Hero's Mother After – Chapter 7: Departure
I asked everyone to gather except Serena because I had something important to discuss.
"Okay? It's about Serena... I'm thinking about sending him to live in the lower world for a while."
"I disagree," replied Shizuko. "It's the same for everyone, isn't it?"
"Serena just turned 12, he's so young and helpless," Haruka added.
"Serena deserves better, can't we at least wait until he's 15?" added Sayo, with a tinge of concern.
"Serena-chan is still a child... please give him some more time," chimed in Misaki in a softer tone.
"What about Ceres? What do you think?" asked Haruka, trying to gauge everyone's opinion.
"I agree with Shizuko's opinion. We should keep him here for at least another year," replied someone with a motherly tone.
Same old doting mother...
"By the way, what about Marianne, Frey, and Cecilia?"
"Despite being just 12 years old, Serena's knowledge and abilities are far beyond those of other children... but there are many things he can't learn here, so we should let him go on a journey," replied Marianne with a practical tone.
"He's 12, and will become an adult in just three years... he needs to make friends of the opposite sex and start looking for a bride, so it's time for him to stand on his own two feet," added Frey, with a hint of urgency.
"That's true... if he doesn't experience 'love' and 'friendship', he won't be able to grow as a person. It's sad but it's time to let go... there are no women here besides her mother," replied Cecilia with a tinge of sadness.
"Well... If we don't do something, Serena won't be able to separate from us, so why not send him to the lower world? Instead of just abandoning him, we can entrust him to Mel-san, how about that?" I suggested.
"Hey, is that girl okay?" asked Sayo, with a concerned tone.
"Sayo... Mel has grown up, so I'm sure it's fine," Haruka said with reassurance.
"After all that training, and with the Sage's guidance, why are you still worried about the battle with the demon king and the world being peaceful? You're being too overprotective," countered Misaki, with a hint of frustration.
"You're right... It's true that if he stays here, he won't be able to get a girlfriend or look for a future fiancé. Then, we need to send our child to the lower world."
""""If Ceres says so...""""
"It's sneaky...acting like a mother worried about her child," said Shizuko, with a hint of playfulness.
"Well done, you too,” said Haruka, with a hint of admiration.
"Huh, well done," added Sayo, with a hint of sarcasm.
"That's a farce... as usual," muttered Misaki, with a hint of disdain.
"Ahem...Then tomorrow, we'll send Serena to the surface world...is that okay?"'
""""""""yes"""""""" replied everyone in unison, with a hint of determination.

From that night, everyone was really fond of Serena.
I'm the one who says goodbye.
"Serena, I need to talk to you."
"What's wrong, Dad?" Serena asked.
"Serena, you are 12 years old now, so it's time for you to go on a journey and see the world. Besides, everyone here is my wife, and you will be an adult at 15 and join our ranks. You should meet various people and even find a partner to potentially become your spouse in the future."
Serena's eyes widened in surprise "That's what Zect-oniichan told me that there are many beautiful women down there and that it's time to start looking for a wife."
"I see. It's a sudden decision, but you will leave tomorrow. You don't have to worry because Mel will take care of you in the lower world. She is your siblings."
"Mel-san... she's Zect-oniichan's ex-wife, right? Okay..." Serena said, processing the new information.
"Well then..."
"I'll do my best to find wonderful wife like moms, don't worry ," Serena reassured me.
"You are my proud son. You will definitely succeed."
"Yes, I'll do my best to find a wonderful bride like moms ," Serena repeated, determination in his tone.
"Good luck."
After that, we spent our last moments together as a family, and then Serena began his journey.

"Don't worry... Serena is strong because he is a child of God... but if he ever faces a near-death situation, he will be transported here through the guidance of the underworld king Bauer, and I will use my goddess power to revive her ," Ishtas said, her voice filled with concern.
Ishtas...you are overprotective enough...
※ Finally, a new chapter begins.
