Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

Without realizing the day went by very fast. After leaving the lamb roasting, I went to visit all the farm animals one by one. I had a nice time checking on the ducks, who always seem so friendly and adorable. The hens pecked me as usual, the horsies happily munched on my hair, the cows mooed, and gooses were as aggressive as I remember them! Although some of them remembered me and approached friendlily. .

At some point Blackie went off into the forest and I felt a bit worried he would get lost. But the Great Spirit told me I was able to sense where he was and call him back if necessary by utilizing the [Familiar Sense] spell. After using it and finding out he was hunting rats, I left him be for now.

The lamb meat was so much that we had even for dinner. The meat was specially delicious for some reason, even more than I had imagined or remembered. Now that I remember that too, I also remember that the food I’ve cooked since last week has been quite amazing.

Could this be related to magic?

“This meat is so tasty, it’s to kill for!” Said my father, laughing a bit. “Seasoning alone wouldn’t make this so good, just what kind of magic did you use on this?”

“Hahaha, it is just what you see in there, dear.” My mother giggled. “We’ve added the usual mix of herbs, some chili and also a bit of soy sauce. But it hasn’t changed much.”

“Hmm, I can’t stop eating!” Mary was delighted. “But I think that big sis added her touch in this! She’s amazing at cooking after all.”

“Certainly, she really is.” Mark agreed. “I’ve enjoyed many of her meals, each one has been amazing. She adds a lot of love to what she prepares.”

“Miss Elayne’s food is just the best there is!” Elisa praised me too.

“Mom’s food is good, yeah.” Elena agreed.

“It is exactly connected to your magic!” The Great Spirit said. “Since you’ve begun to develop your magic powers that part of your strongest skills effects manifest as “magic effects” although rather weak, the passive effects do work, somewhat.”

I see, so I guess magic does affect my food positively. It makes it tastier, and maybe it helps people feel better or more satiated? I hope it doesn’t have any… bad effect though.

This moment with family was quite heartwarming, but I also felt slightly worried about my little sister, Henrietta. She had refused to join us today because she was vegetarian, and disliked when we had to butcher animals, never helping.

I can understand her really well to be honest, though mom and dad treat her a bit too harsh sometimes because she’s a bit selfish with her way of being. But she hasn’t showed up at all since I came here, and it is worrying me.

“I’ll go bring some food to Henrietta, I’ve prepared her this apple pie and some vegetarian burgers…” I said, quickly packing things for her.

“Eeh? Do you have to spoil her this much? She’s been really rude lately.” My mother sighed.

“She screamed at your mother that she hated her! And only because she said she should try to eat meat a bit.” Sighed father.

“Come on you two! She’s vegetarian, asking her to eat meat is just going to anger her, are you even thinking the words you say? It was obvious you were going to get that response!” I reprimanded the two.

“Ah but…” Sighed father. “Ugh, maybe…”

“We’re getting older, raising her has been harder than we thought.” Mother apologized. “Perhaps I don’t have as much patience…”

“Alright, you two come here with me and apologize to her.” I ordered them.

“Eh?! But Elayne…” My father complained.

“No, its fine… We should really apologize.” My mother said. “Isn’t Henrietta as precious as all our children? Dear, don’t be so harsh, she’s your most spoiled girl after all.”

“Ahhh…” My father sighed, quickly getting up from his seat.

Like that, we walked upstairs and knocked the door, finding her there over the bed with her laptop.

“Hey you didn’t even tried to wait for me to open the door!” She complained.

My little sister, Henrietta was the youngest daughter of my parents, she was born 21 years ago when they were a bit over 40, so it is quite obvious they were past their prime for patience in raising children.

Because of this, she grew… more spoiled than the rest, my parents didn’t taught her everything well enough, and she became rather rude and self-centered. Nonetheless, she’s still my baby sister, so I can’t just leave her alone.

She might be rude and a bit selfish, but its not like they’re not in fault for her getting this angered.

“Sorry…” I sighed. “How are you, sis?”

“Elayne…” She looked at me with a bit of surprise. “What do you want?” She asked, furrowing her eyebrows.

“E-Eh? Don’t be so rude, geez. I made you some apple pie and veggie burgers! Try them out!” I said, quickly putting them over the nearby table.

“Ohh…” She looked at them with a clear hunger in her eyes. However, she remained defensive, glaring back angrily at our parents behind me. “W-What do they want though?”

“We came to apologize.” My mother said.

“Yeah…” Father sighed.

“Huh? Apologize?” Henrietta was taken aback.

“Sorry dear, I shouldn’t had been so annoying overeating meat…” Sighed mother.

“Y-Yeah, and sorry as well. I probably got a bit too angered.” Father apologized too.

“Come on Henrietta, want to come down and eat with the family? Everyone miss you. We brought new friends too.” I said. “I… I want my friends to meet my entire family.”

Henrietta pouted a bit, looking into the floor.

“Ugh, fine, whatever…” She sighed, shrugging as she walked downstairs with us. “Only because you asked, sis.” Although her attitude needed a bit of an improvement, she ended agreeing.

Like that, she stuffed herself eating the veggie burgers I made for her and then ate most of the apple pie. She was really hungry…

“This is so good! Big sis makes the best apple pie!” She cried happily. “And these burgers are so amazing too! What the heck?! You should definitely open a restaurant!”

“That’s what I ALWAYS say!” Laughed Mary.

“Right? She’s just amazingly talented.” Harry agreed.

“Hahah, come on, you’ll make me blush…” I laughed happily.

These warm moments… I’ll always keep them inside of my heart.

I love you all so much.
