Chapter 378: Meeting Clishya's Family

-----

Frank wandered the beautiful town in the swamp with everyone, it seemed like quite the picturesque place, and the people that lived in here seemed very simple, perhaps even poorer than Acacia Town… definitely.

"So this is where Clishya came from… Such humble beginnings… And she traveled from here all the way to Acacia? This is nuts… Especially because she was just Rank 1 Middle Stage…" sighed Frank, imagining that if she had worse luck, she might have died in the trip.

"Look, Frank, here! That's the orphanage…" said Clishya, as she pointed at the place she used to live before, a large building with around three floors, it had almost the same size as a manor, and many kids were playing around in the backyard, which was filled with tall grass and a few swamp water puddles.

Clishya held Frank's hand as she guided him inside, she rushed in and began to call everyone frantically.

"Everyoneeeee! I AM BACK!"

Silence…

However.

"Eh? Who was that?"

"Someone is screaming on the first floor…"

"Wait… that voice?"

"Is that Clishya?"

"No way!

"Big sis!"

Suddenly, a flood of little children rushed towards the entrance of the orphanage as Frank and Clishya were overwhelmed by them!

BOOM!

"CLISHYA!"

"Big sis!"

"She's back! She's back!"

"You're back, big sis!"

"Big sis is really back!"

A flood of kids emerged, everyone is happy over Clishya's return.

Frank couldn't help but feel a bit happy as well, Clishya seemed rather loved in here.

After many introductions, Frank ended being presented to everyone as Clishya's husband.

"Eeeh? You married a human?"

"We have never seen a human before, they really look plain…"

"Where are the anima features?"

"Not even a little horn?"

"I can grow horns and scales if you want to see," said Frank, quickly growing black Dracolich horns over his forehead, and black scales around his arms, alongside sharp claws.

…

All the kids were shocked by this.

"EEEH?!"

"He's a dragon-kin?!"

"Do those exist?!"

"That was so cool! Do it again! Do it again!"

"Hahah, sure!"

Frank began to play with the kids, shape-shifting his body to amuse them or gross them a bit, at some point, he grew a lot of horns around his body and the kids started to climb his body…

"Haha… I see that he's ready to have a child~!" said a beautiful mature frog-kin woman, who resembled a bit Clishya, but whose eyes were blue, and her hair was azure-colored. She was the "matriarch" as they called her, it was the woman that took care of all the kids, there were two other women, but they were not present at the moment. She was named Amanda and was the closest to Clishya, she was quite literally like her mother.

"U-Uehh?! T-That's… Well… I am already pregnant," said Clishya.

"AAAH?! R-REALLY?!" asked Amanda in surprise, hitting the table with all her strength.

"Yeah…" sighed Clishya.

"YES! My girl Clishya is finally becoming a woman! I can't wait to see the baby!" said Amanda.

"I-I see you're happy over it!" said Clishya.

After having lunch with the dozens of kids there were, which included a lot of things brought by Frank, who didn't stop surprising everyone with his amazing powers… And well, everyone present was also amazing the kids.

The kids seem to have a long time since they had eaten a lot of meat, but there were also a lot of vegetables, fruits, freshly baked bread, and even sweets, something very rare in this area, such as donuts, jelly, flan, and more…

In the end, the kids ate everything, and even Amanda ate a lot of food…

After a few hours, the chief of the town finally found where the visitors had gone and ended entering the orphanage, meeting Frank and the rest.

Everyone presented themselves to the chief, and asked for a private meeting with him…

And this is where Thineas and Abraddon would act…

"EH?! Y-You two are gods?!" asked the chief, he was named Gastred, and was a rather old frog-kin man.

"Uwah… Were we too rough with it?" asked Thineas.

"Maybe too sudden?" asked Abraddon.

"N-No… It's not that… It's just that… Erm… I… Well, it is quite overwhelming. But… You already showed me the magic and all… I-I… Should I kneel?" asked Gastred.

"There's no need," said Thineas with a bitter smile.

"This whole thing is quite ridiculous on by itself," said Abraddon.

"Y-Yes… Well, there's more that you wanted to talk about, right?" asked Gastred to Frank.

"That's right… You see…"

Frank in the end managed to convince the chief of moving the people inside of his divine realm, alongside the rest of the city after he and the two gods showed off their fantastical powers until everyone couldn't do anything else than believe that these three people were actual Gods…

Frank spent the night in the town, sleeping in Clishya's former room with her and his wives, and the next morning, the entire town was moved into the divine realm- No, the entire swamp as well.

Frank cut off the gigantic area from the root and created a large floating island-like place.

He dug a hole inside his divine realm and gently deposited the entire place there.

Some monsters ended getting in, but they were killed with Vritra and Selcis, so the work was swift and flawless.

The people were amazingly surprised, one fantastical event after another… Many began to think that this might have been some kind of dream or something…

But in the end, a brighter future awaited the people of this little swamp, and Clishya was left happy that Frank was able to save them all from their decreasing population and the lack of food…

The next week was spent with Frank going all around the region adding more and more tribes and towns into his Divine Realm, alongside conquering the other three cardinal dungeons, which didn't have dragons this time.

Orb fused with these three dungeons as the cores had no egos and were like computers, and she felt like she grew a bit stronger.

When this was over, Frank decided to move to the desert areas of the nation, the last one with large amounts of population, where Dhuja originated from…
