This was a scene not so long ago, in the same year as the Holy Grail War, on the night of February 13, more than half a year ago, and only Alice Fell had a mother-daughter conversation with her daughters.

After learning the meaning of St. Valentine's Day, Alice Phil would come to the kitchen every year on the night before this sweet festival and "hide" the magical desserts that Chu Xuan made*.

And on this day this year, there were a few more little girls beside her.

Seven-year-old Illyasfil, five-year-old Sakura, and four-year-old Karen have already agreed with their mothers that they will watch them make delicious chocolates tonight.

"Mom, give me some food first! Just a small piece! ”

Watching Alice Phil pour the chocolate into the small pot, prepare to put it in the cauldron, and use the water bath to heat it, the greedy Illyasfil couldn't help it, and pulled her mother's apron next to her, trying to get a piece of chopped chocolate raw material to taste.

"It's dark chocolate for nothing, do you dare to eat it?"

Alice Phil, who had always had a gentle smile on her face, turned her head and said as if she was deliberately trying to scare a child, but Illyasfil, who was already a "big child", certainly wouldn't fall for it so easily - although she didn't know what difference "dark chocolate" was other than being a little darker than regular chocolate.

"Dare to eat! Dare to eat! Give it to me! ”

Illyasfil, who couldn't help but want to drool when she thought of the fragrant sweetness of chocolate, jumped to her feet and spoiled her mother, Alice Phil, who had long expected this outcome, sighed helplessly, and then picked up a small piece of dark chocolate from the cooking table, which is very high for children, and put it in her daughter's mouth.

"Hmm......"

The top-quality natural dark chocolate melts as soon as it enters Illyasfil's pink lips, but hidden behind the tantalizing aroma is a pure bitterness that even the little ones can't enjoy from it.

"Even if you don't like it, don't spit it out, or I'll tell Dad."

Just as the eyes became the shape of "Illyasfil" was about to spit out the bitter water in her mouth, Alice Phil's warning also fell lightly, so the little girl who liked her father very much had to endure the bitterness, stretched her neck and swallowed the dark chocolate that had melted with a little saliva into her stomach.

Sakura and Karen, who had been tempted by the pure scent of the chopped dark chocolate on the counter, saw their sister's painful expression and immediately dismissed the idea of following her sister to ask for chocolate.

"Puff ......"

After swallowing the unpalatable thing, Illyasfil exhaled heavily, stuck out her tongue, and gasped for a moment like a lovely "starman" before she looked at her mother with watery eyes and said:

"Mom...... Bad eyes. ”

"So, not only listen to your father, but also listen to your mother~"

Alice Phil didn't care at all about her daughter's accusations, but took the opportunity to educate her eldest daughter who seemed to be beginning to enter a "period of resistance".

Illyasfil pouted a little unconvinced, and immediately tried to refute her mother's words:

"Hmph, Dad is a genius, he can do everything, and he does everything better than Mom!"

"Well, yes...... But there is only one thing, Mom is better than Dad. ”

Alice Phil proudly boasted to her three daughters while tending to the small pots that were fixed to a special shelf and heated in a bath:

"Only in terms of cooking, your mother has surpassed your father, this is your father's own admission, there will be no mistake."

"Liar, deceitful! Mom, you almost never cook! ”

Although Sakura and Karen easily believed Alice Field's words, Illyasfield, who had probably entered the "period of resistance", questioned her mother's words.

The three meals of the Einzberen family have always been taken care of by the professional chef maid in the kitchen, and Chu Xuan and his wife, as the masters, rarely cook by themselves, and Alice Phil cooks alone...... At least Illyasfil saw it for the first time today.

"Cooking is actually very simple, in fact, it is the same as making potions, as long as you control the dosage of various ingredients, processing methods, temperature and duration, etc., Mom has already completely 'copied' Dad's cooking skills.

And compared to Dad, Mom also has more mysterious seasonings, so the taste of the food is a little better than Dad. ”

"What is it?"

Alice Field's mysterious appearance really attracted the attention of the three daughters, and even the "smart" Illya Fell into the trap of her mother.

"It's 'love', as long as there is 'love' in it, no matter what kind of food it is, it will become more delicious."

Alice Fell bent down and swore to her daughters, her ruby eyes shining like stars in the sky in the light of the fire.

"Wow!" x3

The three little girls were easily deceived and let out an exclamation that made Alice Phil unusually satisfied, but then the youngest Karen, tilted her head and asked:

"Mom, what is 'love'?"

Like Kalian, Illyasfil and Sakura have been able to correctly apply the word "love" to their conversations, but they also don't understand what "love" is.

"Hmm......"

Alice Field's daughter's question caused a little trouble, and she stared at the pot and thought hard for more than ten seconds before she replied:

"Love is long-suffering and kind; Love is not jealousy; Love is not boastful, not arrogant;

He does not do anything that he is ashamed of, he does not seek his own good, he does not be quick to anger, he does not count the wickedness of men,

He does not like unrighteousness, but only the truth;

Bear all things, believe all things, hope all things, endure all things;

Love never ends. ”

"It's too hard, Mom understands? There's nothing simple. ”

Alice Field's "cunning" recitation of the contents of the Bible immediately made the heads of the three children a little dizzy.

"Actually...... Mom didn't understand either.

For moms, love is ......"

Using the methods of adults to deal with children, this made Alice Phil a little embarrassed, this time, she pondered seriously for dozens of seconds, and then her face gradually became serious and sacred.

"No matter whether you are rich or poor, whether you are good or bad, whether you are sick or healthy, always love him, obey him, comfort him, respect him, protect him, be faithful to him, and even be called to the Lord.

Where he goes, I will go; Where he stays, I will stay there; His kingdom is my kingdom, and his God is my God. ”

In Alice Field, the little girls seemed to see some kind of true and sincere holy radiance, and although they could not understand the weight of this vow at all, this did not prevent them from beginning to worship their mother a little.

Well...... It's just a little less than the adoration of Daddy.

"No, but it seems to be more complicated......"

Lovely Sakura frowned and said, but she was already the smartest, although Illyasfil and Karen's eyes were shining, there was nothing in them at all, just worshipping her mother's holy form at this time.

"Hmm...... I just want to have a baby for my father. ”

This time, Alice Phil only thought about it briefly, and then replied to her daughters with a smile without blushing.

Hey...... Madame, is it too early to talk to the children about such things?

"Kid! Is that us! ”

When he finally heard what he could understand, Illyasfil threw up her hands and jumped up excitedly, looking at her mother happily and shouting loudly, her scarlet eyes full of pure joy just like her mother's.

"Yes, you are the love of Dad and Mommy."

Alice Field's eyes revealed a deep and gentle look like an ocean that can only appear after being a mother, and nodded with great certainty to her daughters who were full of anticipation.

"Wow ~ Wow ~ We are love!" x3

This time, the well-behaved Sakura and Karene also followed their sister with their hands raised and jumped around Alice Phil, although they were actually in a state of seeming to understand, but this did not stop them from cheering for it.

Because -- at least they all know -- "love" is a very, very powerful, very, very important thing.

"Mom, Mom, will we go to China as a family in the future?"

After cheering enough, Sakura suddenly asked the question, and it seemed that she did understand a little bit of the meaning of the phrase "his kingdom is mine".

This question made Alice Field's eyes fluctuate slightly, but she still maintained a warm smile, and held her three daughters in front of her with open arms, and looked at them very seriously, and said:

"Yes, when you grow up a little more, your father will definitely take you to China - because that is the motherland where your father was born and raised, and you must also grow up there Chengren!"

The children could not yet distinguish the subtle difference between their mother's answer and the question just now, and because of their mother's words, they were caught up in the longing for the "motherland" that was ancient, mysterious, and yet beautiful, and above all, gave birth to their father.

"Mom! I also want to have a baby for my dad! ”

Suddenly, Illyasfil, who liked her father the most, was the first to raise her hand and loudly announced to the family, and before Alice Phil could react, Sakura and Karen also raised their hands at the same time:

"We're going to have a baby for dad too!" x2

"Ah......h

Alice Fell smiled a little troubledly, but after thinking carefully for half a minute, she nodded affirmatively to her daughters:

"It's absolutely not okay for other people's families, but it's okay for our family!"
