Chapter 76: New priorities
Another two months have passed, Ghislaine and Roxy gave birth without any complications.
Ghislaine's baby was born first and Roxy's a month later.
From Roxy was born a girl with blue hair and brown eyes, at first glance she looks normal, so I chose to call her Romira, Roxy liked the name so it's okay.
From Ghislaine was born a boy with cat ears and dark skin, I named him Reinolds.
Two beautiful babies who are my children... sometimes it is hard to process that I am barely fifteen years old and I am already the father of two, and by the attitudes of Eris and Nina in bed I guess they will soon be four...
Other than that there has been no news, the number of wandering swordsmen who come to challenge me has decreased considerably in this last month.
I guess people have already realized my true abilities, which is good!
Even life as a Sword God isn't as difficult as I thought, I just have to sit on a cushion and watch the saints train.
I guess for many it may sound boring I can even see why Gull He got bored of this life, honestly I will get bored too as time goes by but for now all that's left is to enjoy it!
Nina and Eris spend their days training the Water God style with Isolte, Roxy and Ghislaine stay home taking care of the children.
It is worth noting that Ghislaine partially stopped training even before she was pregnant, and now with Reinolds she only does morning swings and dedicates the rest of her day to taking care of our son.
I suppose she will retire from life as a swordswoman? I hope not, but it is not something that is up to me to decide.
And I almost forgot to mention that Eris recently finished her training with Aubert and can now call herself a north saint!
In short, life has been good, very good to me.
I know many may take this as a red flag and that's why I've taken my precautions, when Reinols was born, I contacted Orsted, but the bastard was on another continent So I have no choice but to wait until now to be able to talk to him.
Which is what I'm going to do right now, In the morning he contacted me about the tablet he gave to me, Rudeus, telling me to meet him on the outskirts of the sacred land of the sword.
Obviously I would have to go alone, unless I want this to turn into a war zone.
So with that in mind I simply got up from my cushion and walked out of the dojo towards my house.
"Keep training" was what I said to the sword saints before I left.
...
I left through this part so that Eris wouldn't see that I left, knowing that she would want to come with me.
So I took the long way around and entered my house.
"Oh, dear, are you looking for something?" Ghislaine asked.
She was sitting on the couch while breastfeeding Reinolds.
She looked relaxed and that made me happy.
"Nothing, I'll just go out for a moment, and Roxy?" I asked.
"He's making lunch, Romira is asleep" she replied
"Thanks, I'll be back for lunch" I said and left the house
And if you're wondering, I've also drunk from Ghislaine's breasts and I don't regret it.
I left the house through the front door and headed quickly towards the village, practically the entire place already knew that I was the Sword God and I went out much more often than Gull, so I don't attract much attention.
...
I passed through the village without stopping until I left there and stopped in the forest.
I took out my communication ring and sent a signal to tell Orsted my location.
I stood there waiting for a few moments until a silver-haired man in a white fur coat appeared from the trees.
Orsted's silhouette demanded respect, but this was a meeting between world powers so he would not falter!
Orsted looked at me and walked towards me until he stopped about two meters away from me.
"I'm here, what do you need?" he asked.
"First of all, it's been a long time, Mr. Orsted! This is the second time we've met," I said.
"Yes, I usually meet more with Rudeus" he replied.
"Ok, well, I want to make a request to you sir" I said and Orsted just looked at me with his typical scary face.
"What do you need? If it is in my power I can help you" he replied.
"My children have just been born, and as I recall, Hitogami mentioned that a woman's fate becomes weak when she is pregnant right?" I muttered.
Orsted's eyebrows twitched slightly but then he nodded.
"Yes, it's true" he said.
"Well, my other two wives also want to have children with me...the point is, if you could give me something to ensure the safety of my family?..." I asked.
"I see, what you need is a guardian beast, if that's understandable," he muttered to himself.
"Very well, thank you very much, is there a process for me to get one?" I asked, feigning ignorance.
"It's not complicated, you just need a summoning circle, I'll make one for you, tomorrow we'll meet here again" he said in a monotonous tone.
"Very well, and thank you very much for your help sir" I said bowing.
Orsted nodded in agreement and disappeared back into the forest, so I quickly returned to the central dojo.
Fortunately, neither Eris nor Nina noticed that I left, so I returned to my place as if nothing had happened.
Ghislaine for her part did not ask where I went and Roxy was only focused on her food, it was good.
...
The next day I got up before the sun came up and with the excuse of going for a jog, I went back to the forest where I called Orsted again.
As it was night, I made a bonfire with fire magic and created some seats with earth magic so we could talk.
"something early in the morning" he Said
"Yes, sorry, I usually get up at this time" I replied.
"Never mind, here's what I promised," he said as he reached into his coat and pulled out a piece of paper.
"This is it?" I asked taking the paper.
"Yeah, it's simple, just lay it on the ground, pump mana into it while thinking of some strong animal to protect your family and that's it" Orsted replied bored.
"Okay, thank you very much, if you need me to do any mission for you now don't hesitate to tell me" I said.
"Not at the moment, Rudeus is taking care of that for now" he replied.
Haha I see, poor boy, he's taking all the load haha!
"Answer me something Gino Britzs, is it true what you said that day? Are you reincarnated?" Orsted asked looking me in the eyes.
"Hey, yeah, one day I died in my world and in the blink of an eye I woke up in the body of a baby...this body" I said touching my chest
"I see, that makes sense, did you know that your counterpart was also destined to be the Sword God?" Orsted asked.
"...I see, that's a relief" I replied.
"Something like that, but the difference is that it wasn't supposed to be so soon, I always knew that Gino Britzs had immense potential, greater than Millis" Orsted said
"M-more than Millis?...was he a swordsman?..." I asked in shock
"Yes, he was the most powerful swordsman in history, his legends are true, but with your current power and age, I don't doubt that you can become stronger than him." Orsted said and stood up from the seat I made
"I see... thanks for telling me" I said feeling a smile forming on my face.
"It doesn't matter, hmm?...we have company" Orsted said as he looked to the side in the forest.
"Hmm? Company?" I muttered confusedly looking in the same direction as Orsted.
Without warning, a long sword of light shot towards Orsted at full speed, but the guy simply blocked it with one hand.
The bonfire wasn't big and the sun hadn't come up yet so I couldn't see who it was.
"It seems that one of your wives found us" Orsted said and immediately a red blur jumped in front of me, standing between me and Orsted.
"Gino ruuuun!! I'll distract him!!" It was Eris and she shouted loudly as she got into an attack position
Orsted just looked at me with a raised eyebrow, not even looking at Eris.
"Eris wait it's not what you think!!" I said as I stood in front of her.
"It's not what I think?!! Do you even know who he is? This bastard is the Dragon God!!" Eris screamed as she struggled with me.
"Yes, I know who it is! It's an ally!" I said as I took his sword away.
Eris remained silent as she looked at me and then looked at Orsted and frowned terribly.
"An ally?...This monster is your ally!?..." Eris muttered angrily.
"Yes, yes it is, go back home and I will explain it to you later" I said looking into her eyes.
Eris looked into my eyes and then looked at Orsted with obvious resentment.
"Okay, but I won't leave. If you have to talk about something, I'll be here with you," she said as she crossed her arms and separated her legs slightly in her typical pose.
"..." I looked at Orsted and he nodded.
"It's okay, he'll just help me protect them" I said.
"Protect us?! I don't need protection!!" She shouted indignantly.
"Ha...yes, I'm sorry, if you let me explain everything, you'll understand" I muttered but that seemed to make her angrier.
I could only sigh at this.
"Okay Gino Britzs, I'll see you later, I'll leave you" Orsted said and without waiting for me to respond, the guy disappeared into the forest.
Fucking stupid lizard! He made a tactical retreat!!
I looked at Eris and she had tears in her eyes as she looked at me.
"hmmm dear I..."
(Slap!!)
She slapped me hard, leaving a red mark from her hand all over my cheek.
"Hey! And why is that? Hmm!"
I couldn't even finish complaining when she kissed me hard, after so much time she is a bit dumb to kiss, just imagine that our teeth came together, it's painful.
"Y-you...you're an idiot!...Y-you don't know how scared I was!!" She screamed and started crying.
So I just hugged her to let her vent, I don't blame her.
The girl obviously has resentment towards Orsted and seeing me with him must have unlocked horrible memories in her, so I'll let it slide, just this once!
"You are an ally of that monster?!! Do you even know what it is capable of?!" Eris said with evident desperation
"shhhh...calm down, I'll explain everything okay?..." I murmured and then kissed her softly.
"...o-okay, you'll tell me everything!!" She demanded as she took her sword.
So we returned home while I thought about what kind of animal I could summon.
