Of loves and reasons 1.92

Viggo took the girls to visit Orario during the morning and about 12 o'clock in the day they went to the Guild of adventurers. At that time, Aina was present, so Viggo told Semiramis that it would be the best time to exchange the gold they had brought from that other land. In total, thanks to the good reception that the gold had, they were able to obtain one hundred million valis. In addition to that, Semiramis requested advice on the purchase of a land or a house. Of course, Scheherezade, Ana and Sakura also gave their opinion. However, in the end, everything remained in a "we will see" since all the houses that caught the attention of the girls, cost more than fifty million valis. So, first Semiramis would define what kind of business she wanted to start and how much capital she was going to need. Once that was decided, they would decide the theme of the house.

After leaving the Guild, Viggo took the girls to eat at a restaurant next to the tower of Babel, in the North sector. Everyone ate and drank in a good mood, praised the food, and enjoyed rich desserts.

Already when the afternoon fell and the atmosphere was a little cooler in the streets, everyone returned to the mansion. However, when they entered the mansion, Viggo said he had something to attend to, but that he would be back for dinner time. All the girls asked him what he was going to do, but he was elusive, so they frowned with total distrust and Viggo chose to excuse himself and leave through the front door. Then he advanced along the cobblestone road with the trees on the sides but stopped a few meters away as he heard someone coming out and closing the door.

Viggo looked back and saw Semiramis looking at him from the door. Her eyes emitted a glow that told him "Don't go one step further." Viggo just smiled funny and waited for her to come over. Semiramis raised her chin in a gesture full of pride and power, implying that she was the one in charge.

She walked with a firm step and stopped a meter from Viggo -Where are you going?- she asked in a strict tone.

Viggo swelled his smile, looked away as if looking for the answer, and then looked into her eyes. He approached to be only a few centimeters away from her. Semiramis looked him in the eye as if looking for the truth and Viggo said -I just want to see an old friend-

Semiramis narrowed her eyes and said -seems to be more than an old friend-

-I'm not sure about that, the last time we met was a few years ago; for her it's 2 and for me it's like 6-

Semiramis scrutinized his gaze as the wind blew through the surrounding forest rocking the branches and waving the leaves.

-Is it important to you?-

-She...- said Viggo, looking at the ground, thinking of his words, since he didn't want to say that Tsubaki was the one who was saving him when he behaved like a silly child. Viggo raised his face and looked Semiramis directly in the eye -she is my confidant, someone who helped me in many moments and saved me several times-

Semiramis clenched her lips at seeing him so determined to see that woman. However, Viggo went one step further and hugged her by the hips. She looked down and Viggo took his hand to her chin and lifted it up so that she would look him in the eye. Semiramis saw those intense blue eyes that glowed fondly. At the same time, Viggo gave her a tender kiss and said -don't worry, I haven't stopped loving you. I want you to be mine and possess you as much as you want to possess me. It's just that she, she's special to me. I have known her all my life and I have a great affection for her. With her I share a lot of things just like with you. On the other hand, as I told you I'm not sure what our relationship will be right now. She hasn't seen me for 2 years, maybe she forgot about me, maybe she found someone else, I don't know. That's why I want to see her and know what's going on between us-

-I'm too tolerant- said Semiramis, looking away in annoyance. Viggo let out a chuckle, took her face delicately, and turned it over to him to look at. They both saw each other's eyes and Viggo kissed her with all the passion a man could have for a woman as beautiful and whimsical as Semiramis.

After the long kiss, Viggo and Semiramis separated their lips, always looking into each other's eyes and seeing the desire in the gaze. Viggo nodded and whispered to her -yes, you are a tolerant woman, but don't think badly of me. It's just that, seeing you I can't help but wish you and want to hold you back, even if it makes you sad-

Semiramis shed a tear and looked down. Viggo put his hand on her chin and lifted her face. She looked him in the eye and Viggo pulled his face closer and wiped away her tears with his lips.

-Don't cry, you're special to me- said Viggo.

-Really?- asked Semiramis in a soft voice.

-Yes, I promise you- replied Viggo and kissed her with greater intensity than the previous time. Then he hugged her for a long time and waited for her to calm down. Once Semiramis calmed down, she told Viggo that if he really wanted her, he had to prove it. Otherwise, she would no longer be so tolerant of other girls. Viggo smiled at her threats, gave her a kiss, and gave her his promise that she would be above the others. That reassured Semiramis and told him that today he had to come back early. She would not accept that he would be absent from being with her in her room. To which Viggo responded with a kiss and a smile that made Semiramis smile.

Then Viggo advanced along the cobblestone road while the trees on the sides swayed in the afternoon wind. At the end of the road rose the large metal gate that separated the grounds of the mansion of Hephaestus with the street. However, Viggo stopped, turned to look back and saw Semiramis standing in the middle of the cobblestone road. He raised his arm above his head and waved his hand in farewell. To which Semiramis raised her hand at shoulder height and waved it in a soft and elegant gesture. Then Viggo turned his back on him and walked to the gate of the property to go outside.

Once Viggo was on the street, he advanced along the avenue that gave the blacksmith district its name. He passed by looking at the two-story houses made of bricks, with shops on their front and adventurers quoting their products. He could also see the long clouds of tubular smoke rising from the workshops in the backyards.

Half an hour later, Viggo arrived at a large plot of land, which had a small house and a large shed. The entire land was bordered by a cement tambourine that only allowed to see the upper part of the house and the shed. At the same time, Viggo could hear the ringing of the metal being tempered as the chimney at the top of the shed emitted large puffs of smoke rising to the sky.

Viggo smiled at the sight that Tsubaki never stopped in her effort to be a great blacksmith. He approached the front door and as he saw that it was closed, he jumped the tambourine like other times. Everything remained the same, he thought when he fell into the courtyard of the frontis. Tsubaki had no large fields of flowers or grass, so the whole floor was covered with stone cakes. However, as someone raised by a traditional woman, she had in one corner a ledge with several tiny trees.

Viggo advanced through a corridor to the left of the house until he found the shed and found the two large entrance doors, open. He looked inside and could see a dirty blacksmith shop; with pieces of iron everywhere, shrapnel of metal scattered on the floor, soot leaving stains of dirt. There were also shop windows on the sides of the walls, with many weapons ordered starting with short swords until reaching the spears. At the end of the shed was a large anvil in the middle of an open space and a fireplace recessed into the back wall. On the right side of the anvil was a woman with long dark hair hammering a long red-hot metal. She was absorbed in the task with a look full of concentration and determination. On the other hand, her brown skin stood out since she only covered the upper part with bandages that were responsible for retaining her huge breasts. At the bottom he wore a red hakama and wore wooden sandals just like her mother.

Viggo advanced through the shed and stopped a few meters from Tsubaki. He leaned on a concrete pillar that helped support the roof and looked at her for half an hour until she finally noticed it.

Tsubaki left the piece of metal that had been transformed into the blade of a sword on a long wooden table and made her way to Viggo. He straightened his back, looking into her eyes and she smiled at seeing him so mature and composed.

-I see that you are no longer a puppy that looks at the flesh indiscriminately- Tsubaki said with a haughty smile.

-No, not anymore, now I looked at the prey- replied Viggo.

Tsubaki narrowed her eyes, came in front of Viggo and looked at his face, noticing him much more handsome, taller, and masculine; they were almost of the same size. The tender child who a few years ago took what was hers, had disappeared and now there was only one man, one young, but one man, after all.

Tsubaki approached Viggo and he was waiting with his arms at his sides. She smiled maliciously and punched him in the face. Viggo dodged his fist and let it go. Then he caught her, and she was in his arms.

-Did you miss me?- whispers Viggo.

Tsubaki sniffed and said in a contemptuous tone -Who would miss a troubled brat?- then put her sweaty forehead on Viggo's chest. She continued with a soft tone of voice -it's just that one feels very lonely at times. One has friends, you know? And when you see all those idiots being happy with the person they chose, you feel somewhat bitter-

-Is it my fault?- asked Viggo with a smile.

Tsubaki raised her face and looked at him angrily. Then she punched him in the ribs and said in an annoying tone -of course it's your fault, you. Of course, it's your fault-

Viggo narrowed his eyes holding the pain of the punch and just hugged her. She also hugged him, kissed his neck and Viggo crouched his face to look for her mouth. Once the lips met, they shared a long, passionate kiss.

After a long kiss, Tsubaki separated from Viggo and said in a good mood -come, help me turn off the forge and order this. Then we can go in and eat something-

However, Viggo looked her in the eye and could see that she wanted more than just sharing a meal and chatting. He nodded and she smiled coquettishly.
