Chapter 973: The Next Day
-----
I greeted my family for lunch, as it was already quite late. And after a few explanations of how I went, things calmed down and we enjoyed the meals together. My family was still very happy and shocked that we won't against such a strong being. But I think they had already gotten rather used to the level of accomplishments we were doing.
"S-So, now that the mountains are freed from the dragon, it seems we'll be able to finally benefit from the mithril there." My father said. "I heard the chief was going to make a huge celebration over your victory. Maybe even the Duke was going to come with his family too."
"That would be interesting, though I don't particularly care about being celebrated or something... If possible I would just skip all of that." I said, drinking some tea after lunch.
"You can't just say that though, big bro!" Anna complained.
"Y-Yeah! It's super cool what you did, be proud!" Said Allan.
"I guess..." I shrugged. "I just feel it is unnecessary to celebrate when the world is still in chaos out there. But fine, it's not like I was going to run away or something."
"I hope so." Elizabeth said. "I want you to be well presentable for that day. I think it'll be tomorrow. It will be a big meeting and a big celebration. Bestellen was a ridiculously strong being, a fallen god it could be said. What we did is a feat at the level of Hero Dylan... If not even higher?"
"What are the feats of that guy?" I asked.
"From what I've heard, he had slain a few Demon Overlords in the frontline." Said Elizabeth. "But they couldn't be as strong as Bestellen, right?"
"Definitely not, but if he slain them by himself, then he's indeed very strong." I nodded. "Well, I don't care if we are compared or not."
"You sure don't care about many things, grandson, but you need to understand that they are very impactful and amazing for the people around you." My grandmother stated. "For the sake of these people, please accept their celebrations and congratulations."
"...I will, and I understand what you're saying, grandma." I nodded. "Don't worry." She nodded grumpily after my words.
"Of course." Elizabet smiled.
"I got some ice cream here too, let's share it." I said, opening my inventory.
"Oooh, is that the cold cream thingy? I want some of that too!" My grandma asked.
"Granny, don't you think you're eating too many sweets nowadays?" My father sighed.
"Shut it you! I am old and I don't really have much time left, so let me enjoy the little time I got left! I'll eat all I want, heh!" My grandmother smiled proudly and cockily.
"You heard her." I shrugged.
"Ice cream! Ice cream!" Anna and Allan were almost singing in unison.
Everyone liked this ice cream I started making recently. I suppose using the recipe to mass produce it wouldn't be so bad in the future.
As the day went by, we enjoyed a nice dessert of ice cream and delicious, fresh fruit salad, with whipped cream on top.
It was a rather big dessert, but we were all hungry anyways, and with family, laughter, and good food, the sun went down from the horizon faster than I thought.
When the night was slowly arriving, I was resting over the grass field right in front of my house, looking at my grimoire.
"Hmm, so there was a quest to defeat Bestellen, huh?" I was surprised. "The rewards better be generous..."
