When I got back home, Rita went to her home, which wasn't that faraway from mine, and I quickly decided to cook some lunch while it was still relatively early. Elena had been gaming all day as usual, so I was able to take a peek at her in her room with that helmet on. I think she should stop playing for so long though…

"Hmm, it has been a while since we ate pasta…" I said, looking at the boiling ingredients of the pasta sauce. I had added a good amount of variety, from carrots cut into tiny pieces, onions, garlic, oregano, fresh tomatoes, minced meat, and also the bags of tomato sauce. My family has always loved my pasta sauce.

"And what's better than with some spinach ravioli?" I said, as I saw the ravioli almost ready to serve as they boiled in the clean water which I had added some oil and salt.

I quickly sent a message to Elena, which she received in-game, and she quickly logged out and walked outside of her room, looking at me with a sleepy expression. However, her eyes opened wide open the moment she smelled the scent of the pasta sauce.

"Pasta?" She wondered.

"Spinach Ravioli!" I said.

"Oooh! Been a while since we had that… Are they fresh?" She wondered.

"Obviously! We bought them in that shop that makes fresh pasta. I also brought some parmesan from there." I said with a smile.

"Nice!" Elena seemed truly happy, she had always loved my sauce with spinach ravioli, her favorites.

After serving, we began eating happily. However, Elena quickly brought up something.

"Ah, right… Mom, there's a sleepover over Elisa's place, can I go? I'm going with Anna." Said Elena.

"Sleepover with Elisa? Oh… Right." I said.

Elisa was… Erm, who was she?



Ah right! That blonde girl that was apparently rich or something? She comes here sometimes, and she's really friendly with me, but has some sort of rivalry with Anna. That girl is a bit troublesome, and friendship with someone with so much money might be actually quite dangerous.

What if they target Elena and Anna for something? After all, why would such a girl be interested in our humble family? Now that I realize, she really has the power to easily ruin our lives if she wanted. Rich people is… indeed, quite dangerous.

But I've seen her so many days as well, and she's always nice and cute. She said her parents are often not even present for her. I was surprised she got so happy when I served her homemade food too.

Hmm… What should I do?

"She said that you can come over to her house too, if you can't trust her." Elena said.

"Eh? Really? And when's that?" I wondered.

"Maybe tomorrow? We are going to see grandma and grandpa in two days, right? So we can manage." Elena seemed pumped up about going to meet Elisa.

"I-I guess we can go then…" I sighed.

"Alright, I'll tell her." Elena quickly texted Elisa over.

"And done… We are going tomorrow at around 5 PM, and we'll stay over the night." She said as her eyes shone. It felt as if she wanted something out of this… I hope my daughter is not playing with fire.

"O-Okay…" I sighed. "But I see you're pumped up; you really care about Elisa?" I wondered.

"Yeah, she's a good friend. We always are in a party in the game." Said Elena.

Of course, the game has to be… I guess she has shared a lot more moments with her in that game than in real life, but that doesn't mean they're not friends at the end of the day.

"Sigh… Well, I'll trust you." I said, petting my daughter. "I'll go rest for now."

After I washed the dishes, I quickly ran back to my room to log into the game as well. I felt rather faulty, however, as I've become completely addicted to it myself. And I just wanted to log-in to meet the fairies again, and especially my friends in there.

FLASH!

When I opened my eyes, I found myself within the interior of the room of the Fairy Queen within the Fairy Castle.

"Ah, I ended logging out in here, huh… Eh?"

And then I found Queen Titania who was stark naked, looking inside of her wardrobe for a dress to wear. Damn, her body was beautiful and pale white, like porcelain. Is it possible for someone to be this perfectly beautiful?!

"E-Eh? P-Planta?!" She cried, as the Fairy Queen desperately covered her private parts, but I already saw them all…

"Uwaaah! S-Sorry!" I cried, quickly running outside of her room. I felt an enormous sense of guilty eating away my entire soul. This was… I did something horrible!

At the end, Titania walked outside and decided to pretend that nothing happened, although I was still apologizing to her when the rest of my party gathered in the living room where we had tea the last time.

"I'm really sorry, Titania…" I cried.

"I-It is fine, Planta. You're also a woman like me, it is not so bad." Sighed Titania, petting my head.

"Ah… well… Okay." I sighed.

"What did just happened between you two?" Rita wondered while squinting her eyes at us.

"Rita, it would be better to not ask these types of things if possible." Titan said.

"Hmm, this cake is so good! I have never eaten something so sweet before!" Acorn was completely concentrated into eating a strawberry shortcake happily.

"Hehe, Acorn seems to be in love with the cake." Nieve said with a smile, Florie was also at her side, over yesterday, she had gotten way better and was invited here.

"Acorn, don't eat all the cake!" Florie complained.

"But it is so tasty! I can't stop…!" Acorn had a very sweet tooth, maybe because he was a rodent.

"A-Anyways, today it is the day, isn't it?" Wondered the Queen.

"Yes… We are going to the Miasma Swamps to defeat the Venomous Snake Queen." I said filled with confidence.
