Epic of Summoner: Supreme Summoner System in the Apocalypse - Chapter 263
As I traveled across the skies with Xijun in Azure, inside my divine realm I was spending some leisure time with my family
We had decided to explore more of the vast landscape of the Mainland Continent, so we decided to pack things up and go on a stroll all around the places I wanted to go personally to.
We crossed a large road across the vast grasslands, where we found large villages. Over time, when I as absent, the people built up more villages away from the main one, which became more like a big city.
I guess some people just wanted to have a peaceful life in the countryside instead, planting crops and raising cattle animals/monsters.
I wouldn’t blame them, if I were in their position, I would had done the same, honestly.
The beautiful grasslands were decorated by the large mountains in the background, some of them shone with bright colors as they were filled with glowing bright elemental spirit crystals that were usually extracted every few weeks for research and crafting purposes.
I also used them as fuel for my Mana Factory, so my mana could regenerate faster.
“This is a peaceful sight.” Sighed Kireina.
“Indeed, it does looks pretty…” sighed Anna.
We were walking across a road that led to a nearby village where I had heard they make a good apple pie. We could just make one ourselves, but it was all part of the trip too.
There was the village a bit farther from us, there were some people walking around and inside of it. I even saw a fountain in the middle of it is a small statue of… me?
Indeed, there was a statue of myself there, I had not expected that I could see myself made into a statue…
The statue was also surrounded by flowers, candles, and offerings people left. They’re praying to me as if I were some sort of guardian spirit or holy spirit? Wait, a god, maybe?
That feels kind of weird.
“Pap! Paaapa!”
Francesca flew towards me and pointed out at the distance. There was the statue right in front of us in a few more meters.
“Dada? Dada dada?”
The Little Valentina also asked if that was me.
“Indeed, that’s me… I guess.” I sighed.
“Fufu, doesn’t your father look amazing on it? I think I had sculped it myself… I made so many I don’t remember.” Said Kireina.
“Eh?! You did it?” I asked.
“Indeed! When you were gone for that time, I was in such sorrow I made many statues of you as I missed you, dearie… I knew your body proportions the best, so I constructed a bunch of statues and distributed them around, letting the people use them as their guardian and they suddenly began to pray to them.” Said Kireina.
“T-That’s a bit too much… But I guess it was my fault, sorry for being gone for so long. I promise you I won’t do this again.” I said.
“Ah, well, I can do more now, maybe I could do statues of all of us,” said Kireina.
“Kireina you really shouldn’t…” sighed Anna.
“AHahahaha! Come on, Anna-chan. We can be immortalized in statues and live like that forever!” said Kireina.
“I don’t think I ever will let you die either…” I said.
“Hmm! I just want to do some hobby…” sighed Kireina.
“Ah, well, I never expected sculpture being your hobby.” I said.
“Well, we had long ago gone against our original templates, we are different people than the original templates after all, dearie. I’ve begun to take a big liking on arts… I think I could begin drawing as well…” said Kireina.
I was a bit surprised, but indeed, she had grown farther from her original template as she developed as a person, and that actually made me extremely happy.
“You’re right, I shouldn’t had been so stubborn… I will support you if you want to become an artist, dear.” I said.
“R-Really?” asked Kireina happily.
“Of course! How about you draw a portrait of our two little angels?” I asked.
“Sure! I actually already got the sketches.” Kireina said, showing me the drawings.
“Wow… they really look like them…” I said.
Anna opened her eyes wide open as she saw the drawings of the two girls, they were really identical.
Kireina really draw well.
“Mam! Mam!” said little Fran, pointing at the drawings happily.
“Gooooo!” said Valentina, maybe she was trying to say “good”.
We showed the drawings to Ervas, Vudia, and the rest.
“Wow… This really does looks amazing.” Said Ervas.
“Mama I am terrible at drawing, but you’re so good!” said Vudia.
“You’re not terrible, dearie, you just need some more practice!” said Kireina.
“Really? Will you teach me, mama?” asked Vudia.
“Of course! You’re also my little girl.” Said Kireina, petting Vudia.
“Vuud…” said Fran.
“Diaa!” said Valentina.
The twins were very fond of Vudia, she was like their big sister figure, and loved to spent time with her and play with her.
Now that I see Kireina developing such things, I wonder if Anna, Ervas, Vudia, and others might do the same.
This also reminded me of summoning… I had not done it in a while.
I’ve been doing the daily quests in Azure all this time, and I got almost 300 Orbs.
Perhaps I should do some mass summoning soon.
Though, it would be a hassle to manage all the new units I would get, ugh.
For now, I decided to enjoy the day.
“Oh, visitors… Welcome to Apple Village, we got the best apples of the region.”
A little girl wearing a white dress and a farmer straw hat greeted us.
She rushed at us but suddenly realized who we were, or well, she recognized me from the statue.
“Sir… Y-You are… the hero?! The Hero Summoner, Gustav-sama!” she said.
“Eh? Wait, calm down, don’t raise your voice!” I said, covering the girl’s voice.
“Mmmm! Mmmm!!!” she was freaking out as I covered her mouth like a creep.
