Chapter 361 Search (5)
"Come on, say it: gran-d-pa," Billy said.
"Gram… Pa…" Christina said.
"Hehehe, amazing, right?" Billy said.
"Yes, it is indeed amazing…" Edward said with a loose smile on his face, but then he got serious again. "Still, why did you come with the kids alone? You should have brought my daughter as well."
"They are busy working," Billy said. "As expected of my kids, they are only one year old and they can even call their grandparents."
"I believe that my daughter and Natalie also contributed a lot in giving birth and raising such smart kids…" Edward said while frowning.
Once Christina and Hector managed to call their grandparents, Billy headed to his hometown to brag to his parents. After that, he visited Edward and Lucy, who were currently looking after Hector after being called grandma… Although she was supposed to be working today, she asked for that, she sure changed a lot. Still, that was only natural. Billy knew that parents that are usually harsh to their kids, usually melt before the cuteness of their grandkids. Christina's laugh was too sweet, and Hector's blank expression was also something that most people would find cute.
"You sure have a lot of time in your hands, huh," Edward said.
"I still work in the dungeon while the kids are taking their afternoon nap," Billy said. "With those working away, I decided to look after them as much as possible. Besides, you can say that my job is being a cool father."
"I am amazed that you can say that with a straight face… It is kind amazing that such a slacker won that tournament," Edward said. "Speaking of that, you siblings had been very quiet lately."
"Quiet? How so?" Billy frowned.
"Well, they challenged a lot of people for duels and sparring matches after the tournament, but they stopped with that lately," Edward replied. "They even weren't asking to go to the nearest dungeon anymore."
That was indeed concerning… Billy wondered if his advice was the cause of that. Were they trying to be mature by not doing anything recklessly? Still, changing their lifestyle so much probably wasn't a good idea… Come to think of it, the twins weren't at home when he was there. According to Camilla, they went to train somewhere. Unfortunately, it was about time to head home, so Billy will have to talk with them later.
After returning home, Billy put his kids to sleep and then went to grab his wives from work. That daily routine was a bit weird, but Billy had gotten used to it. To break the monotony, Billy received a letter from Rosalie, and Jean showed up at his home with a copy of that same letter.
"Have you read it?" Jean asked.
"It seems that the people of Tersaris state want to buy a massive amount of pills… For some reason, they want all kinds and Rosalie thinks I am the only who can help them with that," Billy said.
"You don't have fruits aside from the Edish ones, I will sent some people to collect them and bring them to you," Jean said.
"That will help… Still, are you that interested in becoming allies with them?" Billy asked.
"The more friends, the better," Jean said. "Thanks to their location, we can't say if they are already fighting the people of that other state, so they might share more information with us if we give them a hand."
That made sense, but Billy was more interested as to why they were asking for the three types of pills… Just the Edish ones would be better for them. In any case, as long as they can deal with the problem, Billy won't have to move, so he will help them as much as possible. He was also making some money from it, so it was fine. Also, even if their enemies were the summoned monsters of a reincarnated person like Billy, it didn't mean that ordinary humans wouldn't stand a chance. There is strength in numbers, after all.
On the next day, Billy received the fruits and began to work. Since he still had to look after his kids, he started early in the morning but soon took a break and resumed when they were taking their naps. Despite that, he still sent hundreds of those on the very first day.
"Are you are that this is enough?" Kate asked when he saw Billy working.
"What do you mean?" Billy asked.
"Someone trying to expand their territories using war after this long… That is never a good sign," Kate said. "We are bound to get involved sooner or later, shouldn't we just intervene before that escalates?"
"We are already intervening, besides, we don't know for sure if things will escalate," Billy explained. "It seems that the states were constantly at war three hundred years ago, but they stopped more than a little bit over the years. You can say that conflict is part of out history and human nature, we can't just try to stop all those conflicts, when they are just starting."
"Where did you hear that?" Kate asked.
"In a book… You should study more as well," Billy replied and then frowned.
"I am done with staying cooped on a single place," Kate said while recalling the days when she was sick and couldn't do anything aside from staying on a bed.
Billy could understand where she was coming from, but she still was being too radical about that. It is important to be literate, and in times like that, it is hard to learn things accurately just by hearing from someone else. Putting that aside, it seemed that Kate had developed some kind of instinct to fight troublemakers. She lost many students due to Jeannette's actions, after all. Her new ones probably will end up getting involved in future conflicts as well. Still, Billy wanted to make sure that his family and friends would stay away as much as possible from other reincarnated individuals… for many reasons.
