Candies and Battle Suits [C44]

"Today you will sleep on the streets for calling me trash, if I see you sleeping in another place I will personally behead you." Said that Shu Himo then revealed his killing intent, to make the Lord immediately submit.

Hearing the phrase and feeling the killing intent from Shu Himo the Lord was shocked! "I have an empty room please let me sleep in that!" He immediately started pleading at Shu Himo, hoping to not lose all his reputation.

"Shut up and accept it before I decide to make you sleep naked outside." No matter the pleads, Shu Himo was extremely annoyed with this lord, not much by how he considers everything trash, but by how he is governing this place! As Shu Himo is a person from a modern world, he knows that productivity changes based on living conditions, so having all these commoners in such a situation, the economy would not get any better over time!

[The System doesn't have the idea about why the User cares so much about the economy of this place.]

'Shut up System, this is important!'

[Why?]

'I don't know but it is!'

The Lord, hearing the risk of having to stay outside naked paled in fright and immediately accepted his destiny of having to sleep outside.

Shu Himo in the other hand immediately went inside the house and started looking around.

A moment later, he could be heard from the bedroom.

"This is strange, the furniture's value of this house may be over 20 gold by itself..."

Shu Himo, seeing the value of the furniture was startled, and knowing that this is not a sum that a Lord of such a village could normally have, Shu Himo immediately knew that there was something strange going on.

Shu Himo then went again outside of the house together with Phylia, but he did not see the Lord at all: he was puzzled, is he running away for some reasons?

Shu Himo then went toward the first commoner, he found a woman that seemed to be on her forties due to the poor conditions but was actually on her twenties. "Hi, may I question you one thing?"

"Sure!" She seemed open to speaking with a stranger and did not mind at all to answer some questions.

"Does the Lord do something weird in this village? I noticed that he is way richer than he should be." The woman hearing the question immediately paled in fright and ran away.

"What?" Shu Himo was startled, there is no need to run for a question! Thinking more about it, Shu Himo then looked toward Phylia and said, "Do you think what I'm thinking?"

Phylia then looked toward Shu Himo, with sparkling eyes: "Is Master going to give me another candy?"

Hearing what she is thinking, Shu Himo started laughing. Sadly he did not have any candy with him.

"I promise that I will search for some in the future, the one I gave you was the only one I had."

Phylia was sad knowing that it was the only candy, why didn't she savor more on it? Knowing that there was no other solution, she swore to herself to get all the existing candies in the world.

[The User could buy candies from the system shop. 1 BS point each candy.]

'You are crazy, System.'

Not having anything else to do, Shu Himo and Phylia strolled around the village to see around but, being so poor the village had nothing to see so they then came back home to sleep.

Slimes don't need to sleep, so as Phylia did not have anything to do while Shu Himo sleeps, she morphed into a pillow for Shu Himo.

The night passed calmly, with Phylia standing still while gently rubbing Shu Himo's head and Shu Himo that just sleep not caring about it at all.

-----

In the middle of the night.

The Lord of the village who just escaped went immediately in a precise zone of the forest, where there could be found a hidden switch.

Pressing it, he had to wait a couple minutes but then five people immediately came in front of him, ready to hear what he has to say.

"Two kids from the Shu Family came to the village, we can try to kidnap them! They will be useful for our plan. They are only at Acupoint Opening phase, so it will an be extremely easy mission too. I believe they are Shu Himo and Shu Aria. One last thing, it's rumored that Shu Himo did some spectacle in the Arena of the capital, so don't underestimate him too much."

The five people nodded and immediately vanished.

-----

The next morning.

Shu Himo felt truly relaxed, this night he could sleep way better than normal, why is that? Even while having such thoughts he did not care to the point of searching the reason.

Having breakfast by using the food of the Lord, Shu Himo and Phylia then got ready to go out.

Walking through the door toward outside, they then got surrounded by 5 people and the Lord.

Shu Himo seemed unfazed by it at all, and just smiled toward the Lord, saying "So this is why you dared not sleep in the street tonight."

In the ears of the five this phrase had no sense at all, but to the Lord it just made him feel again the killing intent Shu Himo had when he said he would behead him. Feeling the chills running in his back, he unconsciously stepped back.

The five were startled, that kid of just 6 years old managed to scare the Lord like that?

They were about to start talking to negotiate with Shu Himo, after all, if they would just get kidnapped obediently there would be no need for a fight that may give them pain, but, what they did not expect would be to see Shu Himo looking at them with eyes filled with greed.

What is happening?!?

Why is he looking at us like that??

Such thoughts went in the minds of every one of them, but surely they would not think that Shu Himo was looking at their Battle Suits.

'Completely black Battle Suits... I can't use those as they are already used by someone but I absolutely need to have a Battle Suit especially made for me!'

[The System can sell personalized Battle Suits from the Shop. Based on the number of BS points used they can even have special effects.]

'Really? Can one Battle Suit for Phylia that morph with her be made too?'

[A morphing Battle Suit? There is nothing the System can't make.]
