The first to react was Ethan's father. He is a tall and well-built man, who like Ethan, has light brown hair and eyes. However, Ethan did not inherit his extraordinary physique from her. Maybe because his father was lazy when Ethan was born ... Anyway, he's not anymore. Having been a professional trained for fifteen years, he now has a body that will make most forty-year-old men jealous.
"Hey, who said you could .." said Ethan's father and then stopped when he recognized his son. Ethan's?
As Michael muttered that name, the others also looked towards the door. Evelyn, Ethan's mother, also soon recognizes her son. Despite being the mother of two children, she still looked like she was at her peak, but her beautiful face immediately cried. Her surprise was so great that she started crying right in front of the table. Hannah, Ethan's older sister, just crossed her arms and showed a serious expression. Like Ethan who is very similar to his father, except for his height, Hannah looks like a mirror image of his mother. Both are blond and have blue eyes. The only difference was that her mother liked her short hair, and Hannah liked her long hair.
Amidst the confusion, a stranger dressed as a noble in some kind of Medieval game waves his hand at Ethan. However, it did not make his wrinkles disappear. He was very handsome in Ethan's eyes, although he had never seen a man with such red hair and yellow eyes.
Ethan! Michael howling. "Where Are You? Stupidhead! "
As if he was a bull, Michael charged towards Ethan and then readied his right hand to cut off his son's head. However, Ethan moves faster and avoids the blow by jumping back in summer attacks. Somehow, Ethan managed to do that. Even though she had the same body, she had one year ago. However, his legs were left trembling. His body was currently too weak for that.
Oh? Michael shows a gloom that only makes Ethan feel at home. “You dare avoid punishment from your parents? Even though you're making us anxious? ”
"I'm sorry about that, Dad," Ethan forced a smile. “There is a reason for that, so.. let's stop messing around.”.
“Don't give me a reason!” Michael shouted again. “Receive this light punishment like a man. Otherwise, I'm not going to let you touch your game for the rest of the summer vacation. "
It was something that his father had often told Ethan in the past. It also made her feel as if she was actually returning home, but it was less of a threat. Michael tries to hit Ethan on the head with a cut many times, but he fails to do so. As he is a man of great physical strength, he follows Ethan across the park for a few minutes. Everyone watched the three for quite a while, but after ten minutes or so, they could not help but frown. Even Michael inevitably showed a worried expression when he saw Ethan running away, pale like a ghost and sweaty bullets. He was exhausted, but he refused to let his father beat him. Michael had never hit him with real force before, so there was no reason for him to act like one.
“Darling, let's stop this,” Evelyn said, showing a faint smile as her cries drained a lot of energy from her. Ethan is finally back, so let's enjoy this moment and think about it later.
"Yes, you're right" said Michael while watching Ethan, who was sweating. “It looks like I'm a little late to say this, but.. Welcome back, Ethan.”.
"I'm home, Dad," said Ethan.
Ethan is physically fine. After the conversation, she went to her room to take a bath and changed clothes. As she does so, Michael, Evelyn, and Hannah watch her through the bathroom door slit. It was very strange for them to peek at a fifteen year old boy who was taking a bath, but they had to make sure of a few things. First of all, there were no strange marks on his body. There are no scars left. Although he gets some while he is in another world, Ethan notices that, but he decides to act naturally.
While Ethan was taking a bath, the others gathered back in the living room to talk about what they had just seen. The Ethan they know is a very carefree boy who likes to spend most of his time playing games or sleeping. However, the Ethan they saw a few minutes ago was someone who had the willpower to avoid his father's 'attack' for a few minutes in a row despite being physically weaker.
"I can feel the mana within her," Hannah crossed her arms and then closed her eyes as she analyzed Ethan's whereabouts. “But it is very weak, not enough to strengthen his body and make it able to escape the antics of a foolish father.”
“It's not stupid. I'm serious, "Michael frowned.
“So, her instincts forced her to move her body like that?” Evelyn asked. “Is that one of those side effects? Trauma, maybe? "
"Maybe, maybe not" Hannah shrugged her shoulders. “We'll know after Ethan has done some tests. I'm not a doctor. I'm just someone who goes to another world. Which has been said…"
It was something Ethan would learn later on; his older sister had also become an otherworldly hero. However, he returned after only one week as time passed faster in the world he had been before. Not only that, thanks to his strength, he managed to save the world faster than Ethan.
“So, she has to go to that place, yes,” sighs Evelyn. "They must be on their way to our place."
"Yes, the chances of them ignoring her are too low," Hannah sighed. Given his current mental state, it was only natural.
Ethan had not been able to hear anything since he had lost his strength and was bathing on the second floor, but he could imagine what they were talking about. Just barely. Ethan has no idea how much the world has changed in a year. However, he knew things would not be the same as before, thanks to his strength and because he could also sense an incredible amount of mana in his sister's body.
After a few minutes, Ethan shows himself in the living room wearing the sweatpants he uses every day of his life before being called. She looks quite relaxed, thanks to her bathtub and clothes. It was enough to make his family relax around him as well, even though they would chat. Though that's not the case, it looks like Ethan will be interrogated as he sits on the side of the table and his family on the other side. Meanwhile, the redhead was sitting on the sofa, but then he suddenly got up.
"It looks like you're all going to have a long chat" said the redhead. "I'm going to go."
"No need" said Ethan. “Looks like I'm going to be your future brother-in-law, so you're not a stranger to them.”
He only noticed when the man woke up, but he was wearing a wedding ring. The same thing his sister used. Things are starting to make sense now .. why the man feels so out of place and why his sister has so much mana.
"Well, if you're okay with that ..." The redhead politely lowered his head and then placed his right hand on his chest. "It's nice to meet you. My name is Nuvian Gredithas. ”
"Ethan Clark .." said Ethan. “So, you are a prince of a kingdom, or you are already a king?”
