Chp 6 : Filthy Rich They Were Not

[Tex : While you are still going to have to help the Hero kill the Demon Lord, you will also be given new side quests throughout you're time here. These side quests will help make the Hero's life a better experience filled with joy and happiness. Failure to do one of the side tasks will give you 1 strike. Once you have received 10 strikes well... I'm sure you know where you will be sent for eternity]

[Siun : Ahhhh! I can't with you systems! If I do something wrong its always jail this and eternity that! Just slap my wrists or something! Jail isn't always the answer!]

It has been a month since then, for Elena and Silas it was the most magic filled month of their lives. During this month Siun has learned how to move his arms!

Very impressive

Usually when a baby is 6 months old they will start to make sounds to communicate with their parents or guardians. They would say words like : "mama" "dada" and "ah"

very cute dont you think?

Since Siun was 6 months old now, Elena and Silas were so excited about Siun possibly speaking soon. They were so enthusiastic about this... maybe a bit too enthusiastic.

"Heeey my little Siun~ Say mama~ hehehe"

"No Siun ~ Say papa! Say papa!"

The pair of husband and wife truly loved their child, Siun was irreplicable to them. They wouldn't trade him for the world!

[Tex : What a foolish couple, they are swooning over my lazy host!]

[Siun : Huhuhu! Who can blame them! How can they not pamper me when I look so cute~]

As Siun and Tex were bantering in their minds, Elena and Silas were starting to get a little competitive over their little Siun's attention.

"SIUN LOVES ME MORE, HE HAS BEEN IN MY WOMB FOR 9 MONTHS! OFCOURSE HE IS GOING TO SAY MAMA FIRST!"

"OH YEAH? WELL... I NAMED HIM! HES GONNA LIKE ME MORE!"

Isn't this situation very amusing? A pair of husband and wife fighting over the attention of a 20 year old!

"I BET 15 COINS THAT HE IS GOING TO SAY PAPA FIRST!"

Silas yelled, it seems that he forgot that they were dirt poor. And 15 coins, even though 15 coins isn't a massive amount it was quite a huge sum taking up about 3/4 of the husband's salary!

"ARE YOU CRAZY?! IS GAMBLING A HABBIT OF YOUR'S NOW? DO YOU NOT REMEMBER WE ARE POOR? AND EVEN IF WE DID BET, WE ARE PARTNERS! WE ARE SUPPOSED TO SHARE OUR MONEY TO TAKE CARE OF OUR BABY!"

Elena had a good point. Gambling was not a good habit to pick up unless you were filthy rich... and sadly for Siun, filthy rich the pair were not.

After Elena's scolding, they decided that they didn't care what Siun's first words are anymore. And Silas has swore to never throw money around like that ever again. Silas was a henpecked husband indeed.

[Siun : Aishh this pair seems to never stop talking... don't their mouths get tired?]

[Tex : You are an unfilial child...]

This is how the most of Siun's day went. In the morning Siun would wake up with a splitting headache as usual, it seems that Tex's advice of getting used to it was not the best idea, as one time the headache was so bad that it caused Siun to vomit. Elena and Silas were very alarmed and wanted to take Siun to the church to get help, but they didn't have the money to do so.

In this fantasy world there are churches that are scattered throughout the towns. They act like a "hospital" but instead of treating you with medicine and high tech equipment, the churches use a thing called "Moon Magic" where they harvest the moon light at night time and store its power in their bodies to be used to heal people in the day time.

But only the saints of the churches can perform this magic, which is why it costs a lot. There was only 1 saint for every 10 churches.

This family barely had enough to buy food to sustain the 3 of them- how in the world are they supposed to afford treatment?

But Siun was alright, Elena and Silas were just alarmed of Siun suddenly throwing up on Elena while she was breast feeding him.

[Tex : hahaha!]

[Siun : Hey shut up! it was already embarrassing the first time! you don't have to keep reminding me every time!]
