Floriana Sabina lifted her hand and looked at it. She checked every part of her body, and she was satisfied with it.

"This is amazing."

​​

Floriana Sabina murmured.

"Master Floriana, you're naked."

Rant Valo reminded her with a wry smile on his face.

"R-Right!"

Floriana Sabina realized it, and she waved her hand. A red cloth wrapped around her body that slowly changed shape and turned into a dress.

"Sister Floriana, is that something you just learned?!"

Veia asked Floriana Sabina in awe. She had never seen Floriana Sabina do that trick before.

"Yes. I instinctively know it."

Floriana Sabina nodded her head at Veia.

"Oh! I can't wait for the time I'll ascend."

Veia exclaimed in amazement.

"Fufufu. You have to drink a lot of my disciple's blood."

Floriana Sabina laughed.

"Yes, yes, yes! Master Husband, feed me!"

Veia ran to Rant Valo and embraced him loosely.

"Veia, take care of our children properly. We can do this later."

Rant Valo berated Veia with a frown.

"Y-Yes, Master Husband!"

Veia nodded her head obediently. She went back and took care of their children.

She crouched down and patted Tera's head with a smile. Tera is now already a small kid. She could walk, and she could understand things.

"Menova, mommy is back."

Floriana Sabina flew towards the other cradle and lifted a cute baby girl inside. She looked exactly like Floriana Sabina.

"Mama!"

She clawed at Floriana Sabina's face cutely. There was a wide smile on her face.

"Disciple, look she's so cute! Our baby is so cute!"

Floriana Sabina flew to Rant Valo with a smile. There was a proud smile on her face as she showed the baby to Rant Valo.

"She is cute. Just like you."

Rant Valo said to her with a smile.

"D-Disciple, why are you t-teasing me?"

Floriana Sabina's face turned red.

"Hehehe. Why wouldn't I? You both are so cute together."

Rant Valo laughed at her.

"Hmph! Stop saying that, stupid."

Floriana Sabina snorted and murmured softly.

"Master Husband, let's go."

Veia said to them. She had a smile on her face while she held Tera's hand.

"Alright. Let's go back home."

Rant Valo nodded his head and flew into the skies with them. They returned back into their home in a secluded forest.

"Mommy, can I cultivate already?"

Tera asked Veia as they flew.

"Mm? You got inspired by your Auntie Floriana?"

Veia asked Tera with a smile.

"Yes. She's so powerful."

Tera nodded her head and said to her with shining eyes.

"That's good. When we get home, I'll teach you."

Veia said to her with a smile.

"Thank you, Mommy!"

Tera thanked her with a smile on her face.

It hadn't been mentioned but Rant Valo used his authority as the manager of the universe to remove Veia's vulnerability to the sun. Thus, she had already been wearing a frilly dress. She wasn't wearing her black and gloomy cloak from before.

And so, Tera was also able to walk around freely without fearing the sun.

…

It only took a few more minutes before they returned to their home.

It was a serene forest. There were bamboo trees all around and large thick trees covering the skies. Rant Valo and the rest walked through a mud path that they had created after living her for many years.

"Master Husband, can I teach Tera cultivation?"

Veia asked Rant Valo carefully.

"Cultivation?"

Rant Valo stopped walking and turned around to face them.

"Yes, Respected Father. I want to cultivate like Auntie Floriana."

Tera said to Rant Valo with a bow.

"Hm… Alright. First, find out her element. If it's not our expertise, we can find someone else to teach her."

Rant Valo said to her after thinking about it for a while.

"Thank you, Master Husband!"

Veia bowed her head to Rant Valo. Their status never changed that much. It actually wasn't Rant Valo's choice. When he asked, Veia said that she wanted to be his servant forever.

"No problem. Let's go inside and eat."

Rant Valo urged them all to continue walking.

…

"Sister Floriana, let me try your cooking…"

Veia said to Floriana Sabina. They were both standing in front of a makeshift stove.

Veia scooped a spoon out from the pot in front of Floriana Sabina and took it inside her mouth.

"How is it?"

Floriana Sabina asked Veia with a worried look on her face.

"Mmm… It's not burnt."

Veia smiled at Floriana Sabina awkwardly.

"...But the taste..?"

Floriana Sabina asked Veia worriedly.

"It's delicious."

Veia replied with a forced smile.

"Hmph! Just be honest! I can't improve if you keep sugarcoating it!"

Floriana Sabina snorted and shouted to Veia angrily.

"Okay! Don't hate me for this."

Veia nodded her head and said to her solemnly.

"I won't."

Floriana Sabina replied with gritted teeth. She was very nervous.

"It's... like I'm eating sugar."

Veia said to Floriana Sabina awkwardly.

"That bad?"

Floriana Sabina replied with a frown.

She was cooking a meat stew. Veia was even surprised that it was sweet. She didn't even see Floriana Sabina add any sugar in there. She got to have a talent for making weird tastes appear from foods.

"Mm."

Veia nodded her head solemnly.

"Sigh… Why can't I cook?"

Floriana Sabina sighed bleakly.

"It's okay, Sister Floriana. We have all the time in the world."

Veia said to Floriana Sabina in reassurance.

"You're right. I should just be patient."

Floriana Sabina nodded her head at Veia.

"Tera, come here."

Rant Valo was sitting on the table, and he called Tera.

"Yes, Respected Father?"

Tera walked towards him in puzzlement.

"Do you want to cultivate easily or hardly?"

Rant Valo asked her solemnly.

"H-Huh?"

Tera had confusion etched onto her face.

"This will decide how you would be cultivating."

Rant Valo said to her.

"I would choose easily, but since the respected father is asking me, then I'm choosing hardly."

Tera replied to Rant Valo.

"Oh."

Rant Valo looked at Tera in surprise. He didn't expect this little girl to be so smart.

"What's wrong, Respected Father?"

Tera asked Rant Valo with a tilt of her head.

"Nothing."

Rant Valo replied to her and patted her head.

"Go back and try to help your mother in the kitchen."

Rant Valo said to her with a smile.

"Okay, Respected Father."

Tera nodded her head and left.

She entered the kitchen where Floriana Sabina was being taught by Veia.

"Mommy, respected father said that I should help out."

Tera said to them.

"Oh, hi dear. Come, mix this bowl."

Veia pulled Tera into the kitchen. She gave her a bowl full of shrimp and seasonings.

"I got it."

Tera nodded her head. She stared at the bowl seriously before she used her hand and stirred it around. She stirred it until every shrimp was evenly coated with seasonings.

"You're doing good, Tera."

Floriana Sabina turned her head to Tera and praised her.

"Yes, Auntie Floriana."

Tera nodded her head with a smile.

"Hey! Stop staring at Tera and stir the pot."

Veia rebuked Floriana Sabina. She was getting distracted when she was supposed to cook.

"Y-Yes."

Floriana Sabina nodded her head and focused at the pot in front of her.

"That's already enough dear."

Veia said to Tera and took the bowl from her hand.

"Okay."

Tera nodded her head. Her hand were stained with spices.

"Wash your hand dear."

Veia said to her.

"Mommy, it's sticky…"

Tera complained to her.

"Sigh. Alright, I'll help you clean them."

Veia brought Tera to a basin full of water. She placed Tera's hand inside it and rubbed the seasonings off her hand.

"Mommy, respected father asked me if I want my cultivation to be easy."

Tera suddenly opened her mouth and said to her.

"Oh, then what did you say?"

Veia asked her in surprise while she continued rubbing the seasonings off Tera's hands.

"I said I want it to be easy, but since he asked it, my final answer was hard."

Tera said to her.

"What did he say?"

Veia asked with a smile on her face. She felt proud just hearing Tera's words.

"He was surprised."

Tera replied.

"Fufufu. Your father must be really impressed by you."

Veia laughed.

"Mm."

Tera nodded her head.

"Alright. It's done. You can go and play with Menova."

Veia said to Tera with a smile.

"Okay~! Thank you, mommy!"

Tera bid her farewell to Veia before she ran out of the kitchen.

...

Rant Valo was holding a piece of a twig in his hand. He poured mana into it and it glowed green. Suddenly, green sprouts grew from it.

"This power is really impressive."

Rant Valo murmured to himself.

"I wonder where Magicus and Novi are…"

Rant Valo murmured. He hadn't seen them even with his ability to scan the universe. It was as if they were invisible to his senses.

Knock Knock Knock

Suddenly, the door to their home was knocked. Rant Valo furrowed his eyebrows. He stood up and opened it.
