Chapter 152 Steps Into Motherhood

After getting new clothes from the tailoring maid, Elysia, Shaman and Clara made their way back to their rooms.

Shaman planned to take Silver out to explore Freya forest and so she got into some casual clothes.

Shaman put on a pair of black leggings alongside a white strapless bra. On top of that, she wore a white sweater that had its back and shoulders exposed, leaving her hair to cover her exposed backside. Saman also noticed she had regained a bit of chest. Although the change was relatively small, at least she was no longer a cutting board.

"I have to say, I look a lot better being taller." Shaman looked at herself in the mirror, finding herself to look a lot more mature rather than cute.

"Oh, why can't the night already arrive." Elysia rolled around on the bed, wanting the day to be over already. Elysia had also changed some of her clothes and went with a red skin-tight sweater that tucked into her skirt.

"Patience, first we have a son to attend to and you need to shape up your act as his second mother." Shaman knew that Elysia did not have that same motherly feeling for Silver, but Shaman still wanted Elysia to try her best.

*sigh* "I know, but I don't know how. Having a son randomly like this still feels weird." Elysia was rather conflicted as she wanted a blood-related son, but at the same time, Silver is possibly the closest thing they will get to one.

"Hmm I understand, but try to embrace the situation. Silver is still rather young, so take advantage of that and let's have a fun time together, as a family." Shaman turned around with a smile, making Elysia blush and look away.

"W-well he already calls me mama." Elysia spoke in a low voice while she poked her fingers together a little embarrassed.

"Ehhh? Since when? That is so adorable." Shaman was shocked to hear that Silver was already calling Elysia his mum.

"Anyway, That gives you more of a reason to be his mother. Come on let's go, I'm sure he is waiting for us." Shaman was unaware that Silver already considered Elysia as his second mother, which made things a whole lot easier.

Shaman came up to Elysia, pulling on her hand to get her up. Elysia dragged herself off the bed after which she was pulled along by Shaman out of the room.

Shaman and Elysia quickly paid a visit to Clara who was in her room to see if she wanted to tag along, but Clara decided to stay in the mansion to do some personal training. However, the real reason was she didn't want to be a third wheel or ruin their family time.

Shaman and Elysia stood in front of a room that one of the maids told them was Silver's new room.

Shaman was filled with excitement, wondering what kind of clothes he was given.

'He should only be a little bit shorter than me and looks around 13.' Shaman tried to guess what Silver's age could be as it was never really clear when he was a wolf.

Shaman knocked on the door, waiting patiently for Silver to open.

After a few moments, the door started to open and a pair of wolf ears poked around the corner. Silver, timidly peeking from behind the door, checked to see who it was, but upon seeing it was Shaman he swung the door open.

Silver revealed his new clothes and Shaman was impressed with the selection. Silver wore a black hoodie with a dark grey jacket over the top and a pair of black jeans. The clothes matched his silver hair and made his bright blue eyes stand out even more.

Silver was a little embarrassed seeing the looks Shaman and Elysia were giving him.

"Ahhhh! You look so good." Shaman finally spoke and quickly went up to Silver hugging him. However, Silver noticed Shaman had gotten taller and was a bit confused about what happened.

"Wait mother, since when did you get taller?"

"Oh, After you left me and Elysia got a fox form and it undid a certain spell that a damn god or goddess put on me." Shaman looked up to the roof hoping her glare reached whoever did it to her.

"You can turn into an animal now? Can I see?" Silver was curious, wondering what their forms would be like.

"Haha not right now, first let us go explore a bit in town." Shaman wouldn't mind showing SIlver but they still needed to play around with switching forms before they started changing forms whenever they wanted.

Shaman pulled away from Silver and was about to start walking.

"B-but I want to see you as a cute fox." Silver pouted, hitting the heartstrings of Shaman.

'Oh is this the weakness where mothers can't resist the upset face of their son?' Shaman was close to falling over just from how cute Silver looked.

Elysia let out a sigh, managing to resist the cuteness, but still finding it hard to say no.

Meanwhile, Shaman pulled herself together and regained her composure, firming her resolve to resist Silver's cuteness.

'If I'm going to be a good mother I cannot be swayed by his cuteness, I mustn't fall into this cycle of letting him get what he wants just because he is so damn adorable.' Shaman mentally prepared herself, as she was trying her best to be a good parent.

"If you can be a good boy, I will make sure to show you once me and Elysia are done testing the skill, is that okay?" Shaman slightly leaned forward and gave Silver a head pat.

"I guess that's fine." Silver was a little disappointed, but he understood he'll get his wish, so waiting wasn't too bad.

"Alright, onward." Shaman grabbed Silver's hand while Elysia positioned herself on his other side.

Shaman made sure that the tips of her hair were completely white and that Elysia's were completely black.

Making their way down the street, Shaman saw that the place looked rather suburban. The buildings looked rather modern and she felt like she was back in her own world.

Silver ended up grabbing Elysia's hand, which was rather odd for her. Elysia's crazy side did not get aggravated or annoyed, but instead felt great joy about the situation.

'It really feels like we are a family.' This feeling of happiness was something Elysia seemingly desired and did not want to go away. Remembering the words Shaman told her before they left, she decided to not hold herself back and embrace the situation.

Elysia broke out with a genuine smile, making Shaman happy, seeing as Elysia was finally accepting the situation.

As they continued to walk down the streets, they found themselves in a sort of food court with a bunch of stalls on the side of the street, as well as a few stores of various foods.

Silver's eyes lit up as he spotted many things that he wanted to try which he wouldn't have been able to in his wolf form.

Shaman gulped slightly, hoping they had enough gold coins as she was unsure what the prices of things were here.

"Mother, I want to try that." Silver was drooling at the mouth as he pointed at a stall that was serving small pieces of meat on a stick.

"Aha, of course you would go for the meat option. They are called kebabs, I think." Shaman was rather unsure if that was the right word for it, but figured most things were named the same, most likely due to multiple people having been transported here.

Walking up to the stand, Shaman ordered a few kebabs for everyone and was grateful that the prices were in silver.

Passing over to Silver a few kebabs, he instantly started devouring the food like it was nothing and before they knew it, it was all already gone. Shaman and Elysia had not even taken a bite out of theirs and Silver was already done.

"That was quick." Elysia was surprised as she thought she was the one with quite the appetite.

"Hehe~ I want to try your cooking, mama." Silver turned to Elysia, remembering there were many meals that he wasn't allowed to have.

'AHHH sooo cute.' Shaman was internally screaming watching the scene unfold.

"Oh, of course, I will cook you something for dinner tonight then." Elysia had not cooked in a while thanks to Freja's maids taking care of most of the chores and liked the idea of cooking again.

"Yay!" Silver smiled as so far he was having the best day of his life.

'To think he has killed a person before' Shaman thought back and could not believe such an innocent-looking boy had already killed many people before.

'I wish I could protect that innocence forever, but maybe it's for the best that he isn't sensitive to murder. He was rather excited about that scythe.' Shaman, if she had the choice, would have liked Silver to stay out of conflicts, but he was an important part of their group and unfortunately, Silver was used to the murder.

'Well, I should enjoy these moments while they last.' Deciding that there was no point in thinking about it, Shaman went back to enjoying their day out.

Continuing to walk down the street, they kept trying out different kinds of food as they enjoyed the time they had together as a family would.
