As the man writhed on the ground with his arm twisted, the expressions of the group changed. Delina, who quickly dealt with the man, touched the weapons at her waist.

‘I don’t want to cause a disturbance.’

Using a gun might attract more people due to the noise. Delina took out a dagger, and the men’s expressions darkened. When Delina was about to offer the dagger to them, the commotion behind the group grew louder.

“Aaargh!”
As screams echoed from behind, the men fell one by one. In Delina’s bewildered eyes, three figures wearing hoodies appeared.

“Wait, could it be, really…”

In the familiar atmosphere emanating from the three, Delina raised her eyebrows. At that moment, the wind fluttered the hood, revealing the faces of the three. Delina exclaimed in astonishment.

“What the!”

“Oh, miss! Didn’t expect to meet you like this!”

Felik, who was beating one of the men by grabbing his collar, greeted Delina warmly. Betty, who was kicking the men, and Vellion, who silently knocked down each one, had all changed their hair color with dye, although Vellion had one eye covered with an eyepatch since the eye color couldn’t be changed.

“Well, what’s up with these guys!”

As Delina’s companions fell like autumn leaves due to the three, the bewildered rest of the group hesitated and withdrew. Delina approached the three and asked awkwardly.

“What’s this? Why are you here? All three of you?”

“That’s right. It’s really a coincidence, miss.”

“…A coincidence?”

“Yes. We also happened to have business here. But meeting you like this here is really amazing.”

“Oh, so you three are here together like this? Also, meeting here of all places?”

Finding the reasons quite absurd, Delina turned her gaze to Betty.

“Betty. I know I can’t trust Felik, but I can trust you, right?”

“…”

“Is this really a coincidence?”

Instead of answering, Betty chose silence. Then Delina’s eyes turned to Vellion this time.

“Is it true?”

“…”

“Yes?”

While Delina was confirming whether the current meeting was a coincidence or not, the rest of the group, seeing Delina pretending to be acquainted with the three, became restless. One of them frowned as if feeling awkward.

“What’s this, do you all know each other?”

“Hey! Where do you get so bold! We know what kind of person our miss is!”

At the man’s words, Felik shouted with a stern voice. At Felik’s ‘miss,’ the group became agitated again.

“Miss?”

“Yeah! Do you know who she is?””

Aaargh!

Trying to introduce Delina confidently, Felik was about to shout, but Delina quickly grabbed Felik’s arm with a shocked expression.

“Stop it, Uncle…”

“Uncle!”

Faster than Felik’s words, Delina’s “uncle” resounded. Then the surprised Felik blinked his eyes.

“What?”

“Here, all together like this. Huh? Always singing songs about wanting to travel with your aunt, and it turns out it’s here?”

Felik and Betty had become Delina’s uncle and aunt by coincidence. Then, observing the situation, Betty, who had been watching silently, spoke to Felik.

“Honey.”

“…”

In response to Betty’s honey, Felik, who had momentarily looked stupid, soon changed his words as if he realized.

“…Right! Our niece, whom I raised like gold and jade!”

“What? Is that what it is?”
Only then did the group show a slightly relieved expression.

However, since the abilities of the three individuals were extraordinary, the group chose to attack them secretly rather than face them head-on. Pretending to retreat, they once again rushed forward.

“Argh!”

However, Vellion couldn’t be deceived by their sneak attack.

As the man struck by Vellion bounced off and crumpled to the ground, the astonished group widened their eyes.

Following that, Vellion moved towards the group with a formidable momentum. Worried that the situation might escalate due to an excited Vellion, Delina called out to him.

“Father…!”

For a moment, Delina hesitated, seeming to unintentionally want to call him ‘father,’ then she spat out the word.

“Dad!”
