When the first 2 gods descended, they fell in love at first sight, and the moon god created several roses to gift to the sun god as a sign of his affection.

Those same roses were then passed down to their descendants, mortals, to take care of them.
Roses are usually red, but the first roses exist in different colors, and whenever a mortal pluck one of the original roses, they are blessed with unimaginable power.

A few of the roses have been found, and several others are waiting for their chosen one, but one, in particular, has never even been spotted, the black rose.

Re: The Last Rose

I can't believe that these dorks actually made me chief against my will. I hate this village. I said I don't want to. Luckily, they said I'll only have to do the military side of things, and even then, I got people to work for me when it's not in times of emergencies, so I at least get to stay home and slack off.

Though hearing people calling me by title is annoying.

I can actually even intervene in the village's politics and stuff if I really want to. They even said that if I actually do a good job, they'll remove the title in 5 years instead of making it last like 20-50, so I might have to come for work, which sucks.

But I can't do anything yet, because Maple and Leilah are pregnant.

"...guys, I know you guys love him, but your daddy is mine!" Leilah proclaimed to the kids as she then held me tightly

"Are you seriously trying to fight with the kids?" Lilith asked

"Well, they need to know who he belongs to."

"But Dad promised that he'll come help me train today." Orion insisted

Orion definitely calmed down a lot ever since he got younger siblings, it sort of activated his overprotectiveness and he's no longer as playful as before as he plans to become the strongest watcher in the history of our village in order to protect everyone.

We then offered him the option of training in either archery or other weapons in the future, with a bit of Lilith's convincing, he chose the bow, though for now, we're just training his physical body with runs and other activities.

"But Dad promised to take us to the dessert cafe!" Jazz exclaimed with Lily nodding alongside her

"And your dad promised to have a date with me today. So he's mine." Leilah declared

My plan was to take the eldest 3, train and go to the cafe on our way back, then go on the date. I even had Rosa help make the reservation for me already, but it seems that everyone wanted it to happen at the same time.

"Why don't we all just do every activity together?"

"I'll give you a proper date later...Lilith, wanna join?"

"Mom, why do you and the other moms always fight over dad?" Luca asked

"That's because there's only one of him, sharing him is a bit difficult at times, but we still all love each other very much."

Even though Dawn is my mom, we all agreed with the sister story for the kids to not overcomplicate things, they'll know when they're older, but for now, this is good enough.

"You fight for Dad too?" he asked cutely

"Of course, there's only one of him, and when I'm clingy while the others are having him, I would try to get him for myself."

"What about this morning, the others were trying to get him, why didn't you?"

"Because I'm watching over the rest of you."

"Will I get a new brother or sister?"

"Can I wish for both? Mom Leilah is pregnant too."

"Can we go to pray for my wish to come true later at the shrine?"

"Of course, maybe tomorrow since we're all going to eat out and we can visit the shrine on the way."
