For the first time since I have been here, I have finally gone through the forest. On the way their Yem and Gem were singing a song
Time to hunt goblins, time to hunt goblins, hunt them all day. Hunt them till the night. Hunt them when your tired, and hunt them when your awake, la la la la
The song was very cringy, but I didn't realise that Gemmi could sing that well. I mean she was part of a band back in school. But she said if I'm there she would get nervous. It didn't take long till we saw the destruction caused by the minor goblins. Dead sheep everywhere. We could hear the goblins; they were screaming. But those screams sounded like horrible yodelling.
We ran over to the noise, and see 6 minor goblins and a larger one,
" This is the size of a goblin tribe. 6 minor ones and a regular one normal goblin tribes have a goblin king" says Yem
In front of the goblins is a middle aged girl, next to her are two injured guards. What's next I'll meet with the other heroes at some point and fight them, ha. Gem unsheaths her sword, and I create an Ice sword but cover it in a trap web for extra strengthening and we have 'Webbed Ice Blade'. Yem then chucks a book into the air, it starts glowing and floating.
" O Gods and Goddess, Please grant extra strength too these warriors so they can rescue another human soul" she says
Then a yellow glow covers my body, I feel stronger, faster, and have a lot more energy to waste killing the goblins. Me and Gem charge forwards, the goblins notice quickly and charge at us. And with a few slashes all 6 minor goblins have been decapitated by Me and Gem. All that is left is the regular goblin, this one has a sword. I look at Gem and we charge. I attack first but I let it block on purpose then Gem comes in with the final blow to its neck. The Goblin turns limp. In the corner of my eye Yem is collecting the ears so we go and help the rich looking women.
I kneel down besides the guards and use the heal skill of mine that I learned after losing to Myth. All their wounds heal except for the larger ones but I manage to stop most of the blood.
The guards thank me. The woman stands up.
" Excuse me, are you Tota, the Betrayer. The hero that betrayed the party"
I'm stunned, betrayed Wow those other heroes must have gotten massive egos and love to look down on people. I thought I changed. I'm taller, more handsome and I'm wearing a leather chest plate, normal shorts and a black cloak with a hood.
" Betrayed, what do you mean, they kicked me out here. But I don't mind it" I respond with.
" My Apologies, I never like those heroes, the guys always hitting on me even though I'm engaged and the girls talking crap. Anyway I am Princess Avery, but you can call me Ave" she says
" Nice to meet you, I'm Tota these are my friends Gem and Yem" I say,
" At midday can you guys meet me outside the guild" she says
" Okay" I say, I hope it's money, I want to get Gemmi a necklace or something or a new sword.
We return back to the guild, it's pretty much the same as before, maybe a bit more chaotic. Myth is standing where Yem was before, he greets us and grabs a bag.
" hand over the ears, and I shall give you your reward. I heard you saved the princess." he says
We hand over the stuff,
" Money!!!, let's split it three ways"
We split it three ways, later I shall do some shopping, a clock chimes its midday. We leave the guild and outside is a very fancy looking carriage. Standing outside it are the guards we saved and the princess.
" Tota, Gem, and Yem. Come I'm bringing you to the capital for a reward,"
We get in, the carriage is insanely comfy, Gemmi is rubbing her face on a pillow mumbling about how fluffy it is. The princess sits opposite to us, the guards drive it ( with the help of horses of course) I sit across from the door, Gemmi in the middle, she puts a pillow on my lap and lays down, she gets carriage sick, and Yem by the door.
" Umm, Ave. The king said I'm not allowed in the capital anymore" I say
" Don't worry, father will let me do anything I ask"
The carriage starts moving, Gemmi is asleep already mumbling something about me and her eating cupcakes. Yem is sleeping against the side of the carriage. The ride is very smooth, which surprises me because in most isekai something happens like bandits etc. but It does not and it goes smoothly. We arrived back in the capital. As soon as the carriage entered the border guards surrounding it, I noticed two older boys. It must be the egotistical cocky ones, we stop outside the infamous castle. We hop out of the carriage.
I hear the heroes talking about me,
" Why is he here? I thought he would be dead already."
Ouch, that's not nice. I hope they get a nice left right goodnight soon Or it will be me doing that.
" He probably attacked the princess and lost so she's bringing him and his crew to be executed". Says the other one.
Wow, did mum never tell you not to jump to conclusions,
We made our way into the building, I had to eventually grab Gems hand because she kept trying to run off and explore. In an ironic romcom moment, we enter the throne room, nothing has changed except the people standing by the king are the heroes that were summoned with me.
I sigh.
" Hello warriors, I am the King- wait, why is he here? I was told he was dead. Terren come here".
A guy in a suit walks over,
" Your majesty, I was told to get rid of him I didn't think that meant-"
" Enough April kill him"
A blonde girl, In a suit of amour. Slices him in half. I put up shields around Me, Gem and Yem. I think I know where this is going.
" Father, These guys saved me from monsters, spare them and reward them. If it wasn't for them this kingdom would have no future"
" My daughter, this man betrayed the Kingdom and didn't choose to be a hero, why are you protecting him"
" He saved me, with them" Ave protests,
" He probably, has some demon magic that lets him manipulate people, are you going to let him do that to your daughter" says the guy in a priest clothes, I think his name is Kerien,
" He even has a disgusting Wolf girl with him" says April,
" Your majesty, they did nothing. That man you say betrayed you, Healed two holy knights and saved the life of the princess" says one of the knights that I healed.
Listen to them, stupid king.
The king signals to the red haired girl- Serena, and April. In one quick move both those knights are dead.
" Father what are you"
" ENOUGH! Avery."
" Kill them, they manipulated my daughter, that means they declared war on our kingdom".
April raises her sword up, and slams it down, cracking the shield I put in place.
" You guys Kill them"
I look at Gem, We always have a plan when were getting in a people disadvantage fight, Fire balls are getting fired around at us, we keep dodging them, I put ice on the ground and allow Gem to slide under Aprils sword, while I block and attack from Serena's dagger with my Ice blade. But they overpower too much, now we are surrounded. The king is screaming to kill us, while the princess is yelling at them to stop.
I would guess this is where I die, but I got plot amour. Ha ha, suddenly there's a blinding light above us, it's a massive shining golden sword. It starts falling at a fast speed, but it slams into something. It's a shield, not mine but more powerful it's Yem, she's smiling but something isn't right, I look down. There is multiple stab wounds in her chest,
" Yem, I'll heal you" I say trying to move, but I'm frozen in fear. Tears are streaming down Gems face,
" Start a nice calm life with Gem, Tota. Get as far away from here as possible" Yem says before collapsing, the shield and sword disappear
The so called heroes are moving closer to us,
" HA, look at them cry, your friend is dead. Your no hero, we have control of the king so I will kill you and I'll keep that Animal for personal things" laughs Kerien
I stand up, Gem is on the floor curled up crying, they made two mistakes, one killing my friend and making my best friend Cry.
" You're no Priest, you so called hero," I say
" Talking back, are we weak men, your magic can't do anything to us," says April who tries to kick Gem, I grab her and slide her next to me,
I really did not want to do this, but oh well, I take a deep breath.
" You want war don't you" I say as loud as possible
" Big sis spider can you help me here" I whisper
" Here you go" I say
" Yay, wait this is a sad moment, I shall activate the attack mode of your abilities." says Spidete.
My eyes change to the colour of space, it looks as if you can see endless galaxies inside them.
With a click of my fingers, I trap all of the so-called heroes in web. Next the King.
I Charge at the King, draw my Ice blade, it's covered inch by inch in the very strong web. I go for the head. Everything goes black.
I woke up in the place where I met the goddess. Next to me is a sleeping Gem, whos lying on Big sis spider's lap.
" Sis, why did you bring me here, I would of won the war" I say
" I gave you a bit too much strength and the king needs to be alive for the future anyway, but first. I know you are in love with her, confess she feels the same. And then I will send you to a cabin in the woods, and you can live there until you're found or you die. Don't worry there is a school nearby where you can send your kids there. And I will come visit in a human form every now and then"
Gem is lying there, face as red as a tomato.
" See, are you in love with each other" big sis says
" I am" I say confidently, but in my head I am begging for her to say the same
" I-I am too" she says,
My heart nearly explodes out of my chest,
" with the goddess powers within I declare you married for all eternity"
A ring with a blue crystal appears on our ring fingers. Now I shall send you to that cabin…
The three of us appear outside a regular sized wooden cabin, it looks relatively clean, there is a garden beside it blooming with plant life. We walk inside their is a lounge with a kitchen, and a bedroom with two single beds inside it, the house had a bathroom and storage as well,
" We can have you too in the same bed till your over 15 can we, don't worry about cleaning I have enchanted this place and the forest is fill with animals and their is a village nearby fill with all different types of people, elves, beastfolk, dwarfs and humans, later" says Spidete,
She vanishes, where she was standing now has a bag full of gold and a note
I'll come visit when your 20,
We decided to go hunting that night, we caught some deer, and I cooked it with some vegetables. I'm glad I can use some of the useless skills this entire time.
" Darling"
" Gemmi, don't listen to everything Sister said, just call me Tota like normal"
" Okay, Since we are married can you explain who your sister is" says Gem
" She isn't my actual sister, as you know I'm from another world, she is a childish goddess who told me to call her sister."
" Okay, should we go shopping tomorrow?" suggests Gem
" Sure," I say
17 years pass with Gem and Tota living a quiet married life, all behind this line happened 17 years in the pass, now it's time for the true story too take place,
" Dad! Wake up" says a little girl with black hair but in her black hair is a purple strip of hair and wolf ears"
" Bad Dad" the little girl chops an older looking Tota on the head…
" Rui, I'm awake, so why did you wake me" I say grabbing her into a hug
" Mum is missing, wear is she. I'm going to be late to school" Rui says escaping my hug
I get up and Grab my lovely 5 year old daughter Rui and carry her to the living room.
" Your mother is outside in the garden, and I'm going to take you today anyway" I say
Rui looks like Gemmi when I first meet her, the only difference is that she is as much of a prodigy as me and as smart and stubborn. Btw when sis visited on our 20th that's when she told us about how to create Rui, she kept laughing so it took awhile. She also appeared when Rui was born and blessed her with a name, Ruinera but her friends and us call her Rui, I was sipping on some honey water ( I think it's this world's version of tea) when Rui walked out in her uniform, she grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the house nearly causing me to spill my drink. Outside, she ran over to my lovely wife Gemmi, ( I know it actually happened unlike most isekai, and I am only taking one wife) hugged her and ran back to me and we started walking to town,
The town is called Azerd. It's quite a lot smaller than our old home, Myth probably thinks I'm dead. Everyone is nice, we know pretty much everyone, Rui has quite a lot of friends too. The school is a bit out of the town so they can have a nice field to play around in, the school is wooden and quite run down. We are walking down the stone path, well I'm walking and Rui is skipping and humming a tune like her Mum. At one point I spot some people coming out of the forest, they look injured and I run over to heal them. My magic web has grown exponentially in the last 17 years.
" Hey, are you guys alright, I'll heal you" I say
" Thanks…. Tota the corruptor"
Wow, my nickname has changed, what did I do now, corrupt a country or something.
" Sorry who's that, I'm an ex-adventurer my name Is Shinji"
Yes, I'm known by my Japanese name here.
" We know its you, we have had the heroes track you down, while fighting the sealed orcales army, I looks like he's not making a move yet though"
" Very well, I'm living a normal life here, with my family. And the king ordered them to kill me. Ask the princess for proof"
" the princess is missing, we know you have her" he says
" Dad, who are these people" says Rui
" They are adventurers, who decided to be a pain in the ass" I say to Rui, blocking a sword swing with a shield.
" You own slaves do you, I mean it's a beast so do what you… wait I'll take her for my own"
Why do men have to be such creeps, I created my infamous webbed Ice blade.
" Cover you ears and eyes Rui, dads gonna talk to these people"
They just called my daughter a slave and want to do horrendous things to her that means death. The soldier I was speaking to puts an arm on my shoulder, there are three of them.
" If you give her too me, let's say this meeting never happened"
Slash, I cut his throat open
" that's for calling my daughter a slave"
The other guys charge forwards, I block all their swords slashes with a shield I create the size of my hand. I cut another's throat.
" That's for trying to call me a creep, and you being a creep"
The other guy is on his knees looking up at me as if I am the devil himself.
" Please, I-I didn't do anything.. I won't tell anyone abo-"
I cut his head off, " that's for laughing and not stopping your leader from calling my daughter a slave and being a creep"
levitate the bodies using wind magic, and burn them to ashes,
" You can look Rui" I say
" Did you talk to them about bullying" says Rui
" I made them feel so bad they turned to ash"
I then walk her to school…
Rustling in the bushes, is a man and a woman in black clothes, they both have red eyes and pointed ears, they are followers of the seal Oracle.
" That's a Hero, what's he doing with a kid? And why is he killing people he should be working with" says the man
" that's the strongest hero, the one the world betrayed," says a female voice
The followers turn around, standing before them is Gem, with her sword drawn, it's expensive looking its base is metal with a gold outline and the handle is made of the finest leather,
" Are you going to kill him" says Gem
" Yes, we have to, do you want in" says the man
" You idiot," say's the women, but it's too late his body is already split in two,
" that's the heroes wife, Gem the ragnarok wolf" she says to the corpse
" that's what you get for trying to disturb father and daughter bonding time, now lady your next"
The woman stands us and draws a sword, the sword looks like it's made out of blood and has mouths all around it.
" Nice to meet you Ragnarok Wolf, I'm 10 the 10th commander of the lord's army, you shall die before my blade"
" That's a name I'm not fond of," says Gem, positioning herself…
