Chapter 653 Back Home For Some Well-Deserved Vacations



-----

"We're back home!" Erika and I stepped inside our house, the moment we did, two adorable little kids rushed to our side.

"Big sis! Big brother!"

It has been half a year since we've seen Allan and Anna, and we were really happy. The two of them jumped over us and hugged us tightly.

"I missed you two!" Cried Allan.

"You're finally back, big bro! Look!" Anna said, summoning her spirit.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Anna's Golden Bell was summoned, as it made a loud sound. The Spirit itself seemed happy as well to see us, even though we couldn't really tell with it not having a face at all.

FLAAASH!

However, that wasn't all, the small bell conjured a special ability, as we felt suddenly stronger. Our Mana and Health suddenly enhanced their regeneration speed by several times over…

The Grimoire explained to me this mysterious new spell.

[The Golden Bell has conjured the [Revitalizing Chime] Spell!]

[For 30 Minutes, all of your MP and HP Recovery Speed has increase by +300%, and your maximum recovery of MP and HP has increased by +100%.]

It was an incredible buff like nothing we've seen before… If we could had have this back then when fighting the demons, things might have been much easier.

"Woah! This is one amazing buff!" Said Erika. "Did you develop this? Well done, Anna!" Erika gave her a head pat.

"Hehehe, right? I'm awesome!" Anna puffed her chest.

"It is indeed incredible." I nodded, giving my little sister a head pat as well.

?ℎ? ?ℎ? ? ? ?

"M-Me too!" Allan said while pouting, summoning his Silver Flute, and singing a melody with it.

[The Silver Flute has conjured the [Strengthening Melody] Spell!]

[For 30 Minutes, Strength, Vitality, Agility, and Dexterity have increased by +50%.]

"Huh?! This one just as crazy!" Erika felt stronger in a flash.

"Amazing! Both of you, well done. It seems you've been practicing magic every day as I taught you?" I asked.

I had taught my two twin siblings to level up their skills and increase their maximum amount of Mana and Ki through activating the skills and spells constantly, and then taking short breaks whenever they felt slightly tired.

It seems they have followed such a regime completely, as they had grown much stronger. I could sense that in just half a year, their Ki and Magic Power has increased by more than double.

And if they learned a new Skill, it probably meant they earned tons of proficiency too, their skills must be really high level. Good, I am quite proud of their growth, if they continue training like this for a few more years, when they hit ten years of age, they will be incredibly strong.

"Well done, you two." I said with a smile. "I've prepared some gifts for you two."

I quickly took out two bags filled with goods from my Grimoire.

"Woow! What's this, big brother?!" Wondered Anna, feeling excited as she opened the bag.

"Oooh! G-Gifts for us?" Allan said in surprise.

The two opened their bags, finding tons of candies, chocolates, fruits, and snacks I've bought in Stronghold that were recipes from all over the world. Thanks to the inventory, I can keep these fresh, just like the moment I bought them.I think you should take a look at

"So many snacks!" Anna was so happy.

"What is this brown thing? It is yummy!" Allan said.

"That is chocolate, a special candy elves make using the seed of cacao." I said with a smile.

"And what this soft thingy?" Wondered Anna.

"That is a marshmallow!" Erika said happily. "It is something the people of the north make; it is soft and fluffy and sweet!"

"Alright, don't eat it all now, save for later, alright?" I asked with a giggle, giving them head pats, and hugging them again.

I love both of them so much, they're my precious little siblings. They're another of the things Asmodeus always wished he could have had in his life, people I must treasure and protect with my life.

"What's going on, Allan? Anna?" Wondered my mother, suddenly stepping in. "Eh?! Blake! Erika! You're back already?!"

"Wait, what?!" The voice of my father echoed from afar.

"The kids are back you said?!" Grandmother screamed from within the bathroom.

"Hahah, we're back home!" I laughed, as they all greeted us happily.

"We're back! I've missed you all!" Erika said happily.

My parents hugged us both tightly, and my grandmother gave me several kisses over my face. She looked fine as well, hopefully she can live for many more years. She's a strong woman, so I am sure she will.

"How was the Academy? I did heard from the letter you sent that you went to dungeons!" My mother said. "Is it true?!"

"Yep! We beat them all amazingly!" Erika said. "I got the best grades too! Heheh!"

"Well not that good in math." I said.

"Geh…" Erika sighed.

"Anyways, we need to show you someone special." I said, opening the door, as a beautiful pink-haired lady entered the house slowly.

Her clothes looked like those of a noble, her purple eyes glowing brightly, with powerful magic authority. Her slightly gothic attire and her big witch hat shocked my family.

"This is Cattalina, a Magic Theory, Alchemy, and Monster Biology Teacher in our Academy." I said, my family feeling flabbergasted I brought a strange to our house.

"And she's my mom too!" Erika said, hugging her.

Cattalina was extremely nervous to meet Erika's adoptive family, she was paralyzed.

"I-It is nice to m-meet you all…" She bowed her head. "I… I am really grateful you've taken care of my child for all these years, thank you so much."

"Eeeh?! Erika's mom?!" My father asked in surprise.

"I-I knew it! Her hair is just the same color!" Said my mother.

"Oh my, so Erika's mom was such a beautiful young lady! A-And those ears, is she…?!" Asked my grandmother.

"Mother don't be rude!" My mom reprimanded grandma.

"Hahah, it is fine. Yes, I am a half-elf." Cattalina smiled, her charming smile quickly won everybody's hearts.
