quietly observes isuka asking Foo to eat his mushrooms to gray isuka just seems like A regular kid one who has no idea that someday he's meant to become the hero who saves the world that thought unsettles gray he knows he'll have to lend his strength to isuka when the time comes but if he had any

say in it he'd rather let these kids live peaceful lives breaking out of his thoughts gray gathers everyone's attention as the chatter quiets all eyes turn to him he takes a moment before sharing his plan he's thinking of buying a house in the City and asks if they would like to live there for a moment silence fills the room then isuka speaks up saying they're all just really surprised F hesitantly asks if gray means just everyone ARL still trying to process it asks again if he really means all of them gray simply nods Nina immediately

declares that she wants to live with Dad her voice full of excitement ARA determined says she'll do her best too gray taken a back wonders how things escalated so quickly this Wasn't exactly how he planned things to go but after spending the past month with them there's no way he can just walk away at the very least he's relieved they're not upset with him Aral sensing his thoughts assures him that there's no reason they'd be mad he's given them food taken care of them and even fixed NE as doll he's done more for them than

they ever could have expected they're incredibly grateful she turns to the group checking if everyone is okay With it meanwhile gray sits in silence trying to wrap his head around what Stella Chan is thinking excitement fills the room even Stella who usually keeps her herself is quietly smiling after a moment nah looks up at gray and asks where he's going he explains that he's off to find a new house for them and tells them to wait here she nods saying she understands and gray thanks everyone the group is is eager and isuka constantly assures gray

that they'll all Be waiting for his return at the adventurer's guild gray starts envisioning his ideal home cooking dinner for everyone a proper bath and separate rooms for isuka and the others a spacious living room sounds nice too the more he thinks about it the bigger his plans get maybe a large house or even a place big enough for a party just as he's lost in thought ganza shows up again immediately asking if gray got the old Orcs ear Gray size already irritated Not this guy again the man insists it's impossible that gray defeated the

orc just two days ago there's no way he demands that gray be honest about where he got the items gray is getting seriously fed up he wonders if this guy is actually serious before gray can respond the man starts answering his own question speculating about where gray must have bought those old orc ears that's it Gray's done he fires back sarcastically suggesting that if the guy Is too scared to to hunt goblins maybe he should try picking herbs instead gray knows how the system works adventurers can still get rewards for defeating monsters even without taking

on an official Quest all they need is proof like an work's ear but the guy keeps arguing saying that the ear gray brought isn't valid because it's attached to the skull so gray casually tosses the orc's head at him warning him not to drop it he went through the trouble of bringing The whole thing after all the man stares in horror as gray taunts him calling him him Cherry Boy The Guild receptionist quickly steps in telling gray to stop and to report the mission completion properly gray casually plops the skull onto the counter Sasha immediately

scolds him saying that dumping a severed monster head in the middle of the guild could be considered harassment gray shrugs arguing that it's just a proof but she isn't having it she warns him That if a new receptionist had been here she might have fainted just from the sight of it gray reassures her pondering Sasha is one of the few receptionists who never seen scared of him that's why even when the guild is crowded he always waits for her to process his requests though by the look on her face she doesn't seem thrilled about it

Sasha hands gray his reward and he takes the opportunity to ask her something she raises an eyebrow it's rare for him to Ask for help but tells him to make it quick she reminds him that providing guidance is part of the Guild's job so she'll help however she can then she calls over another receptionist Melinda to take over for her while she steps away she she agrees but the moment she spots the orc's head she lets out a horrified screen calling for Sasha Gray noticing the commotion checks in to see if everything's okay meanwhile Sasha

ever the professional remains unfazed She jokes that if people didn't call her by name she probably relax all the time she shifts the conversation on how unexpected its hat gry is suddenly asking about real estate gray and Sasha arve the property and Sasha explains that this house fits all of Gray's requirements he takes a look around immediately noting how massive it is Sasha elaborates mentioning that the place was previously used for valkyrie Gatherings but when their events got too Big they relocated now the house sits empty waiting for its next owner as great processes this

he recalls that the Valkyries are an elite high-ranking group made up entirely of women nearly reaching rank s in basto with invitations to Noble and Royal events they are highly sought after he Chuckles of the thought of young noes practically tripping over themselves at the sight of them for a brief moment he wonders if the house is being offered to him as Part of some Valkyrie related scheme with the location size and number of rooms are too perfect to pass up he can already picture the kid's excitement when they see it Sasha seems surprised at

how quickly he's making a decision and gray notes that the price is shockingly low nearly half of what similar properties go for in this area Sasha then reveals that the Valkyries themselves have arranged for half of the cost to be covered but only if he is the One buying it it's an amazing deal and gray knows he can't turn it down just as he is about to relax his instincts kick in he casually acknowledges the presence of a few individuals one nearby two on the roof and two more hiding in the shadows ahead his Focus

shifts to a hooded figure lurking behind him if you're planning Ambush at least learn to hide your blood lust the hooded man immediately asks if he's gray and everything clicks these guys are from The spacious spider same group same tactics there's no way they're getting away this time the man boldly declares he's here to take Gray's life but before he can even finish gray moves in an instant he's gripping The Man by the neck his voice calm yet threatening if they aren't part of resp spacious spider he'll deal with them quickly but if they are

he'll make sure it's painful there's no time for games so they better start talking within Moments gray sdu the man with ease sighing as he realizes this whole situation is an inconvenience he still has dinner to make for the kids and these interruptions are getting annoying turning to another gang member he simply states that their time is up the man now trapped stares at him in horror demanding to know how gray managed to restrain him so effortlessly gr just shrugs explaining that it's nothing special he's already taken care of the Ones on the roof as

well meanwhile just outside the kid's cabin two more gang members from before whisper among themselves one suggests taking advantage of Gray's absence to attack but the other quickly shuts him down if that man returns they won't stand a chance before they can continue their discussion a voice breaks through the silence gray emerges from the Shadows completely unfazed ignoring his warning hauh the two men freeze in Terror their earlier Confidence Vanishing instantly without wasting time gray ties them up as well he didn't get much information from the others but if these two want a painless end

they better start talking otherwise they should stop lurking where they don't belong later that night gray returns to the cabin greeted by ARL who looks relieved to see him Nina rushes forward beaming as she welcomes him back gray shifts his Focus he'll deal with those gang members later once the kids Are asleep right now his priority is them Nina tugs at his sleeve looking up at him expectantly before asking to be held he hesitates for a moment before lifting her onto his lap and she instantly settles in comfortably the moment doesn't last long before the

other kids start gathering around isuka eagerly offers to help with anything he needs while Stella quickly claims her turn on his lap gray laughs promising that he'll hold her too then Lutz rushes Over clearly excited about his turn once everyone is settled he finally shares the big news the house is officially theirs and in two days when everything's ready they'll move in everyone's super excited after that they all go to sleep Gray's just about to leave putting on his clothes when Stella suddenly ask if he's going to work calling him dad he quickly apologizes for

waking her and reassures her that he's just stepping out for a bit Stella with a curious look Asks if he'll come back and gray Smiles telling her that of course he'll be back soon they'll be living together from now on he promises her not to worry Stella still thinking calls him again and asks with a slight tilt of her head why he decided to become their father gray chuckled softly saying he has nothing to hide and could tell her right then and and there but Stella shakes her head saying she'd rather hear it when everyone

is around gray agrees knowing It's something that should be shared with all of them as he heads out he feels like Stella has seen right through him but instead of feeling uncomfortable it's actually a comforting sensation with a sigh he starts thinking about how gids to track down the rest of those guys he mutters to himself dad's going to work hard and looks forward to the lads showing him the way to their Hideout gray finds himself standing with two guys one resigned to his fate having LED gray straight to their Hideout while the other is

desperately begging for mercy the second guy inist sees change swearing he'll never attack the kids again and just wants to live an honest life gray unimpressed recognizes him as Cassie and reflects on the fact that these guys were the ones who started all this trouble he had already warned them but they didn't listen he swiftly deals with them deciding it's too much of a risk to let them walk free no matter how Much they claim to have changed the safety of the kids and their past victims comes first determined to wrap things up quickly gray

pushes forward knowing Nina would be lonely and stelle would be worried if he took too long meanwhile one of the remaining thugs a blonde guy looks at gray questioning who he even is gray definitely doesn't come across as a typical law-abiding citizen more like an adventurer who takes things into his own hands gray moves Efficiently finishing off his enemies with Precision a direct hit to the head is the fastest and most reliable method ensuring they don't come back as Undead he avoids using magic figuring there might be someone capable of sensing magical energy the remaining

thugs are panicking wondering what's happening outside when they finally confront him gray casually mentions he already took care of their friends and is in the middle of dealing with another one the Fight doesn't last long he wipes them all out he notes the usual setup a big cave serving as their hideout in size realizing it'll take some time to reach the bosses room before he can make much progress someone suddenly shouts about an intruder and a massive guy appears boasting about being a former rank B Adventurer gray barely reacts already dismissing the guy is weaker

than ganas just as the fight begins an assassin jumps into attack making gray question What kind of training this organization even gives its members one particularly bald and terrified Thug tries to flee but gray quickly catches up knocking him down with a well-placed kick holding the guy's face up he notes how cold he looks running away was never going to work he demands directions to the boss's office and after a bit of hesitation the guy finally gives in and points the way gray considers wrapping things up in style maybe sending in that giant bird as

a Parting gift at last he stands before the boss the man seems both surprised and impressed that gray actually made it this far just like the reports had warned he's curious what is gray to those kids exactly gray doesn't hesitate as he draws his sword making it clear he's their father the boss is baffled laughing at the absurdity convinced gray has completely lost it but gray is short on time and has no patience for this conversation he's ready to end it he Tells the boss to prepare to make amends in his next life the boss

realizing things aren't looking great for him throws out a cryptic remark about the kids hinting that they aren't normal but before any answers come the scene shifts the next morning gray is practically buried under nenina and Stella who are eagerly trying to wake him up for breakfast Nina clearly having fun blurts something out while poking at him even Aral watching from nearby tells them to Stop pestering Gray he's probably exhausted gray half asleep figures he'll get up soon but for now he's just enjoying the warmth back at the Inn the in master from earlier is

asking about the rapacious spiders he says they're apparently a large scale group in the city and many members are Fighters they constantly get into fights with the city guards causing a lot of headaches but now all those guys were wiped out in just one night all their heads were cut Off he asks if gray believes it because he heard even the hidden members were killed including the boss Lena also heard it when she went out the Baldi adds that no matter how much they tried they'll probably fail they should be scared of doing something wrong

and ending up as the next Target the old inke keeper blissfully unaware of the whole conversation just goes about his business Lena on the other hand starts reminiscing about gray remembering how Scary he looked when she was younger even now she finds his face a bit intimidating gray meanwhile is focused on more important things like getting everything ready for the big move to their new home the plan is set private rooms for everyone the kids are thrilled and gray happily volunteers to help wash their hair at the clothing shop the attendant looks nervous around gray

but asks what kind of outfits they need gray completely uninterested in fashion Leaves the choices up to the shopkeeper Ara teases that maybe he should help pick since gry's fashion sense is questionable at best meanwhile Nina excitedly shows off a New Dress twirling like a little princess the whole group is in High Spirits when they finally arrive at their new house it's even more impressive than they expected huge spotless and full of possibilities Stella is already dashing off to explore dragging n now along with her the second Floor is filled with cozy individual rooms and

the kids are thrilled to claim their own space Ariel holds back letting everyone choose first reminding himself that they're a family now and this place is Theirs to grow into it'll take some time for everyone to adjust but the excitement in the air is undeniable while the kids are busy settling in Gray's mind drifts to practical matters making sure they have enough food keeping things organized and maybe even Considering school there's a great School in the city one of the best for children but it's also packed with Noble kids that part worries Gray he doesn't

want his kids facing discrimination or bullying just because of their background he wonders if now is the right time or if he should wait a little longer more than anything he just wants them to grow up happy and have Bright Futures as night falls gray finally heads to bed only to find that Stella Lutz and Nina have decided they're not quite ready to sleep alone they crawl into his bed snuggling up for the night just as he's getting comfortable there's a knock at the door no surprise it's isuka F and Aral all sheepishly claiming they

don't want to sleep alone either and so on their very first night in their grand new home the whole family ends up coily piled into one room laughing and chatting until they Drift Off to Sleep a month flies by and Breakfast at the house has become a lively familiar routine gray looks around the table realizing how much he's gotten to know the kids he's learned that ashuka isn't much of a morning person while Theo is incredibly sensitive and N absolutely loves food completely opposite to Stella who is the pickiest eater especially when it comes to

vegetables but if it's sweets no hesitation those two are definitely the hardest to handle Then there's Aral who's always experimenting in the kitchen eager to learn new recipes the biggest surprise Aral can actually read and write which is pretty rare for kids in this Kingdom especially non- Nobles after breakfast gray gets ready to leave for work the kids wait him off but in the backyard he spots Lutz who as usual is quiet and more interested in the the animals around him than in saying goodbye gray notes that Lutz is by far the calmest of The

group always drawn to creatures big and small as he heads out gray reflects that while he's learned a lot about the kids there's still plenty more to figure out near bastock he takes on a simple Goblin hunting Quest normally he'd go for the bigger High reward missions that take days to complete and require traveling far from the city but things are different now with the kids at home he doesn't want to be away for too long short daily Quest like this one are the Better choice once he's done he stops by The adventurer's Guild to

pick up his reward from Sasha she immediately comment that he's changed gray doesn't get what she means but Sasha points out that he's been avoiding longer missions lately more than that he's completely ignoring gas's usual attempts to provoke him gray hadn't even noticed but apparently ganis has been trying every single day including right now he's literally behind gray trying anything And everything to get a reaction but gray simply grabs his reward and walks out leading Gans as frustrated as ever on his way home he stops by a small market and picks up some sweets for

the kids as he continues walking his thoughts drift to his past life he remembers how empty his home used to feel how there was no one waiting for him no warmth to return to those days of loneliness are long gone now along with his old life before he even realizes it He's home Lut and Nina are in the backyard playing and they're the first to spot him Eric ARL appears in the doorway announcing that dinner's ready gray hands her the bag of sweets saying it's for everyone to share after the meal Arial thanks him but

gently reminds him not to bring sweets every day otherwise he's going to spoil them all she even points out that Stella has already been skipping dinner just to eat the treats gray Chuckles and admits She's got a point maybe he should cut back a little dinner is Lively as usual but Asuka and Foo keep sneaking glances at each other let they have something big to say finally isuka speaks up they both want to become adventurers like gray fleo even asks if he could teach them swordsmanship and Magic before gray can respond ARL shoots up from

her seat clearly not thrilled about this but gray stays calm and says he doesn't mind though Now isn't the best time for the Discussion he reminds them that being an adventurer is tough and full of unpredictable dangers in his head though he already knows isuka has the potential to be great just like in bright fantasy if isuka is going to follow that path he'll needs skills and experience and gray is more than willing to guide him so he can avoid unnecessary risks after dinner gray tucks Stella and Lutz into bed telling them a story until

they drift off finally he settles in for the Night just as he's about to fall asleep he hears Stella mumbling in her sleep he listens closely and something about this feels important the next morning breakfast is another cheerful Affair except for one thing Stella is staring hard it's as if she's trying to read his soul but gray decides to just ignore it and enjoy the meal with everyone before he heads out to the adventurer's guild ariam will hands him a lunchbox saying she's Noticed he's been skipping meals with all the extra work he's been doing

gray touched by the gesture thanks her and takes it just as he's about to leave Arial brings up her worries about isuka and Foo becoming adventurers gray reassures her that it's ultimately their choice but he wants to support their dreams if she's that concerned He suggests she talk to them directly she agrees saying she'll have that conversation finally he heads off to the Adventurers Guild when gray arrives at the adventurer's guild the place is packed he spots Sasha rushing back and forth clearly swamped with work curious he stops her to ask what's going on she

quickly explains that today is a big deal the Valkyries are finally returning from their expedition to the Garden a dungeon that had never been fully cleared before apparently there's been a flyer about it hanging at the guild entrance for days GRE glance is at it Realizing it's the same one he's been ignoring all this time and just shrugs Sasha too busy to deal with him today tells him to find another receptionist for his mission request she also throws in a warning not to bring any monster heads this time the last time he did that poor

Melinda cried for hours gray moves on to the quest board scanning through the options it's been a while since he entered a dungeon and honestly Soo one would be a nightmare dungeons Aren't just dangerous because of the sheer number of Monsters Inside but also because of the unpredictable creatures lurking within even outside dungeons monsters can have weird abilities like magic resistant goblins or ones that are way too smart for their kind while novice Hunters can take down the usual dumb goblins intelligent ones those are a different story after some thought gray picks a goblin hunting

Quest easy good pay and quick to finish He heads out efficiently clearing the area around the city and wrapping up faster than expected taking a break he finally digs Into The Lunchbox ARL packed for him and it's amazing as he eats he can't help but think about how ARL isn't just a great cook but also a beautiful girl who probably grow into a stunning woman he jokes to himself that he might need to start training now so that if she ever brings home a fiance he doesn't accidentally slice his head off Once he's gathered proof

of his Goblin hunt gray returns to the guild Melinda already on edge spots him in her line and looks like she's bracing for the worst but to her relas this time he's only brought Goblin ears not full Monster heads as she processes his quest gray casually asks if the Valkyries have returned yet she confirms they have and are upstairs in a meeting with Sasha and the Guild Master surprised that he's actually asking About people in The Guild she teases him saying it makes sense since the Valkyries are famous for being some of the most beautiful

adventurers around Melinda wonders if he's planning to wait around or go see them but gray decides against it he actually didn't want to talk to to them and thank them for the house but since they seem busy he Figures it's better to leave it for another day when gray gets home he thanks Aral for The Lunchbox and she's Thrilled to hear he liked it she promises to make him one every day from now on after gray takes a shower and has dinner with the kids he decides to play some games with them they're having a

great time playing cards and laughing when suddenly someone starts knocking on the door the knocking is so persistent it starts to get on Gray's nerves ruining the peaceful evening he's not happy but he heads over to see who's at the door and is surprised to find two Members of The Valkyrie standing there Amelia the valkyrie's leader is the one on the right and casha her teammate is the one on the left Amelia starts off by demanding to know why gray didn't come talk to them earlier she's Furious because Melinda the Guild's resident snitch told her

that gray had been at the guild but didn't stop by to say hello Amilia is clearly annoyed and gray sensing trouble silently than Melinda for being such a tattletail while Emilia Is busy giving gray a hard time casha with a big smile asks if gray isn't going to invite them in since they're attracting a lot of attention out there before gray can answer ARL steps up behind him asking who these women are if they're friends of Grays and if they'd like some tea the two women are caught off guard by arl's sudden appearance and Aral

looks a bit confused by their reaction gray without missing a beat tells them to come on in once once Everyone's inside isuka asks who the women are and gray casually explains that they're his old teammates Foo and isuka are in awe clearly impressed and curious about how skilled they must be to have been part of Gray's Group after ARL serves them tea the conversation kicks off meanwhile Stella and Nina sneak onto Gray's lap clinging to him for no apparent reason Gray's a bit confused not understanding why they're acting so clingy but ARL explains that The

girls are jealous and don't want these women to take him away ARL tries to pull them off but the girls won't let go insisting they don't want gray to get taken away by these strangers Emilia finally asks gray who the kids are and he casually replies my kids she looks surprised for a moment before irritation crosses her face making nah a little nervous casha quickly scolds Amilia for scaring the kids then turns to Aral and asks her age she reveals that it's 13 Cash a smirks saying that explains everything there's no way the kids are

Graz biological daughters after all 13 years ago gray was dating Emilia that remark makes Emilia turn bright red completely flustered and there you have it Gray's the real deal no dithering protagonist who Waits until his 30s to figure things out he's a family man whether he planned it or not back to the story casha also notices little Stella is a half blood when Stella catches the Two women staring she shrinks back in fear gray reassures her telling her there's nothing to worry about these two won't hurt her after all half Bloods especially kids are rare

in this world often sold as slaves or treated horribly gray just wants to make sure she feels safe gray sits everyone down and decides to explain everything from the beginning he tells the whole story starting from when he met isuka all the way to the present once he's done Amilia and casha Just nod saying this is exactly the kind of thing gray would do they chat for a while not just about the kids but also about the house gray had already thanked the Valkyries for helping him get it at a lower price so there's not

much left to say eventually he notices it's gotten pretty late and the kids are starting to get sleepy he decides to put them to bed while ailia and casha say it's time for them to head home too gray offers to walk them back but they wave him off Reminding him that they rank a adventurers it don't need an escort he says goodbye telling them to drop by anytime just as they're about to leave ARL pops up to see them off as well she tells ailia that even if gray isn't home they're welcome to visit whenever

they like since any friend of Gray's is always welcome the word friend hits Amilia like a dagger to the heart she definitely sees herself as more than just a friend with her Pride a little Bruised she in cash a head off promising to visit again the next morning Grace says goodbye to the kids and gets ready to head to the adventurer's Guild on his way out he spots isuka and Theo practicing basic sword techniques he reminds them not to overdo do it pushing too hard could get them hurt they nod but also ask if he

can start teaching them magic next time gray tells them that before they even think about learning magic they need to learn how to Read and write something they unfortunately don't know yet after saying his goodbyes he heads off thinking to himself that the life he has now is worth more than any rare treasure he feels like he could take on anything to protect this new life of his maybe this is what it means to be a father at the guild he bumps into the Valkyries again Aleria mentions she's about to head out gray assumes it's

for another Expedition but she clarifies that she's Actually on her way to report to the city Lord about their dungeon raid in the garden she asks if he wants to know what the dungeon was like and when he says yes she tries to turn it into an excuse for a little one-on-one time before she can finish though casha grabs her and drags her away saying they're in a hurry and Emilia can flirt some other time once they're gone gray chats with Melinda grabs a new Quest and sets off as he works on his mission he

reminisces About his old adventuring group Blade the team included Amelia A swordswoman casha A Healer and gray himself a magic Knight their leader was a Lancer and there were two other members whose names he doesn't mention they started as an average group but through experience and hard work they climbed the ranks pretty fast gray doesn't dwell on it for too long though he finishes his mission and heads back to the guild to collect his reward on his way out out he runs into Amelia and casha again they chat for a bit and gray asks how

the meeting with the city Lord went Amelia sigh saying they talked about a lot of things but the big news of the day wasn't even the dungeon it was about a new hero chosen by the Oracle from another country gray is caught off guard by this and Amilia doesn't look too thrilled either she explains that the Lord and some Nobles wanted the Valkyries to join the hero's party mainly because they're a high Ranking group on the verge of reaching rank s+ since they're an all female team it was clear that the Nobles had other motives

they wanted one of the Valkyries to become the hero's bride gray asks if she accepted and milia practically yells that she refused she felt like she and her teen were being treated as objects not adventurers casha quickly scolds her for shouting inside the guild and Amelia realizing everyone is staring apologizes before storming off later that day gray Arrives home and is immediately swarmed by the kids Aral tells him that Lutz nah and Stella have something important to show him the kids proudly line up holding out papers with drawings they made of him prepare yourself for

cuteness overload gray takes one look at their work and collapses on the spot the kids Panic thinking he doesn't like their drawings but he quickly pulls them into a hug telling them he's beyond happy he's so happy in fact that he vows To buy special magical frames resistant to fire water and impacts just SOI can keep their drawings safe Forever at that moment gray makes a new promise to himself to become the best father ever the day starts with gray waking up to the kids sleeping around him he gets up and thinks he needs to

buy picture frames today as he leaves his room he runs into aryal who's about to prepare breakfast but gray says today he's the one who make breakfast while gray Cooks ARL sets the table then Foo bursts into the kitchen apologizing for being late Aral with messy hair and clothes is surprised to see great cooking breakfast and a little embarrassed by her disheveled appearance Grace says she arrived at the perfect time and asks her to wake everyone up Theo goes to wake isuka and her shouts echo through the house while Theo tries to wake isuka the

three little ones wake up on their own and sleepily walk to the Kitchen gray leaves Aral to finish preparing breakfast while he heads to the battlefield with towels in hand to help the kids wash their faces it seems like an easy task but it's not that simple while he tries to wash Nina's face who acts like a scared Kitten around water Stella plays with the water more than actually washing her face and Lutz oh my God someone help this boy after this fierce battle gray returns with the kids completely soaked as he Dries himself off

he tells Aral not to prepare his lunch box because he's not taking a mission at the guild today the kids get excited asking if gray isn't going to work gray says he's staying home today and more than that they're all going out together Stella asks if she can come too and Grace says yes after all this is a family outing Stella is Overjoyed by Gray's words meanwhile gray knows why she asked that question she must be worried that people will Stare at them because of her but he says if he finds anyone like that he'll

cut them or rather he'll solve the problem peacefully gray also mentions that the other day while talking to ARL one of his friends he was stopped by a guard who thought he was a suspicious man approaching an elf and today during their outing he was approached again this time the guards accused him of being a child kidnapper gray thinks to himself that the prejudice against his Face is worse than the prejudice against a halfblood vampire like Stella the guards start interrogating gray in the middle of the street saying these kids can't be his because they

don't look anything like him but when one of the guards mention Stella the child with purple hair and red eyes they insist they're just doing their job and decide to take gray to the station to sort things out ARL then shouts at the guards saying they're a family and if the Guards only see the kids as I when they're clean and well-dressed the guards seem confused but Nina and Lutz clinged to Gray's legs begging them not to hurt their dad gray feels uncomfortable because from the guard's perspective it looks like he's using the kids as

a shield to torment them well either way it works and the guards leave Aral grabs Gray's arm and leads everyone away from the scene as far as possible as they walk away ARL with a serious Excretion says the guards never helped them when they were wearing rags and surviving on scraps after a few seconds Arial snaps out of it and starts apologizing her face red with embarrassment gray just thanks her saying today the protector was the one being protected after all that gray heads to the Inn where he used to live before buying his house

there he meets his friend the inkeeper and his daughter Lena both are shocked that gray suddenly Has kids gray with the kids in his arms says there's nothing strange about it his friend says he just finds it curious that gray suddenly did something so different from what his appearance suggests so the inkeeper and Lena decide to prepare a big lunch to celebrate with gray and so everyone enjoyed a delicious lunch together while the kids seemed to have fun getting to know Lena gray told his friend that his cooking had improved a lot in response his

friend says the Food just tastes better when you're with family a few days after Gray's outing with the kids he is at home talking to Aral she says she's going out with Lena today to do some shopping and gray is happy that he introduced Lena to ARL since they become good friends ARL seems much happier lately because of this a few hours later that same day while gray is walking around the city he runs into Lena's father they start having a friendly conversation and as they head Toward the end they run into ARL and Lena

who are being asked out by two guys they refuse but the guys keep insisting that's when the killing machines I mean the two protective dads show up behind them with big smiles on their faces rad happiness they call the guys over for a little chat in the end they just give the boys a small scolding while the two guys tremble in fear thinking gray and his friend are dangerous criminals after the boys run away in fear ARL who was Waiting for gray nearby apologizes for bothering him with this gray notes ARL holds herself back too

much and that she should have fun more often instead of always being so reserved he says he's happy she's made a new friend obviously referring to Lena gray says she's just a girl and doesn't mind spoiling her a little he says he'd like to spoil her just like he spoils Nina and the others at that moment Nina and the kids arrive and she asks if being spoiled is a Bad Thing gray says spoiling her makes him happy and that he'll spoil her a lot just like he'll spoil Stella and Lutz who come running over creating

attention gray picks them both up and says they'll always get his attention just like isuka and Foo who are standing nearby and are usually quiet because they're shy gray turns to AR and expresses that he'll always spoil her too since she's always holding herself back and staying reserved with that gray gives everyone a Big hug even making Steve maau shed a manly tear the next day gray is training isuka in swordsmanship he instructs isuka not to close his eyes while attacking among other issues he has he decides that he'll also teach him magic but only

when he learns to read and write correctly and without mistakes as that's the basics for learning magic gray also says it's not not worth teaching someone who doesn't dedicate themselves to their studies while gray Is teaching Asuka ARL watches the entire training session through the window gray remembers he only started giving lessons to Asuka and Theo because ARL who was against it at first asked him to teach them gray sees ARL as a child with a very mature sense of protection especially for her age after leaving isuka completely exhausted gray tells him to rest and

it's now F's turn to train now we'll shift The Narrative to another place specifically the holy Church Storia where a middle-aged man is talking to a supposed young Knight The Man dressed like a priest or Bishop speaks to the boy with a smile on his face he says the carriage will arrive soon to pick him up the boy with a somewhat depressed expression just accepts what the man says after walking away the man no longer has a smile but an arrogant look he says taking care of a disheartened boy like this is discouraging but now

he needs to go After the Saint the Knight beside him confirms that the saint is in the neighboring country the man scolds him telling him not to say the saint belongs to another country but to their own where the holy church is located he warns the Knight not to repeat that as someone might hear them as the man walks toward the carriage he thinks to himself that the saint is from a wealthy Merchant class and like the saint he captured she's also an orphan thanks to That they can now have the saint with the church

without any issues with that said the man says it's time for them to go and give their greeting to the sa AR Mall [Music] [Applause] am here I stand I know I walked away had to find a person might become
