Chapter 654 Introducing Erika's Mother

-----
Cattalina's introduction brought havoc in my house, but my parents quickly composed themselves and greeted her better. However, both of them panicked slightly, rushing to their room, and getting their fanciest clothes. After all, they felt like this was the bare minimum when a noble, daughter of royalty, was stepping into our humble house.
I couldn't care less about manners though, but I let them be. I can understand them though, living as serfs their entire life and suddenly meeting someone of such high status must be shocking. After all, Cattalina's status is even higher than the Duke of our duchy, she's a princess of our Kingdom.
We invited her to our house and quickly cleaned a free room in the second floor for her. She planned to stay through the entire break with us, she said she was going to pay the rent though and offered our family a bag with thousands of gold coins, which my parents refused constantly, but that I ended convincing them to take.
I mean, why not? It's free money that'll help our family in the future.
"Can we call you auntie?" Wondered Anna, looking at Cattalina with shiny eyes.
"Fufu, if you want to dear, feel free." Cattalina giggled, giving my sister a head pat.
"S-Sho pretty…" Said Allan, he seemed to have suddenly gotten charmed by Cattalina. "Have this…"
And he offered her a tiny candy.
"Thank you dear." Cattalina smiled, giving him a kiss in his cheek.
"Uwawawahhh…" Allan got all embarrassed and covered his face, running away from the room.
"Allan?! Where are you going dummy?" Anna started chasing him around.
We had lunch with Cattalina, I decided to prepare noodles this time, with wolf meat sauce, one of our specialties. She seemed slightly confused when I told her the team was that of Wild Gray Wolves.
"Really? But it is so soft and tastes so delicious…" She said in surprise.
"It is because we first marinate it for a day, and then we grind it until it is a soft paste." I said with a smile. "Of course, the fresh tomatoes and everything else all makes the sauce as good."
"Amazing, you're really a good chef, to make these cheap ingredients into something that even nobles would be surprised due to their taste!" Cattalina praised me. "You're really the only one deserving of my daughter's hand!"
"D-Daughter's hand?" Asked my mother, feeling slightly excited.
"Is it really possible?" Wondered my father.
"Ohoo! If they get married won't we become part of the noble family?" Grandmother was giggling greedily.
"Y-Yes, certainly." Sighed Eleanora, who was sitting at my side in her energy saving form. "C-Can I also get Blake's hand?!"
"Huh?" My mother looked at Eleanora. "Well, if you want to? You're his spirit so you can do whatever you want!"
"Eh? I thought you were already boyfriends?" Wondered my father.
"Uwaahhh…" Eleanora suddenly got embarrassed. "W-We aren't! …Yet!"
"Well, I wouldn't mind having both of them as my wives in the future." I said. "In a future where we can live in peace… A future where we can relax and not think of the danger in every corner."
"Blake…" My mother sighed. "As always, you're once more thinking big, huh?"
"Of course." I nodded. "I guess we have yet to tell you what happened back then in the Academy."
Like that, we spent the rest of the evening talking and updating my family about everything that happened. They laughed, gasped, and cried in horror sometimes, but after everything ended, they felt surprised.
"T-To think the Director would allow such a thing! Blake you're sometimes playing with fire, my son! Who taught you to be so reckless?" My mother asked. "A-Ah, your father, I bet."
"E-Eh? I didn't!" My father said. "Well… I kind of am reckless."
"Well, well, obviously it was me! I shaped this boy into the tyrant he is now! One day I'm sure he'll kill all demons and save the world! Mark my words!" Said grandmother.
"Our next goal is to grow much stronger." I said. "The Tower of Gluttony is only the beginning. We'll go after every Tower in the continent, and then the others. Once they're all down, the world will finally be freed from the demons. However, I'll go a step further and travel to hell, somehow, and most likely get rid of the King of Demons Lucifer, as long as he perishes, there'll be no more threats in the future."
"A-Are you listening to the insanity you're talking about, dear?" My mother sighed. "I am well aware of your strength but please don't do anything crazy!"
"I can't promise you that, mother… But I'll make sure to survive." I nodded.
"Honestly I am just as worried as your mother but… I am just amazed in everything you've accomplished. Sometimes I wonder if you're really my son!" Laughed father. "You have my total support, Blake. If anybody could do such a thing… You and your friends might have the best shot at it."
"Me too! You've got my total support kid!" Laughed grandma.
"Big brother's so cool!" Anna said, giving me kisses in my cheek while sitting on my legs. "Mooch! Mooch! You're the hero! Mooch!"
"B-Big brother when I grow…" Allan said. "W-When I grow up… I want to join you! I want to fight and become stronger… and help you free our world!"
Allan seemed decided to walk the same path as me.
"Me too!" Anna nodded.
And Anna as well…
I was worried about that I've influenced them like this, but at the same time, having my siblings fighting at my side filled me with much more strength.
And their spirits and skills that have such incredible buffs, they feel as if… the Holy Spirits themselves gave them these powers to help me in our journey.
"Fine." I nodded. "But make sure to continue training as hard as I've taught you."
"Yeah!" The two raised their hands filled with conviction.
"Heheh, they kind of remind me of us when we were younger." Erika giggled.
"Is it?" I wondered. "Yeah… I guess you're right."
