Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

After having breakfast with Rose, we moved to the gym for our daily routine, distracting ourselves with some good exercise was always good to let out some steam and just focus on something else than the pile of problems there is now.

Rose was as talkative as ever, I think we were her only friends aside from her colleagues, so she really didn't wanted to leave our side for the rest of the day… After a lot of Gym activities, we went back home to prepare lunch, where Rose meet Blackie again, and also my daughter and Monica.

We decided to leave it a secret that Monica was possessed, and it seemed no other students remembered what happened aside from my daughter and her friends, which were right next to Monica, and they all agree on keep it a secret so Monica doesn't get unwanted attention.

She was a victim, but things might escalate and people would end up blaming her for everything anyways, and we don't want that… So Rose only realized she had Mana within her, and nothing else.

"Hey, hello~ I'm one of your mommy's friend." Rose smiled; she was quite sociable.

"I've heard a bit about you, Dhampir Rose." Elena smiled with a smirk.

"Geh…?! She knows?!" Asked Rose, looking back at me.

"She knows it was us that rescued her, so it couldn't be helped." I shrugged. "We told her a few things, don't worry, my daughter won't open her mouth. I mut a charm on her, if she goes around trying to talk something, a seal will shut her mouth forcefully!"

"Eh?! You did that?!" Elena was shaken. "W-When?! Where is that charm?!"

Of course, I was actually lying, I never did that, but it was a way to make it as if Elena couldn't do it even if she wanted.

"I see, well, that's alright. She doesn't seem to have any talent but maybe you'll give her something?" Rose asked. "Be careful though, underaged kids can't easily go around using powers."

"Don't worry, we'll keep tabs on her." I tried to reassure her. "A-Anyways, Monica, are you feeling alright?"

"Nn." Monica nodded. "I-I went back home and brought some things… Elena and Blackie accompanied me."

"That's good." I said. "So you're okay with staying here for a bit?"

"Y-Yeah, if you don't mind, miss Elayne…" Monica sighed, blushing a bit out of the embarrassment.

"Of course I don't mind!" I gave her a head pat after kissing my daughter's cheeks. "Anyways! Let's make some lunch!"

Like that, we prepared lunch and had a hearty meal with everyone together. My daughter told us Monica played a bit of BNLO with her and created her own account. I guess she'll help her level up a bit with the rest of her friends.

Anna and Elisa came home just as we were having lunch, and joined the meal while looking at Rose with eyes wide open… It wasn't every day they would see a half-vampire after all.

And after we were done, Elisa had some sort of proposal.

"I was thinking on bringing Monica to my house instead, she would be too much of a bother to you, Miss Elayne." Said Elisa. "She'll get her own room and all…"

"Eh? But why are you doing all of this for her?" I wondered. "I never thought of you as someone so generous, Elisa!"

"E-Eh?! I am!" Elisa sighed. "Well, I prefer her in my house than having her in here… With Elena and all. Anna agreed too."

"Yeah." Anna nodded, hugging Elena. "Monica, are you okay with that?"

"I-I…" Monica seemed a bit embarrassed.

"Well, how about she stays another week before deciding?" I said. "You two are being a bit too hasty, let the girl take a breather, alright?"

"Ugh." Elisa and Anna sighed at the same time.

"Thanks for the hospitality, E-Elisa." Monica blushed. "A-All of you… Mean a lot to me… Sniff…"

Suddenly Monica started crying, perhaps out of happiness to have friends at her side. Honestly, it made me a bit angered that they brought her to tears…

"E-Eh? Come on, don't cry now…" Elisa sighed, she got a bit red herself.

"Ah, she's really crying a river…" Anna said, giving her a head pat.

My daughter glared at her two friends slightly angrily. "See? Don't be so pushy with her!"

"Ay, sorry." Anna sighed.

At the end, the girls gathered inside my daughter's room, and when Rose decided to go back home, I called my daughter to explain her things more clearly while her friends were logged-in on Arcadia.

We explained her how things were interconnected, starting from the Demon King of Miasma's powers, and how he caused the beginning of the Awakening in our world.

"So that event, those portals back then… They weren't just some fancy cinematic?!" My daughter was taken aback. "D-Damn… So the Demon King of Death… Those Dungeons?"

"Yep, all him." I sighed. "Because I inherited Yggdrasil's legacy, I am kind of… a protector now, it has become my duty to get rid of him and stuff."

"Wow… Mom you're so awesome… You've been doing all of this in secret, saving our lives and everything…" My daughter was surprised, she could barely muster her words. "Agh, I wish I could brag about it."

"I'm… doing what I can. I can't give you any fancy speech about why I'm doing things except that… It's because I love this world and the other world too. And all of its people." I smiled. "I'm glad you recognizing my efforts, but you shouldn't feel forced to help me."

"Nah, that's the least I should do…" She said. "A-At the very least for self-defense, right? Like you did with Jenny! Come on, that girl at the mini market got it too!"

"Fine, we had already decided to make you a magic circle, so come with us and stay still over there." I led her to my room where the magic circle was already set on the floor using a variety of materials.

The process was swift with the aid of the Great Spirit, a magic circle was engraved on my daughter's heart, as several runes made her body overflow with magic power.

And then, suddenly… her skin turned blue and two tiny black horns grew in her forehead, as her eyes shone bright red!

"H-Huh?!"
