Because I was small, wearing conventional armor wouldn\'t do. So, father made these materials into clothes that even a little girl could use. Well, it also included leather armor made out of the scales from the six-limbed lizard I once hunted, but now he was going to upgrade it even more using the scales from this wyvern, and perhaps the scales left over from Ignatius.

After butchering the beast, father quickly set up some fire using his magic. Then, a massive grill was put over the flames as we began grilling pieces of the wyvern, which we decided to cut off as it was too large. Some pieces still had the bones attached to them, but bones made things tastier, right? So, it\'s for the best.

There was also a lot of grease, surprisingly. This wyvern was putting on some weight, and the tasty meat became even tastier as the juices of the grease slowly attached to it and began to meld with the meat.

"Look, Sylphy. This is my special marinating sauce. I put it over the meat when I grill it so it tastes even better…" father said as he retrieved a small bottle from his inventory, which had some sauce on it.

The sauce was very liquid, looking like a mixture of herbs with other juices…

"Oh, what\'s in there?" I wondered.

"There\'s a lot of aromatic and tasty herbs inside. I also mixed it with lemon juice and other fruit juices, mostly citric ones. The meat becomes tasty because of it," father replied, his tone somewhat proud.

"Ooohh… so that\'s why it always has this sweet and citric flavor… and the aroma that your grilled meat always has… it was all because of this! You\'re pretty good at cooking grilled meat, father. You even think about stuff like this!" I could not help but say.

"Hahaha! Yeah, this sauce is not my own recipe, though. It was made by my mother. Because we used to wander around all the time, we often hunted for food whenever we wanted to eat a lot in dinner… because the best way to quickly cook a lot of meat was by grilling, my mother came out with ideas like this sauce, to always give it a nice flavor to add to the meat, so it wouldn\'t taste bland," father said in response.

"Ooh, I see… it must have been a fun childhood if you were able to wander everywhere…" I said.

"Haha! It certainly was! My father was very strict with training and all, but it was what made me into the strong man I am right now. With the strength my father helped me to grow, I\'ve been able to protect Faylen and you… well… I… I wasn\'t able to protect you… I guess I wasn\'t…" he said with pride, only for his tone to become sorrowful soon after as he let out a sigh.

Suddenly remembering what I went through with Hell, my father quickly fell into silence as he looked at the grilling meat.

I hugged my father and comforted him.

"Don\'t worry about it, father… you did everything you could, it wasn\'t something we could predict…" I consoled him.

"Ah… I guess… but still, I get flashbacks to it and… Sylphy, how can you deal with such things if you were the one… most affected by it?" he asked.

I looked into my father\'s eyes. Our conversation and our mood quickly shifted into this out of nowhere… then again, I get it. Sometimes remembering traumatic experiences can make people change their mood in seconds.

I suppose my father wasn\'t capable of protecting me back then. I would have really died back then if it wasn\'t because of the glitched system\'s endless HP… I don\'t know what my father would have done himself. Perhaps they would have attempted to revive me even as I was on the floor made into a pulp. Then again, I don\'t know if there were ways to revive people in this world.

Well, I\'m not particularly traumatized, but I really don\'t want to talk about it…

"I don\'t want to talk about it… father, just forget about these things for now. Come on, mother\'s pregnant, and we are about to celebrate it. Let\'s not dwell in the past. Instead, let\'s be happy and thankful we can all be together now," I told him, wanting to change topics.

"S-Sylphy… Y-You\'re right! I shouldn\'t be… thinking about this… I just love you so much it makes me sad when I think about this stuff! But you\'re right! L-Let\'s just enjoy the moment and be happy as we are!" he replied, nodding and hugging me tightly.

He kissed my cheek and my forehead, then he rubbed the tip of his nose with mine.

"You\'re my precious little girl… I won\'t… let that happen to you ever again…" he said.

"Father… don\'t worry," I said as I kissed the tip of his nose.

"Hahh… Ah! The meat! Damn it!" My father quickly began to turn the meat around so it wouldn\'t end up charred on one side.

"Is it ready?" mother could not help but ask, who came out of the house.

"Yeah, almost ready, dear," replied my father.

"Here, I brought you some juice," she said soon after.

Mother brough us some Eden Apple juice with some ice cubes on it. Well, it was very refreshing. Because of it, I realized I haven\'t drunk any water in the entire day, and my throat was quite dry.

Ahh. The taste of apple juice is so nice, especially when it\'s so sweet and cold…

"Hmm… this really hits the spot…" Father let out a satisfied sigh.

"Eden Apple is pretty good for pies and juice, after all. It even enhances your physical body and magical power slightly," mother said in response.

"Wow, it does that?" I asked.

"You never figured it out?" mother asked back.

"Ahh… W-Well, maybe not as much…" I replied, letting out a light chuckle.

I knew it helped a bit, but not that it did it permanently… wait, could one of the reasons why I have so much magic power is because I\'ve been eating magic fruits since I was a baby? I guess a healthy diet is very important…
