The three of us returned to the fields to work. "I told you I'm fine; I can handle this heavy work," I said, snatching the sickle from Bona's hand. "Brother White is still as stubborn as ever~," Bona pouted. "By the way, what were you two talking about in the attic?" I asked while cutting grass. "Prying into girls' secrets isn't nice, you know," Bona replied with a smile. "Fine, I won't ask," I said helplessly, continuing to work.Before we knew it, we'd been farming all morning. "That's about enough; let's head back," Bona's father said, wiping his sweat. Looking at the nearly finished fields, we set off for home, satisfied.As we entered the house, a delicious aroma greeted us. It seemed the women had been productive too. "Smells amazing! I can't wait!" Bona's father exclaimed, savoring the scent. "You're back! The food's just ready; take a seat," Bona's mother said. We all sat down, and Enis and Bona's mother brought out the dishes from the kitchen. "I bet there's some of your handiwork in there," I said to Enis with a smile. "White, this partner you found is way better than our Bona. She made most of these dishes herself today," Bona's mother praised endlessly. Enis blushed and smiled shyly. "Haha, I've got to try them quick then! Let's open a good bottle of wine and drink with White!" Bona's father said, patting my shoulder with a laugh.Everyone took their seats, stomachs growling after a tiring morning. Enis and Bona's mother had prepared roasted lamb leg, steamed fish in sauce, stir-fried bamboo worms with wild vegetables, sweet-and-sour meatballs, mushroom vegetable soup, and Enis's specialty, creamy stew. We eagerly dug in, and both the lamb and the vegetable soup were absolutely delicious. "Haha, today's a real feast!" Bona's father said, pouring me wine and praising the food. "Sister Enis is amazing. I surrender," Bona said with a helpless smile, tasting the dishes. "Oh, it's nothing; I just showed off a little," Enis said bashfully, lowering her head. "We're relieved White found such a great partner. Come back to visit us often, alright?" Bona's mother said with a smile.After enjoying the lavish lunch, Bona and Enis went to help clean up. I stepped outside with Bona's father to chat, recounting my journey. "I see. It hasn't been an easy road. To us, whether it's the old White or the current White, you'll always be part of our family. Whenever you're tired, come back and sit with us. I'll listen and help you figure things out," Bona's father said, patting my shoulder. "Thank you, Uncle! I'll come back to visit often," I replied gratefully.After finishing our tea, we returned inside. Enis and the others had finished cleaning, and it was about time to leave. "Uncle, Aunt, Bona, we need to head back to report. I'll come visit again next time. Oh, and here's a reward I got from defeating enemies. Please accept it; you've always taken care of me," I said, conjuring a bag of gold coins with magic and handing it to Bona's father. "No need for that; it's like you're staying at an inn," he declined. "I don't need money in the demon realm, so it's useless to me. You can use it to buy tools or seeds to expand the fields," I insisted, shoving it back. Unable to refuse, he reluctantly accepted. Fearing he'd change his mind, I quickly led Enis outside to prepare to leave. "Brother White and Sister Enis, come back soon, or I'll miss you," Bona said sadly. "Don't worry, my dear sister. I promise our next meeting won't be far off," Enis said, comforting her by patting her head. "Take care, everyone. Oh, keep this amulet. If you're ever in danger, tear it, and I'll sense it and come to save you," I said, handing Bona a magically infused paper strip. "We're off now. See you all!" Enis and I waved goodbye. "Goodbye, Brother White and Sister Enis," Bona's family called out reluctantly as we teleported back to the demon realm.
