I had asked the question to the sect elders. Which one was the best?

They all began to discuss desperately after that, as if they were all children. They would never admit their sect was weaker than others, of course, this would only bring discord between the two and might even bring them to fight one another even more.

But I was testing if they were really as childish as I had thought, it would be dangerous to join a sect composed of childish people after all, all five of them ended fighting against one another over my question. They really wanted to have me as their new disciple.

I didn't really mind joining any of them, but I wanted to see…

Between all five of them, there was actually someone calmer than the others, an old man with short azure-colored beard.

He looked at the other four discussing like children while sighing, he was tired of this stupid discussion, it seems.magic

"I'll join the South Water Sect." I said.

"What?!"

All four of the sect elders looked at me in disbelief, as the calm old man looked surprised, looking at me while trying to find if what I had said was the truth.

"Y-You're really okay with that?" he asked.

"Yeah, Xijun, come. We are joining this old man instead." I said.

"Okay." Xijun was expressionless as ever, and simply nodded a little bit as she reached my side and stared at the old man.

"Nice to meet you." She said.

"I am glad to have both of you in my humble sect." said the old man.After the entire sect event was over, we were moved with other recruits into an Inn to stay over for the night, as we would be traveling back to the sect in the morning of the next day.

The other sect recruits were mostly all quite small and young, and were timid to even speak with us, but that was for the better, I wouldn't really want to waste my time talking with anyone.

I am just going to use the sect to learn more about this world and perhaps grow stronger as well, using the resources they hold and all of that, although we'll probably not even obey them as much as the sect would want us to obey, but that's what they'll get for recruiting us anyways, so don't blame me, blame yourself!

"This sect is about water, right? Maybe I can learns some new techniques out of it." said Xijun.

"I would guess that it would be good for you, I think you could have a pretty good compatibility with this sect, indeed." I said.

"Yeah, I am looking forward to getting there, I am nervous of moving out, but maybe I am getting used to this pretty easily." Said Xijun.

"Well, let's enjoy the meal and then go to sleep in our room." I said.

"Sure…!"

We enjoyed the delicious food in here, which was mostly seafood, and then we went into our designed room, which had two beds, the beds were actually quite comfortable, showing that this place was most likely one where only rich people would usually stay. Perhaps the sect had benefits, of course.

As I went to sleep, I was inside of my Divine Realm with my second body enjoying a day with my family. It has been a few days since they were born, but my two little daughters, Valentina and Fran were crawling around the floor rapidly.

Valentina was Anna's daughter, and she was obviously half squirrel-kin beast-woman. Her tail was still small, but it was already fluffy and adorable, and her little legs crawling around the floor also looked very cute.

"Dadaaa!"

Valentina reached to me as I sat down over the floor, as she hugged my leg.

"Ooohh?! Did she just said daddy?" asked Anna in shock, her eyes opening wide. She had been recovering from giving birth and now felt almost completely fine. Although the power she had lost had not come back completely, she was slowly regaining it while leveling up from time to time, which also boosted this through the roof.

"Indeed, she just said that! I heard her… Valentina, did you said dada?" I asked.

Valentina looked at me with her big and glowing crimson-red eyes, as she smiled cutely, showing the little squirrel tooth growing over her upper jaw.

"Da… da!" she said again, twitching her squirrel ears.

"Uwaaahh! My cute daughter is the best! You'll grow into such a fine little lady!" I said, as I hugged my little Valentina."Let me hug her too!" said Anna, as I gave our daughter to her, and Anna hugged her. As fellow parents, we were both obsessed with our little daughter.

"D-Damn, she's really just the cutest." Sighed Anna.

"Pap…"

However, Fran who was crawling around elsewhere while her butterfly wings flapped aimlessly without being able to lift her off the ground, suddenly also said a very suspicious word!

"F-Fran?!" I asked, looking at the girl, she smiled at me.

"Pap!"

She jumped over me with all her strength, suddenly managing to lift herself off the ground for a few seconds.

"T-There!"

Kireina managed to catch her before she were to fall, I was just going to catch her too, but she ended doing it first.

"Pap! Pap! Pap!" Fran began to say those words while touching my nose. I kissed her adorable cheeks and forehead.

"Fran-chan, you're really just the cutest too…" I sighed.

"Isn't she? She's a bliss!" said Kireina.

"Dada!"

"Pap!"

Valentina and Fran began to fight for my attention, as the two said my "name" or well, whatever they meant, although I liked to think that they were trying to say "daddy" and "papa", but who knows? Maybe they're just saying nonsensical words.

Nonetheless, spending time with my daughters is really just the best.

The two little girls were growing steadily every day, and I can't help to see them grown up, although deep down I also don't want them to grow up and would prefer if they just stayed as babies… Sigh.

"Baaah!"

Suddenly, Fran released a shadow bullet from her mouth, clashing it in the floor.

BOOMM!!!

They had also begun to develop some powers…
