I returned from Roa with Sylphie in my arms, it was a liberating experience, now I could move forward with my duties without worrying about anyone other than those I love.
-ummm you can put me down now Rudy-
Sylphie said while carrying her in my arms
I don't know why I did this before we
-Yes, I'm sorry dear- I said as I put her down.
teleported but she didn't complain so we traveled this way.
We left the basement and headed back to Orsted's office
It hadn't been a long trip, it had only taken us about 4 hours so it was barely 2 in the afternoon.
We greeted Faria again and entered Orsted's office and to my surprise Alek was already back and it seems he was reporting the result of his mission.
-...in conclusion, the kingdom of Gardenia is still willing to give us support- Alek said before turning in my direction
-Ah! Good afternoon Mr. Rudeus and Miss Sylphiette- Alek said with a bow
-Good afternoon Alek- we answered in unison.
He smiled and sat down in his chair.
-So, how did it go in the Buena City? - Orsted asked.
-Nothing really important to reveal, we buried the remains of my version of the future in an area far from the city without any inconvenience- I explained
-Very well- Orsted told me nodding and then looked at Sylphiette
-Sylphiette Greyrat, could I have your husband until his work day is over?- Orsted asked.
Sylphie was visibly surprised by this and made a confused face.
-Ah....okay, I guess I'll see you later, Rudy?- Sylphie said looking at me
-Yes, see you tonight then, dear- I said, giving her a kiss.
She smiled at me and left the office.
-Sit down Rudeus- Orsted said seriously
Oh no...something happened here....
-Alek, explain the situation to Rudeus- Orsted said
Alek immediately stood up and approached me
-On my mission to the conflict zone, more specifically to the kingdom of Gardenia, I made a visit to strengthen ties with that country but I also discovered something else- Alek said in a serious tone
-I infiltrated the castle of the kingdom of Gardenia and discovered in one of its basements a huge magic circle, But this one looked incomplete, at least 20% of its completion, but the few pieces created looked like the magic circles that Miss Nanahoshi created to return to her world- Alek said
-Teleportation circles between worlds then....-I muttered...-Yes, since there weren't many drawings created I was able to replicate them- Alek said while Orsted passed me a paper
On the paper was a miniature version of the magic circle, obviously incomplete, but it was obviously the same as Nana's....
-This is strange...how could they find out there?- I muttered...
-I think I may have a theory- Orsted said
Me and Alek looked at him in disbelief but Orsted's not fazed by that
-In the loops where Rudeus was not, the kingdom of Gardenia summons a person from another world who becomes the chosen one, although his role in the defeat of Laplace was minor, Orsted explained.
Jah...it seems like the plot of any generic isekai....
-The chosen one...but what happens now that Miss Lara has taken that place?- Alek murmured
-Now I'm not sure, Lara's status as a savior is already known worldwide, Gardenia's current motives are unknown- Orsted said
A summoned from another world.....wait a minute....
-Mr. Orsted, could you tell me what the physical characteristics of the previous chosen one were? - I said, already imagining it.
-hmmm, black hair, tall and eyes like your wife Nanahoshi- Orsted said
-Shit!- I said, leaning back in my chair in shock.
-Is something wrong?- Orsted asked me surprised.
-I think they're already preparing to summon Nanahoshi's ex-boyfriend- I muttered....
-How are you sure about that?- Orsted asked with a raised eyebrow.
-Oh please think about it! A summoned from another world, the same characteristics between him and Nana, I remember that before dying in my other world it was said that two boys had disappeared and one of them was Nana - I said, putting things together in my head
Orsted remained silent as I stated my arguments.
-It seems that what you say makes sense, any idea what we should do?- Orsted asked
I was silent for a few moments, I had mixed feelings about it.
-Did the presence of the previous chosen one help in any way in the previous loops?- I asked.
-As I said, his role in the defeat of Laplace was minor, he was only in charge of unifying the human armies to fight against Laplace, but we have already done that job so their presence is practically unnecessary - Orsted said
Well that's a relief...
-But... there must be something else for which he was summoned... - I murmured
-Probably... now that you mention it I have vague memories of him getting into a
relationship with the girl from the castle- Orsted muttered
-Also...if he ends up being summoned we might finally know why you and Miss Nananoshi were summoned- Alek muttered
It's true....
Akihito was summoned as the savior of this world, but something must have happened for Nana to be summoned as well, something must have happened, that's why she was sent almost a century before Akihito's arrival...
-It's similar to my situation, something happened in the future and somehow a person from another world or in my case from another timeline was summoned to fix the damage before it happened- I explained.
-So what's your point Rudeus? Do you think it's wise for us to help summon the previous chosen one? - Orsted asked with his face furrowed
-I.....could you please give my answer tomorrow after talking about this with Nanahoshi?- I asked with a bow
Orsted sighed heavily at this.
-Very well, but I want an answer that will help us- Orsted said
-Thank you very much, tomorrow I will have a concrete answer on this subject- I said with a bow in gratitude.
-Yes, it's nothing, Now we must talk about the trip to the great forest, you already talked to your daughter right? - Orsted asked me
-eh...I'll talk to her today too and make sure she goes- I muttered
Orsted frowned and sighed again.
-Yes, our departure is tomorrow, we will go early although it won't take too long- Orsted said
We continued talking about our future plans until it was time for me to leave. I asked Orsted to lend me Alek's drawing for Nana to analyze and he agreed.
(sigh) The steam coming out of my mouth was visible and mixed with the falling snow
Oh man I have mixed feelings about this Akihito....
-Am I jealous? - I muttered to myself
Jah...yes that's probably it, I'm jealous of my fiancée's ex....but why should I?...
Just thinking that this boy received my Nana's affection makes my blood boil.
If her summoning was not essential for me to discover Nana's and my motive in this world, I would have rejected the help in her summoning immediately.
I got home and the first thing I saw....went to Lara sitting lazily on the armchair while reading a book
Wow, what a big change!
-I'm back- I said closing the front door behind me
-Yes- Lara muttered while still buried in her book.
-Rudy, welcome, dinner is almost ready- Sylphie said from the kitchen
I went to see her and hugged her from behind, kissing her.
-Hehehe, don't be impatient- she said with a silly laugh
-Where is Nana? I want to talk to her about something important- I said seriously
Sylphie noticed my tone and was a little surprised but nodded.
-Nanahoshi is upstairs, she just got out of the jacuzzi, I'll let you know when dinner is ready- Sylphie said
I went up the stairs, reached Nana's room and knocked on the door.
-Nana, are you here? I want to talk to you seriously- I said.
-You can come in Rudy- Nana answered from the other side
I walked into the room and was greeted by the sight of Nanahoshi half naked in nothing but white panties.
-What do you need?- she said to me while sitting on her bed and putting on a bra.
Putting my carnal desires out of my head I pulled the paper out of my robe
-Nana, Alek went on a mission to a small country just today, he discovered this in one of the hidden basements of that country's palace- I said putting the drawing on his bed
Nana put on her bra and looked at the drawing and made a surprised expression.
-Rudy!....these are the same as the circles I made at university...- Nanahoshi murmured with a surprised expression
-Yes, that's why I wanted to talk to you about this, although it's incomplete, could you tell me if you notice any help?- I said.
-Of course- he told me as he quickly finished getting dressed.
Nana spent less than 5 minutes looking at the drawing while putting on expressions of confusion and surprise.
-Rudy...although this circle is incomplete, it is to summon living beings...more specifically humans- Nana murmured.
-Yes, we believe that this circle is designed to summon... to summon Shinohara Akihito- I murmured.
Nanahoshi looked at me in disbelief and then at the circle.
-And then what do you plan to do?- she asked.
-Heh...that's the same thing I wanted to ask you- I said.
Nananoshi put on a thoughtful expression
-Akinito used to be my boyfriend... but we fought before I ended up here, now I have no feelings for him- Nanahoshi said firmly
I was surprised by this but I think she noticed my state when I talked about him.
-Now I love you Rudy and I don't plan to stop, but we still need to know why I'm here- Nanahoshi said
-In short, we should invoke him, right?- I murmured.
Nanahoshi looked at me with an apologetic smile and caressed my cheek.
-There is no other way, but the owner of my body is you- Nanahoshi said and then kissed me
Oh dear that sounded like a dialogue from an Ntr manga
After agreeing, we went down to have dinner, luckily Roxy had already returned and we were all together as a family.
Tomorrow I would go to the great forest
