The Supermarket System

Chapter 58: 58. Deep talk

As usual, Kai woke up in the morning. But this morning was different from the previous ones because Kai felt so excited.

He was in a great mood that morning, around four in the morning. That’s because today, five people with no ill intentions had to turn in their assignments.

The assignment was to find the experts Kai needed—such as blacksmiths capable of making weapons, crafts, or anything similar. In addition, Kai also needed woodworkers, glassworkers, and tailors who were willing to learn.

Kai needed all of them for his business and to start classes.

Since Kai was also in charge of the orphanage, he wanted them all to become teachers who could teach the children various skills.

Of course, they’ll be paid and provided with accommodations and meals.

However, Kai’s smile vanished as he stepped out of the bathroom after washing his face.

"Angeline—wait, is she sleeping here?" he muttered in confusion, until a fleeting memory of what happened last night made him feel embarrassed.

No, not embarrassed—but... he didn’t know what that feeling was.

His whole life on Earth, he’d been a pitiful man who’d never had the chance to love anyone. It wasn’t that Kai had never fallen in love; he just didn’t want his future partner to suffer because of his job.

Because of that dirty job, Kai had never had anyone truly close to him on Earth.

But here... Kai even had a stunningly beautiful fiancée.

Without realizing it, Kai gave a small smile, then sat down on the edge of the bed. He gazed at Angeline’s beautiful face as she hugged a giant white rabbit stuffed animal, one that was almost bigger than Angeline’s own body.

Kai had never had a specific type he liked, but Angeline was a girl who met every standard of beauty in the world of Ardhez.

A petite, oval-shaped face with pale white skin that had a pinkish flush. Long, thick, silky hair with a slight wave at the ends. Petite, full lips; clear, almond-shaped eyes with long, curled lashes. Angeline also had a petite, straight nose.

Just like the doll belonging to the wealthy girl who had once been close to Kai back on Earth. That’s was Ball Jointed Doll, the beloved doll of a beautiful girl whom Kai had to kill due to circumstances. The girl who made Kai give up and choose to be killed rather than kill that beautiful girl with Down syndrome.

Uh, just thinking about that made Kai’s heart ache deeply. He knew another hitman would take his place, so his sacrifice would surely be in vain. And that made him even sadder.

There was nothing he could do to fight those evil people.

But speaking of Earth, Kai had to talk to Nagisha about it.

Kai got up, walking carefully so as not to disturb Angeline, who was fast asleep.

Since it was a beautiful morning, Kai went outside the pavilion after getting dressed neatly. He wanted to take a walk a bit farther, while taking in the beautiful scenery.

"Where are you going, young master?"

Kai turned around and was surprised to see Nagisha standing there, wearing a beautiful dress that made her look even more beautiful than before.

"Nagisha, I want to go for a walk because it looks like it’s going to be a sunny day," said Kai.

"Didn’t you want to talk to me, which is why you kept me here? And well, you win because I’m starting to feel at home here, hahaha. Let’s go for a walk with me—oh! How about you ride on my back? It must be exciting to see the city from above."

Perhaps because Kai’s mental age had returned to match his current age, he became very enthusiastic about childish things like that.

Riding a dragon!

Who wouldn’t be excited about that?

Nagisha returned to her monster form, but this time she unfurled a pair of white wings from her body and began to look like a water dragon, not a giant snake.

Kai tried to climb onto the water dragon, then held on tightly for fear of falling.

Nagisha began to fly, making Kai feel anxious.

However, once Nagisha reached a height of two hundred meters above the ground, Kai started to get used to it.

The dragon flew slowly so that Kai wouldn’t be hit by too strong wind.

"Let’s fly all the way to the top of that mountain, young master!" said Nagisha, flying toward the huge mountain near Arslan.

In the blink of an eye, they had reached the summit, and thick clouds enveloped the area around the mountain. So all Kai could see at that moment was a sea of white clouds.

"I think these clouds will clear up soon—don’t worry, young master. Let’s talk here," said Nagisha.

Kai nodded, then took out two folding chairs and a small folding table.

In such a cold place, nothing beats a warm drink.

"I’d like a hot butterscotch coffee and also—oh! Do you know what a cream puff is? I really love that pastry," said Nagisha, who had already transformed back into her human form.

Kai bought two cups of coffee for the two of them, along with the snack Nagisha wanted, a cream puff—and the food Kai wanted, buttered toast.

"Hmm—this is exactly the kind of taste I love! Let me stay with you; I’ll pay you back later from my underwater cave—I have chests full of gold coins," said Nagisha.

Kai laughed upon hearing this, then replied, "Oh my gosh, Nagisha, my pavilion isn’t a hotel."

"Haha, I know, but I want to stay with you. You need a suitable magic teacher for your beautiful fiancée, right? She’s a monster tamer, isn’t she? That’s so interesting."

Hearing that, Kai immediately turned to Nagisha, looking at her seriously.

"Can you know all those things because of your power?"

Nagisha laughed and replied, "Hahaha, that’s true... not all dragons know as much as I do. But it seems I really am very powerful, to the point where I have that kind of ability. Like a fortune-teller? I can even tell that you’ll eventually find a talented craftsman, exactly as you want. Apparently, your luck is really great. You must have only had misfortune before."

Kai laughed awkwardly upon hearing this, then began eating his bread. He seemed to agree with Nagisha.

Because in his previous life on Earth, he had experienced nothing but misfortune after misfortune. Even Kaileon, before this, had known nothing but misfortune.

But now, everything has turned for the better.

Luck has started to be on his side.

"Even so, that doesn’t mean you’ll always be lucky. There’s bound to be misfortune that follows you. And, oh—it seems you’re aware that you’re being watched by that demon prince, right? He doesn’t dare anymore because I’m here. So it’s definitely better that I’m here with you. It’s like a win-win solution, isn’t it?"

Kai was stunned to realize that Nagisha could truly know so many things—because she could perceive what had happened, what was happening, and what would happen.

No wonder—dragons are incredibly powerful creatures. Even her aura was different.

"All right, we both benefit... but if people find out I have a dragon with me, they’ll definitely make a big fuss. I don’t like too much attention."

"Oh, I can transform into a fully human form, so no one will be able to tell who I am—not even with a detection magic like yours. Take a look at me now."

Nagisha stepped back a few paces from Kai; this time, she transformed again into the form of a young girl.

She looked like a girl in her mid-teens, with a petite yet tall frame, pale white skin, and long black hair with a thick bangs across her forehead.

Kai used his detection magic, and nothing appeared there except her name.

Nagisha—an ordinary human with minimal magical energy, and nothing else standing out except her beautiful face.

"How about it?" Nagisha asked.

Kai nodded, "That’s right, no one will know you’re a dragon. Even your terrifying aura has vanished, replaced by the impression that you’re very weak. How did you manage that?"

Nagisha laughed, her voice sounding different as well. It sounded like that of an ordinary teenage girl, no longer the voice of an adult woman.

"This is how I disguise myself on Earth, Kaileon... and you know, those humans are far more terrifying than the demons here in Ardhez. Even though none of them possess magic like the creatures of Ardhez, they’re incredibly cruel. They can even summon demons to help them, even though demons will only mislead them and exploit their greed. You know, I can go to any world because I’m so powerful," said Nagisha, sipping her hot coffee.

Kai remained silent at that moment, staring at his own coffee, which would grow cold if left untouched.

"Do you want to go back to Earth, Kaileon?"

Nagisha’s question left Kai feeling conflicted.

"I..."

"You can’t yet, but there’s still a chance if you grow stronger. Looking inside you, it’s as if something is weighing you down—like a grudge buried deep within..."

Kai tried to calm his mind by taking a sip of his own drink.

"Forget about that for now, Kaileon. You still have a long way to go before you can be like me. Just do what you can here. Oh—look at that, these clouds are starting to disappear! I have to capture this view with my camera—get my camera out too, Kaileon!"

With a bitter smile, Kai began to accept the reality.

That he had to put aside his grudge against Earth for now.

He had to focus on Ardhez.
