Chapter 263 Planning To Visit A Town
-----
Without context, my mother found the two of us resting over the grass and reprimanded us for being lazy girls. I wanted to explain to her that we were sparring, but that would mean I would have to hear her telling me that I shouldn't be such a masochist about gaining endurance in my body or something… So we kept it a secret with Aquarina, and we just accepted her reprimands. After that, we were finally able to eat some breakfast with everybody else. I had gained a nice amount of Skill Proficiency over the sparring, but it seemed that Aquarina disliked going around hitting me so much.
Honestly this girl is way softer than she makes herself up to be. Well, she had always been a soft, shy, and adorable little treasure, so I can understand that despite her trying to be strong, it still makes her feel weird and bad to fight so much, so I decided to just not ask her about sparring for some time, I still got Zack for it, and although he says that he dislikes hitting girls, he always ends up coming for more from me, he's a resentful fighter and constantly says that one day he'll get me… I guess I can always ask him for help.
"So today we are going to the town, Sylphy you better stay with us and not wander around, okay? You may get lost, this is also going to be like your first time seeing so many people, so you must take care of yourself." Said my father.
"Eh? But I've gone off into the jungle on my own before…" I said. "I don't know why a town would be of any concern…"
"Well, that's true but… Well, you do what I say, or your mother is going to get angry with me." Said my father, he seemed unwavering.
"Okay…" I sighed.
I felt like I wanted to protest, but my father was also the victim here, he really didn't wanted to enrage my mother, so I kind of understood his point of view and how he just wanted to have a nice day with everybody else… I will have to just hold into his hand and go around with them… Doesn't seem too hard to do.
"Yeah, you better stay with us, Sylphy, I don't want any problems while we explore the town, the least thing I would want is my daughter getting lost in that big town…" She sighed. "I know we could find you if that happens but we'll make a big fuss, and the least thing I want is to bring attention to us, we'll already be using magic to try to mask our identities, but as heroes our faces were widespread all around the continent, even in this mildly isolated area of the continent I am sure that some will recognize us." My mother seemed to have good reasons to be worried about making a fuss, not bringing attention.
As heroes, they had done many things their faces were somehow widespread by the large empire of this continent as some sort of propaganda of human supremacy, apparently, and every human here loves the heroes, but at the same time, because they suddenly disappeared one day and the Empire had been trying to locate them as much as they could to force them to work for them again, anyone that were to see them would be dangerous as they would easily report it to the Empire one way or the other… Even in this small town.
That's why they'll be using illusion magic to mask their face features a bit and make them different than the depictions of them that we might find, which often tend to be strangely accurate. I don't know how much this illusion magic works but it seems that it doesn't affect me but everybody not related to them. I guess only magicians like them could create such overly specific effects.
"Can we buy tasty food there?" Asked Aquarina. "I want something sweet!" Aquarina said happily, as she seemed excited of the trip there despite the restrictions.
"Yeah that's the plan, we'll grab a lot of food, we need to refill our provisions enough to get through the last kilometers before reaching the coast." Said Shade. "I'll buy anything you want, Aquarina."
"Really papa? Thank you!" Said Aquarina, jumping over her father and hugging him while sitting over his legs. Nepheline looked at the two a bit tired, while raising an eyebrow, it seems she disliked how she was so spoiled sometimes.
"You're spoiling her a bit too much." Sighed Nepheline, as Shade caressed his daughter's hair while kissing her cheeks and forehead.
"That's because papa is very nice!" Said Aquarina.
"Yeah, I am the nicest dad." Said Shade, he had changed a bit and had become overly affectionate with Aquarina nowadays, I think something that my father told him made him realize he had to not bottle up his emotions so much. "And my Aquarina is the cutest girl…" Shade continued kissing Aquarina's face, as the little girl giggled adorably, that was so cute…
"W-Wha…? I-I will also buy you anything you want, Sylphy!" Said my father, as if he was competing with Shade.
"Daddy you don't have to be competitive over this kind of stuff…" I sighed.
"I-It is really nothing!" He said. "And I am not competing, I can easily buy anything anyways, not like they'll sell anything overly expensive that'll you want from there, right?" He said while winking at me and extending his arms… I guess he wanted me to hug him.
"Yaaaay!" I said rather boringly, I just wanted to explore on my own. I guess getting whatever I want is nice but its not like we'll be visiting some sort of luxury shop where they sell legendary equipment or something.
I hugged my father so he could feel better with himself, and I ended sitting on his lap over the entire breakfast until it was finally time to go out.
