7 Months

"Seriously, what is the author doing?"

"I know, right? It has been 7 months since he released 5 volume. Inuyasha is killing me with curiosity! What happened to Kagome!"

"Oh, you talking about Inuyasha! I've read that masterpiece! Do you think now that Kikyo resurrected, Kagome will die?"

"No, no. That's not important. Can't you see the mystery in it? By Kikyou and Inuyasha's discussion, the third-party is obviously involved. Damn it! I am so excited!"

"Me too. I just hope that the author is still well and alive."

"Yeah… but this is the world we're talking about and 7 month has passed… he may have gotten killed by someone."

The Reign Empire citizens were as bustling as ever. In front of the shop Maou opened up, the illustrations of Inuyasha holding his big sword (Tessaiga) were written as the representative figure of the store.

Inside the store were filled with costumer going in and out.

At first, they had their suspicion but soon, it turned to curiosity and finally, one costumer bought a book(manga).

The ideas of drawing a character instead of just writing a letters were too foreign for the citizens of Reign Empire.

Not to mention, the story itself were great while the manga were well-optimised and the reader could understood (more clearly) who took, what sort of action the character made.

Not even adult, even children started coming to this store and buys the book—the citizens of Foreign Empire (bad joke) were fascinated by this manga.

Some even buy 2 books just for single volume—one for reading the book while the other one are for decorating it in their bookcase.

That's just how wonderful the cover was.

Just… this store has been declining since the lack of another volume.

"It's here! Maou-san… is this…"

"Hm? Yeah. It is. The 6th volume. Not only that, from 7~20 volumes will also be released."

Then as if remembering something, Maou shouted in a voice everyone in store could hear.

"For limited edition, the first 50 costumer to buy from 6 volumes to 20 volumes will get the illustrations of Inuyasha, Kagome or Kikyou."

Maou did the 'limited edition' advertisement and… it was effective.

Everyone was eager for the illustrations.

"How generous! Maou-san, please."

"Sure sure~."

Maou was smiling happily to the successful Cultural Invasion happening in front of his eyes as he checked out the 30 books inside the hardcore fans' package.

Kuro just finished the complicated documents as he purchased the house which the ghost was in. Out of 1,692,600 Golds, 140,000 Golds was used.

Although he still had more than a million golds, it was better not to use it more than enough. Besides, he had a plan for using his money wisely.

It didn't took long before Kuro finished the complicated documents and the contracts were done. Mana, electric, and water it was all-in-one.

Surprisingly simple—everything can be done with one tap in his iVhone. Combined all three bills. It was 100 Golds per month with mana being the most expensive.

100 Golds per month, yearly it was 1,300 Golds. Surprisingly expensive. Moreover, Kuro didn't count the foods fee.

Well at least Kuro's making more money than that so it was okay… for now. With the house done, Kuro called out the four and decided to buy them iVhone, as well add money to Maou's banks (pay his debt).

iVhone costs 899G.

So all that's left in his money were: 1,548,032 Golds.

"Korone, Okayu, Ayame-chan. Here's a present." The iVhone were still designed simple at this age—nor were there 'cases' in this place.

So except for black-metallic color and white color, there wasn't other iVhones. Each iVhone were registered with Kuro's bank account so everyone has access to Kuro's money.

It's okay even if they lost the iVhone as Kuro's iVhone still had the administration over all. With one tap, he can delete the iVhone's account permissions.

'It feels really weird to be a millionaire…'

"Okayu, Korone, Ayame-chan, these iVhone have my bank account so if you're hungry, want to buy something, use this iVhone. It should work anywhere inside Reign Empire."

"Kuro~ thank you…" Whilst Okayu had the same lazy tone from the past,

"Kuro Love!" Korone spouted such words.

"Alright, alright. Stop biting my finger." After a words, Korone stopped biting Kuro's finger.

Joke aside, Kuro ordered for the first actual time.

"Korone, Okayu, could you do me a favor?"

""Ask anything.""

Kuro smiled calmly to their bright and quick response as he said.

"Can you buy us a clothes? I and Ayame-chan will buy the necessary utensils and home furnitures."

"Well asked! I'll buy the clothes that matches you the best, Kuro!" Who said that children with money is the most worrying?

Not Kuro. Seeing the two walking while playfully matching their step like a good friend—Kuro couldn't help but smile like a parent.

"Then, Ayame-chan, let's have a date, shall we?"

"Un." She nodded not knowing what 'date' meant.

Kuro of course knew what date meant! From 21 and 17's informations, they said that 'date' meant a boy and girl going out somewhere together.

-----

'Around this area should be fine.'

"Ayame-chan, sorry but, can we stop a little bit?" Pulling her sleeves, Kuro asked the girl by his side.

"Hm. Why not? Ah! Kuro's going to try that out, right?" Like a detective figuring out, she pointed her finger upward.

"Hehe… yup." Laughing silly, Kuro nodded.

Kuro was stood silently at the midst of road—not long after, he closed his eyes.

[Ki Sense: God's Eyes].

Kuro looked from the 3rd perspective as every single person entered his sight. Natsuiro Matsuri in the west 800 meters away… Shiota Nagisa in north 500 meters away… Natsuiro Hanabi north-west, 730 meters away…

Unfortunately, Kuro couldn't spot his target: Aera. But different from that, Kuro was glad that his expectants were right.

'Either Matsuri has awakened her artifact so there's no need to cause her 2nd tragedy or he just purely have not came back to Reign Empire yet.'

From Hanabi's life these two thoughts welled up in Kuro's mind.

"I am sorry for making you wait, Ayame-chan. Let's go!" Kuro grabbed Ayame's hand.

"Were you looking at… your friend?" Ayame also held Kuro's hand while questioning him.

In response, Kuro nodded. "Yep."

"Really? Then, let's go meet them!" Ayame happily said but, Kuro shook his head.

"No, let's not. They don't remember me." Kuro showed a somewhat sad face.

"Okay…" Ayame couldn't question him because she sensed that it was some sensitive topic…

"Ah, how about this! When we get to our home, I tell you my tales of braves how I saved my friends in exchange of me!"

"I am interested in! Let's buy the necessary furniture quickly and get home!" At least smiles were left in her face.
