Chapter 34

Everyday life with my daughter

Toxic Parent Reincarnation ~ When I Doted on My Daughter Destined to Become the Final Boss, She Ended Up Liking Me an Abnormal Amount ~


The dungeon in the hills behind Claraโ€™s hometown. Several days had passed since its conquest. During that time, Aldo and Iris had been living their daily lives without delving into any dungeons.

The profession of a Digger is unstable. If no dungeons appear, thereโ€™s no income, and if someone clears the dungeon, the steady source of income is lost.

However, if the dungeon isnโ€™t cleared, the spirits remain trapped, and eventually, the world will be overrun by evil spiritsโ€ฆ In other words, itโ€™s structurally difficult to make this a full-time profession.

The instant rewards from clearing dungeons are certainly good, but they donโ€™t provide a stable income. In fact, Aldo is still working in the mines even now.

โ€œHey, Aldo. Youโ€™re getting the hang of the job, arenโ€™t you?โ€

The boss slapped Aldo on the back with a loud thud.

โ€œUgh!โ€

Aldoโ€™s body bent like a bow. Despite his low faith making him resilient against evil spirit attacks, the bossโ€™s strong physical blow still had an effect.

โ€œHahaha. How about it? Have you gotten a bit stronger from delving into dungeons?โ€

โ€œY-you think so?โ€

โ€œWell, youโ€™re no match for me yet. Hahaha!โ€

In truth, the bossโ€™s physique was far superior to Aldoโ€™s. Aldo couldnโ€™t help but think that the boss might be more suited to being a Digger than he was.

Being a Digger isnโ€™t just about physical strength; it also depends on mana control and whether oneโ€™s level of faith aligns with their combat style. So, itโ€™s not necessarily true that the boss would be better suited for the job.

โ€œAlright, thatโ€™s enough for today. Letโ€™s call it a day at a good stopping point!โ€

The boss clapped his hands, signaling the end of the dayโ€™s work. As usual, Aldo headed straight home for Iris.

โ€œIโ€™m homeโ€”โ€

โ€œWelcome back, Dad!โ€

Iris greeted Aldo as she always did.

โ€œHuh? Is Clara not here?โ€

โ€œNope, she went back to work.โ€

โ€œI see.โ€

Claraโ€™s main job is being a Digger, but during the off-season when there are no nearby dungeons, she works as a waitress at a tavern run by an acquaintance. To make a living solely as a Digger, one needs to be quick to detect dungeon appearances and travel to those areas, which essentially means living like a nomad without a fixed residence.

โ€œIris, what do you want to play today?โ€

โ€œHmmโ€ฆ Letโ€™s play house!โ€

Iris pretended to cook by putting pebbles into an old pot.

โ€œDear, wait a moment. Hehe.โ€

Iris, pretending Aldo was her husband, looked delighted as she playfully stirred the pebbles in the pot with a stick.

Someday, Iris, who is so attached to Aldo now, will grow up and marry someone else. The thought made Aldo feel a bit lonely. Iris wonโ€™t be a child forever. Once she grows up, she wonโ€™t play house with him like this anymore.

Thatโ€™s why Aldo wanted to cherish this time with her. Once you become an adult, you canโ€™t go back to being a child.

โ€œHere you go, dear.โ€

Iris placed the pebbles on a plate and handed it to Aldo, pretending it was a meal.

โ€œWow, this looks delicious. Letโ€™s eat, nom nom.โ€

Aldo pretended to eat the โ€œmealโ€ Iris had prepared.

โ€œHow is it? Tasty?โ€

โ€œYeah, itโ€™s really good. Youโ€™ll make a great wife someday.โ€

โ€œNo! Iโ€™m already married to you, remember?โ€

โ€œAh, right. Sorry.โ€

Aldo had forgotten the pretend scenario and accidentally misspoke. Iris pouted a little but laughed when Aldo apologized.

Aldo tried to imagine what kind of person Iris would marry. If she ended up with a bad guyโ€ฆ Just the thought made Aldoโ€™s anger simmer towards an imaginary villain.

Even if it was a good personโ€ฆ it would still feel lonely. He wouldnโ€™t go as far as wanting to punch the guy, but he wasnโ€™t sure he could wholeheartedly give his blessing.

But if it was someone Iris choseโ€ฆ Aldo couldnโ€™t completely deny the idea. It was a complicated feeling, typical of a father.

After they finished playing house, Iris went to bed in high spirits. Whenever they played house with Aldo as the husband, she always ended up in a good mood.

Watching Irisโ€™s angelic sleeping face, Aldo murmured to himself.

โ€œSomeday, Iris will be protected by someone other than me. But until then, let me be the one to protect her.โ€

โ—‡

The history of this world had changed. Aldo and Iris werenโ€™t the only ones living a different life from what was originally intended. Clara was also among them.

At this time, Clara had not yet liberated the spirits from the dungeon in her hometown. Thanks to Aldo and Iris, the dungeon had been cleared earlier than expected, but it would have been too much for Clara to handle alone. She had sought help from a certain woman.

That womanโ€™s name was Mira. In the original history, Mira would have been killed by the witch Iris.

The general flow of events was that Iris would kill Mira, and then Miraโ€™s brother would vow revenge on Iris and join the heroโ€™s party.

However, the awakening of the witch Iris was still far off. In this era, Mira was still alive. No, if Iris didnโ€™t awaken as a witch, Miraโ€™s fate of dying would no longer exist. That was the predetermined harmony, butโ€ฆ it was different.

According to the backstory, Mira could have died much earlier. Evil spirits had appeared in the town where Mira lived. Although there were many casualties, those who could fight managed to defeat the evil spirits and overcome the crisis without the power of the spirits.

So, why was Mira, who had the strength to fight, unharmed? It was because she was in the process of conquering the dungeon in Claraโ€™s hometown, which allowed her to escape the danger.

The negative effects of the changed history were about to manifest. There was a possibility that Mira would die earlier than originally intended.

When Aldo was told this, he woke up. He had been having a strange dream. Thinking this, he sat up in bed. But there was someone else who had seen the same dream at the same time. That person was Iris.

Iris had seen the continuation of the dream that Aldo hadnโ€™t witnessed.

Why did Mira have to die in this world as well? It was because Iris had killed her. History doesnโ€™t easily change for the better. The causality that Iris had set in motion in the original history was also occurring in this world.

Whose fault was it that Mira was now destined to die in this world? It was undeniably Irisโ€™s fault.

The voice in the dream repeatedly told her this. Unable to bear the weight of that responsibility, Iris woke up.

โ€œHaahโ€ฆ haahโ€ฆ what was that dreamโ€ฆโ€

It was rare for her to remember the contents of a dream. Iris had forgotten about half of what she had seen. The fact that she had been a witch.

But there was a part she remembered. That a woman named Mira might die because of her.

That Mira had been able to escape danger thanks to Clara.

It was too realistic to dismiss as just a strange dream. Iris decided to tell Aldo about the dream as a little topic of conversation.

โ€œDad, I had a weird dream last night. It was about a woman named Mira dying.โ€

Hearing Irisโ€™s words, Aldoโ€™s expression changed.

โ€œIris, are you serious about what you just said? I had the same dreamโ€ฆโ€
