Flor opened her eyes, blinking as she took in her surroundings. The first thing she noticed was the nearby Ant Queen also stirring awake. Her eyes shone seeing that. 'We completed the Level Up simultaneously? Kya! My wife and I are so in sync!'
Ignatia recovered her gaze, her insectoid eyes refocusing. What greeted her was Flor's adoring expression while looking at her. It felt as if stars were glittering in the little fairy's eyes. Ignatia's facial expression softened, her mature face revealing a hint of pamperedness. "Come here, baby."
After she opened her arms, the fairy flew into her bosom like a small bird returning to its nest. Hugging the petite fairy, Ignatia noticed something interesting. "Hm~? Have you become smaller? You were over 60 centimeters tall… But now, you are around 50."
Flor stopped rubbing her face in Ignatia's large breasts and blinked. "No wonder your large breasts looked even larger than usual."
Ignatia laughed, her fingers gently caressing the gap between the little fairy's wings. After reaching Level 100, she had received countless memories from other Humanoid Ant Queens that had reached her level and beyond. She was surprised. 'I thought that my memories were only about Humanoid Ant Queens that have appeared in Ceperet. It seems that I was mistaken… Or is it because it has reached A+ Tier that I can see much more?'
Among the blurry memories, she could see some Humanoid Ant Queens creating empires that spanned thousands of stars. 'Tunneling… through space itself. A nest that etches itself not in dirt, but in dimensions…'
She caressed Flor's body absentmindedly, making the fairy squirm in pleasure as she buried her body between Ignatia's abundant bosom. 'My wife is so soft~. She smells so nice as well… Ugh. I love her so much.'
Her mature self was nowhere to be seen around Ignatia. After digesting a few of her gains, Ignatia recovered her wits and looked down at her precious girl. Flor's face was flushed as she looked up, her eyes glazed over and watery. Her lips arched, and she lowered her mouth to whisper. "Since you are smaller, you might fit inside even better~."
Flor's entire body heated up, her fairy wings fluttering and sprinkling pollen. But before the two women started doing some questionable things, a cheerful, gentle, and boundless voice enveloped their room.
"Mom! Mommy! You are awake!"
Flor's heart jumped as she quickly flew out of Ignatia's sweet arms. Coughing, Flor tried to cover her red face and spoke, her voice more mature and controlled. "Liu Shu, love. How are you doing?"
Meanwhile, the Ant Queen looked at her now empty embrace and pouted for a second. The mature Ant Queen's pouting almost bewitched Flor to fly back into her comfortable embrace. Thankfully, she managed to control her heated body, signaling with her eyes to leave it for later.
"Sigh… Alright."
Liu Shu asked, confused. "Mommy, why are you sighing? Did the Ascension not go well?"
Ignatia chuckled, reaching out for a root at the side and caressing it lovingly. "Not at all. It went perfectly. I was just slightly tired. How about you answer your Mom, hm?"
"Right!" Liu Shu's roots wiggled in front of them as she explained what happened during the last few years. Flor flew down, sitting in the arms of her lover.
Ignatia effortlessly carried the petite fairy, her hands gently fiddling with her tiny but proportionately long legs.
Thankfully, Flor was in Ignatia's arms, so all the crazy stuff she heard didn't send her into a nervous breakdown. Each time she heard something out of the ordinary, Flor would bury her face in the giant breasts of her lover, taking a few sniffs at her bodily scent.
"...And that's about it."
Flor blinked and sighed. "I see. Do you need me to take over and clean up those stupid people?"
"Nah." Liu Shu suddenly giggled at them. "You two can continue what I interrupted~."
Flor's face flushed, while Ignatia chuckled. Somewhat annoyed at her silly daughter, Flor slapped one of the nearby roots a few times. "If you knew, why would you interrupt?"
Liu Shu giggled, her roots adoringly caressing their faces. "I just missed my Mommies… Can't I be a bit of a silly daughter~?"
Flor's and Ignatia's gazes instantly softened. "Of course you can, love." Then, she made exaggerated gestures and shooed the roots. "Alright, now go. Your mother and I have things to do."
Liu Shu laughed again. "I wonder if I'll have a new little sister~."
Both Flor and Ignatia only gave birth to female descendants because of the peculiarities of their races. So, there was no chance of having a little brother from either of them.
After Liu Shu left, Ignatia and Flor proceeded to vent their longing, not leaving the royal nest room until the following day at noon.
Liu Shu saw them walk outside the nest with refreshed expressions and laughed. "Mom, Mommy! Welcome back!"
Flor and Ignatia turned to look at their giant daughter. They noticed the World Tree looking down at them from far up in the sky, making their lips curl happily. Flor spoke softly. "We are back, baby."
Ignatia then added. "We will take care of those rogue people. Do not worry."
"Hehehe. I wooon't~. I love youuuu!"
"We love you too, baby."
Liu Shu's bright smile was seen all around the Golden Sap City, making thousands of people feel their hearts palpitate from the giant lady's cuteness. 'Why is our resident World Tree so adorable when she smiles childishly! My heart won't last!'
Flor and Ignatia flew to the main Town Hall together, arriving in just a few minutes. Once there, everyone recognized their figures and quickly showed respectful attitudes. In this world, there was no one who didn't know the appearances of Ignatia and Flor.
"Lady Flor, welcome back!"
"Lady Ignatia, we hope you had a great rest."
"Congratulations on your Ascension, Lady Flor, Lady Ignatia."
The two of them were accustomed to this level of attention, so they nodded lightly, their faces calm and indifferent.
After crossing the entrance and entering the large structure, Flor spread her senses to the Town Hall and asked softly. "Little one, is there something that you'd like to tell us?"
The Town Hall's young, girly voice reached Flor. "Grandma! Welcome back! I've kept your shared office super clean! Also… There is this person who is saying some really silly things."
Flor hummed, her hand gently caressing the bark of the Town Hall. "Who is it, love? Can you guide me?"
"Yeah!"
Flor saw the floor shift slightly, showing arrows in the direction of that person. "Let's go, Ignatia."
Ignatia nodded, shaking her head. 'Why do so many people like to court death? They truly can't understand that we have, quite literally, ears on every single corner.'
They went up to the forty-fifth floor, arriving at one of the government offices in charge of controlling the city's information. Once they arrived, everyone on the floor was startled and quickly stood up with respectful expressions.
"Welcome, Lady Flor!"
"Welcome, Lady Ignatia!"
Both women walked forward, following the arrows that formed and disappeared on the floor. Soon, they reached the office of one of the higher-ups. Looking up, Ignatia asked. "Who is this? I don't recall a woman like her being in charge of this."
Her question was asked to the people around her, and naturally, no one with more than two functioning brain cells would pass up the chance to gain favor from the True World Tree's mothers. "L-Lady Ignatia! I know!"
Glancing over, Ignatia used her chin to prompt her to speak.
"Right away! Lady Weria has managed to achieve her current position after a few promotions. She managed to expose a hidden criminal group and even provided advice on some bandit groups bothering nearby towns, which garnered attention towards her. From then on, she increased her work efficiency, eventually reaping other benefits that led to her current position."
Flor hummed and knocked on the door. The woman inside had not heard the commotion outside due to the sound-isolating walls around her office. The door opened, revealing a woman with average looks frowning. "Who is it? Didn't I…" The woman paused and finally recognized the two women standing in front of her.
Her face momentarily faltered, and she smiled. "O-Oh, so it is Lady Flor and Lady Ignatia. I was unaware of your return. How may I help you?"
Flor smiled. "Won't you invite us inside?"
The woman shook her head, showing an embarrassed look. "It is a bit of a mess. I wouldn't dare bother the two ladies with it."
"Oh." Flor blinked and then chuckled. "I insist."
Could she say no after that? If she did so, then it would be like purposely making it difficult for them. So, with a reluctant look, she opened the door and motioned them inside.
Flor sat on Ignatia's shoulder while Ignatia walked forward. Looking around, Flor hummed and her eyes locked onto the side. "Baby, move out the person hiding there."
The Town Hall would, of course, hear whatever her dearest grandma said! So, with a few wall movements, the person hiding behind a large shelf was pushed out, stumbling forward.
Ignatia sneered internally, but she didn't say anything. It seemed that Flor wanted to deal with it herself, so unless she asked for help, she wouldn't intervene.
Flor looked at the awkward-looking man, with his clothes somewhat disheveled, and turned to look at Weria. "Explain."
A single word exploded outward, carrying a coercive force strong enough to buckle their knees. Weria's face turned white, and she quickly explained. "I am incredibly sorry, Lady Flor. My lover came suddenly, and I was too excited, so I showed something unsightly. Please forgive this subordinate."
"No." Weria and the man froze, looking up at Flor's cold face. "You are not forgiven. Weria, you are fired." Her face then turned toward the man. "You will be sent to the authorities as well to be dealt with accordingly."
Then, she tapped Ignatia's chest with her foot, signaling her that they could leave.
Weria would naturally not accept it easily. "L-Lady Flor! Please wait! What is the meaning of this!? You can't fire me because of a minor transgression!"
Flor and Ignatia stopped, turning around. Flor's face was frosty as she answered. "I can't? Who do you think I am? I am Tianlian Liu Shu's mother, a Flower Fairy who reigns over thousands of species. I can not only fire you, but even if I killed you right here and now, you would have no one to blame other than yourself for becoming an eyesore."
"That's!" Weria's face turned red with rage. "You are abusing your power!"
"I am." Flor raised her eyebrow. "What can you do about it? Now, scram before I change the light punishment to a severe one."
Flor sneered as they turned around. 'Do they think that I will play their little games? Ridiculous. They seem to have forgotten what absolute authority means, so I'll make them remember.'
