Perseus POV
We connected the teleportation of the 2 houses to Lilith since we can apparently just have it teleport to anywhere if we got a person who can use teleport connected to this artifact, and we teleported to near the village, we ended up destroying a part of the forest in the process and created this large clearing.
But the terrible part was the quick whiplash and nauseating feeling afterward, because all of us, goddesses and roses excluded, went out and threw up.
"I'm definitely not kissing you until you brush your teeth and clean your mouth." Leilah said as she used magic to clean up after all our waste
"Understandable."
Ruka then went to greet the watchers who came to intercept the teleporting house that appeared out of nowhere and destroyed the forest. Well, since this house belongs to the beloved gods, it should get some protection.
We've removed all the good stuff for ourselves and some to give to Chief Aminu later, like the books and other useful things. After we got back to the village, I asked for some premium service to get the 2 to-be saints to get back home.
My schedule has now deviated from its course a bit, I was supposed to come back, stop by the northern continent and check out what secret projects they're doing and stop it, but oh well, I can't go against a goddess, and a spirit who possesses the power of death.
At least, I got today free, I was supposed to go on a date with Maple, but her idea of using that favor was to just get me to sleep with her and Ivy before they go back. That's a bit of a stupid idea for a date, I thought about maybe a nice dinner, going to a theatre, or maybe going to have a picnic on a nice flowery hill.
But oh well, I got home, greeted my family, and went to wash up. Leilah and Lilith will be out for a while, they're trying to replicate Lilith's body as the best they can, it should be undistinguishable after the 2 work on it.
"Hmm?" Mom Rylee noticed my ring and her head turned to Ruka who just arrived.
Ruka noticed the look and sighs.
"Don't say anything." Ruka said.
"Do you really expect me to not say anything?" Mom Rylee responded, "I'm one push away from freaking out, so when did you 2 start dating behind our backs?"
"We never did." Ruka answered.
"Right..."
"We have different colored rings, we're both engaged to someone else...kidding, the rings are matching ones that are given to me by my father."
"So when's the wedding?"
"There will be no wedding? Right..."
"Really, I get that you like me, but I am not marrying that narcissistic harem lord." Ruka retorted.
Harem lord, I like the title. And Leilah will hate it.
"Then why don't you take it off?" Mom Nyra asked as she poked her head out of the kitchen
"Because it's beneficial." Ruka answered, "I do find your son attractive, and I don't totally dislike his personality, not only is he 10 years too early, but he is also very ugly for my liking, no offense to you 2, you're all very beautiful."
Ugly? Has she not seen our readers? She's been with me for a long time, so she should realize how I look better than most people because a protagonist always has to look good, otherwise, I'd have no fanbase. Every story's protagonists are good-looking, excluding our readers who are a protagonist in their own life.
Imagine being a protagonist, and yet ugly...damn, I can't know how you feel author, but it must be quite sad.
|This isn't in the script and beauty comes from within.|
That's the line ugly people come up to cope with themselves, but whatever helps you sleep at night.
"Son, promise me something." Mom Nyra said to me "When you get her pregnant, I get to name the child."
"Sure?"
Weird request, but alright.
Anyway, with the moon as my artifact, I'm also pretty much ready to travel to the other side and attack Cain and that stupid Keith Hughes in an early surprise attack. I ain't waiting for them to come here and be on the defensive, I'll just attack em and beat all the people I hate on the other side.
I can't wait, I thought about killing and getting their family involved, but I'll let them off, I'll just kill the only ones involved.
I'm so excited about it that I even thought about going there first before resolving some of the issues here but for now...I just have to make sure that this world will not slip past my control while I'm away, so delaying their progress will be better, the other side might take more than 10 chapters to solve.

"Are you sure that this is what you want to use your favor on?"
"Yes, I respect my daughter's wish, do you not like her?" Maple asked Ivy then give me this pleading look.
It's not that I don't like her, but I'm uncomfortable sleeping next to a daughter who I'll only have in the future, which I'm still very unfamiliar with and not that friendly with.
Buddy went to sleep with Asher and Vince, they're also sleeping together because Vince liked being called uncle, and Asher provided this serious attitude that he really likes, it's a strange combo of a mostly expressionless guy and a happy, cheery boy.
I put the blanket on and lay down. Ivy slept in between me and Maple, and it didn't even take her that long for her to fall asleep.
"She's holding me a bit tightly."
"That just means she loves you," Maple replied with a giggle, "You should be proud, it must mean that you've raised her well."
"Of course, I'll raise her well, just because I'm a bad guy, doesn't mean I'm a bad dad. It's similar to that one supposedly evil scientist with a weird pointy nose whose arch-enemy is a semi-aquatic egg-laying mammal of action, great dad despite his attempts at being evil."
