I laid down on my back and started waiting for Sora. She saw what I did but didn't move. She bit her lip softly. She took a deep breath and come to stand above my son. Then slowly, she lowered her waist and penetrated. She screamed once but kept going until her tight touch my waist. She stopped like that for a while, seeming to think what to do next. After a while by using her feet at the both side of me, she raised her waist up a little then slowly down. She continued like that for a while. I just looked at her to see what she does. Seeing she can't do it herself I gestured for her to stay with her waist up and when she did, started doing motion. She started to moan and scream so much that other girls came downstairs but I didn't stop I kept doing it.

After about an hour of sex Sora finally passed out on me. I asked help from others and with their help, I managed to stood up. Then I gestured for them to bring Sora and they did. When we reached at the bath, I opened the faucet and told the girls to put Sora down the ground. After they did, I started cleaning blood and white on her.

When I am done cleaning Sora I laid her down to the ground, thinking she would come to herself soon. I got out of bath and headed to the forge. There I saw an absentminded Sophie cleaning ground with rags. She flinched when she saw me. I got closer to her slowly and said “Its your turn.” She then dropped the rag in her hand down and ran up to stairs. “I am scary now, is that it?” Then I heard someone chuckle, it was Emerald. She kissed me on the lips. I looked at her eyes. “Sorry for disturbing your work.”

She shook her head. “You were waiting for me before Sora right?” I nodded. “What do you need? Is this about the weapons you intend to make for Aiko?”

“Yes. I planned the weapon itself but I don't know how to make the bullets.” She nodded and gestured me to go on. I explained what I have in mind and she listened to me.

At the end of my explanation she put her hand on her chin and thought a bit. She then looked at me. “Draw the parts of the ammunition for me, I will forge them.” I started to protest but she stopped me. “I know a good way, it will be easy, so don't worry.” I nodded and went upstairs to draw the parts.

When I went upstairs I saw Mary, Merideth, Sora and Sophie asleep. Cassie though, she was sitting at the side of the bad looking at the wall. I got closer to her but since she didn't notice me I cleared my throat. She flinched a little and turned to me slowly. “Cassie, how are you doing?”

She looked at me sadly then she stood up and came to me. “Am I ugly?” 'What?'

I pinched her cheek which made her angry. I coughed once lightly and said “Of course not. Why did you ask?”

“Because you don't kiss me like you do with the others. You kissed all of them except me. If not because I am ugly, then why?”

I sighed. I talked slowly. “Cassie, you are a child.”

She looked even angrier now. “You are a child too. They can kiss you, so why don't you kiss me?”

“Its not about physical age Cassie. Its about mental age. You are just not ready to make a decision like this. At least reliably.”

She seemed mollified for a moment. She looked at me again. “Does that mean if I grow up you will kiss me?” 'Why not?' I nodded to her. “Okay then, I will mature really fast and come to kiss you.” Here she was so adorable I nearly chuckled but since I know she is being serious I forced myself to stop doing that. “Ash. I want to do something. I have nothing to do, I am bored.”

'Well, that's to be expected.' “Do you have something in mind?”

She shook her head. “I don't know, maybe something like you do? I asked Emerald to teach me but she said she didn't want to take another apprentice.”

I nodded. “What do you think about jewelries?”

She looked confused. “What are they?”

“They are..” I looked around quickly and noticed Sophie wearing a golden earring. I motioned Cassie to come closer and pointed at the earring. “That is a jewelry. Its like blacksmithing but prettier.”

She nodded. “Do you know how to do that?”

I shook my head. “No, but I learn fast. Just wait for a few days and I will either find you an apprenticeship or teach you myself, okay?” She nodded. “Well then. Since we solved this problem you should sleep. And remember. If you have any problem, come to me. Don't be shy okay?” She nodded again and kissed me on the cheek and climbed to the bed. I smiled. I sat on the desk and started drawing.

I finished it quickly and went downstairs where master was sitting on the table. I waved at her and she waved back. “Did you draw the plans.” I nodded and put the drawings on the table. I quickly explained the scale and angle of drawings. She raised a few question about them. Some of them I answered easily but some of them.. “You will put the powder inside. Then how will you stop it from getting wet? I am pretty sure it would affect it.”

I thought about a bit trying to remember the fighting scenes on One Piece and came to conclusion that “They will fire even if they are wet. Don't ask me how, it just works that way.” She nodded reluctantly. She then took the drawings and went upstairs to sleep. That left me alone. I took out weapon part drawing and went to forge. First order of business was to create molds. After that done, I took out the ingots and molten them. Then poured a little metal to the mold. Then I repeated this for other molds too. Then I sat on a corner and started meditating.

“Kid, wake up. Your parts are ready.” I looked up and saw Emerald before me.

I smiled. “Good morning Emerald. Today is the day. How do you feel about it?”

She chuckled. “I feel like you have a job to do.” I sighed and got up. She continued “And I am curious about this new weapon. Before you ask, I will start with the bullets after breakfast.” I nodded and made my way to the molds. They seemed to be cooled down enough. I quickly broke the molds and took out the parts one by one, while inspecting them for any weakness and put them on the ground.

“They look good. “I said and started assembling the parts. After a few minutes I had a gun with finished metal parts. I still needed to carve wood for the handle but this was enough for testing. I passed it to Emerald.

She looked around it checked the weapons moving parts and magazine. She played a bit with magazine and looked at me. “How powerful do you expect for this weapon to be?”

I took a time to think. Trying to remember what I know about guns and their power. After a few seconds of thinking I said “It should be able to penetrate metal armor.” She whistled. “Its real power though in its ease of use.” I pointed at the gun. “You just point it and press the trigger and its over. Provided your target can't dodge the bullets or have to high defense for bullets to penetrate them.

She nodded and turned the gun in her hand. “How many ammunition do we need for this?”

sigh “A lot, sadly. Aiko can train her aim with bow but she needs to get used to this so, I think we will be good when we have a three hundred bullets.”

“That's really much. I believe I can make the parts fast enough but assembling them is a different story. We will need help for that.” I nodded to her and she continued. “Don't worry. I think Azzie might be able to help us with this. She knows many people. After all, she is an innkeeper.” I nodded again and we made our way to the table. Breakfast were ready we just needed to wait for the girls. I looked at Emerald to ask this but she nodded to me and sat down, so I sat down too.

In a few minutes table was full and we were eating and talking. Well, more like Mary talked and we listened. It seems she didn't stop herself from abusing her power and learned every secret of people she came in contact with. There were some simple things like nose picking or such but there was some secrets like “... they got so sick of their husbands and their inattention that they decided to deal with their on problems. Since that day, they didn't let their husbands touch them. Instead they are doing with each other. Of course men doesn't feel bad about it since they started first...” this. There was really odd things going on in this city. Some of them make me doubt my testosterone levels so much that I nearly jumped on Sophie to deal with that. It didn't work though I only made her ran away. 'Oh well.' After Sophie's departure we finished with the breakfast and started cleaning things up.

After that everyone went their jobs except Cassie who didn't have nothing to do. Seeing her I remembered the promise I made to her. After telling her what I planned she nodded and sat down on the ground to watch Emerald and Me working.

First, I found a good wood and cut it two times. Then I started to carve it. Of course, while carving, I didn't forget to make drawings around it. 'They will be awesome like me. Ehehe.' In about an hour I was done. Then I put the wood I carved on the handle and held it. It wasn't very comfortable for me since I had small hands. It didn't need to be anyway since I made this weapon for someone else. I quickly made my way towards Aiko, who was practicing her archery. She noticed, and turned to me.

She looked at the gun and smiled widely and with quick steps came in front of me. I gave her the gun and told her how to hold it. She held it and even though we didn't know how good it was she kissed me on the lips. I tried to make it to the next stage but she didn't let me. I sighed and leaving Aiko with her new toy, turned to Cassie. “Cassie lets play chess.”

She looked at me and frowned. “No. Its too boring and you take forever to play.” 'What else I can do with her?' I reached out with my hand and said. “Then lets get out and look around. Who knows we might find an adventure.” She slightly smiled and took my hand. She stood up with my help and after waving to Emerald, we were off.

We started going around aimlessly knowingly getting in alleys no one walked in and exploring abandoned buildings. While doing this, we came upon a warehouse with broken windows. We saw two people at the entrance, they were standing guard. Thinking it odd we went around them quietly and and looked inside. It was full with wooden crates. I told Cassie to wait outside and went in from one of the windows. I walked a bit and found what I was looking for. An open crate. It was filled with flintlock rifles. I left it there and headed back. Just then one of the guards got inside. I quickly hid to a shadow of one of the bigger crates. He stood and looked around for a while then he got back out. 'I hope they didn't look other side of the warehouse too.' Thinking this, I ran as fast as I can while staying quiet. I looked out the window and gave my breath. I got out of window. Took Cassie's hand and made my way towards home.

Our return was uneventful. We didn't directly went to the forge of course. We circled it a little just to be sure. After we reached home, I left Cassie there and went to find Merideth. Though I didn't really think I could find her but I can always ask Mary, which required finding her too. 'Lets try Marine Outpost.' I headed there and after a few minutes of walking I was inside. I went towards the room where they take in bounties. When I went in, there was only the Marine Officer. She looked at me and got closer. “You don't have a bounty with you right?” I shook my head. “Your friends keep turning in the bounties. At a stunning rate I must add. But since you are not here to turn in a criminal, tell me, why are you here?”

“I came to see you. Since the day I first saw you I couldn't think of anything else.” Now, here I was just messing with her. I didn't ever expected her to take this seriously.

She turned red. She then took a deep breath to steady herself and said “I believe in monogamy I won't be your who knows what numbered wife. If you want only me, you can come then.” then turned with a huff and went away, leaving me alone in the room, too shocked to move. 'What the hell! What did I do? I created a monster, but this time monster is myself.' sigh 'Whatever. They are not here.' Then I turned, giving up on finding the girls, I headed towards the forge.
