Chapter 406 Home
[< Thank you for everything~! We will come back soon~~! >]
It was a fresh morning, and we were now standing before the gate in the underground room.
The children were thanking her family while the four of us just stood before the active gate, looking at the cute little furballs with warm gazes.
They couldn\'t understand their words, but their cheerful expressions and their cute, excited voices were enough to convey their feelings.
"We will miss you too, everyone~!" her mom said while embracing some of the little round creatures.
She was crouching down while hugging them. She had accepted that they really were a bit too heavy for her when they hugged in groups. And it was somewhat difficult for us to make that much understanding.
Rein\'s grandparents were talking with Mave... yes, her grandma could also communicate with creatures of earth and earth\'s higher attributes.
It was a small time, but she definitely was interested in Mave as much as me, but I sternly declined her every conscious or unconscious attempt of obtaining Mave from us.
I knew how she must have felt, but it couldn\'t be helped. Mave was someone who would be a great help to me. I can\'t just let her go, right?
So that was it...
All the new \'people\' and children we brought with us were surprised, shocked, amazed, or in awe of her grandparents and the two of them were the same...
\'Last night was longggggg...\'
We told them everything that happened when we were gone, and they were speechless at our foolishness.
She used too much of her strength before an opponent that could have very well killed us if it only had been more \'evil\' and careful.
They even scolded me... but there was nothing much I could do.
We were separated, and I knew, we all knew, that we would have come out alive one way or another if things really got out of hand.
So, we were alright... but it was still shocking that one of the famous people that even they remembered and acknowledged was now serving their dear granddaughter.
It was one thing that Zuroro, a lizardman champion, was serving me, but Morris was a unique case altogether.
If we say that they were surprised to see a strong creature with great potential and senses that transcended human thinking, just meeting a known lich, a strong mage who had broken the bounds of human limitations, and devoted his life in the pursuit of his pure desires, was a spark of fortune for them. No one in the world knew where that lunatic of pure darkness had vanished in the last few decades, after all.
So, her grandparents talked with him a lottttt... and were excited about how he would stay with her, with them, from then on.
\'But that shocked face Zuroro made was just adorable~! LOL...\'
It was when her grandparents came down and he saw them for the first time.
How his senses didn\'t tell him of their power was understandable as them being just out of his understanding but, it was another thing when the two of them suddenly showed their concentrated \'bloodlust\' to him to test him...
They were smiling while doing that, thinking no one would notice because it was a precisely concentrated bloodlust, but they at least couldn\'t deceive me in matters related to energy...
Anyway, Zuroro was probably the most afraid he had been his entire life at that moment.
They cared for me, and a famous lich was one thing but, a monster?
They believed me more than maybe even their close aids, but they couldn\'t possibly believe a creature without testing him...
Thankfully, he passed... this time.
His expression when I told him he would be facing people of similar as well as higher strengths at my house was just... priceless, too.
\'Just imagine a frightened crocodile-like lizardman, hehe...\'
"Eon?" she called me out when she felt that I was laughing in my own thoughts and was suddenly confused.
"Just suddenly remembered Zuroro\'s expression from last night. Hehe."
I couldn\'t help the small chuckles at this moment and when I brought this up, even she couldn\'t help the unwanted chuckles.
It was funny... and it was time.
I had already informed everyone at home that we will be back by this time, so they must be waiting.
\'Especially Anna...\'
She was almost half sleepy when I called home in the early morning, but when she heard that I would be bringing some new friends with me, her sleepy eyes opened wide, and she ordered us to quickly get back.
\'I said it\'s a surprise who these friends would be, so her excitement must be sky high by now...\'
It would be fun to see her amazed reaction when she meets these small round furry balls. I know they would also just love to spend a good time with her. She was the best, after all.
So, it was time now...
We had to go, and they all had to say goodbyes to this family so that they can meet another great family and people.
[< "It\'s time everyone. Let\'s goooooo~!" >] I shouted cheerfully, and the children finished their goodbyes with everyone.
Her mom was sad to part ways with these amazing children after such a short time, and her dad was the same. He had strangely gotten a lot close to two of the povpoi with wind attribute powers.
They were the same, and I knew if not for the fact that we had to go back to my house, I knew the two povpoi would have just stuck with him.
Alas, we had to go back now. But they can definitely come back here whenever they licked. This was also their home, after all~.
So they also said see you soon to him and came towards us.
"Take care of everyone, Eon." Her grandpa said and gave me a warm smile. Same as her grandma.
"I definitely will," I answered with a confident tone that was enough for him for everything.
"Come back soon dear Eon~!" her mom shouted with many meanings behind her words.
And... well, I sighed with a \'deep\' smile that answered her \'deep\' request. She was also becoming mischievous, like the other women in my family.
\'Hopefully... she wouldn\'t be as weird as them.\'
I prayed to nature sincerely and sighed...
"Ok. Let\'s go."
-Ooooooooooooooong.
The warp gate was the same blue vortex it had always been. But unlike a few days ago, when the two of us were the only ones passing through it, we had thirty-five more companions with us this time.
It was going to be fun living with them~!
***
"Is he here~?" a gorgeous little girl, our dear little Anna asked with a restless voice. And this was her fifth time asking the same question in the last ten minutes they were standing here.
This was the front garden and most of the family was here to welcome their precious little boy back.
He had gone for just a few days and the entire house seemed to be empty without him.
A house that had become cheerful after such a long time was once again missing something important after a long time.
But, though it felt empty, there certainly was no gloomy or less cheerful atmosphere.
There was this little girl to invigorate the whole big mansion, after all.
But now she was anxious.
She had an excited heart as she stood before the gate, waiting for the arrival of her amazing big brother.
He was amazing, and he had said he was bringing some new friends with him. She knew him too well, so she knew that whoever her big brother brought with him will definitely be as awesome as him~!
She was looking forward to meeting these new friends, but it was taking too long.
"Is he here yet~?" she asked again. And this marked the sixth time.
But her big sister Zoe, the one who was holding her left hand, just shook her head in \'no\' again, smiling at the miserably cute look this little angel was making.
Their mom also chuckled at the two again. It was just too much fun to see her anxious little daughter and smiling older daughter.
Both of them were best friends and sisters that couldn\'t be separated. And they both looked perfect together, so it was best that way.
"Are they here yet~?"
Seventh time. But still, the answer was \'no\' with the same smile.
She was starting to get grumpy that her big brother was late, but she still held back. She was just too excited to think about other things.
The other people in the garden, the two little girl\'s father, the two aunts, the big tiger in her original form resting under a tree, two grandparents, and the guarding knights and mages were here.
Well, they were only doing their work, so that was it, but the family members were happily waiting for their boy.
They were waiting, but the members who were absent right now will definitely be surprised when they meet the beings that will come with their Eon.
But before the meeting of the family and Eon\'s new friends...
"Are they-"
-Oooooooooooong!
"They\'re here!"
"Yeiiii~!"
The patterns on the warp gate started glowing in blue one by one and the inside of the hollow gate started filling with a white light... which quickly turned blue and then became turbulent and then a vortex appeared in it.
Then, two \'not that tall\' figures walked out of it, some small balls were jumping just behind them and then at the very back were two bigger presences, one being a little too big for a human.
They were Eon, Rein, Mave, and her children, Zuroro and Morris.
But, as soon as they walked out of the gate, something strange happened.
-Shrrrrim.
-Swiiiiiiish...
"Stop."
-Thum.
It was strange, but many knights and guards who always stayed in the shadows came out with their weapons ready and aimed their blades at the lizardman and the floating undead.
But before they could move from their positions, Eon\'s voice reached their ears, and they froze in their positions.
It was just a normal voice, but it was strange to describe how they just couldn\'t move their bodies after that point.
"They all are with us, so just relax." He said again and after those words, they were freed from the strange restrictions.
They were confused as well as felt awe at the powers of their \'master\'.
They only needed his few words to understand the whole situation, so they just relaxed and this entire scene was mostly only known by the grandparents and his dad.
The others? Well...
"Woooooooow~!"
"Cute..."
"E-Eon?! A-are they really... povpoi?!"
His sisters were smiling with wide eyes, his aunts were awestruck by the cute eyes of the children, and his dad had an unbelieving look on his face.
They were the reactions that he had anticipated but, one thing he didn\'t think...
[< WOW~~~! >]
All the povpoi children gasped at once and started jumping toward his family members.
And their destination was naturally... his dear little sisters.
