After summoning Bubu, I moved back to the city to find Silva flying to my side, after she had finished summoning all she wanted at the end of the week, she had grown rather tired, and had slept a lot before doing the last summons for today.
This was the day we were leaving towards the Ankh Desert. As I had requested before to Floresse, I wanted the elves to offer their MP to me so we could summon more creatures with Silva's powers. The existence of Silva as a whole is unknown, however. As they simply believe I have the dungeon powers myself, of course, Silva is a small knife so when she flies over the sky nobody can easily spot her, this is how she got to me.
"Mama, I'm tired…" She cried.
"Okay dear, you've worked a lot this week, how about you rest?" I wondered.
"Oway…" Silva quickly decided to go into my Item Box, which had become her new spot to "rest". According to her, it is very peaceful in there and she can sleep all she wants.
She had summoned around three hundred Skeleton Knights, Orc Warriors, Golems, and Fire Salamanders mixed together; it was a good enough size for an army. I wanted to exploit it into the dungeon we might find. I know many of them might die, but they're all disposable summons anyways, as long as we get Silva more MP, she can bring out some more.
I went back to the house of Floresse as I found everybody almost ready to depart. Sol was also coming alongside Elfina, and even Luminous wanted to come as well. The Elven Forest was going to be protected by the Elven King and Queen, who seemingly were going to erect and reinforce a barrier. Of course, with the threat of the demons being far away and the humans being completely destroyed, it is not as if they have anything to fear other than wild monsters.
"So you're really going, huh… This is too dangerous, Elfina, have you really considered it?" I sighed.
"I am going!" Elfina protested. I had currently taken my giant butterfly form because it was easier to fly on it.
"But this is the Demon King, and the Ankh Desert is like super dangerous…" I sighed.
"My Lady has already decided to come, Kireina. So it is better to not annoy her over it." Fiere said, her loyal maid was at her side. I guess I could trust her into protecting Elfina.
"Alright then, I won't keep bothering you." I sighed. My enormous butterfly form was majestically terrifying, so most of the servants in the house were keeping themselves very far away from me. Since I evolved that I began emanating a very strong chaotic aura, but Elfina, Fiere, and Luminous seem mostly immune to it while Sol sometimes recoils from it.
"Good!" Elfina said while crossing her arms. She sheathed a Magic Rapier she had requested to be custom made out of the bones of the Black Wyvern the Emperor had mounted to come here, and it seemed quite powerful as a magic item. I guess she'll be using that from now on.
"T-Take Care, Elfina!"
"Please be careful… Make sure to not get in the way of the others, you should stay behind them as a support magician, okay?"
Her father and mother were here to say goodbyes, hugging and kissing their daughter. She had already grown up but they still treated her like a baby- Ah well, I do the same for my own children, even the big Amiphossia and Ryo get treated like my babies.
Well, they're still my babies!
Uwah, seeing this really makes me miss my baby girl and my baby boy, and all the other precious babies I have… I wonder how they're doing…
Don't worry, mama is getting there soon, so wait for me!
"I-I'm fine, mom, dad! I've grown a bit since then… I am stronger and also have a greater will this time. I'll take care of myself and get this done with." Elfina said slightly stubbornly.
"T-Then go on, you can do it." Her father said, petting her shoulders.
"Hm, we trust you." Said her mother.
"Don't worry, we'll take good care of her." Luminous reassured the King and the Queen.
"Thank you, Luminous-sama." Said the Queen. "I trust the power of the Last God."
"The Guardian of the Forest is protecting our daughter; I suppose we can rest easy." Sighed her father.
"Hey! What about me? Don't I give you any reassurance?" I asked rather offended.
"W-Well… yeah." Said the King. "I suppose Kireina is also… strong."
"Sorry Kireina but sometimes you're a bit too crazy so it is hard to trust you- Not like I am ungrateful for that time you freed me from the demon and also destroyed the demon armies! Y-You've certainly done a lot!"
"Yeah! T-That's right! Sorry for offending you, we shouldn't had said that out of nowhere…" The King sighed.
"Hmm, fine, I guess I am not really someone that awakens trust in people even after all I do. It is natural. I suppose my people trust me more than you guys…" I sighed. I felt slightly down.
"Mom, Dad, what did you do now?!" Elfina reprimanded her parents.
"Sorry, it wasn't our intention to say that!" Cried her mother.
"Kireina, please forgive us! We are sorry!" The king cried.
"Ugh… It's fine, whatever…" I sighed, flying away.
It was better to not get too attached to these people this way anyways. I don't even know when I'll be back here. This is merely just a Side Quest in game terms, I don't have to get too attached.
"Take care, Kireina. We'll always remember all the help you've given to our Country." Said Floresse, caressing my abdomen.
"Ah, no worries." I said.
"Can you turn back into your humanoid form for a bit?" She asked sweetly.
"Huh? Sure."
As I turned back to my little girl form, Floresse hugged me tightly.
"E-Eh?!"
