Of course, Frank was now even cautious than before, he didn't leave the residence without leaving his mark on it. He had left Soul Clones that resembled invisible ghosts around the entire place, alongside Overseeing Shadow Eyes, and many other things.
If anyone were to try to sneak into his new territory or something, he would know about it and quickly teleport there to assist everyone.
With that out of the way, Frank walked back home with Gwendolyn and Kamei, and on the way, they went into a convenience store, where they brought several snacks, drinks, sweets, and other things, alongside some Manga that Frank found interesting.
Monkey was not an issue, as Frank had asked the monk clan to exchange a pile of high-quality Magic Crystals he had been saving up since long ago from all the grinding done inside the Domains he had set in Terra. With that, he got billions of Yens and was pretty much rich at this point, so money was not a problem for him, and he bought whatever he wanted.
"Hmm, all these snacks are looking so good! Been a while since we ate spicy potato chips or chocolate-covered bamboo sprouts," said Kamei.
"Indeed… though they aren't really sprouts, they're just cookies in the shape of bamboos…" said Frank.
"Geez, I know that…!" sighed Kamei while pouting.
"Phew, I am tired… Ah, I want to see my baby girl…" sighed Gwendolyn, missing Annabelle.
"She and the rest went outside some hours ago, they went to explore the city but nothing bad happened, I monitored them around for safety's sake, and now they're all back… They went to take a nap and some of them are watching anime. Orb hasn't stopped reading manga for hours," sighed Frank, fearing that Orb might outspeed him on catching up to the popular manga he wanted to read.
After reaching the area where Yurei was waiting for them, they opened the doors and got inside.
A phantasmal maid emerged quickly after, smiling at the group.
"Welcome my lord, lady Gwendolyn, lady Kamei," she said.
"Hello Yurei, how has it been the day in this new world?" asked Frank.
"Very calm, some people were looking at me from afar, but I ignored them for the moment," said Yurei.
"Good girl," said Frank, as he petted Yurei's white hair, which was made of the materialized phantom.
After petting the needy Yurei, Frank, Gwendolyn, and Kamei got comfortable inside the house and went upstairs, as they meet most of the group there…
There was Vritra and Selcis here as well, the two were sleeping over the bed with several emptied bags of snacks at the side… they seemed to have eaten a lot while watching anime, and took a nap afterward, they looked utterly adorable, to the point that Frank just wanted to sleep in the middle of the two for the rest of the night.
Due to the two little angels sleeping, Frank decided to speak silently as they were greeted by the rest of the group.
Everyone rushed downstairs and began a large feast of even more snacks. They seemed addicted to this world's junk food, and as superhumans that cannot get fat no matter what due to their super-fast metabolism, eating all of this didn't seem to affect them negatively anyways, so they indulged in it to their heart's content.
This was the little feast celebrating that Frank finally got the corpses of his parents, and the luck he got from Matsuo and his clan saving them in safety.
"I'm so happy that everything went well! You got your parent's bodies and even became the clan lord! A-And you even got a new wife…" said Axitl.
"Yes… Sorry about that, and don't worry about it, Kaguya seems like a decent woman and a very diligent and hardworking one at that," said Frank.
"I see… Well, I am eager to meet her one of these days! More friends are always welcome," said Axitl, she was such a gentle and lovable girl that Frank couldn't help but desire to hug her.
"Hm, it is nice that everything went well… though another girl this soon?!" asked Orb.
"I will make sure to compensate for it," said Frank, as he kissed Orb's cheek and made her blush.
"You better do… A-And, well, I am glad that you got your parents back, after this, will you revive them?" she asked.
"That's what I plan to do," said Frank.
"Finally…! The thing you've been working for so long, Frank!" said Clishya.
"Yeah, I am also surprised we have managed to get this far… This is just… Amazing… After so long… It can be finally done, I am going to fulfill the promise I did to myself… And to Kamei back then," said Frank.
"Brother…" said Kamei, feeling nostalgic about her first days in Terra, which were also filled with the sorrow of her parent's loss. She remembered herself before all of that… She was very weak, it was thanks to Frank that she managed to grow so strong and acquire the ability to wield all sorts of Skills and Magic… Now, she was already something akin to a Demigoddess as her Mana Core Rank was already almost at the peak.
"I am happy for you, Frank! Time to finally see your parents. I wonder how they are… Well, we already spoke with their souls before, but they seemed tired and all… I suppose it might be different now," said Cathyl.
"Indeed… Though I believe it might not be enough, they will have to probably reform their bodies and get used to them with their souls for some time… You see, even if I got their bodies in perfect condition, I will still going to make them strong, after gathering all these materials and the artifacts, I will use their bodies as templates and also as ingredients to reform and reforge their new bodies into pretty the strongest creations I could make," said Frank.
"W-Woah, you're going all out into this… This is pretty much-forbidden alchemy at this point, like making Homunculus!" said Vheslia.
"Well I don't think it is that far of a stretch…" said Frank. He wanted his parents to be as strong as possible!
