The World Traveler

Chapter 017

Nang tumila na ang ulan at tumigil na ang pagkulog at pagkidlat, ay agad kaming umalis ni Sam, leaving the weird girl who wanted to become my maid, since for sure, she needs something from me.

"Say, what happened to that person?" tanong niya.

"Dead," sagot ko "I have it rained down with lightning, his luck made him survive a few strikes but I made sure Al will bombard, someone even tried to save him, but I continued bombarding, and because I used [Weather Manipulation] plus [Ragnarok] everyone thought, its the will of the heaven, so until he died and his ashes and soul were scattered, I continued bombarding him with lightning."

"How cruel," sabi ni Sam "well, we won't survive in this world if we are kind."

Nang makarating kami sa isang bayan, I suddenly felt bad about the security in this world, no one actually asks for identification, as long as you can pay the toll, you can enter, how the fuck can they make the citizen safe then?

<<There is a magic circle in the gate, anyone that has hostile intent, or had evil energy in them cannot enter the town,>> sabi ni Al.

Nang makapasok na kami sa loob ng bayan, we quickly went to a realtor and rented a house in the town, this time, deciding that we will open a small restaurant just for fun, where I am the chef and my wife is the waitress.

The restaurant I made is a home restaurant, where we use the first floor of the house we rented in as the dining area, front yard in included, and the second floor is where we will sleep. The restaurant is small and there are only four tables for four, and there are only two dishes in the menu [Lunch] and [Dinner]. The reason why, its because they will be eating what we decide to eat, its a first come first serve basis where we will only serve a maximum of 40 dishes per day, twenty at noon, and twenty at dinner, naturally, we will only allow people to order once and that it, its not like they will be able to eat more than one serving and in fact, such serving may even serve 4 people, because I will using heavenly grade to divine grade ingredients.

"So... paano natin mapo-promote ang restaurant?" tanong ni Sam sakin after doing all of the preparation and all that is left is to open it.

"Nothing, we will not promote it or anything," sabi ko "we will just put a sign, put the rules on the door, open the restaurant and live our daily lives, if there are people who wanted to eat, then let them, if there is none, there is none, we didn't open this to earn, we open this for the experience," sabi ko "you should also try to brush up your cooking skill."

"Eh~ ayoko nga, mas masarap kang magluto eh," sabi ni Sam.

"But you still need to brush up your mastery, cooking and alchemy can be combined to create elixir dishes," sabi ko.

"Really?" sabi niya.

"Yes," sagot ko.

"That's cool, so ano ang gagawin natin kapag walang customer?" tanong ni Sam.

"Live normally, we can do a vegetable garden in the backyard and take care of some chickens," sabi ko.

"Oh..." sabi niya "come out, Shirona, Akane, Aoi, Kurome, and Kuroe," sabi ko and the five came out of my shadows, appearing in a pre-teen appearance.

One has white hair with black highlights, a tiger ears and tail, she has a short shoulder lenght hair with a blue eyes akin to cats, she has a playful yet haughty aura making one think of the whimsical tigers, wearing a sari like those worn as a traditional clothing in Bengal, India.

One has long azure hair, twisted into braids, she has scales on her arms, neck, and cheeks, and a reptilian green eyes, she has a matured aura making it appear she is the oldest in the group, wearing a cheongsam.

One has vermillion red let down hair whose ends is at her waist, she has a pair of red feathered wings on her back looking as if its in flames, and her feet is that of a birds, wearing an ancient egyptian dress, making her appear graceful.

Another one is a shy looking little girl, with short hair, wearing a swiss traditional dirndl, she has black hair and black tortoise eyes, and with her lovely slovenly face giving her a lazy aura, along with her eyes, one can associate her with turtles, she also has a snake looking thing that acts as the string of her dirndl's apron.

The last among the five is a joyful bundle of energy little girl in twin tails, she has a black hair whose ends were at her hips, she has wolf ears on her head and a wagging fluffy wolf tail, wearing something a child shouldn't wear, a pair of shorts, black knee high boots, a collar with a ring where a strip of cloth were tied to cover her already budding chests.

"Why?" tanong ko sa lima because from what I can 'remember', their human form should be a mature sexy women, as for my relationship with them, I can only remember that they are my pets, my very loyal pets.

"Haah... whatever, change in your beast form, small sized," sabi ko and the five transformed into five animals, a dragon, a phoenix, a tiger, a tortoise, and a wolf.

But because I said small sized, the dragon, Aoi, became a fish, floating in the air in a bubble of water; the phoenix, Akane, became a hawk sized bird; the tortoise with a snake tail, Kurome, became an ordinary looking turtle; the tiger, Shirona, transformed into a white fluffy cat, and Kuroe transformed into a black goofy looking dog with wagging tail.

"By the way, I will tell you this, I don't remember anything other than you five being my pets," sabi ko.

{Its okay, Master,} narinig kong sabi ng isang babae, mahinhin ang tono, and from what I can feel, she is the eldest in this group, and Kuroe is the youngest.

"Okay, the main job of you five is to protect the house," sabi ko "Aoi, and Kurome can stay in the pond, Akane, there is a tree in the backyard, and front yard, you can nest in there, or you can tell me if you want a perch in the living room, Shirona, you can go anywhere you want, same with Kuroe, but Kuroe, you will be mainly guarding the gate, don't let anyone with hostile intent, come in," dugtong ko and felt like I have to say something "if you let them in, no more walkies, the walkies where you are leashed."

{NO! NOT THAT!} narinig kong sabi ng isang babae as the wolf turned dog, Kuroe, plopped down, despairing.

{You will still get the walkies if you do your job well,} sabi naman ng isa pang babae as the cat, Shirona, smacks Kuroe's head with her paw.

"How cute," sabi ni Sam as she picked up Shirona and hugged her, surprising the cat.

"She's my wife, if you five don't know," sabi ko.
