The 1.000 year Great Sage ---> COMPLETED STORY

While Titania and Xenya were with Seya's parents, Ryn had finished eating and she was playing with a small pea on her plate. Seya thought that she was strangely quiet.

- A penny for your thoughts!

- A what? Seya, sometimes you say the strangest things!

- Oops… sorry, I mean, I'll give you a copper coin for your thoughts. You were in deep thought.

- Well… just thinking about what you said to me about that Demonoid. I was sad after realizing that you were completely right. But… you see, I never saw anything like that. And when it screamed, my mind kind of shutdown itself. But I can still see it and I can't figure out a way to attack it. Not knowing where to begin with is driving me nuts! I'm not sure if I won't faint if I ever saw a thing like that again, and I don't like it!

Suddenly, a familiar voice was heard, coming from behind Ryn.

- Well, my student, why don't we try to see if you can handle it?

When Ryn was looking back, she was grabbed from under her armpits and put on top of one of Xenya's shoulders, facing back. She screamed in surprise.

- What are you doing?

That question granted her a hard slap in the butt.

Slap!

- That's no way to address your amazing Master, you spoiled brat! Seya, can you lend me one of those shoulder bags of yours with that Compressed Magic? And can you put some food leftovers and some canteens with water for this brat over here?

- Sure… here. But, why do you need this?

- Well, I think your girlfriend might be hungry tonight. Or during all day, tomorrow. She'll go with us, for a nice big walk!

Seya was puzzled.

- With us? Where are we going?

From behind Seya, a familiar voice laughed.

- Ahahah! Not you, brother, she was talking about me!

Seya looked behind him and he quickly got up and hugged his friend.

- Brother Null! What a nice surprise! How did you get here?

- Xenya carried me on her light. A really nice way of traveling! I can get used to that, very easily.

Xenya smiled at him, while still holding very tightly, a kicking Ryn.

- Yeah, my love, I won't mind always having you with me, like that!

Seya looked at Xenya and then at Null. He noticed Null's trembling ears and he slapped Null's back!

- This is so cool! I figured out that Xenya liked you for a very long time, but I would have never imagined that you could be 'imprinted' by her! How did Father Sully, Cemil, and my parents react to that?

- They were very happy, actually. They are still celebrating. We escaped when we noticed that the wine was getting to their heads and they were teasing us too much. Xenya brought me to see you and to get your girlfriend, she dared me to go and meet the LizardKind. I was curious about where she was and I was making a lot of questions.

Xenya slapped Ryn's butt again so that she stopped fighting so much.

- Brother, do you mind opening a Gateway to the LizardKind border? We are going to train her, while we wait for a Demonoid to appear. And as soon as one appears, she will fight it.

Ryn was scared and she tried to free herself from that strong arm that was holding her on top of Xenya's shoulder.

- No! Let me go! I'm not mentally prepared!

Slap!

- Ouch!

- Do you want more slapping in the butt, you brat? That's no way to speak to me!

Ryn was trembling in fear, and she looked at Seya, asking for help. Seya looked at Xenya, but before he could say anything, Xenya scolded him.

- Don't you dare say anything! You are going way too easy on this brat. That's why she's like this! You will never be able to train her properly! You will always be afraid that she gets hurt! I'm going to make sure that she gets tough. I don't want that one day she faces one of those things and she freezes and dies. You will be sad if she dies, and I have sworn to myself that you will never be like that again if I can do something about it!

Hearing that, Ryn stopped struggling. Seya nodded his head and he opened a Gateway.

- Xenya, don't let her die, ok?

- That's completely up to her! If she dies, she dies, and you find another girlfriend! It's on her own interest, to not get killed!

Xenya crossed the Gateway and Ryn lifted her head, smiled at Seya and nodded her head.

- I'll be back, for sure. I'm not going to get eaten!

Xenya laughed.

- Ahahah! Yeah, that's the spirit, Security Guard Ryn Mycym!

Null hugged Seya again.

- Sorry to come and go like this, brother, but I must make sure that my girlfriend doesn't kill yours! Xenya is amazing, but you know it, right? Why you never introduced her to me, for all these years?

- She only came to me to fight on my birthday! When the fight ended, she talked for a bit and she quickly left! Make sure not to die in there! I want you and Xenya at my birthday party!

Null nodded with a smile and he crossed the Gateway, joining Xenya that still had Ryn tightly secured on top of her shoulder. Seya dispersed the Gateway and when he looked to his friends, they were also smiling. Aria was the first to speak.

- That big sister of yours is just nuts! Knnya… knnya… knnya…

Everyone laughed, including Seya.

- Yeah, she looks too much like my father!

And Princess Heiji spoke, in between laughter.

- Yeah, like you are any better! Ahahahah!

Seya shook his head.

- Crazy Princess… saying those things in front of young Rose, she will think badly of me!

Rose shook her head strongly.

- No, Milord, of course not! It was thanks to you that I'm learning how to be a better healer! And all the things that I saw today! So many wonders!

Baron Frank suddenly remembered one thing.

- Talking about wonders! I almost forgot with all this commotion today! Milord, seems that Lady Ryn approved the construction of the new games in that artisan. They are already producing more, according to her specifications. And I have another great news, the repairs in that house that it's going to be a Tea House, are complete. The people that the Queen sent talked with Margaret and the decorations were either made or bought. I think that tomorrow, Milord can go and have a look, so that Margaret and Mary can take care of the supplies.

- Perfect! Oh, but early in the morning, I need to go get Ryn's mother and take her with us to pass the entire day with the LizardKind, training. But I can take them there and return to see the Tea House. I also want to go to the Capital to check some things. I guess that after lunch, I can go to meet them again. Well, better if we tell Mary and Tomas the good news, right? I've also found a LionKind maid to work there and like that, they can get some help. I'm sure it will be an amazing success. Milady Margaret, can you call for Mary, Tomas and the other two?

- Of course, Milord, I'll be right back.

Rose was a little curious.

- Milord, what's that Tea House?

- A nice surprise and I hope, also a wedding gift for Mary and Tomas.

Milady Margaret returned with Mary, Tomas and the two CatKind new servants. Mary was puzzled.

- Well, here they are. So, because I noticed that everyone in the new Inn liked so much the tea, biscuits, and cakes of our little Mary, there's one thing that I was thinking to make in this Capital but I couldn't because I lacked people. Fortunately, we now have these two amazingly beautiful CatKind working here that can replace Mary and Tomas. As a wedding gift from me, Mary and Tomas, and with the help of the Baron, Milady Margaret, and Queen Rohan, I have a new job for you both. An amazing one.

Mary was worried, she was even trembling.

- But… Milord… we always worked here… and we are not going to marry any time soon!

- I know, but I still want to give to both of you this gift. It's also work but it's a good thing. In front of the Inn, there was an empty house, a little destroyed. The Baron told me the sad story of the couple that lived there. I hope that you two can make that place happy again. That house is now a Tea House, where people can go to drink some tea and eat biscuits and cakes. There will be some tables in a corner for the children to play while their parents are relaxing and there's also a separated room where you can have tea bags and cases of biscuits or cakes, up for sale, to anyone that wants to bring those to their home. Mary and Tomas, that Tea House is now yours. You will take care of the business and Milady Margaret will assist you in the beginning, so that you learn how to take care of it. I've also found a LionKind woman that will work for you as a maid, to help you in there. Her salary is your responsibility, as is the purchase of ingredients, the cooking, and preparation of everything, your own salary and the taxes to pay every month. I know that because it's a novelty and because we are getting so many visitors every day, it will be a huge success. I think that you will still be working until late in the night, so, you must arrange some sort of a schedule. So, what do you think? Cool, right?

During Seya's explanation, Mary and Tomas were getting pale and opening their eyes and mouth a little more at each sentence they heard. The two CatKind were smiling a lot, happy for them. When Seya finished talking, Tomas froze and Mary fainted. She was immediately grabbed by the CatKind girl, before hitting the ground. The CatKind boy grabbed Tomas arm before he suffered the same fate as Mary. Seya stopped smiling and Aria was clapping her hands.

- Amazing! A Tea House! Great idea, big brother! I'll be the first customer! Knnya… knnya… knnya…

- I thought it was a good idea, but Mary didn't react very well!

Hina threw a fresh gush of Wind to Mary and another one to Tomas. After they have gained some color, Mary was the first to speak, while Tomas had tears running down his face while smiling.

- Milord, I don't know how we can ever pay you for all your kindness! We are just some servants, and until Milord arrived here, we were slaves. We were never treated like one unless the Empire Tax Collector was here, but we were. We never had anyone before arriving into this house that was kind to us. But you Milord, I never could have imagined that such a person, so kind, could exist! I thank you, Milord, for all this, and I'll make everything possible, to not let you down.

- I know that, Mary. That's why I rely on you and Tomas to make the Tea House, a success. By the way, the new maid has a beautiful baby girl, with amazing yellow eyes. I'll make some arrangements for that the baby can be with her during her work. I hope you two help her with that little one.

Mary had a sparkle on her wet eyes and her tail was waving.

- A baby LionKind? Those babies are so adorable! I like CatKind babies, but LionKind ones, are my doom! I don't know if I'll be able to do any work, with such a cute thing in there! Heheheh!

Seya smiled and he winked one eye to Milady Margaret.

- And I know someone that I'm sure will want the baby for herself, right, Milady?

Milady Margaret was smiling a lot.

- A baby… a LionKind baby… I never saw one! I love to look at the eyes of CatKind people, but if that baby girl has yellow eyes…

Seya smiled while looking to the CatKind couple.

- Yeah, I totally understand you, Milady. Well, what about if we go for a walk? I need to get away of these two, or I'm going to hug them very tightly and brush their tails until exhaustion! Ahahahah!

Aria laughed and she pointed with her thumb at Seya.

- Ahahah! Yeah, you two must be very careful with this cat-lover here! Or one day he will start to hug you both for no reason! Ahahahah!

Everyone was laughing, and a sleeping Princess Arys wakes up.

- Shut up! Too much noise! I'm sleeping! Wait… this is not my bed… where…

Duncan held Arys' hand.

- You passed out of exhaustion when you arrived here. Are you hungry?

- A little. But I'm still so tired. I just want to eat something and go to bed.

Duncan nodded and then he faced Seya.

- Milord, I think we are not going with you for a walk. I need to make sure that Arys eats something and that she sleeps early, she still looks very tired. And me too. Queen Titania made me fight non-stop since we went to that Island.

Everyone nodded and a lot of yawning was heard around the table. Seya smiled.

- Ok, it's better if we all go to bed early, then. Tomorrow you'll have a full day, training with the LizardKind. Little Aria, I'll accompany you to the Communicator Crystal so that you can return home.

- Ok, big brother! Goodbye, everyone!

Seya went to the office, holding hands with Aria. When they approached the Communicator Device, Aria vanished in silence.

- She didn't even say goodbye! Well, maybe she had somewhere to go, in a hurry. Off to bed, today was tiring!

Seya left the office and he went upstairs, to his room. He entered it and went straight to the Big Crystals, to fill their Magic. After finishing it, he felt a disturbance in the Magic Flow of the World, inside his room. It was a familiar one, but as soon as he turned to face his bed with a smile, he saw someone that he didn't know. A girl of 16 or 17 years old was smiling at him, dressed with a seductive nightgown that had a very long cleavage that went until her belly button. Big and pointy breasts were looking at him. The girl was smiling, behind those blue eyes that together with her very long curly hair, made Seya's heart skip a beat. The girl spoke with a melodious voice, a little similar but more mature to a certain little girl that Seya knew very well.

- All that you did today touched very deeply my heart. Your kindness and your caring for others always impressed me. But today, my admiration for you went to the maximum until now. So, here I am, prepared to be a little 'stupid' with you. You were flirting too much with me lately, let's see if you have the courage to do everything that you threaten me with. Knnya… knnya… knnya…

- Aria… I'm honored, but… I have Ryn, I don't think…

- Sorry, not allowed. Consider this as your punishment for teasing a Goddess like me. You won't be able to resist me. I'm way more experienced on seducing men than you are on resisting women. And stop the ashamed act! We both know that if we count your age on Earth with your actual age, you are a middle-aged man, with a lot of life experience and knowledge, so, I'm sure that you are not so faithful to young Ryn, as you pretend to be if the situation requires! Examiner Tilia, your services are not needed for now!

From behind Seya, a familiar voice was heard, but when he turned around, he couldn't see anyone.

- Of course, Goddess Aria, I knew it already. Goodbye, Seya, see you tomorrow.

Special Note - Stopping the report for this evening!
