Nanahoshi and I entered the office and surprisingly today it was empty
-How strange..., oh, at this time the workers are already here...- I murmured confused
-My love, I think today is the day of rest- said Nanahoshi
This girl...will she start calling me my love?...it doesn't bother me but...I like my nickname "Rudy" better
-Day of rest? Like Sundays in our old world?- I asked him.
-Exactly, your version of the future told me during one of his visits that he implemented the policy of paid days off once every 10 days.-Nanahoshi said as she walked towards the stairs.
-10 days? Wasn't it every 7? - I asked as I followed her.
-Yes, that's what I asked, but you know that this world doesn't have the concept of weeks, right? So your version of the future opted for this- said Nanahoshi as we went up the stairs.
-hmmm I see, I murmured
We went up to the second floor where Orsted's office was and before knocking on the door I felt a grip on one of my buttocks...
Looking to my side, I saw Nanahoshi standing unfazed as she kept a firm grip on my buttock...
-Nana...what?...are you doing?- I asked a little excited
-Call me darling or my love, from now on- she answered me
What the hell? When did the serious and intelligent Nanahoshi become like this?...
-Well...dear...why are you grabbing my butt right now?!- I said while trying to pull his hand away But his grip grew stronger
-Give me a kiss and I'll let you go- she replied
...damn....
Following her orders I gave her a kiss on the lips and she released my buttock.
She smiled innocently at me and knocked on the office door.
-Orsted we have arrived- she said
-.... come in- Orsted replied dryly
We entered the office and sat in the chairs in front of his desk.
Orsted was writing on the message board
According to him, my version of the future created them for faster communication.
-I'm contacting the mayor of Sharia for a meeting- he said without looking at us
-Okay- I replied
I turned to my left and saw Alek sitting facing us, Kajakut was on the table and Alek had a fur coat in his hands.
-Mr. Rudeus, did you talk to your wives about our plan? Did they accept it? - he asked.
-Yes, they accepted it better than I thought- I answered remembering my nightly chat with them
-I see, if we had asked without having you here, they would have refused completely and the truth is I don't know what those women would be capable of to protect their legacy..- said Alek
-Yes, that's why I love them- he replied with a smile
I turned to my right and could see Nanahoshi with an adorable pout oooh...is my Nana jealous?
To calm her down I approached her and whispered in her ear
-You know I love you too, right?- I said.
She didn't answer but nodded blushing.
Alek noticed this and his eyes widened, but he didn't say anything and simply nodded to himself with a smile.
..
..
-Very well, now that your wives have agreed to our plan, it's time to work - said Orsted as he stood up from his chair.
Now we would go to the city cemetery
..
..
We arrived at the cemetery at approximately 10 in the morning
the caretaker was shoveling snow from the entrance when he saw us and opened his eyes wide,
He is a middle-aged man, I estimate him to be about 40 years old, he is a little overweight but nothing serious,he didn't ask anything and let us pass without further explanation
I could see some people leaving flowers on some graves, probably their dead relatives, but everyone looked at us in amazement when they saw us, especially Alek and Orsted, It is well known that two world powers reside in the city but still, for ordinary people to see them is surprising.
..
..
We went further into the cemetery, I had never been here even though Sylphie and Roxy told me that my deceased relatives reside here...it's just that I never worked up the courage to come here alone.
Nanahoshi took my hand and we walked towards a couple of graves, I could see a prominent one in the middle of some with a great finish on the stone and lots of flowers...
Our group stopped there and looked at the grave...
"Rudeus Greyrat K407-481"
It was the grave of my other self, it was well kept and had a photo of me stuck on the tombstone... I looked older, about 40 years old I guess.
Nanahoshi frowned at the grave and held my hand tightly as she leaned against me.
I'm here, but still even for me to see this is difficult..
-Well...are we going to dig it up now?- I asked.
I could see how both Orsted and Alek were looking at the grave with sadness.
-...not yet...we have to wait for the mayor of Sharia to proceed, we don't want this to look like we stole the body - said Orsted
-I understand- I replied
Looking at the graves on the sides I could see something that broke my heart
"Paul greyrath K388-K423"
"Zenith Greyrath K390-K458"
"Lilia Greyrath K389-K460"
"Eris Greyrath K405-K479"
These are the graves of my parents and Eris...
My father's grave is a little worn unlike the others because it was the oldest.
The photos of my mothers and Eris were a different shape of stone and had slightly worn photographs of them, my mothers looked older From what I remembered, Eris looked more mature, I estimate about 40 years old.
My future version must have put them this way....
Here lies my mothers and my fathers...(Sigh) Mom...and to think that we worked so hard to get you out of the labyrinth...now I won't be able to see you again...my Paul and Lilia...
I felt tears welling up in my eyes until I felt Nananoshi's hand in mine.
She gave me a squeeze and smiled at me.
I hugged her tightly and kissed her on the lips
-Thank you my love- I said
-No problem, I know this must be difficult for you my love,- she replied-
..
..
Shortly afterwards the mayor of Sharia arrived at the cemetery with some of his relatives.
The man already looked very old, in his mid-sixties I guess.
And his name is Dylan, and his closest friends are Percy and Logan
When he saw me, his eyes widened and he was surprised, but he quickly shook his head believing that I am a descendant very similar to myself.
The man politely greeted Alek and Orsted.
And something that surprised me is that Nanahoshi introduced herself as Nanahoshi Greyrath, Alek was surprised and smiled but Orsted didn't give it any importance,I decided to introduce myself with my real name, the mayor was momentarily surprised but greeted me anyway.
Orsted spoke away from the group with Mayor Dylan, while his conversation with Orsted continued, I could see Dylan looking in my direction and the more Orsted spoke, the more Dylan looked at me Totally surprised
I think I know what they were talking about.
After finishing his talk with Orsted, he gave us access to the exhumation and left with his relatives, so we proceeded to action.
I'm not lying if I say I'm scared right now, I know there's a corpse inside this stone coffin, but I also know that this is the corpse of my future version, I'm terrified to even see it.
-My love, you can do it- Nana told me with a smile
I smiled back and gathered my courage.
I knelt in front of my grave and placed both hands on it.
With magic I simply destabilized the stone that covered the coffin and it fell down like sand, using wind magic I blew away the dust and the coffin was revealed...
It is a slightly damaged brown coffin and on the lid it has the Migurd symbol.
I hesitated for a moment about opening the coffin...
I looked at Orsted and Nana and they both nodded.
-Fuuuu.....- I gathered my courage and took the lid of the coffin and opened it
Immediately the smell of old dust filled my nose.
I closed my eyes instinctively afraid of what I would see.
I heard the amazed murmurs of Nanahoshi and Alek
I opened my eyes and... I saw my corpse...
It was almost a skeleton with some pieces of black flesh, mostly on the face, but it gave it a creepy look.
The corpse was dressed in a grey tunic almost identical to mine but it had several bags in front.
Other than the fact that it was technically my own corpse, there was nothing out of the ordinary.
I could see some curious people watching from a distance as I took out the corpse but I guess when they saw Alek and Orsted they didn't dare to come closer.
..
..
With Alek's help I took out the body and put it on the ground where we separated the bones and put them in an urn.
The robe to my surprise was intact and Orsted suggested I wear it since it was technically mine.
-....I'll think about it- I replied.
We removed the tombstone and I took the photo of it, keeping it in my robe, we threw the tombstone into the hole and closed it.
People are probably confused about this but the mayor of Sharia will be the first to break the news.
..
..
We returned to the office, Alek was carrying the large urn and I was again holding hands with Nananoshi.
Today I had one of the strangest experiences of my entire life...
And this is just the beginning
Orsted told us that tomorrow we would go to Asura to meet with the king to give the news of my resurrection.
I guess now comes the hardest part, huh?
Orsted allowed us to leave and Nanahoshi and I returned home hand in hand.
-My love, how do you feel?- she asked me.
-I honestly don't know what to think, I just saw my own corpse, so I don't know, it's complicated- I answered.
-I see, if you have any problems, we, your wives, are here for you, you know that right? - she told me.
-Of course I know, and that's why I love them- I replied as I leaned in to kiss her.
She kissed me back by hugging me around the neck, we stayed like that for a couple of minutes until she broke away from the kiss.
-Let's go home, I want you to take me all today- she said, completely blushing.
Well...at least I have my girls to give me some comfort....I thought as I quickened my pace towards the house.
