Dad Is a Hero, Mom Is a Spirit, I'm a Reincarnator (父は英雄、母は精霊、娘の私は転生者)

Oh, that's right. I understand you started a family on the other side.

How do you know that?!

I've been curious ever since I heard about your very lovely daughter.

What do you say? Why not introduce her to my son?

I decline.

I have His Majesty's word about my reward.

Make no contact with the Vankreift family.

I shall withdraw for now.

For now? You mean from now on, Your Highness.

Come in.

Welcome home, Lord Rovel.

Lord Sauvel returned earlier, saying today was to be celebrated...

Alberto!

Yes, my lord?

Whether you acted for the good of this family or not, do not anger me any further.

I'm relieving you as Sauvel's bodyguard.

Consider yourself suspended.

As you wish.

KING RAVISEL

Oh, how could this...

Rovel. It really is you, isn't it?

Mother.

Oh, I'm so glad you're safe...

I'm terribly sorry to have been away for so long.

It's you that we're talking about, after all.

We were saying perhaps you weren't coming home

out of adamant refusal to marry that woman.

You saw right through me. My goodness.

And yet, I never imagined she'd marry Sauvel...

But it seems you've chased her away.

Yes.

Roren, be sure to send all of that woman's belongings to the castle tomorrow.

It would be my pleasure.

By the way, where is Alberto?

On that matter...

I relieved him of his duties

and placed him under suspension for now.

What?

It seems he has a rather loose tongue. He's not to be trusted.

What do you mean? Please explain.

In truth, I am already married. I have a spirit wife and a child.

What?

This is something only a select few know.

However, Prince Ravisel has asked to introduce his son and my daughter.

And you suspect Alberto of telling His Highness?

Indeed. The royal family bears a curse that prevents them from contacting spirits.

And the irritating part is that His Highness likely intends

to use my daughter to solve that problem.

Are you saying Alberto was using Lady Ellen as a bargaining chip?

That's right.

What treachery!

Shall I finish him off?

There's no need for that.

It would fly in the face of my father's feelings.

Alberto felt indebted to Father.

He may have been trying to seek the royal family's intentions regarding Agiel.

Apologies, my brother.

This is all because of how pathetic I was.

That's enough.

Well, I'll need to be cautious, but on the positive side,

I can now introduce my wife and daughter to society.

Rovel, are you not forgetting something?

Yes?

Shouldn't you introduce your wife and daughter to me first?

My, my.

Mother, are you not scared?

Of what?

Of Father's mother! That makes her your mother-in-law!

Gosh, you've already learned that word too, Ellen? Good job!

That's not what this is about! What are you going to do if she's scary?

It'll be fine. If things gets awkward, we'll just never see each other again.

You're taking this so lightly... But that's just like you, Mother.

So, when will you allow me to meet them?

Er, I'm on it.

Ori, Ellen!

Darling!

Father, you did a great job!

Oh, Ellen!

My, my, my!

Mother, let me introduce you to my wife, Ori, and my daughter, Ellen.

Could it be? Is this woman your spirit?

Indeed, she is the spirit queen.

It's been a while.

In this world, I'm known by such names as the Primordial King or Mother of All Things.

My heavens...

Your granddaughter will be the next queen of the spirit world.

Please regard the two of us with open arms.

Go on, Ellen.

Nice to meet you. I'm Ellen.

To think my granddaughter is going to be the future spirit queen...

How wonderful!

Will you call me grandma?

Huh?

Is it really okay to get all familiar like that?

Maybe "Grandmother" would feel less rude?

Gra... Gra... Gra...

Grammie!

Did you hear that?!

Hey, did you catch that?!

My goodness, how adorable!

Truly, isn't she?! Lady Ellen is such a splendid, precious child!

Pawpaw...

Oh? Roren, you're having her call you pawpaw?

You've got good taste.

Precisely, milady!

When Lady Ellen calls me that, I feel so young again!

Ellen's rather popular.

Here, help yourself.

Dessert! I'm so excited!

Wait... They might still be testing me.

My, you've gotten all quiet. What's the matter?

Here, have some.

Most impressive. Is dining etiquette the same in the spirit world?

No, seeing as we spirits rarely eat.

Did you teach her table manners, dear?

No, I didn't teach her a thing.

My, even the way she eats is so adorable!

Ellen.

Here. Say, "Ah!"

Ah!

Mother! Feeding her is all well and good, but at this rate, you'll spoil her dinner.

Oh dear.

My, I'm sorry, Ellen.

But she looks just precious even when she's disappointed!

Sauvel, about moving forward... Shall I assist you on the business side?

If possible, I would like to refrain from joining the knights.

You're truly going to assist me?

Yes. Although I won't be able to live here, since I have Ori and Ellen.

Oh, is that so?

My powers are too great to stay here. They would affect the human world.

My power of harvest could easily turn this area into a forest.

My!

And what kind of spirit are you, Ellen? A flower perhaps?

It's okay.

I can control... elements.

Elements?

Um... Elements are the building blocks of matter.

There are countless combinations of them,

and most substances are made up of said combinations.

HUH?

Oh, shoot! How should I explain this?

Do you see this? It's charcoal.

But if I use my powers to change its crystal structure...

Here we are!

Oh, that's a diamond just like my ring.

That's right!

Charcoal turned into something this beautiful?

To be honest, I don't understand it myself.

It's difficult to explain spirit powers to humans, isn't it?

Does that mean you can freely produce minerals?

I can!

Here, some gold.

Brother, this is...

What do you think?

You can sell it if you want.

We mustn't, Ellen.

There'd be a huge uproar if we put something so rare out into the world.

Then we should just do this.

Here you go. For you, Grammie.

My!

Goodness...

Hey, Ellen, what are you going to do with that mountain of gold?

Oh...

You're making too much, sweetie.

I'll be careful from now on.

To make up for Agiel's squandering,

use this toward public funds to benefit the citizens.

It's yours.

Then that's what I shall do.

Oh, but it could put the marketplace in turmoil,

so it may be better to mix in some impurities before selling it.

Lady Ellen, are you certain you're all right with this?
