As we arrived back home, we decided to have dinner again with mom and dad. I didn't mind eating some more because my body metabolisms absorbs nutrients very quickly… And Aquarina is the same. Except Zephy, he's still small so he was only eating a little pie.
"So I heard what you did today." My mother said with a smile. "It seems you've successfully resolved the pest problem in the farmlands and even made them regrow!"
"Yeah." I said while puffing my chest. "We even healed the soil and all! It was super easy to be honest. Though those moles were strangely big and malicious, they were glowing with a purple and black aura…"
"Well yeah, recently monsters are becoming more aggressive, the closer you get to the farther lands of the Wild Area of the continent, the stronger and more ferocious they become." My father explained. "Seems like some moles living there infiltrated our city and made a ruckus. Good thing you took care of it, dear. Well done, your papa's very proud of you! You've grown to become so strong, sometimes I feel like I should just let you go already, hahaha!"
"Let me go?" I wondered.
"No! There's no way I'll let her just go away! She's very young, Allan, stop talking nonsense!" My mother sighed. "She may be strong, but she's still very naïve in many things, and she still needs to learn high tiered magic in the academy, alongside many other things she has yet to learn completely."
"Yeah, yeah." My father sighed. "I never went to any academy or whatever so I guess I can't comment if they're good or not… And we can't waste the opportunity either."
"Indeed." My mother nodded.
"Honestly I would rather not go do a boring academy…" I sighed. "Also I bet there'll be more of my family there, right? They're just going to bully me."
"Well if that happens you bully them back and make them regret it." My father smiled. "Right, Aquarina?"
"Yeah we'll do that!" Aquarina said happily.
"No! If you make up troubles in the academy you might get expelled!" My mother facepalmed. "So… Agh, let's talk about this later. It is yet not the time for those troubles to come. For now, however, you deserve some praise. You resolved two very big problems. And now that the farmlands are healed and growing steadily thanks to your amazing magic abilities and your friends, we'll get crops quite soon."
"Honestly Sylphy's too powerful, how come she has so much Mana?" Zephy wondered. "It was thanks to that that we were able to grow the plants and all!"
"Hahaha, I don't have… infinite mana or something." I shrugged. "I am actually very tired after overusing it…"
"And aside from that, the other problem you solved was the restaurant, right?" My father wondered. "You did everything and ended saving that man's career."
"That restaurant is our most prestigious one as well. I am glad things have stabilized there. Mother will eat food from there and she absolutely loves seafood, so it is good to know she will be able to enjoy everything to her heart's content." Said my mother.
"Is grandma a glutton?" Wondered Zephy.
"Oh yes, despite how graceful she may look, my mother eats a lot." My mom sighed.
"That is not… something I expected from grandma…" I was surprised.
"Wait that graceful fairy you have as a grandma eats a lot?" Aquarina felt confused too.
"Hahaha, you will see. I can't believe she can keep such a good figure even after eating so much." My mother sighed. "So anyways, tomorrow you'll have your last task. It is related with the city walls and the guards there, I hope you can do your best, dear."
"Sure mom." I nodded confidently. "And after tomorrow, grandma's visiting, isn't it? I'm a bit nervous…"
"Don't be, she's very lax." My mom sighed. "Sometimes, so much she became quite the irresponsible mother."
"Hahaha, here we go again…" My father sighed.
"You know? She often never gave me the attention I needed, and whenever I talked to her about the books I studied, she often told me I should be doing more girly things! And whenever I tried to do them, she ignored me, and when-" Mom seemed to have a few issues with grandma. I can tell she wasn't the best mother out there, at least not bad I guess, but not good either.
"I am glad you've been doing the exact opposite, mommy." I said with a smile. "Because you're such a good mother, I've grown in the person I am now."
"S-Sylphy…" My mother suddenly felt touched, shedding a tear. "Is that so? Am I a good mother?"
"Yep!" I said. "You're a bit grumpy at times, but you're always worried about me and Zephy, and you show interest in what we like or want to learn, and you and dad always happily teach it to us!"
"Yeah!" Zephy said while eating his pie. "And mama makes very guud pies."
"That too." I nodded.
"Oh my…" My mother felt slightly embarrassed. "Back then, I honestly didn't knew how I could handle being a mother, but I guess by doing my best and relying on your father and our friends, we've somehow managed to do it."
"It wasn't easy, well, raising Zephy was much easier than with Sylphy. Mostly because he was raised here in a peaceful place." My father said with a smile.
"Was it dangerous back then when big sis was little like me?" Wondered Zephy.
"Yeah, we were often attacked by big dragons, demon lords, and more." My mother said.
"Well, all of that just happened to you too in the dungeon…" My father facepalmed. "But anyways, something like that."
"It was always dangerous, but to be honest, kind of fun…" I sighed. "Maybe I am a bit crazy. Though, some memories are quite terrible too. Like that time we were attacked by a demon lord with Aquarina…"
"Oh yeah, that… L-Let's better not remember such a time…" Aquarina sighed. "Now we've grown strong enough that I think we would had smashed that ugly skeleton's skull to bits though!"
"Yep, I wish we could go back in time with this strength, we would had crushed that bastard!" I laughed.
"I-I don't think this is a good topic of conversation when eating dinner, girls…" My mother sighed.
