"My lord~ Your Sun asks to join your Sky."
I blink for a second before my sky flame flares and starts to nudge her without me doing anything. I smile brightly when I feel a connection start to form between the two of us. It looks like my Sun found me. However, I can feel her pain and loneliness. I can feel the pain deep inside of her from her past, and she is afraid that I will reject her. Her cheerful expression is a facade she puts on to cover her insecurity and fear.
I walk toward her, give her a hug, and say.
"Welcome home, my Sun. You did not need to put that facade any longer. You can be yourself and put on your real feelings for others to see."
I can see her start to sob at my hug, and I keep hugging her until she stops crying. I release her and look her right in the eyes before saying.
"You did not need to hide yourself any longer when you arrived home. I shall be the sky that takes some of your burden and be the pillar that makes sure you are okay."
"And I shall be the Sun that shines over you, cheering you and healing you. Thank you for accepting me, my lord. I can feel it. I can feel the connection between the two of us and am glad that you are the right person for me to give my life to."
I nod and let the new connection settle and strengthen. I look at Luca and say.
"Prepare for celebration! We got a new member to the family!"
"Yes, boss!"
==||==
"Hahahaha! Is this all you can do, Fake Saint!"
"I never claim to be a Saint, you Slut Nun!"
I release a sigh at the sight in front of me. Felicia and Martha get along well.
*BOOM*
Well, enough for them to have a spar in the middle of a celebration. I thought Martha would be kind and gentle and always smile at any moment, but that is not the case. She takes the personality of Martha, who also has the same face as her. Martha from Nasuverse. She is more like a tomboy woman who likes to punch someone who speaks rudely to her; that is her personality.
And boy, she can punch.
*BOOM*
She has a Sacred Gear called [Giant's Might] that takes the form of a gauntlet. Its ability is to increase the user's physical strength each time she or he lands a hit on the opponent. There are only two downsides: The first one is that the power puts a strain on your body each time it increases the user's strength, and the stronger the boost, the stronger the strain it gets. The second one is that the boost has a hard limit. It can only increase the user's physical strength to ten times their strength.
However, Martha has something that allows her to prolong her usage of her Sacred Gear. I can feel Martha using her sun flame to heal her body. She did not use her Sun Flame to enchant her body, but that is for the best because using it to heal and enchant your body will deplete her flame reserve quickly.
She is a great fighter in a quick fight, but she needs to increase her reserve if she wants to last more than ten minutes.
"Boss, should we stop them?"
"Nah. Let them be, Luca. Do you want to take care of Felicia when she is grumpy about her fight getting interrupted?"
He gets pale at that word and shakes his head.
"No. I once interrupted her from her fight against a Vampire, and I did not want to experience that once again."
"Wise choice."
I drink the brandy in my hand and release a sigh. I blink for a second when I see a familiar blue panel appear in front of me.
[Congratulations on completing your second template! Please select an upgrade for your second template:]
I nod and read the five upgrades in front of me.
[Anti-Fat Body]
[Gintoki's Sword Collection]
[Silver Aura]
[He Who Endures]
[Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon]
I blink a second when the knowledge of each option appears in my head. The first one is useless as it only prevents my body from getting fat no matter how many sweet things I eat. I did not need this one. The second one is a bit better as it gives me all the swords Gintoki ever used in his life.
The first one is his trusted sword, Toyako Bokuto. This wooden sword is extremely durable and even cut steel if used correctly. The second is Tetsuko's Nameless Sword, which he uses against the legendary cursed sword, Benizakura. The last one is Yoshida Shouyou's katana, which he received from his teacher.
The first and second swords are notable, but the third one is not good. Toyako Bokuto is a spirit sword that makes the sword even more durable if the spirit gets stronger. As for the second one, it is so sharp that it can cut the body possessed by Benizakura, who is supposedly more durable than steel.
The [Silver Aura] gives me an aura that shines silver when I fight an opponent. It will increase my intimidation by a lot. This is what makes Gintoki a Shiroyasha or White Demon. While the others thought that it was their vision, it was not. While this aura is active, my opponents will be more prone to running away than fighting. The longer they fight me, the more powerful this intimidation gets.
[He Who Endures] is something else entirely. This increases my physical power the more injured I get. Not only that, but it also prevents one fatal blow from killing me after it meets a certain criteria. I need to fight my opponent for at least one minute, and my body needs to be inflicted before this ability activates.
I want this one as the last one is a bit… Weird.
[Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon] is weird in form and nature. It is a massive canon that can even pierce the moon. However, it requires a massive amount of energy. How much? The same energy all humanity uses worldwide for a year. That is the amount of energy it requires to fire a single blast. I don't know if the other race can power this thing, but at the moment, humanity cannot.
I picked the fourth one and felt warm energy enter my body. It is subtle, but I can feel a torrent of power behind it when needed.
[Randomizing the next character template… Congratulations! You get Shiro (No Game No Life)]
I blink a little when a rush of knowledge gets inside my brain. This is the thing I need. At the moment, all of my templates are fighters that rely on their instinct. Yes, even Byakuran. He relied on his ability to gain knowledge from his alternate self, but I did not want to do that because I was afraid of getting mad from that rush of knowledge.
However, with Shiro as my next template, I got the tactical mindset for all my fights and covered her weakness of unpredictability using the Gintoki template and knowledge.
"Boss? Are you okay? You have been dozing off for a few minutes now."
I snap from my thoughts and say.
"Ah, I am okay, Luca. Say, Luca. Do you want to play some chess game with me?"
I need to grind this template. I already have forty percent in this template and only need sixty percent more. Lucky for me, the Shiro template is easy. I only need to play games against other players. I think I can complete this template in a week or two at the slowest.
