I woke up between two squishy mountains. After recollecting the things that happened, I let out a sigh. I met God, should have been more surprising he looked exactly like I imagined it, eventually he wanted to look like that for me?
But he was way friendlier than it is told in the bible or other novels. And his generous way in giving me so much power... statistically I am now stronger than a deity. And I don´t even know what will come now after I killed one of the gods in this world. Come to think of it did I get legendary weapons from my entrance in this world?
I searched for a few weapons in my inventory with search options like "Weapon description", "Legendary" and "Holy"
I did not really expect some, because which hero with a right mind would attack a large settlement of dragons but apparently the heroes or legendary weapon holders are stupid in this world. I have more than 100 weapons with holy and 300 legendary class weapons, as well as 1000 with a description. I put them in an extra folder and tried to get out of my current situation... the embrace of breasts. I will not say that it did not feel good, it does, but I want to do something.
I began to move a little, but it looks like Maia don´t want to let me go because she hugged me tighter.
What now? I can wake her or I can stay....no, no she will be my new mother I am not allowed to think in this way.
So I gently patted Maias head. "Mmmm what is" was her reply I answered while looking up.
"Ähm Maia? I´d like to breath."
" Oh good morning Clair, did you sleep well?"Maia
"Yes, it is nice to have someone next to you after all these days in the woods." was my response with a little bit of acting.
"You won´t have to sleep outside from now on, let´s get out and make breakfast" Maia
"Ok"
We both stood up and got dressed, then we went downstairs where I saw Kurt. He is standing in the kitchen part and it looks like he is roasting something.
"Morning honey, what are you cooking?"Maia
"Morning, Garuda Eggs. Morning Clair how are you."Kurt
"Morning, better than yesterday, may I help?"Clair
"That´s good, no you don´t have to, please sit down and wait, I´ll be finished in a few moments. Maia, could you get the bread?"Kurt
"Sure""Ok" Maia and Clair
I sat down and waited a few minutes, Maia did the same and Kurt gave each of us a portion of the Garuda Egg.
I hope I can eat it, in my original life I nearly puked when I tried to eat eggs, which were not in a cake, ice or another processed form. I looked down at my plate and did nothing.
"You don´t have to wait, eat."Kurt
Looks like I was mistaken for being timid.
"Okey," I said and slowly started to eat. And it was as I feared, eggs are tasting horribly, what now I don´t want to eat that and I don´t want to look ungrateful.... That´s it while I look like I eat it I´ll put it in the inventory, I am a genius.
So I took the next bite of this horrible tasting egg and showed it in my mouth and from there in the inventory. I had to bit down on the fork so that it did not go in as well. And after each and every bite I drank some water or ate bread in order to get this accused taste out of my mouth.
"You don´t like eggs do you, Clair?" Maia
Was I so readable? I need a poker face skill for the future. Let´s invent Skart or other card games for this.
"You don´t have to force yourself."Kurt
I looked at my plate and said with a small voice. "I did not want to look ungrateful, because you both accepted me in your house, even when you don´t know me"
"Clair we wanted a child for a long time and how can we outcast such an adorable child as you just for a dislike of eggs. And yes we don´t know you but we can change that, so say it if you don´t like or want something, if we can we will help you."Kurt
Wau these two are really nice... makes me a little queasy for deceiving them. OK, acting skill do you best.
"hick... th... thanks, hick" Was my response while some tears fell down on the egg.
Dammit, even I would be teary if I hear that, I have to be careful that I don´t believe my own lies. Lies are tricky you have to know who you lied to to continue your lies and one mistake destroys the card house of lies. I didn´t lie often in my old world to much of annoying things, it is easier to tell the truth, but here I have to.
I looked up and saw a Maia who stood up, embraced me and began to sob herself and a Kurt with a tear in his left eye.
"If you want you can be from now on Clair Schmiedehand, will you give us the honor to become our daughter?"Kurt
"I´ll try to be a good daughter d..dad."Clair
I LOVE this skill. And now even Kurt starts to sob. Now there were three sobbing people in the dining room, two because they think they got a daughter and one who deceives them, kinda looks like I am evil....Nah I don´t mean them harm so it will be good and it could be that there is an academy like a school in this world where I can go. Hopefully a magic school for everyone. But I don´t think so, knowledge was for the noble in the medieval time. If so I try to buy me into it.
The sobbing session lasted for 10 minutes. Until finally Kurt stopped and tried to get attention with some coughs.
"cough... so Clair, Maia and I have to do something today, we have to clean the armory because we need a room for you and we also need some clothes and a bed. Soooo I´ll clean the armory and you will go with Maia to Alice in order to get some clothes. "Kurt
"Uhu, mm...mommy can we go?"Clair
This small sentence was the trigger for a new sobbing session on Maias side.
And finally after five more minutes we both walked hand in hand to Alice.
We entered the shop and it was like yesterday everywhere were clothes and fabrics.
"Alice are you there? Wake up if you are sleeping. I want you to get some clothes for Clair."Maia
"Huh? Maia, what are you doing here with Clair?" a sleepy looking Alice
Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road.
"Kurt and I adopted her yesterday did you not hear it in the gathering?"Maia
"Oh, you did? That´s wonderful for you both.... Clair sweety what do you want to wear?"A slightly more awake Alice.
"Hi, Alice. Some trousers and shirts would be good."Clair
"Trousers?! For such a sweet girl like you trousers would be unworthy, you have to wear a dress or skirt."Alice
Maia just stood there and nodded enthusiastically.
"But I want to play outside and climb trees and so on, a skirt or dress would be a hindrance." Clair
"But just trousers is a no go you have to have some dresses, every woman wants to wear a beautiful dress". Maias reply.
I am no woman in my thinking, but that will be bad if I say it. So It happened after a discussion of, I think it were, hours that I will get some trousers and a dress as well as a skirt. Why is was my persuade skill on MAX LV not good enough for such a thing? Could it be a natural law for women that is unshakable?
We brought the clothes back and Kurt was finished with the armory, now we have to get a bed and with that goal Maia, Kurt and I went to the carpenter of the village.
"Hi Mick, we need a bed for our d..daughter," said Kurt with a quick stop at the daughter part.
"Oh, Rick and Maia I already heard the news. And you have to be Clair" he said while smiling down at me.
"You got a cute one there Maia would have offered myself if I had a wife. hahaha"Mick
"Yeah, she is isn´t she?... Can you make a bed for her?"Maia
"Well sure can do, I´ll deliver it when it is finished."Mick
We thanked him and begun to leave but not before I heard Kurt whispering to Mick.
"Please make it fast I can´t have fun-time with Maia while Clair is in the same bed and I have to sleep in the forge."
Micks only response was a loud laugh.
(AutorNotw: I will start to name Maia and Kurt Mom and Dad)
Fun time eh? Sorry dad. Hope they are not too loud when I am in my own room.
We walked back and sat down at the table in the kitchen.
"So Clair we have to know each other to life a happy life and because was not long ago that you lost your real parents, we won´t hurry you. If you want to tell us do it when you are ready. We both will wait and tell you our little story so that you get to know us." Kurt
I simply gave a nod.
"I´ll start then, I grew up in a town to the north, where I was an orphan. The orphanage was led by the temple of Siria"Maia
I look confused at the word Siria. And Maia saw my look.
"Do you know who Siria is?"Maia, I shook my head.
"Siria is one of the 8 God´s in Silga, she is a goddess of light and healing. You will learn more of them in the school.
Anyway, the orphanage was led by this temple and they noticed my affinity for light magic. So they taught me in the art of healing and detoxification. But I didn´t want to stay there so I traveled the world as an adventurer. While I traveled I met Kurt, he is normally a warrior, but he is too stupid to wield a weapon and his weapons often broke while he fought. And as a counter measure he learned how to smith his own weapons. Alas, he was nice, friendly and know how to cook."Maia
Kurt twitched by her introduction to his skills but smiled at her end.
"I am not stupid, these things are breaking when I hit with them. Anyway, I was born in a village like this one and wanted to be an adventurer, but I had, as you heard, no talent with weapons so I also learned to smith my own ones. Would be to expensive if I have to buy every time a new one. And on my days as an adventurer I met Maia in a party of four. We were able to reach D-Rank but lost after a quest our leader of the party. The group dispersed and Maia and Me traveled to this village and settled down, but were not able to get children, but now we have you."Kurt
I listened with utmost interest because this world has an adventurer ranking system. And I like the life story's of people.
"So if there is anything unclear you can ask."Maia
"Dad, can I learn how to smith?"Clair
I think they didn´t expect such a question from a ten-year-old girl because they didn´t say something for a whole minute.
"Hahaha, I don´t know if you are strong enough sweetie. Let´s go tomorrow to the adventurer guild and register you for an ID-Card and if your strength is more than 15 I will teach you. Ok?"Kurt
-He said 15 because most children of the age of ten would be round about 5 and only a few would have more than 10 not to mention 15, but he did not know that Clair's overall strength was more than 100.000.
"Ok, I can hardly wait. And mom can you teach me magic?"Clair
Maia had a wry smile because magic affinity is rare and it would be a giant coincidence for Clair to have the same affinity.
"Sure but I don´t know if you have the affinity for light magic, we have to test it first. But the village chief should have a testing stone, I´ll ask him later and if he has one we will test it tomorrow ok?"
I rapidly nodded to hear an answer.
Kurt had a wry smile as he saw my enthusiastic face because he did not expect me to have the stats and the affinity.
So he began to plan my, for him to surely come, cheering-up and said "Now let´s eat something and then we´ll go to sleep."
We did as we said and my fist day came to an end....
____________________________________________________________________________________________
I will probably not have the time to write in the week, so don´t expect chapters in this time.
I think I will do something about my way of writing direct speech. Something like
" I did it," said ??? and stop with "I did it"??? because I can continue with my sentence after the said ???
What do you think?
And are there suggestions for the future story?
She will get a skill for identification skill in the near future and she will also not be limited for light magic.
