Grand Route Final: Chapter 7: Forever and Always End

"--sama!"

Several years have passed since the battle with the Demon King.

Now I'm living a happy life in the Trust territory.

At first, I was thinking of various possible outcomes in the world, such as managing a territory with Trust, traveling together, or becoming an adventurer.

Well, as I was pregnant, safety was a priority, so I decided to go the safe route of managing the territory.

Trust also has some experience as a nobleman and managing a territory.

Fortunately, we were able to secure cooperation from the city representative of Nerisford, and we began living a peaceful life like in the past.

"Onee-sama, where are you desu no?"

As I was spacing out, I heard that cute voice.

The voice's name is Ai-chan.

She is the daughter I gave birth to and she will be five years old this year.

Intelligent, kind, and the cutest daughter in the world, my and Trust's daughter.

"Ai-chan, this way."

After saying that, Ai-chan came running over.

A girl with cherry blossom-colored hair inherited from her mother and a slightly strong-willed look.

As soon as Ai-chan approached, she said:

"Brother-in-law... are you being spoiled by Onee-sama again desu no?"

...Trust was asleep on my lap.

He was sleeping peacefully, as if the battle had been a lie.

"Well, well. Trust-sama is busy with a lot of things, so please give him a break every once in a while."

"Even if you say that, if they find out, they'll get angry again desu no."

Now that Trust is good at getting things done, he's getting used to the lord's work.

So he doesn't get scolded for skipping work as often as he used to.

But, well, sometimes he get scolded.

It's about Trust, but there are a lot of difficulties involved.

By the way, I always protect Trust, so no matter what they say he just ignores it.

"In the first place, there's also the problem of the two of you disappearing regularly desu no."

That's... well.

As for where we disappeared to, we haven't left the mansion.

When this mansion was built, we simply built in hidden rooms and passageways.

No, it wasn't me who asked, it was Trust who asked.

Today we were just making out there as usual, but... well, we spent a fair amount of time hiding in the secret room.

Naturally, there are things you can do in that hidden room that you can't do outside.

A typical example would be confinement play.

We are enjoying the immoral play we experienced in another world.

The shape of the room is reproduced, creating a nice atmosphere.

Well, there's no way I could say something like that to Ai-chan, so I change the subject.

"That's true. But, Ai-chan, please be careful not to call me by the wrong name in front of everyone, okay?"

"I, I understand desu no."

Yes, this Ai-chan was born with the memories of the Ai-chan who fought alongside us in the previous world.

It's a little different, but she's a reincarnated person.

I gave birth to Ai-chan, and I realized it right away.

Ai-chan herself was quite surprised, but now she's happy to be my and Trust's daughter.

"...Once a habit has taken root in your mind, it's hard to shake it desu no."

When I died in battle, my body was reused by the enemy and an ego was born by chance.

That's Ai-chan.

Ai-chan used to say that I, the Holy Spirit, was the real one and that she was just a fake in disguise, but that's not the case now.

Not the Holy Spirit, nor the dead.

Both Ai-chan and I are alive and well.

That somehow makes me really happy.

"But even so, my brother-in-law... no, Otou-sama. He never wakes up desu no."

"It's a nice day today."

"Okaa-sama, look at Otou-sama's face closely. I'm sure he's actually just a perverted Hero who enjoys the feel of your thighs desu no."

Hmm, even though she's now my daughter, she still reacts harshly.

From Trust's perspective, this may seem like a bit of an early rebellious phase.

Well, both the Trust in that world and this one seem to be doing well with Ai-chan, so I think it'll be fine.

"Okaa-sama, please lend me your ear desu no."

When she said that, I listened.

I listen to Ai-chan's idea in a low, whispered voice.

It seems Ai-chan wants to expose the fact that Trust is pretending to be asleep.

There's no way I wouldn't realize something like that.

"So as I was asked to by my cute daughter."

I put my mouth close to Trust's ear as he slept.

And whispered gently.

"...If you wake up now, you'll have the right to kiss me."

Trust snaps his eyes open.

Naturally, Ai-chan looked shocked.

"Look, Okaa-sama. This is the kind of person he is desu no!"

The sight makes me smile unconsciously.

I can't put it into words, but I honestly felt that it was fun.

So I'll say this to Trust too.

"You didn't have to go along with Ai-chan, you know? I mean, you can kiss me as much as you want."

"Men aren't simple enough to just stay silent when the most beautiful wife in the world says that to them."

"Rather, he is just that simple desu no."

Ai-chan was as strict as ever.

However, without showing any sign of being bothered by her remark, Trust, who had been enjoying having his head on my lap while we were talking, stood up and turned to face me.

His lips came closer and I, his wife, accepted them.

"Hmm... chuu..."

He even put his tongue in there in the middle of the day.

The blood rushed to my cheeks and I was filled with embarrassment.

"I don't think it's right to put your tongue in front of a child desu no."

After a while, Trust stopped kissing me and pulled me close.

I was supported by a manly hand, my back pressed against a muscular shoulder.

Although it has been a long time since we retired from fighting, he shows no signs of slowing down.

I know that even though he's busy managing his territory, he still trains.

After giving birth to Ai-chan, we started exercising together, so it's only natural that I know him well.

"Sorry, Ai. Filia is all mine."

Well, it's not a metaphor or anything, I'm really Trust's property.

It's been many years since I got the lewd mark.

Fortunately, it has only ever been used for naughty purposes.

We've had some pretty nerdy sex, but as a former man, I understand.

...Well, that was pretty good too.

"Hehehe."

"Wh, what?"

"It's true that Onee-sama adores you from the bottom of her heart desu."

Yeah, there's no denying that.

I like him as a person and as a member of the opposite sex.

A bond that has been built over a long, long battle and will never fade.

And as an absolute, the pattern is still engraved on my lower abdomen.

"But I'm the only one she looks at with loving eyes as her daughter desu no!"

"What, you said...!"

I certainly don't see Trust that way.

In fact, if I saw him like that, I am crazy.

...Well, it's true that I look at Ai-chan with loving eyes.

In that world I treated her well as a little sister, and in this world I gave birth to her.

If I love Trust as a member of the opposite sex, as a lover or a husband and wife, then I love Ai-chan as a member of the same sex, as a sister or a daughter.

"Well, that's true for me too."

"Hey that is cheating? Onee-sama, he's finally revealed his true feelings desu no."

"That's not true. I mean that I think you're the cutest girl in the country."

"The part about being the best in the country is what bothers me desu no!"

"It can't be helped. Filia is number one in the world, so it's only natural that Ai should be number one in the country."

"As a father, you should just make me the cutest girl in the world desu no!"

My husband and daughter are arguing with each other.

We're a little different from a normal family, but being together makes me feel happy and at peace.

No matter what I do, I end up smiling for no reason.

"Filia, what's wrong?"

Trust asks, noticing that I'm laughing.

Ai-chan seems to be curious about it too.

"It's nothing. I just thought you were happy."

Then the two of them looked embarrassed.

Wow, this looks like a parent and child relationship.

No matter what, they are family.

Then she smiled... and Ai-chan's face turned a little gloomy before she said.

"Onee-sama... In that world, I took away your body's ability to give birth, and in this world, I have taken away the joy of raising a child desu no..."

...Is that what you were worried about?

I hug Ai-chan, who has a gloomy expression on her face.

She felt soft and had the distinctive smell of a small child.

"O-Onee-sama...?"

I stroke Ai-chan's back, who seems confused by the sudden hug.

Then her expression changed to one that seemed to say, "Oh well..."

...It's true that in the world where I became a Holy Spirit, I remained a spirit until the end, so I couldn't have children.

And the child born in this world was Ai-chan, so she was different from ordinary children.

However...

"I was so happy that the baby I gave birth to was Ai-chan."

"Is that so?"

"I know this might make people question my humanity, but just having children doesn't make me happy."

If I knew what the world was like when I was still a man, I wouldn't be able to live with such idealistic thoughts.

There are probably couples whose children cause a rift that cannot be repaired.

Sometimes, a hopeless scum can be born between pure, righteous, and kind parents.

Of course, she was born to me.

I want her to receive as much education as possible and to be kind.

At the very least, I don't want her to become the kind of person who can betray others and still feel at ease.

"Ai-chan is smart and kind... and a girl who can think about others."

"Onee-sama..."

"I named you that because I hoped I'd have a daughter like Ai-chan. Right, Trust-sama?"

"That's true. It doesn't feel right that Ai is the only one missing. It still feels strange that she's my daughter, though."

It's true that it might seem strange that she's our daughter.

Even now, it feels more natural to be called "Onee-sama" by her.

Of course, it would be problematic in terms of public image if my daughter called me Onee-sama, so she usually just call me normally in public.

"So you shouldn't worry about that sort of thing, okay?"

"...Yes desu no."

She nodded as if to say that he had some thoughts on the matter.

Ai-chan feels like the issue is still unresolved.

Well, what should I do?

I instinctively turned my gaze towards Trust, who nodded, seemingly understanding.

"That's right... wouldn't it be a good idea to give Ai a younger brother or sister soon?"

Trust muttered softly.

If this had been a normal child, they would have been happy or would have reacted differently, but Ai-chan knows how children are born.

So I can't say it's a big hit.

"...It's quite surprising desu no."

"What is it?"

"No, I just thought it would be normal for Onee-sama and brother-in-law to have more children by now."

Well...I guess Ai-chan would think that.

I hate to say it, but she know that in the world where I was the Holy Spirit, Trust and I were in communion every day and every night.

...Though we do that every day in this world too.

By the way, we still have Holy Spirit sex frequently.

Especially during pregnancy, we can't put any strain on the mother's body, so I astrally projected and had Trust and Holy Spirit sex.

Unlike the previous world, it's like a living ghost, so the advantage is that it can be done easily.

The lewd mark is engraved into my soul, so it's extremely effective in that case too.

Furthermore, it is the power of the lust mark that prevents me from getting pregnant even if we have sex every day and he ejaculates inside a lot.

If Trust orders me not to get pregnant, I won't get pregnant regardless of my wishes.

Well, I guess the reason we don't have a second child is because Trust is concerned about my health in his own way.

"That expression... is there something wrong desu no?"

I was noticed.

Yes, Ai-chan doesn't know about the lewd mark.

It's not like I was hiding it or anything, but with Ai-chan's character, if she found out that Trust was carving such an inhumane thing on me, she would be giving him a very long and harsh lecture.

I think that in the end, no matter what, I will just sigh and turn a blind eye.

However, I don't want to see Trust being scolded, so I'll follow up.

"Well... I heard that raising a child is hard, so I was using good birth control."

"Even though you've become a noble desu no?"

Damn... As expected of Ai-chan.

It's a reasonable and sensible response.

That's true. If you become a noble, having a successor is important.

She probably think that there's no harm in having as many children as possible successors.

"It's not just our bodies that confirm our feelings."

"Even if you say something like that now, it'll just seem insincere desu no..."

Well, Ai-chan know about and what we usually do behind her.

I don't deny that.

I also like doing naughty things with Trust.

"...I won't pursue this any further desu no."

Yeah, I understand.

I guess she will look into it even if she doesn't pursue it.

It's only a matter of time before the lewd mark is discovered.

It's not like I'm hiding it in the first place.

"Now that I think of it, brother-in... no, Otou-sama. You were called away for work."

"I should have already finished today's work..."

Apparently Ai-chan's purpose in coming here was to call Trust.

"I wanted to spend more time with Filia, but it can't be helped."

Trust said as he stood up and reached out his hand to help me up.

And so, naturally, our hands... Trust and I took Ai-chan's hand, and the three of us started walking as usual.

"By the way, Otou-sama, I think there is room for improvement in this territory desu."

"If I increase the amount of work unnecessarily, the time I can spend with Filia will decrease..."

"What are you talking about! The world is still in turmoil. Our enemies are not just demons and monsters. In order to protect Okaa-sama, it is imperative for you as a feudal lord to strengthen our territory desu no."

It's true that not all people are good people.

There are people who betray others for their own gain, and there are people who take pleasure in taking a life.

It is the lord's duty to protect his subjects from such people.

In short, you can't just do fun things all the time.

"Okaa-sama please scold him too. That will be the most effective desu no."

"Eh? Um... Trust-sama, do your best. But don't push yourself too hard, okay?"

"Y-yes! I'll create a territory where Filia and Ai can live happily!"

Trust is motivated by the support of his wife and daughter.

Looking at us, Ai-chan said curiously.

"...I've been wondering for a while now, but why does Okaa-sama call Otou-sama with "sama"?"

"Eh? Oh, that's right..."

I call Trust with Trust-sama.

At best, like a married couple, we could just call each other "Darling/Honey"

Even though in my heart I call him by his first name... why is that?

It's a little late now, but it does seem a bit formal.

"Then let's try it..."

In life there will be hardships and suffering.

However, even in times like those, we were able to support each other and get to where we are today.

So... it's okay now.

I can move forward believing in tomorrow.

"I love you, Trust."

Always and forever...

Thank you for reading this far.

The Grand Route is complete.

Not immediately, but I plan to write some extras in the future.

So I'll leave it as completed until I have something more substantial.

Thank you very much for reading this far.
