-----------------------------------

It's been a few days since we got to the 7 Mountains sect, and things were pretty quiet… too much, I'd say. It seems like I went back to the previous days of being able to enjoy Saeko-chan and Kurisu's bodies!!

Well... the only problem was that the combination of girls who had accompanied me was not the most appropriate. With Rei following Haruna's advice that I should hold back a bit, it seems like her and the other girls' patience in giving us time to enjoy something like a little honeymoon between us is over!

Also having the support of Turla who does not seem to have listened to the advice of her grandfather, and that Cleirsa usually tried to teach things to the other girls from this Area by taking them to various places, were quite difficult to be able to spend some time with Saeko.

Well, maybe I can't blame Rei and the other two girls that much… probably the main reason for this was rather caused for Vrana- chan. Since she was quite cheerful and energetic because she wants to show me all her strength, then she would not leave my side!

...although Saeko-chan is quite accommodating with me, asking her to ignore Vrana-chan while we do it was too much. Besides... I don't think that little harpy will sit around doing nothing if she starts looking how I and Saeko have sex!

I don't have so much trouble with letting Vrana-chan experience that if she's interested, but… if I do, surely things with Haruna and some other girls would be much more troublesome than if they just caught me having sex with any of the other girls!!

...even though Haruna is quite a calm and sweet woman, I don't want to experience what she is like when she's angry! Seriously, I know that a woman like that can be very scary when her fury comes to the surface!!

Haa~ because of this, I could only spend time distracting my mind by training. And thanks to that, the opinion about me of the two old men who came to this house on several occasions seems to have increased a bit.

Also, I take advantage of those times to learn more about this Area. Apparently there are three fairly large Clans that are the strongest here, and each of these has several members who are at the peak of the strength of a level 2 Soul.

One specializes in concentrating the energy in their fists to deliver strong blows, another in their feet exerting powerful kicks, and the last one using weapons like swords, spears, and so on.

These three Clans have a very bad relationship with each other to the point that repeatedly there have been fights with the aim of eliminating the other 2. Unfortunately for them, at being 3 groups, one cannot fight with the intention of winning or lost everything against another clan for fear that the remaining one will take advantage of this.

That has created a situation where there are only a few skirmishes where the resentment against the others only increases but in the end they have to hold back and come to a momentary truce.

Because of that, while those three clans are concentrating on how to harm each other, mid-level organizations like this sect can develop without much trouble. And most of these groups remain in a neutral state of non-intervention between those 3 clans.

It is understandable, there is little point in trying to win the favor of one of them and then as a result of that to antagonize the other 2. The groups that did that can only curse their stupid leader for not thinking things through as they would be quickly destroyed.

Well, the truth is that what happened to those three clans did not matter much to me. I did not intend to join that fight and take my place at the top of the pyramid in this Area. I just wanted to get Lena's granddaughter back, and focus on my training and keep moving forward in this big world called Gaia.

After all, I don't find much sense in conquering every place I visit and becoming its ruler ... or at least I don't see the need for that.

There was only one small problem for me...

The situation in this Area that those 3 clans had made, was simply the best for the development of the Alchemists Guild [Thousand Cauldrons]! It seems that the guild had become the greatest with that business here!!

Since this guild has become quite important for those three clans to nurture their descendants, then this one practically ranks in one of the best positions among all the groups in this Area!

One of these clans cannot force them to work solely for them because of the intervention of the other 2… probably if that were the case, then they might even exploit them as slaves. But… in the position they are in now, they can even make those Clans bleed a bit in resources!!

After all, if one doesn't buy the pills and other things from these Alchemists at the asking price, there is a chance that the other two will!! So guilds specialized in creating consumable things like pills, scrolls, weapons, or in general the artisan and trade guilds have been able to develop in this place quite well.

… Well, of course there are also problems between those types of guilds to get to a good position, but those with the level of the [Thousand cauldrons] guild of course would not be as stupid as those clans to allow another organization to become stronger too much.

Damn stupid clans! That is simply to be feeding a small tiger cub so that in the end it ends up devouring you!! And the worst thing is that they made my situation more difficult because of that!!

If I somehow get rid of the [Thousand Cauldrons] guild, they could get in my way! Or worse yet, I may win a big grudge from those three clans!!

Well, I'll have to worry about that later... now it doesn't make much sense to think about that.

Besides, it seems that for now I was taking advantage of the [Thousand Cauldrons] Guild as well... the pills that the former King of Delna gave me were products of that guild. And these pills were one of the things that previously when I spoke a little with Aurora and I wanted to try to obtain!

It was about [2x Concentration Mana Pills-G]! And its function was none other than to make the value of a person's training, double it. Well, more precisely, they helped the people who consumed them to absorb the energy twice to strengthen their energy core! For example, let's say that a person takes 2 months to rise to the limit where he is, by consuming them then he could achieve it in about a month!

The sect gave me and the girls who were core disciples now, 30 for each one. And from what Cleirsa told me, each pill was worth 20,000 G in this Area! So they practically gifted several million G easily to all our group!!

Now my opinion of this sect improved a lot because of this. Well, this was one of the perks of being a core disciple. As wealthy as a sect was, it surely could not afford to treat all its disciples equally. Even so, if there were about 100 core disciples in a sect, then they have the spending of 60 million G per month or 6 million crystals… that was not little.

Although, it seems that the prices of these are a bit inflated… when I checked in the system, I could buy them with only 10,000 thousand G for each one... Half the price! That damn Alchemist guild is actually making all the other groups in this area bleed!!

Either way, if I think about it, I think I could easily afford to maintain this sect with my crystal mine in HOTD... of course, I do not intend to do that but... at least now I know that I would have no problem maintaining a great organization like this! Having a backup world was actually pretty cool.

As for how this sect is maintained themself, it seems that they have possession of the 7 mountains around here where monsters of good level appear for the disciples to hunt them and get profits with the crystals and materials of these. The sect takes the monsters the disciples hunt as merits and then they can exchange them for things such as better places to live, things like weapons, scrolls or pills, permits to enter the library, or personal classes of the instructors, Mayors, or elders.

They can also be sold in the Guild of the world, but the things I mentioned before you can hardly get them with Gold in the sect. Well, things like weapons, scrolls, and pills can be found in the external and internal disciple area, but the ones offered by the sect are of higher rank that can only be obtained if you have relationships with larger groups that make these.

"Did you finish training Alexander?

...I really do not is why you do not concentrate only on Chinese Kenpo. If you do that, then certainly you could advance more quickly in this!"

" Fufufu, I think it's good that he also practice other techniques, Renka- chan. In this world things like weapons are much better than in our worlds, and if I remember correctly the Chinese Kenpo also uses them"

"Well... that's true but... the style he's using now isn't that one!"

" Hahaha… well, it's not like I'm pretending to be a master only in that discipline. Ok, I think it's enough sword practice for now, Saeko-chan.

Then, we should go soon, Renka-chan "

Renka-chan who was with the other girls watching me while I train, complains a little when she sees me stop the practice with Saeko. And as she says, this time I was practicing with a pair of swords.

I previously obtained a coupon to buy a Weapons technique in the system and had used it when I came to this sect. After thinking about it for a bit, since the technique I had given to Saeko seemed good, then I decided to choose one from the same world.

[Kodachi Nitō Ryū], a technique that consisted of the use of two Kodachi (Short Swords). I still have my curse sword that has a very good Rank even in this area, but now I intend to follow more the teachings of Shigure. To do not focus on just one weapon and rather make use of these according to their advantages depending on the situation.

For example, I think using the cursed bastard sword is better for dealing with monsters since they are usually big, but using it against humans leaves large openings. Shorter weapons in that case are better. So, based on that same thought in my mind, I think two swords are better than one… although this may be more of a childish thought.

Then, to be able to practice this technique, I also bought a pair of Kodachi in the system ... well, thanks to God I also had other coupons for weapons and so my pocket did not suffer this time!

Well, I think it is necessary apart from learning the use of various weapons also to focus on the style of a main weapon like Shigure… but to do that, it would be best to first try some weapons and then decide what would be my main weapon.

"So, are you really leaving?"

"Master... roock ~"

"Yes, but I will return before the tournament which is in 3 months... I think I will be able to become stronger there than if I stay in this Area."

I had thought out and try to fight strong opponents in this area to attempt to improve my strength but... that was quite problematic. Going and antagonizing other people for just that reason was kind of silly, right? Or rather, it is not good to look for more enmities before dealing with Lena's enemy... and it is too early to deal with these.

I had planned to find a person with a level 2 soul to fight, but nothing guaranteed that I would face only one if I did... maybe I could face two with difficulties, but if there were more it would not be something that was only at the level of something difficult!

…I could have Mary and the other two girls on that level help me too, but in doing so I lost the purpose for that. Or if our opponents are at a disadvantage probably they will flee rather than decide to fight us.

As for looking for monsters at that level... things would be even more complicated. I was confident of giving a person with a level 2 soul a fight in this Area, but with monsters, I wasn't so sure. Like Vrana-chan and Scythe, most monsters at those levels begin to use the energy of their crystal more efficiently and can even develop dangerous abilities or traits!

So after thinking for a while, I thought it best to go back to Renka- chan's world. Maybe I could go to another world, but the previous problems may also be there.

But in the Renka-chan world, perhaps out of pride or just an unwritten rule between Masters, the fights at that level were usually between only 2 people! Also, there I could continue practicing under the guidance of the masters at the Ryozanpaku and continue to improve my skills!!

"Then the two of us are leaving."

""Yes… be careful""

After entering the house and patting Vrana- chan's head for a while to reassure her of my departure, I bring up my grimoire to create a dimensional rift.

I was only able to be with the girls for a few weeks, but I am quite happy about the progress in our relationship with some of them!

... also to this happiness was added that a few days ago the system made an announcement that Yuriko's affection had crossed the digit of 100! Probably she could solve things with Soichiro and take a step forward making a firm decision about us!

I feel that I forgot something important again… well, I can't remember anything right now and so it's probably not that important. I have several issues to resolve, so it probably can't be helped. First I will focus on the things I can do now, and then I will think about other matters!

Dismissing that little discomfort in my mind, I advance to the dimensional rift with Renka-chan.

(POV - Yuriko - Days before Alexander left for Kenichi's world )

At this time, I was in the cafeteria that normally several people who started this camp… no, perhaps now it is more correct to call it a small town or city. Well, I was here because this time I asked Soichiro for a moment of his time for us to talk.

…Now when I look at his face, it seems like all the bad feelings I had have greatly diminished. Well, it was not only that those feelings were disappearing now... but also the good things that I felt for him did it in the same way.

"How is your little son?"

"…it's okay. He seems to be quite a lively boy. "

"I'm glad to hear it…"

It's a bit strange how difficult it seems for the two of us to talk now… no, it may be natural since at this moment I am asking about the child he has with another woman. Haa~ Since the silence between us was quite uncomfortable, I tried to start a conversation, but… the truth is that it is difficult to find a topic to talk about and I could only remember that now.

I don't have a bad feeling towards that kid… though, maybe I can't say the same about that little bitch. Either way, continuing with that topic would be problematic and so I better decide to go straight to the point and talk about the topic for what I called him here.

" Soichiro, I have decided to start a relationship with someone else..."

"..."

"... I thought you had the right to know, and so I wanted to tell you that"

"..."

...I can't deny that I felt a little good by saying similar words that he had said before. Also, I thought that seeing this expressionless man change his expression a little as he does now, I would find it a bit pleasant. But… the truth is that even now it has lost its meaning a bit.

After all, I came mentally prepared to end our relationship as husband and wife completely. So if he even regretted it now and sought to change the things, I could only refuse ... it was too late for that now. Now that little boy has occupied the space that Soichiro had in my heart!

"... is it Alexander?"

"..."

This time it's my turn to be quiet. Also, I feel my face blush a bit!

I know him, so I understand that the possibility of him changing his thoughts now was almost nil, he was a pretty firm man in the decisions he makes after all. But I didn't expect him to find out who the person I was talking about... that caught me quite off guard!

No, not that he was a fool. Although Alexander and I took some measures not to make our relationship so obvious, it should be impossible that some rumors of the most important person in the camps, Alexander, and myself a leader of these did not spread a little.

"Yes…"

"..."

Either way, it seems I no longer can hide this matter now. Although I was a bit uneasy, I answer him affirming his assumption while lowering my gaze a little to hide my face. There were still many things that worried me about this being discovered!

That silly Haruna... how come she didn't care that her relationship with Alexander was discovered?!! Being in the same position as her now, I couldn't help but get nervous! No... our situations may be a little different.

Soichiro seems to want to say something, but in the end, only his mouth moves and no words come out... he has probably the same feelings I had that time in this same restaurant. But I think he understands very well that he cannot criticize me for that! Well... Alexander may indeed be a bit young, but the woman he has now is also the age of our daughter!!

…As for Mother and daughter being with the same man. There are already similar cases in the camps... it may be a bit strange yet, but this is what this world has become now. The population between both sexes has started to be quite unequal now and no one can hold on to the old standards.

...Fuck! I feel like I'm just justifying myself!!

"…Haa~ Well… I can't say he's a bad man after all he's done for this world. Without him, the world may have been totally ruled by zombies now.

... sorry, Yirko. I failed you as your husband. "

"…That doesn't matter now. Let's just strive to be happy now... each in their own way.

In addition, now we must concentrate on continuing to clean the other adjacent cities with the things that Alexander has given us. There are things that we can no longer be recovered, but there are others that we can. "

"…you are right"

In the end, he can only say that a little discouraged. Well now only both of us could go our own way. So I can only say those words to him to cheer him up a bit and to cheer myself up as well.

So, ending this discussion with Soichiro, I get up from the table to continue with the things I had to do. I feel like my eyes were a little wet, but that is not enough for the tears to come out now.

…Now I have to focus on making this place stable enough so that I can go with Alexander the next time I see him.
