"Aye aye aye you sir are worse than young girls when it comes to making decisions." As I look through the books he picked out I notice that he has a bigger variety of decent skills.
(Tier 0 - Blessing of the Wood Fairies:
10% chance of summoning a wood fairy. Wood fairies do not disappear when summoned.
If summoned will boost the growth of all plants planted by the host. Growth is multiplied by level of the skill and number of fairies.)
(Tier 0 - Summon Lesser Minor Treant)
(Tier 0 - Root Spike)
Only 3 really grab my attention. At 75 sp a book I hand her 2 gp and 25 sp. Then I throw all the skill books into my dimension along with the household groceries we will need for the month.
On the way there was no need to speak between us. As I set off at a full sprint home so did he. We took the long way around the outskirts of the forest.
Whoever was trying to tail us seemed to have low stats so it was quite easy to lose them. As we arrived we see mother standing at the front door with our bags.
"Mom you are done cultivating already?" We haven't even had the chance to plant anything and we are already leaving?
But, before she could answer a strange older looking woman walked out from behind her. When her eyes fell upon us her lips spread out into a near psychotic grin.
"Ooo they are strong indeed. My darling if this is the offspring you were going to give birth to, you should have just stayed. You really made me lose face for nothing." She said as she gleefully approached me and Amen. Seeing her come closer with that smile on her smile on her face sent chills down my spine.
"Sorry mother" Wait, mother? So this is our grandma? Oi, I would run away as well.
"It's fine darling. Hmm since you gave birth to such fine young men Patriarch will definitely not be harsh with your punishment." She said with certainty.
So mother must have been the daughter of the Patriarch of the clan, and from the looks of it grandma must not be the main wife or mom would have called her matriarch more than likely.
"You all have three days to arrive at the estate. Darling, try not to make mother look even worse." (Grandma)
"And what of Hector?" (Mother)
"Dead. Killed by the Patriarch, of course. What kind of public figure could the Patriarch be if just anyone can go behind his back and bed his daughters. Hmph serves him right. That is also why you must come back and resume your duties as master general. We are at war with his family because of you so you and your boys will definitely help clean this up." Woah this is a lot of mess. Mom was a master general? My dad is dead? War?
Even with all that has been said mothers face remained expressionless. It was as if she lacked emotion.
"Remember darling 3 days. Lester will pick you guys up 50 km north from here at noon don't be late." With that a gust of wind blew by and she was gone.
Wow how did she do that? If grandma is this strong how strong must others in the family be? Patriarch? Wait how strong is mother for her to be a Master general for a clan?
"Well I guess you guys would want to know more, right?" We immediately nodded yes so she continued. "I am the 5th young mistress, Sarah, of House Yami also known as the forest general. That should be enough for now. You 2 should know what that entails so let us prepare to set out."
"Yes, mother." We could see that she really wasn't in the mood for talking. So we instead had to figure out how to package a farm into my dimension.
First, let's try to learn the skills. Wait, we need skill points to learn the skills. We can only get them from leveling up, but how are we gonna level up so quick. Oh right the pills.
"Wait mother may you take a look at these." I ran up to her and shoved the Tier 0 pills into her hand.
"Not right now, Tepp. Wait where did you get these?" (Mother)
"Tepp was gambling with an old lady." (Amen)
"Hey, snitch. What are you doing?" I immediately swing at his head but he ducked it.
"Hahaha its not snitching, it's called future cushion. So now If I ever do something wrong I'll just say Well Tepp gambles, and it should lessen my blow. Hey ow. Mom what was that for!" Amen yelled as we both received a devastating kick to the gut.
"First off, Tepp, I will not stand for gambling addicts in this family. Also Amen since you said that next time you get in trouble I will make sure you regret living."
"Yes ma'am"
"Yes ma'am"
We could barely move. Even with the boost to our stats. Now take those pills and heal up you should notice that you have become stronger after." With that she stands over us watching to make sure we consume the pills. The scene reminded me of a mother forcing a kid to take their medicine.
I handed 2 to Amen and we both popped the pills into our mouth.
[You have leveled up!]
[You have leveled up!]
[You have leveled up!]

Wow I am a genius tank. In most games I would be a Tanky mage. Awesome.
"Mother what Tier are you?" Amen asked.
"I am approaching Tier 3 why?" I did not expect mother to be so strong. Well I guess her being the master general was not a joke.
"Well, mom we have Tier 2 pills would you like them?" Her face immediately turned as if she wanted to instantly say yes. She must be really close to Tier 3.
"No you boys will need them in the future." Even though we can clearly see that she wants them she still sticks to her motherly integrity.
"Its ok mom Tepp is an apothecary now. He took in 2 memory crystals." (Amen)
"Traitor"
"Sorry bro but mother comes first."
"Tepp did you not wish for me to know? Speaking of where are the memory crystals, better yet where were you keeping the pills do you have a spatial item?" She asked with a serious look on her face.
"No ma'am it's his skill, he can also disappear and teleport." (Amen)
"Dang, Amen can I say anything about my own stuff you blabbermouth."
