Britannian Empire, northern border, Avalon Fortress, outside the southern gate.

——Avalon Fortress... It's been a long time...

Issel, standing outside the south gate of Avalon Fortress, looked up at the tall southern wall of Avalon Fortress, with a look of memories on his face.

When Issel was just an unknown little knight, he once served in the Knights of Michael.

Since he had played for the Knights of Michael, Issel naturally came to Fortress Avalon, but that happened a long time ago.

Now after many years, I saw the long-lost Fortress Avalon again. Isel's memories buried deep in his mind were now flashing in front of his eyes without being controlled by Isel.

"After that..." Issel whispered in such a low voice that only he could hear, "The first time she met Abigail was at Fortress Avalon..."

After saying that, more memories flashed before Issel's eyes.

Issel, who missed his daughter whom he hadn't seen for a long time, applied for a leave application to the central government.

After repeated reviews from the central government, his vacation application was finally approved and he was given a period of time enough to allow him to go to the Avalon Fortress to see Alisa's long vacation.

After learning that the leave application was approved, Issel immediately left the Rhine front and went to Avalon Fortress to find his daughter alone.

After a long journey, I finally arrived at the northernmost end of the empire - Avalon Fortress.

On the way to Avalon Fortress, Issel also learned about the victory in the north.

While being happy that his country has achieved another major victory, Issel began to worry about whether his baby daughter was injured in the battle that had just ended. In order to see Alisa earlier, Issel accelerated his speed to Avalon Fortress.

Therefore, compared with the original plan, Issel arrived at the Avalon Fortress earlier.

After ending his memories of the past, Issel wiped the tears in his eyes because he missed Abigail.

After finishing his clothes and luggage, Issel stepped over the south gate and entered the Avalon Fortress.

It is still early in the morning, and the southern gate of Avalon Fortress has just opened.

Issel had not had breakfast yet, and after entering the Avalon Fortress, he felt the hunger in his stomach became stronger and stronger.

——Before you go find Alissa, go for breakfast.

After making up his mind, Issel simply asked a few passers-by to ask about the road, and then walked straight to the city of Avalon Fortress.

Issel was not a picky eater, so after coming to the city of Avalon Fortress, he found a restaurant and walked in.

While waiting for the breakfast he had just ordered to come, in order to pass the boring time, Issel paid attention to listening to the conversations of the people around him.

Because it's still early, there are only two tables of guests in this restaurant, including Issel.

Another table of guests sat next to Issel, judging by their conversation, the two seemed to be a couple.

The couple both have aqua blue hair. The man has a serious face and feels like a serious person. However, his wife has a gentle face. Judging from her appearance, she seems to be a very gentle person.

Issel quietly looked at the couple sitting next to him, and looked at the gentle woman, Issel couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

——This lady is very beautiful. If she had a daughter, it would not be difficult to see her daughter.

——But her husband looks very difficult to get along with.

——I should stop watching the two of them secretly. If this man finds out that I am looking at them and makes him mistakenly think that I am peeking at his wife, it will be troublesome.

Issel, who avoided trouble, took his eyes back.

As soon as Issel turned his eyes back, he heard the conversation between the couple who had been silent just now.

"Honey, I didn't expect that there were still ordinary residents in the Avalon Fortress. I always thought that there were military camps inside the Avalon Fortress."

"Don't be stupid. Many fortresses have ordinary residents. Most of these residents living in fortresses are the families of the fortress defenders."

"Husband, after we finish breakfast later, why not go and visit Avalon Fortress together first?"

"Hmm? Don't you go see your daughter first?"

"Look at my daughter or something, let's put it aside first. Let's go to the Avalon Fortress together without taking time."

"Isn't it good to go see my daughter first, and then take her with her daughter. Isn't it good for the three of them to stroll around the Avalon Fortress?"

"Oh, husband, I want to go shopping with you for a long time."

"...you can do whatever you like."

...

Listening to the conversation between the couple beside him, Issel's ears trembled.

The loving conversation between the couple just now made Issel, who had lost his wife for many years, both angry and envious. However, while feeling angry and envious, Issel also heard from the couple's conversation that the couple was not a local from Avalon Fortress, and it seemed that they came to Avalon Fortress to find their daughter.

I felt that Issel, who was of the same kind, became curious and couldn't help but turn his head and say to the couple:

"May I ask--Are you here to visit Avalon Fortress to see your daughter?"

Issel's sudden conversation made the couple slightly stunned.

The couple looked at Issel first.

Finally, the husband took the lead and said:

"Well, yes, my wife and I both went to the Avalon Fortress to see the daughter I haven't seen for a long time."

"You just said 're Again', are you too..."

"That's right." Issel nodded with a smile, "I am not a native of Fort Avalon. I came to Fort Avalon to find my daughter whom I haven't seen for a long time."

Issel couldn't help but open up his conversation by finding a similar person.

"For some reason, I had to separate from my daughter, and I could only contact me through letters." Issel stroked the short beard on his chin helplessly, "Because I really miss my daughter whom I haven't seen for a long time, I took a leave and ran here all the way to find her."

"So too," the husband sighed, "I was forced to separate from my daughter for some reason and could only contact me through letters."

Speaking of this, the husband seemed to remember something and added:

"I actually didn't think of coming to find my daughter in this bird place. I couldn't resist my wife's chatter, so I had no choice but to come with her."

As soon as he finished speaking, his wife said quietly:

"Who is the person who is so excited that he can't sleep all the time because he's finally going to see his daughter these days?"

"Shut up!" Her husband glared at her viciously.

The husband withdrew his gaze, cleared his throat, and asked Issel:

"You just said you are not a native of Avalon Fortress, so where did you come from?"

"My? I'm from the Rhine War...ah, no, from the eastern part of the empire."

"The east of the empire... that's really far. My wife and I came from the village of Bret, which is quite close to the Avalon Fortress."

...

Although the middle-aged man looked serious and serious, Issel and him were surprised to be able to chat.

Maybe it's because both of them are fathers with daughters, and they have quite a lot of common topics.
