[Chapter 69] Cube Life

"Sorry about that, I am not able to control my strength very well. I am 13." I say while laughing and scratching the back of my head. 'Mix your lies with your truth. I think this is how you lie?'

She shivers a little bit more before she suddenly turns calm. "Okay, now what is the world outside the cube like?"

I sit there as I try to not show my shock, 'This woman can change with a switch flick! Holy crap!' It's almost as if she had a lever flicked. Little did Kurayami know was that the competitions to become a manager are no laughing matter, people get drugged or accidental murder if they aren't careful, your family could turn on you in an instant, suddenly becoming your enemy.

The manager shivers at those memories. 'Thank god they applied the law about age or else my parents would of most likely been fighting too.' She breaths an internal sigh as she shivers at the thought.

"Well, there is magic, mana, different kinds of species, monsters, basically, anything with magic you have heard of, it's most likely here." She sits there, silent and calm, as if the breath of life was removed from her and she became a statue. All of a sudden, she looks up. "And you can show me this magic?"

I laugh while I shake my head, "The most I can do is show you the capabilities of magic, but not magic itself." She nods and stands up, "Well, let's go to the tournament area, you can show me there."

I am shocked for a moment before laughing, "I didn't think you guys would have an arena, alright, let's go." I say as I stand up a little after her.

"But can we invite Winter? I want to show her as well, she might become interested and might even have an affinity, so it might be helpful that she sees it's capabilities."

She pauses for a moment, then nods. "Alright."

I watch as she walks over to the door Winter entered into and knocks on it. She opens the door with a smile and brand new set of makeup. Her hair now has some silver slivers glistening in the light but has mainly turned back to her original color which goes the same for her ears and tail. But when she sees her mother, her smile almost dies instantly. She looks at her mother with a sad expression, her ears folded forward and her tail dropped. She suddenly hears her mother speak, "Get ready to go, we're are going to see Kurayami use some of his abilities."

She slowly regains a happy look and nods before closing the door. The mother looks over at Kurayami before simply saying, "I need to make a call real quick for your request, give me a moment." She says as she walks into a room while raising up her wrist and a holographic panel showing up. But before I can see or hear anything else, the door closes.

I sit back down on the couch and wait. After about 5 minutes, I hear a happy voice and look over to see Winter walking into the living room in a grey colored skirt with a mint shirt on, highlighting her growing curves, but doesn't help the fact that she already has what I would rate a 6 chest and a 4 rear.

"Hi Kurayami! So what abilities was my mother talking about? Is it that gauntlet creation ability you have?" She jumps up and down excitedly as she stares at me, her eyes full of excitement.

'It's like she forgot about the shadow soldier. Speaking of, I need to still create my symbol to represent they are my soldiers.'

I sigh and look over at her while I wave at the couch, "You might want to sit down, this is going to take a bit of explaining." I then go on to explain the world outside the cube, how there are tabaxi's, orcs, elves, slimes, monsters, beast men, demi humans, and when I get to magic, her eyes brighten to an extreme.

"Magic?! You mean like in The worlds of today and tomorrow?!" I raise an eyebrow, "The worlds of today and tomorrow? What is that?" I ask, my voice as confused as I look.

She begins to blush as if she said a very embarrassing secret. "It's a show about how this man is summoned to another world, he discovers that magic can be used by chanting and he uses it to help send the medieval world into a world of technological magic. It's a show meant for littler kids but I still enjoy it."

I laugh, 'I guess they still have to create something to keep the people in the cube happy, makes sense.' I eventually stop laughing as I realize that she is blushing even more than before, her face extremely red.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I wasn't laughing at you, but at the fact that this show sounds quite impressive. How did you guys come up with the plot is what makes me curious."

She slowly stops blushing and opens her mouth to answer but suddenly is interrupted by a door opening. "Ok, I finished my call, let's get going." She says as she walks towards the front door, I get up and hold out my hand to Winter, "Ready for your mind to be blown?"
