This Wednesday was the strangest day I have ever had in this new world.
First I have Tera.
Second, a group of fans attacked the house and Enrs dispatched them, when I left the house the first thing I saw was Enrs cleaning his sword covered in blood, in fact, his entire uniform was covered in blood and around him a large number of bodies mutilated.
"Excuse me friend, but I'm not presentable right now"
What was the first thing I did? Yes! Pass out.
Who is the golden-eyed princess who just passed out Enrs? Victoria exclaims disappointed.
"He is my friend and he is a human without magic", emphasizes Enrs, "also do not call him a princess with golden eyes"
"Calm down, calm down, then that's the reason why you waste your time here? To take care of the housewife"
Is it a civilian perhaps you expected?
"This is supposed to be Augustus the elemental wizard, not Augustus the housewife." She lifts her shoulders and rolls her eyes in disgust.
"Try not to give him nicknames when he wakes up"
"I will do what i can"
After 5 minutes I wake up, embarrassed.
"I'm sorry for what happened," I tell Enrs and K'vool.
They both laugh at me.
"It's understandable, I doubt you'd ever kill anything," exclaims Enrs sympathetically.
It's not primarily about that, it's about my trauma. Seeing my friends and wife die in front of my eyes and then torture me for years left me with a psychological problem, and seeing blood and organs along with a large amount of blood makes me relive that trauma.
"You are a little pale Augusto" emphasizes K'vool.
"It was just the impression" I answer, avoiding the truth.
Next to Enrs is another elf, but she is a woman.
Is it a new imperial guard? I ask Enrs.
"If you see her"
She makes a military salute and introduces herself "Nice to meet you, Mr. Householder, my name is Victoria, imperial officer, I was assigned to defend this area with officer Enrs."
Househusband?
"Yes, Enrs forbade me to use derogatory nicknames against you human without magic, so use the most reasonable one" Enrs covers her face, saddened by the response given by her partner.
Thanks? I answer confused.
Tera seems annoyed hearing Victoria.
And what is that thing? She asks with some disgust.
"She is my friend and pact Tera" I answer a little irritated.
So if he is a sorcerer? Victoria asks her partner.
"It is impossible for me to give an answer since I have never seen him use any spell"
Did those guys go after my daughters? I ask concerned.
"If about that, I assassinated about 20 cult members on the way," Victoria replied calmly.
I look at my troll friend, can you take care of the house?
He raises his thumb "Go ahead"
"Enrs, come with me"
"I can't, I have to clean the place, instead my partner can take you"
"Okayoooo" she exclaims bored, then she holds my hand tightly "hold on, Mr. Householder"
In a few minutes we are at the entrance of the school.
He is okay?
I was dizzy, my head was spinning, I held my hands on my knees and looked at the ground waiting for my sight to return to normal.
"If I'm fine, just a little dizzy" I stand up straight and continue "now to ask where the girls' classrooms are"
Then more strange things follow, the cold woman due to Anna's condition gives me a kiss on the cheek, then I behave like an idiot who cannot speak.
In addition, the girls begin to cry when Victoria comments that her aunt is aware of what happened.
Why are girls crying? I ask them in anguish.
"Our aunt is on her way"
"They must not be sad and cry, I don't think she will do something wrong"
"But daddy, you don't know Aunt Velvet, if she sees you she can kill you"
"Come on sweetheart, if she's like you then I don't think she'll do something like that"
"But daddy"
I caress their heads, their hair is soft and silky "maybe he just wants to see them"
When I get home, Maki is waiting for me, who wears a bandage on her shoulder, has some wounds on her body and looks a bit pale.
When I asked him what happened he just told me.
"I fell down the stairs and hurt my shoulder. It's nothing to worry about daddy "he replied dryly.
Then he took the girls.
"I have to talk to them something personal dad, when it is appropriate I will tell you"
"But"
"We'll talk later dad," he exclaims coldly.
She walks away to her room and leaves me alone at the entrance of the house. (I think I'm a bad father, maybe Maki lost confidence in me)
"If you wonder why your eldest daughter behaves like this, it is because General Velvet contacted the sorceress Mackensie"
Is that good or bad?
"It's good for the empire"
That means?
"Classified information, it is not something that can be told to a civilian"
Short, crisp answers from the new officer, after all if she behaves in accordance with her position, except for a few hours ago when she was at school.
Enrs and Victoria must return to the town to send their report, while K'vool continues on his way to another region, he told me that we will not see each other for about two months as he must finish a business.
Before leaving, he hands me a book on botany.
"I think you should study it, maybe you can find useful information"
We shook hands and I say goodbye to my friend whom I won't see for a long time.
In the same way, Enrs says goodbye and Victoria returns to make her military salute.
"Happy afternoon sir, householder, your daughters look like angels and if you allow me I would like to be able to hug your youngest daughter again"
"See you in two days Augusto, making a detailed report of what happened takes time"
My friends and the officer leave and I stay with the girls Ha and also Tera.
Although now Tera is dedicated to chasing the insects that try to approach our garden.
What a strange day.
After all the girls didn't want to talk to me, they just said they would go to their rooms early.
I was left alone looking at the stars with Tera.
"Tell me Tera, do you think I did something wrong?" I ask a plant, I think I'm going crazy.
She rubs against my cheek.
She even brings me an insect that she hunted to cheer me up.
"Thanks Tera, but I don't eat insects"
The sky is clear, there are no clouds.
The stars twinkle those thousands of stars shine and go out.
And I ask myself what are my parents doing? How will my brother be? In what year will we be on earth? Is this my real body?
There are so many questions that I have.
I hope my family is well.
I hope you are not sad about my death.
I wish to see you one more time, especially my wife.
Haaa, the stars look so bright and the moon so blue, everything seems out of a story.
Although I think I am happy in this new world, I feel melancholic, I cannot forget everything that happened to me. Being with the girls makes my days happy, keeping busy makes me forget the torture.
Those tortures ...
When I saw the mutilated bodies and the blood I remembered when they gouged out my eyes, then my tongue and continued with each of my parts, everything did not matter to me, I was in a black hole since I lost my wife and my unborn child.
Why do I think about that now?
Why can't I remember my wife's face? Try as I might, I can't remember, even when I see the photo the girls have of their mother, I can't see her face either.
Who was my other self?
Maki told me that she doesn't remember my old face either, she just says she's happy it's back.
I'm the same person? Who knows.
If I really were that person, I wouldn't fear anything, instead I'm just a human without magic. I cannot deny that I am glad that I do not possess magic or sorcery, nobody is looking for me or threatens me (or so I thought), nor do I have to save the world; Instead I dedicate myself to living a quiet life with the girls.
But if I don't have power, how can I defend girls? Today made me think about it. A group of assassins found out where we lived, if it weren't for Enrs maybe I would be dead. What happened to Maki? It was possible that they had attacked her, those wounds are not made by falling from some stairs.
But what can I do. Maybe nothing, I have no power to protect them.
Even if Anna or Antonia want me to meet someone. I do not want it.
I feel that I would betray my wife, in the same way no woman would notice me, I think I am happy as I am.
If one day I fall in love again (which I doubt) I hope to choose well.
Tera falls asleep on my shoulder, I take her with her hands and leave her in the garden.
The wind that was blowing was cold.
It was almost 12:00 AM and perhaps it was the dream or an illusion, but I observe in the distance a small point that moves at great speed. It seems to be getting closer.
Then something strange happens, maybe it was a dream, an illusion or my mind playing with my nightmares.
I start to see a moth, it looks like a nebula, while it flaps it drops bluish dust and I start to see small flows of energy everywhere, the more the moth moves the more flows I see, from the trees, the earth, the air, the small insects and animals. They all release a constant flow of energy.
Until the strange moth lands on my hand.
The strange animal looks at me and flaps its wings, spraying me with its dust, but nothing happens to me, in fact, I am the only one who does not release a flow. The little animal notices it and continues its course circling through the air; until it disappears into the sky.
"My master so that's his power" says a female voice.
If perhaps it is a dream, it is impossible that I am seeing a naked woman with an extremely proportionate body and pigmented skin between blue and green looking into my eyes.
Don't you recognize me teacher? Asks me.
I can't look away from her eyes, her pupils look like two small golden stars, while her long silver hair covers her breasts, realizing that she uses what seems like magic and creates a long dress, the design of the dress It is so strange that it does not seem from this world, but from my world.
If it must be the dream, I must have fell asleep outside. (I'm going to be sick)
We stare at each other.
The wind blows stronger and the stranger's silver hair dances, while her semitransparent dress moves.
"Maybe it is not the time" she comments "when I recover my memories I will explain everything, just for now sleep" the stranger gracefully lifts her index finger.
Augusto falls asleep.
"I have observed it for a while and few living beings would be able to make a goddess interested in reliving her memories, when the time is right I will teach her what she can do"
