On the Way Home I Got a Bride and Twin Daughters, Who Were Dragons Chapter 82

“Oh, there really was a rat sage.”

Yuri-san, who was holding Jaja, looked at Alba curiously.

“Yo, I'm that Alba Germain whose name is engraved in those legends, but it seems that recently my name has not been well-known.”

“Yes, I didn't even know the name. I'm very honored to meet the wise man who was the hero's guide.”

Yuri-san lowered her head deeply.

Jaja stared at such a Yuri-san curiously.

“You were such an important person?”

I know that a rat sage appears in the legends beastmen pass down.

But I don't know what it is about.

According to Officer Doggy, it seems to be a kind of lore heard from adults when they were young.

“Well, about 3000 years ago, everyone lowered their heads and respected me. Those were good days.”

“What did you do?”

“I didn't do anything important. I just brought the long war to a finish and brought together the warriors of each beastmen tribe.”

“Wars? Beastmen warriors?”

I can't imagine it.

Nowadays, the beastmen more or less have some discord and territorial disputes, but they can coexist well as ordinary people.

So war, huh.

Well, certainly.

Even humans have not yet been able to overcome racial differences.

As someone who lives carefree in the current, peaceful world, I can't even imagine what the people who lived during the war thought and felt.

So in the past, the beastmen really had conflict, huh.

Three thousand years ago, that's old history that is hard to learn even in classes.

Especially from the other world. The history of the world of beastmen contains a lot of uncertain parts.

The reason is because there are too many different beastmen tribes. As a result, there was numerous literature passed down with their own points of views.

Speaking of what I learned in class, for example, literature related to the downfall of a certain dynasty.

There were many differences in the contents between the literature written from the perspective of the party who fell fallen and the literature written from the perspective of the invading enemy.

There are books that consider a ruined country evil, while others claim that the invading enemy was nonexistent, and there were even neighboring countries that spoke of completely different stories.

Because there are many different races of human beings, there are various kinds of beastsmen.

There are so many kinds of besatmen that the numbers cannot be accurately determined.

There were so many countries, big and small, that isn't comparable to our world.

Take people from the cat tribe like Saeki Ichika and Koji for example.

They are short-haired calico cats. They are one of the most common types of cats in the cat tribe, with mottled hair and body hair.

However, they never formed a community with other cat tribes.

It's like the Sengoku period in Japan.

On a terribly small land, cats but of different races claimed their own territories, so the quarrels never ended.

Same as the cast, there were different races among dogs and birds, and there was still wars between cats and dogs and birds. I don't get it anymore.

If this conflict frequently occurs on the same island, within the continent, and even between continents, or more specifically, all over the world, the past literature will easily get lost.

Ironically enough, what solved this was the world clash, humans.

We humans, for better or worse, love development.

One might say that one of our traits is that for profit, loss, and survival, we can even shake hands with someone we hate with a smile.

A catastrophic disaster that occurred suddenly.

Surging damages and loss.

In the wake of the unknown beastmen, demons, and magic, and the world's unprecedented crisis, many humans extended a helping hand.

The human community was dozens of times larger than the largest of the beastmen communities. In the overwhelming number of human eyes, the beastmen would have appeared to be complete victims.

The beastmen, with their existences, under threat, had no choice and took their hands and began the first large-scale “coexistence”, led by humans.

That was the current history of humans and beastmen.

Yes, that was a second-hand telling of the textbooks.

It is my knowledge that I studied for the high school entrance examination.

There was something else mentioned, but I'm an idiot so that was the best I could do.

There also seems to be the reason why the beastmen's civilization did not flourish as much as humans. It seems that the beastmen tribes were too small to transfer or share knowledge and technology.

The only magic technology that has developed is one that basically only demons can use, and only the techniques passed down from the demons have been improved, the other fields have been neglected.

For someone with bad grades, this interpretation is my limit. I leave the details to historians.

“You're too humble, if you were not there, then us beastmen might still have been at war. I thank you on behalf of our ancestors.”

Yuri-san once again bowed politely.

“Aah! Honor and respect me more! Because I was preoccupied with the dragons, I couldn't use my authority at all. What a waste.”

How vulgar after being called a sage, I'm going to vomit.

“Dah”

Nana, crawling on all fours, looked up at me, and called out.

“For now, I want to get down, can you lend me a hand?”

“Yes, please just wait a minute, okay?”

Yuri-san set Jaja down next to Nana, and reached her hand out to me.

I grabbed her hand and gently kicked the ceiling.

“Hup”

My body floated without any resistance.

“Wow, it's so light. It feels so weird.”

Yuri-san pulled me with a forceful single motion.

I was taller and of course heavier.

However, Yuri-san easily pulled my body with only one hand.

With the other hand on Yuri-san's shoulder, I finally returned to the ground.

It was very difficult to keep balance and it was a pain just to stand on both feet.

Yuri-san was unable to watch me tottering dangerously so she drew me closer with even more strength.

“Yes, are you okay?”

“Yes, thank you, ha ha.”

I was hugged by a senior.

Yuri-san held her arms firmly around my waist so that I won't float up again.

Hmmm, this is embarrassing.

“Well then, what are you going to do now?”

I looked at Alba who was by my feet.

“That is a first time even for me. I wasn't expecting things to happen so quickly, even though I had imagined it. As expected, the twins are growing faster than I expected.”

Alba looked at Jaja and Nana gently and emotionally.

Certainly, I think their physical growth was quite fast.

Anyway, they could already hold their heads up when they just hatched from the eggs.

Flying was early, as well as sitting.

At this pace they're going to be calling me papa soon.

“So, from now on, let's deal with it while verifying my hypothesis.”

“Verification, huh.”

I wonder what it is, but it feels like they're lab rats.

At present, we have to hear what this rat says.

“Let's start by looking at the spirits and confirming them.”

“Spirit?”

I looked at Jaja who planted her butt on the ground and was looking up at me.

“Yes, the green spirit. You saw it before, right?”

Alba delightfully told me.
