War and Fortune 2.236

Viggo had arrived in front of the gate facing the street, in Tsubaki's house, in the Herrero District. He was accompanied by Sakura and Ana, the purple-haired twins. They wore dark clothes with a leather breastplate. Sakura with her hair up to her shoulders and Ana with her hair neat in two pigtails that reached her calves.

—Come on, Tsubaki said you had to go to the shed, where her workshop is— Sakura said to Viggo's right. The latter gave her a brief glance, finding her beautiful, but mysterious. Something was up to her, Ana and Tsubaki. Viggo turned to the other side to see Ana with the two long pigtails that gave her a tender appearance.

—Viggo— said Ana, in a voice soft as the wind, but seductive. She takes Viggo's hand and guide him to the door made of iron with boards placed vertically with a reddish varnish.

Viggo let himself be guided at all times. Sakura holding him by the right arm and Ana carrying him by the left hand. They stopped in front of the door, Ana took some keys from her left trouser pocket and put it in the lock. The door opened and they entered. Inside you could see the same front patio as always, floor with stone cakes and a shelf for small bonsai with the structure of a staircase. All the little bonsai were in their clay pots, short in stature and their branches extended sideways.

Viggo looked at the one-story house with the windows and doors closed. Without colors, with a room, a bathroom, kitchen, and dining room. Tsubaki had been living in this place for too many years, secluded and pursuing her dream and that of her mother.

—Viggo— said Ana in a soft voice, Viggo looked at her and she continued —Tsubaki must be in the shed, you can get her. We will wait for you in the house—

—What's wrong? Is it a very bad thing that only the two of us should be there?— asked Viggo jokingly.

Sakura on his right side and holding his arm, gave a mysterious chuck and said —Who knows? You must find out on your own—

Viggo turned his face to look at her face. Shoulder-length purple hair, diamond-shaped face, big purple eyes, and charming smile. She would be the closest thing to a mischievous fairy with that expression full of mystery.

Viggo took a deep breath and said —From now on I would like you to stop walking so much in the dungeon and walk with me, wherever I must go—

—That...— Ana said on the other side, grimacing uncomfortably as she was still chasing her dream of becoming strong. She and her sister were already level four and one step away from becoming level five.

Viggo turned and continued —in that case, let it be occasionally. Walking around like when we were kids wouldn't hurt—

Ana nodded with a smile, as it would only be occasionally. She approached Viggo and stood on the toe of her feet. Viggo bent down a little and gave her a tender kiss. Then he turned to look at Sakura and gave her a kiss. Both sisters walked away from him with a smile, arrived in front of the door of Tsubaki's house, and walked in. Not before kissing her hand and then blowing it as if it were a petal that would fly to Viggo. The latter smiled, felt the distance with the twins. He had spent too much time involved in other matters, worried about his other women. Viggo could only count on the luck that the twins were chasing their own dream. Otherwise, with their beauty and charm they would have found another who would pay more attention to them and focus on loving only them. Viggo let out a sigh and thought again that he was born luckier than anyone else in this world or in all worlds.

Viggo walk to the entrance of the shed with two huge semi-closed wooden doors. He opened the door on the right letting out a faint squeak of the hinges and looked inside. On the walls on the left and right were shelves with swords and spears of all kinds, but there were no longer swords on the ground, no scattered materials, or black soot covering all things. Everything was clean and tidy like it hadn't been seen in a long, long time. At the back of the shed were the worktables on the sides and in the center the forge turned off. In front of the forge and sitting on the anvil, was Tsubaki, with neat black hair in a ponytail and tanned skin. She was wearing a white sleeveless kimono that reached her waist. Underneath he wore a red hakama combined with wooden sandals typical of the Far East.

—You've arrived, Red— Tsubaki said with a friendly smile.

Viggo let out a happy chuck at seeing her in such a good mood. He entered the shed, closed the door behind him and walked to where she was. Then he bent down and gave her a kiss on the lips that lengthened because Tsubaki took him by the back of her neck and did not let go until she was satisfied.

—I— said Tsubaki, looking him in the eye —I need to tell you something, go get a chair—

Viggo nodded and looked at the surroundings. In one corner was a chair with four legs and a back made of iron. Viggo went to find her, placed her in front of Tsubaki and the two were face to face.

—What's that special thing you must tell me?— asked Viggo with a broad smile.

—First this— said Tsubaki, taking the katana into a black holster she had on her lap.

Viggo stretched out his hand, Tsubaki held out the katana, and Viggo received it. Viggo unsheathed the blade and only missed that he saw a few centimeters to be impressed. The blade of the katana emitted an igneous red color, with a terrifying edge and an elegant finish. Viggo continued to pull out the katana until he drew it completely and lifted it pointed to the sky. The hilt was a light blue color, golden handguard, and the blade igneous red. Too beautiful, too showy, too dangerous. Viggo could not boast of knowing about weapons, but he was the bearer of two of the labors of his father, who, along with his mother, were the best blacksmiths in all Orario. And this katana, it was far above the rest of the weapons. Perhaps, he couldn't compete with his father's weapons, but he sure was better than ninety percent of what the other blacksmiths did. A true masterpiece. Viggo looked down and began to think in his mind until he understood the meaning of this katana and looked at Tsubaki with a big smile and full of expectations.

—You?— asked Viggo.

—Yes— Tsubaki replied with a broad smile. She turned on the anvil with her back to him. Then she raised her ponytail and arms so that he could unwrap the sarashi around her breasts.

Viggo sheathed the katana, put it on the chair and stood behind Tsubaki. He saw the tan back and brought his hands behind his neck. He passed his palms from her neck to her shoulders, brought her mouth closer and kissed the skin.

—Viggo, it's not time— Tsubaki said in a pampered tone of voice.

Viggo let out a chucusage and brought his hands to the left side of the sarashi, where the knot could be seen. He unbuttoned it and began to unwrap the bandages that made up the sarashi. Tsubaki's large breasts fell overcome by gravity. They looked round and plentiful.

Viggo finished removing the sarashi and saw Tsubaki's back completely. In the center was the coat of arms of the goddess Hephaestus, with an erupting volcano in the center and two crossed hammers. Viggo began to read the values that had apparently been reset to —I—. Tsubaki's name appeared on the cabera and underneath it was a "5" that indicated her level. However, for Viggo and Tsubaki that was the least of it. If it hadn't been necessary to go to the dungeon and kill monsters, Tsubaki would never have gone to the dungeon. She cared about something else, her mother's dream and hers.

Viggo came to the section where the abilities were described, he read "abnormal resistance" a common skill that anyone who has reached level three should have. However, underneath that skill was what mattered —master blacksmith—

Viggo made a big smile and opened his mouth as if he were taking a breath. Then he burst out a laugh as he clapped. Tsubaki looked at him sideways, happy, very happy. Her eyes filled with tears. She turned around, Viggo approached and embraced with all his might. She began to sob, tired and stressed by the constant search for this skill, but finally, after so many years; she had succeeded.

After about ten minutes of crying, Tsubaki calmed down, but kept hugging Viggo. The latter kissed him on the forehead and asked —Have you told anyone else?—

—Only the twins and Lady Hephaestus know— said Tsubaki, hiding her face on Viggo's chest —I want you to accompany me in the afternoon to tell okaa-sama—

—You're going to have to be careful— Viggo said half-jokingly —she may faint from the impression—

—Most likely, but after this, I can say that I have made my okaa-sama happy—

—Yes, Tsubaki is an incredible daughter, a great woman, an unparalleled blacksmith master and the best wife—

—I love you— Tsubaki whispered, all my feelings looming in her chest.

—I love you too, forever— replied Viggo, put his hand to Tsubaki's chin, raised her face and kissed her on the lips —you're amazing—

—You're amazing too— Tsubaki said, she put on a serious face and continued him —I want you to keep that katana with you until the day our son is worthy of it—

—Okay, if that's your wish, I'll keep her by my side—

—What's your name?—

—Sun fang— said Tsubaki —it will be the legacy of our family and all who have my blood will be able to wield it—

—I understand, I'll take care of the sun's fang, but what will be the standard for deciding that our child will be worthy?—

—I'll leave that to danna-sama— Tsubaki said, her cheeks blushing. After all, she wasn't used to calling Viggo that way. She felt she was too serious and drew a line between the two, as her mother had taught her. However, if she and Viggo were going to take the next step and start a family in every sense of the word, some things needed to change.

—You're very serious, Tsubaki— Viggo said with a big smile as he saw how seriously she called him. He kissed her on the lips and continued —maybe we should practice calling me that in a loving moment. Then you wouldn't think so strictly when calling me that way—

—I'm embarrassed— Tsubaki said, blushing and looking away.

—Come on— Viggo said, approaching Tsubaki's ear and then whispering to her —Come on, call me danna-sama—

Tsubaki looked into his eyes with reproach but seeing Viggo's face framed in those red hair and with a wide smile, she couldn't get angry. She looked down and then raised her face to look at him shyly —danna-sama— murmured.

—That's better— Viggo said, giving her a little kiss on the lips as her hands went down to her hips and caressed her sides —now says it again— whispered. Tsubaki did so and without realizing it, she began to moan that name while feeling that all her weak points were assaulted without mercy.
