Chapter 1386: Delicious Breakfast With Friends
After everything that happened, I realized that everyone could die, even my parents. My dad, if it wasn't for my help and everything, would have probably not have been able to confront Allocer on his own.
That True Demon was something beyond our power, perhaps stronger than Arachne when possessed by Lolth, simply ridiculous.
I was afraid that he might die, or that I might die...
So sometimes, when we go through stuff like this, we feel like we need to hug those we love and let them know we love them and to appreciate the moments we have with them.
Because I wish I could do the same for those we lost.
"Haha! I love you too Sylphy," my father said, suddenly lifting me up. "What happened? Did you think your father was going to die or something? Hah! Aren't you looking down too much on me?! I got a dozen more trump cards, you just didn't get to see them yet!"
"W-What? Hey, don't lift me! I'm not a kid anymore!" I groaned. "I'm fifteen now!"
"To me you'll always me my baby girl," he said, kissing my forehead. "Anyways, sit down and let me give you something to eat. I made a lot."
He let me go quite easily, as he quickly continued preparing pancakes, there was already a huge pile of them right in the middle of the table.
"Sure!"
I ran to grab a plate and other things and placed them over the table, leaving it ready for everyone to eat. As I did, dad served me five pancakes, poured syrup, some whipped cream, butter, and strawberries.
"There you go, for your opening, I bet you're starving," he quickly gave me a cup of hot coffee. "There, you're old enough, right? So might as well start drinking what the adults drink. Do you like coffee? I don't recall seeing you drink it before."
"I don't really like it being so bitter..." I complained. "I like sweet things, usually I prefer tea of any kind, herbal tea with different flavors is tasty too."
"Well this coffee is a blend from the dwarves, it has cocoa on it, also I put some cream, so it should be much softer and less bitter," my dad said.
He sure likes to spoil me; I even feel a bit bad...
"Aren't you spoiling me a bit too much dad?" I wondered. "Mom would be already telling you this is too much!"
"What? Well, your mom's not here haha!" he laughed, petting my head. "You know your father loves you so just let me spoil you once in a while!"
Once in a while? He's always doing it...
Well, that's one of the things I like about dad.
"Well okay- Let me try the coffee... Hm?"
Oh, it was pretty good, actually! The blend of the coffee, the cream and the cocoa was pretty nice, I never thought it could be this good.
"It's good!" I said.
"Eeeh? Not fair Sylphy!" Celica came running. "Wait, there are a lot left!"
"It was just a prank," I said. "Did you sleep well?"
"Hm, yeah, I slept fine..." Celica nodded, sitting by my left side, and then hugging me. "And
you?"
"Fine too!" I kissed her cute forehead, right between her two horns. "Aren't you cute today
too? You're like a doll sometimes, Celica!"
I couldn't help but pet her little head.
"I'm not a doll!" Celica pouted. "But thank you! Your hair looks so bright and shiny today too,
how do you maintain it so red?"
"It's just how I was born," I laughed. "But I do use a lot of different oil extracts to keep it silky
and healthy."
"Ooh, nice! Can you share some with me later?" she wondered.
"Sure! I've gathered a huge variety, I can share you as many as you want!" I smiled.
"Thank you Sylphy!" she smiled cutely, beginning to happily eat her pancakes and then also drank some of the coffee. "Hmm! B-bitter... Is this coffee? I thought it was cocoa!"
"Hahaha, it'll keep you energized!" said my father.
"It's good though," Celeste nodded, drinking the coffee but without the added stuff.
"Anyways, where's that irresponsible master at?"
"She's probably still with the-"
"It pains me to hear my disciples call me like that..."
"Uwaaahh?!"
"What the...!"
"Felicia?"
Suddenly, Felicia appeared behind Celeste, scaring us all.
