The Time When Me And My Family Went To Other World

I wake up early in the morning of the next day, I felt better than yesterday, while I was almost passing out. As I am waking up, I look around and can't seem to find where is my wife, she must have awoken earlier than me.

As I look for her I hear so little noises around...

"Bow... Wow.."

I look around to find the source of that cute yipping. As I look around there is something different in the corner of the room, there is come pile of sheets in the corner. It starts to struggle around, is there something there? As I approach, a small and cute puppy head gets out of the blankets!

"Auw, auw, auw!" it yips at me.

"Hello, little guy, you are already yipping at me, huh?" I said as I stretched my hand and suddenly I feel the Seal in my heart, this is the one I made the Pact with, I grab him and he starts snuggling to my hand.

"Well, you are going to need a name, right?" I said "But first, let's find your brothers" I start to examine the lil fella. It has black fur as it's parents, some white spots on its c.h.e.s.t and paws, its eyes were kind of honey colored, it is a female as well.

As I go towards the kitchen, I suddenly find my lovely wife with two other puppies in her heels, while she making breakfast!

She is making some stew and there is a new loaf of bread in the table, it is steaming as well.

"Good morning, darling! You finally woke up!" my lovely wife greets me with a wonderful smile, my heart can't take this "Now let's sit a bit and you should explain to me what happened yesterday, Master Hyu left this place without explaining how you got three puppies in your arms or why you had to cast spells till you pass out." She has that smile that wasn't smiling at all on her face, the puppy I was holding also got a little scared, while the other two where confused. I hang my head lower and ask for forgiveness "I am sorry, babe! I will explain!" she proceeds to take the stew of the stove, put on the table over a plate and pick up both of the lil fellas that were playing on close to her and sits on the table.

I sat at her side and we put all three puppies close to each other on the table holding them together with our arms.

"What happened was the following, Ti'oh brought me to train again close to the river in the evening." I started explaining "And he showed me how to use Ki Tempering with a Sword and a Shield, I felt like that was the right method, I found my thing to do!" I said while looking excited at her "I was on a roll and the heat wasn't even close to bother me this time, I was way forward in executions, I called Ti'oh to say that to him, but for some reason what greets me at that time was a mouth full of teeth, I manage to block and strike back a little to gain some space and suddenly I was tackled from behind by another beast, it gets on top of me trying to bite my neck, but I could defend and pierce its belly, saving myself, but as soon as I try to get up, there was the first one biting towards my right arm, panicking I made a strike at the temple of the other beast, since it fell I put it on the side and unlike the first I used Examination to see if it was alive, then I found her bulging belly, but... I needed... to save... the poor things..." 'sniff' "It was really scary... and nobody's fault... but... couldn't let them go... it was for their survival... So I cut open the tip of the belly and three puppies roll out from it I saved two and Ti'oh saved the other... Why I saved them... I just... don't know why... there was life there and I reached towards it..." 'sniff' "and I was panicking even inside the house and just did what Ti'oh asked to save them" I say "and made them our Companion Beasts with the spell he teaches me yesterday..." I finish and gulp some breaths of air to calm down, reviving those intense moments where my life was on line and I did stupid things after that was still scary "Huff... Huff..." then my wife embraces me.

"Amatiron, my husband, you survived for our family and, you made their family survive, which I am sure was the wishes of its parents." she said with the most soothing voice ever "Their parents are gonna be proud of them, since they will be stronger and smarter than they ever were and won't have to worry about food and where to live."

"Thanks..." I said as I regain my calm and I see that the three puppies where still sleeping.

"Let's eat, all right?" she finishes and open the casserole with the stew and cuts open the bread, suddenly the three lil fellas wake up and start whimpering towards the stew.

We put some on our plates and set aside some of them for the puppies use only, we put them back on the floor and put the plate with some stew for each of them. All three of them can eat really fast, hahahhahahahaha, at least it means they are healthy.

After breakfast was done, we finish the clean up and I take the puppies out to see if they want to take a leak or something.

They are the size of a two month old husky puppy for some reason, so they can walk quite well around and are very playful, the one I contracted with was the most quiet of the three, the other two were males, one had the whole body black and blue eyes and the other had the whole body dark gray and yellow eyes, Nordya said the one she contracted with was the completely black one, I look at the door and I think I should make some kind of hole so they can come and go out to do their needs.

If I am not mistaken there were some tools on the shed, I will come back later and ask around about it, but first since it is Yggdrasil Day, Nordya needs to take her lessons on sewing with Mr. Guido, so after breakfast we go toward his atelier and Mr. Guido is wearing a dress with a light blue color for some reason it looks really silly on him.

""Good morning, Mr. Guido" we both say at the same time.

"Morning, sweeties, now take up your sewing kit from the countertop and chop chop!" he said while leaving, Nordya was at his heels and on her heels were two cute puppies.

I take mine on my hands and bring it to Granny's house, to ask how to take care of it, since probably it will fall on my stead, since I am freer than my wife in the schedule... What luck!

I reach Granny's and knock on the door, waiting to be received by anyone.

This time Grandpa Doh opens the door and asks for me to go towards the living room this time.

"Well, since you aren't here for any lessons and it's late for breakfast I will ask for you to wait in the living room, Rir is talking with Father-in-law." he said with a tinge of worry on his voice. I pray for your soul to not be vengeful towards me Ti'oh.

While I was praying I hear a loud voice:

"Have you lost your mind!" and "What if he died?", also "Are you really repenting?"

I am sorry Ti'oh I also am weak against Granny.

I look towards Grandpa and ask.

"Isn't this enough? Should I get between them? Ti'oh seems to be suffering a lot already" he nods his head denying and motion for me to seat.

Soon after, there is a smiling Granny and downer Ti'oh leaving the kitchen. Hurray! He is alive.

"Hello, sweetheart, I am sorry for what my father has done towards your training" she apologized "It seems his old habits of training like the soldiers came back to him since you still wasn't at the Tier of Amateur Warrior. He had this habit of throwing young cadets against monsters so they would improve quickly, but most of times they would be scared for their lives and run away." she said.

"Well, even if I wanted to run I wouldn't be able too, since there were two Black Wolves trying to make me their meal..." I said with a pause "I was ambushed and panicked a lot that I ended up killing both of them, even if could have just scared them away..." I look downward a little depressed at the lil fella I was hugging "Since it was pregnant and trying to feed herself something for its children." I said and after a pause "And that is why I came here, to know how to take care of them, since they are our Companion Beasts." This time I said it resolutely.

Granny looked at me kind of amazed for a little while and then returned to normal and she made a smile, me and the puppy kind of got confused together.

"You are way tougher than I thought you would be, that is really good, I am glad the little Sprite has resolute and kind person in her life" she said "Now talk to my stupid father about what you came here for." she left seemingly satisfied.

"All right, then..." Ti'oh said "What do you want to know?"

"I want to know more about Companion Beasts and what kind of beast is this one." I bring the puppy to his attention "and happened yesterday after I fell asleep."

"Companion Beasts are a way to domesticate wild animals, by using a spell. It is a master and servant relationship, albeit a not so tight and strict one, if any of you dies the other party will be free, but it limits aggression towards both, still the master is less punished." he said "The seal serves the purpose of draining the master Mana to the servant beast, thus developing the beast further than it would be ever be able to normally, since they are living beings they also have blessings, albeit most of the time are just one of the minor ones, but they can progress as we can. The trade-off for the Mana Pool you have to assign to your beast is that part of its strength, a.k.a stats, are transfered permanently to the master and if there is any Special Ability, since they can't have Skills of Trade, the master will also have access to it and be able to use too." he stopped explaining and took a drink that Granny just left for us. "Ahhhh... That hit the spot. So what was the other thing you wanted to know?" he asked me.

"What kind of beast this is? What is their species name?" I asked again.

"This is a common one, it is a Black Dog, some have spots or different colors, but are always called Black Dog, since the Mana can mutate them very much. They always go around with at least a pair and at most a group of five. Weakest beast in this forest and grow up very quickly, at least one month to a.d.u.l.t size, bulking up to about six months old " Ti'oh finished explaining and took another sip.

"And why did I pass out yesterday? What happened? Is everything okay with me?"

"That was a Mana Exhaustion, it can happen when you bottom your Mana Pool, no side effects happen. I took the beasts to the Outpost and your wife took care of you, that is all." he said "Now your training will be in the evening from now on and once a week we are going to the forest to find game, today you get a rest day, since you overdid yourself"

"Okay... Is Ti'oh alright?" I asked about the shouting and how he was feeling.

"Yes, I am fine, she was right... I got overexcited from having a disciple for the first time, which made me do stupid things." he said "You are going to learn sword skills then?"

"Yes, Ti'oh! Yesterday I felt amazing while doing the Ki Tempering, I felt that I could go further than with just the barehanded method" I said excited about the discovery "It was like I was invincible while doing the Tempering."

"Gahahahaha. Next month I shall teach you how to activate the Ki that gather in your body, so you don't need to do the Forma for practice all the time, your body will try to bring it in with just the activation " he said feeling a little better now "and it won't be like yesterday, next time we will be a team and watch each other back when going into the forest." he said making me feel a lot better.

I needed to go and let the little one at the house. Since today I need to make some small renovations!
