|World Trivia: In this world a year is 360 days which are separated into 10 months of 36 days, that in turn have 4 weeks of 9 days.| (It's nothing new but I’ll write it here, as most of you must have already forgotten about it.)

27 D/ 02 M/ 3560 Y

*Clang* *Clang* *Clang*

As my hammer came in contact with the hot metal it made a pleasing sound to my ears, and little sparks flew from it looking like small fireworks.

More than a year passed since we came to this island, right now I am in my workshop working with my sister Eva and my wife Mysty. A lot happened since then, but I will explain everything in time, let's first talk about how I became one of the richest men on this continent in such a short amount of time shall we? Yeah I know, even I didn't expect such a thing to happen. It all started when I explained to my family I was going to work on my blacksmithing skill when not training myself or the kids, Eva then insisted to help me by learning enchantment, and what’s even more surprising, Mysty asked me to let her learn Alchemy. It seems that she wanted not only to help, but most of all was interested in creating 'fun' things that she saw and took an interest of in a sexshop...

When the hell did that girl visit a sexshop?!

Anyway I was sure that both of them would lose interest soon enough and just paid the service of tutors to teach them, I also thought of paying for a private tutor for Wyndy but Setsuna decided she would be the best one to teach her, she really takes her role as a mother and wife seriously, and she also works with me as the brains and the businesswoman of our team; she's the one to sell my work. Back to Mysty and Eva, going against my expectation not only have they really shown quite the passion for what they were taught, it seems they were both geniuses at it. I would have seriously never thought Mysty could have such an intellectual talent...

And so both started to help me on my blade smithing, it goes like this.

First, Mysty will provide me with metal she modified with the use of Alchemy, her best work being golden mithril; no she didn’t literally turn mithril into gold, but reinforced it using an alchemical process and gave it a beautiful golden color.

After that, using the skill I was taught by my grandfather, I transform the metal into a blade.

Then Eva enchants it, and I give a little personal touch by infusing my curse into it.

Lastly Setsuna sells it, and I must say she's quite the businesswoman. Nobody would have expected that the swords I crafted as experimentation to create my own cursed blades would be something sellable. And normally it wouldn't, the curse being as horrible as it is, nobody would want a blade that hurts them, that's when Setsuna came into action and created a whole process to sell them.

First the said sword can only be sold to someone from this country - being as dangerous as they are it would be quite a problem if Nalldam were to get their hands on a lot of them. If the buyer is from Asfellana then his resistance against curses will be tested by using one of my other experiments, a curse crystal. A crystal containing an amazing amount of my curse, but that only diffuses itself slowly into the one who is holding it, and the longer someone will be able to hold it, the stronger is the blade that will be sold to him.

Of course the fact that they are cursed was also used to sell them at an incredible price, as not only the stronger the curse, the stronger the blade and the power surge given by it will be. But also that the curse was infused by me, the War-chief of this country and champion of Ymylfana - the most popular goddess on the continent right now - became a selling point.

That's how one of my weakest blades now has the worth of a whole mansion...

Not only that, one of my best creations, 'Siegfried', was sold to the royal family as a national treasure. Since my family name sounds like Fenrir, the fearsome beast god of the Norse mythology, I decided to name all of my blades after it.

Siegfried is sure as hell an impressive blade: it's a claymore 5.5ft tall, with a beautiful golden color that was greyed by the amount of curse put inside of it. Eva enchanted it with 'Indestructible' and 'Razor Edge', making it not only almost as indestructible as an actual divine item combined with my curse, but also gave the cut of a razor will having a large edge.

Apart from Siegfried there are two creations that I am really proud of. The first one is Jormungand, a whip sword that was really hard to make, made of multiple small blades that can either contract itself into a sword or change into a whip using a trigger. Like with Siegfried, golden mithril was used and it was greyed by my curse. It was really hard to use it at first but Edea gave me some hints and now I'm pretty skillful with it.

Now for the other one, we can't really talk about 'a' blade, but more a set of five. ‘Fafnir’s Claws’ are REALLY scary, and the set was made for Eva’s exclusive use. The design for them was pretty simple - they are five small blades of around 15cm (0.5ft) each, but don't have a handle as they aren't made to be touched. What makes them so fearsome is that I put so much curse into them that they completely turned grey, even if I were to come in contact with them I'm not sure I would be able to resist from fainting because of the pain. That's why they are for Eva’s exclusive use, as those can only be used with the help of force magic. Seriously, when she uses them even I wouldn't want to fight her, they are like my children but simply the idea of touching them sends a shiver up my spine!

As if those blades weren't enough, Eva is one of the direct disciples of Edea and has been taught how to move stealthily and quickly like a ninja; this girl is getting too dangerous for her own good...

"Teacher!" (Garaki)

A 6 year-old little boy, with round furry brown ears like his hair, has a thin tail with a ball of fur at the end, and is wearing something like a kareteka outfit, suddenly got inside of the workshop and called for me. This little guy’s name is Garaki and he was one of the unexpected things that happened this year, around 6 months ago...

32 D/ 6M/ 3559 Y

It happened as I was walking in the port city 'Lakopol'. I was on a family outing with Eva, my wives, and Wyndy. I discovered two days ago that Wyndy was born the 30th day of the 6th month so she was now 4 years old and we were currently looking for her birthday present. As we were walking, we passed in front of a lot of aligned cages all containing monsters and in the middle of them was a stall with a pancart on it, where it was writen 'Monster Dealer'. Monster dealers were previously slave dealers for the most part, but when it became illegal to sell slaves most of them turned to monster slave dealing. And at that time Wyndy, who was riding on my shoulder, made eye contact with a monster.

"Papa! This! Please buy Wyndy this!" (Wyndy)

Saying that she pointed to one of the monster dealer cages; curious, I turned my head and there it was. A young ‘Death Weasel’...

"Sweety, are you sure about this?" (Shun)

The Death Weasel was a monster that looked like a giant black weasel with red eyes, around 7ft tall when fully matured, and has the nasty ability to use direct wind mana manipulation to cut it's prey. It's one of the strongest monsters in this kingdom and is one of the monsters who have killed the most adventurers throughout history. This fella was not only strong but also quite smart, which is what made it so frightening.

"Yes! Wyndy wants that!" (Wyndy)

Did I spoil her too much? OF COURSE I DID! So what?! Am I going to spoil her even more?

"Sure, sweety, if that's what you want!" (Shun)

SURE AS HELL I WILL!

"Yeahhh!" (Wyndy)

Wyndy cutely put her arms in the air shouting from joy.

"Wait a minute! Are you really going to buy her an actual Death Weasel?! She's 4 years old! Buy her a drake too since you're at it!" (Eva)

"Oh! Good idea! Do you want a drake too Wyndy?" (Shun)

She clearly said that in sarcasm but at the time I just thought, Oh! Maybe she’d really like that!

"No! I hate dragons!" (Wyndy)

"You must be kidding me! Just how much are you going to spoil her?!" (Eva)

"Uhhh~... But I don't spoil Wyndy, she’s just such a good girl she deserve as much. What do you think Setsuna, Mysty? Is it a bad idea to buy her the Death Weasel?" (Shun)

Both who were currently dressed in beautiful, yet not flashy, western dress made a thinking expression, before nodding with a smile.

"I don't think so! If Wyndy wants it where’s the harm?" (Mysty)

"Myself agrees, a pet would be good to teach her responsibility as well." (Setsuna)

I turned to Eva with a grin.

"See?" (Shun)

But that just angered even more...

"You goddamn stupidly doting parents! Don't come to me when she’s wounded by it!" (Eva)

"Ahahahah! Don't joke around Eva. The most fearful lifeform around here is Wyndy now that you taught her magic, I don't think a simple Death Weasel could do anything to her. Also it’ll be binded with a Slave pact anyway, so even if it were to attack her it will receive the backlash and stop immediately." (Shun)

"*Sigh* Just do whatever you want..." (Eva)

Shaking her head in exasperation, Eva didn't say another word of protest after that.

"Okay! Let's go buy it!" (Shun)

Now that it was decided I approached the monster dealer with a smile, and as soon as he recognised me he first panicked but soon smiled back while rubbing his hands in a businessman-like manner.

"Well, well! If it isn't the Marquis, sir Fenrik! What can this humble merchant do for you your holiness?" (Monster dealer)

Hmm? Oh! He's also wearing a blade necklace, so he's also one of Ymylfana’s believers, this city seems to have a lot of them, more than any other, maybe because I live near it?

"Hello, I am quite interested in your Death Weasel." (Shun)

When he heard me the merchant showed me a bright smile.

"My! Your holiness has quite the taste! I am really proud of having it! It's quite rare to find such a young Death Weasel on the market! But it will become much simpler for it to obey you in the future if you train him at an earlier age! Because of that I must warn you that it's price is much higher than the other Death Weasels you could find on the market." (Monster dealer)

It seem he is afraid I would accuse him of scamming me.

"Don't worry about the money just tell me how much you think it's worth and sell it to me." (Shun)

"Yes of course! Because of it's rarity this one costs 2.000.000 Sol." (Monster dealer)

When she heard the price Eva, who was still silent until then, gasped.

"Two million?!" (Eva)

Which shocked the Monster dealer in turn, afraid that I was also angered from the price.

"I-I'm sorry to say this is the market price! I can swear on the name of our goddess Ymylfana that it's the truth!" (Monster dealer)

If he gone as far as to swear it on Ymylfana’s name in front of me, then that means he’s sure of his price.

"Don't worry, I expected it to be more expensive than that. So we have a deal." (Shun)

Both Eva and the dealer sighed, but one from relief and the other one from exasperation.

"For the love of god..." (Eva)

"I see! I will prepare immediately, also maybe you already know about this, but I will need a drop of your blood to make the Slave pact." (Monster dealer)

"Ah yes I do, don't worry, but I won't be the one to make the contract, this little one will be." (Shun)

Saying that I pointed to Wyndy who was still riding my shoulders and was squirming around excited from obtaining such an interesting pet.

The Monster dealer looked at me as if I was crazy.

"Ahahah, you are quite the joker your holiness..." (Monster dealer)

It seems he thought I was joking, but I didn't say anything and just glared at him as if to tell him, 'what are you saying'?

"... Seriously?" (Monster dealer)

I just nodded in answer, and the Merchant got back to his work while still looking shocked.

After taking a small flask of black ink from a wooden box, the merchant also took out a brush, a small needle and a syringe containing a strange green liquid.

"I'm ready, would you show me your hand young girl? It's going to prick you a little okay?" (Monster dealer)

After I put her on the floor, Wyndy approached the stall and showed her small hand to the Monster dealer, as she did the merchant tried to stab one of her fingers with a needle.

I say ‘tried’ because he wasn't even able to break her skin with it...

"Uh? That's weird... I can't pierce it..." (Monster dealer)

"Ahhh... Sorry about that, can you hand me the needle and let me do it?" (Shun)

Understanding that he wouldn't be able to pierce her skin as she was 'different' from a normal kid, the Monster dealer handed me the needle.

"Wyndy, look at my eyes, sweety." (Shun)

Doing as I said she looked into my eyes, curious as to why I asked her to do that.

"Done." (Shun)

As I said that you could see a small drop of blood appearing at the end of her index finger. I used the needle with such speed as she was looking into my eyes that she didn't even feel it prick her finger.

"Impressive... I didn't even see you do it. Now young lady put your finger above this flask." (Monster dealer)

Saying that he showed an open flask to Wyndy who did as instructed, and soon the drop of blood that was at the end of her finger fell inside as blood gathered.

"Perfect! Now I just need to draw the sigils on its chest, can I ask you for your assistance sir? I will put it to sleep but this little guy has quite the speed and can be hard to catch." (Monster dealer)

"Sure why not." (Shun)

"Thank you! I'm pretty sure I could be able to catch it myself, but I'm fearing of wounding it in the process." (Monster dealer)

Agreeing to help him I approached the cage, and the small Death Weasel who was around 3ft tall looked at me with angry eyes.

*Fuuu*

*Squeal?!*

Making a light sound as my hand cut the wind, I caught the young monster by the skin of its neck before it could even react, making a squeal of surprise as it finally realised I was holding the back of his neck.

"Perfect! Please hold it still!" (Monster dealer)

As I forced it to the floor making him unable to move, the merchant used this opening to stab his bottom with the syringe and soon the monster struggled less and less, showing signs of falling asleep until it finally stopped clawing the floor of its cage.

Now that the weasel was unconscious, the Monster dealer opened the cage and took the monster before putting it on its back on his stall.

"He’s not moving anymore... Is he okay?" (Wyndy)

Wyndy showed quite the worry for the little fella.

"Don't worry sweety, mister just put him to sleep so it won't hurt itself while struggling. He will wake up later in full health." (Shun)

Reassured she made a small nod telling me she understood.

The Monster dealer was engrossed in his work and didn't show any sign of paying attention to our conversation.

"Aaaand, done! I only need to activate the sigils now. But before that... I'm sorry to ask sir, but could you pay me upfront? I know it is quite rude of me, but after the slave pact it won't be possible to change his owner anymore so..." (Monster dealer)

"Ah, yes of course. Here you go." (Shun)

Saying that I handed him my birthcard, but when he received it his eyes almost popped out of his head since I forgot to use the hide function...

Shun Fenrik14 Year Old2.548.157.245 S[td3]Blessing & Prophecy[/td4]Cursed Swordsman / Champion of the Blade GoddessDescription: You are the mighty champion of the goddess Ymylfana, her daughters the cursed blades are your waifu! Use the power of your soul and gain their true power!

Shit that's embarrassing, for him to see my blessing...

Not saying anything, but his face clearly more pale than before as he saw my wealth, he put his card above mine and started to write '2.000.000' on it's back using his finger, before giving back mine.

On my birthcard everything written on it disappeared as it was replaced by a simple number '2.000.000', validating the amount to transfer I draw my signature on the back of my birthcard using my finger.

As it was validated by both my card and the Monster dealer’s one the cards brightened for a moment, as the money was being transferred from my bank account to his.

When both cards stopped glowing the Merchant took a look at his card and smiled satisfied.

"Everything’s fine, thank you for your purchase!" (Monster dealer)

After taking a small breath to focus, the Monster dealer started his aria.

"In my name, elemental of darkness bind this being to the man who sacrified blood to you, and made this being his slave, Slave pact!" (Monster dealer)

Something like a dark light appeared from the sigils on the monster’s chest as the pact was being made, but soon disappeared.

"It's done, here you go young lady." (Monster dealer)

Saying that the merchant handed the small monster to Wyndy who hugged him like a plushy as soon as she took it.

"So fluffy!" (Wyndy)

She sure looks happy! 2 million is a small price to pay to see such a cute smile!

"Death Weasels are carnivorous, so remember to feed it at least once a day, oh yes I almost forgot! This is a male. Anyway I hope that if you’re ever in search of a monster you will think of me your holiness! Have a nice day!" (Monster dealer)

After answering him with a small 'thank you' we left the stall and continued our walk in the city, Wyndy holding my hand with her left one and holding her Death Weasel pet with her right.

"So? What name are you going to give him?" (Shun)

Wyndy tilted her head thinking about one.

"Mmm... I can't think of one... Papa, please name him! Papa’s good at naming!" (Wyndy)

Urg! Sorry Wyndy, Papa is actually quite horrible at naming! Even though he named you, he only mixed a good sounding name with Wyvern... But if my daughter asks something of me, I must do it!

"Maybe... Skoll?" (Shun)

Skoll is one of Fenrir’s sons in Norse mythology, but I'm having some mixed feelings about this name as it means 'treachery' in old Norse. I wonder, where did I even read that?

"Oh! It sound good! Skoll! It's his name from now on!" (Wyndy)

Oh well, at least she likes it.

"Now that Wyndy received her birthday gift, where should we go?" (Mysty)

"I was thinking of going..." (Shun)

"HEY!" (???)

Suddenly a kid appeared in front of us blocking our path, it was a really young child with lion ears and tail, who was wearing a dirty white one-piece as his only clothing.

A Beastman from the Rahaarna clan?... For a country who forbid slavery and freed them, it sure looks as hell like one.

"Are you the one who holds the cursed blades?! Give them to me!" (Beastman kid)

Hearing his, demand Setsuna and Mysty couldn't help themselves from giggling. But seeing the pitiful state this kid was in and the fearful face of Wyndy, as old memories were resurfacing inside her mind when she saw this child, I really wasn't in the mood to laugh.

"Kid, I don't know why you want my cursed blades so much but you won't be able to wield them anyway. More importantly explain to..." (Shun)

"Shut up!" (Beastman kid)

Suddenly the kid leapt at me to punch me in the face, I saw it coming from a mile away even though he had some incredible speed for his age, yet I didn't move as I thought his punch wouldn't be able to wound me anyway.

*Slam*

But to my surprise his punch actually contained enough strength that the inside of my mouth cut itself against my teeth, making a small trace of blood flow out of it.

Not only my family but the people who were around us in the street looked at the scene with eyes wide open from shock, wondering who the hell was that kid and just how much balls he had to directly attack me.

"...Ah...Ahah...AHAHAHAHAH! Excellent! Incredible kid! But before attacking someone blindly, try to talk, or you’re going to feel pain!" (Shun)

*BAM*

Slamming my fist against his face, it made a loud sound as he started to flew across the street, and as he was rolling around I walked in his direction taking my time. When he finally stopped rolling I grabbed him by his his collar and put him on his feet.

"Now we're even. Explain to me why you want my blades and why you look like a slave, will you?" (Shun)

The kid who had one of his cheeks clearly showing signs that it was going to be quite swollen later looked into my eyes with a glare of rage, trying to hold back his tear.

"I-I need it to avenge my sister! That goddamn monster... He tortured her *sob*... Again and again in front of me...*sob* And she kept looking at me in despair asking for help*sob*... And I... I couldn't do anything!*sob* Aahhhhhhh!" (Beastman kid)

Unable to contain his tears anymore the Beastman kid started to cry in despair.

A monster uh? I can think of someone... Could the rumor about him be true? If I knew, I would have killed him long ago.

"Kid, could the monster you talking about be some human pig called Cahl Beenor?" (Shun)

The kid still sobbing just made a small nod, his face looking like a mess from the snot and tears covering it.

"I-I was able to run away...*sob* As guards tried to get me out of my cage to bring me to his torture room..*sob*" (Beastman kid)

... So it was him, Earl Cahl Beenor, the noble merchant who buyed the mansion of the previous noble overseeing this territory. There was always sick rumors about him, but to think they were true...

"Kid... What's your name?" (Shun)

"... Garaki *sob*" (Garaki)

I put my hand on his head and started patting it, making him jolt in surprise.

"Hey Garaki. Do you want to see Cahl as he dies in the most horrible way?" (Shun)(PR: sadist shun wants to make everyone a sadist)

"Uh?" (Garaki)

Not understanding what I meant Garaki just made a stupid sound looking at me with curious eyes.

"So? Do you?" (Shun)

"YES! I do!" (Garaki)(PR: another one reformed)

"Good! Then..." (Shun)

"He's here!" (Random guard)

... Again, someone cut me as I was talking. It was a bunch of guards that were running in our direction pointing at Garaki, it was most likely men that worked for Earl Beenor.

"You there! Hold that child!" (Random guard)

Am I dreaming or is this guy giving me orders? What a laugh, too bad for you guys but for letting such a thing happen to those kids you're going to share the Earl’s fate.

"I won't, why would I?" (Shun)

Saying that I hid Garaki behind my back.

"What?! Do you know who we work for?! We work for Earl Beenor! The owner of this city!" (Random guard)

When they heard the guards the citizens who were around us made a gasp, as if they couldn't believe he just said that to my face, and neither could I.

"PffAHAHAHAH! OH GOD! MY SIDE! AHAHAHAH! Ahhhh... I see, so Beenor is the owner of this city uh? Not the mayor or the Marquis Shun Fenrik, but the Earl Cahl Beenor." (Shun)

"That's right! So if you understand hand us that kid!" (Random guard)

Just how clueless those guys are?

"*Sigh* Eva, Setsuna, Mysty, make it so Wyndy won't see what's going to happen." (Shun)

"Yes!""Understood my lord!""Don't worry" (Wives & Eva)

they said while blocking Wyndy’s view with their hands.

"Uh? What's happening? Is Papa going to do something?" (Wyndy)

The guards looked curiously at me, and the bystanders understanding what was going to happen either ran away if they were with children, or were waiting eagerly for me to put on a show. Those guys are also crazy...

"Garaki, little guy." (Shun)

"Y-Yes?" (Garaki)

"Keep your eyes wide open. I’ll show you true strength." (Shun)

The guards not understanding what was happening and by the reactions of those around them, started to sweat profusely as they were starting to get an idea of who I was.

"Y-You wouldn't happen to be sir Fenrik?" (Random guard)

Oh come on what happened to all your spunk? It was pretty funny you know.

"Damn straight I am you retard. *Cough* Hear me citizen of Lakopol! I, the Marquis Shun Fenrik, decree the Earl Cahl Beenor and his men traitor to the kingdom who disobeyed the law that the Queen herself enforced, by willingly enslaving Beastmen children to torture them! For this they shall be executed by my own hands!" (Shun)

As I finished my speech, unlike what you expect of the mood, a loud cheering was suddenly raised from the citizen.

"""OOOHHHHHHHHH!!!"""

"Wait please! We only did what the Earl asked us to do!" (Random guard)

Garaki couldn't follow what was happening and just looked at me in shock.

"Shut up you little shit! You let something like that happen, it's enough to be punishable by death!... DIE!" (Shun)

"""AAAAahhhhh!""" (Guards)

In a panic the guards didn't even try to fight back and showed me their backs as they ran away.

In a jump I reached the open back of one of them and pierced it with my naked hand, destroying his heart and killing him as my hand emerged out of his chest.

"""OOHHH!!!"""

As I killed the guards cheers could be heard around me. What is wrong with the people here?

Taking the sword of the guard i killed out of its sheath, I jumped from guard to guard separating their heads from their body in what looked like a ritual dance. And in just a matter of seconds no guard was left alive.

"""OOOOOOHHHHHH!!!!"""

"That was incredible your holiness!" (Citizen 1)

"Praise the goddess Ymylfana for letting me see that today!" (Citizen 2)

"When I'm going to tell my wife I saw the War-chief fight right before my eyes she's never going to believe me!" (Citizen 3)

Ignoring those fanatics I walked to Garaki, and showed him a smile.

"So? What do you say? Ready to go kill the pig?" (Shun)

Garaki looked at me in a daze, not showing any sign of fear or disgust for what he saw, just shock.

"Y-Yes! Please help me kill him!" (Garaki)

"Hey. Don't misunderstand, it's not like I'm doing this for you or something you know." (Shun)

"Such a tsundere*..." (Eva) (*Google it)

What’s a ‘tsundere’...? (PR: if anyone want’s to know why he doesn’t know the meaning of tsundere it’s because he wasn’t japanese or into anime in his old life)

"I'm doing this because creeps like Cahl are the kind I absolutely hate. Also you’ll be the one to kill him, not me." (Shun)

"B-But! Sir I’ll never be able to..." (Garaki)

"What? You’re not strong enough to kill him? Or do you not have the balls to do it?" (Shun)

Garaki looked at the floor in shame, biting his lips in frustration.

"I-I'm not strong enough..." (Garaki)

...

"Hey... You know you are insulting me right now? Do you even know how many people were able to make me bleed?" (Shun)

"What?... Uh don't know sir..." (Garaki)

"Two, both champions, are you a champion kid?" (Shun)

There was also a werebear when I was 6, but let’s not count him as people, even if I did for Bobo...

His eyes widened for a moment in shock before blushing for some reason, I guess he’s pretty proud to hear that.

"I don't have any blessing sir..." (Garaki)

None?! I didn't expected that, is that a natural talent of his clan, or is it his own talent?

"So then Garaki, are you telling me a kid who was sucking on his mother tits not long ago, without any blessing, weakened from being hungry as hell, that was able to make me bleed, is weak?" (Shun)

When I mentioned him being hungry Garaki held his stomach while blushing, but this time it was out of shame.

"I don't know sir, I don't feel like I am..." (Garaki)

...

"Good answer! If you told me you were strong I would have smacked your head, you’re certainly not weak, but you’re not strong either, for now at least." (Shun)

This guy has potential.

Thinking that, I patted his head and looked in my family direction.

"Go ahead and go home before me, I’ll just take care of some monster extermination and go back home later. Oh! And tell Edea and Alice to prepare a new room for a disciple." (Shun)

They nodded and started to go back, but before they do they let Wyndy who was still holding her pet wave her little hand wildly in the air.

"See you later Papa! Thank you again for Skoll!" (Wyndy)

"Sure sweety! See you latter!" (Shun)

And I waved back at her.

"Good, now I can go wild. Follow me, Garaki, let’s go butcher some pig." (Shun)

"Yes!" (Garaki)

After replying to me in an energetic way, Garaki followed right behind me as we walked through the city, being followed by a lot of citizens for some reason. A lot of them were even holding a crystal camera as they did. Since the pig mansion was at the center of the city we soon reached it, and seeing me coming their way while wielding a bloodied sword, the guards at the entrance tried to stop me.

"You! Stop right..." (Random guard)

"Shut up." (Shun)

Not leaving them the time to scream I cut their neck, while continuing to walk as if they weren't even there from the start. The mansion was surrounded by a tall wall with a giant and heavy front gate, that I kicked open with one hit, breaking it in the process...

*VLAAAMMMM*

"Sorry for the intrusion..." (Shun)

Guards who were most likely posted inside the house, rushed outside alarmed by the sound of the door getting destroyed.

"What's happening?! Who are you?!" (Guard captain)

A tough looking guy covered in scars and wielding a broadsword came outside with the rest of the guard. From his uniform being the same as the other guards but not wearing a helmet and being the oldest of them, it was likely that this guy was the captain of the guard.

"Nice to meet you, I am the Marquis Shun Fenrik, the noble overseeing this island and with it this city. I judged the Earl Beenor... Please excuse me, I meant Earl Piggy and his men to be guilty of enslaving Beastmen and torturing them, for this reason... You’re all going to die today. Sorry, you guys had bad luck to work for this shit, but then again you were the ones that choose to work for him." (Shun)

As they heard my name and the fact I came here personally to kill them, the guards started to panic.

"I don't want to die!" (Random guard 1)

"No way! I only did what my employer asked me to do!" (Random guard 2)

"That's right we're innocent!" (Random guard 3)

Your babbling hurts my ears... Shut the fuck up...

Not hearing any of their pleas I got into the stance for 'Mountain Splitter', and released it in a horizontal slash, slashing only the air in the process.

*Fuuuuu*

*Clang*

After I cutted the air, my sword broke and fell to the floor as the skill put too much strain on it.

All the guards that were in a line in front of me, suddenly had their upper body falling from their lower as they were still standing. Everyone but the guard captain who hid behind his sword blocking the attack.

"Just what the hell did you just do?!" (Guard captain)

"Oh? That's impressive, you seem to be strong for a simple guard!" (Shun)

"You fucking monster..." (Guard captain)

Not caring about his insult I turned around and looked at Garaki who was currently looking at me with stars in his eyes.

"Now it's your turn Garaki, I leave him to you." (Shun)

""...What?"" (Garaki & Guard captain)

"I can't! You said it yourself sir! This person is strong, and I'm unarmed!" (Garaki)

"Yes and? That's precisely why I chose him to be your opponent, you don't need any weapon, your weapon is your body, now do it Garaki!" (Shun)

"Hey! Are you fucking kidding me?! Do you think some kid could rival me?!" (Guard captain)

"Yeah I'm pretty sure some random kid couldn't, but the little guy here? I'm pretty sure he can. Now go Garaki, do it." (Shun)

Shaking like a leaf Garaki looked at me in terror unable to move.

"I-I can't sir this is too much for me!" (Garaki)

...

"GARAKI!!! Why are you being so meek now?! Where is your rage?! Did you already forgot what those guys did to your sister?! Or what?! Are you thinking this guy is innocent because he didn't kill her directly or something?! No! He's guilty as much as the rest! He was able to stop the Earl’s madness yet did nothing! For that he's as guilty as Piggy! Now Garaki! Kill! Use your rage and kill!" (Shun)

As he listened to me Garaki became redder and redder from rage, he most likely saw back the scene of his sister being tortured right in front of his eyes as he was forced to look at it.

"AAAAAHHHHH!!!" (Garaki)

Losing completely his mind to rage Garaki rushed at the guard captain at an incredible speed.

Good, as expected this little fellow is that kind of fighter.

From seeing the enraged kid running at him with such speed, the guard captain made a jolt of surprise, and tried to smash his head with his broadsword on reflex.

"AH!" (Garaki)

*Clang*

But unlike most would have expected the kid parried it by directly punching the side of the sword as it was coming for his head. Making a loud sound as the shock was enough to leave the guard captain completely open.

"You must be kidding?!" (Guard captain)

"DIE!" (Garaki)

*SLAM*

Sending a punch that was even more powerful than the one he sent to my face straight at the guard captain’s stomach, the man couldn't help but retreat by jumping back while vomiting the contents of his stomach.

*Sigh* That fool it would have been finished already if he used his most fearsome weapon.

Most Beastmen have retractable claws and that was the case of the Rahaarna, but they only grew after some time, but Garaki was too young for that so it wasn't what I was talking about at the time.

"Use your legs you idiot!" (Shun)

Yes his legs was his most fearsome weapon. Even though he has a sickly appearance and almost no muscle on his body, those thin and scrawny legs held an incredible amount of power. That’s most likely how he was able to run and jump at such a speed.

I'm not sure he was even able to hear me in such a state of rage, though.

Not leaving the guard captain the time to get back his breath, Garaki followed him as he retreated back with a leap and sent a barrage of punches. Forcing his opponent to stay on defence, his punches were being blocked by the flat of the guard captain’s broadsword. As he kept punching the metal, his fists started to show his bloody bones, but not even minding the pain he continued his offensive without showing any signs of stopping.

*Creak*

"Uh?!" (Guard captain)

The captain massive broadsword was starting to show signs of breaking under the pressure of the child’s fists.

"NOW GARAKI!!! KICK!!!" (Shun)

Obeying under the pressure of my blood-lust on reflex, Garaki kicked the sword with all his strength.

"AAAAHHHH!" (Garaki)

*BAAAM*

*CRASH*

As his right foot made contact with the sword it made a loud sound from impact, before breaking the broadsword to pieces, Garaki’s kick didn't stop and continued its path until it reached the guard captain’s belly not only crushing it, but the sharp pieces of metal that were in Garaki foot after breaking the blade stabbed him, opening his stomach as Garaki’s foot retreated.

"No... No way... *Blurgh*" (Guard captain)

The guard captain showed shock on his face, unable to believe he was going to lose his life to some slave kid. And looking at him as he was slowly dying was the said child, heavily panting still not even registering the pain.

"Good job Garaki, you took your first step in your revenge." (Shun)

I walked to his side and patted his head.

"Sir... It hurts all over..." (Garaki)

"Yeah I'm pretty sure it does, but that pain is something useful, it will make you stronger. Don't worry I have something useful on me, but let's first take the metal pieces out of your foot. Show it to me." (Shun)

Doing as instructed he sat on the floor and showed me his foot that was bleeding.

"Okay, while I take them out, eat these. It's important so swallow it whole if you must, but keep eating." (Shun)

What I handed him were only normal sweets that I had on me, but the kid needed calories for what I'm gonna give him latter.

As I took out the metal shards inside his foot Garaki grimaced from pain, but kept eating the sweets I handed him. He was so hungry that he would have wolfed them down either way.

"Good, there’s none left! Now take this and drink every last drop of it." (Shun)

I handed him a small flask with a red liquid inside that looked like blood, it was an actual healing potion made by Mysty. It accelerates natural regeneration by more than a hundred fold, but uses a lot of calories and fat in the process. Some crazy housewives have even started using it as a slimming potion by willingly hurting themselves and drinking the potion after that.

As he kept drinking the potion Garaki grimaced once again from it's bad taste.

"Don't whine and drink it whole! You’re a man aren't you?!" (Shun)

Still drinking he nodded and closed his eyes while forcing the nasty liquid down his throat.

"Puah! It's really disgusting..." (Garaki)

"But it doesn't hurt anymore does it?" (Shun)

While he was drinking his wounds kept slowly closing themselves, and soon all that was left was scars. That's the downfall of this potion, it's doesn't heal you but helps you regenerate so it leaves scars after using it.

"I-Incredible! I'm not hurt anymore?!" (Garaki)

"Here, keep eating sweets, the potion must have taken quite a toll on you so take them as a precaution." (Shun)

Saying that I handed him even more candies, I kept a lot of them on me as they are Wyndy’s favorite.

"T-Thank you!" (Garaki)

And he took them with a smile.

"Now let's go kill the piggy." (Shun)

"Yes!" (Garaki)

Even after killing for the first time he didn't show aversion or disgust to it either. Good, really good.

Thinking about the little guy’s potential I barged inside the mansion. Inside was a guy who had so much fat that his belly was almost reaching his thigh.

Just how is he even able to stand on his legs?!

"Hmpf! I knew the day you would try to kill me would come, you bastard! Jealous of me I'm sure!" (Piggy)

What is that retard even saying…(PR:OINK! OINK! OINK!)

"I'm not the one who is going to kill you, this little fella here will be the one." (Shun)

"Tch! What? Don't tell me you're here because I played with some beasts?! What a joke!" (Piggy)

*Kkrrr*

No I wasn't the one who was grinding his teeth, it was Garaki who was currently making a fist with so much strength that blood was flowing along his fingers as his nails dug into his palm.

"I’ll kill you... I’ll kill you! I’ll KILL YOU!" (Garaki)

Oh! Blood-lust! A lot of it! This kid keeps impressing me!

Piggy, feeling the child’s blood-lust, made a face of shock and walked backwards trying to take some distance.

"Garaki! Don't simply kill him! You will never feel satisfied with that, first break his legs and arms, after that I’ll teach you how to make someone regret being born." (Shun)

"Yes sir!" (Garaki)

"IIIHHHH!" (Piggy)

Cahl made a pitiful shriek of terror as he heard our conversation, but confidence soon appeared back on his face.

"I leave it to you Mack! Kill them!" (Cahl)

The man named Mack suddenly appeared from behind a pillar as if he was hiding until now to make a dramatic entrance...

"Don't worry sir, I will do what you paid me for." (Mack)

The man was wearing a long black robe that was hiding his face inside a hood and had red sigils marked on it from enchantments, he was also wielding a long staff with a big red crystal at it's end.

A mage uh? But from the his enchantments and staff his speciality is fire uh?

From seeing Eva working on her enchantment I had a lot of knowledges about it and was able to understanding the meaning of most sigils. The ones on his robes are, 'Fire mana Enhancement', 'Heat Resistance' and 'Shock Resistance', also the red crystal at the end of his staff was clearly a high grade mana stone full of fire mana.

You’re seriously out of luck, piggy, to make me fight a fire mage of all thing...

"Garaki hide behind me for now, piggy will have to wait." (Shun)

Not asking me anything he just did as I said and hid behind me.

"Hey you're a fire mage aren't you? Fire mages are really shitty... I'm pretty sure I could even take your strongest spell head on. Yeah! Let's do that! Throw at me your strongest spell, I won't move from here!" (Shun)

The man of whom we could only see the mouth, showed anger as I mocked him openly.

"Oh?! Is that so?! Then why don't you have a taste of it!" (Mack)

Tch, to fall for my provocation so easily...

"In my name, elemental of fire, do my binding and burn my enemies to ash like a raging sun, Sun wrath!" (Mack)

Oh! A high ranked spell uh? That's strange, I know of every human high-ranked mage as there are only 7 of them, not counting Elivera who is an elf, and of every one I know none is called Mack...

As he finished his aria, a blinding bright ball of fire appeared above Mack head.

Don't they care if he burns the mansion? Oh apparently they do, Piggy is as white as a sheet right now.

"Take this!" (Mack)

Shouting that, Mack threw the ball at me like some space warrior would an energy ball.

Fool...

As the fire ball approached me, burning everything around it, I changed into my fire soul. And as soon as I did, the ball of fire stopped in it's tracks before disappearing as it separated itself into ten rivers of fire flying in the air and gathering at the end of my claws.

"... WHAT THE HELL?!" (Mack)

"Sorry to say Macky, but small elementals of fire can't go against an actual Spirit God of fire..." (Shun)

"...What?" (Mack)

As his face was covered in confusion, I took a stance, backing both my arms behind me as far as I could.

This is the first time I try this skill in actual combat... Fenrik Inhuman Style, 'Volcano Splitter'.

I slashed the air using my claws, using the same principle as 'Mountain Splitter'...

*Ffffffuuuuuu*

The air who was not only cut but also burned from the flames coming from my claws, made a louder sound than usual.

"VVVVLLLAAAAMMMMMMMM*

And soon every wall around me burst in flames as ten deep cuts mixed with an inferno-like fire carved into them. Asking the fire around me with something like a mental link to not approach me as to not burn Garaki, the fire made a strange sight as it kept itself against the walls as if avoiding me.

Yes, in this form I can actually talk with fire, or to be more precise with fire mana who are in reality something like small spirits. Every element in this world is a collection of small spirits, who when asked through a spell do your binding and control their element as you wish. That's the principle of magic, the spell is only a way to communicate with a huge number of small spirits who live around you, and feed them with your own mana to boost their powers and let them make an even stronger magic.

When I learned of that and saw the Leviathan summoned by Eva, I came to a conclusion, the Guardians are Spirit gods. That’s why in this form small spirits can't go against my will and do my binding as I ask them to... Yes, I know it's overpowered.

Mack? He's the small pieces of burning meat left on the floor. From the heat that was created from my skill nothing was left; neither his robe, his staff, nor the mana crystal at end of it. Nothing!

I changed back into my human(?) form, after asking for the fire spirits to leave, and looked back at Garaki who had his mouth wide open not understanding what happened once again.

"Luckily it seems piggy ran and hid as soon as he saw Mack’s spell, he should be hiding around here somewhere safe. Do you have an idea?" (Shun)

"Uh? Ah yes!... Maybe the cellar? It's where he tortured my sister, the door of the room is made of shiny metal and looks tough." (Garaki)

"The torture chamber is it? Doesn't that sound perfect? He's most likely there, let's go." (Shun)

Giving the signal to move, I let Garaki show me the way as we walked through a blackened-to-charcoal room, making a crispy sound as we walked on the black floor. Luckily it seems only the surface was burned to a crisp so the building won't suddenly fall on our head... I hope...

"It's here!" (Garaki)

Garaki opened a normal wooden door that was a little further than the entrance and was spared from the flames, behind it was stairs going down to a door made of actual mithril at the end of it.

Seems like piggy really didn't want people to see what was inside this room.

"Okay Garaki, I’m going to try something out, so don't say a word for now okay?" (Shun)

He nodded not saying a word.

Smart kid.

I walked down the stairs until I reached the flashy mithril door and knocked on it before talking while giving my best imitation of Mack’s voice.

*Knock**Knock*

"Sir? I took care of them!" (Mack?)

It was one of my hidden talents from the time I was Rick.

"Oh? Oh! Excellent! I knew an elf mercenary was a good idea!" (Piggy)

Ah, so he was an elf? No wonder I never heard of him.

*Kacha**Kacha**Kacha*

After the sound of multiple bolts being moved to open the door was heard, the dumbass opened the door with a smile on his face.

"Surprise mother-fucker!" (Shun)

Kicking his stomach while holding back, like some spartan making someone fall inside a well, Piggy rolled on the floor like a barrel, Garaki entered inside and I locked the door behind him.

This room was as sick as I thought it would be.

The walls were covered in dry blood and had shackles fixed on them. Above our head was butcher like hooks connected to the ceiling with chains, one of them still had traces of fresh blood on it. And the sickest things in that room were all the torture tools that was gathered in it, like a wooden horse, an iron maiden, and smaller tools the use of which I couldn't even guess...

... I know It's kinda like the pot calling the kettle black, but this room is fucking sick.

"So Garaki, what are we going to start with?" (Shun)

Answering me with actions rather than words he approached piggy who was trying to run away by crawling on the floor, but his belly slowed him down so he really didn't move that fast...

*Crack*

"AAAAAHHHhhhhhhh!" (Piggy)

And broke one of his leg by stepping on it with all his strength.

"*Whistle* You’re already getting the hang of it!" (Shun)

Garaki smiled as if he was happy to receive my praise and broke piggy's arms and the leg left intact one by one. Making him squeal like a real pig, crying near death.

Mmm? That's a nice smile you have on your face here kid!

Garaki was panting heavily while smiling as he was making the pig beg for his life.

"Please! I'm sorry! Just don't kill me!" (Piggy)

...

"I don't remember..." (Garaki)

"W-What?" (Piggy)

"I don't remember what you did to my sister when she begged for her life... Oh! Right, you burned her with a burning metal bar!" (Garaki)

Saying that with a smile he walked to some strange tool who looked like a giant heat-stone who had metal bars on it and fetched one of them.

"No! No please! I beg you! I do anything!" (Piggy)

"Shut up... And squeal like the pig you are!" (Garaki)

Oh! He sounded just like me right now! Did I already influence the little guy this much?

"*SSQQQUEEEAALLLL*" (Piggy)

As he put the iron bar which was red hot on his stomach, Piggy really started squealing.

Like that the torture session continued for a long while, doing his best to keep him alive as long as he could. Garaki finally killed the pig by hooking his head on one of the hooks by planting it into one of his eye sockets, though it was already empty before that, as it popped out when Garaki kicked his head.

Looking at the corpse of the one who killed his sister swinging in the air like a hanged man at the end of its rope, Garaki made small smile of satisfaction. I walked to his side and patted his small head.

"Are you satisfied?" (Shun)

"...Yes... I'm satisfied." (Garaki)

"I see... Then it's fine for you to grieve your sister’s death now..." (Shun)

Hearing my word something inside Garaki broke free and he started to bawl like a kid his age should... He looked nothing like the little guy who tortured Cahl with a smile just a minute ago.

And that was how I encountered the kid I made my disciple, to teach him the Fenrik style. Not only from all the kids I was teaching was he the most talented when it came to fighting, he was the only one with real talent with the unarmed style. He was also the only one capable of learning some skills of the inhuman style that needed either claws or tentacles, although that will have to wait as he won't have any claws until puberty.

Why didn't I adopt him like Wyndy?... Because I was afraid he could become a little too close to Wyndy, I think my sister kinda left me with a trauma after that kiss... Yet they still became quite close as he was the one closest to her own age...

Also Skoll became quite attached to Wyndy and obeyed her without making trouble, I guess a name is only a name after all?

27 D/ 02 M/ 3560 Y

Back to the present.

"What is it Garaki? Does the Queen keep calling me on the 'Overseeing Mirror'? Or perhaps the King?" (Shun)

Yes, some months ago Thomason became king of Asfellana as he married the queen, but don't misunderstand, in this country the one holding the authority is the one coming from the royal family; gender didn't matter here.

Also a Overseeing Mirror is a magic tool that lets you see and hear someone from a paired Overseeing Mirror. It sounds quite useful like that but just one of them is worth much more than my manor, you need a High-mage to activate it, and you also need another tool called a 'Calling Lamp' which is a small lamp that warns you by making a bright light when someone is trying to make a connection with your mirror. But even with all of it's downsides it's quite useful as it lets me talk to someone in real-time who is at a month and half distance from here...

"No, miss Setsuna is calling for you, it seems some noble wants to talk to you." (Garaki)

"*Sigh* Understood, let her know that I'm coming right away." (Shun)

"Yes Teacher!" (Garaki)

After accepting my order Garaki ran back to Setsuna to give her my message.

"Guess I go see what this is about..." (Shun)

As I said that I left the blade I just finished to the side after cooling it down, so Eva can do her own work on it as I leave, but Eva stopped me.

"Are you really going to talk to some noble wearing that?" (Eva)

What Eva was pointing out was the fact that I was only wearing a swimming trunk, flip-flop, and my scarf like some tourist to a paradise island.

"And because of who do you think I keep wearing only this?" (Shun)

Yes, I was constantly wearing that lately for a problematic reason in itself... I don't have any underwear left! After I leave them inside the basket for dirty laundry, they all strangely keep disappearing... And I suspect my crazy sister to be the culprit! I also have some doubts about Edea...

"...I don't know what you are talking about." (Eva)

If you want to sound credible try looking into my eyes without turning away when you talk!

"...Whatever, let's not keep Setsuna waiting for too long. She's been getting really scary when angry lately..." (Shun)

"Oh wait a minute dear!" (Mysty)

"What is it honey? Like I said I'm quite pressed for time right now." (Shun)

"Don't worry I just want to tell you to leave your night open for me! I have a new 'fun' potion I want to try out!" (Mysty)

Of course when Mysty talk about 'fun' potion she is talking about 'that' kind of potion... Actually a whole 10% of my wealth came from nobles who are fans of her products and keep buying them...

"Of course... NOT! Last time I almost had a cardiac arrest because of how much blood gathered down there! I’ll never be the guinea pig for your potions ever again!" (Shun)

Mysty pouted to my answer.

"Oh come on! We had a lot of fun that night!" (Mysty)

"Like hell we did! You and Setsuna just kept using me as a sex toy while I was struggling to stay conscious! NEVER! AGAIN!" (Shun)

Being clear about that I left the workshop not letting Mysty say anything else on this matter. But as I did, I could heard a long 'Umumumumumumu' behind my back… When I think that girl almost succeeded with an aphrodisiac where lethal poisons always failed...

"Papa!" (Wyndy)

As I left the workshop my daughter, who was currently on her giant 5ft tall weasel’s back like she was mounting a horse, approached me while waving her cute little hand... This guy sure grew up fast...

"Where are you going? You finished working? Then play with Wyndy!" (Wyndy)

As she approached me with her steed, she opened her arms making a sign of wanting a hug and her steed strangely rubbed its head against me as if wanting me to pet it...

"Sorry sweety but Mama Setsuna is waiting for me, I’ll play with you latter... Also why is Skoll suddenly so meek with... Oh..." (Shun)

What happened yesterday flashed back in my mind, the little shit soiled one of my favorite carpet in the dining room and I 'lightly' shook it by the neck while screaming.

"IF YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN I’LL FUCKING RIP YOU APART!"

...

Good thing he can't rat on me to Wyndy...

"Uhhh... Too bad, but it's a promise! You play with Wyndy later!" (Wyndy)

"Of course Sweety, did I ever lie to you?" (Shun)

She titled her head to the side while thinking...

"No, you didn't. Then I will wait for you Papa! I’ll get the dinning table ready!" (Wyndy)

After saying that she 'walked' away still on her mount.

Of course when she is speaking of a dining table she was talking about a toy I bought for her, not a real one.

"Shit! I need to hurry or Setsuna is gonna be pissed at me!" (Shun)

I walked quickly in the direction of the main building, but of course somebody else accosted me.

"Hey Teacher! Osu*!" (Sophia) (A greeting used in karate)

The Eva gang were all together as they were training their stamina by jogging around, they have orders to train by themselves when they are not directly trained by me or Edea, or when they have class with Setsuna who teaches them basic knowledges that she herself learned recently by reading books. It seems she's even more smarter than I gave her credit for.

The one who greeted me was Sophia, a girl who is always hyped and has small body with long brown hair hold in a braid and green eyes. She's pretty skillful with a spear, also I wasn't the one to teach them the Osu thing, it was Eva who seems to actually have been Japanese in her previous life. We still didn't talk about our previous life, so it's only a guess.

"Hey Teacher! Are you going somewhere? At this time of the day you work most of the time no?" (Luke)

This boy named Luke with short black hair and eyes is something like Eva’s right-hand, he's pretty good with a sword and shield. He seems to have a knight-like personality and he makes me think of a small Thomason...

"Osu Teacher!" (Karl)

This one is interesting, his name Karl, he has a build like my father, with dark brown hair and eyes. At first with such a build I wanted to teach him to use a broadsword, but it seemed a heavy mace was more to his liking. Weird, to me hammers are only useful to make blades, but to each his own, no? He has a strange personality that is like the mix of a thug and a priest... He talk pretty rudely and always says what he thinks without fear, yet he's also the most good-hearted one of the lot and always reprimands the others when they do something bad.

"OSU TEACH!" (Baku)

This guy, Baku, is always on fire, even though he look the weakest of the lot and is also the least talented, he's the one with the most guts always trying to exceed his limits. As if his personality tainted his appearance, his hair is bright red like Mysty and he has brown eyes. Since he’s physically weaker than the others I’m teaching him how to use two short blades, but unlike in-fighting he seems to have talents when it comes to the things Edea is teaching.

"H-Hello." (Rin)

The timid fellow here is Rin, a young girl who also seems to have a body as gifted as my sister as some parts of her body already started to grow a lot when she's only 10 years old... Yes that's also Eva’s case even though she's not even 10 years old... Guess genes are a scary thing... Anyway this girl is pretty good with a bow, so I can't really teach her anything and she learns the most from Edea like Baku. Oh Also she has dark green hair and eyes, maybe she has blood from another race? Elves are known to have various kinds of hair colors, for example like Elivera’s pink hair.

"...Osu..." (Koko)

And the last one of the gang is Koko, even though she has big beautiful yellow eyes they always look like dead-fish ones. She's an apathetic one, her weapon of choice is a broadsword. Also like Rin she must have some blood from another race as not only her eyes have a strange color but also her hair is dark blue.

And that's the whole gang! You most likely wonder why I kept calling them Eva’s gang don't you? It's because they are... They respect her more than anyone else in here, and would rather obey her orders than even mine.

"Sorry guys, but Setsuna is waiting for me, and at this rate she's going to be quite pissed." (Shun)

When they heard that they gasped and all said in unison.

""""""You need to hurry!"""""" (Eva gang)

... It seems Setsuna is quite the scary teacher... If Eva is the one they respect the most Setsuna is the one they fear the most.

Anyway since they understood why I was in a hurry they let me pass, and I walked inside the main building where Setsuna was waiting for me who looked in my direction with cloudy eyes and an icy glare...

"Thou are late..." (Setsuna)

Geh...

"S-Sorry, I kept running into people on the way here." (Shun)

"*Sigh* Just hurry, they are waiting in the living room." (Setsuna)

"Yes, I’ll do that!" (Shun)

Not wanting to make her more angry than she already was, I sped up my pace and walked to the second floor, in front of the closed door to the living room Edea was waiting for me.

"Master, the people waiting for you inside is the young head of the Karamal family. He is with his wife and his 5 year-old son, who also happens to be a champion though the god he serves is still unknown." (Edea)

"I see... Good job Edea." (Shun)

Saying that I gently pat her head that was higher than mine, and she closed her eyes with pleasure from the sensation.

My petting skill became quite good lately...

Also it was something she asked for herself, every time she does a good job, she just wants me to pet her like one would a cat. I guess she's from the same faction as Setsuna...

In front of the door I fixed my tuxedo... Na just kidding I'm still only wearing a swimming trunk.

And go inside of the room like I owned the house.

Oh wait,I do!

"Hello there." (Shun)

Doing a small greeting I walked to one of the two couches that are facing each other, separated by a low table, and sit in it.

In front of me was a young couple accompanied by a kid, who looked at me with eyes wide open, most likely shocked of what I'm currently wearing.

"Hello, I am the head of this house, the Marquis Shun Fenrik." (Shun)

The one to answer me was the Earl Karamal.

"Nice to meet you, sir Fenrik. I am the Earl John Karamal, this is my wife Elise and my son Jack." (John)

"Nice to meet you too, sir Karamal, ma'am, young man. So, what can I do for you today?" (Shun)

When I asked him, John grimaced a little looking awkward not sure what to say.

"Um... Actually I'm not the one who..." (John)

"Father, I think it would be quicker to let me talk directly to sir Fenrik. Actually it would be even better if you were to leave us alone to talk." (Jack)

The one to cut in as he was speaking was his little boy, who was a champion no doubt from the way he was talking.

"D-Don't be so rude Jack!" (John)

"Don't worry about it sir Karamal, I'm not really well placed to talk about manners anyway, and I agree it’d be simpler for us to talk alone. If that’s alright?" (Shun)

It seems John didn't expect that reaction and was looking at me as if I was crazy, I guess for those of this world who don't know about champions remembering their past life it can look weird when someone takes a 5 year-old kid seriously. But for all I know that kid could actually be older than me, mentally.

"I understand..." (John)

"Thank you. Edea! Please guide sir Karamal and his wife to the garden and entertain them." (Shun)

"Understood Master." (Edea)

Following my instruction Edea politely guided the couple out of the room and left us alone.

"Thank you, this way we can talk without having to hide about our past life." (Jack)

"No problem, so what can I do for you?" (Shun)

"Ah yes, I do have a request of you or to be more precise a proposition, but before that would you permit me to ask a rude question?" (Jack)

"Sure, why not." (Shun)

"Would you happen to have been Rick Waander in your previous life?" (Jack)
