Chapter 345 - An Unexpected Reunion!

When we woke up, we were invited to have breakfast with the Twins, her sister, and the mother of their sister. Usually, the Cilane Kingdom citizens would have meals composed of bread, and strange ice-resistant vegetables alongside some wine and milk produced by themselves…

Yes, in the Kingdom of centaurs, there are groups of females that sell their milk, it is widely accepted as well, so I"m glad my Kingdom is not the only one. I"ve heard that there are groups of other beastfolk than Centaurs, including Minotaur, so female Minotaur sells their milk as well, although it is more expensive.

The Cilane Kingdom castle was enormous, at least as big as my own castle, and its walls were decorated with different gray, blue and white ceramic, doors were big, and chairs were almost non-existent.

Most Centaurs don"t sleep in beds, but the royalty has beds, they are incredibly wide and comfy, that"s why we were able to sleep so easily in one with my wives.

Sofelaia and Sofarpia began to plan the next course of action.

"So, Master, should we do an alliance with your Kingdom?" Asked Sofarpia.

"Indeed, it"s the least we could do, we"ve also thought about slowly converting the Kingdom into your Va.s.sal Nation this way, without making the people worry" Said Sofelaia.

Aegina and her mother only nodded while eating breakfast energetically, they didn"t know good manners and also did not know much about politics, so they left it to the twins.

However, I had different plans.

"No, it would be better to convert Cilane into the Dark Moon Empire directly"

The twins glanced at each other.

"How?" asked the two.

"Well, when Morpheus talked to me, he also allowed me to take you two as my wives, he didn"t seem to mind, he also told me that you loved me already, so I guess it was easy to just say it out"

"Eeep…!"

"Aaah…! H-How could Morpheus-sama…!"

The twins became completely red in embarra.s.sment. They were very cute.

��Uwaah…! B-But Kireina, are you okay with us…?" (Sofarpia)

"A-Are we even worthy? W-We have talked about this, but all of your wives are always such exceptional women, could we even match with them?" (Sofelaia)

My wives began to glance at each other and then laughed.

"Hehe, you don"t have to worry, guu. Masta has a great heart if she had already considered that, its because she already finds you two worthy!" (Rimuru)

"That"s right, join our family! You two are lovely girls after all" (Nixephine)

"You two girls are very talented, you will certainly give birth to strong children, so I don"t have anything to oppose about Big sis"s decision" (Brontes)

"Exactly, you girls are already accustomed to us and the Empire already, right?" (Zehe)

"You"ve already formed bonds with us, you can"t escape Master, fufu~" (Nesiphae)

"Exactly~! The more the merrier as they say" (Alice)

"I"m rather new in here, but I already felt very welcome on Kireina��s family, it changed a lot from the first impression I got… So please, don"t think about it too much" (Nefert.i.ti)

"So? What do you think?" I asked the twins.

The twins looked at each other, they were all fl.u.s.tered and sweated heavily, Aegina and her mother calmed them down.

"Uwawawahhh…"

"T-This is… uuuhh…"

"Big sisters please calm down…"

"It seems that aside from fighting, they are very inexperienced in this field, fufufu"

My wives only chuckled at the twin"s reactions as I sighed.

After some minutes of talking and calming them down, the twins accepted the marriage offer, which had already been done in Aquaria and Athetosea.

The conception of same-s.e.x marriage in the Realm of Vida seems rather accepted, unlike Earth were several countries wouldn"t allow it, perhaps due to the sheer variety of species alongside the dangerousness of the monsters outside had made the people not care about such unnecessary conflicts like someone not liking others of the same s.e.x having a relations.h.i.+p.

In the history of the Kingdoms I"ve visited, Kings and Queens usually have a large Harem of concubines, both male and female, well this does not imply that they are always bis.e.xual, as some only have harems made out of the opposite s.e.x partners, but there have been several cases, various, that would make it seems has something normal and accepted amongst cultures.

Some G.o.ds represent Love and emotions as well, and those who wors.h.i.+p them believe in any type of love, even between the same gender.

However, because the concept of leaving an offspring is rather strong in this world, those who have relations.h.i.+ps with the same s.e.x usually have another opposite-s.e.x partner to leave children. And just like Athetosea and Aquaria, the Cilane Kingdom does not have any issue, and Morpheus, their founder G.o.d didn"t seem to mind either.

And so, the royal marriage was announced, the people seemed happy but hoped for the twins to get some male concubines to leave offspring"s, unaware that I can make them have children, although not now because I"m pregnant and I cannot change gender through my [Male Human Physique] Skill, the system itself does not let me begin with and I"m not stupid to not know why.

Alongside this, and to pump up the morale of her citizens, the twins announced several news for the Kingdom, like the reconstruction of the destroyed buildings, food and water to every citizen daily without any type of payment, free houses, several new trade routes with my Kingdom, alongside technological advancements like magical items and artifacts, and an overall increase in the quality of the lifestyle in Cilane.

When the people heard the reconstruction of the buildings, they were already celebrating in happiness, but when they talked about distributing food, water, and houses for free to everyone, with food and water being given every day for free… they went crazy.

"UUUUOOOHHHHH!!!"

"Is this real life?! Free food, water, and houses?!"

��Have the Princesses gone crazy? How will they be able to maintain such things?!"

"They said that Lady Kireina, the Empress of the Dark Moon Empire is the one who has invented a way to generate infinite food and water!"

"Impossible… but how?!"

"B-But if the princesses said so, it should be true… they are sincerely saying those things!"

"They don"t seem to be joking, and they were never good at joking, to begin with…"

"I-Is there some proof of this? Although I"m glad that such things are happening, I can"t believe it until I see it…"

Hearing the clamor and the questions of the people, I decided to prove to them some of my powers.

I ordered the people to leave some s.p.a.ce for me as I began to summon Familiars and Monsters of all sizes, ordering them to stay still without moving or attacking anyone.

The people saw with interest… until the fifty Familiar was summoned, and they saw how I wasn"t tired at all and I could keep going.

"L-Lady Kireina can summon an unlimited about of Monsters?

"S-She"s a G.o.ddess…"

"The only one who was capable of such feat was Morpheus-sama himself!"

I also summoned plant-type monsters that resembled giant walking tomatoes, cabbages, apple trees, and different species of Walking Mushrooms. Thanks to the Skill [Phyllokinesis] I was able to infuse my Mana into the earth and some seeds and instantly transform such seeds into the monster counterpart of the plants.

"E-Even plants…!"

"So she is even greater than Morpheus-sama himself!!!"

"She is really a G.o.ddess…! A G.o.ddess of Life and Harvest!"

"Kireina-sama! Kireina-sama!"

"Oh, right, water as well"

And then I began to create water with [Water Creation and Manipulation].

Flowing rivers of water appeared out of thin air from my palms, it wasn"t just the snow that melted, it was clear and clean water, without any microbes whatsoever.

The water kept flowing, creating a small river across the streets, the MP consumed was really small, so I could just keep producing endlessly.

Some centaurs immediately began to drink the water and taste the fruits produced by the Plant Monsters.

"This water is so clean and refres.h.i.+ng…!"

"And the tomatoes, so juicy and sweet!"

"The apples, try the apples!"

"T-This is…!"

Centaurs were very emotional; they began to cry like babies out of happiness.

"Prosperity, it is really possible!"

"Thanks, Morpheus-sama, for sending a G.o.ddess to take care of us!"

"We will pray for you, Ova-sama and Kireina-sama every day, before and after every meal!"

The citizens jumped over me, hugging me and thanking me, some kneeled, and began to kiss my feet, while others offered me anything of value that they had.

"There is no need, p-please, relax… and I"m not a G.o.ddess… ah! Please, don"t kiss my feet"

After the showcase of miracles, the people had already changed, they were incredibly content and obedient, celebrating the new royal marriage. I decided to summon around a hundred more Monsters and Familiars and then we called to all the butcherers in the City, they quickly butchered the beasts, cut their meat, and began to cook, every chef suddenly had work now and happily prepared meals for all the people. I also shared Walking Cactus Wine and Beer.

For the rest of the day a grand festival was held where everyone ate to their heart"s content, the population of all three cities was diminished due to the Vampires, but it was still rather large, being of over seventy thousand citizens, rather large for a small demi-human Kingdom that hasn"t received any support from the outside for years.

Talking about other things, my Slime Clones recently informed me about my Dhampirs who had to succeed in rescuing the families of Keenan, Caedmon, Ca.s.sandra, and all of the other Vampires I converted. As I informed this to them, they were also incredibly happy, and Caedmon and Ca.s.sandra tried to kiss my feet more than one time.

The areas where their families where are the outside villages, where anyone can enter, so it was a rather easy task without having to infiltrate through the walls into the inside of the Kingdom.

The people are currently flying through the skies inside a medium-sized floating golem, there hasn"t been anyone tailing them for now. They will be welcomed as citizens in the Dark Moon Empire.

As I was enjoying the feast with my family, the s.p.a.ce surrounding me suddenly distorted.

The people surrounding me alongside my family disappeared from my sight as well.

"What?"

My voice echoed through a strange and empty s.p.a.ce. And as it echoed, another voice talked to me.

"So, how have you been?"

"Eh?"

A humanoid figure seemingly made out of white light without any facial features or any kind of feature at all appeared in front of me.

"Don"t tell me you don"t remember me anymore? It has been a little while, last time you were a b.u.t.terfly I think… common, you know my voice~"

"Gah!��

I couldn"t believe it; I couldn"t believe that I had already forgotten about this guy!

"Mysterious Voice!"

"On my long life, no one has given me such a stupid nickname, that"s why you are quite unique, Kireina"

"Unique? Me?"

"Yeah, your abnormal growth in power, which was with my help, partially, and how fast you gathered a family and even had children already! You take me back every time I check on you, such an abnormal existence! You are really the ideal recipient of my desires"

"Recipient?" I asked.

"Yes, the recipient! To be honest, I did not expect much of you, especially because you were only part of the another fifty or so reincarnated souls… and my hand also slipped because that old man found me out and you ended up reincarnating in a bug… haha"

"You what?!"

"Ahhh… You see… You were destined to reincarnate in an Athetosean Human, a future Champion… But my hand slipped…"

"How could your hand slip off? And who is that old man you"re referring to?"

"Ah, the old man, or the old hag, it doesn"t really have a gender… Some mortals call it the "World"s Will" … It is more or less my progenitor, my ancestor, or my predecessor, it created me from its existence"

"I… Barely understand what you just said"

"That"s enough," said Mysterious Voice, as he rubbed his non-existent chin.

"You"re also known as the System Master, right?" I asked.

"Ah! You"re so quick to connect the dots… but yes, that is me! I"m usually praised as the Deity of the System, although I"m not really a G.o.d, I"m more like… a True Spirit… well, it"s not like its important, just rubbish… Anyways, did you like doing your mission with that little Demi-G.o.d? He"s trying to contact you, but he"s out of Divine Energy Crystals, what a pity"

"D-Divine Energy Crystals…? And you mean Morpheus?"

"Yes, the little centaur… You also messed a lot with that Vampire, Agatheina, she"s now p.i.s.sing herself in her bed! Haha! You"re really amusing, Kireina"

"Agatheina…? How much was she damaged?"

"A lot, well, I never expected you to be able to unlock Divinity Devouring in my whole life, but I shouldn"t put normal standards in you, you always break them into pieces!"

"Okay, okay, I don"t really care about the G.o.ds now, tell me, where are those reincarnated people? Is there someone I know there?"

"Oh, like your father, mother, or your cousins? No, sorry"

"Ah…"

"They grieved a lot your death, but they"re quite fine now"

"You can see them?!"

"I saw them, the s.p.a.ce G.o.d gave me a hand"

"L-Let me talk to them! There are so many things I want to say to them! I want to apologize to them! I want to…!"

"Ah? Sigh… Not now, okay? Maybe later, there are more important things, Kireina"

"But!"

"Calm down, calm down… There will be time for everything! Now, you"re going to help out the other G.o.ds, right?"

"What?!"

"Don"t worry, its nothing hard, you can already damage a G.o.d, I don"t think killing a few mortals and saving a few animals would be hard at all… the important thing will be the bonds you form with them! Kireina, whenever you ascend to G.o.dhood, a lot of G.o.ds will try to kill you!"

"HUH?!"

"That"s why joining or making your own Pantheon will be essential to ensure your safety… And those desperate G.o.ds are perfect, coax them into your side, using their people as biddings, and then slowly form your own group, Agatheina will probably curry favour you now because she is both terrified and enchanted by you. Oh, and the G.o.ds who willingly blessed your people will also support you, but I doubt they will join your Pantheon"

"W-Wait! This is too sudden, too many things to consider…"

"Don"t worry, just keep going as you"ve done since always, and make sure to accept all of their tasks, and coax them to your side! You hear me?"

"Okay but…!"

"Now I gotta go and see what the old man wants now… huh? Why is HE reincarnating people? W-What?! It"s rather angry… Anyways, see ya, Kireina"

"H-HEY! E-Explain some more things to me! You can"t jus-"

"Masta?"

"Ah…!"

And just as he appeared, he disappeared, that b.a.s.t.a.r.d didn"t even explain things properly… But if I will get hunted by G.o.ds whenever I become a G.o.d myself… then I should gather as much support from the other G.o.ds…

"Its nothing, Rimuru… I was… daydreaming"

"Guu… Okay… Why don"t you try this piece of grilled meat, guu?"

As I accepted Rimuru"s fork and ate the juicy meat, I forgot about most of my worries for now and enjoyed the rest of the day with my family.
