Case 104: Reunited.

Case 104: Reunited.

''Whoa... The trees are so high...'' Anna mutters, looking out the window of the car.

''Hm.'' Tina nods. ''The air is fresh too.''

''I told you, right~...?'' I interject, sinking into the car seat. ''Feels so good...''

''Mhmm...'' Emy, who has me in her embrace, moans lightly and rests her chin on my shoulder.

'''' Hah... ''''

This is it. This is home.

It's been a really long time since I've breathed the air here... Actually, excluding Liana, who's still sleeping for some reason, we elves, including our driver Justia, are practically melting right now.

''How long will it take until we reach the castle, Justia?''

''Half an hour, Your Holiness.''

''Sure...''

Mom, dad... I'm coming home...

''Whoa... There are so many cars...!''

So the cat and Liana finally woke up a few minutes ago.

We're now moving through the busiest part of the city, near the path to the Emerald Palace - My home. And as expected of those nerd elves, it's looking completely different here.

First of all, the number of cars here is significantly higher than in Xeno. How'd they even produce this much just in half a year...?

And of course, cameras.

Virtually everyone has a camera with them now, just look at those people taking selfies.

''God, everyone here is beautiful...'' Tina mutters.

Yeah, and our people are naturally beautiful, so they would undoubtedly look very good on camera.

''Hmm...'' I narrow my eyes to scan the sidewalks.Cheêck out latest novels at novelhall.com

Where is it... Oh! There we go.

A booth with transparent glass walls and a green roof. Inside is an elf talking to a small device connected.

A phone...!

''Is that the phone that you've always talked about?'' Liana taps me on the shoulder, pointing at another booth.

''Yes! This will be huge...''

Can I do facetime too? I can, right? Tell me that I can, I believe in you, elf nerds!

Oh, I can see the castle now, here I come, home!

''Mom~!"

I fling the car door open, flying straight to mom, who's been waiting for me at the castle gate.

''I missed you!'' I hug her tightly.

She immediately wraps her arms around me, patting my back lightly.

''I missed you too, baby.''

''Mhmm...''

''How was your life there? Was there any difficulties?''

''What the hell are you saying, Beryl?!'' Mom chokes on her tea and stares wide-eyed at my mother-in-law.

Albert is speechless, it seems.

...I guess this is where Liana's frankness came from.

''No, it's the truth.'' She shrugs. ''With her huge assets and her sweet personality, no sensible futa would be foolish enough to pass her up.''

''Mom?!'' Liana exclaims, grabbing her mom's arm.

''Ow!''

''I'm not stealing your girlfriend, idiot.'' She flicks Liana's forehead. ''I don't want to, and I don't think I can anyway.''

You're right, ma'am. I have no intention of betraying any of my girlfriends.

''Umm...'' I interject. ''Please don't make Tina and Anna nervous. Especially Anna, she's very shy...'' I gently stroke Anna's head.

''Oh, that was my bad. I'm sorry, young ladies.'' Albert bows his head lightly.

''Oh, no, no, no! Please raise your head...!'' Anna awkwardly hovers her hands abode Albert's shoulder, unable to decide if she really can touch him or not.

''You don't need to do that, Your Excellency.'' Tina adds.

''I understand.'' Albert lifts his head and smiles lightly. ''In any case, we'll be family in the future, so please take care of me.''

''Me too~'' Marquess Seymour says cheerfully.

Finally getting the pass from both of them, both Anna and Tina brighten up visibly.

The door suddenly opens, revealing a disheveled dad.

''Sylvia!'' He nearly shouts when he sees me. ''You're finally back!''

''Hi dad~'' I stand up and hug him briefly.

''Sorry, I didn't come with your mom earlier. The meeting took longer than expected.'' He smiles apologetically.

''That's fine, dad.'' I flash him a bright, 'daughter' smile.

''Hm, hm. What a nice girl.'' He replies contently. ''And nice to meet you guys again, my daughter-in-laws.'' He turns to my girlfriends this time, earning him light greetings from them.

''Ah, Sylvia.'' He turns back to me. ''The 'field' that you requested is completed. We can go right to testing now.''

''Really?!'' I exclaim.

''Of course.'' Dad smiles contently, then turns to the others again. ''Let us all go and have fun together?''

''Why not?'' Marquess Seymour stands up.

''Sure.'' Albert as well.

Yes...! It's time for absolute destruction!!!

''Wait.'' Mom suddenly speaks. ''Can the four of you stay here for a bit? It won't take long.'' She looks at my girlfriends who are about to follow us.

'''' ... ''''

Uh, oh. I can't really do anything about this.

Good luck, my comrades..!
