    After filling myself with pancakes and orange juice I felt like starting the day and do some work, but my parents quickly stopped me from escaping their clutches…


    "Young Lady, you can''t leave yet. I know you''ve got your own problems and you''re busy, but we need to adress more things." My mother said with a rather… intimidating tone of voice.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    "It''s nothing bad, we just need to talk about what happened there in more detail, and about Sarach, Arachne, and their connection with what''s happening in the other side of the continent, in the Wild Lands." My father said. "And of course, we are quite worried about those future hero children''s fates."


    "We''ve put our own problems before those of these people, and I now feel rather… bad with myself. If they''re really being chased by that new Demon Lord that popped out of nowhere, it would be better if we could adress things and n something to stop her." My mother said.


    "I agree… Now that I am a grown up, you''re including me in your ns?" I wondered.


    "Of course." My mother nodded. "You''re more than proven your ability and strength, Sylphy. Though you still have to help the other people in the other task I gave to you. That task is so you can prove your sense of responsibility and ability with alchemy, while you''ve proven your strength, you have yet to prove those other twopletely."


    "I know…" I sighed. "I''ll get it done through the week."


    "Good girl." My mother gave me a kiss in my forehead.


    "Now let''s go, Aquarina''s family should have arrived by now." My father said. "Here, let me carry you-"


    "D-Dad, I am already big! Don''t carry me like a baby!" I said while feeling slightly embarrassed, he really just tried to carry me like back then!


    "Ah, my bad! Hahaha, just force of habit." Heughed while apologizing. "Then Zephy would surely not mind me carrying him?"


    "Papa, give me piggyback!" Zephy happily epted father''s pampering, as he was carried.


    After that, we gathered in the reunion hall of our overly massive manor and then we found Aquarina, Zack, Celeste, Celica, and Mist. Everyone that participated in that battle were called after all. Because this was a "formal" meeting between nobles, which also included the other heads of the noble families living here, we all had to dress really fancy.


    Every of my friends was wearing some over the top and rather fancy, gorgeous dress. I was wearing apletely red one with white frills and green roses. Alice said it resembled a Christmas themed dress but I didn''t knew what Christmas was, probably another weird thing from this "Earth".


    "Sylphy! Are you feeling better now?" Aquarina wondered while feeling worried, hugging me tightly.


    Aquarina was wearing an adorable blue dress with water decorations, and shiny white heels. She looked utterly adorable and my eyes were stuck on her cute ponytail as well, she looked so different from usual it was a delight to see.


    "Yeah I am feeling way better now, especially now that you''re here." I gave her a head pat.


    "I was so worried when you fell unconscious…" She sighed


    "Don''t worry about it, I am super alright now!" I said with confidence. "Mom''s pancakes healed mepletely!"<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Your mom''s pancakes…?" She wondered,pletely confused.


    "Sylphyyyy!" Mist showed up. "Aquarina! Hi! Are you feeling alright?"


    "This little goober was all sad about you because you fell asleep after that battle." Celeste sighed. "Feeling better now, girl?"


    "Yeah, you don''t have to worry about me." I said pridefully. After all, I have an HP stat that doesn''t go down. Unless I am ground to bits I will be fine after healing.


    Everyone else was fancy too, Mist with a white dress making her look more white than snow, Celeste had a ck with dark blue dress, and she kind of sported it really well with her witch fashion.


    "Hey, I see you''re doing alright I guess." Zack said with a greeting.


    "Oooh, I love your dresses girls!" Said Celica.


    Meanwhile, Zack wore more formal clothing that males wear, it was ck with a white shirt and a green-colored ne, his hair being all tied down into a braid behind him made him look slightly hrious. Lastly, Celica was wearing a simr dress than the one she often wears. Unlike us, she always wears fancy clothing, she really loves it.


    "Well, we are here Lady Faylen, you''ve decided to keep this topic a secret until we arrived here, but what sort of topic did you wanted to discuss?" Wondered one noble.


    "Indeed, it is a rather weing party but… I am quite worried…" Said another.


    "It''s monsters, right?" Cried a nobledy.


    "Geez, calm down you three." My mother sighed. "Well, let''s adress the most basic things that happened and slowly exin everything that happened…"


    Like that, my parents gave an exnation of what happened ording to what we exined to her truthfully. We also talked about the three nymph goddesses resurrected wills and the sea dragon, and of course, about Sarach, Arachne, and the Cult of Lolth.


    The nobles were left speechless, but once that was exined properly, they calmed down. They started looking at us with new eyes as well, realizing how strong we were, perhaps. Nheless, once things were exined, we moved to the next topic.


    "Arachne, just who is she? I don''t remember her being any Demon Lord." Said my father. "And this Sarach guy neither… These arepletely new threats. Has the new Demon King be reborn once more and created Demon Lords, and is trying to exclusively target us?"


    "I don''t… remember anybody named like this." Said my mother. "But it would make sense if she''s an Arachspider if she''s part of the Lolth Cult."


    "I remember her, I remember all of the Demon Lords and their Apprentices." Said Shade, summoning a ck Grimoire out of thin air and beginning to read it. "This is the Abyssal Grimoire of Records, where I keep record of many things since we got it.
