My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death

-----

Arthurious had reached the monster pet nursery once more, and found his pet Blackie better than before, filled with happiness, he wanted to stay here with him for the rest of the day to accompany Blackie.

"He can't move yet but you can stay here with him if you want to." Said Frank.

"Y-You don't mind, sir?" asked Arthurious.

"No, not really, but you'll eventually get bored… Want some books or snacks?" wondered Frank.

"B-But wouldn't it be much bother?" he asked.

"Not really, you paid a lot, and the hospitalization will also cost later on, so you better prepare the coins, I am thankful you seem to be for a rich family, so I don't think it's hard for you to get money, right?" asked Frank.

"Hahaha… Yeah, I guess." Said Arthurious, he realized that despite how gentle Frank seemed, he was still a bit greedy…

But it was justified, the expenses of hospitalizing a monster, feeding it, taking care of it, and more, all needed to be paid, Frank was nice and all, but he wasn't doing charity.

"Don't worry, I will ask for the payment after he fully recovers, you don't have to pay every day, so calm down." Said Frank while petting the boy's blonde hair.

"O-Okay… thanks for your consideration, sir." Said the boy.

"Don't worry about it. More importantly, have you eaten anything yet?" wondered Frank.

"E-Eaten anything? No, I haven't…" said the boy.

"Well, that's unfortunate… I'll bring you some things to eat, the bathroom is to the back of the room, in that door, things might be a bit different from your usual bathrooms, but don't question my aesthetic choices…" said Frank.

"Sure…" said Arthurious.

After Frank walked away from the room, Arthurious looked at Blackie and kissed him on his forehead again, hugging his beloved goat.

"Blackie, I missed you…" he sighed.

"Meee… Slurp, slurp…"

Blackie licked the boy's cheeks once more, Arthurious was accustomed to his pet being affectionate like this.

He was often accustomed to sleep over Arthurious's belly every night in the bed, warming the boy and acting as his guardian ever since the boy had memory.

It had been his companion this entire time after all, separating himself from him was a hard thing to do, even if it was less than a day and only just a single night.

The boy walked around the room and looked into the window, it led to the outside, he could see the people walking around from within the second floor, it was quite a pretty day today.

He then moved to the bathroom as he wanted to pee, and was surprised that… indeed, its aesthetics were different.

The toilet was white and made of a very soft and nice to touch material, there was a sink with potable water that didn't seem to work with magic…and there was even a bathtub with the same mechanism.

The floor had a soft pink-colored bath mat, and there was toilet paper, something he had never seen before… in this world, people used other methods to clean themselves.

"Wow… This is… weird, what do I use this paper for- Oh! To clean myself…" said the boy, surprised about Earth's hygiene, even with magic technology, it seemed that Earth was still superior to this world…

After peeing, Arthurious quickly walked back to Blackie, as he saw Miriam bringing some food for him.

"Here you go Arthurious!" said Miriam.

"Eh? You know my name…" said Arthurious.

"Sir Frank told me your name, and asked me to bring you food… these skewers are very good! Very tasty! There is also fruit juice and a candied apple!" said the girl.

Arthurious who was often not allowed to eat candies began to drool after seeing the beautiful and glossy red apple in front of him, he pounced over it and quickly began to devour the food as if there was no tomorrow.

"It is good… I was a bit hungry…" he said.

"Hehe, I am glad you like it." said Miriam with a cute smile.

Arthurious looked at the girls' beautiful smile, he blushed once more…

Blackie noticed this from the distance, his pet knew very well what Arthurious was feeling for this girl.

Could it be love at first sight?

Such a thing even existed?

Well, with kids that had turbulent emotions they couldn't control well, it was totally a thing.

"S-So… you work here?" wondered Arthurious.

"Oh yeah! I do… this is my first day! Sir Frank said you'll be coming every day so let's get along." Said Miriam.

"Sure… let's get along!" said Arthurious.

As the two kids conversed for a bit, Frank realized how lustrous Miriam had left the floor.

"Wow! I was planning to do cleaning work here but damn; I suppose that girl might even be more talented than I am." Said Gwendolyn.

"That's… seems to be the case. I wonder if she was forced to clean back in the orphanage, and that's why she's so good at it…" sighed Frank.

"Well not everything has to be a tragedy, right?" asked Gwendolyn.

"…Right." Said Frank.

He didn't wanted to trouble himself any more than now, so he decided to not pursue the issue.

The hours went by, and the day came to an end, there were only two more clients through the day, who have come to buy Health Tonics and Ability Enhancers and that was it, but at the very least Frank made some money and had a relaxing day.

Through the day he ended eating food with Miriam and Arthurious alongside Gwendolyn and Ruby, the four kids were getting along well, and Frank was happy his son was getting some new friends outside of his adopted siblings, Vritra and Selcis.

After the day ended, Frank closed the shop and said his goodbyes to the two kids, who walked together back to their home and separated after when their paths branched.

Frank used his monster pets to follow them from behind and protect them. He was able to use some of his abilities such as Shadow Clone through Onyx, so it wasn't hard to divide Onyx in two to protect the two kids.
