Chapter 31 - "The passing time part-2"

|World Trivia: Werebear, doesn't stand for 'were bear' but 'we're bear'... The more you know!|

27 D/ 02 M/ 3560 Y

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

...

"Ahahahah! You sure don't beat around the bush! Yes that's right, how did you knew?" (Shun)

Jack smiled from my answer looking proud from having guessed right.

"It's quite simple, from your actual age you died around the time Rick did, your love for blade is quite close to his own too. Even though it looks like you have a lot of sides that was never mentioned in your biography or are different." (Jack)

"Biography?! I got something like that after my death?!" (Shun)

"Of course, not only Biography, there was at least three movies themed on your story. But like I said you really don't sound anything like the Rick they describe in them." (Jack)

Movies?... Seriously? People are weird in every worlds I guess...

"You know I think it’s more that my personality is actually quite different from Rick, I had a mental disease making me unable to feel affection for anything at the time." (Shun)

"Oh! I see that's quite fascinating! Of course someone who had a mental disease in his previous life wouldn't keep it after changing body and brain! Thank you for answering my question! I would gladly tell you about my life story but sadly I am nobody as famous, I was just some genius scientist who was killed by one of his coworkers to get all the glory of one of my new discovery. Too bad for him I input false information in the data he stole as a joke I was going to show him, guess the world have a zombie apocalypse on it's hands now? Just kidding, I don't think he's enough of a fool to not see the truth about it... I hope." (Jack)

Wait, so you actually created a zombie virus as a joke?! This guy is freaking dangerous!... Let's forget about what he just said, yup that's the good thing to do...

"Well I do think your story is impressive in it's own way, but can you at least answer the question I always asked myself since I died?" (Shun)

"Sure it would be my pleasure if I could." (Jack)

"What was the nickname the media gave me?" (Shun)

"..." (Jack)

"..." (Shun)

"Are you sure you want to hear it?" (Jack)

"... Yes I do, it won't leave my mind until I do..." (Shun)

...

"... Rick the cutter..." (Jack)

OH GOD! It was even worse than I thought! What the fuck medias?! Who was the drunk creep who decided that?! What am I supposed to be?! Some woodcutter wrestler?! I mean I did expect a link to one of my predecessors as I lived in london, but isn't that just a total rip-off?!

...

"I'm glad I died before hearing that..." (Shun)

"I think so too yes." (Jack)

...

"Anyway! Let's get back on topic! What is this about a proposition?" (Shun)

"Ah yes, good idea! First of all let me tell you that I am the Champion of the Science god! And as a scientist and inventor this world is a box of pure wonders for me! The ideas I have in my head to mix Science and Magic keep torturing me every day! I would really, REALLY want to put them into practice, but sadly I was born into a noble family that isn't really wealthy..." (Jack)

"... I see, so in short you want me as a sponsor?" (Shun)

"That's right! I'm happy to see you are quick-witted!" (Jack)

"Jack, do you know what this world misses more than anything?" (Shun)

"... Is that a test?... If I were to say, transportation, this world is really big and have magic, yet the means of transportation is still really primitive." (Jack)

"EXACTLY! Moving around in this fucking world is a goddamn mess, and of course I need to tour this very same goddamn world to get my hand on all the cursed blades!" (Shun)

"Oh! Effectively, traveling across this world would be a real pain with the current means of transportations available, it would take years if not decades... Then I guess my proposition does interest you? Do you have some idea of what you would want me to build?" (Jack)

"I do, would you be able to build something than can fly with a lot of speed, comfortable and big enough for a lot of peoples to live inside?" (Shun)

I knew it was crazy, but I still asked him just in case.

"... I technically can. But the biggest issue would be the source of energy... Even more since you aren't even a mage. You would need a thousand of fully charged mana stones to even fly for a day... And if you want to live inside it would cost even more energy as it would need a lot a magic tools to be autonomous and keep flying without the need to land to cook or to take a bath..." (Jack)

Oh! That's a better answer than I hoped for, still, a source of energy... Oh!

"If you need a source of energy what about this... Wait a second..." (Shun)

I started to search through all the drawers inside the room.

"That's weird, since Setsuna seal contracts for selling blades in this room it should be around here... Ah! There you are!" (Shun)

What I took out of a drawer was none other than my curse crystal that was used to test those who wanted to buy one of my cursed blades as I mentioned previously.

"What do you think of this. Oh also touch it only through the cloth, if you touch it directly it’s gonna hurt like shit. " (Shun)

I handed the spherical crystal to Jack as it was still covered with a cloth. And as he uncovered it you could see stars appearing in his eyes, like a kid in front of a new toy.

"Could it be a mana stone full of your curse?! I heard about that but curses are still a mystery for me! Do you think it can replace a normal mana stone as a source of energy?" (Jack)

"I sure as hell do! I changed every mana stone inside my camera-crystals with small mana stones containing only a small amount of my curse in it and never had to change them since then. So a crystal like that which contains such an amount must be quite powerful, close to a nuclear reactor actually." (Shun)

"OOOHHHH!!! INCREDIBLE! WITH THAT I CAN DO IT! I'M SO PUMPED UP!" (Jack)

He sure look motivated at least...

"But I must need to warn you, it have some downfalls, the most obvious one is that no mana stone is able to hold it without leaking some of it, hurting the one who touches it directly. At most you can control it, making it leaking as little as possible like for this crystal, but if someone were to hold it for too long it would still kill him. The other one is less obvious as most people have little knowledge about mana and curses. Curses in term of energy would be the negative, when mana which is composed of small spirits would be the positive, they are like natural enemies and negate each other’s powers, but not only that, the small spirits who are touched by a curse turn into cursed spirits, amplifying the bad effect of a curse while reducing the energy it produces." (Shun)

"Fascinating! So mana contained in nature and our body are actually small spirits! What a discovery! It seems you are quite the scientist yourself Shun!" (Jack)

"Ahahahah! Don't joke, I'm only trying to understand my weird body. It's difficult to explain but lets just say my body has a lot of things mixed inside. Anyway, back to the topic! If you really think you’re able to build what I want, then like you want I will sponsor you, money doesn't matter, as long as you have a good reason for it I’ll give you as much as you need. Also if you need land for your workshop I have a lot of it at the north of this island." (Shun)

"Deal! Nice working with you!" (Jack)

Both of us coming to an agreement we shook hands, and that’s how I became the sponsor of a mad scientist who was going to be the one known as the biggest genius in history.

36 D/10 M/3561 Y - New-year eve.

"Setsuna, is everything ready?" (Shun)

"Almost my lord. Are thou on thy way to the conference?" (Setsuna)

"Sadly yes..." (Shun)

Today was the only national holiday of the year, the new-year’s eve, that is a little like christmas in our world, since it consists of gathering the whole family for a day and giving gifts to the youngests members of the family. But sadly as one of the most important member of this kingdom I am forced to present myself to the goddamn annual gathering, at least since I'm really far from the capital they let me attend it through the Overseeing mirror.

"I see, good luck at that my lord." (Setsuna)

Setsuna got back to her work as she was preparing for tonight’s festivity, for normal families the festivity starts since morning and finishes as the clock hits midnight. But since I have this damn reunion for the day, we decided to only celebrate at night.

I entered my study and there Eva was already working on connecting the Overseeing mirror to the one in the royal castle.

"Good job Eva, how is it going?" (Shun)

Those damn things can't be connected, only with the use of a curse stone. Even if the curse stone gives it enough energy, a High-mage is still necessary to link a mirror to another, but at least it takes less of a toll on Eva with it's help.

"Everything’s good, whenever you’re ready I will make the connection... But are you really going to attend while wearing 'that', this year too?" (Eva)

Yes, I was still wearing my usual swimming trunks and flip-flop, you can even say it became my trademark, the nobles attending the gathering last year were quite shocked from seeing me like that, everyone but Arllan who fell from his chair while laughing.

"I'm used to this. It’s almost a pain to wear clothes now..." (Shun)

Oh by the way I found my missing underwears too... Like I feared not only Eva but also Edea had quite the collection, but much to my surprise it was also the same case with Setsuna and Mysty, why would they even need that when I sleep with them every night?! And what’s also more scary than that, Skoll had one pair that he hid inside Wyndy’s chamber...

Is this house full of underwears thieves or something?!

"*Sigh* I do guess I'm a little at fault here so I won't say anything... By the way, talking about underwear... What do you think of mine?" (Eva)

Out of nowhere Eva showed me her bra by opening the front of her dress. And god, she sure grew up since she hit puberty, that's quite disturbing that I even noticed it without her showing me...

"When are you ever gonna give up! Stop doing shit like that! We're brother and sister for god’s sake and it's not gonna change anytime soon!" (Shun)

Eva fixed her dress with a smile.

"Ufufufufu, you're going to be the one to give up, a normal brother wouldn't get embarrassed from just seeing his sister in her underwear!" (Eva)

Oh shit! She's right! No way! Did she actually succeed in making me a full fledged siscon?!

"*Sigh* Let's just finish this conference and get back to the family." (Shun)

Trying to change the subject I sat on the chair that was in front of the mirror, and got ready by fixing... Oh wait I already made that joke...

"Okay!" (Eva)

She said that, but her smile didn't quit her lips... Her beautiful lips... OH SHIT! STOP RIGHT THERE IT'S A TRAP!

Anyway... As Eva started to make the connection, the mirror started to make waves inside it, as if a drop of water fell on a flat surface made of water.

And after a while the one at the castle finally answered the call and finished the connection, making a big round table appear inside it, seated near it, both the king and queen, who made a face-palm when they saw what I was wearing. My sister seeing as the connection was done and didn't have to keep feeding mana because of the curse stone, leaved the room after making a small bow to the royal couple..

"Goddamnit Shun! Couldn't you make an effort this time?!" (Sarrina)

"No way that's annoying, hello there Thomason, how the little one lately?" (Shun)

When I was talking of Thomason little one I wasn't talking about his mini-me, but about their son they had last year, the little prince, Leo Asfellana.

"Hello there Shun, he's growing fine, thank you, unlike you who didn't change in the three years I know you." (Thomason)

"Damn you Thomason didn't we said this topic was forbidden!" (Shun)

"And didn't we said you needed to wear proper clothes this year?" (Thomason)

Nice played Thomason, nice played, you sure grown some balls since you became king uh?

"*Sigh* What about your family Shun? Is Wyndy doing well?" (Sarrina)

"Sure does, the other day she blew to pieces a 'World Eater' with her breath. Since Eva started to teach her magic her breath became even scarier. After that we ate what was left of it together with the family, did you know it was actually quite the delicacy?" (Shun)

World Eater, are ridiculous strong monsters that live in the sea and look like giant serpents without eyes. They're like a mix of the Guardian of the fire and Leviathan. It was quite funny when it appeared suddenly as we were playing on the beach and Wyndy blew it with her breath as it surprised her... Note to self, never try to surprise Wyndy...

"... Well, at least she sure sounds 'healthy'..." (Sarrina)

"By the way where's Uncle Arllan?" (Shun)

"Ah yeah, about that... He said he would appear at the last minute and will try to rival you this year... I'm not really sure what he meant by that." (Thomason)

"Frankly I have quite the bad feeling about this..." (Sarrina)

"Oh come on Sarrina, don't sound so meek, where is the girl who had so much spunk when she barged into my room as I was in the nude?" (Shun)

Yeah, I just wanted to harass her to pass time as the nobles were late.

"Y-You bastard! That was an accident! I can't believe you still remember something like that!" (Sarrina)

"It was only three years ago, and how could I forget your passionate eyes as you examined every part of my body." (Shun)

"*Sigh*" (Thomason)

Thomason who was used to me teasing her wife didn't take anything I said seriously, yet it was all true...

*Knock**Knock*

Oh finally here!

"Enter!" (Sarrina)

As queen give them the green light, fives nobles entered the room, and sighed when they saw what I was wearing not taking the effort to comment on it.

Mmm? Arllan is still not here?

"Sorry to have made you wait!" (Arllan)

....

"PfffBWHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA! OH GOD!! THIS TIME IT'S YOUR WIN ARLLAN!" (Shun)

Arllan who barged into the room was currently wearing a beautiful... White one-piece dress, and a blonde wig with ringlet.

"For the love of gods..." (Sarrina)

Everyone seeing what he was wearing but me sighed in unison to our childish spar. By the way the next year I wore a bondage outfit and wrote on my chest 'Miss queen bee', It was even able to make Thomason and the other nobles laugh, only Sarrina made a scary as hell face...

"Anyway let's ignore those two fools and start the meeting." (Sarrina)

You're so cold Sarrina... Arllan even tried this hard!

"I think we should directly start by our main concern..." (Arllan)

"The tension with the east continent is it?" (Shun)

"Right..." (Arllan)

Even though the three continents made a law against slavery and thought it would improve our mutual relationship, the one we had with the west didn't change, and the one for the east worsened... But don't misunderstand it wasn't due to the law, no you can even say the law spared us from already wagging war against each other. It seems bad blood kept accumulating itself in each camps and now the beastmen were more than eager to fight us to the death.

"We absolutely need to prevent a war from happening! We finally made something that was thought to be impossible until now and made a law against slavery, but if we were to wage war now it would go back to what it was before!" (Sarrina)

As if to prove the seriousness of the situation Sarrina slammed her fist against the table.

...

"Mmm... The best way to calm the Beastmen would be to give them a better understanding of humans. The Human hate for Beastmen almost disappeared thanks to Shun’s 'love' for them, and since then people’s view on them changed slowly as they tried to understand them. Most of all the humans hate for Beastmen came due to our previous generations from the start - who directly waged war with them - that's why our view on them changed as soon as we started to think for ourselves 'are they really that different from us?'." (Thomason)

"I see, and how do you propose we do that?" (Arllan)

"Sadly I don't know yet... I'm sure we can find a way but we need time for that." (Thomason)

...

"Does anybody have a bright idea?" (Sarrina)

...

"Guess we will have to ask the clan Chieftains to buy us time until we find a way." (Shun)

For the east continent there is no King, every Clan has a Chieftain who are a member of a council who take decisions in regard to the continent and the Beastmen as a whole, decisions regarding their own clan are left to them.

"Sadly It's not that simple, a little less than half of them are eager to fight, so even if there's still the majority that thinks like us, there's no telling until when they will be able to keep the ones who want to fight waiting..." (Arrlan)

Mmm, this is starting to get annoying...

"Oh I know!" (Shun)

When I said that everyone in the room looked my way with a look of hope in their face.

"I just have to go to them, beat their ass red and make it so they never want to ever see a human ever again! I'm a genius!" (Shun)

... Oops seem like Sarrina snapped. And I was sure it was good idea... Oh shit! I still don't have any way to go there quickly! No wonder she's angry.

"YOU GODDAMN FOOL! How is that a solution?! We're trying to make them better understand humans! Not make them afraid of us!" (Sarrina)

Oh yes there was that too. Guess I got a little too hot-headed because I want this gathering to finish as soon as possible.

"*Sigh* We won't go anywhere like that, like Shun previously said before saying something ridiculous, we don't have any choice but to ask them to buy us time until we think of something... Let's close this conversation with that for the moment, if one of you has an idea while we talk of another subject don't hesitate to interrupt us." (Thomason)

After that nobody had any idea, and we kept talking about stupid things like how should we change the taxes for the year and other boring subjects I was not interested of in the least. But we also talked about Jack’s new inventions too and how to use them, at least this was interesting.

*Clack**Rrrrr*

"Teacher?" (Garaki)

Garaki slowly opened the door and looked through the gap of it before calling me.

"Please excuse me for a second." (Shun)

As I was still at the conference I excused myself, and walked to Garaki.

"Ah I'm sorry Teacher, I didn't know you were still in the middle of the meeting." (Garaki)

"Don't worry about it, did you need me for something?" (Shun)

"Yes, I came to tell you the preparation for the party was done. We shall wait for you until you finish, please take your time." (Garaki)

"*Sigh* Wouldn't that be Edea or Alice’s job?" (Shun)

Garaki looked kinda like he was struggling here, as if he was ashamed of something.

"That is... I'm sorry the truth is that Teacher Edea said that she wouldn't work anymore since you didn't pet her lately... As for miss Alice, she was running after Wyndy while holding some strange costumes... So miss Setsuna just gave up and let me do it, b-but it doesn't burden me in the least!" (Garaki)

*Sigh* Just what is wrong with the maids in this house, well actually most people in this house are crazy not only them... Just remembering the time I entered Eva’s bedroom makes me shiver!

"I understand, sorry for that Garaki, please go tell her it's soon be finished." (Shun)

He nodded and ran back to Setsuna. Now alone again in my study I sat back into my chair.

"Forgive me for that, where were we?" (Shun)

"Don't worry about it, it's true that this meeting was longer than expected." (Thomason)

Yeah you don't say! When I think I was just supposed to sell my name to them yet I have to do stupid things like a conference.

"Was that the small Rahaarna you took under your care?" (Sarrina)

"Yeah, the little guy is the most talented when it comes to my teachings, he's going to become a warrior able to rival my strength in the future, no doubt." (Shun)

"Ohhh... It sound like you really taking care of those kids and teaching them a... THAT'S IT!" (Sarrina)

Everyone made a jolt in surprise as the queen suddenly shouted out of nowhere.

"What?! What do you mean?!" (Arllan)

"I found the solution to our problem with the east continent! But I can't talk about it right now, I will speak of it with you and Thomason before deciding anything." (Sarrina)

With that timing and because she's leaving me out of it, I have a really bad feeling!

"Nonono! Say what you thought of right now! When you're planning things with uncle Arllan it's always a pain for me in the end!" (Shun)

"Now, now, don't worry about it, let's continue this meeting, your family is waiting for you." (Sarrina)

Oh shit... She's totally hiding something from me!

Sadly the meeting soon ended and I wasn't able to make her say it, I really, reaaallyyy, REAAALLYY, have a bad feeling about this.

*Sigh* Let's just get the party started!

Trying to ignore my bad feeling I walked out of the room, and walked to the dining room, where everyone was eagerly waiting for me, the kids most of all, as they were to receive gifts today like last year... But strangely Edea was pouting in a corner of the room...

"My lord, did everything go fine with thy meeting?" (Setsuna)

Setsuna who was wearing a flashy skimpy dress for the occasion, walked to me with a smile.

"Huh? Ah yes it did, there was a strange conversation in there that will most likely bite me in the ass someday, but apart from that nothing really new... By the way what's wrong with Edea?" (Shun)

"Edea? It seems she's angry because you didn't pet her for a whole week. I know thou are trying to hide it my lord, but everyone already knows about thy relationship and is not angry about it. It should be about time that thou be open about it no?" (Setsuna)

...

"Setsuna?" (Shun)

"Yes my lord?" (Setsuna)

"What the fuck are you talking about?" (Shun)

"Myself is talking about the fact that Edea is thy mistress." (Setsuna)

...

"No, like I said, what the fuck are you talking about?" (Shun)

....

"My lord... Could it be that thou don't actually sleep with Edea?!"

Said Setsuna while having a mix of shock and confusion on her face.

"Of course not! What are you talking about?!" (Shun)

Setsuna was now red in shame, it was quite the rare and cute expression on her.

"Forgive me! I was sure... Myself means... You kept patting her head affectionately, and she has thy loved beastmen ears and tail... I was sure that she was something like a mistress or at least a pet..." (Setsuna)

"Pet?! Seriously what is wrong with..." (Shun)

"EXACTLY! You said it madam Setsuna! I do wish to become his pet yet he kept refusing as if he thought I was joking! And he even ignored me for a week, when all I want was for him to at least pet me a little..." (Edea)

... What?

"My lord... This is really rude of thou to refuse a woman’s dedication in that way..." (Setsuna)

Wait what?! Is that something my wife should say?!

"Uwaaa, Dear you're the worst... Even though little Edea tried this hard..." (Mysty)

"No seriously what did I do wrong?! Are you really telling me I was wrong in trying to be faithful to you two?!" (Shun)

"What is happening here?" (Eva)

Thank god Eva came! At least she will be against this!

"That's *whisper* *whisper*..." (Mysty)

Mysty who got a lot closer to Eva since we started to all work together whispered in her ear, most likely explaining to her what's happening.

"Seriously?..." (Eva)

Yes! Now tell them how crazy they are.

"You’re the worst, big brother..." (Eva)

"What?! Not you too! Seriously what did I do wrong?!" (Shun)

Eva made a long sigh while shaking her head.

"Big brother, your denseness is your biggest issue..." (Eva)

Urgh, it was a long time since the last time someone called me that. Personally I think I'm quite quick-witted! In what way am I dense?!

"Do you really think someone here has a problem with you being unfaithful? If that was the case everyday would be quite the blood bath here... I mean you already have two wives don't you? And you also intent to obtain the other cursed blades so it's not like you intend to really stay faithful to Setsuna or Mysty don't you?" (Eva)

Damn she's right...

"So it's like you're always a bachelor even though you're married, and now there is a woman who keeps getting close to you and do everything to please you, not only that you also don't even dislike her. What you did wrong is kept refusing a woman that you are close with until she was desperate enough to ask you to be your pet!" (Eva)

"Eh?" (Edea)

"Eh?" (Eva)

"Eh?" (Mysty)

"Eh?" (Setsuna)

"EH?!" (Shun)

Edea reaction was so surprising that we kept parroting her like idiots.

"It's seems there is a misunderstanding... I never wanted to be Master lover or anything like that, what I really want to be is his pet, only that." (Edea)

"""...""" (Eva, Mysty, Setsuna)

I looked at them with reproachful eyes, since they kept misunderstanding about me and Edea, and didn't even try to better understand my situation.

"She sure looks desperate doesn't she~?" (Shun)

"Urgh!" (Eva)

Now not only Setsuna, even Mysty and Eva were red in shame.

"But now that I think about it, I'm DENSE, so maybe I'm still MISUNDERSTANDING no?" (Shun)

"""URGH!""" (Setsuna, Mysty, Eva)

Unable to handle the shame anymore they hid their red faces behind their hands.

Now you know what I feel when you keep shaming me! Back to Edea...

"But seriously Edea... What do you even mean by pet?" (Shun)

"Oh you know, I want you to pet me, cuddle me, fondle me, or kiss me plenty. Those kind of things!" (Edea)

"That sounds like a lover alright..." (Shun)

"No, I don't want you to make love to me or anything like that, I just want you to treat me as a pet, like you know spanking me when I do something bad or..." (Edea)

"I knew it! You're from the same faction as Setsuna!" (Shun)

"Papa? Why does Edea want to be your pet this much?" (Wyndy)

...

OH SHIT I FORGOT ABOUT THE KIDS!

That new-year's eve was, eventful alright... In the end it was decided that Edea would become officially my 'pet', like what the fuck?!... Well it doesn't displease me totally, to be quite honest, it's quite calming when I pet her when she rests on my knee, even though it does look a little weird as she is a little taller than me...

Setsuna also gave her one of her collars, with attached to it a little medal with her name on it...

Seriously? What is wrong with the women around me?!

Wyndy please... I beg you... Never become like these women you grew up around. Papa would hang himself if you were to bring a man home and tell me you became his pet. And before killing myself I would also destroy this world in the process by the way.

17 D/03 M/3564 Y

"So are you going to tell us what the surprise is about? You sounded quite excited about this when you received the news from your crazy scientist friend..." (Eva)

Eva who became 14 years old yesterday was walking beside me, by the way... She's now the proud holder of a E cup... Even though she still a little smaller than me, she already has quite the giant pair on her. That's troubling when talking with her as I don't know where to rest my eyes...

*Cough* Back to the topic, we're currently on a family trip with everyone going to Jack’s laboratory which is in the north-west part of my island, his parents happen too own and live in the north east part of the island west of mine, so his laboratory is between my manor and his family home.

"You're going to be quite surprised!" (Shun)

My sister gave a small sigh before talking back.

"What surprises me is that you don't show any panic when your national celebrated 19th birthday at the capital is in two weeks and yet we're still here, we will never be able to reach the capital in two weeks!" (Eva)

"Don't worry. Everything’s alright, I have a plan." (Shun)

Huhuhuhu, I really hope he did a good job with, 'that'! There’s also the result of my analyze data that interests me.

A year ago Jack created something like a body scanner, and I asked him to analyze my body as much as he could, and from the first results he obtained he was quite troubled. So since then he worked on my data and it seems he finally got the hang of something.

"WOW! It's big!" (Wyndy)

Wyndy who is now 8 years old and will be 9 in a few months is sitting next to Skol, showing amazement at the size of the laboratory, which was a cube of more than 4 km on 4km in size, and had a height of around 30 meters (100Ft~), yeah it was really impressive, when you think he build that this quickly you really realize this guy’s absurd.

As we reached the gate with our convoy of carriages, guards stopped us asking for our identity, but when they saw me they quickly asked forgiveness for their rudeness and showed us the way inside after we got out of our respective carriage.

"It's really big! Almost as impressive as dear’s one!" (Mysty)

What the hell are you comparing this building to?! You just wanted to say that at least once didn't you?!

"Teacher what is this building really for? I'm sorry but I don't really understand..." (Garaki)

Garaki who was 10 and soon to be 11 years old asked me that while being a little ashamed of himself for not knowing even that.

"Don't worry most people don't know what this building is about. Just think of it as a giant workshop where people think of new things." (Shun)

Garaki who understood the concept but was still unsure of what it was really about just answered me with a weak.

"I see..." (Garaki)

*CLAC* *RRRRRRRRRRRRR*

As the massive metal gate was opened by the guards who had to use all their strength to open it. A small boy around Wyndy’s age with a labcoat, a monocle, appeared and was surrounded by other men and women in labcoats, ran to me.

"OHHHH! Shun! I was expecting you!" (Jack)

"Hello Jack. How are you doing?" (Shun)

"MOST EXCELLENTLY! In health like in work! Everything is perfect!" (Jack)

"He's small! Is that the friend you talked about papa?" (Wyndy)

Wyndy rudely pointed out at Jack’s young age with a curious look on her face.

"That's right sweety, don't judge people by their appearance, look at Papa, doesn't he look younger than he really is?" (Shun)

"OH! Is that your daughter? Last time I visited your house I didn't had the chance to meet her! She's quite the beauty isn't she?! Almost so beautiful I would love to call you father!" (Jack)

When he said that as a joke, Garaki took him seriously and strangely came between them as if to protect Wyndy... Those two became quite close lately... Even though I warned him that if he was ever going after Wyndy he would have to pass through me...

"Don't joke about that! Having you as a son in law would be a nightmare!" (Shun)

"Ahahahah! You don't have to worry my friend, I am only interested in MILF’s either way! Now more seriously..." (Jack)

He was talking talking like he was joking around a moment ago but suddenly his voice became grave...

"I know that you are impatient to see 'it', but before that I would need to talk to you in private about 'that'." (Jack)

About the results huh?

"I understand, please everyone wait for me for a moment, we will go see what I wanted to show you after that." (Shun)

After I told them that everyone nodded back to say they understood, and Jack clapped his hand before shouting.

"CHRISTINE!" (Jack)

As he did a beautiful blonde woman in a labcoat approached.

"Yes sir?" (Christine)

"Please serve some tea to our guests, I need to show Sir Fenrik my private research for a moment. So entertain them until then." (Jack)

After replying with a short 'understood' and a small bow, she guided my family to what was most likely the cafeteria.

"Good! Now follow me, I have quite the information for you!" (Jack)

Following him as instructed we walked for a while through the giant building until reaching a door made of mithril who was guarded by a guard.

"This is my private laboratory, be ready as you're going to receive quite the shock..." (Jack)

Not saying another word after this ominous line, Jack entered his laboratory as the guard opened the door.

Inside were a lot of strange machines with digital screens, a desk whose surface was covered in papers, and another mithril door with what looked like a digital scanner on it. And it was, as Jack walked directly to it and put his hand on it.

*Clac*

With a small sound the door unlocked and Jack pushed it open, even though he told me to get ready for what was waiting for me I wasn't expecting this...

*SSHRRIIEEKKKK*

A deformed monstrous creature with a humanoid-reptilian form and blades like scales covering his body, but most of all had grey fur covering it's spine on it's back and cyan snake like eyes. Was in the room behind the door, locked up inside a cage made of glass. Who was furiously trying to escape it by clawing it with his razor sharp claws.

"What the fuck is this shit Jack?!" (Shun)

I don't know what it was, but for some reason it made me sick to look at it.

"It's you..." (Jack)

...

"...What?" (Shun)

"To be more precise it's your clone, even I didn't expect it to be like that when I made a clone with the exact same genetic code as you..." (Jack)

"You must be kidding me..." (Shun)

"Sadly no genetic code can lie. That means that something that is not in your genetic code is what let you have a human appearance. I did expect it to be strange, since you're like three different puzzles who were forced together into a single one, but still to think it would be like that." (Jack)

"*Sigh* And what did you learn from it?" (Shun)

"Ah yes, I think I know why someone forced your Dragonkin gene on you, and what they tried to do when they asked you to eat a high source of energy." (Jack)

Yes, I told him everything as this guy was my best chance of getting actual answers.

"Seriously?!" (Shun)

"Yes, like you can see this creature whom I accelerated the growth of has a splendid Dragonkin like tail. But this tail isn't like any normal tail! Did you know that some legend about Dragonkin and Ancient dragon says they are able to see the souls of the dead?" (Jack)

"No that's the first I heard of it, even though I read a lot about them..." (Shun)

"I see then let me explain, the legend said that only an adult dragonkin who finished to grow his tail or horns is able to see the dead and even command them, but it seems that legend died a long time ago as Dragonkins were enslaved and pureblood Dragonkin became rare. And I finally discovered the secret behind that legend!" (Jack)

"Oh!" (Shun)

As a good spectator I raised my voice in amazement.

"I analyzed this tail and discovered something quite troubling. This tail seems to emit weird wavelengths, it's only my theory but I think this wavelength has a strong power over souls, and it was proved true as I brought in front of the subject, a wraith. Using those wavelengths the subject tried to control the wraith to break his cage, but luckily a wraith is even weaker than the subject so it wasn't able to do anything." (Jack)

A wraith is a powerful vengeful spirit who died in a horrible way when it was alive and quitted the circle of reincarnation as warth deformed it's soul. It's considered a monster and is actually quite powerful.

"I see, so the energy I was asked to take was supposed to give me an adult tail, who in turn would let me control my own souls and change form." (Shun)

"Exactly! But it seem whatever forced the Dragonkin pureblood of your ancestor inside your body and left a remnant tail sealed in your body didn't expect at the time that Ymylfana would have also modified your body, and in result to the two modifications one screwed the other - since your curse who was sealed absorbed most of the mana you took - making you unable to obtain an adult tail." (Jack)

"Shit... And how do you think I would be able to make it grow? Should I try to eat another high source of energy?" (Shun)

"Sadly it won't work, your scale is like a bullet who misfired and lost it's black powder, even if you were to eat 10 mana stone like the one you ate at the time, it wouldn't be enough. To be more precise it's like you executed a one time program and lost it after that." (Jack)

"I see... Thanks for the job well done Jack, but please kill this thing..." (Shun)

"Ah yes don't worry that was my intent, it wouldn't live much longer anyways since it's a clone. Oh by the way I forgot to tell you but only your blood and tail is from the Dragonkin, sadly you weren't given the flame organ." (Jack)

"Is that so? Since I can't use mana I wouldn't be able to use it anyway, so it's not really a big loss." (Shun)

"Oh right! Good, I think we finished here! Let's go see something that will put you in a better mood! I hope you’re ready!" (Jack)

Yeah, you say that but I don't think anything will surprise me after seeing what my body was supposed to look like if not for something Ymylfana or the Guardians most likely did. Or so I thought...

After fetching my family who were enjoying some tea time, we walked to what was most likely a garage, and there it was...

"OH MY GOD!" (Eva)

"That's... Much more impressive than I thought it to be..." (Shun)

Everyone looked Impressed in front of this HUGE piece of metal who was 200 meters long (656ft~) and 20 meters high (65ft~)! But only me and Eva knew the true worth of this thing.

"Don't tell me it's a space cruiser?!" (Eva)

Yeah it totally looked like some cruiser you would see in a space opera. It had a long rectangular body with a lot of complex metal figures on it and had two short wings near the base of it with giant transparent crystals embedded in it.

"Impressive no? I’m quite proud of it! But sorry to say it can't go into space." (Jack)

"My lord what is that thing supposed to be?..." (Setsuna)

"Yeah. It sure looks impressive but I don't understand the use." (Mysty)

Still feeling amazed by Jack’s work I just answered them while keeping my eyes on the giant beast of metal.

"It's something like a flying home." (Shun)

""""FLYING HOME?!!!"""" (Everyone)

"Papa! It can really fly?!" (Wyndy)

"Yeah it can, at least if I believe what I was told, but I don't think he has the balls to make me come here after telling lies. By the way Jack what it's max speed?" (Shun)

"Ah about that... Sorry but I wasn't able to raise it to more than 300Km (186Mph), if I were to give it more than that you wouldn't be able to live in it." (Jack)

"Ahahah! Incredible! 300 Is much more than enough! With that I should be able to reach the capital in 2-3 days!" (Shun)

"Yes no problem there, also I made it quite comfortable to live in! There’s everything you would need! Ten small bedrooms with 4 beds, each with their own washroom, a private bedroom for the captain also with it's own luxurious bathroom, a pool, a forge, an armory, a canteen with a big functional kitchen, a garden, an alchemy and enchantment workshop, a gym and a dojo. I put everything you wished for and even more in this! And everything has modern functionality as I used custom made magic tools which use the energy from the core and so can be used by anyone!" (Jack)

"Seriously? It's even more luxurious than the royal castle! I really don't know what to say, you’re seriously amazing Jack I can't thank you enough..." (Shun)

"Now, now, I really enjoyed working on it you know! Not only that it's for my good friend and sponsor, if not for you it would have taken me decades before being able to do the work I'm doing right now! I'm the one who's thankful!" (Jack)

"Ahah, if you say that then I guess I won't say anymore. How about you show me what inside this beast?" (Shun)

"It would be my pleasure my friend!" (Jack)

Holy crap that was two longass chapters! At start it was supposed to be a big chapter, a little more bigger than average, then it became so big I decided to cut it in half in the end to make it into two average chapter, and in the end it became two BIGASS chapters as I couldn't stop writing!

PR: i feel ya man
