Summoned and Unwanted

250 Olive and Lian

Vincent gave the goblin boy a head pat and said, “Do you like the name, Lian? What do you think?”

The demigoblin boy cracked a cheery smile and replied, “Yahoo! My name is Lian! Go... Vincent named me Lian!” He raised his arms and jumped a few times. It appeared he wished for a personal name to be called with.

Vincent lowered his hand to give the demigoblin girl a head pat. He could feel her impatience as she was slightly shaking from excitement. “And you little cute girl. How about the name Olive?”

The demigoblin girl didn’t answer immediately. She raised a smile and hugged Vincent. Then she rubbed her face with the small horn scratching his abs. The cute demigoblin then replied, “Yes, I like my name. Olive sound cute, hehe.”

Lian felt somewhat jealous, so he joined Olive. Both demigoblin children hugged Vincent.

Ester smiled at the two demigoblins hugging Vincent. On the other hand, Lupa showed an opposite reaction. She puffed her cheeks and crossed her arms. Anyone looking at her could tell that she wanted to join in the hug.

Vincent tussled both children’s hair and used Inspection on them.

[Third Eye activate.]
[Overheat description.]

[Overheats the blood and body of the host. The host will exhibit an increase in their Strength, Agility, and Perception stats by a multiplication of two.]

[Overheat lasts for five minutes, and the trait reset will occur when the sun is beneath the host.]

.

Vincent and Kazumi stared at the Overheat trait and the description. A guess passed through their minds. Depending on the blood used, the demigoblins trait would differ, it seemed.

[Hmm... it doesn’t mention the affliction of cold after use. I wonder if what happened to Iris was because she overdid it. Or maybe because the trait might add a minor cold down affliction.]

-It could also be because Iris suffered from Mana Fatigue, and the condition might have worsened the weaker she became.]

Vincent and Kazumi seemed to have agreed on the hidden side effect of using the trait.

“Lian and Olive, listen well to what I am about to say. Please don’t wish to use your trait or call out the word Overheat. It will make you stronger for five minutes once a day, but you might feel cold for some time. Only used your trait for emergencies. Do both of you understand?” Vincent demanded.

Lian, “Yes.”

Olive, “Yes.”

“Now that the important stuff is settled and you can talk without any problems, can you now tell me why you two stayed here and why you came back after running away?” Vincent asked.

“I wanted to grow strong! Strong like you! And... I liked the shiny green horn. It looks cool. We stayed here to wait for Vincent.” Lian said with a cheery smile.

“Hehe, I want to grow cute like herb big sister Iris. I hide in the cave to wait for Vincent. I did not want to go away from here.” Olive cutely said.



???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Vincent frowned at the reason why they stayed behind and asked, “What about your parents? They must be worried about you.”

“My mommy and daddy return to ground when I was this finger old.” Olive cutely raised one finger and smiled as if she didn’t mind mentioning her parents.

“Mine too. Herb, big sister’s father, told me what had happened. A big bad bear return my parents to earth. Olive and I stay together. We are only ones with no mommy and daddy.” Lian explained why the two were so close, as if brother and sister of best friends.

“So, did you two run away after the bad humans arrived?” Vincent asked.

Lian and Olive nodded a second later.

“I understand. You know big sister Ester, right? Go to her, and she will give you something to eat. You can help her take care of Iris.” Vincent said.

Olive, “The kind big sister that gave me a scarf. I know her, hehe.”

Lian, “The goddess... big sister Ester is kind. Vincent is lucky.”

“Hahaha. Go before your sweet words give me diabetes.” Vincent waved at the two smiling children running towards Ester.

Lupa approached Vincent from behind and asked, “Am I going to be a mother?”

Vincent flinched and immediately replied, “Let’s have them stay at Tula’s home for now. We can think about adoption later.”

[Lian and Olive made the mood pleasant...]

-I’m still gonna kill that monster!-

Vincent raised his gaze and glared. He looked at the moon covered by a small cloud. His mind was as cloudy as the current night sky.

-I know what you are thinking. Maid Xu is almost done sketching the whole mansion plan. I don’t want anyone I love to get hurt.-

[So... you mean that it’s a solo mission.]

Vincent placed his hands behind his back and paced toward Maid Xu on her knees. She was almost finished drawing the diagrams on the ground with a stick.

-Well, aren’t you going to come with me?-

[Hehe. I won’t leave your side, ever!]

“I’m done!” Maid Xu seemed satisfied with the floor designs. “Ohh, Vincent, you’re here!” She exclaimed when she was about to look for Vincent.

Maid Xu saw Vincent gazing attentively at the diagrams. *Gulp* She hesitated for a while, but after pondering, Maid Xu decided to ask, “My lady... what will you do to my lady if you find her? Can sir Vincent let my lady get away from that prison?

“First of all, I never said I wanted to save your lady, but it’s simple really. I need to find you lady and have her vouch for me by saying how I am a friend that went to visit her after I bribed the guards with a few silvers.” Vincent then rubbed his chin after he finished talking. Vincent didn’t think it was enough, so he pondered a few other drastic ideas.

[Are you going to use Lilith Lionheart as a scapegoat for the event I advise against doing? I know this is a heat of the moment idea but think of the future for a moment. You might not get the chance to escape the city if things turn sour.]

Vincent smiled and arrived at his answer, thanks to Kazumi’s suggestion to worry about the future in order to plan for the present. “I know! If I kill the husband that mistreats his wife so badly that he even fakes a kidnapping to kill, steal, and sell adventurers as slaves, doesn’t it mean she will be able to marry again as a widow?” He said.

[Huh? Are you really Vincent?]

Maid Xu gasped after such proclamation shocked her.

The area was quiet, with a few noses coming from the crackling campfire. Thus, his girls heard his proclamation to marry another woman.

Lupa raised her ears at the possibility of a new sister. Ester, however, frowned and asked, “Vincent, I never thought you would ever want to steal another man’s wife with us in love with you. Even if the noble is such a horrible man and his wife is suffering so much.”

“Maid Xu. If I marry your lady Lilith Lionheart, can I become a noble? I don’t care about the rank. I need to become a noble because always I keep my promises to my girls.” Vincent asked a question that made Ester realize why he was interested in marrying a woman he didn’t know for more than a few minutes. He was thinking about the future instead of gaining another woman.

“I’m sorry... it is all because of me...” Ester said apologetically after she understood his words.

Maid Xu thought, ‘If this man can help my lady... I think marrying for a noble title with a few conditions can make my lady live a happier life.’

“Yes, if her husband dies and she officially becomes a widow, you can marry and become a noble with the brand of a commoner marrying for nobility. ” Maid Xu answered.

“Great! Then I will marry Lilith Lionheart. Ester and Lupa, are you fine with it? I will be able to marry you later.” Vincent excitedly said.

“I never met my future sister, but if I can form a more powerful bond for life with my mate, I say a big okay, hehehe.” Lupa giggled uncontrollably.

“I feel sorry you have to go through such lengths to marry me but... I want to be your wife officially. I hope Lilith is a pleasant woman to live with and call her my sister.” Ester agreed as well.

“Vincent, you are planning to do that thing to Lilith? Is that why you are convinced she will accept?” Ester knew Vincent would play the retainer rebirth healing card and get the married woman to accept the proposal before her husband was even killed.

“What are you people intending to do to my lady? Are you talking about forcing my lady to marry you?” Maid Xu became angry. At this heated moment, she didn’t care if Vincent became enraged and killed her.

“Simple really. What does your lady want most in the world? Whatever your answer is, I can do it.” Vincent replied.

“What! Are you going to love my lady as if she was the last living woman in this world and make love to her every day until she sleeps with a satisfied smile on her face? Are you going to...”
