Chapter 172: Prophecy

Perseus POV

"The 2 are approaching our direction." Leilah reported meaning that we now have to escape the eastern continent before I get confronted by the yellow rose duo.

Lilith then teleported all of us with the exception of Maple who teleported to her tourist spot or wherever else she wants to visit. We got home and I see healer Beek doing his yearly health check-up thing which I usually manage to escape from.

There are no vaccines or anything, but magic should suffice for everything, and yet there are still yearly health check-ups, I get that I'm some sort of miracle child and need them at first since I'm not supposed to be alive or strong due to what I am, a child born predominately from the genes of 2 women, but I hate this crap.

"Hah, you can't skip it now." healer Beek laughed

"Noooo."

*****

And I am now in one of the worst tortures with a guy whose personality is very torturous for me, very annoying cuz he keeps asking a lot of questions and doesn't like to shut the fuck up. He's lucky that he's a family friend.

"Oh, I've had a warning from your mother to not ask you some standard questions, so I will," he said as he check my eyes "I've already asked your parents this, but I will do the same to you because I love to see your annoyance, any family history with mental illnesses?"

"I have a vegan uncle who enjoys almond milk."

"Veganism isn't a mental illness."

"Did you not hear the enjoy almond milk part? He also pours milk before cereal."

"Ok, understandable, alright, what do you see?"

"A 40 year old virgin."

...It went on for 30 minutes for a useless health check-up, asking me stupid questions and all the other stuff, I just want to rest as I know that the news of the faction no one thought would make any significant impact on the world showed up stronger than ever.

*****

Phineas is still allowed to attend the tournament, but due to the human continent's great relationship with Tehios, he will be banned from a good portion of Tehios. Too bad the corrupt politician from Tehios who's trying to pull them into the war through bribes and other means didn't die, he didn't even get injured.

But he'll be making an appearance at the prelims at the very least, so I can decide what to do with him then. Lilith is currently staying with us and working from our home through calls which benefited me greatly since I can listen to her conversations.

Leilah was the one that asked her to stay which is helpful cuz I did hear about their plans here and there, and one thing that stood out was the fact that the humans are now actually actively working on recruiting me since the demons, Lilith specifically, which caused some chain reaction of people wanting to recruit me.

Heck, people in the black market are talking about it too, my services are available, and my attitude usually says otherwise, but my hesitance in wanting to whether to join the demons or not, it means that everyone has a chance, so factions all over are finding all the resource they can offer for me to go to their side.

"It looks like you and Leilah have been getting along better than usual lately, what happened?" mom Nyra asked as she handed me some snacks while I'm on the couch reading a book

"Oh, recently, she talked about having a child together."

Mom Rylee was so surprised that she dropped the juices which were barely saved by Vince's magic.

"A child? You don't even like to be touched, how will you even have a child?" Mom Rylee asked

"I thought you said babies are born from prayers to the sun and moon gods, why would he needs to touch her?" Vince asked

"We'll tell you the truth when you're older." I answered "As for my previous answer, it was a joke, we haven't thought that far in the future, she has, but we're not at the point where we'll have any proper discussion about topics like those."

"Oh, how many do you want?" Mom Nyra asked "You have 3 women who are around you, one who's a general and you shouldn't even associate with, another is the one we approved, and the third is a woman with sociopathic tendencies."

"It's actually 4, the 5th is still in limbo."

"What!?" they both exclaimed at the same time

Don't look so shellshocked, I'm not a dense romcom protagonist, I get a harem at will and I did it intentionally, not by being oblivious and dense while earning an accidental harem where I will reject everyone while I date the worst girl at the end of the story, sorry romcom protagonists, but unlike you, I'm choosing the true ending, the harem route.

"Big bro, why are you dating so many women?" Vince asked

"I'm dating only 1, Ruka and Lilith don't really count, especially Ruka."

"But she's obviously trying to show off and trying to get your attention in the past few months." he pointed out

"Yeah, and I'm pretending not to notice."

"Wait, you're not getting away with this. 5?! You're 16 for goodness sake." mom Rylee "I've brought home fewer girls than you ever have romantic relations with."

"You brought other girls to your parents?" mom Nyra asked and released an aura scarier than Leilah

Me, Vince, and Buddy knows better and got up to go into my room and enjoy each other's company. I get along well with my little brother, I'm actually grateful to him since my parents are no longer as lonely when I go away.

"Big bro, several days ago, there were these weird people in the village." Vince reported

"Weird how?"

"I've heard they say that they came to spread the prophecy of a god."

"Prophecy?"

"I can't remember exactly what they said, but word for word, it was 'we came to spread the prophecy we got from god'" he replied "I don't know which god they're referring to though."

Huh, no wonder you said God with a lower g in your conversation text, so they got a prophecy, Finn or Phineas wasn't talking out of his ass, but it doesn't make sense, we can't manipulate or see through time, so why would a prophecy exist, even they should have the common knowledge to know that.
