Chapter 25 Waking up

While I'm still in a comatose state, the girls and Astraea Familia were getting stronger day by day. Ryuu and Chloe told Mia-san that I was severely injured and can't come to work, they told Mia-san that they will go to the dungeon so they can't help the pub when it was resupplying ingredients. Hephaestus was supplying them armors worth 5 million valis and weapons worth 10 million valis, well they will be evading attacks so they need sharp weapons to kill the monsters fast not armors that weighing them down. Hephaestus still wearing the eyepatch because she felt that if she doesn't use it then Gods and Goddesses will be curious about who cured her eye but when she's at the 'Soul world' she tends to take off her eyepatch.

They started to sweep the dungeon floors from the 1st floor to The Lower Floors which are Floor 25th-27th but they stopped at floor 26th since they need to be stronger also and they sold the magic cores to the shop system. They started to buy gravity bands, and skills also but the one that suits them only because if one gave skill to the others that they can't even use it properly then for what? and could have trained a skill that suits them the most with that time. Chloe chose skills and techniques related to assassination, dual wielding, and CQC (Close Quarters Combat), While Ryuu chose skills and techniques related to magics, dual wielding, and CQC also.

Ryuu and Chloe started to train with the Astraea Familia, Hephaestus bought magics, why you might ask? Well, let just say that magic can do long-range attack, mid-range, even close-range and can reinforce body to be stronger, neat right? But as magic depends on mana or spiritual force within us then she needed some weapon to defend herself when she ran out of mana. As she the Goddess of Smithing, she chose 2 one-handed hammers and don't mock her for that because smithing needed precision, momentum, timing, and certain force. Imagine that if she knew how to use the traits in smithing to a fight, she would be called an expert at fighting.

Hephaestus started to train herself also and talked with her Familia which was Tsubaki and Welf about smithing equipment but as the story told us that Welf despised his blood, doesn't want to forge magic swords, and he held a lot of pride in his work (AN: A bonus info, Welf is in love with Hephaestus so poor Welf.). And so Welf only made armors but Tsubaki and Hephaestus made the magic weapons and armors also. The girls from time to time would visit me and just talk about that day's events, the improvement, etc.

After 2 months of comatose state, I woke up and found Utaha sitting near me. My throat was dry and I felt so weak, I wanted to get up but I can't but Utaha noticed me waking up. I used my thought to get a cup of water and she heard what my thought was and so she got up and got a cup of water even she brought a bottle of water also. I sat with the help of Utaha and Utaha helped me drink a cup of water since I can't even move any of my limbs and mouth. Then I lied down again and Utaha asked

"Is it worth it becoming like this just for a right eye?"

'You know I as a human in modern society can't help to sympathize with her even though you would call me naive and such but still, I was a normal 18 years old teenager who doesn't have an exciting future but have a normal future. I've read and watched anime, manga, and novels for countless hours just to satisfy my fantasy dream. The Main Character in every anime, manga, and novel is a badass and he can just solve everything when the time comes, Us readers yearn for such life but at the same time we didn't know how hard it was to be that strong. Look I know I was wrong and I could have done this in the future, I've learned my lesson Utaha.'

"Good now let me tell you about summon first, I was going to tell you about it when you meet them but that never happened. So summon is 100% loyalty upon you even if they were "evil" and such, even though at first they were confused but they will know the moment they landed their eyes on you that you are their master."

'Neat one.'

"Now unto the situation of the girls, they are currently training in the dungeon but for Hephaestus or you can call her Hephy now and she is one of your lovers now."

'Wait Hephy? Why is she being called Hephy? Wait, my lover?..... Well, that's understandable since I cured her eye.'

"Ryuu and Chloe decided Hephaestus need a nickname because her name is too long and hard to remember and Hephaestus agreed. Chloe suggested Hephy and Ryuu agreed with that name and so her nickname is Hephy now." I was giving her a twitching smile in my thoughts,

"Anyway, Ryuu and Chloe are in the dungeon with the Astraea Familia which I suppose that the girls decided that you need more help and made Astraea Familia to be stronger. Hephy is supplying them armors and weapons with her Familia, and Hephy is training magics and dual-wielding one-handed hammer. Oh with the girls going to the dungeon every day you got a massive number of Points."

'Well aren't that good? Hm... but it is true that I need a team of elites or even an army of elites. I can't wait to be transported to that world but what do you suggest about training a team or an army?'

"Well first you need to get more people to this world and for that problem, you could start with orphans, villagers, desperate God/Goddess Familia, slaves, or you can just break into the red light district and ask if anyone wanted a brand new life. Then you need a method to make your team or army that are strong overall, so I suggest cultivation to make them stronger and for lifespan, you are the one who decides."

'What a good suggestion but then we need me, girls, and Astraea Familia to be strong first but first we need to design the kingdom, I reckon that most people who will be entering this world will directly have my Tattoo. Again those with malicious intent need to be prisoned for later use. We will be making districts such as market, resident, industrial, research, education, military, etc.'

"Noted but we'll be needing a lot of people then."

'Well, we could just go to other cities or wait for a war to be created, right?'

"Right, and we could just start a war if you want just by challenging and mocking Ares you will get him bringing his troops to Orario."

'Okay, then but can you make the military to be taught sword-wielding, CQC, and gunnery? I mean I need them to be versatile in any world, in any era.'

"That will be easy and you can just make mines of metals you know? You just need to bring the ore or the bar here and I could just scan it and make a mine full of it, So for resource, there will be unlimited since you can just make it from empty mine to a full mine again and unlimited resources like water, dirt, rocks, etc. except for plants since you need to farm them instead."

'Nice! now I'm tired Utaha from this planning or such, I'm going to sleep now.'

"Okay, then I'll notify the girls that the plans, Sleep tight Alex."

Then she tucked me in and I slept again.
