Another war to protect Port Williams.

It had been a week since Natalie and Eva have been thawed out from the stasis chambers and a month already since the ruling elites of the Axeman City decided to go to war against the inhabitants of the Jackson Fortress.

As the preparations for war is undergoing, the news about the attacks on the trade caravans and gangs of nomads heading for Port Williams to conduct trade and the declaration to form the Jackson Free State make the traders and merchants of the Axeman City felt uneasy because their goods could have been stolen and their money may have been lost.

With such fears reinforced, the citizens of Axeman City is now galvanized into going to war to protect their interests, to get paid by the ruling elites of their city and to get their hands on some loots to enrich themselves so that they can secured the better lives for themselves and their loved ones in the future.

And now, a fleet of armed galleons from the port city of New Rotterdam that is under the direct rule of the Orange Kingdom finally arrived with their own troops and supplies to join the expeditionary fleet prepared by the Axeman City.

After staying anchored for a few more days to gain more recruits and to obtain more supply, the allied fleet finally left for Port Williams to defend it from the newly-declared Jackson Free State.

As for you, you ultimately decided to join this expedition too since you wanted to make sure the unborn children within Giselle, Miyuki and Nanami will be okay. And since you will be going, Elijah also will be going as well. At first, he has no interests in doing so. But after Eva implored him to, he relented.

Brittany and Rain also wanted to come to look after you but you refused, telling them that you do not wanted to put them into dangers. And knowing that you are right, they accepted.

For days, the allied fleet sailed the river northward to Port Williams. And finally, you and the ghoul are now once again back the Port Williams.

Not long after you and the ghoul left the galleon that you and him were onboard, you immediately run into one of the familiar faces.

"Well, well, well, look who's back in town!" Miyuki said as she's approaching you and Elijah. And from the look of it, she's carrying two bags with her, indicating that she came to buy some stuffs, most likely to get some foods and ingredients for her patent medicines.

"Miyuki! You are okay! How are your cousin?" You asked her, clearly hinting to her that you wanted to know about her condition.

"Oh! Nanami is okay. She's telling a bunch of kids the story about someone named Joseph if I remembered correctly." Miyuki said as she's smiling back at you, showing that she is happy to see you again.

"Glad to hear that!" You said with relief, happy to know that Nanami is also okay as well.

"Well, I have to go back to the clinic and concoct more patent medicines now! So see you guys around then!" Miyuki said as she turned away but then, she suddenly turned around because she remembered she has something very important to tell you and get really up close to you.

"And one more thing..." Miyuki said as she leaned closer to your right ear.

"Congratulations, daddy..." Miyuki whispered into your right ear, confirming to you that Miyuki and Nanami are indeed pregnant with your children!

"What did she just whisper to you?" Elijah asked you, clearly not hearing what she just whispered into your right ear at all.

"Oh! Uh! Nothing! Just a request to come to buy some of her patent medicines! Hehe!" You laughed nervously as you are looking at the ghoul, who is hardly convinced of what you just said.

"Nah! Let's just go!" Elijah said as he's leading you to the nearest inn in order to get rooms to stay.
