139 Revealing The Truth
—–
I’ve seen pretty much everything my parents had to offer since we had been taking baths together since I was a baby. My father’s body is incredibly packed with slim muscles all over, as well as a lot of scars.
My father quickly undressed himself as the water was just warm. As for me, I quickly took out my dress, socks, and panties before jumping into the bath with him.
“Hahhh... This is really relaxing after working out, huh? Makes you feel way better,” father could not help but say.
“Yeah... my entire body was aching after I used so much mana...” I said with a sigh.
“Oh, you’ve gotten bigger,” he said all of a sudden.
“Huh? W-What are you looking at?” I asked, somewhat confused.
“Your little chest. They’re bigger than before... haha! My little girl is slowly reaching maturity... I wonder who’s going to pick you... Zack? Oh! Hmmm...” My father began to look at the ceiling while rubbing his chin.
My father is not really a pervert. He’s just very childish to the point he talks about these things shamelessly without realizing they’re very embarrassing.
.....
And now he was thinking who was going to pick me? What does he mean by that? Like... a husband?
I had never considered Zack now that I think about it...
Actually, I haven’t considered anyone in that regard...
“I haven’t thought about any of that yet, daddy! Zack is my friend,” I told him.
“Okay, okay, sorry, dear...” In any case, he quickly apologized.
“Anyways, let me wash you up. Here’s some soap...” I said as father quickly showed me his back. Soon after, I began to scratch his back and wash it.
His back had several scars all around. Some were small like the scars that a cat scratch left, while others were enormous, resembling massive wounds that would have killed him...
Probably these ones were quickly healed by my mother after he took them, but he could have died otherwise. There were certain scars that were very big. These ones I call “the big three”.
There was a three-slash scar that’s around 30 centimeters long. It was as if a giant leopard slashed his back. This could have easily pierced his lungs based in how deep they are...
“Dad, how did you get this one scar?” I asked.
“Ah... that one... it’s one of the oldest I got! Haha, it brings me back when I was a kid... back then, I was around... 13? I think 13 or 14... I had already met your mother and I was hunting at the woods around the Elf Capital with the rest of the party... Your mother had come with us so she could protect us all, there was a big gap in strength between all of us kids and her... she was definitely the oldest “new” hero, so she already came with a lot of magical power from the get-go. On the other hand, we had to train hard to get our own,” answered my father.
“I see... so mommy was always protecting your backs?” I asked.
“Kind of. Without her healing, we would have never been able to survive for so long... Anyways, it was in a time when we visited our first dungeon named Leopard’s Lair. There was a massive leopard boss at the fifth floor. We got smoothly through them all and we got cocky, so we ended up rushing forward to the boss and we almost got killed,” he said with a sigh.
“Eh? Idiot! How can you be so reckless?” I asked.
“You’re also pretty reckless, no?” he said in response.
“Oh...” I uttered. He was right.
“Well, the thing is, that damn boss had a stealth ability and it hid in the shadows. At some point, it slashed my back when I couldn’t predict where it would land and almost killed me... I remember my lungs got torn off. I was sure to die back then, but your mother healed me, while Shade brought me outside with his fast speed,” father continued.
“Oh... so Shade was always there?” I asked.
“Yeah, he was an edgy kid back then, but he got gentler with time... Now he’s a completely changed man...” father replied with a chuckle.
“I see! So that’s how it went...” I muttered.
“After that day, your mother reprimanded all of us and taught us to not be reckless, even against a boss monster that looked almost the same as the previously slain monsters. There was always a big difference between the boss monster and the other mobs... this applies to you too, Sylphy. Don’t get too cocky because you got insane mana. It won’t be everything in a fight! Especially... after what you went through that day...” he said.
“I see... I understand, father...” I said as I soon hugged his back.
“Good, now let me wash your little back as well, plus these little armpits- Oh, some hair is growing now?” he said.
“Just a bit! S-Stop pointing out weird stuff or I’m not taking any more baths with you!” I said in response, at this point quite flustered.
“A-Ah, okay, sorry!” he apologized, while bowing his head.
Geez, my father is really a dummy sometimes.
After taking the bath, we went downstairs refreshed to find mother serving the plates.
“Just in time. Let’s dig in,” she said.
We quickly began to eat the delicious stew that mother prepared. It was delicious and filled with flavor, the meat was tender pork, plus there was boiled potatoes and carrots filled with the flavor of the meat and the other spices... she also served a bit of white rice at the side.
Father also began to eat his bread with cheese on top. He really liked eating this even at lunch... I don’t know how he doesn’t have problems with going to the bathroom if he eats so much cheese...
Hmm... maybe I should tell them right now.
“Mom, dad... I have something to tell you...” I said all of a sudden.
In response, the two looked at me at the same time.
“Huh?”
“Sylphy?”
“I... I found out that mom is pregnant!” I said, pointing at my mother’s belly.
“...”
“...”
The two were left frozen in time while looking at me with question marks engraved on their faces...
