Elf K’s status hadn’t changed much since the last time I saw her, but looking at her made memories flood into my head.

It was on my 53rd year in the world of Fantasy.

At the request of Elf K, I spent a hot night with her. And in the morning, I met Health Teacher.

“Have you seen the children?”

“Yes, they are sleeping.”

“Is that so… Oh! Come here. There is even room for the Hero. It’s slightly worse than the S-grade apartment provided by the school, but I have tried to furnish it in a way that you would experience as little convenience as possible.”

“Hmm.”

I didn’t hesitate to enter the room.

My portrait was hung on the wall, where I was depicted with a pretty smile on my face.

… I was the Righteous Hero. I would never smile like Sieg.

However, its interior was generally cozy.

“Do you like it?”

“In a way…”

“That’s great to hear. Um… Can I take your hand?”

“Do what you want.”

Elf K grabbed my left hand with both of her hands and pressed it against her cheek.

By this time, I could no longer deny this fact.

The two elven girls who killed Noebius carried not only Elf K’s blood but mine as well.

My God! So my kids killed my best friend?

I still didn’t know why they did it, but Noebius was still one of the Five Great Disasters. It wasn’t surprising that there were still people hunting him.

I fought him myself, so I couldn’t blame my kids.

“Elves are a race used to waiting, but 161 years is still a long time for me. I just hugged your hand, but my heart immediately fluttered with joy.”

“… I didn’t know you were so attached to me.”

I analyzed this objectively.

Elf K couldn’t love me as a man.

She would be grateful to any man who saved her from the dungeon of angels.

Feelings of gratitude could turn into love, but this was just being impulsive.

It was the same as how I liked Lanuvel at first, who I really thought was cute in the early days of the first round.

I would understand if she obsessed over me for a while.

But 161 years…

Her feelings were now difficult to label as impulsive or simple. Perhaps the key factor that contributed to its worsening was our two children.

“I am very grateful to the Hero for visiting me. Selenis and Selvenus are good kids!”

“… What’s your name?”

I tended to give simple nicknames to dummies that didn’t matter to me.

I came up with this method in my 1st round after numerous losses and defeats.

I shouldn’t get close to someone.

Fugitive Senior tried to get closer to all the beauties he met, which wasn’t unnecessary, but I wasn’t so omnivorous.

Connections made one weaker.

Although I was prepared to make sacrifices, that was because I had nothing to sacrifice.

With nothing to lose, I became this strong.

“Thalea Alborea.”

“… I see.”

Asking her name after so long made me feel uncomfortable, so I started looking around the room, trying to avoid her gaze.

“My name is Thalea, and Alborea’s the name my father gave to my mother, who used to be a nameless slave.”

“Did you inherit it?”

“Yes. She lived her entire life looking only at my father and died because she used too much divine power to protect him.”

“Elfheim was lucky.”

In Fantasy, it was natural for a strong male to have a large number of females, and conversely, a strong female could have a large number of males, like a queen bee.

However, all of that deplorable Elf’s wives were powerful.

His first wife possessed divine power, the second was a sinister shaman, and the third was a bodyguard and assassin.

He had an interesting love history.

“But I started using my mother’s name quite recently, perhaps around 160 years ago.”

“Hmm? Yes, quite recent…”

I forgot. The elf before me, pretending to be a young maiden, was actually an ancient relic.

160 years for her was a short period of time.

“I prayed every day for safe delivery, knowing that a new life was born in me. I’m happy God actually answered my prayers.”

[Elf]

Now it was clear where the twins got that divine power.

The apparition of an elven woman hovered behind Thalea.

I knew who it was.

Alborea.

She was the first wife of the pathetic Elf King and mother of Thalea.

“She protects my children and me. Such is the power of the concept stating that an elf with eternal life will always care for her descendants. Naturally, I will be the payment for it. When my two daughters become mothers, I will become their guardian.”

“Interesting.”

Sitting on the soft bed, I waved my hand to Hanjo, signaling her to leave.

Immediately, her imagination flared up, causing her to hurry out of the room as her face turned red.

“I’ll scout the perimeters for now!”

“Don’t imagine anything strange.”

“I wasn’t going to!”

“Don’t even dare.”

Whatever she was imagining was exactly what was about to happen.

***

At that time, I was careless.

Since I was a spirit that couldn’t interbreed with other races, and Thalea was a royal elf with a very low chance of getting pregnant, I decided that one night with her wouldn’t hurt.

The results stated otherwise.

Twins, no less…

The most absurd miracle happened, and there was no way I could have predicted it. It was hard to believe, even if it was because of someone else’s interference.

Therefore, now I always use the “ring of luck.”

“What a disgusting ring.”

“It’s very important.”

“But I liked it anyway.”

“…”

Grinning, Thalea helped me dress, and I went downstairs.

“Hoohoohoo~♪”

The hum I heard made me feel uncomfortable so early in the morning.”

“Why are you so happy?”

“Ah! Hero. Today is a lucky day!”

“Is that so.”

Elfheim was in the kitchen, wearing an apron and a joyful expression.

Cutting something on the counter, he smiled. “Do you want to ask why?”

“No.”

“Haha! Brave Hero, don’t be shy. On this day, two of my granddaughters were born!”

“I see.”

“Do you remember what I told you in the past?”

“No.”

“I told you my dream about the greatest elf queen being born with a broad soul and body and saving the elf race and leading the lowly elven race members. As soon as I woke up back then, I felt like eating salmon, just like today. I remember thinking that was a sign that I would become a good grandfather. And I did.”

“Ah, there was something like that.”

There weren’t many grandfathers in the world who woke up early in the morning to cook salmon for their granddaughters.

“So you do remember.”

“Then you said that you would put your granddaughter on your lap and do something strange.”

“Not strange. I told you that I’d tell my granddaughters that the elves all over the world whispered their names on the day they were born, and it actually happened as fate dictated. Stories like that can help children develop self-esteem.”

“Oh yeah.”

“Haha! My daily life has been full of happiness lately. As I told you before, civil service candidates must first state my granddaughters’ names, Selenis and Selvenus, as part of the oral test before they can be admitted.”

“You really did it!”

The elves who completely trusted this pathetic guy and somehow still survived to this day were truly amazing.

Or were other elves too incompetent?

In any case, this was beyond my understanding.

“Two children are truly a miracle. And they’re already larger than their mother’s. I’m talking about their unripe fruits in the garden. Do you know what’s even more amazing? I don’t know why, but the seeds planted in the garden are pure, not mixed!”

“… Call things by their proper names.”

“We have to be careful. Once, when I was walking down the road, holding my granddaughters’ hands, I got distracted by huge fruits. Because of that, I had to listen to the twins’ scolding. As soon as I saw their expressions, I felt like all the fruits in the world fell from their branches. It made me wonder if this is what the end of the world would look like when it comes.”

Rolling my eyes, I sat down at the table.

“Grandpa~ I’m hungry~”

“Grandpa! Me too! Me too!”

Two girls appeared in the kitchen. They looked a little like their mother, not taking into account what was below their necks.

“Hmm?”

“Ah?”

Our gazes met.

Although they were twins, it wasn’t difficult to tell them apart.

I recognized their vertebrae.

The girl whose cervical spine resembled mine was Selenis, the eldest, and the girl whose lumbar spine resembled mine was Selvenus, the youngest.

They were also examining me.

[Retribution]

[Sister]

[Elf]

And they gradually increased the level of their strength.

I wanted to grab their spine and have a serious talk, as was the case with Haris, but there were two of them.

Plus, their Retribution bothered me.

The power that destroyed Noebius was a threat to me too.

I was unlikely to lose, but fighting them would make it difficult to keep my promise not to destroy the planet.

Besides, I was now trying to find Lanuvel.

I had to be in great shape until I could touch that bitch’s spine.

“I heard you defeated Noebius?”

“Blackie?”

“Blackie?”

… I didn’t think there would ever be an elf who could address the Supreme Dragon of Oblivion Noebius, the symbol of intimidation and strength, using such a nickname.

But that wasn’t bad at all.

It was quite logical that the Righteous Hero had such brave daughters!

“Could you tell me why you defeated Blackie?”

“He attacked our teacher.”

“He molested our teacher.”

Both children answered at the same time.

“Teacher?”

“They’re talking about me… Kh?!”

My hand immediately responded to the voice that came from behind me.

Health Teacher.

“Teacher?!”

“Teacher?!”

Two surprised children jumped up from the table. However, they were in no hurry because they were afraid that the teacher would be injured.

Were they talking about her?

She was the one who gave me my lucky ring.

She said she would become my personal teacher if the faculty members made a mistake.

“At least announce your appearance first.”

I slowly loosened my grip on her neck.

“Oh… I thought you’d notice, but it seems to me you’re too focused on your daughters.”

“… Why are you here?”

“I’m keeping my promise to you, Kang Han Soo. You don’t need my training, so I’m taking care of your children instead. I was the one who cut the umbilical cords of Selenis and Selvenus.”

“Ah!”

It seems that I was subconsciously prejudiced because of Teacher Morals.

Mathematics, History, Chemistry, Biology, Physical Education, Gardening, Sociology, Swimming, Home Economics, Art, Music, Geography, Acting…

Not all teachers were stupid.

But because of the likes of Teacher Morals, I despised them all.

“Selenis, Selvenus, say hello. He’s your father that you’ve wanted to meet for so long.”

“Dad?”

“Dad?”

Did Thalea and Health Teacher talk about me often?

My daughters didn’t seem very surprised.

“Feel free to say hello to him!”

“Ah, hello.”

“Good morning…”

They straightened their backs and smiled brightly at me.

I decided to reciprocate, showing my Righteous Hero’s smile.

“I’m happy that I finally met you two. It’s late, but I’m glad you were born so healthy.”

I was satisfied.

They inherited more than just my spine.

I heard Health Teacher sigh.

“I can’t correct that smile of theirs…”

Why correct it? Wasn’t it cute?

These were the perfect smiles of my Good-Postured Righteous Twins.
