Chapter 8: The fight, the skills and Jealousy!

Another peaceful day at a certain village. Dawn has finally reached the village and the people have begun to awaken. Doors being opened, familial greetings could be heard all around, neighbors greeting each other and people finally entering another day of work. Everything was fine and dandy until you came upon a familiar building with 3 stories. A middle-aged woman could be seen at the front step sweeping the dirt off the front yard and a tall muscular man greeting his wife as she swept the floor. The two kissed but they were startled as they heard a familiar boy screaming and 3 noticeable girls arguing on the third floor.

“mhmm...Akane….more...….why...so...rough….Amelia-chan….nooo...not the ear….”

Souma mumbled in his sleep about the two flowers that laid in his arms. Akane clung to Souma’s right arm while cushioning his arms between her breasts. Amelia on the left, positioned Souma’s left arm down between her legs and the trio were sleeping peacefully until a “~pyon” heard.

“uggghh...Akane...you feel….so nice…” Souma began to move his arms. Fortunately, the two flowers did not wake up beside him and both slept peacefully. He moved his arms towards the third person that laid on top of him thinking it was Akane…

Souma began to caress the two legs that were smooth upon the touch and the pyon sound was heard again but it was slightly different as it sounded like a moan. The unknown girl plopped her body onto Souma and he moved his hands onto her back and began to rub her entire body. Souma was still within his dream thinking about Akane and Amelia both “sharing” the night away. Moaning sounds could be heard as Souma gently caressed the third woman laying on top of him. He gently moved his hands towards her buttocks and felt a tail. A tail unfamiliar to him, it was short and stout like a rabbit’s tail. He began to wonder why Akane’s tail shrunk but he did not mind that shape behind the tail as he caressed the third woman’s cheeks of wonder.

Souma ushered his hands towards the head of the girl thinking it was Akane as he wanted to feel those sublime Cat ears that he had claimed. He patted the head of the girl and began to caress her ears. They were much longer and softer than he had imagined. The inside especially was ticklish to the woman as Souma rubbed her ears.

Usagi-chan was surprised. She snuck into the house where the boy had lived. She came into his room and saw two females sleeping next to him. She began to pout as he already had girls by his side. She particularly didn’t like him yet but something about the boy enticed her entire body. She felt hot inside after the situation in the bathroom stall. As she gazed upon the boy’s body, her heart beat faster than it ever had before. She wanted to know why the boy was affecting her so bad thus she snuck into his room. The rabbit girl crept onto his bed and sat on top of him.

“Pyon~” Usagi-chan made a “pyon” sound as she got on top of Souma.

She wanted to know who the boy was and who these two girls are beside him. She felt her heart cringed the first time she saw the two girls but she shut those feelings away as she wanted to know more about the boy that enticed her. She gently rubbed the chest of the shirtless boy and he began to move his hands onto her legs and rub against them.

“p-pyonnn~” Usagi-chan did not know what to do but as soon as he touched her legs, her entire body began to crumble. The heat was suffocating her and she let out a moan as she placed her entire body onto the boy.

Rabbit girl was feeling hot the entire time as the boy was feeling all up on her. Then the boy moved to her ears and began tickling them.

“*giggles* uuuu dameee~” she let out a giggling noise and told the boy to stop as she tried to regain her posture but what happened next was unbelievable as well.

After Souma played around with the sudden increase length of ears, he wanted to feel more. He moved his hands towards the side of the woman and began to reach underneath her where the two peaks of justice laid on top of him. As he moved his hands to the peaks, a scream loud enough to wake both the two girls and Tamago-chan that laid on the makeshift sofa across from the bed.

“ECCHHIII~ Mister is a pervert!!”

From the sudden outburst, Souma woke up to a rabbit girl laying on top of his chest.

‘Wow...nice view..I MEAN WAIT WHAT!? WHAT IS THIS!?’

“WAAAAAAAAIT WHAT!? WHAT IS GOING ON!?

“SOUMA-CHII YOU CHEATER!! HOW COULD YOU” Akane was the first to speak as she woke up to the rabbit girl that laid on top of her man.

“ONII-CHAN!? WHO IS THIS WOMAN!? I...thought...I was good enough….even with Akane….I thought…*sniffle* we were good enough...for you...and now this…” Amelia began to sob a little and I had a despondent face as Akane began to bite my ear vigorously and Amelia-chan bending my index finger.

“AH AH!! IT HURTS!! I DON’T KNOW WHO SHE IS!!! I JUST WOKE UP TO THIS MASTERPIE- I MEAN WOMAN!”

Then the tears came from the girl that laid upon him.

“*sniffle* Y-you don’t remember me...waaaa!!”

“WAIT NO I MEAN THIS IS THE FIRS- wait a minute! USAGI-CHAN!?”

Amelia and Akane spoke in unison towards Souma.

“USAGI-CHAN!? WHO IS THIS WOMAN!?”

Both of the girls looked at Souma who began to sweat profusely and thus began to explain the event that occurred in the shower. Of course he left out the detail that his entire body changed and was covered in blood.

Both began to think loudly.

“HMMM!?”

Then Akane and Amelia stared at the girl that continue to lay upon Souma’s bare chest.

“Well, “USAGI-CHAN” are you going to get off my master or not!?” Akane spoke with a vile tone and Usagi-chan blushed immediately and quickly got off Souma. Amelia regained her composure and asked a question to the teary-eyed girl.

“So….”Usagi-chan” is that your real name or what?”

“n-no!! Mister just gave me that name!! My name is Tifania! I am part of the Rabbit Village that co-exists with this village!! My family went away and haven’t returned for some time. I have lived with the Garada’s for a while since they know my parents!!”

Souma began to think.

‘Grenada..?Granada…? OH!’

“AH AH!!! Yoichi right! oh oh!! Well that kind of explains a lot but why were you in the shower that time…..”

“W-well...I don’t like to use the shower at Yoichi’s house...He’s a pervert…”

‘WELL I CAN SEE WHY HE WOULD’

“Ahem! Well...why did you come here…?”

Souma asked Tifania.

“Umm…” Tifania began to blush and her face turned entirely red but was soon interrupted by the door being opened.

“WHAT’S THE NOISE? IS EVERYTHING ALRIGHT? WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!?” Leo barged through the door and began to stare at the half-naked Souma and the three girls…

‘DAMN THIS BOY...HE’S BETTER THAN ME!? AMELIA NOOOOO WHY ARE YOU HERE!?!!!’

“AHEM!? WHAT IS GOING ON!! SOUMA EXPLAIN YOURSELF!”

“uhh...Ahhh!! I DO NOT KNOW!? I WAS SLEEEEEEEEPING!!!”

Souma’s face went pale white as he began to think about the situation he was in and he knew Leo wasn’t going to let it go but…

“ANATA!! YOU CAN’T JUST BARG-” Before Aerylith finished her statement, she began to blush at Souma’s bare chest and the 3 three girls that laid next to him.

Leo looked her as she stopped mid sentence and furiously looked back at Souma.

“YOU!! YOUU!!!!!!!!!!! SOUMA!! WE WILL FIGHT TODAY!!!”

“NOOO I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING FIRST!!!!”

Souma screamed his reply as he had to check the several notifications he received yesterday.

“Nope! TODAY IS THE DAY YOU LEARN…..”

Leo looked at Amelia and he continued his sentence.

“No….SOUMA! DID YOU...DID YOU DO IT….YOU DID DIDN'T YOU!?!?”

“WAIT WHAT!? DO WHAT?? I DID NOTHING!!!!!”

“I trusted you….I EVEN LOOKED FOR YOU!!! THIS IS WHAT YOU REPAY ME WITH!? COME! WE SETTLE THIS TODAY!!”

“WAIT NOOO!!!! WHAT DID I DOOOOO!!!”

Souma was shocked that Leo wanted to fight and he knew he would win but he didn’t want to fight the man he called a friend.

Souma didn’t even get dressed. All he had was his black pants and his chest laid bare as he dragged his feet downstairs and outside to the backyard. While Souma and Leo left the room, the Three girls began to explain their situation and how Tifania snuck in here for Souma. As soon as Souma stepped out, Leo was already waiting for him and two broadswords were seen on the floor. Leo then spoke…

“Come...we will fight now...How could you...you better marry my daughter!!! HOW COULD YOU TAKE MY PRECIOUS DAUGHTER!!!”

Leo began to scream at Souma.

‘wait what!? I did nothing!? WHAT THE HELL KAMI-SAMA!! IS THIS SOME BULLSHIT YOU DID!?’

Then a familiar gust swept by near Souma and a familiar voice could be heard…

I did no such thing dumbass….Now fight...unless...you want to lose...your girlfriends…

‘What the hell dude!? How are they mine!? I haven’t kissed them yet!!’ Souma glared unintentionally and Leo took it the wrong way.

“OH HOH!! This boy is glaring!! HURRY AND PICK UP THE SWORD THEN!!” Leo picked up one of the broadswords and postured himself in a sword stance.

“WAIT I DIDN’T MEAN THAT TO YOU!?”

“THEN WHO!!! It’s only us out here!?”

‘Damn that Kami-sama….I know he’s doing shit behind my back...He is me...He’s more of an Akuma than some kami-sama!!!’

As soon as he thought of those words, a miniature dark cloud formed above Souma and lightning struck down upon the boy in broad daylight.

Of course the Lightning didn't really affect Souma but it did spike his hair.

“OH MY FUCKI- AHHHH!!! ARGHHH!!!!” Souma yelled at the sky and Leo only could laugh and then things got serious…

“Leo...I did not mean that...but do you still want to continue…”

“Boy, you better prove yourself if you want to become my son-in-law”

Leo spoke with a grim tone at Souma.

‘WAIT WHAT!? SON-IN-LAW I’M GONNA BE MARRIED WAIT NOOO!!! WAIT UNTIL I’M 18 AT LEAST!!!’

“uhhh…..goddamit let’s just get this over with!”

Souma spoke to Leo’s reply.

“Well hurry and pick up the weapon! These broadswords have been dulled out so we can strike at each other hard but without risk of being sliced open!!” Leo’s face turned into an evil smirk as he finished his explanation but his reign of terror didn’t last long…

“Well, pops...I don’t need that weapon if you think I can’t handle you without a weapon...besides IF anyone should marry your daughter, they have to be strong enough to protect her! But wait! This doesn’t mean I am going to marry her….(Well, not only her, I will probably marry the other two as well but that’s later!!). We should wait until I am older!!”

“Oh…so you think you are stronger than me...huh…!?” Leo glared at Souma’s response but he didn’t even listen to the rest of his explanation and began to charge at Souma.

‘Oh oh!! HE’S COMING!!....But so slow…? I can easily maneuver through his attacks...’ Souma thought this as Leo began to slash repeatedly only to fail. Souma moved left, right and even jumped over leo which shocked him and left him confused.

“How….did you jump like that!?” Leo spoke in response to Souma’s jump then continued his failure of an assault.

‘Haaa….This is so stupid….damn Leo probably misunderstood….’

Souma continued to dodge and did side steps avoiding Leo’s strikes. Souma knew that this was going to go nowhere then…

Leo did a spontaneous sprint at Souma and slashed at Souma’s leg but instead of the leg being bruised up, the sword cracked.

“WHAT THE HELL SOUMA!?”

‘What the hell happened!?’ Souma looked equally confused as his skin blocked the sword strike and cracked the sword. Leo threw the sword and swung a punch at Souma then…

‘Oh hell!! He’s taking the surprise attack!!’

Astral Mind activate.

Souma activated his skill subconsciously and slowed down Leo that was nearly inches away from punching his face. Souma weaved under the slow motion and sent a fist towards Leo’s solar plexus but it did something worse…

The moment Souma’s punch reached Leo’s solar plexus, Leo’s entire body flew from the force. His body was flung backwards and Leo crash landed into the pile of Firewood that laid next to the Inn’s storage room. Leo was knocked out from the impact of Souma’s punch and the females that watched the entire fight were shocked to no end.

‘Oh shit….I think I overdid that one….’

You think so? Dumbass...Why am I even you…? Well, he’s not dead...but that was pretty funny…

Kami-sama spoke and Souma was annoyed but he couldn’t just leave Leo passed out on the firewood pile.

Souma went towards Leo and picked up the man in a princess carry and the girls began to woooo and laugh at Leo who was completely knocked out from the impact and was being carried into the inn.

Souma laid Leo on his bed and finally decided that he should go somewhere to review the windows that appeared yesterday. Souma told Aerylith that her husband was fine and that he should wake up in a moments. Then Souma looked at Akane, Amelia and Tifania…

“Well..you three should get to know each other...I cannot say anything but even If I just met Tifania...I kind of like her too...I mean...I can’t help it...sorry Akane and Amelia…”

Souma spoke to the three and Tifania began to blush immensely but she couldn’t do a thing if Akane and Amelia didn’t agree with Souma. Tifania just drooped her two rabbit ears and began to look at Akane and Amelia…

“p-pyon...please…..” Tifania just pouted at the two girls that were deep in thought.

Akane and Amelia were both in their own little thought process and Souma had a lot of things to do today. First review his skills, visit the people then finally meet the Elder which Kami-sama wanted him to do. Souma thus got impatient and approached the three girls.

Souma bent down and kissed Akane on the lips deeply and immediately snapped out of her thought process and began to engage in tongue action and Souma attacked in response. Then he turned towards the two blushing women and kissed Amelia on the lips deeply too. Amelia was surprised and then got into the motion of Souma’s lips as they dug deeply into her mouth etching himself onto her. Souma stopped and turned to Tifania who was blushing profusely and her ears swayed around vigorously as they mimicked her emotions easily. Souma went and kissed her so deep that she let out a moan but was easily interrupted by Souma’s tongue action. Of course the two girl’s kisses were averaged around 5 seconds while, Tifania’s kiss lasted almost 10 to 15 seconds which angered the two. They even had to resort to stopping the two kissing as Souma would’ve continued kissing Tifania. He finally stopped and looked the 3 girls that blushed red at Souma and his bare chest.

“So...those were my first kisses...I hope you liked it...but please get along...I want to be with all of you girls...please...for me…I must leave now to meet some people….”

Then all three nodded in succession. All three enjoyed their kisses and they wanted to make the man that they loved happy. Even for Tifania who wasn’t infatuated with Souma at first, began to fall for his bare chest and his lovable eyes that changed slightly light red as if it reflected his emotions. She definitely was infatuated at this point after the amazing kiss he had given her.

Tamago-chan sat on the sofa rolling around profusely. Souma had forgotten her and She would never forgive him…

‘He forgot me again….he never kisses me….I will...get...them all….I WILL MAKE SOUMA-KUN FALL FOR ME AND ONLY ME….JUST YOU WAIT!!’

Tamago-chan rolled around menacingly on the Sofa and the group did not even notice that Tamago might just steal Souma one day…

Souma grabbed his black shirt and left the Inn and walked towards the northern gate to exit the village. After finding his favorite tree, he noticed the pool of blood merged with the grass and the grass began to sparkle. He looked at the grass and wondered…

‘This grass is sparkling red...what is this??’

Souma could only wonder and picked up a few of the grass and stored it in his void along with the rest of his items that he has.

Souma jumped to the top of the tree and began his meditation phase. He finally entered his void room and then began to assess his notifications.

Souma simply ignored this as he did not know what they were and he probably might find out once he met the elder then he continued to the other notifications.

“What the hell is with these skills!! Where the hell did I get Demonic form and Metal skin?? I believe it was when Yoichi saw me….But did I really receive it from the demon wolves…also what the hell was Martial Winds??"

Souma pondered and arrived at a conclusion.

“Well, I do not know but who cares!! It surely is an awesome skill!! Let’’s try it…”

Souma thought of his Demonic Form and the changes began in affect. His hair grew longer and dyed blood red. His eyes turned into a dark hue of red and his skin had red lines etched onto the surface. His skin turned into a white metal skin to reflect the sudden white void which Souma was in.

‘Damn…..I already feel power surging through my body...But how come I went out of control yesterday...AH!!! Unrelenting rage!!! It probably did that to me...I really hated yesterday...’

Souma canceled his Demonic Form and sat on the floor. He had to see his memories again...He needed to study more about how he acted when he went out of control. Souma knew he had to understand more about himself before he was able to protect anyone in that state.

-Recalling memories-

As souma watched the wolves thrust about, he noticed their abnormally large canines and sharp claws. He focused on the teeth and long claws that bore against Souma within his memories. He studied the teeth and the wolves and wondered if he could be a wolf like that. Just imagine having two huge canines gaping out the side of your mouth like fangs and having huge claws like that then it came…

A notification pinged after Souma wondered about the teeth and several windows appeared which interrupted Souma’s memory lapse. He was flabbergasted when he saw the windows...

“WHAT THE HELL!!!!!! I just looked at the wolves, WAIT WHAT!?!!!”

Souma screamed at himself.

'How the hell did I get these new skills and why!?'

Souma could only wonder….but what if he could use any skill….He could only try to figure it out…

-Memory Recalling-

This time Souma had to prove his theory...if he could use any ability then why not...Invisibility!

Souma recalled the memories where he met Tifania. Oh he wanted to “study” her real bad but he has a theory to prove. Souma looked at the area where Tifania would appear and began to focus at the spot. As she appeared, Souma studied the way she had appeared and a ping could be heard.

Souma got out of his memories and looked at the windows that appeared.

Try not to be naked...when invisible as your clothes turn invisible along with your entire body

“YES!!! YESSSSSSS I AM AWESOME!!!”

“OH HOHOHO!!!”

“kekeke!!” Souma began to smile menacingly at his newly profound ability. His theory consisted that If he wanted an ability, he could immediately steal it as long as he has the seen the ability once. Also, it doesn’t just apply to skills, from watching the wolves, he gained their fangs and claws which means he could mimick a bird and sprout wings from his back and fly. OH HOW SOUMA WILL ABUSE THE SYSTEM HE WAS IN!!!!

“Oh yes..*snicker* yesss….I will…..do this….” Souma intertwined his fingers and began to think of the limitless possibilities and infinite skills he could learn but it was short lived…

Souma knew if great power is bestowed upon someone, people will seek it and aim to either control it or destroy it….He knew that he couldn't reveal his new abilities to the new planet he was on….Then he vowed to only reveal it to the people he knew personally….

‘No...People shouldn’t know about me...they will seek me and probably threaten the people I know...I will protect my new family..’ Souma grinned before he finished his thoughts

‘Especially my new ‘wives’ that I recently gained….OH MY WAIFUS YOU ARE SO PERFEC-’ Before Souma could finish, he was forcefully cancelled out of his void space.

He returned to his original position where he laid on top of the tree. He looked around with a confused expression.

‘WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED!?’

Souma looked around to see if anyone forced him out and a tiny letter was falling from the sky onto his hands.

Dumbass...don’t get cocky...they’re my wives too...

‘DAMN YOU KAMI-SAMA THEY ARE MINE!! STOP GET OUT!!’

Another letter floated down…

Dumbass, I am you that means they are mine too...you are also kami- wait you’ll learn about what you are later…

Souma looked confused at the two letters and wondered what Kami-sama meant.

He finally decided that he would return to the village to meet the people which he had not introduced himself to.

As he went to the village a negative aura could be felt. The pressure was so negative that he was immediately worried about the state of his family then he noticed…

The females were all depressed. They moved lifelessly and their shoulders were drooped low. Souma wondered what was wrong until he came to Yoichi the Guard.

“Oy oy...Yoichi what’s going on this time…?”

“Haha, my friend! Congratulations! You are one of us now!!”

‘wait what one of you?’

“Oyyy Yoichi what do you mean?”

“*pfft-hahaha! You know what I mean! But seriously you’ve really done a big one….much worse than any of the guys did…”

“What do you mean??”

“The females my friend...They found out you were married, not only to one, but three girls!! AND HEY I JUST REMEMBERED HOW DID YOU GET TIFANIA!!”

'Oh....he meant part of the married club now...WAIT WHAT!?!'

Souma was shocked as the whole village knew about the girls and he sweated bullets at Yoichi then he spoke…

“W-well Yoichi...why did Tifania say you were a pervert...I should really come to your house and talk to your wife….about this…”

Yoichi was shocked and stumbled backwards. His face was pale white and began to stutter.

“W-what d-do y-you m-mean!?” Yoichi spoke in a stuttering voice.

“Uh huh…*glares at Yoichi* SINCE YOU ALREADY KNOW ABOUT TIFANIA AND ME! Don’t get any ideas >_> She’ll be living at the inn from now on...Just drop her belongings there...and I won’t tell your wife...but you’ll have to find a new object to stare at! SHE’S MINE”

Souma yelled with confidence at the starstruck Guard and began to walk off towards the valley of gloom.

The females looked at the radiant boy as he walked with swagger.

“Oh no...why….!”

“Why couldn’t it have been me!!”

“Why...why!?!”

The females screamed at the boy as he increased his pace…

Souma finally came to the inn after dealing with the moaning and groaning of the valley of gloom which covered the streets. He opened the door and saw the three girls preparing lunch. Akane was preparing the side dishes in her apron, Amelia was preparing the main dish and Tifania sat in a Seiza position waiting for Souma.

Souma gently spoke not to startle the duo that continued to work.

“Tadaima…” (I’m home…)

Souma looked confused at the trio. Akane was too busy with Amelia to notice Souma coming through the door but Tifania greeted Souma silently.

“pyon~! Welcome home...A-n-a-ta~ Would you like lunch or a bath or….me~?” Tifania spoke in a gentle voice but Souma was flabbergasted.

‘OY OY OY!? WHERE THE HELL DID YOU LEARN THIS!!!!’

Souma could only wonder where the hell Tifania learned this, probably from Yoichi’s wife as she greeted Yoichi after working all day…

The two girls were angry at Tifania for gaining a head start. They perfectly heard Tifania’s words but they didn’t even bat an eye when Souma entered…

“Haaa….I’m home...don’t fight...we are not going to do this...its only noon girls...and ….nevermind where did Aerylith and Leo go?”

I asked a question then Amelia was first to answer.

“Oh leo and Aerylith wanted to shop for new clothes for you and we wanted to cook lunch today!”

‘Haaa….I bet you two begged Aerylith to cook cause Leo could easily shop for my clothes but I don’t mind this...I won’t mention anything...’

“Ahh, well then that’s good...I should thank them when they return.”

Tifania got up and clung to my right arm and made the girls irritated but they couldn’t do anything as they had to finish cooking…

‘Haaa...well that’s what you get for wanting to cook...but don’t worry...I love you three...but wait….how the hell did those females find out about the relationship...I mean we aren’t going to be married yet but what the hell!?’

“Umm, girls why does the village know about us….?”

A few seconds passed and all three spoke at the same time.

“To destroy competition nyaa~”

“Making sure no one steals you”

“Pyon~ the girls like you so we told them.”

“So you told them we were married!?”

“Well….”

The three girls paused a bit and the silence began…

“Haaa….I don’t mind...actually it helps...now that I won’t be attacked outside of the village...and girls...please tell me when you do this type of thing first….”

All three answered slowly.

“H...Hai!!!”

“Haaa...you know we won’t be married yet until I am like eighteen you know…”

Tifania spoke this time.

“Umm, anata….the legal age for marriage is 13….”

“WAIT WHAT!? WHAT WHAT….”

I screamed in reply and startled all three of the girls.

All three began to pout a bit and I noticed their glum faces…

‘Oh damn, I better change it or Aerylith wouldn’t let me sleep while she would scold me all night...’

“Ah HAHAH! That’s good then! But, I must get money first then we can get married okay??” I replied fast before they started to tear up.

‘Oh oh I’m saved….I don’t know...this world has rules from the medieval age or something like that….’

The three began to sigh in relief and I patted Tifania’s head and rubbed her rabbit ears. The jealousy could be felt as Akane and Amelia scorned themselves for cooking and not letting Tifania do anything.

“hmmm these ears...are so soft...Tifania...I like it.” I spoke to Tifania and my statement caused her to blush.

I picked up Tifania and put her in my lap.

“P-pyon!~ Anata! W-what are you doing??”

“Oh, I just want to rub your ears moreee :D”

‘Oh these ears! In that manga my father had, bunny ears are like man’s greatest weakness. MAN COULD NEVER IGNORE THE EARS OHH THESE RABBIT EARS’

Souma began to rub his face onto Tifania’s hair and ears causing her to blush profusely and several pyons could be heard but their love situation was interrupted by a plate being slammed onto the table.

“ANATA!! YOUR FOOD IS READY Hmph!” Akane blushed as she laid down Souma’s lunch on the table and glared at Tifania which made Tifania get off Souma’s lap.

‘Awww...those ears...but I better not play favorites...they might kill me...’

“Ah...Hahaha...ha...haa….Haaaa….” I tried to laugh it off slowly as Amelia and Akane glared at me and Tifania…

The group finally ate and Aerylith and Leo soon after. Leo gave me my new clothes and grunted at me…

“Damn you….*sniffle* oh Amelia….”

Leo gripped my hand and applied pressure.

“You better make her happy...actually all of them happy...or you are aren’t a man...you understand!?”

Leo glared at Souma…

Of course Souma could have easily crushed Leo’s hand but he did not want to hurt his potential father-in-law thus he let him squeeze his hand.

“Hai hai...I will make them happy...you don’t have to worry about that at all….I..am happy that I have them..I have a new family...I do not want to separate from them at all…” Souma had a cheerful gaze but his eyes had a bit of sadness that Leo did not understand the cause of it.

“Okay...I trust you...son…”

Leo said those words in response to the glint of sadness that appeared on Souma’s face. They did not know that he was brought to this world and left his real family on Earth. However his new family will never be cut short. He loved everyone and he would gladly sacrifice his life protect his family and loved ones.

After Leo and Aerylith ate their portion of the lunch, I quickly asked Leo about the village people.

Leo spoke of the Blacksmith that had a mysterious aura but his weapons were crafted excellently with no flaws but the blacksmith said that he included something special in the swords and no one to this day could figure out the special attribute. Then, he talked about the merchant that traveled between villages. He has an unusual set of skills but no one knows what it was. Apparently it was strong enough to kill monsters that frequently appeared in the forests he traveled in since he always goes alone. After the merchant, Leo talked about the armorsmith that was talented in making armor and not only that, he was also a tailor. The man would create impenetrable armor as he always says but like the Blacksmith, no one could really figure out how to use it so they branded him crazy like the Blacksmith. Then, it came to the farmers, regular village people and chefs. Leo continued to talk about several specific people and I pondered on whether if I could steal their skills by looking and so I shall test out another theory!

I told the girls I would be leaving to learn about the village and before I left I asked Leo where the village elder was at since I will be visiting his house last. I bid them farewell and the girls began to scheme of a plan that will secure Souma’s heart….At this point, Souma shrugged off the piercing stares of the trio and said good bye to them individually by kissing them. Aerylith also began licking her lips and she blushed but suddenly stopped as Leo chased me out of the house…

The village people await and a new theory will be tested….
