Chapter 162: Snow reunites with her parents



Snow and her parents, who had been reunited for the first time in over ten years, cried a lot and didn’t separate from each other after a long time.

Snow wiped away her tears and talked to her parents again.

"But why are mom and dad here?"

"We had been sheltering in the White Wolf Village for about two years, and then one of the advance troops came back to the village and said, ‘Your daughter Snow has come to look for her parents.'"

According to Snow's mother, only some of the white wolves knew their circumstances.

The leader who led the current advance party was one of those few people. For that reason, he sent a messenger to the village to inform the two of them of the situation.

It was a lovely performance.

Snow was convinced. She wiped her tears with a handkerchief and smiled as she introduced us to her parents.

"If I can meet my father and mother, I'll be full… Ups! I want to talk about something, but first, let me introduce you to my loved ones!"

She raised her left arm over her face to show off to her parents.

“This is my husband, Lute-kun! And this is Chris-chan, and this is Liz-chan.

Snow introduced us while wagging her tail. I followed her words.

“I am Lute Gunsmith, I was awarded an honorary knighthood by the High Elf Kingdom, Enor, and their King. I am also the representative of the Legion Peace Maker.”

I placed my right hand on my chest, my left hand on my back, and lowered my head. Chris and Liz followed suit.

[My name is Chris Gunsmith of the Demon Race, the Vampire Race. I'm my brother's wife together with my sister Snow.]

"I am pleased to meet you for the first time. My name is Liz Gunsmith of the High Elf tribe of the Fairy Race. Although I am incompetent, I stand side by side with Miss Snow. It is a great pleasure to meet Snow's parents. It's an honor."

Chris held out a mini blackboard, while Liz, like me, put her right hand on her chest, and since she was not wearing a skirt, she placed her left hand behind her back and bowed lightly.

After the wives' greetings were over, Snow's parents changed their complexion. Both had pale faces and gasped.

Polygamy was common in this world. This is not unusual. But did the parents still hate it when their daughter was counted as one of the wives?

Shia greeted them indifferently whether she noticed the change in their complexion or not.

“My name is Shia of the black elf tribe, and I am taking care of the wives.”

And of course, there was the girl who liked to decorate the bird.

“Nice to meet you, Miss. Snow’s parents! I am lord Lute’s number one disciple and his right-hand man and confidant!"

"Thank you for greeting me politely, I am a Coola of the beast race, the white wolf tribe. Regards"

“I am Allil of the beast race, white wolf race. My daughter is …… I'm indebted to you."

She was at a loss when it comes to the word "daughter". She put her in an orphanage and left her alone. I guess her nerves weren't strong enough to obediently say "daughter".

Snow's father, Coola, opened his mouth to stop the place from falling silent.

“Excuse me, but, speaking of the Dragon Continent; is Meiya Dragoon ´the Magic Stone princess, that developed the ‘Rainbow sword’ and the ‘Magic Concentration Filling Method’?”

"Yes, you know me very well."

"I because we have been in the Dragon Man continent. It is impossible not to know "Meiya Dragoon", the genius magic tool developer, the Magic Stone Princess. She's a celebrity who would know that she's a baby."

"Thank you, but my talent is garbage in front of Lord Lute… No, it's synonymous with non-existent. It’s Zero"

Snow's father looked at me with admiring eyes unlike before.

"I never thought that he would be praised so much for making Meiya Dragoon his apprentice…"

"No, it's not a big deal, just her exaggeration."

"I will be humble for the time being."

Amid such an exchange, Am, the son of the lord, interrupted.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Snow's parents, father-in-law, and mother-in-law! I apologize for the delay in greeting you. My name is Am Nolte Boden Smith."

"!? That's right you…"

Snow's father, Coola's muttering leaked out.

Am continued.

“I heard from Miss Ice about the details of the strategy the white wolves are planning to do. I think it’s a very effective method. But I thought it would be difficult to keep it from getting out of hand… So, I'm thinking of accepting her as my legal wife, not as a concubine from the White Wolf Tribe. No matter how much he is a father, it will be difficult to treat badly the family of the legal wife of the successor."

Snow's parents were convinced by his persuasion. And Am finally dropped the bomb.

"Therefore, to strengthen our relationship with the White Wolf Tribe, I am thinking of accepting Miss Snow as Am Norte Borden Smith's legal wife!"

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaah, my god! Hey! You! you're kidding me!”

Even in front of Snow's parents, I yelled.

After all, this guy said that he would make a married woman Snow his legal wife in front of me, the husband. I couldn’t keep quiet.

Ice was excited that she could become the right wife of the person she had always been in love with.  She emitted a dark sludge-like air from her whole body as if she has been plunged from heaven to hell.

It was just too pathetic! Raise and drop! For her sake, I had to protest again and again.

"Snow is my wife! Who will give it to you!"

"That's right! I'm Lute's wife! I have no intention of marrying anyone other than Lute!"

Even in the face of criticism from Snow and me, Am didn't lose his composure. He ruffled his bangs in a snobbish way.

"Yes, you may be Mr. Lute's wife now, but if I become Miss Snow's husband, I won't take any other wife! I swear to my parents that I will continue to love her alone for the rest of my life!"

He speaks proudly as if it were a set line from a stage actor.

This guy's mental strength must be too strong… Isn't it made of steel?

Hearing his absurd words, not only me and Snow, but Ice also let out an air of resentment from all over his body, and Chris and the others turned their astonished gazes at Am.

However, when it comes to Snow’s parents…

“Snow will become Lord Am’s legal wife…”

Snow's mother Allil muttered with a practically non-existent voice. Coola, the father, also had a positive atmosphere from his attitude. Their reaction was as if Am was more suitable as Snow's husband than I was.

While I was stunned by Snow's parents' attitude, Am came to my side…

"Looks like the second match, ‘who Miss Snow's Parents Like', is my win." He muttered in a winner's voice.

(My opponent is the eldest son of an upper-class noble, even though he's from the North Continent. I'm an honorary noble of the High Elf Kingdom… I hate to say it, but I'm an upstart. On top of that, I have a wife other than Snow. Her parents didn't like that, do they?)

For the time being, I was concerned about Snow and her parents who met again after a long time, so we broke up.

The medium-sized igloo was spacious enough for the three, two parents and a child, to spend time together. The parents and the child reunited for the first time in more than 10 years and faced each other.

In front of the three of them was a fragrant tea filled with mysterious fruit jam in the Northern Continent style, and white steam raised.

Snow's father, Coola, told her the story she wanted to know the most: why they left Snow in front of the orphanage.

“Several decades ago, we left the village of the white wolf clan and decided to serve the now-defunct nation of Kesran on the continent of demons.”

The reason was that their lives were saved by the man who would become the next king. This was to repay the favor.

Kesran was a small country in the northern plains of the Demon Continent, with only history and tradition as its merits.

For that reason, it seems that the two B+ Class magicians were given preferential treatment in Kesran.

Then she got pregnant and gave birth to Snow.

However, at that time, Kesran was at war against the Kingdom of Mertia, which is still the most powerful country on the continent of monsters. By the way, Lute and Snow’s orphanage is also part of the Kingdom of Mertia.

Snow asked reluctantly.

"Why did Kesran such a small country go to war against such a large country? Anyone can understand that they will lose…"

“The Kingdom of Mertia launched a war unilaterally. The external reason was to ‘reclaim the territory of the Kingdom of Mertia.'"

"External? I mean, is there another real reason?"

Snow’s parents look bitter. Snow's mother Allil answered.

"Since we were only guests, we don't know the details. I'm sorry."

Coola continued the story.

The great Mertia vs. the small Kesran, the victory or defeat was clearer than looking at the fire.

Coola and the others escaped from the country just before the Mertia Kingdom soldiers rushed to the royal palace.

Instead of fleeing to the North Continent, Coola and the others crossed the Demon Continent and escaped to the Beast Continent. Their strategy was successful, and they safely broke through the security net laid by the Mertia Kingdom.

However, there was no way they could escape with the newborn Snow. So, on a winter day, they had no choice but to leave her in front of the orphanage as they passed by.

Dressed in clothes with her name, Snow, embroidered on them, along with a little money.

Allil took her daughter's hand.

"The name Snow comes from ‘Snow White,' which only blooms in the northern continent. It blooms powerfully even in the cold snowy world… We want you to live powerfully, beautifully, and nobly like such a flower. Our wish. No, I'm happy that you grew up to be more splendid than I wished."

"Mom…"

Mother and daughter’s eyes moistened after a quick bite.

After leaving Snow at the orphanage, they were immediately pursued by Mertia soldiers.

If they had not left Snow, they wouldn't have been able to escape the pursuit, and it seems that she might have been captured and killed along with her parents.

Coola and Allil arrived at the Beast Continent as planned. However, King Mertia relentlessly drove them away.

The two wanted people fled from the Beast Continent, the Monster Continent, the Dragon Continent, and the Demon Continent, before fleeing to the North Continent about two years ago. And then, relying on their clan, they settle in the White Wolf village.

“Regardless of the reason, it’s our fault that we left Snow behind, and we couldn’t pick her up until now. We don't want to be blamed, resented, or hated… But believe me. We've never forgotten Snow."

"As your father said, I never forgot. I loved you."

“It’s okay, father, and mother, I don’t hold a grudge against you two. I was able to meet Teacher Elle and many people because I was in the orphanage. I was very happy to be able to do this. So, I don't hold a grudge against you two."

Snow smiled when she learned that the reason, they couldn't come to pick her up was that her parents were being chased. And then, wiping away the tears shining in her eyes, she continued her words bravely.

"Then it's my turn next. I'll tell your father and mother how I've lived up until now."

So, Snow talked about her upbringing. She talked about her life at the orphanage, memories with Lute, magic school, meeting Chris, Liz, Shia, Meiya, members of the New Pure Maiden Knight Order, and so on.

Snow's parents continued to listen to the story with smiles instead of tears. They were happy that her daughter lived happily until now, not unhappy, as she said.

The pleasant conversation between parent and child continued until late at night.
