Chapter 24 - Chapter 23 : Takahiro's Return!

The rustic orc village bustled with activity as Takahiro, Lara, Lixey, and Lotifer made their way through teleportation. Orcs went about their daily tasks, casting curious glances at the newcomers.

The orc village was alive with activity as Takahiro and Lara, accompanied by Lixey and Lotifer, entered the common area. Ryna and Green, who were overseeing some village affairs, noticed their return.

Ryna (excited):

"Takahiro! Lara! You're back!"

Green (grinning):

"About time. We missed the chaos you bring".

Takahiro and Lara exchanged warm greetings with Ryna and Green.

Takahiro (smiling):

"It's good to be back, Ryna, Green. We've brought some new allies".

Ryna and Green looked curiously at Lixey and Lotifer.

Ryna (raising an eyebrow):

"New allies, huh? Who are they?"

Lixey (cheerful):

'I'm Lixey, a Fox Beast, and this is Lotifer, a human. We've decided to join your village".

Lotifer (nodding):

"We believe in the unity of all races and wish to contribute our skills".

Green and Ryna was shocked when she heard that Lotifer was a human and asked Takahiro about this.

Takahiro : "She is the fifth Princess of Cyclo Kingdom, Lotifer Cyclo and she betrayed her country while protecting me . So , we took her here and let's get along with her".

Ryna (smiling):

"Indeed, welcome. We're glad to have you with us. If Takahiro trusts you, that's good enough for us".

Takahiro (grateful):

"Thank you, Ryna, Green. I'm sure they'll prove valuable additions to our community".

Lara, Lixey, Lotifer, Ryna, and Green gathered in the common area. The village hummed with activity as orcs continued their daily routines.

Lotifer (smiling):

"Ryna, Green, there's something I'd like to share with you".

Ryna (raising an eyebrow):

"Go ahead, Lotifer".

Lotifer took a deep breath, her gaze unwavering.

Lotifer (confidently):

"My motive for joining this village isn't just about contributing my skills. I've observed the bonds here, and I believe in strengthening them. So, I propose that Takahiro should marry me".

Ryna and Green exchanged surprised glances, and Takahiro ,who overheard it, eyes widened in shock.

Takahiro (stammering):

"Wait, what?"

Lotifer (playfully):

"Think about it. We'd make a strong team".

While the group processed Lotifer's unexpected proposal, Lixey chimed in.

Lixey (smiling):

"And I must say, I've been impressed by Takahiro's bravery. I'd like to propose that he marries me".

Takahiro (astonished):

"Two marriage proposals? This is... unexpected".

Ryna (teasingly):

"Well, well. Takahiro, you've got quite the admirers".

Green (smiling):

"Its good because it will cure his curse".

Lotifer (surprised):

"A curse.....?"

Ryna :

"Takahiro have to marry atleast five girls within the remaining two months or he will die".

Green:

"And now we have five girls : me , Ryna , Lara , Lixey and Lotifer ".

NEXT DAY

.....

.....

Takahiro and Lara stood in a cozy corner of alchemy house, surrounded by various herbs, vials, and magical ingredients. The alchemy workspace was filled with the aroma of potent herbs.

Takahiro (smirking):

"Alright, Lara, let's see if you have the magic touch for potion-making".

Lara (playfully):

"Oh, I've got plenty of magic, Takahiro. Just watch".

Takahiro chuckled as Lara examined the array of ingredients.

Lara (pointing):

"We'll start with the Celeil Petals. They add a soothing touch to the potions".

Takahiro nodded, and they began working together, finely chopping the Celeil Petals.

Lara (smiling):

"Now, add a pinch of Moonstone Dust for that magical shimmer".

Takahiro carefully sprinkled the Moonstone Dust into the mixture, their hands working in harmony.

Takahiro (teasing):

"Moonstone Dust, the secret ingredient?"

Lara (laughing):

"You bet. It adds that extra flair".

As they continued, Lara shared her knowledge of potion-making, explaining the importance of balance and timing.

Lara (serious):

"Timing is crucial. Too early, and the potion might lose its potency. Too late, and it could become unstable".

Takahiro focused, following Lara's instructions as they brewed a potion together. The room filled with the gentle sounds of their collaboration.

Lara (impressed):

"You catch on quick, Takahiro. Potion-making suits you".

Takahiro (smiling):

"Well, I've got a great teacher".

...

...

NEXT DAY

...

...

Takahiro and Lixey strolled through the bustling construction site of the new kingdom. Orcs, elves, humans, and various other races worked together, building a future home for their diverse community.

Takahiro (looking around):

"It's incredible how fast the kingdom is taking shape".

Lixey (smiling):

"It's awesome".

As they walked, Lixey's eyes sparkled with excitement.

Lixey (cheerful):

"Takahiro, I've been thinking. I want to open a shop here".

Takahiro (raising an eyebrow):

"A shop? What kind?"

Lixey (grinning):

"Well, growing up, I always dreamed of having a resturant".

Takahiro chuckled.

Takahiro (smiling):

"That's a wonderful dream, Lixey. You should absolutely go for it".

Takahiro and Lixey walked together, the sky painted in hues of orange and purple as the day turned into evening.

Lixey (looking at Takahiro):

"Takahiro, there's something I want to talk to you about".

Takahiro (curious):

"Sure, what is it?"

Lixey (nervously):

"Well, it's not every day that you get to build a kingdom and fulfill your dreams. So, I was thinking..."

Takahiro raised an eyebrow, sensing Lixey's hesitation.

Takahiro (encouraging):

"Go on, Lixey".

Lixey (taking a deep breath):

"Takahiro, will you... marry me?"

Takahiro:

"Are you saying this because you got to know about my curse?"

Lixey :

"No....., I truly love you".

Takahiro:

"Yes..... , I will marry you".

As they continued walking, hand in hand, the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow on the kingdom under construction—a kingdom where dreams were not only built but lived.

Takahiro and Lixey entered the house, the warmth of the cozy dwelling enveloping them. Ryna, Green, and Lotifer were already gathered, awaiting their return.

Ryna :

"Takahiro, we are hungry. So , order some pizza from your online shopping skill".
