"Th-They're coming with me?" I asked, unable to suppress the excited smile that continued to streak across my face.

With them here, I wouldn't mind visiting those old hags.

"Indeed…" My mother muttered before getting up from her desk and taking off the augmented reality glasses that let her down her work from anywhere and anytime.

She walked straight up to me and wrapped those warm arms around me, filling me with a sense of sorrow since I wouldn't be able to feel this kind of warmth for another two months.

"Hey, you still got Mia," My mother smirked, and after she kissed me on the forehead a couple of times, we waved each other goodbye, and a single butler gestured for me to follow him.

It didn't take long for me to set off from home after only staying for a couple more days, but for some reason, I was a bit excited.

Despite having to meet those old women again, I would be able to see the rest of the world in all of its wonders.

Just exploring was something amazing and extremely fun, so as I stepped on the teleporter… I could barely contain my excitement.

"Young miss, please calm down otherwise, the backlash as soon as we teleport may cause extreme nausea,"

"I'm fine," I muttered, and I soon saw the butler roll his eyes before snapping his fingers, causing all of us to be enveloped in an almost angelic white light.

As soon as it finished wrapping around us, I felt my body numb and then gain feeling again as the light began to disappear, and I found myself shivering and nearly throwing up in the middle of a blizzard.

"Let's go, young miss," My maid of death muttered, and as they dragged my luggage out of the stone teleporter, I looked up to see the massive castle sitting on the top of this mountain, overlooking an entire city.

When I peered over the edge of such a mountain, feeling my feet dig into frigid snow, causing my knees to sink below the very top, I saw something beautiful.

It was around the early evening but the sun had still set, causing the small lights of the massive city below to create a wonderful spectacle as it contrasted against the harsh wintry conditions.

"Young miss, you'll catch a cold," I felt a warm hand slowly slip onto my shoulder, and when I jerked my head around with surprise, I noticed the maid of fire had come to get me.

I nodded my head ever so slightly before taking her hand and walking into the castle, where I was greeted by a few butlers who kindly took my things.

"Greetings, young miss. I am the head butler, Alsta, but you may refer to me as however you please. Please, get comfortable and treat this as your own home… the Mistress of the castle shall be arriving shortly,"

"It's alright. I know she's busy with work,"

"Whose busy with what?" A voice suddenly echoed across the stone brick hall, and as I lifted my head up, I saw my wonderful mother standing proudly with her hands on her hips.

My eyes quickly lit up, and I dropped all things, forcing my maids to reluctantly pick them up while I jumped into my mother's arms.

She lightly stroked my hair with her calloused hands, but I didn't mind that much since her warmth was out of this world.

The maid of fire might've been warmer, to be honest, but mama's warmth was familiar and something that I loved.

"I love you," She whispered and showered the top of my head with hundreds of kisses before leading me down the hall, where she showed off her various treasures.

They were encased in thick glass that even the most powerful of fireballs most likely wouldn't be able to penetrate.

Monsters and various items that I would've never dreamed of seeing in my life were presented to me, but the things that caught my attention the most were the beautiful maids and the very handsome butlers that anybody would drool over.

Not to say the ones back in my castle in Japan weren't good-looking, but I don't know… there was just something about the way they carried themselves with such confidence… and their amazing looks, of course.

"Fufufufu… Would you like a few of these maids? I could have them serve you personally," She lightly chuckled, and as I blushed profusely, she cupped my chin and lightly rubbed my cheek with her thumb.

"N-No, the maids I have with me are fine. And I know they are very reliable,"

After chatting for a few more minutes, we directed ourselves into one of her offices that were scattered with various lab equipment and chemicals and solutions that must've been not legal since, well… I mean, mama was using it.

She pulled out a free chair for me to sit at across her desk, and as she slumped into her office chair that twirled around on its wheels, her eyes suddenly went serious.

"So, what is this talk about stirring up trouble at school? Did we send you to school to study or create trouble? Hm?" She asked, and the scolding had already begun.

I knew it was going to come eventually, but no matter how much I prepared myself for it, mama's scolding was always much more intense and scary than mother's.

Mama was always outward and yelled or had such a stern voice, while mother had a cold expression and normally just stayed silent, which was more than enough for me to learn from my mistakes.

"I'm telling you, it's a misunderstanding-"

"Don't back-talk me," She swiftly interrupted, and as her pressure weighed down on the back of my head, I could only hang it until it felt as if it was about to rip clean off. "Did you at least put them in a wheelchair?"

I looked up and saw mama slightly smirking with the pressure gone and as she moved a small glowing green solution towards me, I opened my mouth.

"Of course," I grinned and mama smiled back with an almost ear-to-ear grin.
