"I was honestly as surprised as you." I sighed. "But…"
I explained her what happened a bit.
"I see… So she really wants a family of her own…" Elizabeth smiled. "Erika… she's quite the handful."
"Yeah, but I was really happy over her thoughts, making a family together is a beautiful thought…" I smiled sweetly.
"Hehe." Elizabeth giggled. "I've never seen you smile like that! You must be really happy over the thought! Do you want babies to tell you "papa!" and all? So corny~"
"H-Hey! I was just thinking." I sighed.
"Well, I'm glad… If you two can make a family like that. I would be so happy if you can make that girl have a beautiful family of her own…" Elizabeth sighed. "She has suffered a lot…"
"Not just with Erika." I said, holding her hand tightly. "Elizabeth, you're included as well. I know you're pretending to be happy; I know you very well. And I know… that you feel lonely, even more since Ellergest's passing. Once the war is over and everything else is said and done, let's make a family together. I am not planning on leaving you behind."
"Uwaah?!" Elizabeth suddenly blushed intensively, feeling completely embarrassed. "I-Is that so…" She felt slightly happy, I could tell.
"I-I guess, there's no helping it…" She said. "Also I couldn't leave Erika to you alone, she's like my sister at this point! So I'll help you take care of her too…"
"Hahaha, I'm glad." I giggled myself.
She quickly started kissing me while we sat down in front of the large table.
"Geez, always saying so many embarrassing things…" She said, kissing my mouth while complaining.
"I'm sorry, I can't help it, you're so cute when you get embarrassed." I smiled. "I remember you used to be much more open back then."
"T-That's… I just have grown up!" She sighed. "I want to be a proper lady… for you."
"There's no need for such a thing, but I appreciate your efforts." I gave her a head pat. "How about we make breakfast for everyone else?"
"Oh! Alright." She nodded. "Hm? What's this?"
Suddenly, she noticed the wooden box in the table.
"A gift for you."
"Oh? Ah! A-A bracelet?" She was surprised.
It was also a gold bracelet, though the jewels were white, blue, and yellow, unlike Erika's jewels, which were purple, pink, and green.
"It is a bracelet I designed for you, it'll make you much stronger." I said. "Wear it."
"O-Okay… Oh!" Elizabeth quickly realized its effects. "A-Amazing! Did my Mana almost double?! Just how much power does this bracelet has?! And it so pretty too! I feel like I should pay you for this…"
"I would never ask money to my girlfriend." I sighed.
"G-Girlfriend? I am your…?" She asked, feeling joyous.
"You aren't? I was assuming we were already into such a relationship. Erika had said you are." I said.
"I-I… well, I… I guess it is on my part for not realizing it…" She sighed. "After all we were kissing a lot just seconds ago…"
"Don't sweat it, anyways, let's prepare something tasty for everyone." I smiled confidently. "I'll also make your favorite meal, how about it, dear?"
"D-Dear?!" Elizabeth grew redder, as I could even see steam coming out of her ears, which grew redder in embarrassment. "I-If you want to…"
"So cute." I smiled, quickly beginning to cook.
I enjoyed our time together much like I did with Erika last night. Elizabeth slowly relaxed and opened her heart more and more with me as we spent a time together, with nobody else in the way.
"So I have been receiving some letters from the priests back in our village, they're doing fine." She said. "Seth told me that Jack has been helping the hunters catch wyverns and giant wild boars lately! His chains are really useful, so everyone loves him now. He has become really respected."
"Oh? That brat that was always annoying us?" I laughed. "Well, he has indeed grown."
"Yeah, he has become a more reliable person." Elizabeth smiled. "…"
"Do you miss them?" I wondered. "We could go there once we're done with Silvertide. By then, the semester would probably end."
"We can?" She wondered. "That would be nice… I also want to meet your family again… Maybe we could tell them about our relationship too?"
"Sure, my mom and dad already supported you anyways, so you shouldn't feel nervous." I smiled. "They understood a while ago that you're inseparable from me and Erika."
"Geez… That's embarrassing… And I was trying to get into their good side acting politely and all…"
"Hahaha, well, they do love that side of yours. My grandma said that you and Erika are like two different halves that complement me."
"I-I have to admit it, that is a rather cute praise…" She giggled. "Ah, smells nice, is that- Oh, French Toast!"
"Indeed, your favorite breakfast. I also am making pancakes for Erika." I nodded.
"Nice!" Elizabeth got super happy, smiling like she used to smile when she was much younger and smaller.
It is for such a beautiful smile that I work so hard…
Once breakfast came, we all feasted happily. Breakfast was the most important meal of the day, so we had to take this opportunity to eat our fill before we start our daily training routine.
"So I discussed with Hasan what was going to happen." Erika's mother said. "And Evelyn as well."
"Yeah." Evelyn sighed. "I can't believe it… You're too reckless!"
"It couldn't be helped." Eric sighed. "Once Blake sets his goal, nobody can stop him."
"Well, we've been informed of the entire contexts, and we've decided to come along as well, to support you in such… a dangerous endeavor." Sighed Erika's mother. "I know you're all very strong, but we won't be saving the entire Kingdom. Our mission will be to eliminate the demon settlement surrounding Monica's territory, and find her father."
"I know." I nodded. "Of course, we're still free to do as we please once we get there…"
