The Hero Took Everything from Me, So I Partied with the Hero’s Mother!

(Ceres's POV)

I wonder when Shizuko and the others will get here～

I hope they haven't abandoned me.

"Ceres, I want to ask you something before everyone arrives, okay? As Serena-kun's father, what do you want for him?"

Mel asked me that.

"I want Serena to enjoy his youth in a peaceful world, unlike the turbulent lives Zect and I had..."

I think Mel's eyes narrowed.

"Hmph~ Ceres, are you an idiot? Do you really think he can live a normal life with that kind of power? Ceres, haven't you learned anything from your own life?"

"You know, you took wives through political marriages, other than Shizuko-san and my mother and the other two, right? A princess, a former saint..."

"But, I'm living a happy life even now!"

"Well... that's because you're a natural, Ceres! Just the fact that Serena-kun is your and Ishtas's child is enough for him to be a target of worship in the lower world! Don't you think the child of the God Dragon Ceres and the child of the Goddess Ishtas would be a target of worship? And furthermore, there's also the issue of succession in the Dhamar Kingdom and the Galvan Empire... The Holy Church Nation Gandale is also all over him, including the Pope. Do you really think he can live happily as a human like that?"

"That's..."

Mel's point is valid.

"'Serena, the Child of God,' that's what Serena-kun is called. He's surpassed even a Sage like me, and he's finally defeated the God of War Arks, and now there's nothing he can't do in the lower world... Do you really think he can have the kind of youth you're talking about, Ceres?"

The world changed drastically around the time I defeated Mammon.

He started being treated as an object of faith.

And the one who evolved from Mammon was the God of War Arks, who was my greatest rival.

A being who could defeat that.

It's only natural that he's worshipped... because the opponent was a God of War.

And at the point where he defeated Arks, no one would be his enemy in terms of strength.

Bauer-sama could probably win, but Bauer-sama doesn't move from the underworld.

That's right... Maybe it would be good to have Bauer-sama educate him.

"Bauer-sama, if it's Bauer-sama, then Mel... Bauer-sama..."

I feel like Mel's face twisted again.

"That stupid dragon is a problem too!"

"Mel, that's really disrespectful to Bauer-sama..."

Mel seems really angry... calling Bauer-sama "that stupid dragon."

"With the Underworld Dragon Bauer, the Demon Lord Lucifard, and the King of Death Skull King, those three spoiled him, and it just gets more ridiculous. If you're a father, you should really grasp the situation."

Well...

"Is that really the case?"

"It's not just a coincidence! Besides the three human fiancés of Serena-kun, there are some extraordinary ones too, right? And those three idiots took care of them! You should have figured that out by now. Introducing two incomprehensible beings to a god? No way, that's completely a grandpa's folly! Even though Serena-kun isn't a grandchild, it's all the same. So what am I supposed to do about the current state of Serena-kun?"

What should I do?

I really have no idea.

I have experience raising kids from my past life, but she was a normal girl.

She was quite bright, and the child-rearing was... well, my wife was the one putting in the effort.

This is so tasteless... what should I do?

* * *

"Mel! Ceres is my husband! Making him sit like that is over the top!"

"Mom, Ceres sitting properly is Serena's fault! To be honest, I probably shouldn't be saying this, but it seems like you guys just aren't cut out for parenting."

"Mel, do you have a problem with me? You seem pretty..."

"Well, I admit I may have caused trouble for Ceres and you, Mom. But I tried really hard to live and become a proper human, you know? So, what about the current Ceres and you?"

"Mel-chan, why are you so angry? Can't we talk about this calmly?"

"Shizuko-san, I'm upset about all of your neglect in parenting. Seriously, being dumped on by that useless goddess Ishtas is really hard... Please ask Haruka-san and Misaki-san."

"Useless goddess... Mel, you have to..."

"I wonder if she'll just stay quiet... I understand what Goddess is saying, but right now, you're not just a mother who abandoned her children. You're not just a mother who's made some bad decisions. I think you're wonderful as adventurers, as women, as people! But as a mother... I'm not so sure..."

Angry Mel unloaded everything about Serena.

She was right, Mel was.

It was our fault.

But what do we do from here?

What are we supposed to do?

"So, Mel... What should we do?"

"Mom, figuring that out is part of being a mother. But, and this is just my opinion, you should be a bit more considerate of your children. I'll keep looking after them for a while longer, but I can only do so much. I think I'm reaching my limit here in the lower world. Come up with a plan soon..."

""""Okay""""

All Mel, Shizuko-san, and even Goddess Ishtas could do was apologize.

* * *

In the end, after hearing about "thinking things through," Mel decided to return to the lower world.

"Wait!"

Summoned by a voice, a strong-looking woman and three others approached.

Leading them was a strikingly beautiful woman.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Hera, and these are Fleur, Elsa, and Rosalia. We take care of Serena-sama in the lower world. We are Serena-sama's fiancés."

"So, you are... Serena-kun's fiancés..."

"That's right. I am Hera, goddess of Olympus. Thank you for taking care of my fiancé, Serena. This is a token of my appreciation. Please eat it."

Fruit?

"Yes, I was just talking a lot and got thirsty. I'll take it."

"Please."

It was just what I needed, now that my throat was parched.

But, this fruit tastes divine!

"Thank you. It tastes delicious."

"That fruit is called Nectar.

"Um, what do you say?"

​​"This also gave me the power to hold back the goddess. We will also think carefully, so please continue to support us."

It felt like Goddess Hera's eyes were gleaming.

We've come this far, so I'm sure you're taking this seriously, right?

There's no way this is just going to end here, is there?

Besides, becoming a god?

What does that even mean!
