After I Found a Vampire and an Elf Girl

[Another world + raising kids + lighthearted + heartwarming + single mother]

Sixteen years ago, Xiling lost everyone.

All five of her teammates died in the Demon King’s castle. She tucked their belongings into the deepest part of her ring, then hid in a border town and lived like a useless third-tier adventurer.

She thought that was how the rest of her life would go, until she found two baby girls on a battlefield.

The white-haired, red-eyed vampire was named Isalina. She was sharp-tongued but soft-hearted, and her catchphrase was, “Mom, are you three years old?” The blonde, blue-eyed elf hybrid was named Celeste. She was gentle and sweet, and could make the best honey pancakes in the world.

The two girls didn’t know their mother’s true identity. They just thought that although their mom was unreliable, she could at least manage to raise them.

Until one day, demons appeared in the forest.

Xiling smashed a monster’s skull with one palm. Her daughters stared as their supposedly “third-tier” mom radiated the golden light of an eighth-tier adventurer, and fell silent for several seconds.

Once her identity was exposed, she decided there was no point hiding anymore.

She took her daughters to the royal capital, met her senior apprentice and teacher, demanded compensation from the king, and investigated the remnants of the demons.

And the secrets she had buried deep inside for sixteen years began to surface, one by one. What her teammates had left her wasn’t their belongings, but one final lie. Her teacher had waited sixteen years for her to open that door. The passage to the demon realm had never truly been closed.
