Gula and Invi

"My children.....you are back...."- Mae

Mae observed carefully, it was indeed her children, this face was very similar to her previous life. She opened her arms wide and hugged Invi and Gula, she missed the warmth of her two children very much. Since her son and his wives moved out and her daughter went on a major leave with the academy, Mae has been very worried.

When she hears about what's happening at the border and the spread of Disasters, Mae worries more about the children's safety.

"Mama, we're back. Don't cry anymore, it'll make you waterlogged" - Invi

"You two...when did you two become so big? No, when did you become human?!"- Mae

Mae immediately placed her hands on Invi's face and looked closely.

"Mama is very surprised, right?" - Invi

"Of course it is! You two have been missing for nearly half a year and only sent me letters, making me worried to death!"- Mae

Invi looked at her mother who was questioning her, and couldn't help but hug the walking mushroom. She rubbed her face against the mushroom head.

"Mama is so adorable. How can there be such a lovely person in this world as my Mama?"- Invi

The guests who were still here didn't understand why the Archdemon of Envy seemed so close to that lowly walking mushroom. What exactly was going on?

"Maybe you should go home, mom, I'll handle it here" - Gula

"Then everything depends on you, Brother"- Invi

Streams of water appeared from nowhere and wrapped around Invi and Mae then disappeared.

After both of them left, Gula looked towards the king and then turned to look at the guests.

"Now then, let's deal with this trash" - Gula

Gula's magic power exploded so loudly that everything around was blown away. He will make everyone here regret ever daring to touch his mother.

A water bubble appeared in the inn in Kemonomimi village. When it burst, inside were Invi and Mae. The walking mushroom opened his eyes. He didn't expect that just a moment ago they were still at the palace, and now they have returned.

The servants were waiting there to welcome them.

"Welcome back, Madam Mae and Lady Invi" - Grayce

"Hello everyone! I'm back, please change my mother's clothes and take her to the living room!"- Invi

In just a split second, Mae's clothes were now changed into pajamas, she was still a bit dazed and didn't understand what was going on. Many questions appeared in her mind such as.

'Since when did my children become human?'

'Why did they do that in the palace?'

'Archdemon? My two children are Archdemon?!'

'Could something have happened during that time?'

'I'm such a failure at being a single mother!'

"Mama" - Invi

Her daughter's call pulled her out of her thoughts, Invi was sitting next to her while petting the Abys dragon sleeping on her lap.

"Uh...um...Sophie...or should I call you Invi now? How did you two..."- Mae

"Becoming human form? Actually, during the time I went on expedition with the academy. I learned a lot of things and went through many difficulties to evolve into my current form." - Invi

"What have you learned?"- Mae

"The outside world is really different from our previous lives. It makes us free to do the things we want to do. Not constrained by anything, magic or monsters, it's just like the world that we want to live. And here you are too, having you here makes us feel very happy" - Invi

"Daughter..."- Mae

"Mama, no matter what, I'm still your daughter Sophie. It's just...to be more comfortable when starting a new life, I want to give up my old name. If you don't like it, then ..."- Invi

Hearing that, Mae raised her hand to touch Invi's cheek.

"Oh my daughter, as long as you and your brother are happy. Being a mother feels happy. Even if you change your name or appearance, you two will still be the children I love so much" - Mae

Then he immediately pinched the girl's cheeks.

"But next time you want to give me a gift, please don't give me dangerous items!!!" - Mae

"Ouch ouch, it hurts, Mama! Is there something wrong with those gifts? Don't you like it?" - Invi

"Your brother and you both gave me extravagant gifts and more! Wouldn't it be crazy for a walking mushroom like me to own all that?!"- Mae

"Forgive me, I was wrong. Stop, Mama!!!"- Invi

The inn suddenly became cheerful, perhaps because of the laughter and happy atmosphere in there.

_______

Mae was the first to go to bed, while in the living room, Invi was enjoying tea when the door opened.

"You're really late, did something happen there?"- Invi

Gula sat down on the opposite chair, his body had a large scratch and his clothes were torn at the shoulder. His face remained indifferent and calm.

"Just having a little trouble, I didn't expect someone from the Archdemon council to appear there" - Gula

"Which Archdemon?"- Invi

"Greed, although he doesn't appear directly, his subordinates have a communication device. It's funny, the highest saints usually don't care about the human world. For some reason, they don't care. kept buzzing like a bunch of flies. Anyway, thank you for let me borrow your magic" - Gula

"Anytime, we have connect skill so we help each other. But seriously, it's so annoying, they keep bothering us like that, how will we have time to see Mama!" - Invi

"About our mother, how's it going?" - Gula

"Mama seemed to understand us, and she wasn't angry. She was more happy to meet us than the fact that we became Archdemon" - Invi

"That's right, mother is always the one who understands us. But it would be sad if she knew what we were doing behind her back" - Gula

The atmosphere between the two became heavy.

They know, the things they do will really make their mothers disgusted and hate them.

From what happened at the border, to the academy, even their actions just now at the palace were truly beyond the limits of a normal person. If Invi didn't bring their mother home and had to witness the scene there, she would definitely be scared by that inhumane act.

In their hearts and minds, they know what kind of person their mother is, like a pure saint. Willing to sacrifice their entire lives just to raise and educate them to become normal people in society.

Yet, life is funny, now they are Archdemon. This proves that they have evolved into the ultimate form of evil, they had to use all sorts of cruel ways and tricks to reach this level.

"No matter what, anyone who dares to touch Mama..."- Invi

The teacup in Invi's hand immediately shattered, and the tea spilled onto the floor.

"Then that person should be ready for death" - Gula

Gula noticed that his sister's cheeks were slightly red and immediately burst out laughing.

"Mom pinched you?"- Gula

"Hmph! What does it have to do with you? Mama said she didn't like too many luxury things so that's why she did that" - Invi

"Didn't you also give her a dragon egg? That item is considered a luxury and dangerous" - Gula

"That's...Let's just say we're even!"- Invi

After speaking, they both burst into giggles, then they went up to Mae's room, quietly entering her room without making a sound. Looking at the walking mushroom sleeping soundly without knowing what is about to happen.

"Are you ready?" - Gula

"Yeah, let's give our mother human form" - Invi

They raised their hands towards Mae, then released a huge magic that made her body glow.

_______

[Warning]

_______

The Rica system rang in the heads of the two of them. Immediately, their magic was reflected and they were knocked away.

"What? What just happened?"- Invi

"It seems like our magic power has no effect on her" - Gula

"Let's try again" - Invi

_______

[Notice: In the body of the walking mushroom, there are signs of an ancient magic that is sealing all high-level magic power]

_______

"Does that mean we can't help Mama evolve? Why is there such nonsense? Is there any way to help Mama?"- Invi

"It can't be that thing!"- Gula

"What do you mean?"- Invi

"Half a year before I left, I found a dungeon in this very inn, with many dangerous creatures down there. I was struggling to explore further, when I found a statue It seems to be a woman. At first I thought it was just a normal statue, but when I touched it, something terrible was residing in it" - Gula

"You mean, Mama went down to that dungeon and broke that statue. Did she accidentally receive ancient magic?"- Invi

_______

[Analysis results: The ancient magic in the statue is related to an entity beyond the understanding of the world. Can only be removed by the owner herself]

_______

Gula sighed, placing his hands on Invi's shoulders.

"We can still help her. Do you remember what butler Grayce said?"- Gula

"The Archdemons often come here. Is that what you mean?"- Invi

"Grace, that's right. We can give grace to mother. There will come a time when she will remove it herself" - Gula

"But that would be very dangerous for Mama. You know that if just one person is given grace, they won't be able to stand it, worse still, that person will die. We can't do that!"- Invi

"Invi!"- Gula

The hand holding Invi's shoulder tighter, even trembling a bit.

"I know that, but think carefully. We can't stay by mom's side forever, we also have our obligations. What we can do for her right now, is just can give her our grace. Furthermore, our mother doesn't only have one grace in her body?" - Gula

Having no other choice, Invi had to listen to her brother's words. She tried to hold back her tears so she wouldn't cry.

They held out their hands again toward Mae.
