Formsy: Rise Of Darkness

Foreword:

Here is a world.

It is counted. At first there was nothing, from that infinite nothing a harmonic sound was born, a slight long and beautiful chord that ran through the infinite nothing.

The first musical note filled the void, followed by one that complemented him and he continued calmly, shortly after in a prolonged calm and then ...

Music was born.

The Primordial Creator was captivated by that display of creativity, sinking into a peaceful dream of pleasure at the creation of beings inferior to Him, then he waved his hands to indulge more with his own creation.

Countless instruments were born at that time of strings, wind and percussion. That void was filled with the beautiful sound, but soon it was not enough for everyone.

The void then became the infinite canvas for those who wanted to color the hopeless deep black, the color originally born was the blue of the sky on the pearl of creation.

Often they came in all the colors that lie in the spectrum of the vision of every intelligent being, life took on hues to the delight of the creator.

The colors were done.

Ecstatic by what was done, the Creator unleashed those who were under his power; Without reason and destiny the so-called helpers set out to create. With the canvas full of colors and fullness ahead.

One conceived of his mind the so-called [Matter], here the elements were born as a consequence. Light, Darkness, Fire, Earth, Forest, Mountain, Water, Sound, Time. That filled existence.

One mixed all that to give it a spherical shape completely made of fire, thus the Sun was born for the day, then I took two spheres made of a mixture of stone and ice in order to give the light the moon that would rule the night; He took [Matter] again but this time he filled the sphere with elements in deep chaos. I have made the first celestial body.

After creating 7 other spheres, he took the time creating a special one, to plant in it all kinds of fruit trees, all herbs and all beautiful-looking plants.

Then another, seeing the beauty of that sphere, asked the Primordial creator to give life, he gave it to him and he gave life to every beast of the field, of the sky and of the sea; the great beasts of the deep, of the heights and the earth.

Another taking three species granted him the transcendence; from there the three primordial species were born: Humans, Elves and Vultlev.

The last of them, seeing the culmination of the creativity of their peers, took in their hands a bunch of leaves and began to tell the Primordial the story of the beings that filled that existence.

Catherine.

The setting was a small peasant town. With wheat fields forming golden seas on the sides of the road to reach that place, with an arch made of white stone worn with purple vines in it that stopped right in the center of the arch where there was a bronze plate with the words carved "Le Fleur"

After passing the arch and entering the town, the first vision would be white houses with red ceramic roofs, white walls delimited by wooden fences of different colors, with wooden doors, green lawns patios that shone from the morning dew .

In several of these patios there were different trees that ranged from apple trees, cherry trees, orange trees to those with pears, surrounded by birds that sang to the good weather while bees collected the nectar of the different flowers.

Near the town surrounding it as a perfect irrigation for the crops was a river of crystalline waters from which some carp or large fish such as catfish or salmon jumped from time to time.

The streets of the town were paved in light color, with several black steel fences, with long black steel poles where there were oil lamps with a flat base with the bars curved inwards with the top also flat with a protrusion that emulated a crown.

Near the village a small square loomed that had built more urban, buildings stones that were by far the most senior of all, many were expected as the village's tavern.

The morning sun lit up the entire town little by little, the most striking being a 2-story white house that spanned 30 meters long and 40 meters wide with an annex that resembled a stable totally sealed with a chimney of red stones.

A red wooden door with a hand bronze with the symbol of a fox carved into her windows with wooden frames of the same red des tinting , in brass railings of the house surrounding the yard green lawn where it was an apple tree with a swing rising up to 15m high was a silver plaque with a unique carved legend.

"Songstricke"

The sunlight through the only window was open in all that residence being the one that was in the left wall of the room, the rays of light covered with its morning heat everything in its path. The room in the peace of those who rest at the time was 5m long and 5m wide.

It had cream-colored walls, with a brown wooden door with carvings of vines with bunches of grapes on them with a polished bronze-colored knob, the brown wooden floor polished in such a way that they gleamed in the sunshine. above him , the roof of the same wood, but with an opening where you could see a window covered by wood that did not allow the entry of light.

Two 2m high by 1m wide black wooden cabinets placed on the left wall of the room to the right of the open window, with red metal hinges and carved doors with a two-tailed fox pointing each each other with their snouts being the claws the handle of a black metal.

In the center of the room was a black wooden bed with each of its legs carved in the manner of a sphere with the flat end following a curvature of the wood as a musical note ending with the own rectangle of any bed.

On the wooden body was a soft mattress covered by a thin white cover, with the thick brown sheets thrown on the right side of the bed, on the left side of the same bed rested a small black metal chest with a padlock gold on the lock.

From the edge of the bed where lay the bottom of that body with a stretched upward s thin legs color smooth, delicate and smooth appearance cream that lacked any type of hair which shone with the light of the sun on the skin, both semi-extended, the right being completely straight resting on the mattress while the left had the knee slightly extended.

Moving up, he was followed by the thigh that was healthily stuffed with meat, which shone in the sunlight, reaching the crotch that was covered by a small cream-colored fabric shorts that left the contour of his firm butt glistening more against the fabric than barely. I could contain it.

Going up her figure, the following would be narrow hips that gave rise to a slim waist ready to carry babies that continued until discovering a thin and thin abdomen with a small inward navel that was not completely covered by the white t-shirt that her woman wore.

Raising even more, the pair of breasts poorly covered by the shirt were of a large size, it was around size I and was close to K as would be expected from the beauty that the owner of the lower part wore, with an abundance of meat that fell and it rose to the rhythm of the woman's breathing.

Her slim, gleaming arms were extended upward to narrowly encircle her head, again without any hair on any of her upper limbs.

The morning sun hit his face. Of a heart-shaped outline, with a light-colored plump cheek. Wearing a healthy and smooth skin that lacked any apparent imperfections.

With thin and tender lips of pure pink colors that incited to steal a kiss, hair the color of gold in messy strands that covered her forehead, with thin eyebrows over her closed eyes that finished framing the gold of her eyelashes that in the light from the sun shone.

The sunlight on his beautiful face took him out of his reverie, the sound of the birds that morning was completely harmonious, the bed that day was soft and comfortable.

But lonely.

She got up clamoring, feeling a bit sleepy, moved to the nearby window to open her eyes and gaze at the world in front of her as any morning passerby took a look from the woman.

She had 7 Fox tails that rose freely moving behind her back while the ears of the same animal protruded from her head exposing her like a Vultlev.

He sighed as he searched his mind for the reason why he was still in a country like Honoristy. The home of one of the three species that shaped the history of the world.

The humans.

That was the southern area, full of harmonious vegetation that always seemed to be in the middle of an idyllic summer, his eyes went from the horizon extended to the distance towards his right hand, more specifically his ring finger where was a ring of pure gold with lines recorded that mimicked a fox tails s with a large sapphire center it.

A lonely smile adorned her lips for a few moments as she contemplated that symbol of union with her husband, after a few seconds her attention turned to Her lonely room where she entered a nostalgia for her loss.

His human lover ...

She herself had no reason to be there in a foreign country far from her family, besides her moral code told her to leave, but she did not do so because of the memory of her late lover and husband whom she had come to love. to that town as if it were his own.

The townspeople of the village only stopped for a few seconds to look at the beauty of that Vultlev most of all, admiring the prominent figure of the Vultlev that made it stand out the most by being positioned like this, letting the size of their breasts be noticed when leaning against the window . And then continue,

"Mommy!" a childish voice rang out from the other side of the door, and made the woman come out of her transe, diverting her gaze to whoever was passing the door.

A beautiful infant. Of a childlike appearance from 8 to 10 years of a 1m, with long blond hair reaching his waist that bordered his round face with glistening fair skin, with rosy cheeks, bright pink lips, pure large eyes of blue irises that they glittered like sapphires.

With a unique fox tail that swayed cheerfully from side to side to match her golden fox ears, she wore over a white sleeveless one-piece suit and walked barefoot around the house.

When she saw her mother in the window gaining interest all with a smile from ear to ear ran toward her to hug her legs leaving his head resting on his stomach , as he dropped one s giggles looked up.

"Mommy?" he asked, although his gaze said directly "is something wrong?" while the mother responding to the signal shook her head as she went to the bed taking a seat again.

" It's nothing dear, do you want me to comb your tail and hair?" the mother said, patting an empty space on the bed, which her daughter accepted, smiling broadly, jumping towards the bed, crawling until she sat down next to her mother with her back to her so that she could comb her hair and tail.

On the spot, he brought a tail of his to his daughter for her little daughter to take and hug affectionately. Catherine took her daughter's tail delicately. With her own nails, she began to comb it slowly and carefully, pampering the girl who did her best to keep her tail still.

" Hehe, do you like me to do this to you? Eh Haruka? " Catherine said chuckling as his only daughter river later.

" I like my sweethearts !" Haruka encouraged as she glued Catherine's tail to her face, feeling her daughter's breathing which was soft and calm, without agitation or disturbance.

Catherine with a serene and calm look, the sadness in her heart appeased as she combed her daughter's tail with one hand as she began to hum melodies to fill the so quiet room in which they were both.

" Da ~~~,

Girl ~ with golden hair ~~.

Master ~ r Tempered Forge ~.

Seven years in creation and two in perfection ~~ n.

Da ~~~.

Girl ~ with golden hair ~~.

Of ~ sapphire eyes ~ s.

The song of time I believe you ~.

And the forge shaped you ~.

From the heart you were born,

And you were loved ~~~ ...

Da ~.

Girl ~ Golden hair ~~. "

Catherine finished with a smile from ear to ear while her daughter yawned a little, the Vultlev smiled before gently dropping the part she was holding to allow her offspring to rest peacefully.

"Sleep a little more ..." Catherine whispered giving her daughter a kiss on the cheek that the infant responded with a smile while she slept.

"Mother, You´re too sweet with Haruka ..." Catherine turned to see her other offspring, as well as the twin named Haruka.

In the doorway stood a boy the same age as his daughter, with an equally round face , but a more oval chin , 1.10m tall with bright orange hair that seemed to have come out of a fierce storm with locks scattered everywhere, he had light skin somewhat tanned, he wore a black Hakama and a white T-shirt.

He had the same blue eyes as his sister and father, but lacked the joyous, innocent look of his sister. Having a more serious one trying to look stern and the same sister had big fox ears and a fox tail the color of her hair.

The mother of the child laughed amusedly left the bed to hug her son burying the infant's head in his chest who grunted looking to the side trying to hide his blush causing another laugh from his mother.

" Koichi darling, you know that if you want mom to pamper you, you just have to say it" his son puffed out his cheeks as he crossed his arms trying to be serious, pulling away a little hug from his mother.

" Mother ... I'm the man of the house. I can't afford those luxuries like Haruka, I have to ..." Catherine moved faster than her son could have anticipated and took him with both arms to cradle him with his head right in her heart.

" Ahhh my little boy, your father would be proud now if he saw you, but you don't have to pretend like that right now ... let yourself be calm son ..."

Catherine began to ruffle her son's hair as she knew the young man liked it.

"Mother ... no ..." the eyes of the male of the family began to give in to his mother's caresses until they were completely closed and the so-called Koichi entered the dream realm to his mother's laughter.

" My proud fool ... you are just like your uncle Kazuya ... both tough heads" somewhere in a forest a man felt an insult to his person from his younger sister.

He calmly left his son next to his sister to leave the room going down the stairs, it was a good day to pamper his little ones with some of their favorite dishes. When he got to the second floor, he took a moment to take a good look around his home.

Going down the stairs he saw a narrow corridor that led him in two different directions.

The walls were made of polished black wood , as well as the floor, the left wall was adorned with different paintings, including landscapes of mountains, meadows, one in particular showed a golden-colored fox with 7 tails that moved from side to side. another on a background of sunflowers.

The right wall had a series of furniture, including white wooden drawers with reliefs in the shape of foxes, then a full-length white wooden mirror with gold-colored border lines.

He walked past that corridor and turned right to enter the room where different objects that marked his life awaited him.

The room was 15m wide and 10m long, with different memories of various past adventures.

In particular, she noticed an exquisite work on a piece of furniture, it was a northern Honoristy style sword, sheathed in its white sheath that was edged with golden lines that went from the tip to the part that came next to the guard, the edge of the sheath itself was scarlet while the strap that would fit in the preferred part was white leather from a reptile from a past adventure.

The handle of the weapon was for the use of one or two hands of a white color with rubies on the edges until the end that was adorned with a golden gem in the center.

The single weapon cost 30,000,000 of the gold coins denominated [ Grandeurs ] . Not to mention the name of Honoristy Amakusa's national hero who forged it and not to mention that it was worn by Catherine Songstricke.

Adding up all the important factors would take the cost to only be covered by some nobleman from the higher spheres of any part of Honoristy, if he thought of selling it the money would be enough to never worry about money.

Above the Sword was the painting of a man who only showed his face on a black background, an attractive face in his 20-30s with red hair combed back, with tanned skin on his oval face with a square jaw , with serious eyes with deep blue irises.

In the painting he had a somewhat confident smile as he looked at the painter.

Her husband Amakusa.

He smiled sweetly before realizing the loneliness he felt in his heart, he swallowed hard as he took a calm step.

She approached the weapon with some fear until she touched the handle of it, it had been the weapon that her husband had made for one of his most memorable and dangerous battles.

The memory of the night he gave it to him brought him back to the days when he had been a rookie, someone incapable of doing practically anything on his own.

The relationship had evolved from a simple superior teaching a rookie how to survive one of the most difficult professions in the world to that of a married couple settled in a house in the most comfortable commoner countryside in the world.

They had been adventurers.

They were a group specialized in a type of activities of a nature that no type of order force or organization at the service of the state could do or they did not have the time to do so.

Unlike the so - called mercenaries who were limited to a simple action that used to be a mission of murder, the adventurer s they used unlike previous carry out a contract that could range from pest control, hunting dangerous animals for life from normal people to treasure gathering.

She herself was a veteran of such missions, with more high levels of an organization that was levels:

The white color for newbies.

Silver - for regulars.

Pink - Advanced Regulars.

Red - Experts.

Orange - Professionals.

Gold - Veterans.

It was an organization that was managed by a brotherhood in a dome of the most experienced and known of its members at a round table. Catherine had once belonged to it as her husband, but her lack of preparation for politics had cost her almost her life and her place on the board alongside her husband.

Which is why he had preferred the retreat in the quiet countryside of the country, to politics of whatever kind, he sighed after those memories, noticing the rest of what lay in his home.

There was a painting valued at 50,000,000 that a painter had made of her sitting in a chair while her husband had his hand on her shoulder, both in clothes in the style of the wealthy classes of Honoristy of the South, with the background of a room of be of a noble friend of them.

A series of furniture such as the wood-colored varnished chairs with red wine cushions, tables with flower reliefs on the sides of all the drawers and contour, vases that were gifts from powerful allies who appreciated the couple.

A wooden clock at least 2m with its tick-tock welcomed him into the living room marking the time as 7:57 am, where a round black wooden table with a white tablecloth on top of which was a basket of peaches, fresh apples and pears.

He noticed the red brick fireplace, with a black metal grate, with charcoal in it, next to it was a wooden object that reminded him of distant memories , accompanied by a man with reddish hair and a smile. large with sharp teeth.

It was a reddish wood piano, with golden lines all over the open box, with golden reliefs in the shape of bunches of grapes, golden apples, rows of black silver.

The memories of her father led her to sit in the matching chair in front of the musical instrument and with rapid movements of the fingers, to quickly sing a melody from her collection, the one that was the exclusive secret of the family, songs that had been passed from her father to her. .

After you finish singing a song that had always seemed sad he was up a few seconds later had been deducted from his time to cook so she went in haste to where to go.

The kitchen had white walls where the white wooden drawers were carved in the shapes of swords that protected the hands, he opened one by taking out slices of black and white bread with sesame seeds.

It was up to where they used to preserve everything. A metal box with a bar to open it, from there he took out some pieces of meat, the cold air of the object reached his face and he remembered a distant adventure at one point.

A pine forest frozen by ice, a gray sky with a lot of snow on the tops, snow all the way and a group of 5 chasing a very dangerous monster.

He remembered the jokes about bloodsucking, complaints about little coat against the cold, wanting to hug tails from Vultlev and something about an idiot incapable of making a fire who did not threaten to consume them entirely.

A small giggle left her lips as she returned to the present.

I take some rice in a cup to pour it into a black pot, then pour the water over the meat and carry it over to a burner to open the metal box below it, with several pieces of tree that immediately lit up with a wiggling of the girl's hands that resulted in sparks on the wood.

" I'm out of practice ... Home life really does affect" Catherine said and the sound of the door being knocked caught her attention.

He walked slowly down the hall to the white wooden door to open it and his tails bristled with bad temper as the pupil of his eyes grew sharp.

He was a middle-aged man with wavy blond hair, an elongated face with an expression of superiority in him, blue eyes the color of the sky, he wore shimmering silver armor carrying a sheathed sword on his back and a medium shield on his left arm.

He was waiting for the Vultlev to open , he was followed by a duo of girls who looked at Catherine with a smile, the same for the boy. Catherine took little time to remember who that strange and annoying subject was.

He was a nobleman from a small family who had taken the role of adventurer, while the 2 girls one was an elf and the other a human who served as companions.

They were both blondes with brown eyes.

The human wore a white dress with a book in her right hand while holding a white wooden staff with her left hand, she looked at 17 years old with a mushroom-shaped hair on her round childlike face, her body had curves yet to be developed.

The elf wore a maid outfit in the style of the south of the country as now, with her hair tied in a high ponytail, she carried on her back a bow with a quiver full of arrows.

" Bonjour Miss Catherine, how was your day? Won't you feel lonely for…? "

"Adieu "

Catherine directly closed the door to the boy who seemed in love with her, or with pretensions of some relationship.

He was about to return to his kitchen by the time they knocked on the door again, he sighed deeply and opened it again.

"Tell me what you want?" the tone did not bode well for the man who in his ignorance continued to smile.

" First it is not good that you slam the door on someone like me, do you know who I am? Certain?"

" I don't care much, but ... what do you want?"

" How rude, it concerns a son of the Etoidi house "

"If you respect your position ..."

Both of the young man's companions said and Catherine fell on the symbol on the young man's shield, a copper Shovel with a black background.

He was the youngest of a small noble family that had control of the borders by sea of ​​that region of the country, but for her that was irrelevant, he had quickly passed the threshold of nobles without pride to be in the lines of the battle without quarter that was politics.

" I am not to attend to such a low rung on the ladder of power, the same goes for you girls ... you are on a ladder too far from mine" Catherine dismissed the young man bored at her door.

He had met the head of the Foix-Grailly family, the most influential family in the southern region of the country while in terms of ability to fight.

The sound of something shooting out alerted the Vultlev who lowered her head in time to avoid the attack of one of the females, who with her outstretched hand had thrown some small daggers, which were nailed near a painting painted by her artist friend where she was holding her daughter a few months old .

Catherine's pupils became totally predatory, calmly reverting to an upright posture with her tails moving sideways like snakes looking for prey.

" Do not underestimate our family or our group, we are proud in our strength" The human said with a superior tone as she opened her book and raised her staff.

" What you said, we are stronger than that ..."

To the surprise of them and the nobleman without the Vultlev woman doing anything, not even a slightest movement of her hands, face or legs so that the woman appeared behind them with her hair blowing in the wind.

"Silence girls" his tone was so icy that a chill ran down the back of the young women, when they turned to the woman they found the coldest and emotionless eyes that they would have had the misfortune to know.

" What are they strong? What do not underestimate them? What arrogant girls… they need discipline like the Songstricke " Catherine had never in her life used that smile that she inherited from her father as in that situation.

Her teeth seemed to sharpen, her pupils suddenly lost their shine, an ear-to-ear smile that threatened to split her face was on her, she raised a hand up to her face as she reached out towards them with a bit of fire coming out of it. , it was clear that an aura of terror would come out behind her that gave more of an incredible warning to them or just an unconscious aura to scare them away.

The fox tails moved like entities with a mind of their own, uncontrollably threatening which snakes their prey were preparing to pounce.

The two females took a few steps back as the sweat came out of all the pores on their body, they held each other while trembling, the nobleman stood in the middle of them with his arms outstretched.

" Please forgive these faults, it is not our intention to disrespect you"

Catherine looked at the Young man with pure indifference, this one no matter what happened to him in the final shaking his wavy blond hair wanting to look cool, but Catherine did not like it. Then the same boy knelt extending his hand towards Catherine, wanting to make a scene… romantic?

" I would like to ask you if we could go eat something together, madam" a warm smile, adorable look, the boy really wanted to have a date with the Vultlev.

" Since a long time I have been able to observe her, her handsome figure and her beauty when she walks, I have been able to observe when she has been able to eat at outdoor stalls or shopping in stores around, all when I had the opportunity… but I couldn't interrupt because her My heart was taken away by another man who surely was not as professional as I was in the adventure, but now your loss hurts inside me and that you have stayed here in this commoner house " the boy kept talking without pause, Catherine only caused him more disgust until she spoke of her late husband with those words that caused a protruding vein in his face showing anger with their straight and bristling tails to continue raising his right hand in the form of a fist looking threateningly at the subject.

" Did he say anything about my dear late husband?" Catherine's anger was evident, the young nobleman looked at him while a drop of sweat fell from his face as he repeated what he said.

" I said her late husband was not as good as I can be…" A strong sonic punch was aimed at the man's face by Catherine, he was propelled a few meters away with a very noticeable punch mark on his face. , but before hitting a nearby wall, the woman appeared to land another blow on the man's cheek without injury, who ended up nailed to the ground.

Catherine gasped as she looked with utter hatred at that man, her eyes filled with pyre anger fixed on the man's dirty shield.

The 2 girls with him, the human and the elf looked at him worried and then saw the woman with some anger.

" How dare you hit ..."

"He has insulted my husband and has approached my door so freely for this"

Catherine was somewhat more controlled, although yes, she realized that she was aggressive with the boy, she just sighed and backed off

" I apologize for that, but I really don't want it in my life, please go elsewhere and get on with your life, you have nothing to claim with me, I want to live a peaceful life with my children, and I already have everything I need. , I do not need anything else"

Catherine was about to close the door until the man raised his voice being dramatic.

" Why is your heart closed to someone like me? What do I have to do to win your love Madam Catherine? "

The woman sighed in disgust, brought her hand to her face as she looked the young man up and down.

" Just the way you are disgusts me a little, please I ask you to stop trying with me or I will have to resort to using my connections to push him away" was serious in his tone.

"It's a threat?" the nobleman asked now with a serious tone.

" No ... a promise " Catherine closed the door and by the time she returned to her respective kitchen there was no more response, finally, she found peace again.

So she was going to continue making the meal she planned, a simple but tasty dish, she had mastered the flavors in all that time being a home with her family, retired from adventures.

As the minutes passed I kept thinking, in perhaps returned to their homelands and raise their children there, were Vultlev ' s half - blood mestizos between human and fox, rather than magical foxes as Catherine.

The house impregnated with the delicious smell woke up her children who came down from Catherine's room with a run.

"Take off Koichi silly!" the girl shouted between footsteps that echoed loudly.

"Your first Haruka!" the man of the two cry s back.

The sound of them reached her mother who sighed before screaming loudly as a whitish vapor rose from her body.

" Either you calm down or neither will eat!"

The sound of the brothers stopped then these go down quietly in perfect synchronization of steps, which followed a separation for both sit on your s seats.

The girl sat alone at the long wooden table waiting for her mother to place the plate, nodding little by little the infant ended up falling asleep again, her mother laughed at the image while leaving the plate with the food served right in front of her who smelling the breakfast came to herself.

"Jaa ... how childish Haruka" Koichi on his side remained fully awake and without signs of much sleep, to which his twin stuck her tongue out and he responded with the same gesture.

" Enough of you two! No fights in the food!"

" Yes mom! / Understood mother! " Both children said before preparing to attack the food.

" L as prayers my children first" Unintentionally Catherine sounded like her mother while her children stopped to dedicate their prayers, when the girl finished the two shouted loudly:

" Breakfast!" The girl with few manners began to eat everything on her plate, she finished faster than her mother could have expected, Catherine herself sighed when she realized that her daughter was as impatient when it came to eating as she was at her age.

She took her own food calmly like her son who took all the peace of mind while carrying out all the manners necessary for a nobleman, by the time they finished the girl had taken a series of white papers with numbers, letters and symbols of different Catherine smiled when she saw her daughter laying down to separate the papers and begin to complete her tasks.

She sighed as she sat quietly in the kitchen to watch him carefully. It was in itself a carbon copy of her with the only difference being having her father's eyes, while her son calmly got up from his seat to take his plate to clean them.

"I'll make some mother tea"

" Okay darling, don't overdo it"

Her son had come out with his father's eyes , but with a mixture of both her maternal grandfather and herself, she sighed thinking that perhaps the influence of her father would be missing, the boy was striving to fill the void that his father had left.

I ramble about her life as a child, her older brother, her younger brother, both parents and mother, as well as what led her to seek her life outside of her native country.

She thought about the past as an adventurer, remembering every moment of some adventure that brought her to the brink of death to emerge victorious over incredible dangers , as well as the fame and fortunes accumulated by each of those feats that were engraved in the hearts of all those. that helped.

I sigh to start housework.

The passage of the morning was the common of her life, during the years as a simple housewife had had the time to get the expected tranquility of her dream of having a normal life, her daughter lying in the living room completed a series of typical tasks for human children of their age.

Catherine stopped immediately remembering an important point of what she intended to do with everyone's lives.

Children's opinion.

" Haruka, Koichi please come" the name of her daughter was typical of the area East of Honoristy as well as the name of the mother of her late husband, the girl raised her ears when she caught her mother's voice and with a movement he quickly got up to run towards her.

"Mom ~ Look I'm done!" Haruka collided with her mother's belly who smiled, looking down to see her son's face flushed with joy.

"Yes? Let me see… " The mother took the papers to inspect them carefully.

Her eyes suddenly widened as she realized that every answer from her daughter was more than correct, even the ones she supposedly shouldn't know yet, she let out a gasp of astonishment and smiled with joy, before taking her by the arms. her little one to bump cheeks with her.

" My little Haruka is a genius ~ that swallow the Nobles of Vultlev'az and Honoristy that say children m edia blood born with defects" women spent the next three minutes hitting his cheek s against her daughter.

" Mother here he is ready for you, another time pampering him too much right?" Koichi with a porcelain tray with several cups arrived with an expression of few friends, followed by his sister's notes.

" Haruka, it would be more effective if the novice magic amplification formula did not have that convergence" Koichi said with a calm tone of voice as her mother released her daughter to run towards her son.

" My Koichi is also a genius! In their dirty racist faces! "

"Mother no! You embarrass me!" the boy received the affection of his mother with shame.

By the time her offspring stopped she had an expression of curious doubt at the unusual seriousness of her mother who kept repeating in a low voice "My children are geniuses, my children are geniuses"

"Mom ... Is something wrong?" Catherine stopped from her reverie to look seriously at her daughter.

The mother gulped, it had been a while since the last time she had to do that ... say something difficult, the last time was when she had to explain that her father would never return from where he had gone.

" Haruka ... Do you want to meet your Grandmother?" She had chosen her words with great care since her daughter was quite good with sensitive subjects, everything she should have learned if she wanted to survive among the nobles with all that intrigue.

" Mom ... that my grandmother was not a high-ranking noble in the Vultlev country where we come from and that means that if we return there that we cannot leave as we entered? So ... you say that volveremo never s where Papa is sleeping ... " Haruka had its ears and tail falls to realize the full implications that if her mother.

Catherine was extremely quiet for a few moments, her daughter was everything her mother and father would have wanted from her. Intelligent, he knew what it took to intrigue and was easily able to spot the ulterior motives of others.

"I would not mind doing it to me" both mother and daughter turned to the male of the place, who had a serious expression .

" It does not matter who is in my way, it does not matter if it is a God or a Devil, not even if it is the disease that took father ... I will burn everything until I don't even leave the ashes, I protected them, my mother, I will life " Koichi for a few minutes had behind him the figure of two men that Catherine knew.

The first was an attractive Vultlev man with smooth blood red hair with eyes of the same tint of a mischievous / Malignant look with a sickly pale skin, he wore a black suit with red details with a red tie, the most that stood out from that projection It was his…

Smile from ear to ear with sharp teeth that intimidated the moment you saw him.

The second projection was a human man with disheveled reddish hair, beautiful blue eyes with a serious but warm look, without a shirt showing his worked body, a black glove that reached from the hand to the shoulder without the fingers, with a black Hakama and in his left hand a Bastard sword with the black edge.

It was both her father and her husband, she sighed realizing that they were both there and at the same time they weren't.

Their happiness was there with them.

He walked over to his son and ruffled his hair with a hint of mischief.

"You are made a man son ... Someday the girls will fall before you" the boy's mother said with a smile as he puffed out his cheeks with his pink tint on them, quite embarrassed.

Then Catherine separated from her son to bend down to hug her daughter tightly, tears came from her eyes as she found herself with the truth that if she returned to Vultlev'az she might never see that home again, sigh knowing that to cry It would lead to nothing, she took her children in her arms to carry her and with a voice that pretended to be happy she said:

"What if we had lunch out today ... I'm sure the restaurant will always have its favorites", she knew well that her daughter was able to see behind that false joy, but the girl only saw him with her big blue orbs and then smiled, letting her see his perfect teeth.

"Sure Mom!" Haruka hugged her mother back while giggling little giggles.

" It 's okay ..." he said the man unconvinced.

" Very good, but first take a good bath, while I'll change"

Catherine low her children ran to her room to change, she smiled at that, led a happy life but could change at any time.

She went to the second floor to go to her room where she got rid of the outfit that she wore in her home life, seeing her figure in her underwear, despite having given birth to two children and having a time without exercising, she had been able to maintain her youthful figure .

A small laugh of pride filled her lips, she was satisfied to continue being beautiful, after dedicating herself to contemplate her figure, she noticed by her bed her old chest where her old clothing rested, she approached carefully to where she was to open it.

The largest pieces of cloth in the chest was a red one, I take it with both hands to spread it on his bed to see it carefully remembering times of adventure.

It was a red one-piece dress. For the lower part it had a long skirt that reached after the knees, remaining in the middle of the leg with openings at the beginning of both thighs to allow better mobility.

On the dress she used to wear her traveling capes and her cape for sleeping in the open, the first white being the longest of the two and the second black.

In their time use stockings black cloth that reached the final of the thighs black, with a s black boots of leather of any animal, for his waist was about two belts where tying different objects of need, along with a third belt that will go through his chest for his sword.

For the upper part of her body she had long and loose sleeves that held her almost to the wrists, with a simple turtleneck, the right shoulder of her dress was the shield of her family that consisted of the silhouette of a sword. vertically with a musical note on the left side of the guard of the weapon together with a solo on the right side of the grip All in a golden color on a red background.

After seeing him for a few seconds, she folded it again to put it in its place, sigh tired of the memories, the other suit was a red priestess uniform like her mother's, then she remembered her plans with her children and hurried .

It was a moment until she was in front of the door dressed in a simple white tank dress with a sun hat, her daughter in a matching outfit, and her son in a black shirt under a white Haori with a black Hakama.

"Very good guys to the town ..." their children nodded at what their mother said.

The summer heat received them with a strong sun, both children smiled at the sight of a group of butterflies of different colors going and coming from one place to another, a few passers-by with some dogs or cats, the elderly, young people, adults and children walking calmly without problems.

The streets of the town were cobbled, the other houses shared a design similar to his, the oil lamps were off but some still gave off some bluish flames.

Many of the uprising inhabitants gave greetings to the mother with her children as they were a fisherman with his merchandise in a cart.

" Our national heroine is always a beautiful sight, yes gods, and blessed be the children of it" the man passed by saying it with great encouragement .

After the man said , the many villagers approached, an old woman took the mother's hands while giving her a smile of pure happiness.

" The gods bless you Lady Catherine, my son was saved by you in the battle of Saint Creillex ... Not a day goes by that my lady does not thank you"

Catherine smiled thinking that she understood that feeling, her children were the most important thing to her, she calmly responded to the woman taking her hands as well.

" I just did my duty ma'am, but I'm glad you didn't lose someone important to you that day ..."

" … She is a Saint… Le Saint Catherine! Le Saint Catherine! " the woman, shedding tears from her eyes, began to scream full of joy and moved by the words of the Vultlev.

" My grandfather said that when the water from a big wave came to destroy the city He heard the sound of a trumpet and the water stopped… the one who blew the trumpet was Lady Catherine! Long live Lady Catherine! " a boy accompanied by his grandfather yelled loudly as the old man nodded.

" She and her husband stopped a group that wanted to destroy the poor families of Ho Noristy, LE SAINT! LE SAINT! " She cries a woman with more force.

" Those are your children… Future Heroes of Honoristy! Live!" another boy said forcefully.

" Her daughter was a beauty like her! Just look at her! "

" Your son is so adorable! He will be a heartbreaker in the future! " a teenage girl said causing a blush in the boy who growled with an indecipherable expression.

"Mother!" Koichi screamed in sheer embarrassment with his tails retracting and his ears lowered.

" Oh yeah! I am popular! " Haruka raised her arms joyfully with her tail flapping.

" Well ... that 's fine, my children and I will go and do our business" Catherine nervously was calm as she took the hands of both children to walk away.

Catherine turned away from the small mob that had formed, sighing when she walked a distance she had a nervous smile.

" People who are grateful can be a bit intense at times, they should understand that those people only thank Mom for everything ... and I think now we are close to the mayor's office"

The mayoralty was a building that tried to emulate a mansion of at least 30m high, of white bricks, with a roof of blue tiles with golden ornaments in the shape of bells, of the windows of black wooden frames, with a large black grill that separated the grounds of the mayor's office with those of the rest of the street, even from a distance you could see the closed blue wooden door being guarded by 2 young women.

Catherine felt a slight migraine when she saw the young girls in maid's garments very cut off with skirts and showing a plunging neckline.

" Koichi please take care of your sister for a moment please"

The male raised his chest with pride as he smiled with some arrogance at his sister who saw him with slight annoyance puffing up her cheeks in an adorable way.

" Understood Mother, did you hear Haruka ... I'm in charge now" At that moment Koichi had the same teeth as his grandfather while smiling evilly at his twin.

Catherine didn't know whether to worry or not but she didn't have time for it.

At a trusting pace, he walked by being greeted by the servants who saw him go to the door to continue knocking with a reluctant spirit .

"Who are you?" A female voice asked from the other side of the door.

"Catherine, National Hero" after that the door opened showing a young black-haired woman with the typical maid outfit and a tired face.

"... Are you coming to kill him?" It was obvious that young Catherine was disgusted by the existence of the mayor who had a certain reputation with the female gender .

" Unfortunately, not yet ... I have a matter that deals with him " the young servant opened the door fully to let him pass and Catherine, taking a step inside the place, felt a shudder of disgust.

The house was full of paintings, statues and a bronze bust made of the mayor that was what was in the center of the room that led to the mayor's office, with a rather disgusted face Catherine took a moment to process that face.

He was fat with a giant double chin, a few strands of his curly hair remained that covered the sides of his head with a small circle in the center of the nape. His face was full of boils and pimples that gave the touch next to the small mustache that he had on his lips that emulated the hairs of a rat.

Catherine's face turned into an expression of deep disgust, she took a deep breath and with a brisk step ran towards the mahogany door with the man's face carved in the wood and the hands.

Catherine's brain wanted to refuse to touch something that looked remotely like this man, so her head took her straight to the basics of what the world called magic.

It was the expression of an energy that is generated by the soul that the gods had placed in every thinking being in the world, it was normally controlled by the heartbeat, which also determined your affinity with one of the existing elements.

Through this external force, different types of feats were carried out that could be engraved forever in human history despite its limitations, the soul was something imperishable but the energy it produced to carry out magic had its limits .

The so-called Ether energy.

The origin of magical power, that which allowed all the species chosen by the creator Gods to be able to carry the known feats that with their bodily limits they could not, he sighed based on the thought in that way to be able to distract themselves until he realized that he had to do it anyway.

He knocked on the door for one of the few spaces that did not have any reference to the man's face, seconds later he followed the sound of a groan to continue a deep gasp along with the sound of something crawling.

"Oh ... no ..." the woman mentioned wearily, followed by the door being opened and the horror of that bust was overshadowed by the true face of the man in front of her.

He had greasy earth-colored skin, dirty green eyes, he wore a blue jacket that was too small for him under a sky-colored shirt, black boots with gold buckles at the toe. The appearance was completed by the man's morbidly happy expression.

" Lady Catherine, this great pleasure! What do I owe it to?! Has she found in her heart the idea of ​​forgetting her late husband and embracing a life of uncompromising sex starting with her beloved mayor! " the happiness in each sentence out of her disgusting imagination made Catherine feel another chill.

The Vultlev sighed before with a quiet hiss to which the man was left with a blank expression on his face before getting up off the ground.

" Very good Agrave ... I think we've reached the point where I can't help but feel disgusted in your presence and I require an illusion to be able to carry a slightly normal conversation with you ..." Catherine sighed before pointing to the office desk

"I need you to sign the papers that will allow me to take my children without any authority causing me problems ... stupid politics" the man nodded with a distracted face and sat down at the desk to carry out those orders .

The woman took the moment to observe the rest of the office, several bookshelves full of the expected objects, that was the only decent thing in the room, the rest was an ode to the perversion of its owner.

Pictures, tapestries of very rich materials, small figures and others that alluded to the sexual act, which Catherine with all her self-control happened to take from a book to open it to take a mental photo of the image printed in front of her.

"..." Catherine closed the book tightly before burning it without any delicacy.

"Here it is ..." the man said showing a sheet of paper that showed a series of complicated words along with an official seal of the mayor.

"Well that was pretty fast , " Catherine looked at the man who was with a happy smile and perverted knowing that the man deserved punishment.

He had locked him in an illusion that would give him his most longed-for dream, that by looking at his pants he knew how to determine the nature of that dream, he sighed before retracting his right arm and then extending it with an accurate punch to the jaw of the man who lost several teeth while bleeding from the blow to fall unconscious to the ground.

The woman calmly stretched her muscles and then left the room closing the doors behind her with a fresh smile, in which the same maid who had received her arrived with an expression of doubt.

" Lady Catherine, has something happened? There was a loud bang throughout the house. " The blonde Vultlev smiled like a sun.

" Beat your boss until he gets his teeth out ... you can leave him there until he bleeds out or wakes up, whichever comes first" Catherine said to continue on her way and leave while another servant arrived with her companion.

"What has happened?"

" A heroine sent by the Gods has done some justice, Be blessed forever ... be blessed forever ..." said the servant in a solemn tone.

Catherine who left that house and sighed when she saw her children playing with a group of rabbits if Haruka was holding three on her left arm while Koichi carried four.

" Come on sister, I'm winning by one ... try to beat me" Koichi said as he went after another of the rabbits who tried to flee.

The young redhead concentrated on a brown one that separated from the rest of the pack to try to catch him, but in a bad move he slipped, remaining inches from hitting the ground.

" Be careful my son ... never rush" Catherine was holding her son by the waist who saw him surprised before puffing up his cheeks and looking away "Just like your uncle Kazuya" Catherine hugged him fully making sure that her son feel the beating of your heart.

"Mother ..." Koichi hearing his mother's heart beat closed his eyes to enjoy the moment.

" Shss ... is well my son, nothing will hurt you ... l promise" Catherine said quietly to his son, then he nodded as he eyes closed.

"I miss Papa ... mom, let's go somewhere else ... whatever it was doesn't matter ... let's just go ..." Koichi said with weariness in his voice.

" I know son, I miss your father too, but now only you in patience everything will work out" Catherine caressed her son's hair delicately and he laughed.

"I understand mother, I understand" Koichi said and felt something strange in the environment.

" Ohohoho ... my dear and serious older brother has been reduced to being pampered like any child in this world, but what a terrible truth, there is no such thing as a serious older brother" Haruka mocking her brother smiled as he approached.

" Hmm ... as the older brother I must have a way to deal with stress ... this is my way sister, of course a pampered girl gives as you would never understand" Koichi still in his mother's arms said with a condescending expression.

" Umm ... they arrogate you that you never accept defeat" the girl murmured crossing her arms as she puffed out her cheeks looking away.

" There never was such a loss to my sister, there never was" Koichi said with an arrogant smile.

The mother of the two sighs somewhat exhausted because of that, to stop the discussion a bit, she hugged her son tightly to stop him and then she saw her daughter with a sideways smile.

" Very well you two, you are both mature, but you will never stop being my babies, no matter what" the mother closed one of her eyes looking with the other at her two offspring who blushed at those words.

"Mother! / Mommy!" Catherine put Koichi on the ground still smiling mischievously.

" Come on my babies, we have many things to do"

The family of three began their march calmly, at every step an inhabitant of the town offered them a calm greeting, an old man with hair and a white mustache sitting on a bench smiled when he saw the children go by.

" May the gods bless you n Catherine and also you kids , " the old man told the family that step calmly.

"And to you Lord Augustus" Koichi said calmly dedicating the pose of a prayer.

" Miss Catherine ... are you planning something for today?" The old man saw them with a grandfather smile that caused a smile of sympathy in mother and daughter.

" At the moment not much sir, I will just check the letters from the mail tower, and we will eat outside" said this by the mother the man nodded calmly before smiling.

" Very good young lady, but don't forget to take a moment to be at peace with your children… young people go in a great hurry" Catherine decided to leave the man without telling him that she was much older than him.

"So shall it be, Mr. Augusto" Catherine took her children's hands and began to walk.

His objective was at that time a white stone tower of at least 20m that from a distance you could see a group of different birds arriving with messages for all those who had a way to send and receive mail.

"Are we going to see Sunrise?" Haruka asked in a slightly anxious tone of voice as she hugged her mother's leg with a tender expression, to which Catherine smiled.

" That's right, we will also send letters to all our relatives" Catherine decided to pamper her daughter by taking her in her arms.

"Comfortable my princess?"

"Yes mom!" Haruka raised her arms in excitement to which her mother laughed as the Male crossed his arms, which brought a malicious smile to his mother.

"A little run, son!" the mother ran away while her son took time to process what was happening running a few minutes behind his mother.

"That's not fair mother!" Koichi running after his mother only received the laughter of mother and daughter "Damn, I'm going to lose" the redhead noticed that unfair advantage that his mother and sister had.

" Well then we will all win! my son!" Catherine turned around to take her son with one arm while her daughter rested on the other, with a smile Haruka welcomed her brother who after a small pout also smiled.

Thus the mother with both sons on each arm ran with an expression of joy, until they reached the open entrance of the tower where was a young human with blond hair wearing the light base armor of Honoristy of the South.

The man in question immediately knelt in the presence of the Vultlev, who recognized him by giving him a friendly, understanding smile.

"Lady Catherine ... it is an honor to see you after so much" the man spoke taking a hand of the woman who sighed.

" Marius ... you've grown a lot in these years, please get up" Catherine smiled when the man obeyed.

"Lady Catherine, it's always good to see you, tell me if I can be of any use to your person" the man gave a kind smile to the woman who sighed with some pity.

He was one of those children who together with her husband had trained in the use of the sword and magic. The first time she had met Marius, he was about 15 years old as well as being a skinny young man .

Now she was an exemplary soldier of her country with a muscle worthy of her time of service in addition to having improved physically, her late husband had put that in the minds of the young recruits, although it had been achieved that all the recruits were idolizing her husband and possibly her too.

" All good Marius, now I'm just going to check my mail" she said with a complicated expression as her children hid behind her.

The man nodded before seeing how from the way Catherine came a group of soldiers came panting from their trot.

" Well Lady Catherine will leave you, I have responsibilities to attend to. Anyone who vomits will eat their own vomit !" They are clear idiots! " the one called Marius dedicated a military salute to his former teacher to go to the group of soldiers .

" Well, at least it didn't cause another incident ..." Catherine felt her daughter tug at her leg making her look down "Is something wrong, Haruka?" his daughter looked at him doubtfully.

" Mom, why does this always happen with the people you have helped? Does everyone act like that with you mom because you are good and teach things, right? ¿Cua ndo have a normal life? " Haruka asked and Catherine had to think it over carefully.

During her years as an adventurer, she had come to win the love of many people only with her actions, counting the heroic acts that she had come to carry out in order to help.

Together all that brought him the greatest loves that normal people feel toward a hero or heroine.

Without adding that his time as an instructor of the soldiers of the kingdom, as a teacher at one of the universities of magic most known of the country and its s connections with the nobility of Honoristy.

He had a nervous tic as he realized that he must expect idolatry from both the people he had saved and those he had instructed, he sighed as he looked into his daughter's eyes.

" Daughter, I have helped many, they just show their gratitude in such a ... effusive way, you sure remember that the same thing happened to your father , right?" Both boys nodded to remembering that his father had the same problems " And normal life, quiet s ... it will then leave here ..." I was not sure of that last, but at the least it would be more quiet than the life led by now.

The family finally entered the tower noticing the floor covered in hay and bird feces, the two children raised their heads to see the countless bird nests on the walls, as well as the non-existent roof that allowed the morning sun to pass through.

When Koichi was going to say something the dark shadow of something on them stopped him, followed by the sound of a loud squawk that scared the rest of the birds in their respective nests, Haruka smiled as she extended her arms to the sky.

From above the whole place was covered by a giant shadow of some bird, along with a strong heat that after moments was going down.

"Sunrise!" The girl yelled with a smile, I wait for the full appearance of the bird.

The giant black figure was losing size until it was large enough to enter and once there it released flames positioning itself next to Koichi who took steps to the sides to avoid coming into contact with the bird.

It was majestic in simple words. It was yellow in color starting with the plumage of the beak gradually degrading to orange as it descended towards its long feathers that formed its deep orange tail.

His eyes were golden with a reflection of the light in his irises, his long and sharp claws took some bones from the ground to turn them into dust of the force.

" Bird of evil ..." Koichi whispered taking steps back as Catherine laughed to notice a series of letters on her other leg on her bird's leg.

"Sunrise, come here" the bird obeyed calmly approaching his mistress and then showing her the paw with the letters "Good girl, let me see" the mother took the letters carefully, noting the symbols on the seals on each closed letter.

"Sunrise" Haruka hugged the bird that squawked with joy from the caresses of the girl who also laughed " good phoenix, good phoenix ... good girl "

" Haruka, don't go near that evil beast " Koichi at a distance that he judged to be safe said to his sister who smiled.

" Sunrise is just an old friend of mom, learn to love her Koichi" the bird croaked threateningly to the boy who recoiled in fear.

"Never!"

"Hahaha"

While her children had that exchange she took the distance to check her mail discreetly, the first was of her younger brother.

My dear Sister, I hope your and my nephews are well while.

I continue to mourn the loss of your husband.

Mother is still dealing with some things in politics.

Kazuya is doing well right now and her children are growing up healthy.

Currently if you return home I will wait to give you a visit as it should be.

I leave some goodies for everyone there sister.

With love: Hideki Songstricke.

PS: If you have reconsidered that of selling the sword that your husband made you, let me know later.

Catherine sighed, her brother still had those strange ways of acting, but she smiled realizing that indeed her brother was interested in what was going to happen in the future with their children and she opened the small package with sweets to take two feeling the mint flavor.

Step to the next, nothing more see the seal caused a mild migraine, but opening it decided to see proffered this time.

Dear Catherine Songstricke, The Golden Dawn High Academy of Magical Lore offers for the fifteenth time the position of teacher of our student body.

To this end, they are willing to offer the position of assistant director with a minimum salary of 1,500 Grandeurs per month, plus a life annuity for any research carried out within our facilities.

As a reminder of your appreciation in this institution we leave in your hand a tome of the instigation that was carried out of your abilities and that of your husband.

Atte. : Micheus Fellgrain. Principal of the Golden Dawn School.

Catherine sighed knowing that what the man wrote were desperate offers to have him as a teacher again, which she did not intend. Her time as a teacher had caused a good portion of Honoristy's scientific and wizarding community to be at least 20 years ahead of her.

He had helped a country that had been antagonistic to his homeland on some occasions, he sighed moving on to the next letter from a friend, which caused him a smile.

Dear Catherine Songstricke.

Greetings and appreciation for you.

For your children blessings and health.

And for your lost comfort and love of yours.

The Foix-Grailly house offers a helping hand to your family at any time.

I would also like to have a private conversation about state affairs with you, knowing that I can rely on your discretion and ability to solve problems.

My love and my family.

Zephyr Foix-Grailly 120th Head of the Foix-Grailly family.

Your friend.

Catherine sighed, after reading the letters, she stepped closer to her phoenix who bit the fingers of a Koichi who tried to approach with confidence.

" Sunrise ..." the bird approached its owner who caressed her head and then stooped down and tied her cards to her legs, once that was done I caressed the bird's head " one is for my mother, another for the noble Zephyr , and another for the adventurers' guild… by the way here. " Catherine offered him one of her brother's sweets in the palm of her hand.

The bird squawked with joy before ingesting the sweet, the mother smiled before the bird rose with a happy song on the ground with a wave of its wings and then rose to leave the tower.

"Bye Sunrise!" Haruka dismissed the bird while Koichi muttered something.

" Well my children, let's finish for today, time to go eat" Catherine smiled at her children.

The family left the tower. Following their walk along the main road, a couple with two children crossed paths with the three Vultlevs who stopped to give their greetings.

"Good morning Catherine" the mother of the other family gave a smile that the woman corresponded with an equal one.

" Good morning, " the woman's girl stepped forward holding a rag doll in a pink dress.

"Haruka let's play later ~" he said with an amused tone.

"Yes ~" Haruka waved her arms like they were whips.

"Koichi ..." The child of the family said the name of Catherine's son with some rancor.

" Kid whose name I do not care" Koichi with a cocky smile he replied.

" Koichi! I'm really sorry, my son can be rude when he wants to. " Catherine pulled her son's ear to which he remained serious.

" Don't apologize mother, he was the idiot who pushed Haruka and said "Dirty animal " Koichi said with anger pointing at the other boy to which his mother stopped pulling his ear.

" Ohohoho, seriously, Very interesting kid… tell me have you ever seen a pureblood Vultlev upset?" Catherine lowered herself until she was level with the boy who noticed the woman's huge breasts rather than the apparently sweet smile she gave him.

"Eh ... no ... no ma'am ..." the boy passed from the breasts to the face of the woman who opened her eyes showing her slit pupils that made her annoyance clear.

"You don't want to see him boy" he said with a tone of contained anger and the boy recoiled with doubt.

" Hey Bitch, watch your words with my son…! " The father of the family stopped when he received a triple glance of sharp pupils from the mother and her children that made him take a step back with genuine fear.

" Well I think we should continue mother ..." Koichi said with a smile of clear superiority passing to one side of the human family.

"See you" Haruka waved her hand with a smile as they continued on their way.

The family calmly crossed the streets of the city until they reached a bridge where a long line of people could be seen waiting to cross.

"Excuse me sir, what is it?" Catherine approached a man who was staring forward in annoyance.

" A silly Saleswoman got caught halfway through and now we have to wait for her mask to pass elsewhere"

Catherine turned to the side to get a better look at the person with the problem.

It was a girl with a cart full of loaves with difficulty being unable to move it blocking the path of all those who wanted to, the Vultlev sighed before approaching the girl, to what she is seeing so closely stop trying to push forward.

" A Vultlev ... please do not turn me into fox food with your magic" the girl trembling said to Catherine who was left with doubt when she saw that other of those irrational lies spread among the commoners.

" I just want to help you girl, step aside please" the girl with fear nodded to make room for the woman who with less effort made the car move smoothly " Well I think you can continue ... " the blonde stayed watching as the girl knelt in front of her.

" Ohh powerful Vultlev this humble human thanks your assistance, take one of my best bread as a reward please" the girl offered a giant bread to the mother who looked at him with doubt before taking the bread and continuing on her way with her children.

The water under the bridge was crystal clear and the idea of ​​a picnic near the creek was quite tempting, perhaps for his last day in the country he would.

Crossing the bridge they reached the wide area of ​​the town, with many buildings of the classic architecture of the Southerners, from light to garish colors. The typical cobbled street with a variety of people walking.

Right in the center of the square was a beautiful water fountain with a statue of Catherine standing upright in her adventurer outfit as she extended her hand at waist level holding a sword.

A side that his back was a little statue 's biggest her husband who was on his knees holding his sword drawn one while looking forward.

Catherine decided to take the right path to the bazaar of stores where she used to find things of different kinds of things, several stores of which she had become an active shopper with her husband and children.

"Mom, is hot!"

By the time they reached the town square it was already noon so the heat was at its peak, under his gaze noticing the beads of sweat on his daughter's forehead, he turned to see his child and noticed the same drops, but he was trying stay as if the heat is not a bother.

" Very who do I think we can go ah ... yes, that will do" Catherine, still holding the hands of her children, led them to a place that had been to the liking of her husband and her.

It was a small shop with light blue fabrics that had a silver plaque over the entrance where the calligraphy of Honoristy del Oriente read "Ice Cream, next to the shop itself was a simple carriage of two white mares with a man with a bushy mustache driving. .

" Mother I think the place is closed" Koichi said before Catherine entered the store anyway.

They noticed the cleared tables, a bar where the diners were supposed to be totally empty and a man dressed in white cloth with a shaved head who noticed them turning around facing them.

He had long eyes and he left the suitcases on the ground after seeing the woman's face in front of him.

" It is time to leave, at the moment we are finally closing" The man said before looking at the newcomer " Ohh ... Lady Catherine, time without seeing her ... those must be her offspring ... without a doubt she lacks a heart, bring the children at the moment when I intend to return home " the man smiled with a grimace of irony along with slight sadness.

Both children looked with doubt at their mother who smiled calmly at them before seeing the man and the suitcases that he put on the floor to bring from the bar a large glass container with a white substance unknown to the children inside.

" This is your favorite flavor if I'm not mistaken" Catherine took the container carefully and smiled a bit sad " For the children ... ummm ... I think I still have samples of strawberry and ... apple flavors for the young man I would say" the man turned around to open one of his suitcases where there were glass containers with that substance, but of different colors.

"It is pink!" Haruka raised hers with a tender smile.

"The Golden Mine" Koichi looked at his carefully.

They both didn't mean to waste time, but before they could open them their mother stopped them with a calm voice.

" Wait ... I don't want you to ruin your appetite before lunch and has business been so bad without my husband and I eating here that you have to go?" He addressed the man who sighed.

" None of that, I was doing quite well despite the racism and sour comments ..." the man stopped noticing the curious gaze of both children and knew he should stop " My brother is coming home after so much and I want to see him, enjoy youngsters " the man smiled at the children who reciprocated.

The man left the store followed by a Catherine with a distant expression watching as he got into the carriage to open a window to speak to him.

" I hope your family reunion is touching Nan Yen" Catherine said with a somewhat sad smile.

" That hope, though Nan Ho was never very expressive with their emotions , " the man smiled " sorry for your loss and ... sincerely hope enjoy of ice cream, going" after I said the man who was driving gave the order and the horses began one calm trot.

Catherine felt a strange emptiness as she followed with her eyes the carriage that was lost in the distance, under her gaze at the container of her sweet. There was a tangible, magically preserved memory of her bond with her husband.

Now it was gone.

There had purposely come because he felt that his heart would weigh on the go without her husband at that store, their'd mind erased the existence of that store with the intention of never more regain the memory s of dating with her love and lost .

She felt lost and alone.

" Now where mother?" Koichi pulled her skirt a little making her mother look at him with calm but teary eyes.

" Right now we should go get something to eat" the mother smiled despite the small tear that fell from her left eye.

"Mommy…!" Haruka put her ice cream on the ground to hug her mother by the knees to which her mother was surprised making her tear jump away from her face.

"Haruka !?" followed felt like little arms of her son wrapped a little more above where it towards Haruka .

"Koichi !?"

" You are not alone mom ... We are here ..." her daughter whispered to what Catherine felt tears come from her eyes.

"We love you Mother" Koichi said with a sweet tone.

Catherine could not take it anymore and lost the strength to stand, remaining on her knees while her two children continued to hug her and she cried freely.

" I love you too ... I love you my children" Catherine hugged her daughter's head with her arms as her tails wrapped around her son.

They spent a few moments in that position until Catherine could calm down, after a few minutes the three of them ate their mother's ice cream while they were sitting on a bench in front of the fountain.

"It's delicious!" Haruka said as she took another bite and smiled with her face covered in ice cream.

"Heh ... childish" mentioned Koichi who even saying that also had his face covered in ice cream.

Catherine fun of occurrences of her two offspring, but remembered they had not eaten as it should be yet .

" Very well, now the three of us will go to a restaurant owned by an old acquaintance of her mother" Catherine said and her children got up still with their containers in their hands.

Where they were going was crowded with people, being a wooden building painted black with several windows and plants right at the entrance, Catherine decided to pass by the idea that her children did not eat.

He confidently entered so that the diners would stop from their food to see the beauty that had stopped them by giving him easily interpretable glances.

Some of suspicion, others of admiration, lust, hatred and many simply of normality because they are used to seeing it in a statue or painting. She calmly took the steps into the store where she was greeted by a man in a black suit with graying hair along with a mustache and a patch over his left eye.

" Ohh, Madam Catherine and her offspring, but if it is a pleasure to have you in this simple place, tell me how can I help you?" the man was known from his adventurous days, as at the time they were in a group together.

" I just want a table, my children and I want something to have lunch calmly" the man put a hand to his chin before sighing.

" All the s tables are occupied I think u na time we will have a free and ..." the man saw the pleading look in the eyes of Catherine and sighed realizing that output was more than so what a time to eat out.

" Okay, this time ... I'll give you a table to share with someone else" the man left the restaurant to go to the tables outside the premises.

Catherine took a moment to think about her next move, returning to Vultlev'az was the strongest possibility, her mother there would welcome her with open arms and even more if she appeared with a couple of adorable grandchildren.

Another option was to be an adventurer again ...

"It could be, but ..." he noticed his two sons who saw the different dishes à la carte of the place, the idea of ​​leaving them alone with the intention of going on dangerous missions without the certainty of returning did not please him at all.

Furthermore, he had already saved enough in his life to never worry about money again, that is without thinking of selling everything of value he had collected.

" Hey Catherine, I got you a table next to a foreigner I hope you don't mind" Her acquaintance brought her back to reality and she looked again at her children who were looking at him with doubt.

"Ahhh yes, thank you ... let's go kids" the man led them to a rather large wooden table with a sun umbrella with a person reading a book with a suitcase covering his face from the mother's perspective.

" Thank you very much for this sir ... your order will be ready in a few moments" the man said to which the man removed his suitcase revealing his face.

He was a man with messy hair quite badly cut, with a somewhat tanned skin, with gray eyes with a long face with a tired expression , but at the same time somehow relaxed, he wore a long black robe with silver ornaments in addition to an insignia in the form of two snakes coiled around a staff.

" There is no problem my good man, it is always good to eat together ... Nice to meet you Miss my name is Skotadi, we will be sharing a table for a few moments I hope you do not mind" the man said with a friendly tone to which Catherine with some doubt nodded for later sit, his children took a seat very close to their mother looking doubtfully at the man in front of them who kept looking at their books before looking at them closely

" Ohh wow, but if it's two young people, excuse me my lady, but aren't you, Catherine Songstricke?"

Catherine felt a chill throughout her body at the pronunciation of her name by that man for some reason, she nodded without letting out a word.

The summer wind raised a dust bag while the umbrella that covered them from the sun moved, the smile was present on the man's face while a sinister silver glow filled both of his irises.

Catherine felt a snake curl around her neck, the weight of a new and unknown danger came to her suddenly, she had had that feeling when she faced dangers that no one had expected from her, like when her husband died.

"Your order ma'am" said a voice in the background, Catherine came to herself to see a man dressed as a butler asking for the order.

"Oh yeah, I… what do you kids want ? I suddenly lost my appetite " Catherine told her children who were looking at the menu with doubt.

" I want a piece of beef with rice and mashed potatoes" Koichi with a calm smile said.

" I apple pie with Orange juice and half a chicken with orange" Everyone saw the little girl who asked for such an order, the butler pretended calm as best he could while Catherine smiled with pity.

" Understood ... your order sir " the butler handed something resembling a piece of pumpkin next to pieces of chicken wrapped in cherry sauce.

" Thank you very much my good lord ... oh Lady Songstricke resuming our little exchange ... was your husband by chance Amakusa of the Cursed Sword?" again Catherine felt a pressure of fear throughout her body.

" Yes ... it is ... Excuse the rudeness, but ... What is the reason for these questions?" Catherine sharpened her gaze, the man raised his hands with a calm and harmless expression.

" I'm just a fan, I've been following your career for some time since you were involved with the Waterloo defense… excuse me, please don't think I have ulterior motives, V-vera S-I always wanted to be adventurous, but I never had the quality… I settle for being just a simple doctor… although I have also been able to become an alchemist… please don't think badly of me " the man said with nervousness in his voice, Catherine suddenly lost all fear towards him, he reminded the newbies who used to stop her and her husband for advice.

" Okay ... well, it was quite suspicious you know ... I almost thought I would have to attack you, well since you say that yourself I suppose I can answer some questions, just this once" Catherine gave a wink to the man. She blushed to smile shyly.

"Mom / Mother ..." Both children tried to say something to their mother, but at that moment.

"Your order ma'am" the waiter arrived with the orders of both children who stopped, their mother gave a smile to both.

"You can start, Mr. Skotadi and I are going to have a quiet talk while you eat" both children looked doubtful before nodding to start eating, allowing their mother to focus on their interlocutor " Well tell me what questions have?"

" Well ... see Mrs. Catherine, for a while that incident came to my mind where it is said that your husband created a whole arsenal of weapons for an army of 2,000 men in one night. How true is that?" Skotadi clasping her hands asked with a shy smile.

"Ahhh that ... yes, Amakusa could not move three days in a row after that, if I remember correctly it was when we led a campaign against an organized band of thieves, although we destroyed the swords afterwards ... they are so cursed after all" Catherine thought of that memory with a complicated smile.

" I see ... with that it is true ... a somewhat terrifying ability without a doubt ... if I remember correctly, the stories say that he was capable of creating weapons of all kinds of element and quality, is it true?" the man put his papers aside as he crossed the fingers of his hands holding his chin.

Catherine carefully looked at the man, scrawny, a stature more lower than average and with an expression more rather cowardly on his face, sighed as he watched the sky was a perfect blue.

"Well ..." Catherine stopped when she felt her son's hand taking her wrist "Is something wrong Koichi?"

"Mother ... this man ... he ..." Koichi said as Haruka approached with a worried look with a half-eaten chicken leg.

"… It is bad"

"…" Catherine felt a little of the fear of her sons, but remembered that she herself had the combat capabilities of a veteran not including Vultlev's physical superiority.

No have nothing what temor.

" It's just a doctor my children ... it also doesn't seem like a big deal" the last thing he said with a whisper to his children to return to focus on the doctor " Well you see ... my husband could do such, but I doubt that it was enough efficient or more well their weapons of a quality that everyone can use ... -

Skotadi smiled and took a sip from her mug.

" In what way?"

" Well ... let 's say no, bring ... how can I explain it in a simple way ... or better I say directly her talent is to forge clear weapons but these weapons bring some disadvantages that do not help much and weapons are cursed ... or more thoroughly than forged without my supervision " Catherine smiled with the memory of being with her husband or while he was forging" And believe me ... it is not that I put anything on it , just forging them they are already like that "

" ... I see ... only that the forges are already cursed ... very interesting ... another question Madam, I understand that you were capable of making them of an absurd quality ... tell me, in your last moments you low the quality of your work?"

" ... That is very personal Dr. Skotadi" with a serious tone she replied and remembered at that moment her husband's coughs of blood and how he was unable to take his hammer or even use his magic to project his weapons "they were delicate moments like to be in the workshop "

Skotadi looking embarrassed by the seriousness and the hard question looked away to stare at the sky with a distant expression.

" I always wanted one, you know. A sword forged by your husband ... they say that once he was paid 1,000 Grandeurs just to hold hers for a moment ... is that true? " Catherine looked away, a little embarrassed by that memory.

" It's true, although you know, because of the sword I wanted, you can die from your weapon without committing suicide ... it's something weird"

" ... I wouldn't mind dying to be able to hold such a legendary weapon ... excuse me, I'll take another topic, what about that theory that says that Half Bloods do not have anomalous abilities?" Skotadi directed his gaze and smile towards the woman's two children who looked away uncomfortably.

" Well I don't know what kinds of anomalies those are , but my little ones only have the expected abilities of their ancestry ... why do you ask?" Catherine suspiciously noticed the movement of the young man's hands, who was smiling.

" Well you see, I'm trying to show that those things about Half Bloods being born with defects is totally false… having tangible evidence and it helps more than just theoretical…" Skotadi smiled with the warmth of an expert doctor.

Catherine could feel empathy with the man, something that would always be involved and not only for her children would be prejudice when thinking that half bloods came with flaws of any kind, she sighed before seeing a deep blue bird it perched on the umbrella next to it.

" That is a really good wish, that would solve a few problems that are currently all over the world ... by the way Dr. What do you intend apart from that thesis in a town as small as this one?" very few tourists bothered to reach such a remote region south of Honoristy.

The man smiled again with a hint of amusement only to himself , then he took out some papers that had drawings of human anatomy and other species on them.

"I am investigating bodies, at the moment I will request permission from the mayor to be able to investigate the common cemetery of the town ... tell me, is your husband buried there by any chance ?"

Catherine looked down at the question, almost two months had passed since the death of her husband and the wound was still fresh, I watched as her children calmly ate as indifferent as they could from the conversation, for which she decided to take the first step to regain your emotional stability.

" Yes ... he is, he was not born here, but for the services rendered to the community they allowed him a dignified burial, although originally they wanted to put him in a mausoleum for National Heroes . Heh ... - Catherine looked at the blue sky of that day carefully wondering if from up there her husband would see her.

"I see ..." the doctor's tone became a little more distant but after a movement with his cup full of black liquid he smiled " Well Miss Catherine Songstricke ... it has been a pleasure, maybe we meet in other circumstances" the man got up leaving three copper coins on the table.

Catherine, seeing how the doctor turned his back to her, felt a strange weight in her stomach, it was the first time in years that someone named her last name, reminding her of her origin as a noble from a distant country.

"I can't keep running away ..." Catherine thought calmly and turned to see her children who were looking at her expectantly, she gave her a happy smile before hugging them both " I have decided ... we will go to Vultlev ´az, it is time to close this chapter ... what do you think? "

" Mother ... that man was dangerous / He was scary Mama" both brothers said at the same time to their mother who separated a bit from them and saw them still hugging them.

"It's okay guys, it doesn't matter what happens my children , as long as I live ... nothing and no one will harm you, besides ... a man like that can't be a threat" Catherine said with a smile before her stomach rumbled so strongly that the other diners stared at her leaving her in shame " But I think that this time I'll order some chicken with rice. Waiter!"

The aforementioned arrived with the promptitude of a man in a human hurry, the man took the order from the woman and returned to the kitchen.

After Catherine ate her food, the family took three steps to walk calmly through the entire commercial place of the town, passing through various places such as a small library where the old woman with a grandmother's smile from the counter received them.

" But if it's Haruka and Koichi, tell me my little ones, what do you want today? I have history of Honoristy, History of the great houses of this region, myths of men and other species and… " the woman said with a cheerful tone.

" Mrs. Vera, our mother decided to return to her country of origin, this may be the last time we see each other" Koichi with a voice that tried to be normal said, but his voice broke in a moment.

The old woman smiled with her wrinkles marking her entire face, then she stroked the boy's head who remained stoic on the outside, but with a blush of shame on his face.

" Ohh ... in that case I will give you this small volume of great heroes of Honoristy, there is a whole chapter about your parents" the old woman took out a large volume with a green cover with gold letters.

Koichi took it easy before smiling sincerely.

"Thanks…"

Catherine was quiet throughout the exchange, smiling that her children had made friends with various humans.

The next place was a bakery where a silver-haired girl gave the family several muffins and Brownies that the children received with a smile.

By the time the sun began to set, they decided to tour the city from the bazaar to the square where the fountain was now illuminated by oil lanterns that provided the perfect environment for families, couples and people alike.

"How cute!" Haruka ran out to see the fountain while other children stared at her by the movement of her tail.

"Haruka! Do not rush!" Koichi followed his sister out.

Catherine smiled when she saw how her children played with each other, well ... Koichi chasing her sister while she laughed while running away, their mother smiled tenderly and then began to approach slowly, she barely took a few steps until she heard a person who he blurted out in a contemptuous voice.

" Those canines, Foxes ... their only difference with dogs are their tails besides they stink, their tails and ears are horrible, but the worst of all are the ones with several tails" Catherine heard such a thing and turned to look like a man dressed as a minor noble said that.

The sound of several people laughing made her blood boil to notice the group of at least seven people each with a minor noble outfit being that in the center was the man from the comment.

He had perfectly coiffed blond hair, matching his blue eyes and a ridiculous blue suit accompanied by a tall, stocky man dressed in bronze armor who was smiling at that comment.

" I have heard that only the most inept men would be able to take a fox as a pet ... imagine the sick who dare to receive them in their home, but then there are the degenerates who get excited by them, simply disgusting to think that there are that kind of sick in this world ... those who love foxes or even worse those with several tails ... only a poor sick devil would do that " the man in bronze armor released and then continued with a thunderous laugh.

Something in the environment changed suddenly, a cold air of death filled the entire square, each one of the passers-by was fixed in the center of that phenomenon, being that it was Catherine herself who emanated a dense golden vapor from her body while his eyes shone with his pupil slit with pure hatred.

"You ..." he began to walk at a slow and calm step producing an echo with each movement of his feet, his hand extended to the side making the touching of something in nothing " miserable pieces of why laugh ... Amakusa, my beloved Amakusa " every whisper s sent to present one shiver throughout the body.

The bronze soldier moved cautiously to take him by the shoulder, when the woman felt the weight of the man's hand on her body, she stared at him and found a man with a mustache full of small eyes with a silly expression, he smiled at her fun before improperly grabbing mother's hip.

"Stay here Bitch, you and your flea children are here too, do you see those over there ...? They are noblemen who patronize me, so be still because I can take you and your little critters directly to jail and then give them a fixed trial by sending them directly to be sold as slaves ... " the man's face ended up being impacted by the fist of the woman sending him to the ground cursing something with an expression of pain.

" You… You… Dirty, Dirty… Dirty mass of meat… you insult me, threaten me and even worse… you dare to say that you will take my children away from me… I will cut off your head, I will give your entrails to eat the beasts and… " Catherine, as soon as she spoke those words, only showed an expression of hatred, visible in her small irises and sharp pupils.

The man still on the ground crying with pain saw the nobles who fell back from fear, with an effort he stood up and shouted loudly:

"Troops!"

The Vultlev saw her coming from a street corner over nearby a group of men in armor of silver thin metal plates that alluded to the swans.

" QUIET BEAST! YOU HAVE LAID A HAND ON OUR LIEUTENANT! " the dozen soldiers in formation holding spears and halberds pointed it at the mother who groaned in irritation.

Catherine, still looking at the injured man, moved her face a little, revealing one of her yellowish eyes with a sharp pupil with her other eye covered by her hair. Immediately the nobles with recovered courage began to shout.

" That beast attacked a soldier!"

" I did tell him they had to be thrown out!"

" They should n't be in this realm!"

"Look at them, they are hardly human ..."

"SHUT THE FUCKING MOUTHS!" Catherine exploded stopping the roar of the conversation towards her person, everyone present, including the simple passers-by and the nobles were silent " ... The battle of Waterloo, the Siege of Le Pucelle, my husband and I risk our lives for you! and so they pay, with their contempt! " a combination aura of gold, white and pale green began to emanate from the body of the woman who raised her hand as the sound of a trumpet ran through the entire plaza.

" Stop! Otherwise!" from the corner the bronze armored soldier who had been wounded by Catherine was now holding Haruka with a sword just above the girl's neck while applying a strong grip " this damn little bitch will die!"

"Mom ..." Haruka sobbed with her body being crushed by the weight of the armored man.

" It's just a girl "

"This has gone too far ..." a man raised said.

"Isn't she a hero?" A woman said doubtfully.

All the passersby gasped as they realized the implications, which did not matter to the bronze man who held the girl even tighter by pulling out a louder gasp from everyone.

"You ..." Catherine remained calm or rather keeping control, if she got a little out of control she would end up hurting people who simply walked in that place.

"Dirty two-legged rat ..." a child's cold and emotionless voice rang out.

From a slow-paced alley echoing with a reddish glow from its two eye orbs came Koichi growling as his tail stood up.

"My baby ..." Catherine lost all fierceness when she saw her son with an expression of pure anger who with a voice that radiated hatred approached the bronze man.

" Let me mother, let me erase this garbage from existence" Koichi from across the street said with an increasingly less human tone.

" Tks ... try it boy and your bitch sister will learn to let blood come out of her neck" the man threatened with a smile at the Vultlevs.

"What does this mean?!" a man in a black formal suit emerged from a nearby bar.

She had blonde hair with blue eyes, she walked through the streets with an annoyed expression before noticing the presence of Catherine and her children, causing her an expression of disbelief.

"Marius?" Catherine said the newly appeared name with slight hesitation.

"..." the man just happened to look intensely at the one in bronze armor.

"Captain ... these nonhumans ..."

" Catherine Songstricke, the most dangerous on this side of the kingdom woman, a national, wife of a deceased national hero heroine. For these low and stupid acts you have just killed your career, great imbecile, to make matters worse, threats to two children protected by the king's law, not to mention that the whole family is under the protection of the Foix-Grailly family. " The man took a moment to stroke the hundreds on signal to be having a terrible headache for continued seeing l group of soldiers with lances " You count 10 and took five for they are in the barracks, no food for three days And from now on they will be having an infernal series of physical exercises! "

The rank and file soldiers screamed and then ran to their barracks, the man sighed and stood in front of the lesser nobles who saw him grimacing with anger.

" Soldier or that woman! Not! That beast! "

" Silence, you damn fool! This woman not only has risked his life for trash like you continue breathing, but is part of one of the families most powerful of all their country , " the nobleman in question had a look of utter fear that inform ation " yes, You get it… you could cause a stupid war just by insulting her… do us a favor and get out of here before you say something that causes another world war " the indignant-faced noble clenched his teeth before continuing on his way with a" Huff ".

The others present in the plaza after the man's outburst continued their ways, the soldier in the bronze armor had already released Haruka and Koichi approached him with a grim expression.

" Once my father told me that men who raise their hands against another man's family must be willing to die ... tell me soldier ... Are you willing to die?" Koichi approached the man with a murderous expression that caused the man to fall to his knees with an incredulous and frightened expression.
