446 Waiting To Grow Up
“So this is Sophie!” Adel was already fluffing Sophie’s tail. Unlike before, though, Sophie let Adel do as she pleaded.
“She will be living with me from now on, so you can see her whenever you want,” I said as I watched Adel from the side.
“Oh? Is Faith jealous?” Adel asked teasingly. The girl was the same age as me but was being taught bad things by the people around her. But seeing her teasing smile reminded me of the old days in the previous timeline. I stuck my tongue out, which caused her to giggle and dive into my stomach, hugging me. “Don’t worry. My promise still stands. When we are old enough.”
I chuckled and rubbed the top of her head. This small action alone was enough to cause the girl to fall asleep. Sophie had a gentle smile on her face as she looked at Adel. “She never changes.”
“Adel is Adel. We were destined to be together no matter what. That was why I got insurance just now. When we are old enough, I will marry both of you. Not later like before, but early. I will not make either of you wait.” I could see Adel’s eyebrow twitch just now, which made me smile. The damn girl was faking it. I picked her up into my arms and carried her onto the bed so she could really fall asleep. Sophie curled up next to me as I laid my head back and closed my eyes. It felt like when we were kids in our past life, the three of us sharing the same bed. Only having each other to be our true selves around. I just hope things will stay as they should for the time being.

As the years passed, Sophie, Adel, and I all grew closer together and were basically a single unit now. We shared all our worries and woes like we always have in the past timeline. Atollie watched over us like a mother watching her babies grow. She really had a motherly aura now. I have been leveling the girls up as much as possible. Both girls are now at level 20.
It took a while since I could only kill so many monsters before they went extinct. But that will change today. That is because today, the invasion will happen. But this time, I will not let the Norian Kingdom even cross the border. “You are going?” Sophie asked as she felt me get up.

“Be careful…. Things have changed. So you need to be more careful when you are out.” Sophie was probably worried that I would. End up fighting some powerful being once again. But well, even if I do, Atollie will be there with me this time around.
I nodded and leaned over, and kissed her cheek. “Don’t worry. I will make sure to end this quickly and let you and Adel soak up the juicy experience points.”
“You and your experience points!” Sophie chuckled before hugging me. She slowly let me go, allowing me to leave the room. With Atollie following me, my parents said nothing about me flying off into the distance. They seemed to have gotten used to the new and current me. I guess after eleven years, it was bound to happen. Luckily there has been no change in my mother’s mentality. This has worried me for a while now. Atollie has also been checking on her as well.
I flew out to the border of the kingdom to see the massive army lining up on three fronts. “It’s the same as before….”
“How will you deal with them?” Atollie asked.
“Well, I can’t act like I am part of the kingdom so…. Dragon form it is….” I have not used this form in so long. I closed my eyes and began feeling my body expanding and changing. Before long, I was in my most bestest form!
“Roar!!!!!” I let out a mighty roar which caused the soldiers below to begin to panic. I grinned a huge toothy grin as I flew over the Norian army, took a deep breath, and let my flames flow. In a matter of seconds, I roasted the army they sent to the border before flying off in a random direction away from the Gravos Kingdom, so it looked like some dragon suddenly appeared and got mad due to a bunch of humans gathering. Sorry my dragon friends, but I will make you the enemy of the Norian Kingdom for the time being.
As I looked down at my mass destruction, I wondered if I had changed the timeline by a lot or not. I slowly transform back into my human form and look at Atollie. “Have I done this before?”
Atollie shook her head. “No… You have either hid or fought on the lands of the kingdom.”
“I guess we can only hope this was the trigger then….” I sighed as I held Atollie’s hand and disappeared. We reappeared in my bedroom, where Sophie was staring off into space. “Faith!”
“How was it? Lots of experience?” I asked with a smile.
“Umm… you just gave me over thirty levels! I am not level 50!” Sophie replied with a bright smile. It was good that her level did rise.
“Then we just wait. I will be turning twelve soon, and as the king promised and from what Adel is telling me, she will be leaving the capital soon to come to get us. We will then venture to the capital together after I turn twelve years old. But Adel plans to spend some time here to see where I live first. We will just need to wait for the enrollment test after we reach the capital.”
