”I'm first~”
”Bow down, hurry hurry.”
”I'm taking the head. You get on the shoulders.”
”I'm head~”
The clamoring children mercilessly grabbed on Lecan, rode on his head and shoulders, clinging hard on Lecan with their arms wrapped tightly on him. The kid on the left couldn't cling on Lecan well with his small arms, so Lecan grabbed that kid with his big left hand.
The kid clinging on his head is slightly bigger than the other kids. Two other kids are clinging on Lecan's head on both sides.
”Our destination today is the stone steps at the temple's entrance!”
”Uncle, are you going to break god again?”
”How'd you know that.”
”I mean, everybody's talking about it.”
”I didn't break it because I wanted to.”
”Then why did you break it?”
”Simply because I was stronger, that god just broke by itself.”
”No uh, Lecan. That doesn't make sense at all.”
”This onee-chan. Uncle's lover?”
”Course not. Must be his daughter.”
”Did he kidnap her?”
”Kid-napper?”
”Keep it down! We're commencing the march!”
Lecan slowly walks forward with five children riding on him.
However, even though Lecan considered it slow, the children following him had to keep up the pace.
”Wolf Unit, march on~”
”Trample down all bad guys~”
”Trample down~”
”One, two. One, two.”
”All hands, march on.”
”Marckon~”
”Ou~”
”Ou~”
Eda was struck dumbfounded as she watched Lecan leading the children as a pack.
”He's a complete natural...”
Afterward, Lecan gave flowers to the girls.
Eda taught the girls how to play with thin strings to create animal and plant shapes.
Lecan amused the boy by playing a catch and throw with a big ball created from ivy.
The older kids came back before noon, then they took a nap together after having a meal together.
The vice temple head dropped by just when Lecan showed the children his skill at shooting down thrown nuts with <Flame Arrows>, he got scolded by her. The children cheered the vice temple head for being stronger than Lecan.
Lecan had a strong liquor when they got back home. Eda made some food.
”You really can cook.”
”Ehehe. Thanks.”
The dishes were simple and modest, but they tasted good.
”Huh?”
”What's wrong?”
”It was Shira-baachan who said I'm good at cooking.”
”She did.”
”Said she knew from seeing me do things in the campground.”
”Right.”
”But, I've never camped together with Shira-baachan, you know?”
”....”
”So then how would she know?”
”She must have heard it from Nike.”
”Ah, I see. That makes sense.”
”Must be it.”
”Wonder where Nike-san's at. I sure love to go on an adventure with her again.”
”Hope so.”
”Ehehehehe.”
