I don't know when it started. When did he start living in my heart?

I miss him.

I miss him.

I feel safe when he is near me.

I feel happy when he smiles at me.

I want to be with you always.

If I can't do that, then I need some kind of connection.

And the connection I sought was with .

He taught me in a kind, detailed, and careful way. Thanks to him, I am probably one of the best now.

I want to be useful.

I want to help.

And I learned .

I tried my best. Thanks to you, I can use it at the highest level.

But it's not enough.

Just as he is an irreplaceable man to me.

I want to be an irreplaceable woman for her.

Tomorrow.

I wonder if something will change.

I have a daughter, but I am not married.

I am not married, though I have a daughter.

I have been a comfort to a noble man, had a daughter, and was barely allowed to stay by his side as his maid of honor after he almost took her away from me.

So I did not want my daughter to suffer that fate.

I wanted my daughter to have a happy married life ...... even though I couldn't.

Tomorrow, my daughter is getting married.

Her boyfriend is a man from another world.

It has been a little over a year since we met.

My first impression was that he was an unreliable boy. At the time, I didn't know he was from another world.

When I asked him how old he was, he told me he was already 20 years old. He looks younger than his age, which seems to be a characteristic of his homeland.

Therefore, I decided to regard him as a instead of a , but my impression that he was unreliable did not change.

As an engineer, he is said to be superior to the young man of noble birth who is the head of our group, but his words and actions are indecisive and he seems unfamiliar to the world.

Therefore, I nailed him to stay away from my daughter and not to be too familiar with her.

The butler who accompanied me blamed me, but I did not regret it because I was trying to protect my beloved daughter.

However, my judgment was wrong.

The day I learned that my daughter was going to be forced into a marriage that I did not like, by order of my parents' family.

When we ran away together, she was kidnapped by a group called the Unification Party (Unifiler), and I was mortally wounded.

The person who saved us was a young man who seemed unreliable.

He took us away to a place of paradise.

By that time, the blackness in me was gone and I could look at him with an open mind.

He seemed indecisive because he was kind.

He seemed unfamiliar because he came from another world.

And he was far from unreliable. He has the power to conquer or even destroy the world.

But he does not wield his power carelessly. He is merciless to the enemies of the world, but kind to his friends and acquaintances.

He and my daughter became good friends.

At first they were like brother and sister, but gradually it became more intimate.

He gradually became more and more prominent and even allowed her to return to her homeland.

He also helped me to resolve the friction with my parents' family. I cannot thank him enough.

From that time on, the two of us started going out together here and there.

However, it did not mean that they became man-woman relationship.

I wonder if his daughter is a sister to him.　I wonder if my daughter is to him.

That makes me a little worried about my daughter's future.

Before he knew it, his daughter had grown up to be a first-rate magical engineer. She has even become a court-appointed healer (Reichsartz).

This was all thanks to him.

Since then, the two of them seemed to have grown a little closer.

By the way, he has many female acquaintances.

One might think that he is a womanizer, but it seems that he is not. We can be assured of that.

My daughter and he finally got engaged.

He chose my daughter. I am honestly happy now.

Now I understand. He wants a family because of his loneliness.

I wonder if his daughter could fill the void in his heart.

Tomorrow, his daughter will be married.

I wish only one thing. Be happy.

* * * *

Tomorrow is the wedding.

Marriage. Marriage. A celebration.

I will take to wife a girl who is aptly described as lovely.

I will take a woman from this world as my mate.

I will have a family of my own.

I, who grew up without knowing the true meaning of family, will have a family.

I am not sure if I can do it.

I wonder if I will unknowingly make some mistake and destroy my <>.

Will I make that lovely girl unhappy?

Negative thoughts swirl in my head.

"Father, it will be all right.

A dignified voice echoed in the room.

The voice comes from the girl who is the world's best and strongest automata.

"Is that so? ......

"Yes. It's important to reflect on yourself.

But if you fail...

But if you fail, you can always try not to fail again.

Yes, ...... that's right.

The words of the girl who is my beloved daughter, the girl I created, seep into my heart.

"Yes, I will do my best to help you.

The sound of her voice seems to blow away any gloomy thoughts.

Tomorrow will surely be better than today.

"I hope so."

Whatever happens, I'll get through it. I will make the girl I love happy. No, we will be happy together.

The eve of their wedding day passed with such determination in their hearts.
