293 The Squabble Between Two Waifus
Currently, me and Guida are seated on the bed, her back is faced against me as if angry.
“My lord, when we had sex I saw all your memories. You haven’t stopped chasing after skirts, right? Okay, fine. I am not stopping you from chasing after them, but that ridiculous amount of wives is just a bit absurd. Heck, they also want to bear babies for you! Even I that has been with you since the beginning don’t have a baby with you because we are always chased down by gods, and getting pregnant will only weaken my abilities,” Guida voices out, her voice etched with pain
“Ah… I don’t know what to say, Guida, but we both know that if you get pregnant for me, you won’t be able to transform into a Weapon and will need to be constantly fed with my aura. What if something happens to me? You’ll perish for life, since getting pregnant doesn’t apply to your immortality, and I don’t want to lose you,” I say, trying to convince Guida.
“Just when are we going to be comfortable, just when do we stop fighting? I…I want to at least enjoy some good time with you, waaaaaaaaaah~~~”

Walking out of old man Duke’s room, my thoughts are filled with the revelation of Excalibur, or rather, Guida, being with me all along. I can’t help but wonder about the implications of her being a spirit weapon and what it means for her to give birth to another. Will her child also be a spirit weapon? It’s a puzzling notion, and since Guida and I have been together from the beginning, I find it hard to wrap my head around such a situation.
Lost in my thoughts, I absentmindedly find myself walking towards Stella’s room instead of Jill’s.
As I approach her room, I sense an unusual energy emanating from within. Pushing the door open, I find Stella sitting on the ground, meditating with her eyes closed. Two long horns, a unique trait of her draugh lineage, emit a strange glow that dances around her horns.
“Master,” she calls out in a low voice, sensing my presence without even opening her eyes.
“I didn’t mean to disturb your meditation,” I say, feeling a tinge of guilt for interrupting her.
Stella opens her eyes, and a serene smile graces her lips. “No disturbance at all, Master. Your presence is always welcome.”
I take a seat beside her, intrigued by the ethereal glow of her horns. “Your power has grown immensely, Stella.”
“I owe much of my growth to your guidance, Master. You’ve been a pillar of support for me.” Stella chuckles softly.
“I may have guided you, but it is your determination and effort that have brought you this far,” I say, acknowledging her hard work and dedication.
Stella’s expression turns serious, and she looks at me with a mix of curiosity and concern. “Master, is something troubling you? I sense a hint of worry in your aura.”
I sigh, realizing that I can’t keep my thoughts entirely to myself. Stella is perceptive, and sensitive to the slightest change of aura.
In the next moment, I remember something I picked up during my previous trip. From my inventory, I retrieve a fist-sized crystal, emanating and glowing with an azure light.
“Stella,” I say, turning my attention to her, “I have something for you.”
Her eyes widen in shock as I show her the crystal. Tears well up in her eyes, and before I know it, she dashes towards me, causing both of us to fall back onto the bed.
“Waaaaaaaaaah, thank you very much, Master,” she exclaims with joy, holding the crystal close to her heart.
I chuckle, hugging her tightly. “You’re welcome, Stella. You’ve been working hard, and I thought you deserved a special gift.”
Still clutching the crystal, she looks up at me with gratitude and happiness. “I will treasure it, Master. Thank you.”
“Sit down and absorb it,” I tell her, gently guiding her back to the floor.
Stella obliges, sitting down in the lotus position, cradling the crystal in her hands. She looks eager to learn how to absorb its power and enhance her abilities further.
“Now, focus your energy on the crystal and let it merge with your aura,” I instruct her.
Closing her eyes, she takes a deep breath, following my guidance.
“Feel the energy flowing from the crystal into your cells,” I continue, my voice soft and encouraging.
Stella nods, her concentration deepening. I watch as her aura begins to glow with the same azure hue as the crystal. The room is filled with a burst of aura, and I can sense the power of the crystal melding with Stella’s innate abilities.
As she absorbs the crystal’s power, I notice a shift in her aura, indicating the successful fusion of energies. Her eyes open slowly, and a radiant smile spreads across her face.
“It worked, Master! I can feel the energy coursing through me,” she says, her excitement palpable.
I smile proudly, knowing that she has taken another step forward in her growth as a draugh. “Well done, Stella. You’re becoming more formidable with each passing day.”

Suddenly, Stella leaps backward upon sensing the sword strapped to my waist. Her movement is swift and graceful, indicating that she has used her ability. Her wide-eyed expression reveals her surprise and fear.
“What… what is that sword, Master?” Stella asks, her voice trembling slightly. “I felt a strong killing intent from it.”
I leak out a sigh, realizing that Stella can sense the power emanating from Excalibur, who is also known as Guida. It’s no surprise that the presence of a spirit weapon like Guida would affect a draugh like Stella, who is sensitive to auras.
“Stella, this is Excalibur, my long-lost companion,” I explain, trying to calm her nerves. “She’s a spirit weapon.”
“Excalibur? She’s a spirit weapon?” Stella repeats, still looking uneasy.
“Yes, but she’s more than just a weapon. She has a spirit of her own,” I reply, knowing that this revelation might be hard for Stella to grasp.
“Guida, reveal your true form,” I call out to Excalibur, wanting Stella to see the woman inside the sword.
In the next moment, the sword begins to disintegrate, transforming into a very beautiful female figure, enveloped in a dark, mysterious miasma.
Stella clenches her fists, looking at Guida with a mixture of awe and jealousy. Seeing this mysterious woman beside me clearly stirs some emotions within her.
“Master, I can also follow you around like this woman!” Stella exclaims, pointing at Guida. “I am stronger than her!”
Guida bares her fangs in response, seemingly taking offense at Stella’s challenge. There’s a playful yet competitive tension between them, and I can’t help but chuckle at the dynamic between the two powerful females.
“Stella, Guida is not just about strength,” I say, trying to ease the atmosphere. “She and I share a deep bond that goes beyond mere power. And so do you and I.”
Stella looks at me, her jealousy slightly subsiding. “Master, I know that. But seeing you with another powerful woman… It’s hard not to feel a little jealous.” Stella mumbles with a pout.
I smile gently, understanding her feelings. “Stella, you hold a special place in my heart. Our bond is unique, and no one can replace you. I love both you and Guida, and I believe in the strengths you both possess.”
Guida’s hostility softens as she listens to our conversation. She knows that Stella is not a threat to our bond, but rather, a member of my family now.
“I don’t want to cause any tension between you two,” I continue, addressing both of them. “We are familues, and each of you has your own role to play in our journey.”
Stella nods, her expression softening. “I understand, Master. I’m sorry for being jealous.”
“It’s alright, Stella,” I say, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. “It’s natural to feel that way sometimes. What matters is that we trust and support each other.”
Guida, with her sharp instincts, senses the sincerity in my words and approaches Stella. She flashes a small smile at her,
“Stella, I’m here to assist and protect my lord just as you are,” Guida says, her voice gentle. “We may be different, but together, we can accomplish great things.”
Stella looks at Guida and nods, finally accepting the presence of this mysterious woman.
“But master…. I also want to follow you around! Now, I am strong, I can no longer be a burden to you, right?” Stella asks, her eyes widening in anticipation.
I can’t help but chuckle at her cuteness.
“Okay, fine, I guess this is the best time to test out your capabilities.”
