CH 97.7

AN: I mentioned last chapter that there might be a continuation of the chapter and here it is. This part feels like out of place to be included from the last one so I’m posting this one by itself even though it’s super short

TN: I did not translate what he mentioned last chapter and this chapter’s title was actually the same as the previous one including the number.

After the startup test of the clock tower class magic construct, brother-in-law stayed in our house.

He is going to remain in Torquiva for a few days from now to do this season’s inspection tomorrow.

「Mommm!」

「Grandma～!」

「When did they start talking? Children grow up so fast it makes me dizzy.」

Brother-in-law, who had taken off his military uniform and is now dressed comfortably, murmured that while sitting in an easy chair in the living room with the twins on his lap.

Noah and Lacus have grown to love him and he sends them all the latest children’s clothes that are trending in the royal capital every season.

「We just got the children’s clothes again the other day, sorry for the trouble.」

「Don’t mind it, I just did what I want.」

「But……our return gift for the princess……」

Seeing me getting down and down, brother-in-law just snorted.

「I just wanted to send gifts for my nephew and niece so you don’t have to send gifts for my bride to be.」

「Right, we are relatives so we shouldn’t be so formal.」

If I were from a royal family like the two of you, I might understand but I’m from a commoner’s family.

My ancestors were born in the temple and raised on the mountain roads. They even had their own bandit group.

「Ah, by the way, the sake you sent her, she seems to like it quite a bit. And since it’s hard to find it in the royal capital, she said she’d like you to send some to her once in a while.」

「Eh? Doesn’t that mean I just got a royal order!」

「If you think so, raise the price a little. Or do you want to make the princess drink something cheap?」

Brother-in-law said that with a joking expression on his face but I don’t think he’s joking at all!

Even if it was only a lip service, not reacting to the royal princess’ praise would be a problem.

Send some to the princess every month and double the price….

「Sake? Are you talking about Laura Rola?」

Laura-san, who was knitting near the fireplace, turned around and asked that. Brother in law nodded while patting Noah and Lacus’ heads.

「Yeah, that sweet sake. It seems to be popular with ladies and I think half of what we had were given to others as gifts.」

「I’ll send you a box every month.」

「Maa, just do that. He gives Noah and Lacus a lot of things after all.」

The conversation is proceeding in a lighthearted manner as if we’re deciding how to gift back what you received during the year end reunion. However, it’s just unusual that the royal family is involved in it.

I wonder what kind of people our twins will grow up to be if they grow up in a family like this….?

Will they grow up in a high society……

Well, as long as they grow up healthy, I would not ask for more.

After watching Noah and Lacus Sleeping in brother in law’s arms, I kind of looked out the window.

Outside the window, in the clear winter sky, the full moon of this world with a horizontal line, was floating as if watching over the children.
