138 Having Lunch With Family
—–
After the sparring session, we moved to make lunch, but found out that mother had already woken up and was cooking for us.
“Oh~? You’re back! You made such a loud fuss playing around… it woke me up at the end… yawn… I don’t know but I’ve feeling rather tired all of a sudden…” she said with a sigh.
Well, now that I think about it, mother is over 600 years old… so it’s reasonable that she might grow tired… I don’t know how long elves live, but maybe she’s already approaching her late years… which might be hundreds of years away, but still.
I wonder if my father was always into older women… he seems to be a very young and energetic man… I’ve heard them on bed sometimes. I don’t want to sound like a pervert, but he really makes my mother happy. Her voice clearly tells that as the two… do it quite… erm, passionately.
I don’t know if they had realized it yet, but they should seriously put some deafening magic around their room when they go at it. Father really makes my mother moan his name from time to time.
Anyways! I shouldn’t really be thinking about these things… but as someone that had already matured in my previous life and had all those thoughts, it’s impossible for me to have the urge once more.
At the very least, my body has yet to enter puberty, so I don’t feel any libido. Plus, I would prefer to never feel any, if possible. But for now, it would be better for me to just concentrate in the present…
“Sorry, mommy. Are you feeling okay?” I asked.
…..
“Yeah, yeah, I was also worried. I made my spirits check my health, but they said I was healthy, so it was just exhaustion… you already know I’m very old, so maybe I’m beginning to slowly enter my later years,” she replied.
In response, my father hugged her from behind and kissed her lips rather lovingly.
“Even at that age, you’re still the love of my life,” he said.
“D-Dear… don’t do this in front of the girl…” muttered my mother while blushing. I realized my father was touching her hips.
“A-Ah, my bad… hahaha! I’ll go cut some lumber for now. I’m sure it’s gonna get cold in the night,” he said as he quickly headed out of the house.
“Sigh… this man… the Fire attribute really makes them passionate.” She sighed while blushing a bit more.
“Are you really feeling okay, mommy?” I asked once more.
“Eh? Yeah, dear,” replied my mother
I hugged her leg while I watched her cook. She was boiling some meat, vegetables, and other ingredients, so it was probably going to be meat stew today. I guess it’s the same thing my father would make.
“Have you not felt… anything… erm, weird?” I asked.
“Weird?” she asked while raising an eyebrow.
“Like… your belly getting bigger?” I asked.
“Huh? Ah! I’ve been certainly eating a lot more than before… I used to not eat much at all… we elves usually don’t eat that much due to our bodies using mana for nourishment… but with your father, who’s always wanting to eat highly caloric foods… I ended up changing my daily routine and I’ve been indulging into greasy foods a lot… I never thought I would be eating as much meat as I’ve been eating these past few years…” she said with a sigh.
I guess elves are really worried about their fitness. Then again, my mother was incredibly slender. I would say her hips were wide and her breasts were big just because she already gave birth once… but I doubt it’s because of being fat. In any case, I guess it’s part of a race with long lives to have slow metabolism.
“I didn’t mean that… and you’re not fat, mommy. You’re very pretty,” I said in response.
“Hahah… you’re always flattering me… are you in love with your mommy or something?” asked my mother jokingly.
“Maybe! You’re that pretty!” I replied.
“Hahaha! You’re so cute… okay then, marry mommy from now on,” she said cutely as she kissed my forehead.
We were, of course, joking around. My mother liked to tease me and my father with these things from time to time.
“But… you don’t feel anything else?” I asked.
“No? Nothing else…” she said, slightly confused.
Huh, she really doesn’t know she’s pregnant?!
Well, it has only been a week… so maybe I’m just the abnormal one with overpowered sensory abilities. Huh. Not even her magic can detect the small fetus?
Perhaps it’s the size of a pea, so I don’t blame her…
Well, I will tell both of them while having lunch, killing two birds with one stone. I know my father will be happy. He’s a good man, and mom might be surprised but she should be happy as well.
After the stew was ready, father came back carrying a lot of lumber and stored it at a different room.
“I’m going to take a quick bath now… Sylphy, want to come?” asked father as he was all sweaty. Then again, I was also sweaty.
“Sure!” I said as I accompanied my daddy to the bath.
I’ve been bathing with my parents since I had memory in this world, so I had long ago lost my shyness. The two loved family baths. Sometimes we often took baths all three of us together. Family baths is an interesting way to bond. I also remember that in my previous life I took baths with mom and my sister, although father in my previous life was always too shy to join us, saying things like “men shouldn’t take baths with girls”, or something along those lines.
Well, my father in this life was way more carefree, probably because he grew up as a mildly wild child since he was the son of a band of mercenaries that wandered around the continent. He had told me that he used to take baths with his father, his big brother, and his mother, so the entire tradition might be related to family… freewёbnoνel.com
Mother also took baths with her sisters and her mother when she was younger… so I guess nobody had any apprehensions over it.
