Deity 2.313

Viggo rode in the runic lion with Sakura and Ana, where the biggest disturbance occurred when they arrived in the blacksmith district. Adventurers who quoted new weapons, armor, or repairs, were breathless at the sight of the huge runic lion. Viggo attracted a lot of attention for its huge construction and its pleasing appearance to the eye. Now with the rune beast, it was impossible for people to forget.

However, Viggo did not stop and only advanced with Sakura and Ana down the street until he arrived in front of Tsubaki's workshop. Viggo got off first, then took Sakura by the waist and lower. Finally, he takes Ana by the waist and the bottom.

Sakura and Ana stared at Viggo to see what he was doing, but the latter only had to put his hand on his forehead and the energy of which the runic mount was composed vanished. Viggo held something in his hand, turned his palm showing the medal, and gestured with his wrist as if he were a magician. The medal disappeared inside the ring that Viggo had on his index finger of his right hand and gave the impression to most that he had done magic.

Viggo looked at Ana and Sakura, smiled slyly, and walked to the gate of the workshop. He took out a key from his ring and when he stopped in front of the metal gate with vertical planks, he inserted the key and the turn. A slight click sounded and pushed the gate. Then Viggo stepped aside and stretched out his hand, letting Sakura and Ana enter first.

Sakura and Ana nodded, advanced first, and then Viggo entered. The latter took the metal gate and looked outwards. All the passers-by in the blacksmith district were gathered outside Tsuabaki's workshop. They looked as if someone had stolen their souls, and they couldn't believe what they had seen.

Viggo closed the gate and turned around. Then he saw Sakura and Ana, both beautiful and curvaceous. Daughters of Sparta dressed in purple armor above and below black clothing. Sakura wore her shoulder-length purple hair and Ana wore it long to her ankles.

Viggo walked ahead and they followed him to the blacksmith shop. However, only when entering did they get a surprise. Kenshin, the baby of a little more than a year slept in his crib in a corner of the workshop. On the other hand, the most surprising thing was that Tsubaki, and her three disciples were tempering a huge sword.

A blond boy took long tweezers and held the metal red-hot. He had grease stains and sweat running down his face as he strained to keep the metal from escaping. At the same time, a blonde girl and a dark-haired boy occupied huge hammers. The boy and the girl coordinated. While one lifted the hammer the other hit the red-hot metal and so on, they took turns.

At the same time, Tsubaki was next to them guiding them and correcting how they hit the metal. From time to time, she looked at the boy who was holding the metal with the tongs and made a gesture with her index finger for him to turn the metal. Then the same tempering process began again.

Viggo stared for a minute, but then Kenshin woke up in his crib. The baby had red hair like Viggo, but his eyes were slanted like his mother's. Chubby-looking and rosy cheeks. He was one year old and as a little demigod, it was not difficult for him to stand up and lean on the railing of the crib.

—Daddy— the baby cried.

Of course, Viggo couldn't hear his voice. The rattling of metals was loud, but it was on the lookout. So, before Kenshin climbed onto the railing to get out of the crib, Viggo was already there to take him in his arms.

Lately Uriel and Kenshin had become reckless and, on several occasions, found them on the verge of falling from their cribs.

Viggo held Kenshin to his chest and looked at that tender face with chubby cheeks and red hair. He was small, but he looked sturdy and energetic. Viggo wondered if he was like that when he was a baby, too.

At the same time, Sakura and Ana approached Viggo's sides and gave Kenshin a lot of kisses on his chubby cheeks. At the same time, they noticed that the beating of metals stopped. Viggo raised his face and looked towards the anvil where Tsubaki and her apprentices work. Between the boy and the blonde girl, they took the metal to the forge to leave it in the oven while the dark-haired boy picked up the tools, sorted them and cleaned the workspace.

On the other hand, Tsubaki walked to Viggo. She was wearing a leather apron filled with grease and soot stains.

Tsubaki arrived in front of Viggo while Sakura and Ana pulled away. Tsubaki approached Kenshin and kissed him on the cheek, but avoided touching him because her hands were dirty. Then Tsubaki looked at Viggo, a head taller than her and Viggo bent down to kiss her on the lips.

Tsubaki turned her face away with a big smile on her lips and asked —How are you, danna-sama?—

—Here, I came to look for you, but we tried the runic mounts in passing— said Viggo.

—That— Tsubaki said with a serious smile —Did you remember Ken-chan?—

—Of course, he is the last to receive his runic summoning—

Sakura and Ana looked at each other curiously, and then looked at Viggo. He had told them that the other runic creature needed a lot of mana.

Viggo pulled out a medal from his ring on his right hand while holding Kenshin with his left hand. He looked at Tsubaki and held out the medal to her. He then took a needle out of his ring and held it out to Tsubaki.

—What do I do with this?— asked Tsubaki with a confused look.

—Simple, each medal with runic invocation has a curse of protection. Only the summoner linked to the medal can summon the beast—

—Do you mean?—

—That you must prick Ken-chan's finger and stain the medal with a drop of his blood—

Tsubaki looked at the medal in her left hand and the needle in her right. Then she looked at her red-haired baby. So, she frowned and looked at Viggo as if he was her enemy.

—Hey, don't look at me like that— said Viggo —it's not like you're doing him any great harm, although he may cry a little. However, when Ken-chan sees his runic summoning, he won't even remember—

Tsubaki frowned until she marked a line between her eyebrows, but then she let out a sigh and looked at Sakura —help me, please— she said.

—Sure, leave it to me— Sakura said and walked over.

—No— Tsubaki said —I just need you to hold the medal, I'll take care of the other thing—

Sakura smiled and stretched out her right hand. Tsubaki put the medal down in Sakura's hand and looked back at her baby. She swallows from just thinking about pricking his little fingers, but anyway, she takes his right hand, turn the hand and without thinking twice, prick his index finger.

As a reflex effect the baby began to cry and wanted to hug Viggo, but Tsubaki held his hand and saw huge tears falling down her cheeks. Tsubaki looked at Sakura and saw the medal in the palm of her hand. Tsubaki took the medal, brought it to his finger, and when a small drop of blood formed, he brought his finger closer to the medal.

—Ready— said Viggo.

Tsubaki gave the medal to Sakura and then took her baby from Viggo. She hugged him no matter how dirty she was and looked at Viggo with a frown.

Viggo made an awkward smile, then looked at Sakura, took the medal and channeled mana so that the curse would take Kenshin's blood and seal the single-use pact. The medal emitted a bluish glow, and the bond was made. Viggo looked at Tsubaki and she looked at him back.

—It's ready— said Viggo.

—Show me— Tsubaki said with a frown —it better have been worth it—

Viggo smiled, brought the medal to Kenshin, and the little guy touched it with his fingers. Then the bond between the medal and Kenshin was activated, and a bluish energy spread forming a small energy ball. Then a body, four legs, a head and two long ears were formed.

Tsubaki opened her wide eyes as she watched as the shape of a small rabbit was formed in detail.

Once the rabbit formed in Viggo's hands, she brought it to Kenshin and the boy stared at him as tears streamed down his cheek. He stopped crying automatically and extended his small hands to touch him. Kenshin was fascinated with the runic rabbit and hugged it without a second thought.

—What's so special?— asked Tsubaki as she watched her son hug the little runic rabbit.

—Follow Kenshin's will. If he tells it to move forward, the rabbit will advance. If he tells the rabbit to hide, it will hide. If the rabbit is lost, Kenshin only must think that the rabbit must come back, and the rabbit will come back—

Kenshin looked at Tsubaki and breathed in through the mouth with a shocked expression.

—Yes, it's pretty— Tsubaki said with a beautiful smile as she saw her son's shocked expression.

Kenshin looked at her with wide eyes and smiled not caring about the previous pain. However, suddenly the little rabbit jumped out of Kenshin's arms and started jumping all over the workshop as Kenshin looked at him. Passing through the tools, climbed to the worktables, walked near the forge, but as if it understood that the fire was dangerous, it moved away and continued to circle.

—Ok, this isn't good— Tsubaki said as her smile faded.

—Why?— asked Viggo, tilting his face and narrowing his eyes.

—I'm sure he'll learn to cause chaos very soon—

However, only Tsubaki was missing from mentioning the topic and the noise of many metals falling to the ground was heard. She and Viggo looked over and saw the little rune rabbit come out from under a pile of swords that were previously leaning on the wall.

Tsubaki looked at Viggo very angrily and Viggo raised his shoulders while smiling as if it wasn't his fault.

—Viggo, I don't even want to imagine the chaos the children must have in the house— Tsubaki said.

—Well, let's say it's a way to learn the scope of runic summons—

—Viggo— Sakura said —you said that the lion's runic summoning took up a lot of mana, but the runic rabbit can move around the workshop —in the background more metals were heard falling to the ground—and Kenshin is a baby—

—Oooh, that— Viggo said with a huge smile —it's because the rune rabbit is small and can only jump back and forth, but it can't do anything. On the other hand, if I threw the rune lion at a level five adventurer, the runic lion would tear him to pieces—

—Oooooh— Sakura said, impressed by the level of strength of the runic summon. Now she understood why he consumed so much mana. Simply put, it was a combat tool. Then she opened her wide eyes and understood more deeply the reason why Viggo and Rosewisse dedicated themselves to creating such a thing.

—Viggo, stop that demon animal before it destroys the workshop— Tsubaki roared in total anger.

Kenshin shook when he heard his mother's yelled and began to cry.
