《Tale of Careless Goddess》Chapter 9: Breakfast and Stress Relief

"ARGH!"
On a morning with a combination of sunshine and childish scream, I opened my eyes. Then I saw one dark elf girl staring at me in fright, but couldn't move because of hand and leg beneath me. Looks like in her sleep, she tried to hug me.
Moving my head, I saw a high elf boy staring at me in curiosity, but looking at how tired his eyes are, it seems he wanted to sleep more than anyone else.
"You gonna wake everyone up."
"What?"
Said using my arm, I hugged them closer to my sides, making it more comfortable for me and the other two.
"Let's talk after we finished our sleep."
"Hey!"
"okayyy."
The Male closed his eyes and went back to sleep while hugging me. After some struggle, a girl also went back to sleep in a similar way as a male.
*a few hours later.*
The high elf girl standing in front of me, protecting the dark elf boy who is looking at cookie on the table so, the girl is the older, one, huh. But this kind of thing looks more convincing if they didn't continue to sleep beside me even though after they realize hugging a stranger. While I sat on the chair with sleeping can on my lap while trying to hold my smile, how cute they looked together.
"Who-who are you?!."
"Hello, I am human."
"There is no way you are human!."
"Why?"
"You are this b-b-b."
Like damage cd player, a girl stood there couldn't finish her sentence with a bright red face. Eventually, a dark elf boy helped her.
"Big sister Samson trying to say you are too big to be called human."
"Sei! what are you doing, you can't tell a stranger our name!"

Well, you also said his name.
"Samson, you said my name."
"Ah!"
I wonder how did those two didn't claim by natural selection, but they got quite a luck having used as a sacrifice in the gate, I used to appear in the real world. Sei, he got quite a feminine name for a boy while Samson is a male name as I remember correctly.
"Well, you two told me your name it would be rude of me not telling mine. My name is Lynne Mark, just as you said I am a quarter-giant."
Just like elves, there are many kinds live in this world from elf to the race of giants. For being quarter-giant is not something rare. Despite being called demi-human human empires always recruit giants but only in the army and other tasks that require more manpower. I don't know the reason, but more than a fourth of my total followers has some kind of giants.
I wonder why, indeed.
"Where are we?"
"In my room."
"No, the place."
"In the inn."
" No, what is this place called ?"
"The town."
"Hnnnn."
Seeing how Samson frustrated is I wanted to bully her more, but I decided to stop before she starts to cry. Wait, is she a girl thought ?.
"Samson, are you a girl ?"
"I am a man!"
"And are you ?"
"I am a girl."
Ah, so it is opposite, huh.
"Okay, this is Hwen town of the Clesdia empire."
After hearing my word color drained from their face. Reading their thought, I understood they abducted before they realize anything. Despite having dragged into a completely unknown place but not freaking out as expected children from another world, they have a strong will.
It seems those people who kidnapped them possess good connections and power. After their death, souls of cult members arrived before me, but after reading their memory, I found they got no information.

Fuck it I am here for my vacation I don't want other things.
"From your reaction, it is something bad. It is okay I am my way to visit Holy Empire Arcadia. I can take you two if you two promise to good children."
I chose to save them, so they are now my responsibility to deliver them to their parents. Also, everyone needs a companion on a long journey.
"Really?"
"Thank you, big lady."
After hearing my word, color returned two's face. Two thanked me with a simple bow.
"No need, now let's fix your appearance shall we."
Said used skill archive. The archive is a skill that a combination of perfect memory and memory manipulation enables me to record and stored all the memories I saw from souls.
With a mere thought, an enormous archive appeared in my conciseness with every row is marked by category and sub-category.
*Magic, Low-tier, Basic spell, Daily. Oh here it is a cleaning spell.*
With a simple flick of a finger, two child's body and rag like clothes became clean.
"Now let's eat our breakfast then, I take you two for shopping."
"Okay."
"Good morning madam Lynne."
"Good morning to you as well. Seem you got nice morning as well."
"Eh, thanks."
Holding Sei and Samson, I pushed open the door coincidently met, Kuromori and his wives leaving their room. Studying at his face that has a slight tint of red and hickey around the girl's neck. They must have done in the morning, as expected youngsters, got so much energy in the morning.
"As for we become your escort madam Lynne, first you need to visit adventure guild and place mission."
Quickly Kurogane changed the topic.
"I will do that, in the evening, you don't need to worry about that."
With said with two children, I went to the dining hall. As breakfast, we received simple soup and black bread. Now I know why Kurogane's group declined their breakfast while taking the room, soup has very few floating vegetables while bread was akin to chewing cardboard.
As someone like me who missed the taste of food for millennia, it was the worst first impression.
"Noble ?"
"Why someone like her, dinning in this place ?"
"Is she some kind of noble ?"
"I think she is not, look at children with her. She is just a prostitute who got a little bit of money."
"Yeah, look at her size. First time I saw this beautiful woman from the giant race."
I took a deep breath. Thanks to the contrast between me, two-child and our meal, I seemed like some kind of prostitute with high pay. Inside my head, I decided to put two children's clothing and our lodge in top priority.
"Kids let's go."
A group of five men surrounded us with a disgusting smile. Showing their sharp gaze while playing with their knife and blocking our exit it was perfect goon formation , but sadly due to our size difference, it came out as, I staring down to some idiots that don't know our difference.
"How much ?"
"Oh, can you afford it? "
"hehe, guys just like I said bitch like her only need money. Follow us then we can talk about your pay."
The man said while he couldn't stop staring at my body.
"Then, let's go."
Punching bag GETT!

The Good Necromancer
Hundreds of years ago, shortly after the Great Cataclysm which destroyed the Ancient World, was the Age of Heroes. One of these great heroes started off in the most hated profession of the time, Necromancer. Join him and his comrades as they accomplish the first of the Good Necromancers legendary tasks. ***** So, quick update for those who pay attention to this section. I'm finally coming out of finals for this semester, and I plan on getting the whole already posted section revised. It's taken me a while to change the necessary things, as I had to start all the way over, but I've at least got the rough drafts for all the revised chapters. These should be going up within the next week or so, still have to go to work, but I am here, I haven't forgotten or dropped the story. Just trying to make this the best work that I can produce. P.S. I will be releasing additional stories. They are all going to be in the Good Necromancer world, however the others will give you an idea on how humans in other locations survived and have thrived. Or not. =)
8 177So You Don't Want To Be Evil?
If anyone asked Eric if he hated his life or not, he would definitely state that yes, he did indeed hate his life. He was the kind of person who much preferred to stay in their room all day, daydreaming about all the fantastic lives he could be living, rather than the terrible one he's living now. Luckily for Eric, such an opportunity presents itself one night, on his eighteenth birthday. Dropped into the fantasy world of Allaria, Eric finds that he now has a second shot at living the life he dreams of. Unfortunately, not only does he have no idea what he's doing, but he soon comes to realize that this new world doesn't particularly care about him at all, and that there are many people out in this new world that aren't exactly the most fantastic bunch of folks. After being forced into working for a group of ragtag outcasts with questionable morals, Eric finds that life in this fantasy world is a whole lot more work than he originally thought.
