Lord of Dreams – A Multiverse Fanfiction

Chapter 67: Drama At Home



Yume Town

"Aaaaah∼∼ There is nothing like home!"

It's been a couple of days since the battle at the Demon Slayer HQ, and by now Lorien had already returned home

But before doing so, He spoke to Kagaya about the scattering and planting of the Tree of Dreams 'Seeds'

The latter actually wanted to immediately give him all of his family's property as they had previously agreed upon, But surprisingly, he was met with Lorien's refusal

Lorien had no actual interest in this money, after all, he can easily make such things

What truly attracted him to the Ubuyashiki family is their influence, and such influence is best used by the family itself

If Lorien were to take their property, there is a big chance that a big portion of this influence will be lost, so he decided to just stay as a behind-the-scenes kind of figure and just give orders from there

The plan they finally decided on consists of exporting the 'Seeds' of the Tree of Dreams alongside rice, sugar, tropical fruits, and other goods

Then, someone from the hosting country will take charge of planting them in different cities and towns

Actually, there is no real need to plant it everywhere, as with the ability of the Tree to multiply itself, as long as it is planted in a country or continent, with time it'll cover the whole place

According to Lorien's mental calculations, it'll take about 20 years to cover the whole planet be it on land or sea, and about 20 or 30 more years to get all of them connected

This is assuming that there won't be external help from the Ubuyashiki family and Lorien which consists of planting more trees to get them connected faster

At that time, It won't be long before Lorien gets 'Ownership' of this world

But that's still very far away, as he won't just stay in this world and wait for this to happen, that'll be a huge waste of time, so he decided to leave and then come back later

And speaking of the Tree of Dreams covering large areas, because each city and town has a tree planted in it and they are somewhat close in proximity, they already started linking with each other

Just today, Lorien felt that 6 trees had linked with the main one in his home and sent their accumulated energy to it

But because of all the work he had been doing, He put absorbing it aside for now

"So have you decided yet?"

"Yes! I'll open a small clinic in this town, I am going to settle here with Kanao"

"That's great! A new beautiful girl in town!"

"Araa∼∼ Araa∼∼"

The one Lorien is currently talking with is Shinobu

Following the battle against Doma, and the death of Muzan, There was no need for the existence of the demon slayer corps, so they got disbanded

So after some thought, Shinobu finally decided to buy a house and settle down in this town

Se decided to do the thing she is best at other than poisoning people, and that is healing them

It is unknown why she specifically chose this town, it may be because Doma was killed here or it may be something else, but Lorien wasn't interested in getting to the bottom of it

So after chatting with her for a while, he walked with her to the door of the estate and bid his goodbyes

According to her, there are some things she needs to deal with before fully moving here

Walking back to the house, Lorien made his way to the backyard, By now he had already fixed the damage done here as a consequence of the battle that had transpired

When he first came back, this place didn't look good, most of the greenery was demolished, The beautiful flowers he planted got destroyed, and there were pits big and small everywhere

But there is nothing some reality warping couldn't fix, so he didn't sweat it too much

But then, just as he was about to sit down, Nezuko exited the house and made her way to the backyard

Looking at her coming his way, Lorien smiled

"So you are leaving?"

Looking a bit downcast, she responded

"Yes, My brother should arrive today, I'm leaving with him"

Hearing this Lorien nodded and said with a sigh

"Yeah, You have already healed I guess, You are welcome at any time though!"

Following this, both became silent which caused the atmosphere to turn awkward, goodbyes were never easy

"Here"

But then, Nezuko suddenly put her hands in her clothes and took out the Nintendo switch handing it back to Lorien

"Ahaah! No, No, Just keep it, it's a gift!"

Saying this, Lorien created a solar charger and handed it to her

"Take this also, you'll need it to charge it!"

Pausing for a moment, Nezuko then took it and thanked him

"I'll go get ready then"

But just after taking a couple of steps, she paused, then she suddenly turned around and ran towards Lorien hugging him, and kissing him

Reacting quickly, He turned his head to the side causing her lips to land on his cheeks

Realizing this, Nezuko let go slowly and said in a dispirited manner

"Do you dislike me?"

Hearing this Lorien quickly held her and said

"No, No, No, it's just that you are too young"

"Am not young!"

"You are...."

"Okay, how about this, if in a few years you still hold the same feelings then I agree!"

"Really?"

"Yes"

After coaxing her for a while, Lorien heaved a sigh of relief, this actually took a lot of willpower to do, after all, nezuko in her adult form is a beauty

But the reason he did so, is because that is just an external facade, mentally she is still young

Moreover, there are a lot of elements that may have influenced her to do this

Starting from Lorien being the one who healed her and turned her back into a human, to the fact that he killed muzan the one who slaughtered her family effectively taking revenge for her

This is also the reason why Lorien told her to wait a few years, by that time she would have become a true adult and can truly make such a choice

By then her feelings would have calmed down, if she truly liked him and it wasn't something like just pure worship or her being influenced by the moment, then he'll agree, if not, then it wasn't meant after all

This is Lorien's own bottom line, the rules he had set for himself

Rules made by society, Laws, and Regulations, be they modern or ancient, simply don't work on Lorien as no one could enforce them

So if he doesn't limit himself and set clear but flexible rules to follow, with time he may become a 'monster', something he absolutely despises

Of course, those rules depend on him, he is walking his own path with his own rules

Finally dealing with this, Lorien let go of Nezuko

'Hmmm?'

But just then, He caught a figure in the corner of his eye, and looking towards it, it turns out its Saigai

'Fuck!'
