79.

After cleaning up, Noctis bought two GT androids from the shop, what came in front of Noctis was a character he knew very well, he was very surprised as well. He didn't think that these guys would appear after buying the GT android.

Those two are twins, Android 17 and 18.

"So... do I have to give you two new names or do you want to be called 17 and 18 respectively?" Noctis asked the two who started powering up as they opened their eyes and they stared at him.

"We are fine with our names." 17 said.

'System, use my points and infuse the intermediate farming knowledge and intermediate cooking knowledge to them.' Noctis thought and the system sent the knowledge to 17 and 18's database.

"You know what to do. Once you finish, you can do what you want as long as no one disrupts the sleeping schedule." Noctis said as he asked the system to open the private farming space as they entered and did their task.

When Noctis came up, he saw Irene coaxing the children who are on the verge of crying and looked at me with a helpless gaze. I then went towards the kids and talked with them.

"What's the matter? Is something wrong?" Noctis asked the trio.

"Father, why are they leaving us? Are we bad people?" Asked Kagura.

Noctis then got confused as to why the kids asked him that.

"No, baby, we are not bad people." Noctis said.

"Then why are they leaving us? Grandma and Brandish are going to leave." Erza said and Noctis was still confused. He can understand their grandmother, but why Brandish?

Seeing his confusion, Irene whispered the matter to him. Turns out, Brandish was going on a journey with August and would take them a year before they come back.

"So you thought that Brandish and Grandma is going to leave you forever?" Noctis asked as he patted the trio's head as they nodded.

"Listen, they are not going to leave forever, okay? Brandish is going to spend time with her grandfather and your grandparents went back home to help your uncle and aunt at the floating island." Noctis explained to the trio as he thought that the kids need to interact with different people.

"How about this, tomorrow, why don't you help father? You know math now right?" Noctis asked the three and they nodded like little chickens.

"How about this, let's me teach you a game. The goal of the game is, the one who can remember names the most is the winner." Noctis said as he drew the attention of the trio.

"Tomorrow, you three will be responsible in collecting the money from the customers and you'll ask their name. Then after the batch of customers left, you will recite their name to me. The one who can recite the most correct names will win. The winner will receive a bowl of ice cream." Noctis said to the three and they were fired up and determined. He successfully managed to redirect his daughters' worries but he knew that it was only delaying the inevitable.

With the two androids in his possession, Noctis could spend more time with the children and Irene. He have also made a plan to expand the tavern, One part is for the customers of FT world while the other tavern, which he will personally cater will be the ones that will enter the dimensional door. Though he still need to upgrade the system probably two more times to get the dimensional door. He also plans on making the currency in rhe second tavern different. What he wants is ingredients.

Ordinary ingredients would earn them a meal while the rarer the ingredients being paid, the raree the ingredients Noctis will use in making a food. He wouldn't even mind on splurging to buy a rare herb or meat from the system to match the rarity of the ingredient involved.

But Noctis didn't have to think about that for now, what he needs right now is to spend time with the kids.

Noctis then lied down with the chipmunks as he told them the story of the Prodigal son.

"A long time ago... there was a rich person. He had two sons. One of them is very obedient and hardworking..." Noctis glanced at the chipmunks who were listening.

"But he has another son, who is disobedient and doesn't work really hard..." Noctis continued on with his story and when the story was about to reach the climax, he noticed that the chipmunks were already sleeping peacefully and only Irene was listening to him.

Noctis stood up and arranged the chipmunks' sleeping position before covering them with a quilt.

Irene looked pretty annoyed and she seemed to want to know what happened next to the story. Seeing this, Noctis just chuckled as he led Irene back to their room.

The two then lied down on the bed and Noctis looked at the annoyed Irene. Her face even when she was annoyed still looked pretty cute. Seeing Noctis taking pleasure on looking at her face, Irene pouted which dealt a critical damage to Noctis as he felt the blood on his nose was about to rush out but he held himself.

"Do you want to know what happened next?" Noctis asked as he teased Irene.

Irene in response, just pinched Noctis' skin.

"Just continue with it. It was just getting to the good part and you cut it." Irene said as she waited for Noctis to speak.

"The second son, after he lost everything..." Noctis then started narrating to Irene who was intent on listening to his story.

"The first son who heard from the servant on what his father did to the second son after he returned became angry...." Noctis then continued to the end while Irene was still listening on his story.

"A pretty good story." Irene commented but she can never get enough of Noctis' story telling and his story is always entertaining and would draw you in.

"Do you want to hear more?" Noctis asked Irene. Noctis thought of getting Irene a present since Irene and Erza's birthday is two months from now and they were born at the same day. Noctis thought of getting Irene something like the series of Harry Potter since she loves books and he plans on getting something like a story book for the chipmunks.

"Sure, do you have more?" Irene stared at Noctis enthusiastically.

"Give me a kiss first." Noctis said and Irene did what he asked and he caught Irene's lips as he gave her a deep kiss.

"The next story is about a man who is a man of respectable honor and integrity. His name is Zack Fair. At first, he is a pipsqueek, a weakling, but as his mentor Angeal Hewley, trained him and the more Zack gained experience in the battlefield. He was promoted as one of the strongest soldiers in the army... unfortunately, fate has other plans with him..." Noctis then told the entire storyline of Zack to Irene. She was drawn in by the story, the tragedies, the challenges that Zack faced head on.

Although the ending was that Zack died, Irene thought it was normal considering Zack dreams of becoming a hero. Someone will only be remembered as a hero when they died.

After listening to the story, the couple finally slept as they were embraced by the darkness of the night.
