The winter that was starting to feel warm was slowly meet the ending.

The warm sunlight began to radiate sunlight which marked the beginning of the change from winter to warm season.

The blizzard that caused the snow to pile up as high as an adult’s knees began to melt slowly.

A girl who had grown into a teenager and showed her beautiful face due to puberty was dancing on a snow field. Her footsteps, drawing a teleportation magic formula, showed her intelligent brain flowing magic energy like a pen drawing on a pile of snow.

"Onee-sama! I have finished drawing the magic formation to release our limitted magic!" far across her body, Alice who had grown into a teenage girl waved her hand.

"Lily-nee, I have completed the magic formation as our catalyst output for mass teleportation!" across her body again far away, Alyssa waved her hand as a sign that she had carried out the task given by her beloved Elder Sister.

The Twin Sisters who had fulfilled their duties immediately approached the figure of the teenage girl who was dancing on the snow. With a touch of her foot that drew a large-scale magic formation to be activated immediately, the lines created by her became bright as a sign that the magic formation had been activated.

"Humm... not bad for our first try," Lily muttered as she stopped her body from dancing on the snow.

The soles of her feet that were covered in snow gave off a fairly clear color contrast between the white snow and the light brown skin of her soles.

"Mom, are you ready to cast the teleportation magic spell?" Lily directed her gaze to her stepmother who was standing in the middle of the activated magic formation circle.

Baaammm!!

With a swing of her magic staff that looked like tree roots overgrown with leaves and red roses blooming on the top, Marchioness Amagi concentrated her magic energy to perform a teleportation magic jump for the first time in human history.

Marchioness Amagi looked very worried when she was entrusted by Lily to be the center point of charging the teleportation magic energy formation that was able to pass through space, distance, and time.

The magical energy that seemed to be blazing after being activated showed a light beating like a magical heart.

Degg...

Degg...

Degg...

The heart of magical energy that was created after Marchioness Amagi concentrated her magical energy into the catalyst given by Lily.

Magic catalysts are usually large and very expensive.

However, the catalyst used by Marchioness Amagi had a cute carving like a little girl’s underwear that grew into a teenage girl.

The magical catalyst used by Marchioness Amagi was none other than the underwear worn by Lily after being covered in sweat. It was for that reason that Marchioness Amagi became someone who stood at the core of the large magical energy formation.

"I didn’t know there was a magical catalyst like this," Marchioness Amagi muttered to herself after seeing the miracle of a pair of underwear that turned into a magical catalyst.

Marchioness Amagi wanted to do new research as soon as possible after she struggled to get rid of the bad habit of a researcher who locked herself away without caring about the conditions around her.

Her dark past of missing Lily’s birthday became her great sin because Lily no longer wanted to celebrate her birthday after her Stepmother preferred studying magic books rather than attending her own stepdaughter’s birthday.

"The mass teleportation magic formation has been prepared, Lily!" Marchioness Amagi shouted while raising her magic staff upwards and the red rose that bloomed on it sent a signal with a red light that attracted the attention of the people around her.

Lily, Alice, and Alyssa who had finished their task of drawing the teleportation magic formation immediately headed to the center point filled with horse-drawn carriages and people who had faithfully accompanied Marquess Rommel on his vacation in exile.

"Mama, are you okay? You’re still young enough to launch a giant magic formation, right?" giving an honest and piercing question like sarcasm, Alice asked while tidying up her graceful long brown hair.

"Alyssa, are you looking down on our own Mama? Of course, Mama doesn’t mind channeling magical energy into a giant formation like this. As long as Mama doesn’t forget to breathe again, she seems to forget important things very easily now. Oh right! That’s a factor of aging," Alyssa poured out an undeniable fact to her mother.

"You two, don’t bully your mother. Even though she has forgotten important things before, Mama definitely won’t forget when it comes to the magic energy formation that she loves so much. Because she forgot the most important day for me and preferred studying the magic book that she loves so much."

A fallen angel girl who befell Marchioness Amagi had a bitter taste for her and made the Twin Sister who bullied her mother laugh.

"Lily-chan, do you still hold a grudge against me after all these years of sacrifice to not forget your birthday again?" Holding back her sobs from the verbal bullying that had befallen her, Marchioness Amagi pretended to cry with a fake sob voice.

"Sob… I really won’t forget your birthday anymore, Lily-chan. So stop bullying your mother every winter seasons," said Marchioness Amagi while wiping away her fake tears.

"We’ll stop bullying Mama after winter passes, it’s Mama’s fault for agreeing to come but forgetting."

"I-I’ve explained many times that I was too absorbed in my research!" Marchioness Amagi denied it as a defense of her innocence.

"It’s still my fault that Mama broke her promise to attend Onee-sama’s birthday party. As a result, Onee-sama is no longer interested in holding her birthday party anymore. That was the first and last party for Onee-sama to celebrate her birthday," Alice said as she took out a magic staff filled with eternal tree roots wrapped in glowing magic moss after being covered by magic energy.

"Mama, you traumatized a little girl into holding her birthday party. This is the punishment that must be given to you during the winter," Alyssa said as she took out her magic staff in the form of a twisted cactus trunk showing sharp thorns ready to torture her prey.

"I told you, I deeply regret forgetting that sacred promise!" Marchioness Amagi lowered her head in annoyance after being teased like that before winter ended.

"Stop joking around, Alice… Alyssa…"

"I have forgiven Mom because she voluntarily spent her sleep time to destroy our almost eternal ice barrier magic and she did not sleep for three days and three nights."

Lily mediated the small fight between the twin stepsister and her Stepmother.

"Lily… thank you for giving me the chance to be your Mother again," Marchioness Amagi looked at Lily who looked like an angel girl who fell from heaven.

Marchioness Amagi saw Lily’s pure white wings that turned black after being affected by the sins of the world.

"Yes, I can’t bear to see you going crazy after three days and three nights trying to destroy that ice magic spell."

"Uhh… can you not bring that up again?"

"… How could I forget the living corpse who turned out to be my Mother, right?" Lily almost fell silent but continued her words after seeing the sincere sacrifice of her Stepmother who tried to apologize by trying to break through the eternal ice magic formation that was a barrier in the hallway of her room.

"Urkk..." an invisible arrow landed on Marchioness Amagi’s heart.

"Mom didn’t plan to die as a living corpse after using up her magical energy capacity to break through my eternal ice barrier back then, right?"

"Ark..." Marchioness Amagi screamed once again after feeling the invisible arrow that had now penetrated her body until she fell to the ground.

"Don’t you think the same way, Dad?" Lily turned her gaze to Marquess Rommel who had been standing beside the horse carriage without saying a word.

"I, who was busy taking care of our family business from a distance at that time, was able to take the time to attend Lily’s birthday party."

The words uttered by Marquess Rommel became the final blow that managed to hit Marchioness Amagi on her past mistake of breaking her promise because she was busy researching the Great Hero’s magic book.

"Thanks to that, Mom agreed to become an Instructor at the Royal Academy after we return to the public later, right?" Lily asked with a gentle smile towards her stepmother.

"For this promise, make sure you don’t make that mistake again, Gi-chan," said Marquess Rommel to mock Marchioness Amagi by taking her surname which sounded very old for her still young face.

"I didn’t expect that when winter came, my family would become enemies under the blanket like this. I’ve gotten used to this after seven years of living in bullying when winter comes," said Marchioness Amagi who slowly stood up after falling with a broken heart.

"Winter will end soon, that will make us a harmonious family again. So maintain the family tradition that was created because of your negligence."

"Yes… Yes… I understand, Rom-chan," Marchioness Amagi started to stand up straight on both feet and hit the snow beneath her feet.

"Now… let’s focus on going home after living on a long vacation for so long."

"This isn’t a vacation, but rather letting go of responsibilities in style after leaving the family that supports the royal family," this time, a Butler who looked older with his old hair combed back showed his elegant body in commenting on Marquess Rommel’s actions. He was the one and only, Sebastian.

With that simple humor, Marquess Rommel’s family returned after developing mass teleportation magic.
