Alsar Chapter 45

Chapter 45 : Goodbye, Sorrel Waterfall

A/N: Thank you your constant support! (*^^*)

————————————–

"We can go to the royal capital after we got married. There, we can meet with the royal family and the orphanage's director. He's a pretty cool old man, I'm sure you will love him, Ren."

"Okay, I will be looking for it."

At first I thought Sig-san must've been living in loneliness in the orphanage but seemed like it was not the case.

Sig-san looked very bright as he told us the story about the orphanage's director.

Well since Sig-san was in their care from 9 years old to 16 years old, they were practically family now.

Even without any blood relations between them, the bond between them must be as strong as real family.

"Then it's decided!~ After we got married the first place we visit will be the royal capital!~ We do our greetings together there~"

"Greetings… So they can't do anything much but to accept it huh.."

I was still feeling anxious about it.

Was it alright for them to marry an otherworlder?

Would their relatives or neighbours talked behind their back because they got married to an otherworlder?

I didn't know if there were any prejudice in marrying an otherworlder..

Maybe I should ask Evsan when I get to Pedrell.

"Before we do our greetings in the royal capital, we need to greet Malik-san first. Ah, I'm a little afraid to face him.. I went on a subjugation quest for a moment and came back with three fiancee in tow. I'm a little scared to imagine what kind of expression he would had when he saw me.."

Ahh, I wonder what Malik-san would think?

In just half a month I've come back with not only one but three! Three fiancee back with me!

"Ah, me too. I already told him that I wanted to pursue you but I also promised him that I won't lay my hands on you~"

Hmm..

Since we didn't go all the way yet, it didn't count, right?

Ahhh I got embarra.s.sed just by thinking about it…

"Malik-san's intuition is a top notch so I think he already knew about us. Though, since we're a decent person all in all, there shouldn't be any complaint from Malik-san." Fer-san a.s.sured.

"Intuition..?"

Malik-san's intuition..?

"Yes, when Malik-san was an active adventurer, he was famous for his sharp intuition. Somehow his intuition is always correct no matter what. His intuition had saved lots of lives back then."

"Wow.. Malik-san's intuition is that amazing..?" I inclined my head to side in wonder.

How did Malik-san become famous by using his intuition..?

"Yes, for example there was time when Malik-san saved a whole village because his intuition was telling him that they needed to evacuate the village and went to high ground soon. There wasn't any rain but suddenly the river overflowed and drowned the whole village. It was a very close call so I've heard but thanks to Malik-san's intuition, there was no single casualties. Also when Malik-san was on a mission, his intuition could tell him the general direction of the monster even without using detection skill. "

Whoa, so Malik-san's intuition could saved people from dangerous situation like that..

But you know, Malik-san was also incredible.

Because he trusted his intuition, he could convinced the villagers to evacuate.

If he had even the slightest of doubt, the villagers would've drowned.

"I didn't know that Malik-san is that incredible.. Amazing.."

"That's right!~ That's why Ren-chan is really lucky to be able to be found by Malik-san!~ Malik-san is definitely the best person out there in Pedrell! You really hit the jackpot, Ren-chan!~"

Of course.

I know I am lucky.

Malik-san was the tutor for the royal family, a former S-ranked and also a guild master.

He was an incredible person!

"Fufu, you're making me wanting to meet Malik-san sooner! I want to tell him a lot of things and- Oh! I want to introduce William and the others to him, also about my first subjugation quest! And of course, about you guys as well!"

There was a lot of things I want to tell Malik-san!

I wanted to tell Malik-san about my fiance properly too so Malik-san would gave us his blessing as well!

"Ren you really like Malik-san huh? I'm a little jealous here."

"Well of course! He's my father after all! I've told you before, right? Growing up, I didn't have a father figure in my life, my mother was not really affectionate as well but ever since I arrived in Alsar, Malik-san was very doting and protective of me. Even though it was only for a month, every day was very refres.h.i.+ng and exciting, I really enjoyed myself!"

"I see, because it's Ren-kun's first time to have a father figure, right? Then when we have children together, we need to be affectionate and loving too so our children can feel the same happiness as Ren-kun does." Fer-san smiled tenderly at me, making my heart clenched looking at how happy he was.

Wait..

Our children..?

Children?!

I completely forgot that it was possible for men in Alsar to have children together !

Ah.. So that means I had to get pregnant? And gave birth?!

"Isn't too fast to be talking about pups? Ren is still 21, I think we should enjoy our married life without thinking about children for a while."

"That's right~ Ren-chan is still new to this world as well, so let's wait until Ren-chan can get used to this world and his occupation as adventurer~"

Yes, yes please. Let's do that, yes.

I couldn't made up my mind to have children this fast!

I need more time!

And also..

Let alone children, we also haven't gone all the way yet.

Thinking about the prospect of having children was still impossible for me.

"I see.. I was thinking about how our children would resemble Ren-kun, like mini Ren-kun running around the house and such.. They must be very cute." Fer-san replied dejectedly.

Fer-san must really likes children, huh?

He was smiling so fondly just before but now there was a dark cloud over his head.

"Umm, I also think that if our children were to resemble the three of you, they must be very handsome and cool! If they were women, they would be so beautiful, like girl-crush type kind of girl!" I added my opinion to them.

The three of them came from different background and had different physique but they were all very handsome and cool.

Their body shape was not overly bulky or too thin, they were just perfect!

If I were to have children together with them, our children would definitely grow to become beautiful and cool like them.

I truly hope our children wouldn't resemble me in height factor because I was too short for Alsar's standard.

The standard height for men in Alsar was 185cm, my height was below the average hence why I often got mistaken as a kid here.

They didn't need to grow absurdly tall, but I hope at least our children would grow into the average height according to Alsar's standard.

"I also want to have a daughter that resemble Ren.. Ah, a son just like Ren is cute too. Any gender is fine as long they look like Ren."

"Me too~ If our children have the characteristic of wolf beastman like Sig combined with Ren-chan's cute face, ahhh they would surely become very adorable!~"

A child with my face, combined with Sig-san's ear and tail!

That was basically just me cosplaying, right??

But now that I think about it, seemed like all of us wanted to have a children that resemble our partner respectively.

I wanted to have children that resemble Fer-san, Sig-san and Chris-san and vice versa.

Ah,right.

Since we were in polyamorous relations.h.i.+p, how would we manage?

Can we live harmoniously?

What about Malik-san's inheritance?

Though, Fer-san seemed to have good relations.h.i.+p with Mrs. Esther so everything should've worked out in the end eventually?

"Let's stop our imagination from running off the track. Ren-kun, how many children do you want?"

I knew it, Fer-san was really fond of children.

"Hmm.. Since I'm still 21, I never thought about it before.. Before I met you guys I thought that I would live all by myself until.. I'm 30 or something. So let alone children, even I was surprised I would get married so soon like this. But…This is just me hypothetically speaking, okay? Since I'm an only child, I always wanted to have a sibling, you know? So.. Maybe 2?"

Back in j.a.pan, I was busy juggling between college and part-time work.

I didn't have time to think about having a girlfriend or getting married.

But hypothetically speaking, I guess having more than one children would be nice.

I truly liked the three of them and the s.e.x was nice too but I was still a man and back in earth, it was not possible for men to get pregnant.

Back in earth I knew that men can have s.e.x together but male pregnancy was simply unheard of.

So I still have hard time putting my head around it.

I mean, I've been having culture shock after culture shock while I was here in Alsar but it was still hard to bent the sense of values that had been cultivating inside of me for 21 years.

"Well~ How about if we talk about that more when the time comes? For now, let's enjoy our engagement period and our soon to be newlywed life together~"

Chris-san seemed to sense my discomfort and immediately cut the conversation right there to ease myself.

"Yes. First thing first, we need to reach Pedrell safely."

Thank you Chris-san for being so understanding.

"That's right, shall we cross the river soon?"

"We've talked for quite a while, huh? Are we going to take a nap now and continue travelling when the sun set like usual?" I asked.

Without me realizing, it was already 02:00 PM.

Yesterday we had a nap around this time as well.

"No, let's take a nap after we get out of the forest instead. After we crossed the river, we only need around 1 hour to reach the forest's outskirt. The weather around here is pretty cool too so it should be alright if we continue travelling now." Fer-san replied.

That was true, while we were having our lunch out in the open like this, the breeze kept on flowing through.

It was nice and cool here.

William and the others also seemed to enjoy drinking the river's cool water.

Since we didn't need to avoid the sun rays anymore, it should be alright.

The four of us then began to prepare ourselves.

I put the tent and cutlery into my magic bag while they were tending to their magical horses.

—————————————————-

"Okay then, it's Oscar's turn, right? Come into my arms, Ren!"

"Well.. I certainly 'come into your arms' and all but.."

I needed their help to get on the horses so they needed to lift me but… the way Sig-san phrase it..

I'm already an adult, being carried in one's arm like this was a bit painful for my pride..

Ah, I wanted to be able to get on the horses by myself one day..

"Oscar, I will be in your care."

Sig-san got on behind me and I caressed Oscar's mane gently.

Oscar nodded his head excitedly  as if saying "Leave it to me!" in return.

They could understand our speech like this, magical horses are really smart!

"Hmm~ Let's go then~" Chris-san called to us as he started to cross the river.

I crossed the river while riding Oscar, because he was so tall I didn't get splashed by the water at all.

Behind me, Sig-san was wearing a mantle so his rear side was safe from the splash.

The river was not that deep too and the water was pretty calm as well so we managed to cross the river while keeping our clothes dry.

—————————————————-

"Well then, in an hour we will reach the road. Last time I heard, the road was still on maintenance so keep your eyes open, Sig."

"I know! If I were alone I would be careless but I have Ren on my side so I will definitely pay extra attention now. I will protect Ren without fail!"

I felt my cheeks flushed red as I heard Sig-san said such affectionate words so nonchalantly like that.

Being raised as a j.a.panese person, I was not used to say my thoughts out loud like them.

So having them acted so loving and affectionate in public like that was bad for my fragile heart.

Ah, my heart won't stop pounding!

"Next year, when we take Calhea request, let's go visit Sorrel Waterfall again!~" Chris-san said.

"Yeah."

Fer-san and the others were looking at the flowing waterfall reluctantly.

The four of us had a really good time here, we talked a lot, ate a lot and I felt like we had grown even closer now.

And then, they finally ushered their horses forward.

In one hour, we will finally reached the roadside.
