Chapter 8: Yuna's past and Minato's magic
"Husband Overlord is awesome! I think you might be the best!" Aya thrashed in Minato's arms as the family decided to drop the war.
That was not their problem, and Minato wasn't in a mood to see more explosions.
His own wasn't flashy, but much more devastating!
He chuckled, "You remember former Overlords? Was there a connection?"
"I don't! It's just a feeling," Aya genuinely confessed.
All laughed while strolling through the forest.
Their laughter stopped a few times due to the fallen victims from both sides. Those were scattered across the forest, either by their makers or desperately trying to run away. In the former case, those victims were bullied by the abovementioned makers.
Minato ignored them and acted if need be.
Fools occasionally went at them, so Minato would gather more experience by fighting them with his strong psychique. He planned to avoid their blows with perfect accuracy and destroy their weapons with his own hands.
"Those twats would have died if they banged their heads on your forehead," Bei casually commented after Minato had killed another man.
He turned his eyes at her and said, "Well, you are right. It seems like you are enjoying our adventure so far. Tell me, what trick did you pull?"
"I said there was no fucking trick!" Bei stomped on the ground.
From the side, Yuna smiled widely at two of them, "Since Minato says you did something, then he must be right. It's like an Overlord's Instinct. You rely too much on it yet you don't have any argument against it, Bei?"
"Stop supporting him this much, Elder Sister! Team up with me once in a while! The result was great, wasn't it?! Goddamnit-"
"-Fuck," Minato ended as Bei'd realized she made a mistake.
Her words betrayed her, and she revealed that her magic pulled some trick on Minato's first enemies.
She awkwardly smiled and looked toward Yuna, "Elder Sister..."
Yuna didn't hear her, "I think this place should do, Minato."
"Yes," Minato nodded. "Let's rest here."
The war and its sound didn't reach the couple here, so they decided to take a short break here. They unfurled a blanket, and it was time for some rest in each other's embrace.
Since Aya was small, she also found a place on Minato's lap.
Bei just stood dazed, "No punishment?"
"You will teach me magic, won't you?" Minato glanced at her while patting both Yuna and Aya.
Bei nodded, "I won't renege on my promises. Who do you think I am?"
She also found a place for herself, and even a few godly snacks came out of her spatial treasure.
The family enjoyed their time and snacks with nature by their side.
Minato didn't eat as he wasn't in a mood. He kept his warmth around Yuna and Aya, who had been clinging to him ever since the start.
He also requested Bei to not use any magic to find the nearby city.
Although he used an excuse to make their adventure natural, Minato didn't want to head straight to the city or any other place with people after killing people.
He wanted to spend time with his family carelessly.
Yuna shared a little about her background as it was a perfect time, "High Spirits test their descendants' magical aptitude upon the birth. The higher the aptitude, the better the lifestyle. Those who have high aptitude bathe in treasures and are under the eye of esteemed masters.
I was born with a high physique instead, and I even had fox tails! Can you imagine the tantrum my birth caused, Minmin?"
Aya raised her hand, "I can!" She yanked her sunglasses, "This is... not my child!"
"That's rude," Minato chopped her head with his hand, but as he treated her with affection, Aya felt no damage at all.
She just giggled and apologized.
Yuna chuckled, "I have my father's eyes, so he knew I was his child. It was still a big tantrum as no one expected any psychique on our bodies. We are a race blessed with magic and beauty yet I also received high psychical strength... It's more of a speed, but it still surprised everyone. They believed I would possess both traits, but I am fairly weak at magic."
Minato and Aya nodded.
The husband turned his eyes to the spirit, "Do you have anything else than those sunglasses?"
"I don't! I don't know where I have them from, but I feel confident with them! Do you want to try them, Husbando Overlord?" Aya raised her sunglasses.
Minato tried them, and he promptly took them off as all the ladies burst out laughing.
These were made for a smaller face, and Minato didn't want to break them. He gave them back to Aya, then asked Bei, "How about we start some magic training? I feel like this is a good spot, and it should kill some time."
"Very well," Bei smirked and entered the teacher mode.
Minato and Yuna realized that Bei was one of the worst teachers in less than a minute. She worked solely on instincts, so her training and wisdom looked like, basically that, "You find mana within you, draw a circle or a few, then release whatever you have in mind."
Poof!
A ferocious wind barreled into a tree and utterly shattered it.
"You... How can I even learn from it?!" Minato tugged Bei's shoulder, but she just repeated the process and spoke slower.
The husband squinted his eyes, "Talking slower doesn't really help, you know?"
"Goddamnit fuck. What do you not understand? It's so damn simple," Bei crossed her arms and looked down at the husband.
As an immediate help, Yuna stood up and looked down as well, "Explain where mana comes from first! And then, talk about two types of the magic circle, you airhead!"
Bei arched her head back, then looked down, "Heart?"
"It's soul!" Yuna snapped, "I even know it! It's unbelievable how deeply you rely on your royal bloodline! You are worse than a typical brainless princess! Gosh! Aren't you similar, or worse, to Hei?!"
"Not that bitch! I am far more graceful and beautiful than this cheap woman!" Bei snapped as well and stood up to face her elder sister.
Whoever Hei was, Minato didn't know. He inferred it was Bei's rival and probably one of her peers.
He hugged Aya and whispered, "How do I feel soul?"
Aya pondered a little, "It's like a piss!"
"Piss?" Minato whispers lowered down...
"Yes! It's uncontrollable and happens randomly!" Aya's explanation was as such.
Minato contemplated a little, then followed his wife's words.
First of all, he located mana within himself. He used a little of Aya's explanation and just 'drank' mana as it was everywhere.
Every living being naturally breathed and regenerated mana through the world.
Minato's body became brimmed with it, and he felt a familiar sensation within himself...
His ears twitched as the sisters' argument reached another stage, "You also explain about magic circles! There's the one-purpose magic circle and an all-purpose magic circle! High Spirits can use both due to our high aptitude, but they have to learn them first as well!"
'One purpose, was it?" Minato inwardly said.
Familiar with the eastern culture from his world, Minato drew the 'Kill' word in the air, then pushed it toward the closest tree.
He saw a golden light oozing out of his finger, so Minato believed he'd achieved some success.
Yuna and Bei were drawn by that light.
Their eyes expanded when the tree suddenly began dying out! It was as if someone squeezed all of its vitality.
It soon turned into powder and disappeared from the world...
"Minato?" Bei and Yuna asked.
"Yes?" Minato chuckled, as these two were indeed sisters.
"Husband Overlord did it! This is Overlord's Mana! Congratulations!" Aya contributed to this achievement, so she rubbed her nose with sunglasses and happily explained what happened just now.
"Haha! Thanks!" Minato hugged his spirit with a triumphant smile.
The sisters stared at them, then glanced into each other's eyes.
Bei became serious, and she said, "If I suck at explaining, I will just show example after example!
"Yeah!" Husbando Overlord nodded and stood up.
Yuna sighed and said, "Minmin, you should try to invite us to your world before sunset. Otherwise, we will have to make a camp here."
"I will remember that... Well, this is not bad scenery, so we can camp here. Haha!" Minato smiled then turned his eyes to black-haired sister.
She stood with her lips parted, "Do I have to sleep alone... in the low world's forest? That's... too much!"
Aya's hand rose, "I can sleep with you! It would be rude to step into a couple. Husbando Overlord needs dual cultivation the most right now as it will help his strength grow the most. Ah, if you want to join, then I will return to Minato's world!"
"Who the fuck wants to join them?!" Bei kicked spirit away, then turned around with cheeks burning hot.
Minato and Yuna sneered at her, "Why so shy?"
"Stop teasing me, elder sister! And you fucker don't get any ideas! A little strength and you have already developed some harem thoughts?" Bei retorted.
"Our bed is quite big. Yuna also can't sleep without hugging me, so she takes a little space. Eh, what could you possibly have in mind? Any idea, Yuna?"
"I don't know, Minmin!" Yuna played along.
"You two know too fucking well! Didn't you hear the spirit saying dual cultivation?!" Bei kept getting redder and redder.
It was always easy to talk about others, but one would usually get quite flustered when things went down to oneself.
Well, it depended on the person as well!
Bei indeed got flustered, and she searched for help from Aya.
Aya tilted her head, "What is dual cultivation?" She smirked.
"You little twat!" Bei let out a magic circle!
