I tried to change "Dad" to "Daddy" and "Mom" to "Mommy". many people say this feel more natural for kid.

The Lowen region where I live.

Formerly, There was a country called the Lowen Kingdom, but now it's became part of the [Neue - Miradin Empire].

The former royal family became a duke's house and was leave in charge of rulling the land.

And that was a story when I used to be an ordinary magician, a hundreds of years ago.

When the former royal family was demoted from the royal family to the duke family, there was a dispute, but that was a long time ago. Currently, it's only a peaceful region.

By the way, the reason I constructed the mansion in this place was nothing more than a whim, and it seemed that it was far from the Imperial Capital and unrelated to the Imperial Capital's conspiracy and noise.

Therefore, this was the first time in decades to leave for the Imperial City.

.

Chloe quickly begin preparing for the trip, she prepared a horse and procured the carriage.

From where did she get her hands on it?

I tried to ask.

"I procured it from the village. I also paid the money properly, you know."

"I don't know there's was such money left."

"That's because master always wastes money."

Chloe lightly chuckles, then explains the reasons.

"Master always spends a lot of money on useless research every day, That's why in return, Chloe manages it, you know."

"Don't say useless. You were born thanks of that research."

“Yes, that's right. I'm grateful of that”

If I didn't create the psuedo philosopher's stone, instead a mechanical doll, she would just be a doll, and she wouldn't have this kind of feeling, and I didn't need to slap her impudent mouth.

"But still, the way master spends his research money is abnormal. If Chloe wasn't there, master would have gone bankrupt long ago."

Anyway, while I was spending money for research like hot water, Chloe seems to have sold away what seems to be profitable from research's results, and it seems she saved the money, invested it, and made profit.

It seems that the household budget of our family seems to be barely around due to Chloe's investment and savings, and it's not like we can afford to use it carelessly.

"In that case, will you sell a machine doll-girl, which is rare in the world? I heard the nobles will buy it for a high price."

I jokingly said, but Chloe's eyes weren't laughing.

I look at her with a pale face.

while trying to play it off by lightly coughing.

"That's right, Because we have one more family member to support. I shall refrain doing research for a while"

Saying so, I tried to ease her mood.

Chloe then joked back, "Chloe will not expect it. If research is taken away from Kite-sama, nothing will remain."

Meanwhile, Fiona was enthusiastic about her first carriage's ride.

She points to the view from outside the carriage.

Daddy, what's that?

Daddy, who's that person?

Daddy, where is this thing going to?

Each time she ask, I'd answer.

"That's a windmill. It uses the power of the wind to grind wheat, and thanks to it Fiona can eat white bread everyday, you know."

"That person is a farmer. Thanks to him we can get wheat . Before this I did told you that wheat becomes bread right."

Fiona shook her golden hair and nodded each time. It seems that this world is full of things that she does not know.

Of course, I have taught her various knowledge, but it is far more accurate to actually see it with her own eyes and touch it with her own hands rather than to learn it from books and hearings.

It's not really a rushing trip.

So, every time Fiona have question, we stopped, explained, and sometimes made her experienced it.

'How do you use the power of the wind to grind wheat in a windmill hut?'

'How is wheat planted in the ground?'

'What kind of work is a farmer?

I taught her. And answer the last question my daughter asked.

"This carriage is heading to the Imperial Capital."

"Te - to?" (帝都 - Teito)

"It means the capital of the empire. It is the capital where His Majesty the Emperor lives."

"Kouteheika?" (皇帝陛下 - Koutei Heika)

"Well, he's the greatest person in this country."

"More than daddy?"

"Yup"

"Stronger than daddy?"

"Weaker"

"That's good, then we can defeat him!"

"No, we're not. It's not like we come to pick a fight. Or rather, to defeat, to not defeat, where did you learn such words?"

Fiona points to Chloe.

Then Chloe turn her sight to avoid it.

Chloe try to make excuses.

"I think Fiona-sama naturally remembered those words when she wanted me to read a picture book about adventure and action."

"Is that right? Fiona"

"Yup, Fiona, love books that has a mages in it!"

Defeat the enemy 'Do-kaan~' with magic.

She casts spells as if imitating a mage.

Of course, young children cannot cast magic.

Well, I may have to pay more attention to her emotional education in childhood.

"But master. they says child grows up by looking at they're parents' backs. Since the parents are Sage, isn't it natural to have them read a book featuring a mages?"

"As I said before, I don't want her to be a mage or a sage."

"But you don't want to send her as a wife, too?"

"Beside, it's not like there's only two occupation in this world"

There are countless options other than magic and marriage.

Which is better from among them.

No, I am as happy as a parent if the profession that were chosen will makes my daughter happy.

I mean, I didn't need anything else beside that.

While i'm thinking like that, Chloe said

"Then, let's read her various stories from now on."

voicing her though.

"Thank you for doing so."

Then, Chloe pointed in the distance. And said

we can meet as many requests as you want for picture books, but there are things that Chloe cannot do. It seems that battles are taking place far from here, a few kilometers away. What will you do, Kite-sama?

Chloe flashes her eyes.

The eyes made by crushing crystals and putting magic power into them, can see images several kilometers away without using magic. She seems to be the first one to detect a battle taking place in the distance.

"Even if you ask me what to do"

Just as I said something about Emotional education, ignoring a troubled person died is not really a good thing.

If this was before Fiona come to us, I would have 99% ignored it.

I mutter quietly so that Fiona can't hear it.

The maid's Chloe already have interpreted affirmatively. Then I whip the horse.

"In short, we're going to help, right?"

"I guess"

"As expected of master, I fell in love again"

Fiona also agrees with "Daddy cool!".

"But I don't want Fiona to be in danger. I'm the only one who fights. You and Fiona should never leave the carriage."

"I understand. Chloe is a maid in the first place. I have never lift anything heavier than an iron cage."

"You know the cages for Wyvern weigh more than a hundred kilos right."

Is what I want to say, but stopped.

Because I arrived at the battlefield without the time to say such sarcasm.

There were two ogres and dozen of goblins.

Some of them have fallen down, it's probably after the battle has already taken place.

Fortunately the human's side still has no victim, but, that's will not last forever.

It's clear that the human's side is struggling and being pushed back.

As I began to split beween the humans and demons, I said.

"I come to help"

In the human-side, the person who seem to be the commander of the escort thanked me.

While receiving his gratitude, I began to put magic power into the staff.

This is the first battle in a long time.

Of course, I won't let myself lose to the like of Ogre and Goblins.

However, I was a little worried. Usually, I rarely collaborate with others while fighting.
