Taira was more excited to return home on this day than usual.
But he wasn't really interested in rest or relaxation, even after being on his feet for the last two months.
More than anything, he was looking forward to seeing the people in his life who made his sacrifices feel insignificant.
As soon as he was able to pry himself off of Aveena, he immediately teleported home.
He almost barged right into his home without thinking, but he heard the sound of tender laughter before anything else and followed it like a man possessed.
When Taira first saw his daughter and his wife, he didn't notice anything else.
Yukiko's brilliant smile and outstretched arms lured him towards her instantly.
He swept up his daughter and his wife in his arms and held onto them for dear life.
He tried to be mindful of the fact that his strength was several times above what a child could withstand and limited his hugging as much as possible.
