Now we are in Sharia, the winter cold penetrates my nostrils as I walk alongside Nanahoshi, it is already night at least midnight or a little later
The wind hits the buildings emitting a spooky whistle, for some reason someone left a bell tower on the outskirts and they are ringing
The shops are closed and there is no one on the streets.
The snow reaches up to my heels so I walk with some difficulty.
Even the bars are closed
The streets are lit by gas lanterns that give a gloomy air to the streets.
-brrrrr....can we hurry up and get home?- asked Nananoshi while hugging my arm tighter
-Yes, of course dear, do you want me to carry you to get there faster?-
Nanahoshi hesitated for a few moments but accepted.
I decided to carry her on my back, I bent down so she could climb on and I made her hold on firmly.
She hugged my neck from behind and rested her head on mine.
So we were able to get home faster, but to our surprise the lights in the house are still on.
-Are the girls still awake? - Nanahoshi murmured.
-I don't know- I answered as I slowly lowered her off from my back.
We walked towards the entrance of the house and suddenly a woman with red hair came out of the house.
it was Lisa Christina's granddaughter, but what is she doing here?
I had already interacted with her momentarily days ago but what is she doing here?
As we approached the house she looked at me with an expression of shock and doubt.
Don't tell me that the news has already reached Ranoa?... How fast...
When I and Nananoshi were at the entrance of the house Lisa spoke:
-So... you're my grandfather?...- she said doubtfully while executing Eris's trademark pose...
I think that pose is already something in the family....
-Has the news reached here? - I said, genuinely worried.
-My mother warned me and Pedro about your resurrection- Lisa answered while looking me in the eyes
Suddenly a voice was heard from inside
-Lisa! Don't be insolent, let them in, don't you see how cold it is?! - Sylphie shouted from inside
Sylphie you are an angel!
-ah?! A-a....sorry...come in...- Lisa said guiltily
Nanahoshi and I entered the house and were greeted by an oppressive aura
Lisa and Pedro 2 of Christina's grandchildren were at home
They are both adults in their early 30s and have Eris's signature crimson red hair.
Sylphie and Roxy were also sitting in the living room while drinking cups of tea.
-Welcome home dear- said Sylphie with traces of discomfort
Roxy on the other hand was dying of sleep, the poor thing was struggling to keep her eyes open.
-Welcome back Rudy- Roxy murmured
-What are you doing here so late?- I asked.
-Grandpa.... Rudeus....we came here because our Mother told us that you had been revived thanks to Mr. Peragius... - murmured Pedro.
-Yes, at first we didn't believe it at all but as the hours passed the news spread from Asura to here quickly- added Lisa
-It's true, while you were gone Rudy many people came to ask if it was true about your resurrection....I had to call Paul to check on them-
said Sylphie with an adorable pout But I could see that she was really angry so I saved myself from making fun of her.
..
..
In short, the news spread faster than I imagined.
Ars contacted Sylphie from Basherant to inform her of the news...and Sylphie had to confirm it.
Likewise while we were talking with my grandchildren, Siegh rang his communication tablet from Shirone with a message
"Moms, Shirone is in chaos, a very strong rumor has spread from Asura that Mr. Peragius has revived Dad,It is said that King Timothi himself announced this, please moms contact me as soon as possible and please explain to me if you know anything about this" The message said
So Christina Ars and Sieg know now huh?
-What will you answer Sylphie?- said Roxy taking me out of my thoughts
-What else can I tell you? The truth and nothing but the truth- said Sylphie as she took the tablet and sat in her chair.
It was already past one in the morning.
I suggested to Lisa and Pedro that they stay here for the night and they agreed and retired to the guest rooms.
I sat next to Sylphie on the couch and Roxy did the same so she was in the middle of the two of us.
"My son, I am glad to inform you that the rumor is true, your father has been revived and rejuvenated thanks to the reincarnation techniques of the dragon race, In fact, he is here with me and your mother Roxy, there is nothing to worry about my son, your father will go to Shirone soon to give the news himself"
That was what Sylphie wrote on the tablet and sent it.
I didn't realize but Nananoshi was sleeping on the other couch, I carried her princess style to her room, there would be no sex today since I'm too tired and the girls too.
..
..
The next day I was awakened by some noises outside the house, I opened my eyes heavily and looked and it was early in the morning
I probably only slept 5 hours because I was so tired.
Sylphie also woke up, she had dark circles under her eyes and her hair was disheveled, Roxy moved uncomfortably in bed
I decided to go out and see what was going
I looked out the window to see what was happening on and I was immediately surprised.
A crowd of about 300 people was gathered around the house.
I quickly went out to see, Nananoshi was already awake as well and looked in a bad mood due to lack of sleep.I decided not to bother her and went out instead.
The moment I opened the front door the crowd burst into murmurs and when they saw me it was like hearing a sound of collective astonishment.
And after that they started bombarding me with questions.
-Mr. Greyrat!!
-Are you really Quagmire Rudeus?!!-
-How did it feel to be dead?!!-
-How It was you revived?!!-
-They used your body extracted from the cemetery to revive you?!!-
I immediately closed the door but the screams did not stop.
Sylphie walked down the stairs with a frown and watched the crowd through the window.
-uuug...there are more than yesterday...- she said with an angry look
I wanted to say something but I didn't, I didn't want to anger her more, but to my surprise Sylphie leaned completely on me, poor girl she must be tired...
-Rudy...do something, make them go away...- she said sadly
-Don't worry, I'll do it, go back to rest- I said, stroking her head
Sylphie went back up the stairs and I went out to the main courtyard of the house.
People started shouting questions at me very loudly again and that bothered me.
I conjured a fireball to make a firework of the same type I used when I saved Eris from the kidnappers the day I met her.
I threw it in the air and it exploded loudly making people go silent.
-What time do you think it is to come and bother me? Yes indeed, I have revived but that doesn't mean you can come and bother me!!- I shouted angrily.
The crowd fell silent for a moment. And then they spoke again but more quietly.
-Were you the man who walked through Sharia this week?- asked a man
-Yes, there were rumors of a Rudeus Greyrat impersonator walking around the city, but I never thought it was really you!!- one shouted
-Silence!!- I shouted
-Yes, it was me, he was revived in Peragius Castle more than a week ago and I returned to Sharia with my wives- I said
Shit...I forgot the detail of the corpse...I have to think of something...
-And his body that was removed from the cemetery two days ago?- A woman asked
-They used my corpse to shape my body so they could rejuvenate me-I instantly invented
The crowd seemed more relaxed but I was still bombarded with more questions that I had to answer
Shortly after, Lisa and Pedro left the house to remove all the people who had gathered, allowing them to spread the news of my resurrection to whoever wanted to do so on the condition That he wouldn't come to bother me at my house
Shortly after, the crowd dispersed, somewhat dissatisfied, but that didn't matter to me in the least.
I thanked my grandchildren and went back to sleep.
The result? I fell asleep until almost noon and ran to Orsted Corp. I decided to leave Nanahoshi at home this time.
Orsted greeted me with a more terrifying face than usual but soon after he sighed heavily
The next target is Shirone, my son Sieg must be in shock right now.
