The Hero Took Everything from Me, So I Partied with the Hero’s Mother! Chapter 224

Serena’s POV

I have arrived at the lower world.

It seems like my adventure will begin from here.

For a while, it seems like I will be taken care of by my sister l.

However, before that, there is a place I want to visit.

It is the place I have always dread of - the slave market.

Mom (Shizuko) was sold here and Dad bought her.

If a woman as beautiful as Mom is being sold there, I have to go see it.

"Welco... What? A kid, huh...? What do you want, little boy?"

It's true that I might be a little boy, but I have money.

There shouldn't be any problems, right?

"Uncle, it's true that I'm a little boy, but I have money. Look."

I showed him gold coins from the giant storage bag where everyone had given money.

They told not to show everything and not to waste it, so I just show him 20 gold coins.

"Hahaha, you're a rich kid. What kind of slave are you looking for, a woman or a man?"

"I'm looking for a beautiful woman."

"Ah, a lover or a plaything, I see. Then this is the place for you. How about this, we have plenty of beautiful won?"

There is only flat girls with long ears. I think discriminating based on appearance is not acceptable. But... there was no one I thought was as beautiful as my moms.

"Have you seen anyone here who can be considered mature? Soone who is not a child but more mature and beautiful?"

"Um... There are won here who are older than 25, is it okay if they are called old? Do you want a housemaid? We have one..."

That's not good enough.

None of them are as pretty as moms.

That's right...

If it were that easy to find, why would they send off crying?

"Thank you. I will co back again."

"Slaves get replaced fairly quickly, so please co back and take a look again in about a month."

"Yes."

It's late today... shall I visit other slaver trader again?

But l-oneechan will be worried if I co too late...

l’s POV

From now on, a child will be coming to my house.

He is my mother's child, so he will beco my younger brother… Even though we are separated by hundreds of years, it is difficult to call him my brother. There is a significant age difference.

It is even wider than that between a great-grandparent and a great-grandchild.

Sigh... I feel depressed.

I'm better off alone...

After all, it's been hundreds of years since Zect died… Despite appearing young on the outside, I am old and wilted on the inside as I am over many centuries old.

How can I, an old lady (Baba), take care of a child?

Especially, they want to treat him like I would a grandchild.

They also want to help with his future career, but how am I supposed to guide a child whom I've never t, and who has no special skills?

Are they expecting to take on him as my apprentice or sothing?

"l-oneechan, I will be in your care from today… My na is Serena."

"You are Serena-kun, huh? I am l, your sister, the great sage! Nice to et you!"

Haa, Haa… He's incredibly cute. Since Zect died, I haven't fallen in 'love' with any n.

My heart doesn't flutter for any man I see until now...

However, this is unfair…

It's not fair... it's just like the two guys I used to love.

If you think about it, if he has Shizuko-san's blood in him, it's not surprising that he looks like Zect.

If you add Ceres and Zect and make him more noble, they beco Serena.

Moreover, he is only 12 years old, which makes him incredibly cute.

As for , since I have the appearance of a 15-year-old, it's not a problem at all, right?

We'll be perfect for each other.

"Please take care of , l-oneechan."

"I don't like it... Just call l. So, shall we go out for a al today to celebrate Serena-kun's arrival?"

"l-oneechan."

"Just l..."

"l, you shouldn't waste money too much."

"Hahaha, don't worry. I'm rich enough."

To be honest, I have a huge fortune.

"Well... however, if it's a celebration, I will be the one to cook for l-oneecha—l, would you like sothing to eat?"

"That's great... you can cook?"

"Yes, just a little though."

"Hahaha, I've also beco capable of cooking sothing, but I'm not very good at it. Feel free to use anything in the magic fridge and cook sothing for ."

"Okay, I'll do it."

Co to think of it, it's been a while since I've had soone cook a al for , since I've always eaten out or cooked badly by myself.

I thought about hiring a housekeeper but decided against it.

So what is he going to cook for ...

"l...I'm done. I hope it tastes good."

"Wow, olette rice...hehe, and a heart mark... Then, I'll have it. It's delicious."

"I'm glad you like it."

This is not fair.

"It's delicious...really delicious...Serena-kun...it's delicious..."

"l...why are you crying?"

"Ahaha, I wonder if it's because this is so delicious."

This is more delicious to than any other gourt al...

Well, of course it is... it's Ceres' olette rice!

"l... I don't want you to cry."

"Okay... I won't cry... h-hic."

Why are they even the sa when it cos to touching their noses...that gesture of scratching their noses when troubled...they're just like Zect and Ceres...both scratch their noses when they're in trouble...

"Are you alright?"

"I'm fine... yes, it's really delicious... may I have another serving of this, please?"

"Sure, we have enough ingredients, so it's not a problem."

"Thank you."

The boy of my dreams just appeared in front of ... and I don't know what to do anymore.
