Chapter 675 A Worrywart Mother

And like that, my mom dragged me downstairs and sat me down in front of the table. My father was there as well as my little brother and Nephilim. Both of them were already looking rather gloomy, as if they had undergone the torture that was my mother's scolding.
She started to lecture me about what had happened. She had come running here once her spirits sensed the presence of something incredibly malign, probably Sarach, but arrived when we had just slain something even worse. Her reaction was quite expected.
My father was more gentle with this, and seemed rather proud of what I did though, while my mother was talking about how she almost died of a heart attack.
"Zephyrus you're no longer allowed to go to the outside of this city until you grow up a bit more! I don't want you to risk your life." Sighed my mother. "And if we ever go outside, it will be with dad, alright."
"Okay… Mama don't get angry… Big sis protected me… She was very strong!" Zephy defended me.
"Was she? I can't believe you and your friends defeated a Demon Lord Servant and even that weird dragon monster! You guys are awesome! Just how strong are you right now, my princess?" Laughed my father, as he let me sit on his legs and started spoiling me.
"Uuuggh, Allan, stop being so unconcerned!" My mother began reprimanded him.
"But Faylen, it's not like the kids lose, right? Also they're already like fourteen now? At that age I was also slaying hordes of thousands of monsters! What are you even getting so worked up about?" He laughed.
"Don't you understand a single thing of what I was talking before?!" She began talking over and over about how dangerous the Demon Lords and their pawns were.
"Yet they still won." My father said with a smile. "I know. I am also worried, just as worried as you are. But instead of screaming at our children, don't you think it would be better to teach them better ways to fight and also to avoid danger? And also congratulate them for their efforts and victory! If you don't endorse that they're going to grow up hating us."
"I-I…" My mother felt slightly guilty after my father said that. "I guess… Yeah, I… well done, Sylphy. I just… I love you and Zephyrus so much… My heart hurts so much when I learn you two might be in lethal danger. You don't know how hard it was for me to allow you to go on dungeons on your own!" She sighed.
"I know mum… I get it, sorry. I fought that battle knowing I could win. If it wasn't the case, I would had quickly escaped. My Heavenly Eyes were showing me a path to victory, I merely followed that path." I said, my eyes shining brightly.
"Hmph…" My mother crossed her arms, looking like an adorable tsundere. "W-Well, well done then. But… if danger ever approaches, run as fast as you can, call our name and the spirits will hear you and we will come."
"I know, but I don't want to just rely on you two forever, right Zephy? We've gotta grow stronger ourselves as well!" I said.
"Yeah! I've grown stronger too, I am Tier 2!" Said Zephy.
"HUH?!" My parents reacted the same when I told them I had ascended to Tier 2 back then.
"Y-You're Tier 2 in both physique and magic circle, Zephy?!" My father smiled with fascination.
"T-This fast? Well… it makes sense, you must have fought many weaker monsters there, right?" My mother facepalmed. "Though this isn't exactly the best way to make someone stronger, it is certainly efficient… though rather rough."
"We only let him slay the Tier 1 monsters we found around." I said. "He did them all by himself using his new magic sword. His control over Darkness and Blood Magic have improved, and he's getting the hang of Curse and Poison Magic as well."
"Sheesh, such dangerous elements…" My mother sighed. "Zephy you make your mother proud as well, but please, PLEASE, don't try anything too dangerous, alright? Or mom will ban you from even going out of the house!"
"I-I get it…" Zephy nodded while feeling slightly suffocated by mom's reprimanding. "Sorry mum…"
He quickly got to her and hugged her. While I was more inclined towards dad, Zephy was a mommy's boy, he really was spoiled by her.
"Geez, my little prince… You're growing stronger but you have to realize you're young…" My mother sighed, hugging him tightly and giving him kisses on his forehead.
"I'll grow stronger to protect you mom, and dad and big sis too!" He said with shiny eyes filled with confidence.
"Well, your big sis said those same words back then…" My mother sighed. "Now, now, how about we have breakfast? I guess I've done a lot of reprimanding."
"Even you feel tired after a while, huh?" Laughed my father.
Like that, we slowly began our day once more. Mother also spoke with Nephilim and seemed rather surprised she became my familiar. She seemed thankful she helped us but told her she didn't had to overexert herself.
"You're a member of the family now, Nephi, so don't feel obligated to be a weapon for Sylphy, as long as you're there for her and her friends, I am happy with that." She said.
"Yeah, though good job. I guess only Sylphy could ever make a familiar contract with you, seeing how much mana she has…" My father sighed. "Seriously, we've tried to measure her mana quantity for so long but she just keeps having more and more."
"It might truly be endless…" My mother sighed. "I never thought that there could ever be a person born with endless mana, our girl is truly filled to the brim with talents, more than we can take, to be honest."
While the two chatted in the kitchen, I checked my Status, there was a quest that had been completed as well!
