Kaburak’s father—Orcheim’s chief and a burly orc who carried a huge battle axe—came running at the news of Kaburak’s return. Kaburak was still smiling under the fluttering petals when their eyes met.0

It was a long-awaited reunion between the father and son. Kaburak’s gaze was filled with emotion as he called out to his father, Gorit.0

“Father!” Kaburak cried out.0

Gorit also appeared to be deeply moved as he approached his son. After all, the relationship between a father and son could never end, even if they had been apart for a long time. Crockta and Tiyo felt warm inside while they watched the reunion, even though they hadn’t known Kaburak for that long.0

Kaburak and Gorit walked toward each other as if about to engage in a warm embrace. Around them, the flower petals that Kaburak’s magic had created continued to flutter in the air. Then… Gorit punched Kaburak with a loud whack.0

“Ugh!” Kaburak groaned as one of his teeth flew out from his mouth. “Fa-Father??”6

“You disappeared without a word, and you suddenly show up now?!” shouted Gorit.0

That punch of his had been charged with emotion.0

“Also, where’s the Constellation Staff?!” questioned Gorit.0

“It br-broke, Father…” muttered Kaburak.0

“You—!”0

The orcs around Gorit had to hold him back because he was ready to charge and beat up his son. Gorit was massive, so it wasn’t easy to hold him back; several orcs had to cling to him tightly.0

Despite being held back, Gorit continued to shout, seemingly appalled by the whole situation. “Villagers! Listen to me! My son disappeared without a trace with the family’s heirloom and then suddenly returned after breaking it! Does this make sense to anyone?!”3

“He might die if you continue to beat him up, so calm down,” said...0
