“M-My lord-?” she asks, shocked. Then, as you nod to her she bows once more. “T-Truly, I am honored my lord.”
“Don't mention it, Haathe. Now, let's enjoy the rest of the party.” you say to her. Heading back into the party proper, you watch as Haathe interacts with Chilli's guests. Which is when you notice her speech patterns are more akin to the Crimson Demon's own than your kind, using unfamiliar, longer words in their more proper speech. There are no more 'misunderstandings', although you do see her get quite a few odd looks at her apparel.
“Who're you? I don't remember ever seeing you before.” your granddaughter says, running up to the woman. “What's your name?”
“I am called Haathe. A pleasure to meet thee.” Haathe replies, bowing to her. “And who might thou be?”
To which your granddaughter smirks, you realizing what's about to happen. Her crimson eyes begin glowing as she leaps back, striking the unusual poses of the Crimson Demon Clan.
“My name is Meloka Wolbach! Daughter of Chilli and Megumin, and a Super Saiyan!” she shouts, transforming in a golden flash. Yet, still her eyes remain crimson instead of turning to the Super Saiyan's more greenish hue. “And one day I'll be the strongest archwizard of the whole universe!”
“I see. Karn loves thee very much.” Haathe says, suddenly reaching out and ruffling your granddaughter's hair. Much the same way you do, Meloka Wolbach looking up at her in confusion.
“Hehe, of course.” she says, smiling up as she enjoys the attention, not making any moves to remove her hand.
The party continues, Chilli's crystal golems bringing platters upon platter so f food up from the village where they'd been prepared. You all dig in, enjoying the feast, everyone talking and laughing together as the sun starts to go down on this world. Guests begin leaving, the Crimson Demon Clan, Ainz and Rimuru's followers, as well as your granddaughter's classmates you presume, judging from their identical uniforms. Until the only ones left atop the hill are your family, and Megumin's.
“What a day.” Chilli says, dispelling some of his magics, allowing the tables and chairs to shatter and begin disappearing. His daughter, having had her fill of fun and food sleeps against his chest, your son holding her to him with one hand. But then his expression grows more serious as he turns back to you. “So. What happened with Darkseid?”
