บท 196: Homecoming [4]

After some time on the swings, we explored the other areas of the park. We played hide and seek, had a little picnic on the blanket we brought, and even tried our hand at flying a colourful kite.

As the day unfolded, Lilya's laughter became the soundtrack to our adventures. The park became a magical realm where the worries of the world faded away.

Eventually, we found a quiet spot under the shade of a big tree. Lily sat beside me, her eyes filled with curiosity.

"Big brother, why did you have to go away from home? Where did you go?" she asked, her innocence tugging at my heart.

I sighed, wondering how to explain the complexities of my situation to a five-year-old. "Lilya, it's a bit complicated. You see your brother has a dream, I want to become a hero that's why I have to go study at Nova Academy and when I become a hero I will start to manage our guild, so when that time comes will you help me, big brother?"
