Chapter 25

I woke up as usual and did my morning routine, as no one in the house had woken up I went into Martha kitchen and began to prepare breakfast for the six of us, for a little sad reasons Martha was a widow, when I asked her she said that her husband died when several bandits attacked the town, Martha husband fought against the bandits as well as several people from the town, luckily for the townspeople a merchant who had a lot of influence was staying in the town and said merchant had several guards experienced, they managed to hold back the attack but had many casualties, while the attack occurred, some women and children that the bandits had kidnapped in carts could also be rescued, among the children were Yui and Shiro who, being semi-human, no one wanted to take them in, Martha was the only one who wanted to take care of them, according to her details that had happened five years ago since little Mily was just going to meet one year old.

Without the man of the house Martha had to work hard to take care of the four girls and due to overwork her body took its toll with fatal diseases, I stopped thinking about what Martha had told me and continued cooking.

And you can cook too, what can't you do? -Martha.

I've just prepared a lot for different scenarios, it's not like I can do everything-Kasumi.

Even if you say that, even girls can't cook the way you can-Martha.

I served food to Martha and also to the girls who arrived after a few minutes, after everyone finished eating the girls were in charge of lifting everything and also starting to clean the house, I only stayed with Martha who was finishing drink some tea.

If it is not a nuisance, I would like you to lend me to the girls for a few days, I want to teach them self-defense so that what happened is not repeated-Kasumi.

Honestly, I would very much like you to teach them, but right now they will be very busy, we have some fields that require a lot of attention at this time and they are the ones who take care of them-Martha.

Can you hire people in your place? -Kasumi.

Yes I can, but it's one more waste of money-Martha.

No problem, I can cover the expenses, how much do you need? -Kasumi.

Hmm, let's see, about twenty silver pieces would be enough-Martha.

Martha answered me with a smile.

So be it-Kasumi.

From the Inventory I took out a bag in which there were forty silver and ten gold coins, I put the bag on the table and handed it to Martha, when she opened the bag, her smile quickly changed.

S- she was just playing, you don't need so much money-Martha.

It doesn't matter, after all it would be like payment to stay at the house-Kasumi.

After the girls finished doing housework, Martha called everyone to sit with us.

Is something wrong mother? -Arisa.

Kasumi has something to say to the three-Martha.

The three girls were a bit surprised and fell silent.

That's right, I'm going to train the three of you for seven days so that you can defend yourself, even if seven days sounds little with my teaching you can raise your power to a decent level, after that you can continue training by yourselves, they say Do you agree? -Kasumi.

The three looked at each other and also looked at Martha who made a gesture that clearly said "don't ask me anything", the three of them thought for a few seconds until Shiro stood up.

I will, I don't want to be weak, I want to be strong-Shiro.

Followed by Shiro Yui stood up.

Me too, I don't want to live in fear all my life-Yui.

To finish Arisa stood up.

I want to be able to protect my sisters and mother, I will, I will burn strong at all costs-Arisa.

Good answers, we will start right now, stop doing everything and focus only on your training during these seven days-Kasumi.

With things already decided, I took the girls out of the city, we walked until we reached the forest, I removed several trees in the area and left a large paired area, I put the room on one side of the field since we were going to sleep there.

This will be our training ground, first we will improve his stamina a little, to run now-Kasumi.

Without resisting the girls began to run around the entire field, I was planning a training routine for the three that consisted only of simple exercises, although normal exercise did not do much to increase their statistics if it was going to help them to endure more. at the time of starting to level as that is the fastest way to increase strength in this world.

When I finished making all the plans, I accompanied the girls to run, a little training would not hurt me.

....................

The first three days we only did normal exercises and although many times the girls fell dejected they only rested for a moment and then continued, I was honestly impressed by their willpower, to my surprise the people of this world are much stronger and more adaptable since the girls They did not present muscular problems even following a very demanding training routine.

On the morning of the fourth day we did a few morning stretches and while the girls continued doing their exercises I decided that it was time to find out which weapon best suited their fighting style, I called the girls, put a table in front of them and put different types of weapons copied from different stores.

Try each one of them to find out which one suits you best, take your time-Kasumi.

The girls began to use each of the weapons, the first to be discarded were the bastard sword, ax, bow, hammer and many more, after trying several weapons the girls already had the ones that would best suit them, Arisa decided to use a normal sword, Yui decided to use two twin swords and Shiro chose a pair of daggers.

For now I will teach you how to use your weapons, how you will attack the enemies will be decided by you-Kasumi.

I taught each one how to use their weapon and how to get the most out of it, although I only taught them the basics, I created wooden mannequins armed with wooden weapons, I managed the dolls using Telekinesis to simulate combats, the first combats were a defeat Total for the girls, but as time went by they adapted as they adapted, the difficulty increased slightly, by the fifth day the girls already had a good handle on their weapons, they were not experts but they already knew how to use them.

After having lunch at the training ground I decided that it was time to start leveling up, I took the girls further into the forest where we began to find horned rabbits, giant toads, wolves, lizards and some animals similar to Velociraptors, each I stopped one of the monsters that I found with Telekinesis and let the girls kill them, at first they seemed to doubt but after killing about fifteen monsters they stopped doubting and killed them without blinking, it was practically a way to level up by cheating.

After marrying many monsters in the forest, the girls were able to go up to level six, it was not much, but to be able to climb that would normally take a long time, with my method it only took us a day, but it was still very slow and therefore I decided to increase the difficulty a bit.

While the girls were having breakfast I told them that I would go to look for a better prey in the forest, before leaving them I raised a Barrier around the entire training field, I searched with the Map for kilometers around for something stronger and after flying for several kilometers I was able to find a goblin lair that had one hundred and thirty goblins, twenty hobgoblins, a king and a goblin queen.

This will do-Kasumi.

I teleported over the roof of the house and entered the house where the girls were getting ready to start their training.

Today we will go to a different place, give me your hand and do not let go-Kasumi.

Without hesitation the girls put their hand on mine, with the girls having contact I teleported us out of the goblin shelter, because it was the first time that the girls teleported they got a bit dizzy and we had to wait for the dizziness.

In that cave there are many goblins, I will take three of them for you to fight without my help, with their current level I doubt that they are any threat, but still do not trust them, no matter how weak your enemy is, never trust yourself-Kasumi.

The girls got serious and drew their weapons, I entered the goblin cave which stunk horrible, after walking only for a minute I found several goblins that wandered around the place, the little ones blindly launched themselves to try to attack me, the I stopped with Telekinesis and I took three of them and closed the cave so that the rest would not escape, I left the three goblins in front of the girls who were a little separated, the little ones when looking at the girls the saliva of the mouth and without thinking twice they ran towards the girls.

Arisa was the first who had contact with the goblin, when the little one was already within reach without blinking she threw a cut that cleanly split the goblin in half, Shiro when he was close to his target he launched himself against it and stuck both daggers in The skull of the little monster, by Yui's side she waited patiently for the goblin who only approached and was split vertically in an instant.

(I think they had something against goblins).

As you could tell, those dwarves are very weak apart, in a pack they are more annoying, this time I will bring you six, fight as a team to defeat them-Kasumi.

The girls affirmed and prepared for the next group, as I had already done, I entered the cave of the goblins, I brought six of them and closed the entrance, following my recommendation the girls attacked the six goblins as a team, which only four of them had. weapons made of wood, but even with weapons the six goblins had no chance against the girls in a matter of just a minute the six goblins were history.

Now there will be twelve, it will not be as easy as the previous ones-Kasumi.

I doubled the number of goblins and this time if the difficulty was noticed, although the girls were not injured if it took longer to finish them all, I brought the next horde of twenty-five goblins and thus I increased the number until all the goblins were eliminated, without the goblins, only the twenty hobgoblins and the two kings remained.

I took out the twenty hobgoblins so that the girls will take care of them first, this time if they had a difficult time and it was difficult for them to fight all of them, it took several minutes of constant fighting and although they were stronger they were already tired from the previous combats, after about fifteen minutes of fighting the girls managed to defeat all the hobgoblins but when they finished they dropped their weapons and lay down on the ground.

That was difficult-Shiro.

Not to mention it-Arisa.

My arms hurt, let's take a break-Yui.

Yes, rest, the next fight will be very difficult, only the King and Queen-Kasumi.

I created some benches for the girls to sit on and I also served them drinks to cool down a bit, I let the girls rest for a long time and until they said they could continue I took out the two Kings, unlike all the other goblins The Kings did not attack the instant they looked at the girls, the two Kings stared at the girls for a minute and when the two seemed to have decided they started.

The King had as a weapon a giant greatsword which looked pretty good, on the other hand the Queen had no weapon but she didn't need it as she was a magician, the King without losing any more time launched himself at the girls, Yui launched herself against him. King and with both swords she received the blow, to her bad luck the King had a little more strength than her and his weapon was bigger as a result, managing to push Yui a few meters away, after Yui stopped the attack King Shiro and Arisa threw themselves at him.

Arisa charged head-on against the King while Shiro slipped behind the King's back, but unfortunately for the girls the King was not alone, when Shiro was going to attack the King several fireballs began to approach her, Shiro doing Using her agility, she dodged all the fireballs, staying away from the King again.

Obviously the Queen was not going to let anyone get close to her King, Arisa seeing that Shiro couldn't get close also decided to back off; Yui continued giving some exchanges with the King, but when noticing Shiro and Arisa she also imitated them, the three girls were shoulder to shoulder in front of both Kings who did not take their eyes off them for an instant.

After only breathing for a few seconds, the three girls looked at each other for an instant and affirmed in unison, since they had started training the three of them acquired a fairly high level of communication and understood each other with just one look, at that moment the three girls ran towards three different directions, Yui being the strongest charged forward, Arisa went to the right and Shiro to the left.

The King and Queen also looked at each other and shouted some words that I couldn't understand at all, the King easily stopped Yui frontal attack, while Yui exchanged blows with King Arisa ran towards the King from the right, in a matter of a few seconds Arisa reached Yui and between the two of them they began to attack the King who was slowly losing ground.

The Queen when looking at her King in trouble began to channel her mana, after only seconds around the Queen several fireballs began to appear which were getting bigger over time, when the Queen was about to cast the spell Shiro, who had not yet entered the scene, crept up to the queen's back and without wasting a second she stabbed both daggers into the queen's neck.

The King upon hearing the scream of his Queen and looking at her corpse was distracted enough for both Yui and Arias to stab him in the chest, with the three serious wounds the King fell to his knees, the girls withdrew their weapons and were about to hit him. the coup de grace when out of nowhere the King began to surround a dark mist, the girls looking at the mist quickly retreated and regrouped, after only a few seconds the mist dissolved and the King stood up but with a difference, he now had an activated ability, Berserck.

With the ability activated the King launched himself against the girls much faster than before Arisa and Shiro barely dodged jumping sideways, Yui on the other hand with both weapons in front prepared to stop the blow, but to her bad luck the Berserck ability multiplied the King's statistics up to four times, upon receiving the blow of the great sword from the front Yui was thrown into the air while her two swords were completely destroyed.

Arisa and Shiro when looking at Yui quickly ran towards her, while both girls ran towards Yui the King ran after them with his weapon raised, before the girls reached Yui the King reached them and gave a diagonal cut to the back of the two, both used their weapons, they tried to stop the blow but they ended up being thrown into the air and falling where Yui, the three girls had already lost their weapons and were at a great disadvantage with the King, that they lost the fight was very predictable.

(They did better than I thought, these girls are undoubtedly very good at combat, I feel sorry for the boys who are their partners, if they get angry they will have a very bad time).

The three girls, quite injured, watched as the King approached them while dragging his greatsword leaving a mark, when the King was already in front of them and with his greatsword raised I decided to put an end to everything, just when the greatsword was half full. On the way I moved quickly and stopped the advance of the weapon with my left hand.

You did well girls, without a doubt, but this boy is too much for you-Kasumi.

With a jerk I snatched the sword from the King and turned it throwing it in the air, easily grabbed the sword and split the King vertically, I healed the wounds of the girls and kept the corpses of both Kings.

The girls a little down began to look for something around the place, as they did not tell me anything, I just waited for them to return, after a few seconds the girls met again with what was left of their weapons in their hands.

Sorry, we destroyed the weapons you gave us-Yui.

You do not have to worry about that, those weapons were of poor quality and were only for their training, during these days I created new weapons for each one-Kasumi.

I saved the pieces of the weapons and took out a new set of completely new weapons, their forms did not change much, but they did have various enchantments to improve their edge, weight, resistance and durability.

These are your new weapons, take it as a gift for passing my training, although they do not look like very strong weapons are made of black gold and have various Kasumi-enchantments.

I gave each of them their weapons and after a couple of tests that the girls did, cutting trees easily, we returned to the training ground, I saved the house that was there and we returned to Martha house.

........................

It was already approximately 11 PM, I was in the living room of the small house having some tea with Martha.

Tomorrow they will leave, right? -Martha.

Yes, I spoke to a merchant today and he offered to take us as guards to Shoe City, it will only take a few days-Kasumi.

We both fell silent while we drank our tea, from the expression that Martha had on her face I knew that she wanted to say something to me, but she didn't have the courage or she didn't want to say it, although I was curious I didn't want to ask and I just finished my tea.

I'll go to sleep, good night-Kasumi.

When he was about to leave the room, Martha finally spoke.

Hey tell me if ...- Martha.

Yes? -Kasumi.

Are you planning to keep one of them? -Martha.

Excuse me? -Kasumi.

I mean, could you welcome those girls as your concubines?-Martha.

Are you giving me her three daughters? Does she even want them? -Kasumi.

Yes I love them, but I also know that they will not always be by my side, the three of them told me a lot about you, and in the way they told me I knew that they have fallen in love, you can say whatever you want, but I know my girls and my mother instinct tells me that those girls are in love with you, although I was always against polygamy if it's you I think there will be no problem-Martha.

You cannot say that if you have not even talked to them about the issue, that is their decision and they also do not know anything about me, you know, I have a fiancée who is waiting for my return in my hometown, even knowing that would I give her daughters to a committed man? -Kasumi.

I have no other choice, in this town those girls lead a pretty miserable life, I was always afraid that something will happen to them when I am gone, that is why instead of keeping them in danger I prefer them to be in your hands-Martha.

Even if you say that they are the ones who have to decide, I cannot deny that those girls have great charm, but I will not force them to stay by my side, that will be their decision-Kasumi.

If you give them the opportunity they will stay by your side for sure, knowing for all that they have happened by your side I do not think they want to abandon you-Martha.

We will see that, if they do not decide to stay by my side I will bring them personally after I remove their slavery, if they stay by my side I will come to leave some things-Kasumi.

Without more to speak I retired to the room where the girls were sleeping soundly, I lay down on my bed and kept thinking about Martha's words.

(I can't deny that I like these girls, but I already have an engagement with Dina and there is also Liz that if she stole a kiss from me I suppose she liked it too, although she said it was a parting gift and maybe I'm misinterpreting things, I have to talk to her about this).

With a lot of questions on my mind I stayed up very late at night.
