I quickly left the druid’s lair with the children. Sirocco hadn’t come back yet, so I couldn’t fly comfortably, but I managed to fly by squeezing out my remaining faith.

That’s why I wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible.

“Wow, it’s fast!”

“Aaaa!”

As it used faith, the efficiency was overwhelmingly lower than flying on the wind created by Sirocco, but the driving force was great.

Flying at a speed that seemed to defy the laws of physics, it was easy to reach Arzen’s Lair.

“Whoa… Guys, everyone is here. It’s home.”

“Wow! Dad, you’re so fast!”

“Yes, Asha. It was fast… but late.”

It was before the sun set, but I was late returning home due to an unexpected incident that occurred.

I thought it would be a good idea to first understand Arjen’s condition and decide whether to talk about it or not.

“Mom~!”

“Mom!”

He is an example of a bad father who blames his children first when they have done something wrong. But it was something that could not be helped.

“Asha! Adele!”

Arjen comes out in a hurry and hugs the children running towards him. Fortunately, he was smiling brightly when he saw the children.

“I’ve been there, Arzen.”

“Woo~! You’re too late, Eugene! Much more than I said!”

“Sorry. The weather outside felt nice so I took a nap.”

“Wasn’t it dangerous to sleep outside?”

“Huh?”

Thieves say their feet are numb. I overreact to things that are just said out of concern.

Of course, I couldn’t hide such a serious problem, so I spoke calmly.

“Actually, something dangerous happened……”

“What’s going on?”

As Arjen tried to start a conversation, Orha and Wayne also showed up after work.

“That means…”

I explained something about druids. At first, no one seemed to believe it, but after the explanation was finished, a calm atmosphere formed.

In the first place, we were in a relationship where we could see through each other’s lies, so there wouldn’t have been a single reason not to believe it, but it was probably proof that we didn’t want to believe it to that extent.

“…….”

“…….”

At the silence that fell in the audience, I spontaneously apologized.

“Sorry.”

“No, no….”

What does it mean? For something he said simply to protect me, Arjen’s face was full of charm.

“Druids… I didn’t know they existed, but they really do exist.”

Wayne muttered with a dumbfounded look on his face. Looking at that reaction, I could see that Druids were not recognized by the public.

Well, when you hear the word ‘natural power’, you naturally think of spirits, but it’s something I’ve never heard of before, even though I’ve lived here for a long time.

“I don’t think what’s important right now is whether Druids are real or not…”

Orha muttered quietly. Her expression was also stiff, and since she had become integrated with Arjen, she seemed to be just as angry about this incident as Arjen.

“Well, that’s not important.”

As expected, Arjen agreed with Orha’s words.

“The important thing is that you dared to touch my Eugene and the children.”

“No… he didn’t touch me, he was so angry that I kidnapped my children that he attacked me…”

“Dare! my! With Eugene! Children! I touched you!”

Overwhelmed by Arjen’s spirit as he spoke each word clearly and clearly, I quietly kept my mouth shut.

“……Eujin.”

“Uh, huh?”

“Where is it?”

Many questions were omitted, but the intention was clear.

“Why, why?”

“Get rid of it.”

” Lee, let’s calm down for now. Argen.”

Of course, it wasn’t that I didn’t understand. I went there with the intention of killing everyone, even just me.

However, in the end, the children were safe, and it was taken into account that there was a problem with the method and that the intention itself was not evil.

Temporarily incapacitating Sirocco at will was replaced with taking the children and giving them a foot massage instead of forcing them to take on a responsibility without pleasure.

In this situation, it didn’t seem right to visit them.

I don’t think it’s excessive treatment. If it were Earth, there would be no problems like private ownership sanctions here.

Isn’t there anyone who would object to the idea that kidnapping the dragon’s children at will was an act implicitly done with the risk of death?

However, the reason I am stopping Arjen now is because of what I said to the druids.

He said it was a preconceived notion that Asha and Adele would become as vicious as Arjen, and he boasted about it and even made her get pregnant at will, but what if Arjen himself goes to visit and starts abusing them?

It couldn’t have been anything but embarrassing.

In the past, people would not have cared about things like face at all, but since they became gods, face has become important in terms of managing their faith.

“Don’t worry, I left everything behind.”

“Really? Have you already killed them all?”

“Uh… Well, in some cases, it might be worse than dying, right?”

They added sex reassignment and pregnancy. I think it would probably be humiliating enough to kill me.

Of course, considering their reactions at the end, I’m sure it’s not just those who dislike them.

“Ugh… If Eugene says that… I can’t help but feel angry though.”

Arjen suddenly ran out of the lair. After a while, a series of loud booms rang out.

“What is happening?”

“…Let’s let the stress go.”

One of the good things about green land is that it is an ecosystem with strong vitality that naturally recovers again in a short time even if left open.

“But you managed to find the Druid’s stronghold? They were so unknown that it was not even clear whether they existed or not.”

“I completely lost all my faith. That’s also why they survived.”

If he had arrived there full of faith, he might have started by killing just about anyone.

“I heard there was no Sirocco? How did you deal with it? As far as I know, Druids are said to use very powerful and amazing magic.”

“Just strike with both hands and feet.”

I showed off my bluff by performing a series of jabs and high kicks into the air.

“Wow, it’s pretty authentic, isn’t it?”

“Even if he looks like this, he has learned some fighting skills.”

Of course, since I quit when I was in middle school, most of my credit was actually due to my physical ability to build faith, but I didn’t say it.

“Wait a minute! Eugene!”

Orha suddenly calls me.

“What, what’s going on?”

“Arjen is later than expected. Shall we sleep first?”

“…….”

“…….”

Orha, a saint who lived a life of chastity, boasted a boiling sexual desire like a colt let loose of the reins.

Of course I don’t hate it, but since I have children now, I hope they can tolerate it.

“I’m going to sleep with the kids today.”

“No way!”

After Asha and Adele were born, I was able to secure my own means of avoidance. Just one simple word about sleeping with the children was enough to calm both Arjen and Orha.

However, it was not a tool that could be used every day because it gave absurd reasons that children would become less independent if they slept with mom and dad too often.

Anyway, today I had some things to think about regarding druids, so I decided to sleep away from Arjen and Orha.

“…….”

After playing with Asha and Adele until they were exhausted, I put the kids to bed and looked at the rare ceiling, lost in thought.

“It has definitely increased.”

It was a story about faith. I had clearly used up most of the faith I had gathered from humans and dwarves earlier, but after returning to Lair, it felt like the speed at which my faith was restored had accelerated dramatically.

It’s not that there aren’t parts that can be guessed. No, rather, there was only one.

“Druid, you crazy bastards….”

It seemed that the reactions of those who were beyond thrilled just before leaving were not in vain.

For a people who reverence the providence of nature, there was no distinction between men and women, so I was a little curious about how they reproduced, but it seemed like they were truly unable to leave behind descendants.

In that situation, I transformed most of them into the bodies of pregnant women without any warning, so it was quite a shock to them.

And that shock was converted into faith and gradually accumulated in me.

Unintentionally, he was worshiped by the Druids and was able to develop his faith.

In fact, this kind of surprise worship should be accepted happily, but it still felt a bit uncomfortable.

It may not be that they actually have that tendency, but if you look at the result, they are taking on the faith of those who are happy to turn into women.

I heard that faith strongly reflects the thoughts of those who offer it, but I had a vague fear that if I accepted their faith as if it was good, I would also be degenerated into the same tendency.

“……That’s it, that’s it.”

And the worst thing is that I do not have enough faith to be able to cover all of these things one by one.

Not only was my faith almost depleted today, but it was also the case that I was dealing with Akasha, whom I might meet again in the future. No matter how much faith I have now, it is a regrettable situation.

“I have to do my duty.”

The most efficient way to earn faith is to give what you want to those who want it from you.

The druids witnessed a miracle happen to their bodies today, and the dwarves continue to create and develop alcohol using the knowledge I gave them.

In other words, many beliefs were being created in real time.

What remains are humans. Humans know me as the god of conception, which is actually my identity.

For the time being, a plan was made to prevent something like today from happening by supplying more faith from humans.
