Using [High-Level Item Creation] for something like this was an enormous waste.
"Huh? Wait, why all of a sudden...?"
"Because my figure can't compare to Camellia's, I'll have to win with technique instead. Don't worry, Mother, I'll make you feel very good."
"Huh? What do you mean? Wait, I'm embarrassed, so wait a moment—ngh!"
"It's in... ah, so embarrassing." A mother lying on her daughter's lap with an expression like she was ascending to heaven as she enjoyed having her ears cleaned was terrible in every possible sense.
Aya fell asleep after having her ears cleaned because it felt too good. Afterward, Camellia and Preya flew high into the sky and fought, because the younger sister had broken the rules and acted on her own, taking Mother's right ear's first time for herself.
The result of the fight was an agreement: Camellia would get the odd-numbered weeks, Preya the even-numbered weeks, and the left ear's first time had to be reserved for Camellia.
Naturally, Aya had no way of knowing any of this. She was still sleeping soundly and peacefully.
Drinking from the Source
At seven thirty in the evening, after finishing dinner for the day, it was finally time for Aya to take a bath.
Although she had a ring with permanent magical effects such as "Fatigue Removal," "Hunger Removal," and "Body Cleansing," Aya had still never skipped sleeping, eating, or bathing every day due to her two daughters' strong insistence.
"Mother, just sleep peacefully. Magic can't completely eliminate fatigue."
"Tasting delicious food is Mother's right. Could it be that Mother dislikes the food I make?"
"If you find soaking in a bath comfortable, then why not do it every day? Mother, don't stand on ceremony with us over things like this!"
Of course, while they said such things aloud, what they constantly thought inside was more along the lines of, "Ahhh, Mom's sleeping face is so cute." Aya still did not know that yet.
"Sigh, Mom absolutely refuses to bathe with us now." Preya muttered to herself in distress.
As she spoke, Preya opened the "refrigerator," a cabinet enchanted with the eighth-tier spell [Snowfield], which Aya called a refrigerator.
Checking the food stored inside the "refrigerator," Preya pondered for a moment. If only Mom ate it, it would probably last a week.
"But for some reason, Mom insists that we eat with her. Otherwise, she won't eat either. If we calculate it that way, it'll probably only last three days." Preya sighed.
"We could just use Hunger Removal magic." After grumbling a couple of times, the girl decided to go hunting in the forest.
She needed to finish hunting before Mom got out of the bath. With that thought in mind, Preya activated teleportation magic.
The bright wooden cabin before her became a sky full of stars. Preya had teleported directly above Central Lake.
Yet although she was clearly above the house, when she looked down, she unexpectedly could not see anything at all—only an empty lake. This was the effect of multiple information-type spells, including [Visual Interference].

Activating two high-level spells in succession, Preya extended her senses across the entire forest.
As a level 85 mage, Preya possessed extremely high magic attack power and an above-average amount of MP, so she could easily accomplish something like this.
If it were Camellia, a warrior of the same level, she could also use these two versatile spells, but their range and precision would be far inferior. Thinking this, Preya unconsciously wore a proud expression.
As expected, I'm more useful to Mother!
Preya looked over the forest. Thanks to the life force emitted by the wounded divine tree and the lake water purified by it, the forest was even more vibrant than before, and the girl felt refreshed.
