"Big brother!"
"Welcome back!"
As we stepped out of the airship, we were greeted by our families in the village's airport, which had been recently built to receive airships by this land's duke. My siblings were the first to run at us, hugging me with their cheerful voices.
It hasn't even been a year since my last visit, but they felt slightly more grown up now, perhaps it was their developed physiques or something else, but it truly felt like they had grown.
"Hello Allan, Anna, it seems you've been working hard, I can notice you've grown stronger by the intensity of your hugs."
"Yeah!" Anna said happily. "We've trained nonstop, big bro!"
"So we can grow strong and help…" Allan nodded.
"You are still growing up, please don't worry about things such as helping out, you have to also enjoy your childhoods," I said with a gentle smile, as I carried them both with my arms.
At the same time, Erika, Elizabeth, Eleanora, and even Saphira greeted them both with happy smiles.
