Chapter 743 - 744 – Children.
<<Welp…. 1 real life month passed away, meaning 3 in game months has passed.>>
<<So far… Everything was going alright and stuff.>>
<<Truth to be told…. It wasn't really…. A really easy time.>>
<<I mean, pretending to be normal in 1 month in real life and 3 months in game.>>
<<Nobody still knows our secret or anything…. We had been playing "normal"…. Although I say that.>>
<<The atmosphere obviously changed…. We couldn't hide it.>>
<<Some people did noticed us acting bit weird… But we acted it cool somewhat.>>
<<Still, I can't say that I'm not nervous…. As the situation started changing up in the game.>>
<<For example.>>
<<"Benefactor" started acting more and more active.>>
<<His presence started being more noticeable here and there.>>
<<In the continent which we originated from, the Mendula Continent.>>
[Mendula Continent – Originally continent where Purple Hyena was formed.]
[Dulandu Continent – A current continent which was completely taken over by Garog Empire.]
<<Organization known as the "Crown Kings" emerged.>>
<<Their thing is that "we are the rightful rulers" yada, yada, yada…. Simple put, they are overgreedy fools which are nothing more than bandits and terrorist that just want to steal stuff instead of earning it.>>
<<However, the problem is that they are having the backing of that shitty bastard "Benefactor".>>
<<And oh boy, these bastard were REALLY going at it as they caused quiet massive amount of destruction in several kingdoms.>>
<<Obviously this resulted in them being labeled as the terrorist organization.>>
<<But still… The fact that these bastards invested so much into nothing more than greedy terrorist straight up says something…. Are they special?>>
<<Or by any chance the whole "Crown Kings" are fakes? Simple put, they are just "organization" which works for the "benefactor"?>>
<<I wouldn't be surprised.>>
<<…>>
<<Situation is tough there… But even so, we decided to lend a hand by providing some support.>>
<<In exchange, we obtained information from our allies regarding that unknown enemy.>>
<<And what do you know?>>
<<They are hunting for the Forgotten World items.>>
<<We already knew that from the start, thanks to our allies on the Mendula continent, but still… They are still aiming for it?>>
<<According to them, the Crown Kings conducted a massive raid on the castle on the Desert Queen territory… However, what was interesting that this place was in the direct supervision of the brand-new dungeon which appeared recently.>>
<<And guess what sort of dungeon it was?>>
<<Hm?>>
<<The Forgotten Fragment.>>
<<As soon as it appeared, they attacked.>>
<<And…. We kind of have situation at our hands as well…>>
<<Dwarven kingdom territory which we now own.>>
<<A dungeon has been born.>>
<<The Forgotten Fragment.>>
<<…Sloth warnings were correct…. The Forgotten Fragments started appearing and making their presence known.>>
<<Honestly, I want to go there and deal with the dungeon as soon as possible…. But…. Well… I kind of had situation.>>
<<Remember how I said that both my wives were pregnant?>>
<<About that….>>
<<Blueberry already gave birth to my eggs (children) and sometime later, Aworia was now giving birth.>>
<<So yeah…. The dungeon raid needs to wait a bit.>>
[Current location: Bloody Mountains – Karon city – Royal Castle: Hall Of Peace]
"…"
"…"
"So…. Those are my children?" – asked ClownFrog as he stared at the several fresh dragon eggs laying in the middle of the cloth alongside the second eggs which laid on the cloth.
"They are healthy eggs your majesty." – said the human woman with yellow horns and tail.
[Mi'Kanda Korw – Personal Maid Of Aworia Pyrgos Sapienes Phobos]
"…"
"I see… And how are you feeling Aworia?" – asked ClownFrog as he stared at the massive four-winged dragon with red scales and yellow fur, which was also equipped with bend and twisted horns alongside very long and slime snake like tail.
"I'm okay…" – said the beautiful dragon as her bluish eyes made contact with the emperor.
[Aworia Pyrgos Sapienes Phobos – The Second Empress Of The Garog Empire]
"Well… I'm bit just tired… I was kind of expecting the birth process to be somewhat tiring… But it was…. Much worse than I've thought." – said Aworia.
"…Mi'Kanda. Please provide her with some help in order for her to safely recover." – said ClownFrog to the nearby demon maid and the vampire maid.
"As you wish your majesty." – replied two maids as they bowed their heads and walked away alongside Mi'Kanda who led them.
"…"
"…"
(Okay…. I'm now…. An official father…) – thought ClownFrog as he stared at the two sets of eggs.
(Blueberry…. She gave birth to 5 eggs… While Aworia gave birth to whooping 7.)
(I…. Huh…)
(I mean…)
"…"
(I don't know what to say…. I mean it.)
(I wasn't expecting…)
"…"
(Honestly…. I did said I will become the monster…. That I will become one to obtain everything that I want….)
(But now?)
(I'm a father.)
(I….)
"…"
"Your majesty?" – asked Aworia.
"Please…. I told you countless times. Just call my ClownFrog…. Or just Frog." – said ClownFrog as he looked up.
"Heck. Are you still not used to be empress? I mean it was already over half a year since you and I married." – replied ClownFrog.
"…"
"Honestly…. Well, I'm cruel bastard and everything… But I still don't know how to… Well... React?" – said ClownFrog as he squadded in place.
"…Is everything alright?" – asked Aworia.
"…"
"Well… I everything is alright…. It is just…. There is still a lot for me to take in." – said ClownFrog as he stared at the eggs.
"I can't really say that I'm not worried or anything… Heck. I'm father now, so why wouldn't I be scared of something happening to them or you? Or Blueberry?"
"I'm… Just worried about your safety."
"…"
(And honestly speaking, I'm worried about a lot of stuff.) – thought ClownFrog.
(Are these my "real" children?) – thought ClownFrog as he remembered a bloody scene where he stood in the middle of the village, covered in corpse and blood of NPCs he slaughtered… Ranging from elderly to all the way to the children.
"…"
*Sigh*
"I… I will leave you alone." – said ClownFrog.
"I think you need some time to rest up yourself, both mentally and physically."
"Once you regain your spirit, I will come to visit… Okay?" – asked ClownFrog as he stood up, only to then get approached from behind by Blueberry.
"Sup…. I've heard the news." – said Blueberry as she approached Aworia.
"So… How does it feels becoming a mother?"
"Well… I still don't know myself." – replied Aworia.
"Hm… Same… It is still… Quiet weird for me as well." – said Blueberry.
"Anyway, where are you going?" – asked Blueberry as she turned towards ClownFrog.
"Well… I kind of wanted her to get some room…. And I kind of wanted to also get myself a breath or two." – said ClownFrog with somewhat happy… Yet sad look on his face.
"…I see…... Take care." – said Blueberry as she patted ClownFrog on his back, before moments later he left the room.
"…"
*Sigh*
(I've thought I've prepared myself mentally for this…. But I guess I'm still "me"…. Eh?) – thought ClownFrog as he leaned against the wall.
"…"
[Chat]
[You have made video request call to player: GreyHunt.]
[…]
[Call answered.]
["Sup. What is going on mate?"] – asked GreyHunt.
"Hey…. Mate…. You know…."
"…"
"Can you go to the Forgotten Fragment without us this time?" – asked ClownFrog with a tired expression.
"Me… Blueberry… And Aworia…. You know…"
"…"
["Got you mate."] – replied GreyHunt.
"Thanks dude…"
["No problem… I can somewhat understand from your expression that you are somewhat 'suffering' right now… So, I will just keep my mouth shut and do the job."] – said GreyHunt before ending the call.
"…"
"Pfff..."
"Fuck me…" – said ClownFrog.
(And things will only continue to change from now on… And I don't think that will stop anytime soon.) – thought ClownFrog as he cracked a nervous laugh.
"Oh boy…."
[2 days later.]
"So… This is the discovered Forgotten Fragment?" – asked GreyHunt as the group of werewolves were standing guard outside the massive gate.
"Yes, arch duke GreyHunt." – replied the massive werewolf.
"As hunting group was dealing with the feral monsters alongside hired adventurers, we ended up discovering this dungeon."
"The adventurers somewhat didn't listened to us at first and tried going in… But in the next moment, they kind of ran away with their lives as the monsters chased them out."
"Honestly, it was bit annoying that they went in… But again, thanks to them acting reckless, we were able to find out that this place was dungeon, specifically the Forgotten Fragment."
"…"
"Was it here before?" – asked GreyHunt.
"No sir… This place was once a spot for the dwarven miners… However, it was drained over the years before the Mad War happened."
"This place was abandoned, but no dungeon was ever discovered."
(So it really just appeared all on its own.) – thought GreyHunt.
"…"
"We will go in." – said GreyHunt.
"And keep up the protection."
"We recently heard about the situation with 'Benefactor' causing problems."
"His presence wasn't felt here for long time, but there is good chance he may appear here again."
"I understand." – replied the werewolf knight as he alongside other monster soldiers began leaving the underground.
"…"
"So… This time it is only us?" – asked Oron as the party consisted of Oron, Shri, Rampage, GreyHunt, Wretch, Ampi, Swim, Howl and Lil.
"Well, only us can really take part in the quest, since all other bastards are busy with their on jobs." – replied GreyHunt.
(Although I say that… We are still not sure if that thing is still around… It maybe really listening to all of our conversation and what not.) – thought GreyHunt.
(So it is for the best if we try making it as much "controlled" as possible.)
(Still, we do suspect that the Forgotten Fragments do somewhat null that thing ability to hear as Oron mentioned during the meeting.)
(He said that if there was really some sort of reaction, then why there was non when the Forgotten Executioner was talking to us?)
"…"
(We don't have confirmation for any of this…. But it is still better if we play it safe.)
"Anyway, Blueberry and ClownFrog won't be going with us this time, since they are quiet busy because of their position." – said GreyHunt.
"So, this time, we will be doing all the work."
"Meaning, don't you fucking fuck it up."
"Or those bastards will laugh at you."
