After retelling my story to the three of them, the mood within the room became quite heavy as I asked the three of them. 

"So... Mama Diana, Papa Edmund, Auntie Clara... I know it's quite unbelievable for you three to believe this, but I can vouch in the name of the Goddess that it's all true. 

Would you guys believe me? 

If not... Then these might convince you three." I said with a determined tone as I lifted both of my hands for the three of them to see.

As I focused my mind with getting mana out of my body, 8 colors that represent the 8 elemental transformations emerged from my hands.

First came the 4 natural affinities of Fire (Red), Water (Blue), Wind (Green), and Earth (Brown) manas showing up on my left hand. 

And then, next came up the outer elemental transformations. Light (White), Dark (Black), Holy (Gold), and the Non-Elemental (Gray) manas showed up on my right hand. 

"No way... 8 elements?!?!" Auntie Clara was the first to react, as Papa Edmund showed a shocked expression upon what he's seeing as well.

Mama Diana meanwhile showed a relieved expression on her face, which actually distracted my focus for a bit. The transformed mana soon disappeared from my hands as it was Mama Diana who responded to my question first.

"It really makes sense now after seeing your status before... 

Taking the myths that we always know into account and the Demon Lord situation that we have right now, there's no doubt that it wasn't a coincidence that you, our daughter, have been born at this exact moment..." She said with a pondering tone on her voice when Papa Edmund asked me a question.

"There's no doubt that you're a Hero, Emili...wait. Ummm... Should I call yo—" 

"Call me like how you want to call me as your daughter, Papa. It's the same for everyone else here." I interrupted Papa's inquiry when he was confused as to what he wants to call me. 

"K-Kuhum... Alright. Emilia-chan, there will be a time for you to fight the Demon Lord and its army, right?" He cleared his throat as he asked a question that was quite obvious of me to do. 

"Yes, Papa. It's my job to do so, after all. This actually connects to what I want to do moving forward now." I answered as I started to deliberate more with what I need to do. 

"Mama, Papa... Since I have evaded the appraisal from those priests, so there's no point for me to be my little brother's attendant anymore. 

After all, it's now time for me to come back as your daughter." I faced Mama with a slight smile on my face as I answer her question. 

"Emilia-chan..." She was surprised with what I just said, but that surprise was short-lived as I added. 

"But not immediately since it's not the time to reveal this lie to everyone else yet. 

And certainly not as the heiress to the Duchy, Mama." I added with a determined look on my face.

Being in the family knowing that I have to enter the aristocratic world in the future is something that doesn't sit well with me for someone who came from the free world. 

After all, I'm someone that prefers individual freedom over being chained with all of these responsibilities while I'm not ready for it yet.

"My focus at the moment now is to make humanity stronger militarily. 

My powers are still insufficient to face the demons right now, and this is the only way I could think of, at this moment to buy myself some time." I said to Mama Diana, as Papa Edmund made a face that seemed to have made a realization. 

"And you've been doing this by developing these magic tool ideas and letting Hansen do the production, thereby speeding up humanity's magic tool technologies to combat the demons... 

Of course, it makes sense now!" Papa Edmund says in realization as I nodded to him happily.

Hansen, it's Moloch-san's first name , my godfather. It looks like they caught on pretty quickly... 

After some moments later, the mood died down again as Auntie Clara asked me a question with a curious tone on her voice. 

"If you don't want to be the heiress of the Duchy, then... What are you gonna do for now?" Auntie Clara asks. 

"I'll focus on making new advancements to magic for now though I'm still weak at the moment, so I want to train and become an adventurer to earn experience, but at the same time, not revealing my heritage or my connections as a child of an aristocrat." I confidently said, which garnered the surprise from Auntie Clara as both my parents chuckle lightly. 

"Interesting... Edmund, Clara, our Emilia wants to become an adventure like the three of us in the past. I remember my father's reaction when I said the same thing to him, fufufu~" Mama Diana chuckled as she brought up a memory of her youth. 

"I was with you there, so I definitely know their reaction. It's quite funny to see their fuming faces back then." Edmund chuckled a little bit as Auntie Clara didn't have a single clue of what they were saying. 

Seeing Clara's confusion, Diana added. 

"Ah... My apologies, Clara. That was before the three of us met back then, fufufu~." Diana chuckled. 

"Ah, no worries, Diana. We shouldn't get sidetracked too much since Emilia-chan is waiting for an answer." Auntie Clara smiled as the three of them focused on me again, as if Auntie Clara and Papa Edmund was waiting for Mama Diana's decision. 

"Emilia-chan, do you wmhave what it takes to become an adventurer?" Mama Diana asked. 

"Yes, Mama. I will become an adventurer." I'm determined to become one as early as possible so that I can get to level up as fast as possible.

"While you might think that we usually just kill some monsters, adventurers are also like mercenaries too, Emilia-chan.

We don't look much right now, but we've also killed a lot of people too. Are you sure that you have the guts to kill a person?" Mama Diana replied as Auntie Clara and Papa Edmund looked at each other and smile as if they agreed onto something. 

Suddenly, their eyes became sharp when they looked at me.

[Notice: Two <Sword Intent> skills have been unleashed to the user with the intent to hurt the user.

Confirming the <Bad Status> effect to the user, the "Anastasia's Holy Blessing of Love" has been activated to nullify <Sword Intent> effect to the user.]

What in the world is this strong intent?!?! Did Auntie Clara and Dad just released their sword intent to me?! 

I activated my <Deep Appraisal> to both Auntie Clara and Papa Edmund.

Holy shit... What's up with all of my parents, along with Auntie Clara being monstrous...

And what's up with Auntie Clara's stats?!?! 6-digit HP Pool?!?! Is she some hidden boss that's more powerful than even my parents?! 

"Clara, Edmund, enough. That's not gonna work on Emilia-chan. She has a stronger Anastasia's Blessing than mine." Mama Diana called the two of them out as the aura from the two of them disappeared quickly as Papa Edmund smiles. 

"If our Emilia-chan is a normal kid, she would've fainted from this immediately.

But it's a good thing that our child really has that heroic spirit in her, which even the Goddess protects her." Papa Edmund said while smiling as Mama Diana slaps Papa Edmund's shoulder angrily before saying something to me, which broke my train of thoughts that lingered from knowing my elders' stats. 

"So...? What's your answer, Emilia-chan?" Mama Diana asked me with a smile on her face.

What else should I answer but that? Seeing their status has only strengthened my resolve to grow stronger now.

I can't be left behind, can I? 

"If it involves that, then I have to steel myself and move forward." I answered after thinking for a few moments.

"Good. For now, we'll put our support for you and get you ready to become an adventurer like the three of us were." Mama Diana smiled as Auntie Clara said in awe.

"To think that our Emilia-chan would be in the tutelage of 3 S-Class Adventurers... You sure are quite lucky of a Hero, fufufu~" Auntie Clara chuckled as her laugh was quite infectious that all of us managed to laugh for a bit.
