"Good morning. Father."

"Hm? Where am I. What did I."

"This is the Garden of Gods. You are no longer among the living."

"Are you, Aterna?"

"Yes, it's me Aterna."

"When was the last time I saw you with such a ladylike getup, was it in childhood? Will you call me father once again?"

"Yes. After all, you are my father."

"Haha, I see. Then I suppose, the land of the death isn't so bad at all. I feel like I've slept for quite a long time."

Two of Lecan-san's children had gone to his world following him, but they got married and had children in that world and chose to remain there as they wanted to have adventures in the other world. Presently Lecan-san is training his children here for the sake of challenging the Ocean Dungeon again."

"Mage Erushira. You mean Erushira the Witch? But that's just a fairy tale."

"It is in fact not a fairy tale. Mage Erushira-sama is a real person who's alive even now. Then, let's start from there. When Lecan-san first arrived in Town of Vouka, through Chaney-san's referral, he met a certain apothecary. And then..."
