VRMMO: Am I The Strongest Yet?

[Elio's POV: ]

"Mom, dad, it's breakfast time~!"

Since Alex and I logged out early at the morning, we decided to just make a surprise breakfast fro the rest of them.

Alex was making the food while I was preppinhg up the dining table and though Olive wasn't here yet, she had woken up early as well so she was going to head over here in a while.

Her mom and dad were going to come with her as well with Alex's chip that they had been studying all night so it was going to be a family breakfast.

"What's going… on so early… in the morning."

Alice was not an early bird like us since she slept late at night after finishing up all the work that she had. Dad on the other hand had an habit of sleeping early and waking up before anyone else… a little too early in the morning.

'He went out for a run on the early mornings, and he usually had his breakfast when he came back.'

He was out right now as well and he was going to be back soon so we timed that and made sure we don't disturbe the servants.

Some of them were up already but the rest who were resting should rest until it is time for their shift. We did not need them for the breakfast… but since Alex was cooking anyway, I think many if not most of them will wake up anyway.

"Elio, I'm almost done so we should start cleaning up or else V will scold us if she sees this mess."

We went overboard and made a fancy breakfast for everyone, even making the things that everyone loved the most.

'There was a strict diet schedule that everyone in my family followed at the very least consisting of the amount of carbs, fibers, and proteins that they were allowed each day. Mom was strict with a lot of things, but there were also days when she allowed out of diet things.'

Today was one of those days so considering that, we had made a little extra for everyone. And, considering how all of us will be busy for the rest of the day until lunch, a heavy breakfast was going to be a necessary thing.

"Yawnnnn~. What iss all this…? Mom's coming in five-...! Hey! Do I smell pizza?!"

Alice came down in her usual night gawn with her sleepy face, and as we knew, all the sleepiness on her face vanished as soon as she smelled the familiar smell of her favorate kind of pizza.

It was made with a special light dough that Alex had brought from our house, and Alice loved this certain pizza made with these certain toppings that Alex had used much more than the ones that our professional chefs made.

There was something strangely attractive about it. Though even I did not know what she found so special about it until now, I knew pretty well how much she loved it.

"Hmm? Why is everyone up so early?"

Dad was also back and though seeing Alex and me cleaning up the kitchen wasn't the best thing to see so early in the morning, seeing Alice up so early was more surprising to him.

He had already figured out that we were making breakfast from the look of the things, but seeing Alice with that excited look made him chuckle a little as he took off his shoes.

We had this no outside shoes in the house rule in our house so he got into his in house sandals instead.

"What's the occasion?"

Alice was already waiting on the dining table so dad came and started helping us clean the kitchen area.

He had already seen the other tray full of things that we had placed on the side, and seeing his favourite waffles must have surprised him as well.

'But, he did not say much about it.'

He was asking us what was the occasion, but his gaze was easy to read.

Olive's freshly baked goods were getting ready. Half of the neighborhood must be visiting their house for a little of the bread or something by now.

It was a normal thing here. People loved it every time Alex was cooking outside and Olive was baking anything.

The two did not work together on something often, but whenever they did, we knew how there would be this large gathering in our front yard.

'The people in our neighbourhood were all mostly either rich people or retired people who had their wealth.'

Most of them were older than us, obviously, so most of us were pretty young, almost like children for the age most people here.

"You're cleaning up so it means you messed up my kitchen again, huh?"

Mom came down as well and seeing us three still cleaning the place put a smile on her face as well.

It has been a few months since we did this, with dad, it was more than a year since we last did something like this.

Perhaps, seeing us like this brought a few precious memories to her.

"And why aren't you helping them princess? You don't want that pizza? Shouldn't you help them finish up quickly?"

"…?! Oh! Right!"

Alice genuinely didn't think much when she saw us cleaning the kitchen.

It was common for dad to help around the house, even when we weren't around, but she didn't do much housework.

She was mostly busy with her office work and things, so she wasn't at home most of the time, and even when she was here, she was either working or at rest.

She did play NO but I think she isn't a combat player either.

'She likes gardening so she has her own greenhouse in the game. And she looks after it instead of going around killing creatures.'

Yeah, well, she has to fight creatures because of the critical location of her greenhouse, but her plants are strong enough to fend for themselves.

Aside from that, she has Blaze and her other friends to take care of her house inside of the game.

"Looks like Olive's here as well. I'll go help them… and we will talk later about this mess of yours so don't even think that you have dodged the bullet."

We can tell just from the close scent of the fresh baked goods that Olive was here so after giving the four of us a careful look, she went to greet them.

It was still around six in the morning so having breakfast this early wasn't really a great idea, but then again, after we tell them about the party, we will have to quickly get to it.

They will have to help us as well, and since we will be preparing inside the house, we will have to be careful with the other things.

'If we end up breaking anything, any simple or rare thing that mom cherishes this time as well, I don't even want to imagine what will happen to us.'

It happened the last time we were doing something like this and we didn't get to eat anything proper for three days, so… we will have to be careful.

"Hello~. How's everyone doing~. Good morning~."

Olive looked refreshed after her long sleep. She wasn't playing games like us and was sleeping instead, so she was refreshed. On the other hand, her parents looked visibly tired after spending the night working on those complicated chips.

"Good, good dear. A very good morning to you too."

We were almost done with the cleaning so Dad washed his hands and greeted Olive and her parents.

They had brought a few baskets of bread, donuts, perhaps some other things as well so he helped them carry the baskets.

"I'll finish this up. Go start platting."

Alex was in a good mood right now.

After helping me get Meta, she was in a much better mood and the fact that we will have the party that I had promised her a while back excited her even more.

There will only be these people in the party as well, but they were more than enough for her.

She was actually happy that there weren't too many people so she was looking forward to it.

'It was our party so we were going to decorate the place, the food will come from the other places and there will be all the favorite beverages she loved.'

I'll play some music with the existing one as well, perhaps Olive's parents will play with me as everyone likes.

'I knew a few instruments and those two were a great duo when it came to string instruments and flutes.'

They were great, and with me, we have made many nights wonderful.

'Now if I can only convince mom to sing… it would be perfect.'

But the chances are low that she will do it. She doesn't like it, even though she has a gifted voice…

"So, what do we have today~?" Mom was excited for the breakfast, just like the rest of them.

Everyone was sitting on the dining table in their places. Blaze was the only one missing since he was working late since yesterday and was still out.

Thankfully, he will be here in the evening and we will have enough time to catch up, finish the preparations, and have a late night party.

"We might not get to have an early dinner so we made some big portions. Please, brace yourself."

"Oho?"

With Alex's cooking, Olive's baking, and my platting, the dining table right now was filled with many attractive dishes that were screaming to be devoured.

Most of it were things that people here liked, and the rest of the things were new stuff that Alex tried making this time.

She was experiencing this time so she did not know what kind of response she would get but she was looking forward to their responses.

And… I was looking forward to their reactions after we tell them about the party.
