Chapter 96: We Are Invincible [1]
The umbrella was about the size of one for two people, and its color matched Iris’s red hair perfectly.
“Hold the baby, Iris.”
Iris reached out her arms toward Illya.
Illya glanced at Naya. This umbrella wasn’t large enough for all three of them to stand under it side by side. Even though she loved being held by her Mama, she knew she was heavier than the umbrella, and she didn’t want to tire her Mama out. In the end, she dove into her Mother’s embrace.
And so, the family of three walked down the street under the red umbrella.
Moreover, with Naya’s magical enhancement, the umbrella’s sun-blocking effect was excellent.
Standing under the umbrella was no different from being indoors.
[Is this how you waste a leyline sacred artifact?]
The system, seeing the Holy Spear it had spent a fortune to repair for Naya being used like this, was instantly angry.
[System, have you ever heard? All war weapons eventually turn towards serving the people.]
[Never heard of it.]
[Think about it. The atomic bombs on Earth, were they ultimately used for war? In the end, weren’t they used to research nuclear energy, solving humanity’s energy needs? These two are essentially the same. If ley line sacred artifacts can’t serve humans, they’re no different from scrap metal.]
[Fine, fine, as long as you’re happy.]
[By the way, System, I remember the original Holy Spear Lancer was from a gift package given to me by the previous system. I didn’t realize it was also a ley line sacred artifact.]
[It is indeed a leyline sacred artifact.]
[I see. Why is that? I thought it was really just from a gift package. So it was actually a gift from the previous system…]
Thinking about it this way, the previous system was a bit romantic.
Giving her the originally intact Holy Spear.
[This was probably the sacred artifact obtained by the previous system and its previous host.]
[Previous host?]
[Maybe not the immediately previous host, perhaps the one before that. After a host dies in battle, the ley line sacred artifacts bound to their soul usually get damaged, but they can be stored as spear embryos in the system’s interdimensional backpack.]
[I see… So if I die, could you also take this spear’s embryo and give it to the next host?]
[Yes. But usually, systems convert the spear embryos into energy for themselves. After all, we systems are also working for a living. We’ve already lost time when a mission fails, if we don’t take a little for ourselves, we’d be working for nothing. Plus, repairing sacred spears costs energy too. Systems that take sacred artifact embryos to give to the next host are too kind-hearted, they’re not fit to be systems anymore.]
[……]
[So, the previous host of the previous system was very likely killed by Iris, you know.]
[You’re starting again, aren’t you?]
[I’m just making a random guess.]
[Hmph… The previous system, what exactly did it go through with its previous host?]
Naya looked up at this umbrella.
Everything was unknown, but at least, the previous system wanted her to live on well.
She couldn’t let down the previous system’s sacrifice.
As Naya and Iris were walking around, they found a shop called “Magic Shaved Ice”, with a sign depicting something like popsicles from Earth.
“Iris, want to take a look?”
“Sure, we came out to play anyway. We can buy toys after we’ve played enough.”
“I want to eat, Mommy.”
“Alright, let’s go in then.”
They walked through the door, closing the umbrella.
The shop was quite crowded.
At the counter inside was a blue-haired young man passionately making ice, with colorful magic arrays emerging from beneath his hands. He was clearly a high-level magician. What a waste of magical talent to open an ice cream shop instead of fighting monsters.
Around the young man was a circle of proper freezers, storing many cold drinks and desserts. Besides popsicles, there were other things like “Beat Up the Scumbag Lemon” and fruit slushies.
“Welcome, welcome, customers. What would you like?”
“Give us three ☆ice creams.”
“Coming right up!”
The ice cream was already pre-frozen.
The shop owner could directly take the ice cream from the freezer and give it to Naya. Just after paying, Naya heard a familiar voice.
“Mother, I’m dying of heat! I want to eat this!”
“Semira, heat resistance training is also part of a knight’s training. If you find this weather hot, you’ll truly feel what it means to be in a sea of fire when you’re wearing full armor in the future. But all of this is necessary for you to become a knight.”
With the sound of footsteps approaching.
Naya turned her head to look, and sure enough, it was the familiar blonde knight mother and daughter pair.
She smiled politely at them and then made way for them to order.
“Holy Knight, we meet again.”
The blonde knight also smiled slightly.
“It’s you all, what a coincidence. You’re not going to eat a 79 gold coin popsicle this time, are you?”
“No, the owner here is very reasonable.”
Three ice creams were just thirty silver coins.
“Hello, Illya, we meet again.”
On the other side, the blonde little girl also greeted Illya.
Because of Illya’s natural beauty, Semira had always been fond of that pink-haired little Loli.
Illya was the most beautiful girl Semira had seen since coming to Rex City.
“Hello.”
Unfortunately.
Illya didn’t seem to care much about her, just nodding slightly with a very calm expression.
This made Semira feel a deep sense of frustration again.
In the Goss Empire, which child didn’t fawn over her and try to curry favor? Even in the Kingdom of Dia, seeing the eagle emblem on her shoulder, people would look at her with respect.
In fact, even if they weren’t members of the Casimir family, citizens of the Kingdom of Dia would feel genuine awe and envy when seeing citizens of the Goss Empire.
After all, the Goss Empire was similar to the United States in Earth terms. How could other small countries not yearn for it?
Watching Illya and her two mothers holding ice creams and sitting down at a table inside the shop.
Semira thought to herself: Hmph, interesting girl, you’ve successfully attracted my attention.
After her mother also ordered two ice creams, Semira pulled Semiya’s hand and sat down at a table near Illya and her family.
Observing every move of the table opposite.
“Eat yours, Naya.”
“Aren’t they all the same?”
“They’re not the same.”
“Fine.”
Seeing Iris’s eyes full of desire, Naya scooped some from her own cup and brought it to Iris’s mouth.
Iris opened her mouth.
“Ahhm…”
She swallowed it in one go.
Illya was sitting between Iris and Naya, watching Naya’s hand pass in front of her line of sight to feed the ice cream into her mother’s mouth, she couldn’t help but laugh.
Iris just smiled mischievously.
“Don’t worry, trust your old husband. Like an old dragon, I won’t flip over.”
“Mother is also a mama’s girl, so big and still needs mommy to feed her. You still have the nerve to criticize me.”
Seeing Iris being so improper again, Naya’s pretty face turned red, and she nudged Iris’s arm with her elbow.
“What? You’re not convinced?”
“What… What old husband… The child is still here! You really have no shame.”
Having missed the chance to be fed by Naya last time in the castle due to holding back, Iris discovered a problem: having a thick skin was completely useless.
“What’s wrong with the child being here? Illya can’t remain a child forever, right?”
“Alright, alright, you two mother and daughter, what are you arguing about?”
Illya listened to the conversation between her two mothers, nodding in confusion.
Naya found that this big one and small one had started staring at each other, not at all like mother and daughter, but more like rivals in love who were extremely jealous of each other.
She knew what her wife meant.
Naya scooped another spoonful and stuffed it into Illya’s mouth.
In the composition of a normal family, the stronger one in the house is usually the husband, and the weaker one is the wife.
“Both of you, be quiet and eat.”
But, it seemed to be a bit subtle when applied to her family.
Semira watched the interaction of that family of three in a daze, the ice cream scoop she had taken stopped in mid-air, her eyeballs not moving.
Sometimes Mama was more dominant than Mother, whatever Mama told Mother to do, Mother had to obediently listen.
She carefully observed the characteristics of those three people.
But overall, Mother was still dominant more often, after all, Mother was the Dragon King.
The red-haired one seemed to be called Mother by Illya, and the silver-haired one was called Mama, which meant that Illya had two mothers?
“It’s good I didn’t let you take care of Illya, otherwise who knows how she would have turned out by now. Also, how do you know the Holy Knight doesn’t have that? Isn’t it said that you need intimate physical contact to sense the existence of that?”
It’s not that it’s not possible, two women can be in love, and children can be adopted.
“Yes, so I used that.”
But, judging from Illya’s pink hair color and the few streaks of white at her forehead, Illya seemed to combine the characteristics of those two women. Illya seemed to be the biological daughter of those two women.
“Which one?”
“Semira, mind your manners.”
“「 The World 」”
“Yes! Mother!”
Time stops.
The world stopped moving.
Staring at others for a long time is impolite. Semira realized she had been doing this unconsciously and quickly lowered her head to eat her ice cream.
“Madam… Secretly having intimate contact in front of Madam’s child, checking whether the system is developing normally…”
Semiya thought Semira was admiring the warmth of that family of three.
The wizard Of SILVER
… What is this? I don’t understand…
