Chapter 88 - The Babies' Condition
Why was I so easily tell others that I came from the future?
It's for my own sake.
I told people I think I can trust so that they will help me prevent the danger that will come. Then if possible, I will left everything to them and hopefully, not getting myself involved with the cult.
But I don't think that's possible since the Evil God Cult's influence is widespread around the world.
That's why by leaving everything to other people, I hope at least I and the people I care about have enough time to get strong enough to protect themselves.
If I tried to take all of the responsibilities as the person who knows, I won't have enough time to get stronger. And I might end up risking the whole world if I did it poorly.
Because of all the knowledge that I've learnt from both my past life and present life, I know that I'm not smart enough, strong enough, and rich enough to take care of everything alone. That's why I need to have some help.
And I'm not someone who is too shy or proud to ask for anyone's help. And I'm proud of being shameless enough to ask for help.
And this time, I'm asking for help from the king himself.
I was just trying to get someone in high position to help taking care of the cult, but when I came here, I see a patient instead.
And as a doctor, I can't ignore someone in pain… even if that's someone is still a fetus.
"Your majesty, I will now tell you about your condition."
I said that in my serious tone. Not using helium to alter my voice. And now that I've turned serious, the king who has listened about it also has serious expression on his face.
"Why are your voice changing? And since it looks like you two have been getting along well in such a short time, you can call me Marie."
"Marie! You can't trust someone you just met!"
"But Albert said that he has never once spoke any lies. Other than his own name."
The king's sister, Shirley, protested to the queen that she must not trust me especially only on the first time meeting. But the queen said she trust me because she trust Albert who knows if I said a lie.
"I don't mind you all finding about my identity, but I don't want a certain party knows who I am. That's why I apologize for disguising myself."
"Evil God Cult, huh? And you said you returned to the past? Although I still can't believe it, since my brother hasn't detect any lies coming from you, I'll trust you for now."
"Thank you, your highness."

"Just call me Shirley. Although I haven't trust you yet, since my brother trusted you, you can call me by my name. But once you spoke any lies, I'll kill you."
"Thank you, Shirley."
Somehow, I ended up getting close with the three royalties.
Shirley is 17 years old now. 2 years older than I am.
Similar to the current king, she's now active as a hunter. Although Albert back then only became a hunter to gain more experiences.
In my past life, Shirley continue being a hunter even until the day I died. She became a hunter so she can live independently in the future. She doesn't want to be tied up with the royalties and be used as political tool.
Although I don't think Albert will ever use his family members as a political tool, it's different from the other aristocrats who has their own plans.
But I have more important matter to inform them right now.
"It's about your babies."
"You mean baby, right? How could you made a mistake already?"
"Shut up, Shirley! He's not lying!"
"But… he said babies! Even the doctors already said that… there's only… one heartbeat?"
Marie realized something quickly. She started to rub her belly. And Albert put her in his embrace.
"…I know that something is weird. My stomach grown too big for just one baby."
"Marie, let's listen more to what Ninja says. He's a doctor and he has a see-through vision. And he's not lying."
"…okay. Please continue."
Marie gave me permission to speak. And at this time, Shirley already shocked with tears in her eyes and she covered her mouth with her hands.
Of course anyone would be surprised. After all, it's impossible for anyone to found out that the queen is pregnant with twins when no one can see-through her belly.
"Yes, you are pregnant with twins. One of the twins is a boy. And he's quite healthy. The other one is a girl. Her heart isn't beating."
"Does that mean she died?" Marie asked with tears in her eyes,
"No. Dead fetus, in case of twins, it would not grow as it is. She's grown big together with the boy. Which means even though her heart is not beating, she's still continue to grows. This is the case of when your fetus need some special condition to be alive when you delivered them. If you fail to do it, the baby will be really die after you delivered it, and then you will be the one who pay the price. Your body might be deteriorating, or your magic, and in your case, it should be mental health. Your mind isn't clear, you'll get more and more timid, anxious when you're leaving your room. Although I don't know if that's what happened in my previous live because I never see you back then. At least from the rumor, you are physically fine, and your magic is not weakening, so I thought it should be your mental health."
"Ninja, you said that the fetus need a special condition to be alive, right? What is it?" Marie asked.
"There was a case in my past live about this as well. Although it was not a twin, she's the first who managed to deliver the baby just fine. Then all the doctors around the world started to do some research about this. Then they found the answer. The pregnant woman, continued cultivating her magic even in her pregnancy. Then most of the magic that was absorbed from the magic stones, entered the womb. That was how the baby gained wind element even though she was just born. This happened around ten years from now."
"So, does that mean I should cultivate? But the doctor said I have to refrain from cultivating."

"They are right. It was because normal babies would suffer when the mother is cultivating. That was why it was a taboo for pregnant women to cultivate. Because the babies would end up died before they are born. And in your case, you have a twin. One is a normal baby, and the other need special care."
"Does that mean I have to give up on one of them?! No! I'd rather die than give up one of my babies! Why did you have to tell me about it?!" Marie shouted angrily.
"If I didn't tell you, your baby will be the one who suffers the most. She has a chance to be more powerful than anyone else, but she won't be able to show the world if she died. I have a way to let you deliver both babies, but there's a possibility that it might fail since there are almost no known similar cases like this after that one from ten years in the future. And you're the only one who have a twins with one fetus needed special treatment. This will be the first experiment ever in the whole whorld so will you accept it? I'll let you discuss it with Albert but I'm in a hurry so I want you to make a decision right away."
I let the two of them discuss about the whole experiment while I took another paper and wrote something.
Shirley doesn't know what to do since the decision about the babies need to be made by the parent. So she peeked at what I'm writing. She was so shocked to see what it is.
She asked me about what I wrote but I said I'll tell everyone whether Marie will decide to go with the experiment or not.
"We decided to try it. I won't let either of them died."
"Albert?" I asked Albert.
"Marie is the boss at home. I'll support her decision."
"Fine. Now, what's Marie's element that either anyone here has?"
"Hmm? It's ice element. Shirley has it." Marie answered honestly.
"Good. Do you have an ice element magic stone with you?"
"There are some here. I never used them after I got pregnant."
"Alright. You know about one for two cultivation method, right?" I asked them.
"It's when one magic stone is used to cultivate by two mages at the same time."
Marie answered correctly.
"Right. It's similar to that. I want Marie to cultivate normally, and Shirley to channel the mana during cultivation into the girl fetus. But I need to teach you about magic control first."
I taught the three of them about magic control like how I taught Kayla and the others.
Then I gave Albert the paper I just wrote. It's about practicing magic control.
"Having magic control make you able to use minimum amount of mana to cast more powerful magic. But it also help in channeling your magic during your cultivation into a certain part of the body. It was used when someone got a curse in his right arm that made him unable to cultivate and improve his magic. Then when he cultivating, he make sure that the mana spread won't enter his right hand. He succeeded. After that case was known, most pregnant women who were a mage, would cultivate without letting the magic spread in their body entered the womb.
If Marie has a good control, she might be able to do it on her own. But time is limited. Her due date should be around 6-7 weeks. That's why we need someone with the same element as her to help. Shirley, can you do it?"
I asked Shirley who listened closely.
"I can! I will do it!"
"Good. Then let's do it now. If there's a chance of failure, we'll stop the experiment right away."
And so, Marie started cultivating and Shirley helped channeling the mana inside Marie's body into the baby. I helped them to point where the baby is. And Albert watched us worriedly.
Chapter 89 - More Confused About Aura
"WOOHOOO! We did it!"
I yelled happily when the experiment was a success. Although we don't know yet if both babies will be delivered safely, at least with this, Marie will have a chance to deliver both babies safely.
"Why are you the one so surprised? Isn't this your plan?" asked Albert with a huge smile on his face.
"You two are the one who's being too excited! It was us girls who worked hard, you know?" said Shirley.
"Now that you have experienced it, I want you two to do it more until the due date. Hopefully both babies will be fine. Now, do you have anyone you can trust with delivering both babies?" I asked Albert.
"Hmm… you're right. Everyone already knows that Marie is pregnant with just a child. If she suddenly gave birth to two babies, it will give everyone a shock. Even more if they know that someone is actually use Marie as an experiment."
"You gave me the permission to do it, so you're an accomplish."
I replied to Albert's remark.
"How about you do it?"
"Me?! I'm busy and I need to return to where I came from. Maybe if Marie hasn't gave birth in a month, I can return. But I make no promises."
"That's fine. Then please come in a month whether she has given birth to the babies or not."
I nodded to Albert's request to help delivering the babies next month.
"Then, I'll take my leave."
"How? Your scream should have alerted the guards. Some of them should be here anytime soon." said Albert.
"That's okay. As long as we're indoor, I can defeat most of the guards."
"You're trying to kill my guards? Just jump out of the window or something!"
"Well, I will only kill those with explosives inside their mouth. You don't mind, right?"
I asked permission from Albert to kill. But seems like he won't give it.
"…don't kill anyone. At least not yet. Let them live. I'll take care of everything. Isn't that what you want? As for Tim, I'll just tell everyone that you trespass the king's chamber to kill him because of personal vendetta. You will be labeled as criminal. But it should be fine since you're in disguise, right?"
"If that's what you want. Then, I'll take my leave. See you next month. And don't forget to cultivate."
After reminding Marie and Shirley to cultivate, I left the chamber via the window.
I left the capital quickly as I saw the guards entered the king's chamber with my Divine Vision.

I entered the forest where I camped. Then Victoria leave my body and transformed into her human form.
"That was surprising! To hear that the queen's baby has that kind of condition. Even more, most of the thing you practiced since yesterday were all useless! Why did you have to practice if you ended up adlibbing?"
"More importantly, what do you think about the king's lie detector skill? Is he an aura user?"
How could anyone has a special ability like aura user without awakening their aura?
"I don't know much, but…"
"I don't know much, you don't know much, Sonia doesn't know much. Actually, how much was known about aura in the first place?"
"…who knows? I don't."
"I know you don't, but you can continue."
"You don't have to stop me in the first place if you just want to complain…"
Victoria then tells me about a rumor she doesn't know much about in the past.
Back when she was still alive, she heard a rumor about continuing special abilities after the owner's death. It was so that the future generation of the aura user can have multiple special abilities.
Victoria thought that Albert should be a descendant of an aura user.
"I might be wrong, but who knows if someone actually succeeded in doing it?"
"Yeah, who knows? I bet you don't. Do you think that Albert can be an aura user as well?"
"…who knows? I don't."
"Yeah, right…"
What the hell? I thought having an aura and that's that. Then I learned that I can have a special ability. Then I learned that special ability can develop. Then again, there's a possibilities of special abilities being inherited by future generation.
And I still can't see the full potential of aura!
Who should I ask? Most aura user are all dead. There's one who died and became a monster, and another one who died and become a ghost.
Cana I met another aura user or former aura user again in the future?
I hope whoever or whatever they are, they will know more about aura usage.
First I have to ask Sonia about it first, shouldn't I? Maybe she knows more than Victoria. And since she also has many lovers, she should be able to get more information from her lovers than Victoria who stayed single.
"I'll go sleep now. We'll be returning to Cassau tomorrow morning. Transform into a bed."
"You know what? I think I'm the one who slept with you the most without ever having sex. Although you never had sex with anyone yet."
"You want me to have sex with you? Here? In the wild?"
"…no thanks. The atmosphere also need to be right. And we're not a lover yet so not now. But I want to ask you something. Why you have never lay a hand on your lovers? Even though Sophie would always sleep with you?" Victoria asked.

"Well, although I'm in my fifteen years old self, my mentality is that of an adult. That's why I can endure it. But in my past life… I'm a regular customer at a cheap brothel. I haven't had sex with either with Kayla and Sophie yet because I know that their feeling is less of a love and more of a dependence. They are confused one with the other."
That's right. Kayla depend on me because I saved her on our first encounter. And when she confessed to me, it was so casual. I felt her sincere feeling, but it was not totally the feeling of love of a woman toward a man. More like she feels like she can rely on me. That's why I know she's not ready yet for a physical relationship.
As for Sophie, she also rely on me. Although I can feel more love from her than from Kayla. But I feel like if I end up having sex with her, she will start to think of me similar to her clients. Men who only wants her for her body. That's why I haven't lay my hand on her yet. Both of them need some time.
"Then why did you accepted their confession? You can just reject them you know?" asked Victoria.
"…when I heard from Kayla that I can freely build a harem for myself, I just have to accept her."
"Why?"
"It's most men's dream to have a harem! That's why! Then what about your confession?"
"Me? You're just my type. That's all."
"See? I have two girlfriends and one on the way. But their feeling of love aren't the kind of love between man and woman. Does that mean I have to be in physical relationship with them even though they still don't understand their own affection toward me is that of a reliance?"
"I think sex should only happen when two parties have mutual agreement. Whether it's love or prostitution, both parties need to be consent. Now that you mentioned it, I think you're right that you haven't lay a hand on the girls yet."
"Yeah. The most we have done as a lover is just kissing. And sleeping together."
Victoria seems to be pondering about something.
"Then why would they hurriedly confessed to you when they haven't figure out their own feeling?"
"Who knows? I don't. Aren't you supposed to know since you're also a girl?"
"Don't forget that I'm an over a thousand years old granny as well. I don't know what's in the mind of kids their age."
"But you have a fellow disciple who's getting lovers… or more like collecting lovers."
"…she's a rare case. I could never tell what's on her mind."
"Do you think that now she's dead, she's changed?"
"I don't think she will seduce people anymore since she's afraid of you killing her because she values her life… her ghost life… her existence? Well, unless she found an extremely good looking ghost I hope."
Then we continued chatting pointless topic until I fell asleep.
"Huhuhu… looking at your cute sleeping face is why you're my type."
I couldn't hear what Victoria said as my consciousness disappear and I entered a dream realm.
I woke up the next morning and prepared to return to Cassau after breakfast.
No. I need to call it home soon. After I return to Melk, I will get Daniel and the others to move to our new house. Daniel would be happy.
"Alright, Victoria… I mean Blobby. Let's go home."
I hope the king and the queen are doing fine. He has a lot of things that he needed to take care and I just added more works for him. It's better than having the kingdom betrayed by its own people.
Chapter 90 - Ridiculously Easy Rescue
It has been a two days since I left the capital. The king should be busy right now looking for the criminal who killed his secret guardian.
Well, the king should be fine. It was the guards and other people who should be busy looking for 'Ninja'. The king will make it as if Tim died because of personal vendetta.
Even so, the guards and the court will still be busy after knowing that there's someone who can trespass the palace easily. And if my guess is right, Albert should be finding people he can trust and eliminating traitors. He used this chance while the palace is busy to eliminate the traitors at the same time.
As for Marie, she should be resting. I also gave her a note about healthy nutritious food she can eat and good for both babies. Shirley should be helping her. Taking care of her needs. At least until they found someone they can trust.
The king trust me so easily just because I never lied. Then just because of that, both his sister and his wife trust me as well. How can anyone be so trusting just like that?
Oh wait! I also trust Kayla and Angela after talking and hunting together for a few times. But I don't have any lie detecting skill, which means I'm stupider than the king who trust me because he can detect lies.
Let's see everyone whom I have told about the future.
First it was Victoria. She's my partner so I think she's fine.
Then Angela and Kayla. Angela used to be extremely hostile to the cult. But that was after a stampede in Melk. At the moment, she's just a magic nerd teenage girl. As for Kayla, She should be dead if I never met her. Other than me, she hates all men.
After them, it was Sophie. I told her after she said she wants to join our party. Sometime I forgot that she was a prostitute. That means she had a lot of connection with various people who were her clients. Who knows if she has met anyone from the cult? I was so stupid to tell them my secret even though it hasn't been long since we met.
No matter how close I thought we were, I don't think we're close enough to actually tell them something so important.
But who cares if I ended up having a harem?
Harem with girls who actually doesn't know their own feelings… yet.
I'll take my time getting closer to them.
Next is Lina. I don't know if Sam realize that I'm from the future, but Lina knows. But she's a weird one. She's a maid with daddy issue who loves to be praised by me. As for Sam, as long as I gave her more profit, I don't think she will care if I am from the future or even from the moon.
After them, it was the king. Then the queen and king's sister.
It's too late to regret telling them about my secret. Maybe in the future I will continue to tell someone else about my secret. Then it might spread to the cult one day and get me killed.
Whatever the case, I'll take care of it one by one in the future. If I can't then I just need to run away.
Now I can see Cassau. I can finally go home.
That's what I thought at first. I tried to use Divine Vision on the city to check on them but I can't find them! Other than Sam who's still in the city, no one else was there!
Then I remembered about the party that got caved in. Maybe they're over there at the dungeon.
Since I was hurried to go home, it was still afternoon when we reached the dungeon.
The Sexiest Game Of 2023! Not For Kids
ad
I no longer needed Divine Vision to see them because they are clearly over here, trying to clear up the rubbles.
Maybe they thought since no one's willing to help Ellen's party, they will do it themselves. And they tried to clear the rubbles hoping that they can reach the party.
"Dig more! Kayla, dig more! This can also be used as a practice for earth element magic!"
"We're trying to rescue people, Angela. We're not practicing. We're rescuing people!"
"But we can do both at the same time!"
I can see that Angela and Kayla both are digging little by little using their earth magic. They should have just dug for about 10 meters deep. But the fact that they haven't found Ellen's party meant that her party is much deeper.
I looked below the ground and see that Ellen's party is right under the area where Angela and Kayla dug up. But they need to dig 20 more meters before they can rescue Ellen's party.
I can see Lina is here as well. She doesn't do much, but her summon, Sunny, used her vine tentacles to carry the rubbles and help digging. Sophie is next to Lina watching because she's not much of help with her magic.
I can also see that several area nearby have been dug by other people. They are most likely digging for treasures.
Ever since the dungeon was destroyed, many monsters are died. And since the dungeon is collapsed, it was impossible for new monsters to spawn. And so, the dungeon's life is over just a few days after being found. How stupid.
All the treasures were still there so many people tries their luck by digging up from right above the dungeon. And I think some of them succeeded since I can see several opened chests. But there are still a lot more underground.
The funniest part was that the first party to enter the unexplored area after us can't enjoy any of the treasures. In fact, it was their fault that the dungeon is destroyed.
They refused to practice magic control and tried to monopolize the dungeon. But they got caved in instead. Now they have no choice but to rely on the people they rejected before. And no one else is willing to help them. Except for that loud girl I suppose. Since she hasn't manifested her magic, bringing her here would only be a burden.
I approached Lina and Sophie who were watching on Kayla and Angela working.
"Hey, yo! Been a while, huh?"
"Hmm? Roy! You've returned!"
"Master! Welcome home!"
"This is not our home though… whatever. I'm home."
I asked the situation to the two. And their answer is as I expected. No one is helping Ellen's party other than us. And Angela and Kayla both trying to dig until they reached Ellen's party.
"I guess I should help. But how?"
"What do you mean how?! We thought to delay their death because we trust you to be able to rescue them! Don't tell me you don't have a plan?!"
Victoria suddenly spoke. She hasn't been appearing all day today, and she wanted to help rescuing Ellen's party. Maybe she wanted the reward offered by Ellen.
"By the way, where's the hole you entered through before?"
"It was… around that part. Don't you have any plan to help them?"
Victoria pointed to a hole I can see a bit away from where Angela and Kayla are digging.
"I have a plan but… it involve me digging barehanded. What should I do if my nails broke?!"

"That's the least of your problem!"
Victoria shouted so loud that Kayla and Angela noticed us here. They stopped digging as soon as they saw us.
"Ah! Roy is here!" It was Kayla who noticed us first.
"Roy! Come get them out of here!"
"Master said he can't have his nails broken. Please wait until Master found another plan to get them out of here."
It was Lina who replied Angela. She already know that I'm thinking of another plan? What an amazing maid!
"Forget about your nails! You almost got your arm cut and you perform a surgery on your own so you can reattach it, but you're worried about your nails?!"
"It was a dead or alive situation back then. Don't you think if you asked anyone who has dug the nearby area to help you can rescue them faster?"
"…seems like Ellen's party is quite hated."
"…Victoria. Enter the hole and cover the people under here with your body. Make it into a ball just big enough for them to enter."
"What are you trying to do?"
Victoria asked me but I didn't answer her.
"Angela, Kayla. Both of you were holding back your magic because you're afraid in case they got buried, right? If Victoria covered them all, you won't have to worry about that. Now, go all out!"
They went all out now knowing that Ellen's party will be safe.
Before, they were only digging up little by little. Now they're digging up to more than one meters hole in one go. Their mastery of magic control are superb.
The ground was unstable for a while because the area where Ellen's party was is hollow and more rubles falling down. But Angela and Kayla able to balance themselves after a while.
I see-through inside of Victoball (Victoria Ball) and see that Ellen's party is fighting among themselves. Somehow, they are targeting Ellen. There's one old lady there trying to stop their fighting to no avail. Is she the S-ranked hunter?
"It's funny how none of you thought about this. If only you did this on the first day, I can stay at the capital longer you know?"
"What happened at the capital?" Sophie asked.
"I'll tell you later. Hmm? They have dug enough and can see Victoria. I'll pull them out."
The Victoball suddenly has a handle on the side that appear after being dug. I pulled it out with all my strength and the ball was thrown into the air.
The ground now sinking because of it so I grabbed Kayla and Angela who are still nearby and jumped out of the hole.
"This is the most ridiculous rescue mission in the world…"
I said to myself.
Kayla should be smart enough to think of this, but she didn't. In fact, she choose to rely on me too much so she only think of letting them survive until I returned.
I thought I already taught her almost everything, but I forgot to teach her how to be independence, huh?
Chapter 91 - Terrible Party
"…somehow I never thought of this plan at all."
Kayla said while looking at the giant Victoball opened and the people inside are out.
"I think you can be a good leader, but it was because we're too close with Roy that we ended up always thinking of relying on him. We need to improve ourselves so we can be independent from him."
Angela is right. They are too much relying on me. I thought that I had taught Kayla many things, but I forgot one important thing. Being independence and stop relying on me too much.
It's fine to rely on me or anyone, but if they rely too much on another people, she will end up unable to do things that she should be able to do on her own. Maybe I should left them on their own more often.
It's good that Angela noticed it early.
While Kayla and Angela are thinking of how easy things could have gone had they be a little smarter and less reliant to me, Ellen's party is fighting among themselves.
"It was your fault! You should have known to not use powerful magic inside an enclosed space! You even did it knowing that underneath us are hollow area!"
"My fault? If it wasn't for me, the monsters would have killed all of us! Then it was you who emptied our food supply! They were supposed to be enough to last for a week and you emptied them in one day!"
"I told you guys that we shouldn't have enter the dungeon! I agree with Ellen to practice this so-called magic control and you refused it! Both of you were too hurried when you heard about the unexplored area and you choose to blindly enter!"
Here is the situation. There are five members in Ellen's party. Ellen, an old lady, someone else, someone else II, and the third someone else. I haven't heard their names and I don't care either.
Someone else is blaming someone else II for destroying the dungeon. The third someone else actually agree with Ellen to have Kayla and Angela helped them in the first place, but knowing that they're here instead of practicing, the other three must be the one who choose to enter the dungeon right away.
2 versus 3. So the 3 win.
That mean Ellen and the third someone else against the old lady, someone else, and someone else II.
Now that they're out, the blaming game begin. I don't think they can stay as a party anymore. Aren't they the one who saved loud girl's village? The loud girl would be sad knowing the party disbanded.
The old lady tried to stop the fight while Ellen ignored them. She's just happy to be out after almost a week without sunlight.
"Alright, they have been rescued. Now let's go home. I haven't been able to sleep indoor at all since I left for the capital."
"Oh, right! Did you buy souvenirs?" Angela asked.
"Nope. Since I thought you girls are trying to help Ellen's party, I thought to hurry up and return. Let's go home instead of watching them fight. No matter how long we waited for them, they won't say any thanks to us for helping them."
"Okay then. Ellen! We're going back now!" Angela shouted.
"Wait, no!"
Thanks to Angela, now the attention of Ellen's party turned toward us. The old lady who tried to stop the fight also turned her head toward us.
"You! You should have done this in the first place! If only you didn't take too long to rescue us! Then why did you put us in a small space! We got bruises from being thrown inside that small ball!"
Shit. This is the part that I hate.
Just like back in the past a patient come to me when I was a doctor in a small clinic. His arm was terribly infected by a disease and I had to amputate it. Then he blame me for being unable to heal him. If I didn't cut his arm, he would die once the disease will spread. But he didn't listen. And in the end, I have to leave the city because he spread rumor about me being a quack doctor.

Now I have to experience it with a group I just save?
Well, it was actually Kayla and the others who were being targeted now.
Victoria is doing fine since she's the oldest. She had more experi… I thought of her being reliable because she had a lot of experience, but why did she end up punching that someone else II right in the nose. I think it's broken.
"Hey! We just saved your life! If you don't like it I can kill you here!" Victoria said.
"You broke my nose!"
"Thanks for the clarification. I am indeed just broke your nose. Maybe I should break the rest of your bones."
Victoria said threateningly.
"Roy. Can you stop Victoria from going wild?"
Angela come to me and ask me to stop Victoria.
"No. In fact, I support her if she want to fight them all."
"Why? You should stop it before things get worse!"
"This is the consequences of your actions. Not me. You all decided to save them without knowing how terrible their personalities are. I'm just a bystander here. The one who agreed to save them wasn't me. You should learn how to handle this because in the future, you might get into a worse situation."
"So… I should join the fight?" Angela asked.
"Your choice. Mine is ignore them and go home quickly. But if you choose to join them, I'll stay here and watch."
Sophie and Lina seeing the situation get worse, approached me. They asked what happened. And since they are a bit older than Kayla and Angela, and have more experiences dealing with people who has terrible personalities, they choose to watch the situation.
But why is Victoria picked a fight with them? She was supposed to be the oldest one among us.
Then it turned into someone else and someone else II fighting Victoria. There's no way they can beat her barehanded. And it's not like she will take any damage.
Knowing the situation get worse, the old lady tried to stop the fight to no avail. She doesn't even try her best to stop the fight, huh? I guess she's a terrible person as well.
The third someone else together with Ellen looked at the situation and walked over toward me.
"Roy, thank you for saving us."
"Thank you and I'm sorry that they ended up like that."
Ellen and the third someone else said their gratitude for us saving them. They also apologize because of their attitude.
"I didn't do much. It was Angela and Kayla who did the most."
"Right. Angela, Kayla, thank you for saving us. We will pay you handsomely."
Ellen said her gratitude toward the girls.
Why can't it just be 'we will pay you, handsome'?
"But next time you choose someone to get us, please don't let them be too loud." said Angela.
Too loud, huh? Oh, right!
"That loud girl… are you the one who helped her village?"

"Huh? Yes we were, but how did you know?"
"It was me who wrote the message on the ground."
"It was you?! Jewel had been looking you ever since! She said she wants to learn more from you. And it was thanks to your message that we can easily handle the bandits. Because of that, we were labeled as heroes since the leader of the bandit is infamous. By the way, my name is Jessica."
It was the third someone else who explained to me. So her name is Jessica.
"Well, I thought that if you're her heroes, then how come your party has terrible personalities?"
"Umm…"
Ellen and Jessica looked at each other, then Jessica started explaining to me how they ended to be that way.
Their party is called Gladius with the old lady as the leader. Other than the old lady, all the other members are changed frequently.
She made the party to be all-women only and most of the members she picked are those with hatred toward men. Although not all of them really hated men, they got influenced by the old lady's hatred toward men. That was why Ellen's attitude toward me on the first time we met was horrible.
That mean they all have terrible attitude from the beginning if someone planted hatred inside of them. At first it was just toward men, then it ended up to everyone else. Although they are still good toward girls. That was why they helped the loud girl.
"So the old lady gathered women with terrible attitude from the beginning?"
"…although I want to say you're wrong, that's the truth. Sorry for being harsh on you before." Ellen bowed her head and apologizes.
"It's okay. It was fun to have someone to tease. At least you didn't try to attack me."
I looked over at Victoria who's still arguing with the others. Well, she'll be fine. Age-wise, she has more experience than that old lady. I think it will be over soon.
"Let's ignore Victoria and go home. Or you girls want to join them?"
I asked Angela and Kayla.
"…no thanks. Let's just go home," said Kayla.
"What about you two?" this time, I asked Ellen and Jessica.
"We're returning as well. As for them… I think I'll leave the party. I can't stay any longer with them." Ellen replied.
"Me too. I have never liked Tiffany from the beginning." Said Jessica.
"Tiffany?"
"That girl." Jessica pointed at one of the girl arguing with Victoria.
"So it's someone else II…"
"What?"
"Nothing. Just talking to myself."
It's not like we will meet again in the future.
Oh, wait!
"Wait! About that loud girl. Can you please tell her to lower the volume of her voice if she wanted to see me?"
"…we have tried to tell her to do so many times. We failed…" Ellen sighed.
Well, damn!
Chapter 92 - More Learning
"Alright then, goodbye!"
I waved my hand and said farewell to Jessica and Ellen.
"Wait! You don't want to stop them?"
Ellen asked me why I'm not stopping Victoria from arguing.
"Hmm? She's free to do whatever she wants to do. Once she's got bored, she will go home. And I can just summon her anytime I want since she's my summon."
"…okay. It's weird now that I think about it. They are actually arguing with a monster. So weird… We will stay for a bit and tell Nana that we're quitting the party. " said Jessica.
This time, we said our farewell for real. I together with Angela, Kayla, Sophie, and Lina who has unsummoned Sunny, went home together. Ellen and Jessica choose to stay and told their party that they're leaving the party for good. Which means Victoria will catch up soon.
As for Ellen's party… Gladius wasn't it? I never heard that name in my previous life. I guess they must have been disbanded. Seeing how they can't get along among themselves it's obvious that they will disband. I guess that's why that old lady doesn't even try her best to stop her party members.
As for Ellen and Jessica in my previous life… I don't remember having heard their name either. I should have collect more information in my past life.
It has been only a few months since I time travelled, but I have regretted that I lacked information too many times.
As soon as we arrived at our new home, I called for Sonia and summoned Victoria.
"You're talking about age, now?! I'll tell you I'm at least a thousand year older than you! Wait! Where did they go?"
Seems like the argument getting more and more heated if she started to talk about her own age.
"You're still fighting?"
"Yeah! That old lady decided to side with those spoiled girls! Why did you summoned me too soon?!"

I ignore her question and looked at Sonia instead.
"How is it? Can you undo your own magic?"
"Umm… should I really undo it?" Sonia asked me.
"What's wrong?"
"I just… imagined that if my magic was undone, I will disappear. I don't want that."
"Well, it's fine. As long as you never charmed people I care, I don't mind if your magic stays. There's also one thing I'd like for you to try later, but we have something important to discuss."
I sat at the sofa in the living room with Victoria and Sonia stays floating in the air. The other girls also seems interested in our discussion, they choose to stay and listening closely to our talks.
"I have two things I want to talk with you two. First, tell me everything you know about aura. Second, tell me everything about the person who killed you two. There might be more questions later but those two are the most important things for me at the moment."
I raised both my index finger and middle finger.
The slime and the ghost looked at each other and then they tell me everything they know about aura first.
About Aura, no one truly knows everything about it. Some says that it's a substitute for magic. But the fact that even some Expert level mage in the past can use Aura as well, that theory was discarded. As for Master level mage, even in the past those people are rarities.
Then, Aura was commonly used for body and weapon reinforcement. Covering the whole body or part of the user's body, aura will increase the strength, endurance, and speed of the user's body. When used it on weapons or tools. They can be sharper and had stronger defense.
Those are what I already learnt from my previous life. That was why I got overconfident and got myself killed. I thought that just by reinforcing my strength alone are enough for me to join the war even though I have never kill anyone before.
After I had my first kill, I didn't think much of it and got used to killing already. But in the end, I got myself killed. Although I already killed the one who's responsible for my death, I still shouldn't get cocky again.
After returning to the past and awakened my magic element, surprisingly two of them, I practiced my body so that I could manifest my Aura again. I improved my physical ability surprisingly fast and finally able to manifest my Aura just a few months after that.
When I said it to Victoria and Sonia, they don't think it was too surprising for my growth in strength and stamina to increase rapidly.
"Roy, I think it was mainly because of your air element. Just like how ice element mage can resist cold and fire element mage can resist heat, air element mage can unknowing to the mage themselves, increase the amount of oxygen taken to their lungs and spread in their blood. That's should be what happened to you. The increase of oxygen in your blood can improve your physical strength rapidly." Victoria explained.
"I don't get what she's talking about, but it's a common sense for us in the past that air element mage can improve their strength faster than any other element. That was why most kids in the past wanted to have air element so they can be the strongest once they manifest their Aura." Sonia continued Victoria's explanation.
So air element was so popular in the past, huh? Although they were rare, Aura user who has air element were much more stronger physically than those with other elements. Although in the end, it depend on the people themselves.
And more importantly, we now know that introductory school actually didn't teach much in magic lesson. Mostly teaching about writing, reading, arithmetic, and history. As for magic, they only taught us the common sense like you cultivate like this, this element is useful, that element is weak to this element, and so on.
Even Angela just realize how she feel different right now.
"So the reason I don't sweat much anymore is because of fire element… I usually sweat a lot during the day. No wonder it was actually from my fire element… or maybe ice element?" said Angela.
We continued about the next use of Aura. Once people awaken their Aura, they can get special ability that their heart desire but the Aura user themselves doesn't know about it. And they need to defeat the enemy with ability similar or the same with the ability their heart desired.
Angela wanted to fly so she gained a pair of wings. Sonia wanted to seduce men so she's able to use charm magic to seduce men. I wanted to have be better in decision making so I gained ability to see everything.
And these abilities can grow more by defeating enemies, whether they are humans or monsters, with the similar abilities with what the Aura users have.
Then the third uses of Aura is materialize it. Aura user can materialize weapon or tools with their own Aura. They can also use it to lengthen the blade of a sword, or even making a steps in the air. This is how Aura user can run in the air. Once Aura users get into this stage, none of them carrying weapon anymore.
I haven't been able to use this yet. They told me that I need to be more powerful until I can walk on air. Maybe my air element magic can help me to walk on air. But I also need to raise its level as well. Where can I find air element magic stones?
"I don't know where you can find them but I know how to make them."
"What?!"
I was surprised to hear that I can make my own air element magic stones on my own from Sonia. And looking that Victoria is surprised as well, I don't think she knows about it.
"Do you remember the ghost you exorcised before? Mr. Handsome with the perfect smile?"
"…that's a long nickname there. Was he an air element mage?"
"Yes, he was. He's also a rich man who sells air element magic stones for money. Although air element mages are rare, he became rich by putting a high price on things he created."
So, that ghost with a long-ass nickname was an air element mage who somehow unable to awaken his Aura. He's making a living by selling expensive air element magic stones to Aura users with air element magic.
Sonia continued explaining how to make the magic stones. It was quite simple. I just need a powerful container and compress the air inside of that container as much as possible after putting some magic stones in it. Any type of magic stones is good because their elements can be changed into air element. But using a normal magic stones without any element in it will make the qualities of the air element magic stones higher.
Right now, most normal magic stones that have no elements are used by researchers for creating magical tools like. That was why I never see them in my previous life as well. Once a location of where such magic stones can be mined are found, the kingdom took control of it. That was why normal magic stones are much more difficult to find than other elements.
Maybe the unknown magic stones I gave to Sam from the dungeon are normal magic stones? Victoria doesn't know about it but maybe Sonia can.
After putting magic stones inside a powerful container and compressed the air inside of it, and just by leaving it be for a few days, the elements inside the magic stones will change.
Finally I found a way to improve my air element magic faster.
Chapter 93 - Story From Fairy Tale
Powerful container, huh? I think I can use the materials like the ones I made for the oxygen tank from the time I fought the All-seeing Eye.
"Sonia, can we awaken our Aura as well?" Kayla asked.
She was interested in Aura as well. Because of her lack of offensive power, she used a spike from earth magic as a rapier. If she has Aura ability as well, she will be more powerful.
"That's a difficult question. Back then, we have a way to know whether someone has potential in awakening their Aura or not. And even those with potential, only few percent of them actually managed to awaken their Aura. But there are some who actually doesn't have the potential at first, but somehow managed to awaken their Aura even though their Aura is much weaker than average Aura user."
Sonia explained. But why is Victoria listening closely as if she doesn't know it?
"Victoria, why do you act as if you don't know it? Shouldn't you be getting your potential tested as well? And why don't you know about it?"
"Well, I don't remember it. I do remember watching something interesting though." Victoria replied.
Then Sonia tells Victoria what happened in the past.
"We were being tested at the same time! How did you forget?"
"Actually, how was our master conduct the test? I only remember of seeing something good."
"He grabbed our waist, inject a little bit of his Aura into our body while looking straight into our eyes. How could you forget that? He said that if he could see the trace of his Aura in our eyes, it means we have potential to awaken our Aura. That was the method he learned from his master," explained Sonia.
"Ooh… so that's what it was. No wonder I felt like I watched something good…"
Seeing Victoria had a weird smile, I realized what happened.
"Sonia. Did you have other fellow disciple as well? Boys perhaps?"
"Hmm? Yes. We have several boys and girls training together. Although some of them didn't have potential at first, about two or three of them managed to awaken their Aura. Of course the most talented at the time was me and Victoria."
"…no wonder she was so happy."
"What's wrong?" Sonia asked.
"Victoria… she's… a weird girl who loves to watch men getting intimate with other men…"
"…no wonder she forgot about it. I remember how she intensely watching while master is testing other disciples."
Over a thousand years passed already and she never changed. I truly wish she wasn't like that.

Now I'm worried! She said that I'm her type, but in what?! Her type in her imagination for being with… other men?
HELL NO!
I should think carefully before I answered her confession!
"What's wrong, Roy?"
Kayla is worried about me who suddenly stopped talking.
"Nothing! Sonia, can I try that with everyone here? I want to see if they have potential or not."
"Not yet. Your Aura is still not good enough. If you're doing it badly, you might end up killing them. Master said that it need precise control over Aura to do it. Even some Aura user who's much stronger than master is unable to do it."
"I see. I thought I could finally build an army of Aura users for myself. Well, maybe in the future I can."
"Improving Aura ability takes a long time. Even if you trained hard, it might take you more than fifty years before you can do it. Everyone has different limit in their potential. Maybe you have reached your limit right now. Or maybe you can only grow after you reach 70s. The rate of aura users' growth are all different from each other."
Does that mean I might already reached my limit?
Doesn't matter. There are still many things I can do even if my Aura hits the limit. I can practice other weapon, using magic tools, improving my air and summoning element, and learn all kind of knowledge.
I guess I have to give up on building an army of Aura users for now.
This is my second life. I know by now that no knowledge is unnecessary. The ones that seems unnecessary at first, actually they were just knowledge that no one have found where they need be used yet. Even if they will never be used, they are important.
And I used my time poorly in my past life. I only learned things from rumors. Even the knowledge about magic control, I learned it because one of my patient told me about it. If at that time he didn't enter my clinic, I won't be able to get this far in this life.
"Well, is that all you two know about Aura?"
I asked both Sonia and Victoria.
"Yes. That's all I remembered. If there's other things I remember, I'll tell you about it." said Sonia.
"Good. Now about the one who killed the two of you. Tell me everything you know."
The first one who tells me was Sonia.
Just like what she told me before, she was seduced by the mage who ended up killing her. Before she died, the mage told her that he wanted to kill all Aura users.
"…for someone who seduces men easily, how can you be seduced by a guy?"
"…I'm weak toward playboy. That wasn't the first time I got seduced, but back then, I could still seduce them and make them be my lovers. But for that mage, he killed me after he learned everything I know about Aura. I don't even remember his name or his face."
How stupid. A seductress easily seduced? And she ended up being killed. That's a stupid way to die.
Next is Victoria. Just like she told me when we first chatted just after I summoned her for the first time. She already heard rumor of a mage who targeted Aura users. And so, she tried to run away. To a place where no one knows that she is an Aura user.

But she failed to escape the mage's grasp. She fought him for a while, but in the end, she lost. She asked him why he's aiming for Aura users, and he told her that he wanted to be a god. He doesn't want anyone to have power stronger than him. And he also said that Victoria is the last one.
Was that mage is the same one who killed Sonia?
No one knows. But there's a possibilities of that mage who killed Victoria and Sonia is the same. Probably, that mage killed Sonia first after asking about Aura, then started killing Aura users until that mage finally killed Victoria.
Then, I noticed that Sophie is thinking deeply about something.
"Sophie? What's wrong?"
"Hmm… I think I know that story. I have something similar in books I bought for Daniel to read. Let me get it first."
She stood up and went to her own room. We all sipping the drinks Lina prepared who knows when.
Sophie returned shortly after carrying several books.
"These are the books I planned to read to Daniel so he can learn to read and write. They are all fairy tales. And this one is similar to the mage Sonia and Victoria told us."
I remember now!
I've read that book before. I had it in my clinic in case my patients will have to wait in line for their checkup. Unfortunately, my clinic wasn't popular and I'm the only one who read the books.
The story is about a hero defeating evil villains. A common story for children.
Now that Sophie mentioned it, she was right. And this book is one of many books that tells about Aura. But I thought in the past that it was just a fiction.
Now I read it again, the hero is most likely that mage who killed Aura users and the villains are depicted to be humanoid using weapon and unique ability. Some of the villains' abilities is to strengthen their physical ability called Aura. And one of the reason why I first named it Aura before I actually know that it was really called Aura when I summoned Victoria.
It started with the hero mage returned home to see that his friend was seduced by a succubus and died soon after his life force is absorbed by the succubus. Then the hero decided to seduce the succubus and killed her.
"Doesn't this part very similar to Sonia's story?"
"But I have never seduced his friend! Even if I had, I never absorbed my lover's life force! I only absorb those who are too ugly in my harem. Wait! Maybe his friend is ugly." Sonia protested.
"This story might be related to the truth. But it was changed for entertainment so the author turned the mage into hero. Even the last villain in the story is one with multiple pairs of wing. Just like Victoria." I said.
"Does that mean…"
"Yes. History is being altered. But it might just be our assumption." I answered Kayla before she finished her words.
The one who killed Aura users ended up labeled as hero, while Victoria and other Aura users became villains.
This might be a real history, but it ended up as a fairy tale. I need to know more.
"Hey. If anyone here encounter any monsters or ghosts that can speak, ask them about Aura first. Who knows if they are actually Aura users from the past?"
At least I hope the next Aura user is a human being. I want to learn more about Aura and the one who hunted all Aura users.
Chapter 94 - Way Of Distant Communication
"I believe, this is a really old fairy tale. But have either of you read about this story when you both still alive?"
I asked both Victoria and Sonia who had stayed in this world much longer than most people. Probably even the two oldest being in this world.
"Nope. But if it's about story, Victoria should have known better than me." Sonia pointed at Victoria and tell me it's better to ask Victoria instead.
I looked at Victoria and she explained.
"Back then, other than hunting monster, I love to read and write stories. Some of the books Sophie brought here were written by me. Like 'Beauty and the Rich' and 'Cloud White'. Those were originally written by me, but there might be some changes after a thousand year."
"Seriously? You wrote a story?" I was shocked to hear that. And Sophie seems interested in it.
"I just plagiarized from fairy tales from my original world. I also wrote other stuffs using different alias."
"What other stuffs?"
I didn't know that I would ask something I would regret.
"Stories about relationship between men! In fact, I also wrote something similar by using a character with the same characteristic as Roy as the protagonist!"
"Rip them apart! Burn them! Soak them into water and use it as fertilizer! Then burn all the harvest you make from any plant that use those fertilizer!"
Some things shouldn't exist in this world… in any world!
One thing I know about Victoria's original world is that no one lacked imagination! But I think there should be limit to how wild their imagination is!
"Huhuhu… no way! Even if all of them got destroyed, you could never destroy ideas! I can make a new one again no matter how many times you destroy them all!"
"No one can stop her from doing what she desired. Not even our master in the past. Just give up."
Sonia told me to just give up. There's really nothing I can do about it. I'll just check Victoria's room regularly from now on.
"By the way, I already have a sponsor. I sent some rough drafts to Hill in Mellian anonymously and he will support me. In fact, it was him who want the protagonist to be similar to you. He also…"
"Enough! Let's get back to the topic already! Have you read this story in back when you're alive?!"
I pointed at the book about the mage hero and Victoria shook her head.
"I've read almost every stories at that time, but I never read this one."
"So that means this story hasn't existed yet when you're alive. But this story was an old one that should have been modified many times. That means the original writer wrote this book around the time after you died. Maybe if we could find the original story, we will know if it's the truth or not."
That's the first step to know the truth.
The original author should be dead a long time ago. And even if we look for the current version of the book's author, we won't find much. But maybe it will be helpful.
"If anyone can find the author of the current version, let's ask him. What's his name again? Uneaten Beef? It's a pseudonym, huh?"
"There's a chance that the author has other aliases like I did. Maybe something similar like Raw Beef, Rare Beef, Medium Rare Beef, Well Done Beef, or Livestock." Victoria said
"Can we find a clue if we ask the publisher or seller?"
2023年の最も現実感あふれるPCゲームPlarium's
"Maybe, but don't forget that they are just plagiarizing book from the past. Even if we found the current version's author, he might not know anything about the truth."
Maybe I could ask historian about it? When we return to Melk, I'll try asking history teacher about hero. There wasn't any history telling us about heroes, but historian might have a clue.
"Hey, is it so important to know about the past? It was all just your assumption that the one who killed Sonia and Victoria are related to the current Evil God, right? What if you're wrong then?"
"…Angela is right. I think we should focus on the present. I also have asked the king to take care of the cult. Let's just improve our strength and study more for now. But if any of you find something related to what we're talking here, please tell me about it."
This conclude the two questions I was curious about the most right now. First is that there might be more uses in Aura than what we know at the moment. Then the one who killed Sonia and Victoria might be the same Evil God we're fighting against. Although it's just a possibility.
But at least we learned a lot today. Which is good.
"Umm… What's the thing you wanted to ask me?"
Sonia timidly asked me.
"Oh! I almost forgot. In the past, you casted a charm magic to this land, right? Then you stuck in this place forever, right? Can you still cast that magic now?"
"Umm… no. Sorry."
"I don't mind. Then what if we take a part of this land and carry it around with us. Will you be able to travel then?"
"Hmm? I don't know."
"Then let's try it."
Since in the first place there was no building here, I have to destroy the floor first to get some dirt from the ground under this building.
I walked to the center of this building, in the living room, and punched a hole on the ground.
I asked Lina to get me a container where I can put some of the dirt into, and she gave me a cup from the kitchen. Good enough.
I grabbed a bit of the ground and pour it into the cup I'm holding.
"I'll jump to the next building carrying this. Sonia, try to follow me!"
"Okay!"
Walking through the front door with a ghost will make everyone's shocked, so I get to the third floor's window so I could jump to the rooftop of our neighbor's building.
I looked at Sonia who expectant of the result. I guess a thousand years locked in one place will make her bored and want to see outside of this building.
"Ready?"
"Yes!"
Everyone stayed in the living room because I told them to stay. They don't have to come with me for these. Even Victoria is staying.
I jumped outside and landed on neighbor's rooftop. And… Sonia follows me!
She's finally able to leave that building!
"I'm moving? I'm moving! I can go anywhere now!"
"Yeah. You can go anywhere with someone who always carrying some dirt. I'll try with smaller amount now and leave this cup here."
I put the cup at the top of the rooftop and put a bit of dirt onto my hand. I clenched my fist tightly so no dirt will leave my hand.
This time, I tried to go further away. I left the city by jumping from building to building and left the city without anyone noticing. It was easy because of my 360 degree vision.

Maybe because I killed some small monsters Victoria collected and caged at home right after returning, I can see a bit further with my 360 degree vision.
Should I eat appraisal magic tools so I can appraise items with my eyes? I don't think I will. If I failed to get appraising eyes, I just ended up with stomachache. Then I shat magic tool. That's scary.
I ran to the outside with Sonia beside me. Of course with my vision I can see her without turning my head. Knowing that she can follow me this far with just a pinch of dirt, maybe my plan can work here.
"Alright. This is far enough."
"Aaah! This is the first time I'm so far away from that building! I missed the forest after all this time!"
"Well, you can enjoy the sight later. I have something else I want you to try. Can you return to our home instantly from here?"
"Hmm?"
"Try to go home directly and ask Victoria to say something weird. Then transport to where the cup from before is. If possible, grab the cup and transport here again. See if you can bring the cup with you. Oh! Try to come here only after I tell you to!"
"You mean like teleportation? And what do you mean by after you telling me?"
"I'll talk to the dirt and see if it can reach you. If I can't reach you, wait few seconds after you reach the cup to return here."
"I'll try!"
As soon as she said it, she disappear.
This distance is still within the range where my Vision Divine can see into our home. I looked at our home direction and see it was a success! She's currently asking Victoria to say something weird!
Why did I have to ask her to say something weird? Because she's a weirdo. I just want to see if Sonia can carry messages from one end to another. And Even if I told Victoria to say something good, she might just say something weird in the end.
Sonia then disappear from our house and appear on the next building. Then I bring the dirt in my hand close to my mouth and trying to tell Sonia to come here.
Sonia tried to grab the cup but she failed. So she pretend to hold the cup on her hand and teleported here.
She appear here with a weird posture like she's holding a sword on her hand. Why is she holding a cup like she's wielding a sword? Maybe her main weapon is a sword in the past.
"I can't bring the cup, but I succeeded in teleporting. I can tell that you're speaking something from that little bit of dirt but I don't know what you're saying. And Victoria said 'Roy X Hill is a good shipping'."
"That's great! Not Victoria's word. Everything apart from that is good even without the cup. Let's go home now."
"…Sure." Sonia seems dejected knowing she had to go home just as soon as she can go outside.
"Don't worry. You can follow me or anyone else later when we're going outside."
Sonia didn't teleported like before. She instead choose to follow me and see the outside world. That was why I went home slowly.
Back at home, I told everyone what I want to do with this experiment.
"I want everyone here to carry some dirt from this land with you at all time. Put some dirt inside a necklace or a bag and carry with you at all time. That way we can communicate with each other via Sonia."
"I see! If we could have a way to communicate, accident like before won't happen again! We can just ask you how to deal with it so you won't be in hurry to finish your business again!"
"Kayla is right. Even in the future, we lack the means of communication. I have some ideas for those from the future, but for us, Sonia is enough."
"Does that mean…"
"Yes. Now you can follow anyone of us anywhere. We can contact you by talking to the dirt we're carrying. Once you feel like someone called you, you have to go over there right away."
"Okay!"
Sonia seems happy now. And we also had a way to communicate even from distance.
Now no matter how long we're separated, we can be in touch with each other.
I don't know the range in which Sonia can go to, but I hope it's far.
Chapter 95 - Something I Shouldn't Have Said
"Hmm… The smell of the sea!"
"Can you even smell?"
The day after returned home, I went for my last treasure hunting before returning to Melk. And like usual, the other has their own business to attend.
Kayla, Sophie, and Angela choose to cultivate. They realize how much they depend on me, so they need to improve their own strength first. I also wish to cultivate, but there's no magic stones compatible with me at the moment.
I asked Lina to find necklace or any type of accessories that we can fill them with dirt from the land where Sonia casted her magic onto, our home.
I ask her if she can just cast another magic to the accessories. She can do it, but the strength is too weak and Sonia can't transport to the place with such weak charm magic. What a difficult ghost.
And so, I'm currently running on the surface of the sea while carrying a cup filled with dirt. That was how Sonia able to leave that building.
And now she's following me and keep quarreling with Victoria. I planned to leave the cup in an empty island so she can enjoy being outside for a while.
Victoria retorted to Sonia saying she's smelling the smell of the sea even though she's just a ghost. But can a slime smell as well?
It is funny to see that a ghost and a slime talking with each other. No one would believe it that they were actually old friends. For the ghost Sonia, it's normal I guess for human being died and became a ghost. But what about the slime?
And as for what we discussed yesterday, I'll just tell it to the king next month. Maybe he will know something.
"So? So? What are you doing here?"
The ghost is excited about playing outdoor for the first time in a thousand year. For a woman who seduces men and keep them as pets, she acted too childish some time.
"I'm hunting for treasures. There are so many treasures under the sea untouched by people. Since I have both Aura and air element, under the sea is basically my playground! If not for the fact that there are monsters as well."
"I see! You're doing something one of my lover who disappeared a few years after we became ghosts did in the past!"
Sonia continued.
"He used to say that the sea is filled with treasures. He even so proud to find one ancient tool in the past and he keep bragging to my other lovers."
"Before we continued, do you even remember the names of anyone of your lovers? I'm sad to know that all of them getting seduced by you and you never tried to remember their name." I said.
"I don't remember their name, but I make sure to give them nicknames."
"Does those nicknames changed every time?"
"…yes."
So she doesn't even try to remember their nickname, huh? Then what about that Mr. Handsome With Perfect Smile.
"I just called them according to my mood, how they look like, or how I got them to be my lovers. I also called them by how strong they are."
No wonder that mage aiming for her first. Her power is too much! She can bring any men to their knees! If that mage leave her alone until she caught wind of what that mage's aim for, there's no chance at all for that mage to win. Sonia could gather all powerful men to kill that mage. Or maybe she could even seduce that mage if she had the chance.
But unfortunately, she died before she can seduce the one who killed her. She acted stupid in front of people who flirted with her without knowing their real intentions. She never charmed them with charm magic unless they are her targets. But she feels good because she is their target so she leave them be.

"We have reached that empty island. I'll leave this cup in that island so Sonia can enjoy being outside until I return. If you're bored, then you can just teleport back home on your own."
"Okay!"
I ran on the sea surface to that empty island, and placed the cup under a tree so the wind can't blow the dirt away.
Then Sonia enjoying floating around the cup. She can't get far from that cup so she only float around that cup.
"Alright, I'm bored now. I'll go back first. Call me if you need anything!"
And poof! She's gone.
"…she was so insistent to follow us and when we're here she's gone? Your old friend has some annoying personality."
"Well, she's only interested in men. And in a different way from me." Victoria said.
"I'll be damned if the two of you interested in men the same way as you do. How can everyone in your world survive with so many of you?"
"We keep our desire a secret from everyone. But with how advanced we were, we can keep in touch with anyone with the same desire without even meeting them in person."
Maybe I could spread such invention to this world. I'll ask her later.
For now, let's go get some treasures!
Today, I only mainly looking for magic stones. Of course if there are other valuables then I'll grab them as well. But for now, it's time for magic stones. I want to increase the level of my air element magic so badly.
There's no interesting story to tell here. I'm just grabbing magic stones, most of them are water element magic stones, and gather them on the empty island. I keep doing it until it started to get dark.
Of course I defeated some monsters underwater. Although I learned how to fight with a broadsword underwater, I choose to use my self-repair spear. I let Victoria hunt monster on her own.
This way, I can improve both my summoning element (hopefully) and my Divine Vision as well (probably).
After all, there must be some monsters underwater with good vision. Especially in the deep part of the sea. Maybe I won't need to close my eyes again when I move fast underwater.
Once I think I found enough treasure, I swam around the bottom of the sea in case I found another sunken ship.
I found some of them, but I'll leave exploring that ship the next time I go diving. I just memorize where to go next time. I still need to find good material to make container so I can create air element magic stones.
Then I return to the empty island, grab the cup and some magic stones. I also found some jewelries to give Sam to sell. The amount is less than before since I'm mainly looking for magic stones, but I think it's enough for a few months.
Since I'm planning to go to the market first, I decided to not call Sonia. As for Victoria, I'll just summon her later when I'm home.
I returned by running on the sea surface. I choose a long route since I saw a ship with many mages on it. I think they want to try their luck with the sea demon, but they won't find that sea demon. It was all just a huge misunderstanding!
After reaching the city, I went to the market and bought the same material I used for my oxygen tank.
After buying some, I return home. I left my bag filled with magic stones in my room, and did some experiment.
I summoned Victoria who was still swimming, and transform her into a hammer to turn the material into a container. I want to make some air element magic stones as soon as possible.
I make the container big enough to fit ten magic stones, and thick enough to endure the compressed air so it won't explode.
After finishing the first container and compressed air inside of it, I made some more until dinner time.
During dinner, Lina gave us some accessories for us.
Everyone is here except for Sam who's busy.

"Most of what I bought are necklaces, but I have few earrings and bracelets as well."
If I want one that doesn't restrict my movement, I think I'll choose the earring. But with the size being so small, can it contain enough dirt so Sonia can travel to?
"The earring is too small. Not enough dirt to make me teleport there." Said Sonia after we tried it after dinner.
Then everyone choose their own accessories. Most of them choose bracelets. Victoria doesn't need one because I can summon her and we can use the one I'm using. As for me…
"I'll take this belt buckle. It won't restrict my movement. But…"
"What's wrong, master? Is there anything you're not satisfied with? I'm sorry for choosing one that doesn't fit your taste."
"No, Lina. You're doing well in choosing them. You're not at fault here! It's just that… since my pants fit in just right on my waist, I never need any belt even in my previous live. So I just…"
Snap!
I think I heard something snapped.
"Roy, does that mean you never gain weight? Even after you ate so many things?"
"Umm… yes? Kayla, you're scaring me."
Then Victoria explained what's wrong.
"Roy, other than you, we are all women here. All of us loves sweets and worried about weight gain. Then you just said that you never worried about gaining weight. You just made an enemy with all the women here by saying that."
Oh, shit!
"Roy, I think you will sleep alone tonight. I'll be borrowing Victoria as well."
"Umm… Sophie. Don't be angry."
"Roy. All of us will have a sleepover at Sophie's room. Don't you dare peek on us!"
"Kayla…"
"Roy! I hate you!"
"Umm… Angela… I have no other secrets…"
"Master… this is the first time I feel hatred toward you. No more dessert for you tonight."
"No! Don't take the pudding away! Lina!"
"Roy, you're the enemy of women."
"You can't say that to me if you can change your body shape however you like, Victoria!"
"Umm…"
"No! Ghost doesn't have the right to speak now!"
No one talked to me tonight. This is the first time I feel so lonely after returning to the past.
I thought I was used to loneliness in my past live, but now, I'm used to have someone with me. So when no one talked to me, I felt so lonely.
By the way, the pillow in my room is wet because of sweat. It's not tears!
Chapter 96 - The Ghost Meets The Kids
"We're here!"
After a few days of travelling, Kayla, Angela, Sophie, and I returned to Melk.
Since the loot from my last treasure hunting is a lot, and should be enough for a month until I hunt more treasure, I returned to Melk.
I'm going to tell Daniel and the others that our new home is being prepared. Lina is currently looking for someone to install a bathroom in our new house.
We already have a bathroom, but we want to have a bigger bathroom.
When I agree to have a bigger bathroom, I also said it's much better because I can join the girls. Then Angela punched me in the gut.
That was how we ended up building another bathroom in my room since it's the biggest room in the building.
As for the drainage system, Victoria is currently teaching Lina about the drainage system from her old world. She said she can't teach everything, but it should be more than enough in this world.
She never used that knowledge back when she was still alive because she always wanders around and almost never stayed in one place for too long.
Victoria also taught Lina about water system. So, we can get water in our own room by turning the tap she's planning to make.
When I heard about it, I just told her that I will leave her in Cassau until I really need her by my side and summon her. Our home is important after all.
As we were about to reach Melk, Sonia appears and see the surrounding.
"So that's where you're from."
"Yeah. Since you're here, I'll introduce you later to Daniel and the others. But when we're inside the city, before we reach Red Tail, I want you to return to Cassau first and wait until we call you over."
"Okay."
Then Sonia disappear again.
This mean that there seems to be no set distance to how far her connection can go to.
I'm leaving Sonia in Cassau to watch over Victoria. If she's left alone, there's a high chance that Victoria will look for another prison in Cassau.
But if she's with Sonia, they will end up arguing most of the time.
A slime and a ghost is arguing, and a maid is watching them... Lina can't do anything if they end up fighting so she can only watch. The only one who can stop the two of them is me.
Although I said they are fighting, they looked like a sibling's quarrel. Even if we didn't do anything, they won't go too far. And even if they do go too far, I think it's fine as well since both ghost and black slime can't take any damage.
Sonia is a ghost, and Aura is needed to exorcise her. Both Sonia and Victoria can't use Aura anymore. As for Victoria, she's a shapeshifting black slime that I often use as weapon. I don't think I ever seen her taking damage.
Normal slime can be killed just by a swing of a club, but black slime doesn't take any damage. I think she's immortal.
We entered the gate and walk to Red Tail. As we entered through the door, we see Daniel and Hannah is playing with Hannah's mother, Penny, and Ruby.
"We're home!"
Said Sophie as we entered the building.
Angela and Kayla also followed us inside instead of going to their own apartment. They have nothing to do over there.
"Sophie! You're home!"
Daniel run over to Sophie and give her a big hug.

"Daniel! What about me? Hey, Daniel? Me? This Roy here?"
"Since you took him here, he's much closer with Sophie than you. You should have played with him more."
"…can't say anything about that."
I looked down as what Ruby said is right.
"Don't worry! I like you!"
"Hannah! You're an angel!"
"I want to see Clarence every day!"
"…what about me? What about Roy? Not Clarence the clown but Roy?"
"…I missed Roy a bit, I guess?"
Scary! Children's honesty are scary!
"So? Have you find a house for us?" Ruby asked.
"Yes we have. Complete with a maid and a watchghost."
"Wait, what?! A maid I can understand, but a watchghost?"
"Just like a watchdog. But instead of a dog, it's a ghost."
Well, it's normal for anyone to be shocked when I told them I have a ghost to watch the house.
"Don't worry, she's a tame ghost. Or like, I made her submit to me."
"Is the ghost lady beautiful?" Hannah asked.
"Well… she's beautiful, but she's pretty much see through. I can call her here now."
I called Sonia by tapping the buckle on my belt. I bought this just the morning after the girls isolate me for being unable to gain weight.
I told them I did gained weight, but they were all turned into muscles. The girls still hate me even after I said that.
That's when I decide to never talk to the girls about weight ever again. Never even toward girls I don't know!
In the end, I just buy myself a belt and not talking about it. As for the others, they decided to have bracelets or necklace.
That night, since I was left alone, I spend my time making a strong container for making air element magic stones. I made about three of them and put ten stones inside each one of the containers. I hope there will be some result after I return there in two or three weeks.
Yeah, I'm planning to go there again. Obviously, to bring Daniel and the others to our new house. Then I also need to keep my promise to Albert and return. Hopefully it would be before the babies are born.
After tapping the buckle, Sonia appears.
"Sister Ghost appears! She's so pretty!" Hannah was so excited seeing Sonia's appearance.
"Thank you, little girl. You're also pretty cute yourself."
Hannah's mother, Penny, looked toward me and Sonia alternatively. When I nodded to tell her that Sonia is not hostile, Penny let out a relieved sigh.
I introduced Sonia to the others.
"So, she is the ghost who's haunting our new home in Cassau. Her name is Sonia and she's an old friend of Victoria back when both of them were still alive."
"So sister ghost is friend of sister slime! Then will you be my friend too?"
"Me too! Me too!"
Hannah and Daniel loves it when they both getting new friends. Even if they are slimes or ghosts.

Hannah calling Victoria sister slime, and Sonia is sister ghost. I think Daniel will do the same too.
"Sister Ghost! Will I be a ghost after I die, or will I be a slime?"
Oh, shit! That was a difficult question! There's no real answer to that question!
Sonia looked at me asking for my help, but the one Hannah is asking is Sonia, so I just stare dagger at Sonia.
Tell a lie! Tell a lie! Tell a lie!
Don't make them believe easily in reincarnation!
Does she understand my intention?
Sonia started answering Hannah's question.
"Little girl, you shouldn't want to become either a ghost or a slime. I became this way because I did bad things before I died. Then I died not in peace so my soul is wandering around as a ghost."
Good! That might not be a correct answer, but that's good enough for children to hear!
Sonia is surprisingly good with kids, huh?
Wait! She had a lot of lovers, but I never heard she's talking about her children. Does that mean she's unable to had children in the past? And she ended up being kind toward children because of that? I'll ask her later.
"What bad thing did sister ghost do?" This time, Daniel asked Sonia.
"For example, like not listening to your mom or brother."
That's… if it's anyone else that might be a good answer, but for Daniel who was abandoned by his mother…
"Does that mean I did bad thing? Mommy told me to wait for her, but she never returned after several days and I left with Roy…"
Sonia looked at me again. Her expression is as if she's about to cry. I have told her before we return about Daniel's situation. So she knows that he was abandoned by his mother.
Before I told her anything, Ruby come close to me and whispered something.
"We have found Daniel's mother. That day, she actually trying to sell Daniel to slave trader. After a few days, she found the trader, but at that time, you already took Daniel home with you. So the slave trader choose to have Daniel's mother to sell as a slave instead. She then run away. A few days ago, we found her corpse in the forest. Seems like she committed suicide because she can't run away anymore."
That was… lucky. If I was late just one day and didn't met Daniel by chance, he would have been a slave. He's so lucky to escape from being a slave. But I won't tell him about it. At least not anytime soon. He's still a child.
I told Sonia how to respond to Daniel's question.
"Some time, it was the mother who did bad things. So, it's fine if you didn't listen to your mother if she did bad things. But did you listen to Roy and the sisters here?"
"I did! They said that I'm a good boy and praise me!" Daniel replied happily.
"That means you're a good boy. Please continue being good to everyone."
Sonia then approached Daniel and tried to hug him. But she can't. Her body just went through Daniel's. I can see that Sonia is about to cry again. I'll help her this time.
"Daniel. Sonia can't stay here for long. She need to go home to Cassau because she has some business to attend to. Say goodbye to her."
"Bye-bye sister ghost!" Daniel, followed by Hannah, waved their hands to Sonia.
"…Bye-bye! Once you move to Cassau, we can meet again every day!"
"Really?! Then let's play together in the future!"
Sonia then disappear. She must be crying back in Cassau.
I think I need to be a bit kinder toward her. She's not as evil as I thought. There must be some reason why she's good toward children.
After Sonia returned to Cassau, we spend the rest of the day together.
Tomorrow, I will return to school and see if I can find a clue about mage hero from the past.
