Foolish Life

Happiness

Roku forgot he was not good at cooking. Also, the ingredients were different. Once he tried to cook the same thing in the previous world using the same ingredients it tasted lukeworm.

However, Ilisha still tastes it, drinking it like water.

"Ilisha...?"

Roku gained confidence, and strength to make his skills better in cooking.

"Ilisha, tell me if this is bad or good, okay?"

"Yes, Papa." Ilisha became a taste tester. Fortunately, she was a straightforward daughter, spitting the fact.

Another hour passed, and finally, Roku got the taste of Sayasha's cooking not completely same but the taste near.

"Then, I will..."

"No! Ilisha, stay here and prepare our dinner, okay?"

Roku is about to leave to wake Sayasha but she's already behind them.

"Let's eat." Sayasha requested and she helped Ilisha place the plate on a table. When everything is set, a small pray they offer and eat together.

Roku and Sayasha just listened to Ilisha's story, her time for the day. Playing to the fullest with fairies, and some training with them.

Half an hour filled with smiles as they ate. Roku felt he became closer to Ilisha and Sayasha. Found out that they were not human but that was not bothering him at all. As long as they accept him as part, no! As the wall of family, he is satisfied.

Washing for minutes, bathing for minutes, changing clothes for minutes.

"Are you happy, Ilisha?"

"Hm! Thanks, Papa, Mama." Ilisha kisses their cheeks, holding their hands.

Just like Roku said, Ilisha should sleep with him and to her Mother tonight for Ilisha's punishment. And now she's already lying between Roku and Ilisha.

The time Ilisha closed her eyes, she fell asleep right away which made Roku switch his gaze into glittering eyes.

"Are you happy, Sayasha?"

Sayasha just near her lips, closing her eyes. "This is what I'm dreaming..."

She sleeps for almost 24 hours. But right now, fall asleep too.

"Me too."

But Roku couldn't sleep at all, he just stared at Sayasha's face until the floating letters, system appeared in his sight.

"Family protector, huh?"

Roku found the list of his skills in the left corner of the system. Family protector, just like the name is the guardian of the family and the shield.

"Roku....."

"Papa....."

Roku feels Sayasha's lips, gently caressing Ilisha's back of her hand. Seem they having the same nightmare, calling Roku's name for help.

After staying three hours, staring at Sayasha's face, Roku finally fell asleep. Even though his eyes are closed, he can still see Sayasha's sleeping face, overtaking his mind.

But he got the most relaxing sleep in his entire life.

"Roku?" At this moment, Roku is already awake.

"Sayasha, I love you."

"I-I know..."

The blushing face of Sayasha in the early morning and the sleepy face of Ilisha. Roku already sees the real life. He still can't believe he was living in the dream.

"Krinia!" All of a sudden, Ilisha got up, shouting.

She looks around, scanning the place. "I'm...." Ilisha goes back into her sleep again.

Sayasha got up first to prepare for breakfast and Roku stayed for minutes to wait for Ilisha.

It's his third day but they are already family.

Time and time keep running. Roku repeat the same thing he was doing. Waking early to help Sayasha prepare breakfast. Accompany her, picking herbs, learning how to turn the herbs they pick into tea.

At night, there's a time they make love. The pleasures they keep looking, wanting to feel only happen at night. And when Ilisha sleeps with them.

They rest and sleep as a family.

One month passed. In one month of Roku's stay, he learned what he needed to learn.

The biggest forest in this world, Senisha, is where Sayasha staying. Roku found out, that Sayasha is like the goddess, protector of the forest to intruders.

They called her a goddess because she was driving the enemy and anyone tried to invade the forest.

That was what he heard from talking monsters in the forest. But the truth was he didn't try to ask what kind of person, or creature Sayasha. Roku just continues living with them.

In his month of living, Roku learned a type of skill, how to use it, and how to obtain it. Through his mind, imagination, the process, the substances, the material.

To release a powerful skill, Roku just needs to imagine how things work. And there's an easy way to gain powerful strength, kill monsters and he will receive skill.

Mana was the most important to use the spell. And also Roku learned once he died, revival is impossible.

Though Ilisha heard from a human. She shares an important piece of information once he dies, there was someone powerful or like God to revive him. As long as his soul didn't shatter or gone, the possibility to live again is high.

About human. There's war happening, invading kingdom to kingdom. And there's also a peaceful place, protected by kings and queens. Nobles, knights, adventurers, mercenaries, human slaves, monster slaves, tamer masters, and more as if he was reincarnated in the world of magic, filled with mythical creatures.

Slowly Roku adapts to the forest. Since he arrived, Roku couldn't roam in the forest alone. Even though monsters are friendly, there still trying to hurt him, trying to bring him into a cliff to end his life.

Sayasha and Ilisha accepted him but the creatures residing in the forest are still against that the weak human is staying in their Goddess's side.

There's also a time he almost dies from exhaustion and a venomous breeze. Since then, Roku has honed his skill, gaining strength, and strengthening his body. So that they accept his existence.

Hell train Roku's face in the hands of Ilisha. Sayasha just waits for him, waiting in the house for his arrival. But that training hell had progression.

Exactly a month passed, and it was already dark, Sayasha wearing nothing as she lay on top of Roku, while him, resting palms on Sayasha's back.

"Sayasha..."

"Hm?"

"I love you."

"Roku, I hear that every night and morning. And I-I love you too."

Roku tightened his embrace. They just feel each other earlier.

And since Ilisha sleeps with her Papa and Mama, she often stays at night with them. Ilisha rarely sleeps in her own room which makes the two feel sad at night yet happy but when there's free at night, a whole night is filled with joy.

"Roku..."

"Why, Sayasha?"

"I think It's time for us to..."

"Yeah, I know. Now that the forest accepted me except for the living things here, we can live peacefully now."

"Roku....."

"Sayasha..."

Slowly closing Sayasha's eyes, glancing the last seconds of Roku's mind. All the things she wants to see in man, accepting her daughter, caring for her daughter and her, couldn't betray her. Sayasha felt blessed by meeting Roku.

She thought falling into another man after raising alone Ilisha for years was impossible. But right now, she was also living in her dream just like Roku.

A peaceful night enveloped the entire forest. Making the simple noise easily heard. Sayasha's pounding heart, the rustling leaves through a calming breeze.

In just seconds of closing their eyes, they fall into drowsiness. Completely asleep.

"Wake up, Roku.... Roku wake up...." A faint voice Roku heard in the middle of his dream.

As he opened his eyes, Sayasha wrapped his sight, giving him a morning kiss.

"Wake up, Roku."

Roku closes his eyes again, making a faint smile. Since they have free time, noon is the time for waking.

It's hot and they are still under the blanket. The blanket bath in their sweat, the seed they made last night, creating a strong smell that Roku loves.

Instead of getting up, Roku cuddles Sayasha, pushing Sayasha's back to feel hers. "Once I leave this room, I will stay in Ilisha's playground. Sayasha, let's stay....."

He wants to stay but Roku and Sayasha's stomach growling. Asking for food. "I will prepare our lunch. Roku, I will wait for you at the table. And Ilisha already went into the forest so you can't stay for a long time."

Sayasha taps Roku's head to loosen his cuddle. In months of staying with him, Sayasha already knew how to handle Roku. And Roku knew how to handle her.

Roku will not back down after hearing in Sayasha's mouth it's time for them.

"If you continue, I will sleep with clothes tonight," Sayasha said faintly.

Fast like the wind, Roku let go of her, already sitting on a bed. "I really love you, Sayasha."

Sayasha got up.

"Good morning, Roku and I love you."

The soothing and musical words in the early morning and the smiling face. The day just getting started but Roku was already satisfied and ready to go back to sleep.

"Then..."

"R-Roku, i-idiot..." Sayasha quickly turns to her back, sitting butt on the bed.

In months of staying, they slept as if they were naked. She couldn't used to staring at her naked body even though Roku saw and felt hers.

"You have lovely skin and body shape, Sayasha. I'm really fortunate man when it comes to you. So let me tell you this again, thank you for accepting me."

Roku grabbed the shirt however Ilisha suddenly entered. rushing at the same time closed the wooden door. "M-Mama...! S-She came! The old hag came back!"
