Chapter 157: We're gonna greet them to hell
The next morning, Sekke who slept quite late because he was busy telling a story to the kids, naturally woke up a bit late. The amount of fatigue both physical and mental weighed a lot on him and he was finally able to sleep after a long while.
"Wake up my other half. You would look hilarious if you woke up later than the kids."
Hearing the familiar voice of the dragon inside him, Sekke groggily woke up and looked around him, shooting the kids sleeping in bizarre poses.
'Good morning Vritra.'
"Morning. So how was sleep after the whole elf, devil, and this new dimension ordeal?"
'Could have used more sleep but yeah, it felt great.'
He then stood up and folded the sheet that Amelia gave him and went out of the room.
"Hm? You woke up early. Good Morning Eren."
"Huh...oh yeah. Good morning," replied Sekke almost forgetting that he was currently named Eren.
"I hope you slept well and the kids didn't bother you much."
"It's fine. I slept like a log. Anyway, what things do you need me to do?"
"Mostly repair and manual labor. It will also be good if you can help in farming. But leave that for later, go and wash up first. And wake up the kids after you are done." instructed Amelia and got back to cooking.
Sekke gave a nod and went to wash his face and freshen up for the day.
He then woke up the kids much to their annoyance, but still, the kids followed the order.
Once all of them were done with their morning routine, they gathered around the table to eat their breakfast.
After they were done Sekke decided to start working and was soon led by Amelia and the kids.
"So you want me to repair the fence, the doors, windows, roofs, and the warehouse? Alright, where will I get the wood?" asked Sekke.
"What will you be repairing first?" asked Amelia.
"The fence," replied Sekke and checked the condition of the barbed wire.
"Okay. Willy, if you don't mind."
"Yes, matron."
Hearing her request the male twin stepped forward and held one of the wooden fence planks.
[Maker Magic: Object Remake]
Mana filled the wooden fence plank and soon multiple planks started piling up near Willy.
"...Seems like the perfect magic to crash the market. Stonks," said Sekke as he picked up the full stack of planks.
Walking towards the damaged fence, Sekke simply grabbed one of the stronger-looking areas and uprooted the whole fence in one go, making the kids' and matron's eyes widen from shock.
"E-Eren, don't you need tools like a hammer and nails?" asked Amelia still feeling bewildered by the young man's actions.
"No need."
Not even turning around Sekke grabbed the planks and started slamming and planting them into the ground one after the other. This went on for a while and soon the whole perimeter of the orphanage was covered in a new wooden fence.
"So, now the doors and windows, right?" asked Sekke just to be sure, but the kids and Amelia were still shocked by the sight in front of them.
"You finished a work that would have taken nearly a week in just a matter of minutes..." muttered Amelia.
"Woah! He just rammed the planks in the ground with his bare hands!!" exclaimed Cassie.
"Amazing!" cheered the twins.
Hearing the praise Sekke's chest swelled with pride.
"If you work at this pace, then all the work will be over in just a day or two. We really got an amazing personnel," commented Amelia with a smile.
"Huh...wait a minute, if I finish all the tasks here then I won't be employed here anymore."
"Hm...I suppo-"
"Oh my, I suddenly feel so weak after completing a task that could have taken weeks in just a few minutes. I don't think I can work anymore today," said Sekke dramatically and fell to the ground.
"Huh, you were perfectly fine just now?!"
"I am not anymore."
"You are lying."
"I am not."
"Yes, you are. Come on, don't be lazy."
"Matron is bullying the weak."
"How come I am the bully?!"
The matron and the dark lord continued to bicker for a while.
'If not for me needing a base for now, I would left. I cannot get fired for now.' thought Sekke.
"Matron, don't bully big bro Eren!" said the twins.
"Yeah, the matron told us that bullying is bad," added Ross.
"Mr. Eren big bro dark lord did the work so it's fine, right?" added Lenora.
"Besides, if he leaves we won't be able to finish Naruto." finished Cassie.
Seeing the five kids defending him, Sekke looked at Amelia and smirked.
"Good job brats. Defend your dark lord from oppression."
Seeing the combined front of the little kids and the bigger kid in a man's body, Amelia sighed.
"Alright alright! I understand. You actually completed your job so I can't complain."
Hearing that Sekke smiled but out of nowhere his brows twitched a bit.
'...Looks like it's time to leave.' thought Sekke.
"You picked something?" asked Vritra.
'We are being monitored. I am sensing around 5 people.'
"They found us pretty quick."
'Well, I killed two whole platoons so...'
"Hmm....so what to do with the kids and matron?"
'Let's just make sure that they aren't prosecuted for sheltering me.'
Ending his chat with Vritra, Sekke stood up and looked at the kids and the matron for one final time.
"I will be going to the town for a bit," said Sekke and got out of the orphanage.
Amelia and the kids looked slightly confused but soon ignored that.
After walking quite a bit away from the orphanage, Sekke stopped and turned around and spotted the two guard siblings he met yesterday.
"Yo, Raymond, Roxane. Good morning." greeted Sekke with a smile.
But the two siblings weren't smiling and charged their weapons with mana.
"Eren Yeager, no Sekke Bronzaza. We are here to arrest you for the crime of killing the Border Patrol squad."
"*Sigh*So you guys know. Well, wanna let me go and do a favor to your friend?" asked Sekke.
"We are no friends with a criminal."
"Yeah, sending two whole platoons to capture and kill me, and me retaliating back to live makes me the criminal," said Sekke with a deadpan look on his face.
"You killed 347 people!!" yelled Roxane.
".... It's literally a matter of perspective you know. Besides I am busy working at the orphanage and taking care of those kids, you don't want something.... let's just say unpleasant to happen there now do you?" asked Sekke with a cold smile on his face.
"....You can play the villain role as well. I am learning of your new talents," commented Vritra.
"Don't worry about them, they are now taken to a safe place anyway. So how about coming with us while we are being nice." said a new voice and soon a man appeared out of nowhere behind Sekke.
"Aww you brought more friends to play with, and what about the other two you may come out as well you know."
Hearing Sekke's words two guys came out of the ground.
"So what now? Wanna surrender while we are being nice, it's five against one you know?"
"Now where's the fun in that, at least I want to fight while I can."
"Is that so..." commented the guy who appeared out of nowhere and all five of them got ready with their weapons to attack the dark lord.
"You might wanna take that sword out now." said one of the people who came out of the ground.
"Why? It's not like I am gonna need it for people of your level," replied Sekke.
"...You basta-"
Out of nowhere, Sekke appeared in front of the guy with a glowing orb in his hand.
[Mana Bullet: Rasengan]
Slamming the orb filled with mana in the man's gut, Sekke simply smiled and watched as the man was blown away by the impact.
"The kids would have gone bonker after seeing the real-life ransengan."
Suddenly Sekke's legs were grabbed and he looked down to find the other earth mage.
"Just an advice. Let go."
"..."
"Well, I did my part of warning you."
[Bronze Transformation Magic: Midas Touch]
"Wha-!"
Not even a second later the man's hands along with some part of the ground were turned to bronze.
"Tell him *freeing the legs by breaking off the bronze hands* he won't be able to jerk off anymore."
Seeing how two of them were dealt with so easily, the other three got serious.
The remaining new man ran towards Sekke but soon turned invisible.
Seeing that Sekke widened his eyes in shock.
"Just kidding~" commented Sekke as he took a step back and punched the space to his left with his fist covered in bronze.
"Agh!"
With a grunt of pain, the man materialized again and fell to the ground.
"..."
"Really? Down in one punch? Man I am strong," commented Sekke.
He then looked at Raymond and Roxane who got vigilant once they saw his gaze.
Seeing that Sekke sighed and pointed his finger toward them and fired two mana bullets at the siblings.
[Debuff Magic: Sleep Touch]
The moment the bullets hit the siblings they started to wobble around and soon fell to the floor as well.
"You dealt with them rather peacefully," commented Vritra.
"The two of them helped me, just returning the favor."
After that Sekke went toward one of the fallen men and started going through his clothes.
"What are you doing?"
"Checking for loot. We need usable money, you know?"
"The mighty dark lord is stealing?"
"It's the price for not killing them. It's different from stealing."
"It's a matter of perspective I guess."
"...Sometimes you're just mean-"
Before he could finish a barrier surrounded him and an instant later Sekke vanished from the spot.
------------------
"We secured the target." commented a man wearing the same white young master soldier uniform.
"True....but who's gonna secure you guys now?"
"!!!!"
Not even hesitating a bit, Extase cleaved through the heads of the group of men surrounding Sekke.
"They really don't give me a break," commented Sekke as he swung the blood off Extase.
"So, where are we?" asked Vritra.
"I hope their HQ," replied Sekke.
"...So we gonna greet them?"
"We're gonna greet them to hell."
