Chapter 1255: The Last Breakfast Together

"Well, always late, even in the last day!" my mother quickly noticed us walking downstairs. "So sorry, we overslept a bit!" I apologized. "Ah damn, everyone's already eating..."

"Okay let's just eat something quickly then," Aquarina said. "Morning~"

After greeting our family and friends, we sat down, and mom brought us some breakfast. Pancakes, sandwiches, even some pizza, and there was even cupcakes and donuts!

"Eat well, the trip to where you all are going will be pretty long, even if you go through airship," my mother said, petting our heads.

"Thank you mom... Hmm, going to miss your pancakes!" I cried, as I ate perhaps the last pancakes made by my mom I will be eating for at least a year.

"Aw, well, your father's cooking is not so bad, though? I have taught him well how to cook, leave it to him," my mother said. "As long as he doesn't cook too much meat though."

"Ah, well, you won't be there to supervise us, so we'll make whatever we want, ahah!" my father acted a bit cocky.

Is he treating this like a vacation from mom?

He is, isn't he?

For all the talk about how much he loves her, I suppose he really wanted a break without her grumpiness and reprimands.

Well, that's what you get for marrying a much older elf woman, dad, what did you expect?

"What? You better feed my Sylphy well, you!" my mother got a bit pissed off, quickly messing with father's red hair.

"Hahaah, I will, I will honey, calm down!" he laughed. "It was just a joke, we love your cooking. I will do my best to keep her well feed, and also the other kids too. Though, won't the witch make anything?"

"Her? I doubt she would! She's such a slacker, she probably barely eats anything other than pre-made food, she often just freezes it with her powers and then reheats it using her powers," my mother sighed.

"Hahah, right, I guess Felicia's like that, huh?" my dad laughed.

"Can you tell us anything more about her?" Celeste wondered. "I kind of want to learn a bit about her before meeting her, to not mess our first contact... Is she okay with us... being demons?"

"Of course she is, Felicia has never been someone that cared about races," my mother said. "She's a half elf and half dwarf, a daughter between a dwarf and an elf, a very rare hybrid of tribes. Usually because our tribes don't get along too well, sometimes. Our relationships have improved in the last five hundred years though."

"That's certainly an interesting combination..." I said.

"How old is she?" Celica wondered.

"I... I think she's older than me," my mother said. "Probably over seven hundred years." "Eh?! She's old! What's wrong with heroes getting chosen so late in their lives?" I wondered. "Hahah, you're calling your mother old, Sylphy?" my mother gave me a menacing glare. "A-Ah! No..." I said, looking elsewhere. "Of course not mommy, you're so young!" "Hah, anyways, well, she's indeed old compared to the usual lifespan of other tribes," she nodded. "Anyways, let's not talk about such things, you will get to know her once you met her. She's... well, let's say she's quite eccentric. You will need to get used to her antics if you want to learn anything from her, so treat her respectfully, even if... she throws you off a bit." "Huh? W-What does that means?" Celeste looked nervous.

"Hahah, you'll see once you're there," my mom laughed. "Anyways, quickly! Eat your breakfast and get ready, the airship will be departing in two more hours, we can't waste all our time here!"

There's literally two more hours to go and she's hurrying us so much, I guess that's a mother for you.

I saw Aquarina interacting with her family, she seemed to be laughing and enjoying her time.

I guess she'll be with all of them, which is nice, she won't be lonely at all with her mom and dad.

Meanwhile, I'll only bring my dad with me.

I'll honestly miss mom, despite her being a grumpy mother from time to time, and her reprimanding, I love her a lot.

I love hugging her since I was young, she smells so nice, and her long blonde hair is so beautiful as well, and her emerald eyes too!

My mommy's so pretty I can hardly believe she's my mother.

Yeah, such beauty deceives you from her actual personality...

"Hm? Sylphy, did you say something?" my mother looked at me.

"Eh? No?" I muttered.

Did she just "sensed" I was thinking about her in such a manner?

Wow, so these are the powers of an elf mother.

Probably a sixth sense or something, exclusive to elf moms.

...

After having breakfast, we packed the last things.

I went to my bedroom one last time.

I looked at my bed, my night table, my closet, my mirror, and everything else.

I've spent over seven years here... Now I'll be gone for I don't know how long.

I think I'll miss this place a bit.

As I walked outside of my bedroom, I found Zephy looking at his own bedroom too, packing

his last things.

"Big sis..." he sighed.

"Are you a bit sad?" I wondered.

"Yeah..." he nodded. "I'll miss our house."

"Honestly, me too... But that's how it is, I guess," I patted his head. "Let's go, Zephy. We have

an adventure to have..."

"I'll miss you big sis..." he said, holding my hand as we walked outside the house.

Every step became slower, every step became heavier.

To set off into the world outside, it was a heavier thought than I had originally thought.

To step outside of my area of comfort not just temporarily, but perhaps for many, many years.

It was an arduous task.

"I'll miss you too..."

We walked outside the manor, seeing our friends and family ready to depart.

With mom and dad, we looked at the manor in silence.

Our servants also waved their hands at us, wishing us a good trip.

"Please take care, Lady Faylen, Lord Allan!"

"Young Lady Sylphy, I wish you the best!"

"Young master Zephy, please take care!"

"We will take good care of everything until you return!"

"Thank you everyone," my mother smiled. "Let's go."

She led our party to the airport.

And this was the last time I saw my house for several years.
