It has been three days since my breakthrough into (tier-1).

And... I can clearly see dad from the corner of my eyes, quietly looking over me.

I know that he may not have had any intentions back then but, he pulled that prank knowingly.

Well, it may not have really been planned but he did pretend to be asleep while I left the room in a great hurry.

'The hell was he thinking pretending to be hurt?!'

No-no-no. Nope. It definitely won't be easy to make me forgive him.

'You better try harder dad. I take my grudges seriously.'

Though he had tried to apologize many times, I just ignored him.

It was, maybe his first time ever receiving such cold shoulders.

He was also very confused about how to make up to me.

Just ignoring him, I closed my eyes.

My heartbeat raised as I looked at my 'screen'.

These numbers were very high compared to my previous checks.

The stats told us about our body and its potential.

They were almost always accurate, so we can trust them to gauge someone's strength.

I was happy with the increased numbers.

Especially the amount of M.P. had increased by quite a bit after my breakthrough.

'Now... I can really try out some magic!'

After knowing the basics, I now knew how I could use the (tier-1) spells.

Unlike (tier-0) spells which were most basic, from (tier-1) we can make the spell on our own by following the basics.

We can use incantation, imagination, or prepared magic circles to channel Mana and invoke the desired spell.

Yes, we had to know a lot of theory in order to do so but, for simple things you know everything about, image casting is a LOT easier compared to those long weird incantations.

You had to know everything about it.

Well... it was at least easy for me.

'I am going to be practicing in image casting anyway so, it's good that I don't have to learn the theoretical part from dad for the time being.

Who cares books call it a higher-level spell casting method."

I didn't know what was so difficult to imagine about water droplets being made from hydrogen and oxygen and fire being ignited using fuel and oxygen.

'Aside from the information like this, the only thing restricting them could be 'Mental Fortitude'.

Something that leads to dad's fainting after sudden high use.'

A good high amount of mental strength was required in this type of spell casting.

Or an absurd talent in handling Mana was required to let the Mana turn into the spell just from the thoughts.

Fortunately, I had a very high amount of mental strength because I was an older person on the inside.

But, with the limits of my current body, I wouldn't be able to use even one-sixth of that power.

'A good mind and a strong body, both are required in this type of spell casting.'

"I can only try to materialize the Mana in some shape for now."

I mumbled under my breath and looked around for a quick second.

Dad wasn't there.

'Looks like he gave up and went in.'

Well, I was just standing in this backyard doing nothing for the last two hours.

Shaking my head, I walked towards the table in the distance and picked up my arrows and bow.

"Noooooollleeeennnn..."

Brian burst into the room, crying his eyes out.

Crystal-like tears were falling from his beautiful red eyes, his face was a total mess too.

'He looks, absolutely adorable...'

My breathing quickened, and my heart was also beating faster.

He seemed just like a black puppy, crying beside its master to me.

Extending my hand to the front unconsciously, I started creasing his messy, long hair.

Good thing they weren't that long or else I would have just started playing with them.

"Now, now my little puppy, calm down..."

I bent down and embraced him.

After crying for a bit more, he calmed down a bit.

"Hick! Hick! N-Nolen he w-would even look at me..."

I held him even more tightly so he couldn't look at my pink face.

'Cute! Cute! Cute! I should go thank Eon...'

A big young man like him... crying on my shoulder like a baby... Ah~! Heaven...

"Ahum! Ahum! Brian?"

As much as I wanted to watch this marvelous sight, my dear husband was suffering from my little baby's cold treatment.

As a GOOD mom, I had to do something.

"H-hu? N-Nolen?"

He looked up with his puppy eyes. I just... wanted to eat him up RIGHT NOW.

But, the situation wasn't quite right.

I would have to wait for... ahem!

"Look here, Brian."

Holding his face, I pulled it closer to mine.

"Look, just tell me. What would you do if I get upset just like Eon?"

He calmed down after a bit and looked at me.

"I-if you get upset?"

"Yes. What would you do then?"

"B-but why would you ever get u-upset? I won't d-do anything t-to make you upset!"

As much as I wanted to kiss this cute pup, I had to resolve the petty fudge between them faster.

I pressed his cheeks a bit harder and smiled.

"Just answer the god damn question~," I smiled.

He flinched a bit and calmed down perfectly.

Looking into my stoic eyes, he answered.

"I would try to make up with you somehow?"

"And how would you do that?"

"By Making you something special or giving some kind of unique gift? Right?"

At least he was sharp and smart.

This was why this puppy husband was sooooo perfect.

"There. You have your answer."

I brightly smiled. He had his answer to what he needed to do.

"Will it... work?"

"Oh, it will. Definitely~."

"If you say so, I will try it."

He smiled at me. As our faces were too close right now, I could feel his calm breath on my face.

Then...

He kissed me. Completely caught me off guard.

Like hell! I was the one who was going to do that!

'But... it felt good~.'

I trained him well. He wouldn't even come close when we first started dating.

After an unknown period of time, we stopped.

I opened my eyes and saw his beet-red face, which had taken the initiative this time.

"Good work~. Now, go.

We WILL continue later."

Yes~. This definitely had to continue and end with a punishment.

I-I had to punish this one. I was the one g-going to do that.

He smiled, looking at my red face.

With a small nod, he pulled himself up... with a bit of difficulty.

After chatting for a moment, he left the room to find something appropriate for Eon.

I returned to my desk and looked back.

Outside of the window, Eon was standing with only his bow in his hand.

'The hell! Why is it this much difficult?'

For the last half hour, I was trying to materialize my Mana into an arrow.

I knew an arrow would be a lot easier than a bow and arrow both.

Well, it would be stupid to make both and waste a large amount of Mana.

It was difficult. A lot more difficult than I thought it would be.

Just gathering the Mana in the environment was taking so much time and consecration that I had already failed three times.

It was a good experience but, I was beginning to feel sleepy.

Deciding to try the last time, I aimed my bow at the target.

Gathering the Mana in the surrounding by using the Mana inside of me, focusing the gathered Mana in a single spot, condensing the Mana to a certain stage, shaped it into an arrow.

The process took a total of five seconds, and this time it was different.

Unlike the previous attempts, the Mana this time did not scatter.

But it was definitely much thinner than what an arrow should be.

Opening my eyes and looking at a thin and almost transparent Mana in the shape of almost an arrow, I sighed.

It was a success.

Now all that was left was perfect the thing I had just done.

I released the 'arrow'. It flew halfway to the target but then started to disappear.

Slowly disintegrating into the surroundings.

I slowly sat down. It was not easy to do this but it was also not something I couldn't do.

'Maybe two days? yes... that much should be enough to master this.'

And maybe, by that time, dad would figure something-

"Eon~!"

Dad's voice came from behind me.

I wanted to look back, but I didn't do so and just sat there.

He came and sat beside me. With a very sad voice, he apologized once again.

Now, not even he knew what he was apologizing for.

This time when I didn't give him the answer, unlike before, he took out a small box from his (item box).

It was a small red box. Placing the red box before me, he apologized again.

"Sorry. This is just a gift from me, if you don't want to forgive me, then don't say anything.

But just accept this. I wanted to give you one of these for a long time."

He turned his head and waited for my reply.

Curious, I picked up the red box and opened it.

A metallic silver bracelet with some blue patterns engraved on it rested inside the box.

Taking it out and observing it for a bit, I understood what it was.

And... I loved this gift.

"Hmm. Good enough," I nodded.

As soon as I spoke, he turned his head towards me like a spring with wide eyes.

"Eon? Did you... talk?

You talked?!

D-does this m-mean?" he looked at me with anticipation.

"Yes, yes. You are forgiven."

"Yes~!"

He hugged me and lifted me up.

'Oh, you poor dad.'

I never intended to continue this cold treatment for much longer.

Well, just three weeks would have been enough.

But this was good too.

"Dad let's go in now. I'm hungry. And, sleepy too."

He didn't react to this much. He was just that happy.

After a very long half-hour, he got back to normal.

We entered inside and soon spotted mom.

She was sitting on the table in the kitchen, brightly smiling at us.

I knew that the idea of a gift was from mom at the very least.

Dad couldn't come up with something like this on his own but, the gift was from him.

"Eon~. Thank you~."

Mom said in a very happy voice.

It confused me greatly.

'Why is she thanking me? Was it fun watching dad in agony? Weird taste indeed.'

I shook my head, sighing in exhaustion.

Well, the bracelet will be a convenient thing.

Today was a good and eventful day.
