Heaven, Earth, Me

While Yasenia taught the children, Tatyana taught the rest how to use the formation. After realizing that they could use it to summon all kinds of Yasenia's illusions, the girls naturally didn't hold back. As soon as Tatyana finished the explanation, Andrea, Evelyn, Angel, Cecile, and Kali shouted the following ages simultaneously, in order of mention.

"12!"

"3!"

"2!"

"5."

"4!"

Then, the girls, seniors, and maids looked on with marveled expressions as the dragonesses of the respective ages materialized in front of them.

Tatyana could not say that she didn't understand why they did this. And as anybody would probably do after seeing the adorableness that young Yasenia had, they rushed forward and hugged the illusion. Of course, as an illusion that was programmed to attack back, all the summoned illusions resisted the hug, but to no avail.

This made Evelyn, who had quite a thorough thought process, frown. "Wait, can you like… molest these Little Yasenias?"

Tatyana shook her head. "Don't worry. The only reason they haven't exploded after your hug is because your intentions behind them are relatively pure. If you try to touch her indecently, she disappears. This is Martial Art Stele, so Dual Cultivation Techniques count as rule violations."

The girls nodded, understanding how it worked. Then Tatyana cleared the place of Little Yasenias, and Estrella and the other children fought two-year-old Yasenia. After everything, all the people started using the [Grand Cosmos Stele] for real.

Dianna and Katarina were the youngest of all of the children. Therefore, even when they were second-realm beasts and much stronger than 13-year-old Yasenia, they couldn't control their own power enough to beat Yasenia. 

13-year-old Yasenia couldn't really land effective blows on them because their hides were tough, but she was agile enough to avoid being caught by them. The reason Yasenia was making Dianna and Katarina fight her mortal self in the first place was to help them learn body control.

Dianna especially had a few problems. As a creature with 13 limbs, she needed much more time to coordinate and learn how to use everything.

After she saw that the children were getting exhausted, Yasenia commented. "Okay, let's stop here. Come, come~. Mommy will have a dinner party with all her babies while the rest continue playing here, okay?" She looked over to the third ring and asked. "Flame, Kaleina, are you coming?"

Kaleina barely dodged the 19-year-old Yasenia's blow and answered swiftly. "No! I want to be here a while longer!"

Flame, fighting a few months older "Yasenia" compared to Kaleina's, also answered with difficulty. "I will, woah! Stay here with Kaleina! Thanks for asking, Aunty Yasenia!"

The dragoness tutted. "Sure, sure~, the babies of that time have grown up~." She looked at the six darlings looking up at her and smiled widely. "Let's go bath first."

And so, Yasenia guided the children toward the bath, and they all entered. Once their bodies were submerged in the healing waters, all of them sighed or purred in comfort. The dragoness sat with her back against one of the bathroom walls and smiled softly. "We have around one hour to play around. If any of you want to come and get washed by Mommy, tell me."

Dianna used her four legs to swim rather expertly and collided with the dragoness's breasts. Yasenia giggled and lifted her up, hugging the medium-dog-sized darling. "You really like Mommy's breasts, don't you, love?" 

Aurelia swam close and muttered. "Mommy, why are they sooo big? Compared with the other Mamas, only Mama Angel and Mama Kali come close…" 

The dragoness answered easily. "Because I am the Mommy of all of you, and I need to store a lot of milk in case my babies need to be fed!"

Aurelia blinked. "I see… So, does Skye drink Mommy's milk more often?"

Skye looked over with a confused expression, and Yasenia asked. "Why do you ask that, Aurelia?"

Aurelia commented. "Well, Mama Evelyn is very small. Does she not have lots of milk?"

The dragoness tried to hold back her laughter, and she commented while caressing Aurelia's long golden hair. "Well, Little Spark does indeed like to drink from Mommy more than from Mama Evelyn."

Aurelia hugged Yasenia's side with her short arms, making the dragoness support her little one with her tail, and she spoke. "I also prefer Mommy's milk, but… This is a secret from Mama."

The dragoness raised her eyebrow. "Oh~? Why is it a secret?"

Aurelia looked a bit troubled. "Because Mama gets a bit sad when I don't pay her attention. Really, she is like a child."

Yasenia had to stop herself again from bursting into laughter. 'Oh, Baby, our daughter already knows you, and she isn't even two! Hahahaha.'

The dragoness lifted Aurelia to give her a kiss on the nose and giggled. "You are so adorable, Little Gem."

Aurelia giggled happily and hugged Yasenia's neck together with Dianna.

The dragoness heard a loud splash and looked over. Skye was standing proudly, her tail swinging around. "Today I was able to land a punch on Little Mommy!"

Dawn commented. "Only because Big Sister Estrella and I distracted her!"

Skye looked smug and said. "But I was the one who landed the hit! So, today, I am the strongest!"

Estrella bubbled in the water. "Little Mommy is so strong…" 

Skye's eyes glittered, and she started doing random moves around. "Right!? She did this fuahhh jump and the pahh kick! And, and! Ah-" She slipped from moving too excitedly and fell backward, falling into the water with a splash.

Dawn and Estrella laughed. 

Katarina swam forward and used her mouth to gently bite Skye's neck and get her out of the water. Skye blinked a few times and coughed, looking a bit embarrassed. She patted Katarina and said. "Thank you, little sister."

Katarina made something similar to a giggling sound. While Katarina and Dianna couldn't communicate with words, perhaps because they were growing together, the four humanoid children were really good at deciphering what they meant.

Dawn laughed. "Look, Little Sister Katarina is laughing."

Skye pouted. "Little Sister! You must support big sister!"

Katarina giggled again and swam away toward Yasenia. Skye looked over and said, indignant. "Mommy! Katarina laughed at me!"

Yasenia welcomed her third darling with her tail and smiled. "Well, she was laughing because she likes Skye a lot. Do you see Katarina laughing when other people who are not her sisters fall?"

Skye blinked twice and humphed. "Then… I'll forgive her! I also like Little Sister a lot too!"

The dragoness smiled gently. "With the 'Also' you don't need to add 'too' Little Spark."

Skye swam over while asking. "Why?"

The dragoness commented. "Well, it's a bit redundant."

"Redundant?"

The dragoness commented. "For example. Imagine that we take another bath after this one. Does it make sense?"

Skye tilted her adorable head and answered, unsure. "No?"

Yasenia hummed and saw Dawn and Estrella swimming over as well. The dragoness smiled. "Aurelia, Dianna, let your sisters take your place. I can only hug four of you comfortably, and you two have been here the most."

Both children kissed Yasenia's cheek and obediently separated. They've been taught quite well to share things with their sisters. 

After she nestled with four of them and used her tail to play with Aurelia and Dianna, all of them had a great time in the bath. 

The dragoness took them out after one hour and used a special soap to help their muscles and bones develop.

While all the children knew how to clean themselves, they also knew that their Mommy really liked doing it. So, they all patiently waited for their turn.

Estrella asked. "Mommy, why is Little Mommy so strong?"

Yasenia rinsed the water off Estrella's hair and explained. "It is because Mommy had a lot of very good teachers when I was young. Also, Mommy developed faster than baby. Did you realize how Mommy was a bit taller and my tail was a bit thicker?"

Estrella opened her eyes after the soap was cleaned and nodded. "Hm."

The dragoness leaned over Estrella's shoulder with a large smile. "Well, that's one of the reasons. Mommy trained a bit harder than you do because Mama Tatyana focused all her efforts on me."

Estrella tilted her head. "Mama Tatyana took care of Little Mommy…" 

Yasenia nodded. "That's right. Mommy explained how Mama Tatyana is muuuch older than Mommy, right? When Mommy was a little child like you, Mama Tatyana was as big as I am now!"

Estrella giggled. "Did Mama Tatyana shrink? Mommy is bigger than Mama Tatyana!"

"Oh~? Baby is teasing me? Here is Mommy's super tickling attack." The dragoness tickled her sides, making her burst into laughter. "Hahahaha! M-Mommy, stop! Hahahahaha!"

Dawn approached with a large smile. "I want tickles too! I want them too!"

The dragoness laughed and lifted her arms menacingly. "Nobody is going to escape this tickling dragon today!"

Dawn's eyes widened cutely, and she turned around, laughing and shouting. "Tickling Mommy is here!"

The little children laughed and started running while shouting, and the dragoness chased after them through the entire bathroom. 

"Noo!" 

"Run! Tickling Mommy is here!"

"If she catches you, you will end like Big Sister Estrella!"

The dragoness was attentive as she spoke from time to time. "Remember to look at the floor so that you don't slip!"

As soon as she said so, Katarina's talon caught a slippery rock and slipped forward. The dragoness only decelerated the fall and allowed Katarina to fall. "Aya~! Didn't Mommy tell you? Now you will fall prey to Mommy's attack~."

Katarina was lifted from the ground, and the dragoness's fingers sunk below the wings, making the Phoenix Dragon start chirping as her body wriggled in laughter. "Hahaha~, does my Little Feather like this~?"

The small game of tag lasted for a few minutes until all the children were breathless from Yasenia's tickling attack.

Then, the dragoness dried their bodies and placed clothes on them, guiding them all toward the kitchen. Yasenia often showed them how she cooked, so they learned that the food didn't come from a magical place.

Knowing that things had effort behind them made children find them more appealing and also helped them understand their value.

The six children sat around a table that the dragoness set up and looked at their mother cooking. This scene was somewhat very peaceful and relaxing for them. The sight of their pampering mother cooking them food had a special magic that calmed them.

Aurelia asked. "What are you preparing, Mommy?"

Yasenia commented. "Well, I am preparing Estrella's favorite dish~. All of you will eat it today, even if you don't like it! After all, today is Estrella's birthday."

The children answered as one. 

"Okaaaay!"

"Okaaaay!"

"Okaaaay!"

"Okaaaay!"

"Rawr!"

"Rawr!"

Yasenia hummed. "Very good~. As a reward, each of you will receive your favorite dessert!"

The children raised their hands. "YAY!"

After preparing the food, which was grilled ribs with cheese and a special sauce, Yasenia placed it in front of all of the children. "Remember to wait until everyone has their dishes in front of them. Okay?"

Dianna, who was about to chomp on the juicy rib, paused comically, licking her lips and tapping the chair with her little paws. Yasenia kissed Dianna's head. "Great job, Dianna." 

Once the food was in front of them, the dragoness gave the go-ahead, and the dinner ensued.
