Once we wore the bracelets, their spiritual and magical powers quickly boosted our strength as long as we had them equipped. With all these stacked equipment we've made through this long week, we felt more than ready to take on anything now.
"These bracelets are just the best!" Rita said happily, wearing them and quickly feeling the magical power flowing through her body. "And you say they decrease the Mana Cost of Spells by -25%?! It is an insane cheat!"
"And the Gods further blessed it with Spiritual Resonance, with this you can call and resonate with your spirits even easily." I said. "With everything we've got, the only thing left is to wait for them to come… Now let's go have dinner."
"Yeah, let's go." Mark nodded. "Though going around with these items is a bit…"
"I know, let me store them for you. Once we go out, I'll give them back, don't worry." I nodded. Going around with a giant beast-like helmet, shields, and a coat was really weird, so it was better to save them for later, yeah.
Like that, we made our way back home and found my mother with my sisters cooking something up.
"Hey look who's finally back! You three disappeared for hours! It's almost dinner now. Were you having fun?" Wondered my mom.
"Y-Yeah!" Rita said. "We went shopping and I got myself this tiny mouse."
"Huh? Never thought you would get yourself a pet, Rita." Said Mary. "I thought you… hated rats, no? Didn't Henrietta had a pet rat when she was very little and you were terrified by it?"
"Yeah I remember chasing you around with the tiny Mister Cheese and you ran away like crazy." Henrietta laughed.
"T-That's long in the past!" Said Rita while laughing nervously.
"Let me see it!" Henrietta quickly grabbed the little Whitey, petting his tiny head. "He's so cuteee!"
"Kyu, kyu!" Whitey seemed slightly nervous by being grabbed around though.
"Henrietta don't just go around grabbing a rat when we are cooking…" My mother sighed. "Now finish making the salad!"
"A-Ah, right. I'll wash my hands…" My sister quickly gave the rat back to Rita, while I joined with them and Rita to finish dinner. Meanwhile, Mark, my father, and my brother, who got along pretty well by now, began preparing the table.
After a few minutes, we were all enjoying dinner together. Mom had prepared a delicious turkey leg for dinner, which was so big it was enough meat for everyone. we enjoyed the meal together and happily.
"Ah, this salad you prepared is so fresh, Henrietta! You added some nice spices too." I was surprised.
"Yep I added a bit of Olive Oil, Coconut Milk, some Apple Vinegar, amongst other things. I know salad tends to taste bland so I like to give it a nice twist." She said, while eating a Vegan Burger I prepared for her.
"I never tasted a salad with these many flavors before…" Elena was surprised.
"Is that so~? Then I could begin preparing salad with more of these things if you want to." I said with a smile.
"Hmm, wouldn't be so bad. I especially didn't thought coconut milk would go this well…" Elena was surprised.
"Nah, the killer tonight is still this amazing turkey! I can't believe how tender and flavorful the meat is!" Anna was shocked.
"Well, we steamed it and then grilled with a lot of spices." Said my mother. "Eat as much as you want dear, you look in the bones compared to Elena!"
My mother quickly gave Anna another big chunk of meat, which my daughter's friend quickly began devouring.
"So what were you guys up to while we were taking a nap?" My father wondered while sipping some wine.
"W-We were… well, we were exploring the town and stuff." I said.
"We saw some cops around the town, it seems that there's a lot of feral animals lately, some had even tried getting inside the town." Mark said smartly.
"O-Oh yeah! They said it would be safer if we stayed home for the rest of the night. Also let's make sure to lock the farm animals well enough…" I nodded.
"I see, well there are indeed some wild boars out there. Even a bear might show up." My father said.
Thanks to Mark's idea, we managed to secure that our family would remain locked in the house for the rest of the night. When dinner finally ended, and we made sure everyone was on their rooms, we quickly escaped from my room's window and then we decided to set up our extra defense plan.
"These Totems were designed exclusively to conjure a protective barrier. If we combine them with the Spiritual Seeds you've created, I think it should be enough to even hold off a hundred Hollows." Said Mark.
"Alright, that's good enough…" I sighed in relief. "Its amazing that the materials of the strong monsters can also be repurposed as "Offerings" for the Totems you make."
"Yeah, with my new Spell {Totem Offerings}, I can offer precious magical items to the totem spirits, which will boost their power much beyond their original abilities." Mark nodded.
Leaving the offerings near the totems, we quickly decided to make our way into the town's outskirts, an enormous group of monsters was drawing closer as we walked across the night.
The monster the Gods named "Phantasmos" must have finally arrived. We cannot let him even set foot on our town; we'll eliminate him before that even happens!
