After calming down my brother who still couldn't believe my daughter made a rich friend, we quickly made our way home. Seeing all the horsies and cows made me feel filled with nostalgia. And the adorable chickens walking around freely while eating grains. Oh, and the ducks in our nearby pond too! So cute! I really wanted to grab one and pet it like I used to do when I was younger.
"Elayne just how big is your family?" Mark wondered.
"So you haven't even introduced us to him?!" Harry felt attacked by this.
"W-Well… Yeah," I sighed. "Anyways, I am the eldest sister, then there's Harry who's the only male sibling. Then there's my other two sisters, Mary and Henrietta. Mary is around 27 and has two twin daughters named Camilla and Tereza, and Henrietta is our youngest baby sister at around 21! Oh and that's without mentioning our two uncles living with us, and also their kids! Oh yeah, and mama and papa too."
"A-Amazing, the family's bigger than I could had expected…" Anna muttered.
"Such a big family…" Elisa seemed amazed as well, but in a different way. "I wish my family could be as big… I would never feel alone…"
"Young lady…" Steiner sighed, looking at her with a bit of pity.
"You get really tired of it." Elena said, breaking the tension. "Especially because everyone is corny and clingy like mom."
"Geh… That hurts!" I said with my brother, almost synchronized.
"I don't know but I would just never get tired of it!" Elisa said.
"Well, if you're our Elena's good friend then you're part of the family already!" Harry said with a smile, giving her a head pat. Steiner glared at him with a killing stare but allowed him to give her a head pat.
"R-Really?!" Elisa asked, her smile was like a sunshine.
"Y-Yeah…" Harry said, quickly whispering me a question. "Hey sis, is she like… an orphan or something?"
"Oh no, it's just that… her parents are separated and Elisa has lived most of her childhood without them, being raised by her servants." I whispered back.
"Oh my, poor girl." Harry sighed. "It is just like those novels mom reads! Is the life of rich people this tragic?!"
"Shut up you're talking too loud now!" I reprimanded him, giving him a rather hard smack in the head.
BONK!
"Ouch! S-Sorry…"
"So many animals! Cows, horsies, even ducks!" Elisa was enchanted by the scenery and the animals. "Elena you never told me about your family having all of this!"
"Yeah, talking about being a country girl is not something… that would be good in the school we're going, Elisa." Elena said.
"Y-Yeah, some of the girls at our class are really… classist. If they were to know she was a country girl they would bully Elena to no end." Sighed Anna.
"HUH?! What's there to be bullied about something so wonderful? They're all braindead idiots!" Elisa said while pouting.
"Like she said, this place's quite inspiring to be honest." Mark sighed. "Can we go see the animals later?" He seemed excited about petting the farm animals.
"Sure thing!" I said happily. "I can even teach you how to get milk from the cows, and how to grab eggs from the hen's nests stealthily!"
"And how to clean poop." Harry glanced back at Mark with a creepy smile.
"Y-Yeah, sure…" Mark said while feeling slightly pressured.
When we arrived at our home, we were greeted by two little girls, only four years of age, who offered us some flowers they picked up. Both were like angels, with long blonde hair and shiny blue eyes, although they still had our brown skin. They were the twins Camilla and Tereza, my sister's daughters.
"Auntie!"
"Flowie…!"
"Awww, for me? How have you been? Where's your mama at?"
I quickly hugged the two of them, who were so sweet they reminded me of my Elena when she was a little toddler too.
"Guud…" Camilla began munching a cookie she retrieved from her pouch.
"Mama's… kitche!" Said Tereza, trying to make up her words. The two girls pointed at the kitchen.
"Elayne! Are you there? Come right now! We need your help with this thing!" My mother's voice echoed from the kitchen.
"Come on mom, can't we leave this aside for a bit?!" My sister asked, this was clearly Mary's voice, the eldest of my siblings at 29 I think. Though I always say she's younger because that's how we are.
"Fine, fine!"
My mother and Mary quickly ran towards us. Mama's hands were all covered on blood though, while Mary at least washed her own.
"Hey there! Elayneeee!" Mary ran to my side and hugged me, kissing me all over my face. "Big sis I've missed you for a while now! You're looking gorgeous as ever~!"
"Hahaha, you too Mary! Did you change your hair? It's way more shiny!" I said.
"Yeah you noticed?!" Mary laughed.
We got along quite well with my sister, we shared a lot of similarities.
"Oh my, Rita!" Mary greeted Rita.
"Mary!" Rita and Mary were obviously good friends.
"Alright, who's here making so much fuss around- Huh? Hey, you brought a bunch of uninvited people here!" My mother got slightly angry.
Mom was already almost in her sixties yet she still looked quite young and gorgeous. Tall, with only a few winkles, sharp emerald eyes, long brown hair, she had always been very strong physically as well.
…And a bit grumpy.
"D-Don't be rude now mommy!" I sighed, quickly telling her to go wash her hands, as I decided to slowly introduce everyone to her.
While that happened, papa also came, he was definitely smaller than mother. I don't know where mom got her genes, but all the women of our family had always been taller than the males. Father was slightly older already over sixty but looked just as handsome as I remember him. He had a way longer gray bear now though.
"YOU BROUGHT A BOYFRIEND?!"
And the two reacted the same way my little brother did when I presented them Mark.
"Geez, I said he's not my boyfriend!"
