The Hero Party’s Moms Are Obsessed With Me

As we returned to Alfred after a tiring schedule, the dawn sun was slowly rising.

Thanks to the national treasure-level magical artifacts and the magic of the Grand Master, we weren’t mentally or physically tired.

“Rest is essential. Let’s take a good break today.”

Everyone nodded at the words of our party’s guide, Eli.

“Then I’ll analyze the mana stones, so don’t disturb me.”

Lageta laughed and went to a corner, saying that she finally had some free time.

“Yes, my dear? Should we take a nap with mom?”

Olivia prepared to wash up and did a cute nap-pouting.

“A nap… might not be a bad idea.”

After such a tiring day, I was filled with a desire to rest honestly, and without realizing it, I was nodding my head.

“Milady, we must not skip our daily training. I’ll make sure we return soon. Please come, Master.”

No, I said let’s rest…!

He was dragged to the back courtyard of the inn by Eli’s oppressive force…

“Then come at me.”

It was the usual combat training with Eli.

To be honest, I have developed a habit of it, and if I don’t move my body, it would become stiff, but I don’t understand the meaning behind this training.

Sadly, I am a realistic person.

Years of effort, but no improvement in swordsmanship.

I have no talent, not even a speck of it.

Just a strengthened physical strength and various advanced magic tools using elixirs.

Finally, I held on until this point with the weapon [Shut Up and Open Up].

If it were a passionate pursuit, this wouldn’t happen!

Sweat and effort do not betray one another! I would have swung the sword, saying that, but I am a realistic person.

Wouldn’t it be more helpful to do physical training or sparring during the time dedicated to sword training in order to improve agility and reaction speed? That thought filled my mind.

“Now that there’s a skill tree, I should try it. Just until today, and then I have to talk to Eli.”

Only for today.

I grabbed the sword, promising to do sword training just for one more day and to request a different training manual.

And I swung the sword, throwing my body as usual.

Sloppy swordsmanship that didn’t swing as I intended, just like I thought.

Of course, Eli easily blocked it.

I felt an urge as I thought it was the last training.

I gritted my teeth and swung the sword again.

The sword swung, wobbling and extending.

Blocked by Eli’s sword again.

Ugh, I don’t know anymore, swinging the sword.

However…

“What, what is it?”

Thunk.

Tick.

Clank.

Clang.

Crash.

Slowly, my body became lighter.

The sword that had been swinging weakly.

The sword that had been tapping me like a massage.

With a burst of strength into my relaxed muscles, it swiftly swung.

Of course, it was blocked by Ellie’s sword, but she seemed just as surprised as I was, her widened eyes scanning my body.

Shocked, I stopped my attack, and Ellie lowered her sword.

“M-Master… You have grown…”

Ellie, who was always said to never let go of her sword during battle or training.

Thud.

She let go of her sword.

And then.

Wham!

“You have grown!! Master!”

As if she had grown herself, she hugged me tightly and smiled.

Hahaha! She truly is my master! I always believed in her!

Finally, I realized amidst her loud exclamation.

I too… am able to handle a sword…

Why is that?

A warm feeling emerged in my heart, causing my eyes to be moist.

Ellie, who was lightly dressed for training.

She had come out without washing herself, and the faint scent of sweat combined with her soft and warm touch overwhelmed my senses, reinforcing the thought that I had grown.

In the midst of being deeply moved by our unexpressed emotions.

We had forgotten.

“It’s noisy!!”

“Let’s sleep!!”

“S-Sorry!!”

It was still dawn, and this place was the backyard of the inn.

As we held hands with Ellie and returned to our room, Olivia, who had just finished her shower and was drying her damp hair, looked at us with wide eyes.

“Oh my? Did you finish early today?”

“Madam! This is a small farewell!”

“Nam Bo-yo?”

“Well, well! I have good news!”

“Yes? What…”

From Noble mtl dot com

“He’s grown!”

“Grown?”

Olivia, who had been tilting her head, approached and kneeled in front of me.

The tangy scent of shampoo and her unique fragrance wafted in the air.

The excitement of his growth almost overwhelmed the beauty’s charm.

Olivia reached out and placed her hand on my head.

She then gently stroked it a few times before tilting her head again.

“Your height seems the same, doesn’t it?”

Wait, do you know my height by petting me?

Next, she hugged me and lifted me up, saying, “Hooray!” before tilting her head again.

“Your weight and muscle mass seem the same too…”

Wait, do you know my body fat percentage as well?

Olivia, the human in-body machine, released me, and Ellie shook her head and spoke.

“That’s not it! It’s his swordsmanship that has grown!! That young master!!”

“Oh my! The young master’s swordsmanship has grown?”

“Yes! The young master’s swordsmanship!!”

…

Listening to that feels quite unpleasant.

I calmed my excitement of growth with a shower of cold water, both figuratively and literally.

“Why all of a sudden?”

No matter how I think about it, it’s strange.

Swordsmanship, which had been stagnant for years, suddenly growing overnight.

I recalled yesterday’s events while feeling the sensation of hot water hitting my head.

“Could it be because of the contract with Frann?”

The difference between yesterday and today is the presence of Frann.

To become a spirit practitioner, one must possess both the appropriate affinity for the spirit and enough magical power. The spirit needs to be attracted to the human’s affinity, and there must be sufficient magical power for the contract and summoning.

However, I have nothing.

No attributes, no magic.

But accidentally, I made a one-sided contract with Spriggan when our hearts [connected], and I didn’t even need summoning magic.

So, to manifest in my vicinity, Spriggan consumes magic power.

Right now, I’m in the elemental realm, eating elemental stones and adapting to my growing power while recovering magic.

Nevertheless, ever since making a contract with Spriggan, I’ve suddenly grown.

But.

“This has nothing to do with my growth.”

Luckily, I made a contract with Spriggan, but my body hasn’t changed.

Then.

“Is there really nothing else?”

Chewing on the roots of the Yggdrasil and savoring the taste, having tasted the ogre’s essence… After consuming the Yggdrasil’s roots forcefully like that, have I become even more monstrous? That’s the hypothesis.

Apart from that, my body hasn’t changed.

“My personality may be a mess, but the effects are amazing.”

They did give me some strange commands, but it’s been fun to grow.

I should follow their commands.

But first.

I reached out and touched the round magical device, and the flowing water stopped, making a satisfying sound.

After roughly drying myself off, I walked outside and flopped onto the bed.

“Let’s get some sleep…”

***

“Now you’re a great warrior!”

“Weren’t I great before?”

“Well, not like this!”

I’m not sure what happened, but Eli and Olivia were so excited.

I couldn’t concentrate on their chatter.

When Rageta usually works or needs to concentrate, she cuts off the surrounding dimensions with magic.

This way, she can block out external intrusions perfectly, and no sound is heard.

Yet, the reason she didn’t cut off the dimensions while analyzing was…

“Even your sleeping form is cute, our dear Dia.”

Because I didn’t want to be separate from Diam.

I reached out and gently stroked Diam’s sleeping head.

She twisted in response to my touch, but whether she was having a good dream or not, she smiled silently and exhaled colorful breaths.

“Please be quiet. I’m going to wake Diam.”

After calming down the two noisy troublemakers, I looked at Diam again.

“By the way, it’s amazing. To think that she even received that crazy girl’s blessing.”

That crazy girl, the world tree, who went berserk, spewing curses after infecting her with the experiment by tearing off branches and roots.

She may have a narrow mind, only focusing on experiments, but her abilities are truly that of a real world tree.

What on earth did Diam do to receive that crazy girl’s blessing?

No, more importantly, when?

Unbeknownst to herself, Diam had a trace of the crazy girl’s energy within her.

Well, I’m not sure, but since it was a blessing and not a curse, I didn’t pay much attention to it.

Moreover, it was a blessing that could infinitely grow, just like what she had received in the past.

Although she had become a person I didn’t like at some point, this was something that I liked.

“If she grows a little more… with Diam… for a lifetime… hehehe…”

As I wiped the saliva flowing from my mouth while having sinister thoughts, Elli, who was keeping an eye on whether she should disturb Diam’s sleep, looked out the window and widened her eyes in surprise.

“Madam, Ragetta, please come over here for a moment.”

“What’s the matter?”

“I’m busy right now. I have to stroke Diam’s head.”

“Oh. Can I do it too?”

“That’s not… I mean! Look over there! Madam, please come too!”

Olivia walked towards the window with a puzzled look, different from her usual self.

Ragetta, of course, ignored it and stayed by Diam’s side.

“Oh my? It’s Dre!”

“Dre? The warrior? Why… Ah~”

Perhaps the world tree is in danger, so the elves invited a warrior party.

“What should I do about this?”

Diam wants to play warrior.

Until yesterday, it was such a difficult dream.

Because Diam doesn’t grow.

I became stronger with the elixir, but compared to a hero, I was still pathetically weak.

But not anymore.

I have become infinitely stronger.

With just a little help from Largatha, I could explosively grow and surpass even the heroes.

“I should ask Diarm later when he wakes up.”

Do I really want to become a true hero?

Or was it just a fleeting dream from my youth?

And if he truly desires to become a genuine hero.

It seemed like it wouldn’t matter whether it was a hero or a daughter.

When dark emotions began to bloom within her heart, Olivia, excited to see her son after a long time, tried to leave the room.

But…

“Eik! Lady Largatha! Can you please open the door!”

The door remained shut.

“Olivia. Did you forget your place?”

“My place?”

“Running around here and there with Diarm and Ellie to escape from some unknown group. But you thought I would appear by the side of the boasting hero, huh?”

Olivia trembled at Largatha’s rebuke.

“Honestly, I don’t care. Whether you’re off on adventures with the hero or dead. The more you do, the more I can be with Diarm. However…”

As Largatha spoke coldly, she gently stroked Diarm’s cheek with a smile.

“I keep you around because Diarm would be sad if you were gone. It’s a hassle, but I’m keeping you. Got it?”

“Largatha! That’s going too far!”

Though Ellie urgently shouted.

“You’re the same. You seem complacent because I’m lenient. Don’t be mistaken.

Before I turn you into a doll by killing you.”

The two had forgotten.

The true nature of the main character.
