"After reaching the threshold of three Demonic Towers destroyed, we've decided to add a new upgrade to the Grimoire you possess." The Holy Spirit of Light said.
"I'm sure you'll love it~" The Holy Spirit of Love said.
"More rewards will also be given when you wake up tomorrow." The Holy Spirit of Darkness commented.
"Make sure to not keep them all for yourself we will also gift you some that are for your friends too." The Holy Spirit of Ice, resembling a tall and slender lady made of frost spoke. She hadn't spoken this entire time. "Elfriedden… Please take care of him. Tell him that I am always watching over him, okay?"
"Alright." I nodded. "He might feel shocked to learn he's being watched by the Holy Spirit of Ice when he's often thinking he's so talentless. He might even feel embarrassed to learn you're a beauty."
"Oh my… Such flattering words, dear." The Holy Spirit of Ice giggled. "You'll get a good reward for that."
"Hey! No flattering words for me?" Cried the Holy Spirit of Love. Her voice and snarky personality slightly reminded me of my Erika, although she had none of her cuteness. "Give me a kiss at least?"
"Enough…" I sighed, as I quickly decided to leave. "I'll be leaving now. I will be rather busy. After this, we'll slay an annoying Dragon. I hope there's no connection between you and this being."
"No, there is none. That is a rogue dragon that has been eating mithril for eons. Perhaps from eras before our awakening." The Holy Spirit of Light said. "Be careful, although weakened after not fighting for many years, it still a mighty monster. Defeating him with your current abilities shouldn't be… too hard, I suppose. But even then, remain cautious."
"I will, thanks for the information. Bye for now."
FLASH!
After leaving, I decided to just sleep for the rest of the night. Eleanora, Elizabeth, and Erika were not letting me move at all. Their arms and legs wrapped around my body as if I were their body pillow. This is but one of the many challenges that come with accepting the hearts, feelings, and love of three beautiful maidens. I must endure… I must.

(Erika's POV)
It has been so long since we've been able to relax this much before! Although yesterday's battle was… nothing but hard, it was still fun, and we won! And we destroyed that annoying Archdemon too, so it's all nice and good.
And I believe this is probably… the first time I wake up before Blake! He must be really tired. Look at him, all adorably sleeping. My cute boyfriend really needs to catch a break! Even when we're in vacations, he's always working so hard.
"Mooch, mooch, mooch!"
I gave him three little kisses on his face and then decided to wake up early. I sneakily walked out of the bed and moved to the kitchen downstairs, while stretching my arms.
"Phew… Ah, good morning mom!"
I saw mom, she was sitting in the couch of the living room while reading a book and enjoying a nice-looking elven tea. She also had a pile of good-looking cookies! I want some! Mommy's cookies are always so tasty.
"Good morning dear, how are you doing this morning?" She asked with a gentle smile.
I ran to her side and hugged her. She hugged me back, kissing my forehead, nose, and cheeks like a dozen times. Mom really loved kissing me all over my face!
"Hehehe, I'm fine mom, stop kissing me so much! I'm not a baby anymore, you know?" I giggled, sneakily taking a cookie covered with chocolate. It was so sweety and crunchy! I even drank some of her tea, she didn't mind.
"It just that looking at my baby's face in front of me, I can't resist… You know how many years I cried every night, thinking you were gone?" She sighed, caressing my face. "Every day I see you alive, smiling, and giggling… My heart can't help but want to embrace you and give you all the love I couldn't give to you…"
"M-Mom…" I felt slightly touched by her words. "Don't worry, I am not going anywhere now! I won't be dying or anything like that. I'm strong! And I got my besties with me, and Blake! He's super-duper strong, you know?"
"I know." She nodded, smiling. "Even then, let mommy give you some more love alright? Come here, you owe me a hundred hugs!" She grabbed me and hugged me as if I was her little doll.
"Geez mom! You're the baby here sometimes!" I sighed.
"Boohoo… I'm a baby, let baby mommy love her little baby daughter, alright?" She rubbed her face on mine.
"Fine, but I'm taking your cookies!" I giggled mischievously.
"Of course dear, they were mostly for you. Eat as many as you want. Mommy will bring you more if you want." She nodded.
I allowed her to let me sit on her lap for now because nobody else was around, this would kill me of embarrassment if Blake saw it! Or any of my friends, actually! Well, the cookies and the tea were really nice, so I stuffed myself with that while mom spoiled me.
"Hmm, your hair is so silky and smells like roses. Is this because of the shampoo or your current form?" She wondered, as she was grooming my hair and making me some cute pigtails. I think Blake liked that style more.
"I dunno! I do use aromatic shampoo Blake bought for me! It's really nice!" I said. "A-Ah, right! I completely forgot! I was going to make him a breakfast!
H-How long have we spent chatting and eating?! Eep!"
"E-Erika?!" My mother cried as she saw me escape her embrace. I quickly got into the kitchen, started taking out ingredients and cooking. My Doll Spirits helped me move stuff around. "Come on, please don't wake up Blake!"
I cooked up a pile of tasty pancakes, some eggs with bacon, freshly baked bread, hot cocoa, and lastly, mom brought more cookies to share with everyone!
And of course, my boyfriend's favorite breakfast meal, cream puffs! He's so shy about it, but I notice how much he loves to eat these, hehe!
"Hm? Oh, Erika, you woke up early today." His tender voice echoed behind me.
"A-Ah, good morning!" I smiled at him. "I made you breakfast!"
