"Sir, can i ask a question?" The mosquito like voice of the reclusive one, newly named Lana, was barely heard before the table went quiet, everyone was listening to her with fragile interest. "Yes Lana, is there something on your mind?" The man she now served did not seem to count her among the servants."The cat is talking" Lana said plainly, Yunan answer came immediately: "her name is Sapphira, she should have been an amba.s.sador from the island of the awakened but ended up degrading to a house cat, she just returned from a trip there with the other pets, although that little bird over there is still wild and untamed, he is no our pet" Yunan finished with a smile. Rana next to her scoffed at Yunan and said "next you will tell us the winged lizard is a dragon, the flaming parrot is a phoenix, that oldie over there is the G.o.d is smiths and the other two were the true Pope and the adventurer"s guild leader".
"if you figured it out yourself there is no need to make such a sarcastic tone behind the words". Yunan was not really careful about his words so Fae took over for him, "Yeah, is it that unbelievable that this place has a few legendary beings sitting at the same table?" Fae herself had it hard to believe she met Fortuna and Hephaestus at first, but one meal later and she acted like she met ascended all the time.
"Please do not insult my intelligence" said Lana "Hephaestus is a G.o.d, why would he be sitting with some woman who was more focused on flirting with another guy across the table, even if we accept that, do you want me to believe the Pope of the light church and the guild leader can just come by for a spontaneous dinner party? Meeting any one of them is near impossible and you tell me they just sit there like they were at home, please" Lana rolled her eyes at the people around them. (That last "please" should be read as the sa.s.sy response puh-leaze)
"Why not? Markus is father to both Leader and Lili so this place is like home, Martin likes hanging out with Markus so he comes by almost as often, the one you called some woman is my beloved, you know her as Lady luck, or Fortuna the G.o.ddess of luck, she was the first one in my harem, Hephaestus is usually working all the time so we get him to come and spend quality time with us, what is so hard to believe about that".
"All of it" both Lana and Rana shouted back, when Yunan shrugged, Lana asked once more "how long did you know these people, how can they treat this place like home". a look of reminiscence filled Yunan"s face and a smile sprouted there.
"First one i met was mom, she is the older lady sitting with the untamed bird, she was the sister that adopted me in the orphanage, then there was Bai, he was to be my teacher in the academy, next was Leader and subsequently the rest of them, i came up with the name of Debauchery in fact, then there was Leol, he is not here now but he can be considered my first friend he comes by to have fun every now and then, he was my roommate."
Yunan hugged Reina and Lili closer "then these two babes joined us as students, at first Reina was so spoiled and weak we had to take her to the bath with us, and Lili was like "no boys allowed to bath with girls" she soon turned around and shared our baths too, we met Lili just after meeting Martin and Markus for the first time, there was a doomsday cult and we kinda stumbled on it, Debauchery ended up dealing with it, we met Drogon around that time too, i remember how those old dudes tossed away some important artifact when they figured out he was a dragon". Martin and Markus laughed as memories returned to them.
"To be exact, we met Drogon before Lili and the oldies, found him while clearing up a kobold nest, about two or three months after we entered the academy". Balin interjected "back when we did not know how truly lucky you were, we were there to test your metal and found just the necessary materials to upgrade the only piece of gear that was truly yours". Dustan add in. Lucian continued "that night we ended up promising him to teach him our best and most exclusive techniques, looking back at it now, we could have paid much less for those 30 something attribute points".
"I was so lucky then, getting a star heart, upgrading it to spirit heart, hatching a lucky Valyrian dragon, in the span of months, good times, anyway i met Fortuna and had a date with her just before being kidnapped by some people who belonged to the cult we were dismembering, and then we started dating while i was climbing solo, even though i had a party, that was only the students of Debauchery, the party still exists but our levels are too far off, so we can only meet here".
"I met Hephaestus while adventuring, very early in the dungeon, on the 14th floor, then he built this place for me in the 20th floor, around a month later i met Anne and Ophelia, she became my doctor then joined the harem after it was created, Sarah was my first escort client, we met around the 25th floor, and then she became a member around a year or two later, Sapphira came around that time too, Ignis i met less than 3 months ago, as for the untamed bird, it was making trouble for my teachers so I helped it take revenge"
Theresa looked at the bird in her palm enjoying a grooming "this little thing is a wild untamed monster? Look at how obedient it is, you guys must have been really bad with him". Yunan chose to nod and not explain, the story was too complicated and mom would reprimand him for stabbing his teachers in the back under his roof
Lana and Rana were dumbfounded, this whole mess was just big series of fortunate events? You get to the academy and meet a green teacher who invites his whole party to teach you, then you meet your first and second wives as fellow students because they also wanted to be taught by the best available, you get a dragon, meet the two most influential people in the planet because you stumbled upon a cult accidentally, you start dating a G.o.ddess by sheer luck, meet the G.o.d of smiths by an accident. With this kind of luck why are you still not king of the world?.
