My wife from the game sent me a message, inviting me to meet her.
It was the first message I'd received from her in over ten years.
The last time we were in touch, we were sharing our opinions on how to decorate our in-game home, excitedly preparing for the arrival of our child.
"It's been years. I wonder how she's doing. Maybe she's graduated and started working by now?"
I went to the mountaintop outside the city as promised. A gigantic fire monster suddenly appeared and kept coming closer.
Just as I was stranded, helpless, and sure I was doomed, a silver-haired girl leaped off the monster's head.
She had the otherworldly beauty of someone from another world, wore equipment identical to the gear in the game, and flapped gorgeous butterfly-like wings.
"Darling, I've finally found you!"
"That's right! This is our child."
The red monster transformed into an adorable little girl and obediently fell into the girl's arms.
This was the child-raising questline I'd once missed. It had come looking for me.
By the way, does the old conquest guide still work? Asking for a friend.
