Category: Seeking Out My Mother in Another World

Karen Totoria Quioy. Age: Twenty. Female. Race: Elf. She is the sole surviving member of the Quioy family, one of the six ancestral elven clans. Her middle name, ‘Totoria’ comes from an ancient elven language, meaning ‘To Beyond—Successor—Presence’. This signifies that she is the successor of a clan outside the main lineage—and a member of…

The first thing that came to mind was, ‘It’s big’. Judging by my eyes, it’s roughly the same size as Ji Liz. It’s shorter than the SerpetTurtleShark we defeated before, but that one had a long tail and body, and it was a sea battle. Fighting something on land, especially something attacking from the sky,…

The adventure (such a romantic word…) had been going smoothly. After the second day, we hadn’t faced any major trouble. There had been only a few monster attacks, and thankfully, no mutants appeared. It was almost too calm, the word ‘uneventful’ seemed fitting. 「To begin with, it’s not like you run into mutants that often.」…

In the dead of night, Karen shook me awake. It was my turn for the night watch. Noah, also awake, and I stepped out of the tent and made our way to the campfire. There, Parker-san, who was on the night watch with Karen, handed us a cup. 「Here, take this.」 「Oh, thank you.」 「Thanks…

Our journey through the woods, following the ways of seasoned adventurers, was both fresh and filled with valuable lessons. From the methods of scouting, to caution, the pacing of our march, how to respond to sudden changes, and even the paths we chose — all of it reflected Schnei-san’s knowledge, skills, instincts, and judgment. What…

The next day arrived. Thus, the investigation team for the Elven settlement—our temporary party—was formed and departed from the main gate of Sidera. By the way, it had only been about half a month since Pochi and we of the Hatano family made a round trip, so, generally speaking, it was still a restricted period.…

Volume 7 – There are Secrets in the Void Forest Chapter 36 – Shadow Falling Over the Village As autumn deepens, what is the neighbor up to? —Though when I say neighbor, there’s quite a distance between us. So, the day has come for us to investigate the elven settlement that, like us, resides within…

And so, the party continued. People chatted with each other, marriage was celebrated in various corners, and the main participants were constantly in demand. In the midst of this, everyone enjoyed the food, and countless toasts were made. At the peak of the festivities—when Berde-san and Schnei-san signaled to gather everyone’s attention, they stood formally.…

I bought all the ingredients at the market. I took a stroll around the town with Chocola. I played to my heart’s content with Mint. I relaxed leisurely with Noah and the others. And at night, I slept soundly with Karen. And so, the day of the party finally arrived. 「Mother, could you chill these…

That night, everyone gathered around the dinner table. The entire Hatano family, including Grandma Seralinde, was there, along with Noah and Parker-san. And, of course, the fairies. I introduced the fairies to Grandma and Noah’s group. In other words, I showed them photos on my smartphone so they could recognize the fairies. This was something…

The journey went smoothly. The biggest concern was Mint’s sleep schedule, but we managed to handle it through sheer force. Essentially, we had the lizard carriage go on even while Mint took root and slept. Then, we’ll just have her rush up to us again when she wakes up at daybreak. Of course, we didn’t…

In the Kingdom of Sorx, commoners do not have the custom of holding wedding ceremonies. When they get married, they simply register at the local government office and that’s it. Of course, they might greet each other’s parents and move in together to start their married life, but the necessary procedures are purely practical. The…

Chapter 35 – Adding Flowers to The Town That Nestles With The Forest The King and Queen of the kingdom have a custom of enjoying tea together in the afternoon, amid their daily duties. Their peaceful respite is calm and modest. They sip tea that isn’t particularly high-end and sample sweets identical to those sold…

Thus, the miso was completed, and I was all set—well, that’s what I wanted to say.  However, I decided to suppress my urge to use it right away and waited just one more night.  The reason? The next day was coincidentally a fried day.  It’s the weekly tradition of the Hatano family, a taste of…

The process of making miso—once you have the ingredients, it’s surprisingly simple.  First, soak the thoroughly washed soybeans in water. A good rule of thumb is to use about three times the amount of water compared to soybeans, soaking them for at least half a day. The key is to ensure they are fully hydrated,…

I handed Mint an empty bottle I found in the kitchen cupboard. She took it, squatted down in the center of the garden, and began to channel her magic power into the soil.  The torrent of magic power that flowed forth was so robust and grand that even we—mother, the world’s strongest witch—could only watch…

And so, for dinner, we’re going all out with tofu. Let’s show the power of soybeans! First, the main dish will be deep-fried tofu stuffed with cheese.  Then, a champuru made with pork and various vegetables.  For the side dishes, we’ll have stir-fried soy bean sprouts and a white sesame dressing with spinach and carrots. …

As we prepared for winter, we had one significant concern: Mint’s eating habits.  During the day, when Mint is with us, she primarily eats soft foods like vegetables, fruits, and soup. She rarely consumes meat or fish.  …Rather, she ‘eats at night’.  In other words—when the sun sets and she falls asleep as a bud…

Mother and the others returned with a bountiful harvest of mushrooms.  As expected for the fruitful autumn season, there were clusters of mushrooms growing everywhere, and they had apparently been conservative in their gathering. Along with mushrooms, they also brought back akebi, wild grapes, and pomegranates, which Mint was excitedly planning to share with the…

Chapter 34 – The View Was Clear, And the Sound of The Wind Then we partied late into the night.  Eventually, Schnei-san and Tomoe-san joined us after learning about Berde-san and the others, turning it into a grand celebration for everyone. We returned to the inn just as dawn broke, barely having slept, and rode…
