Chapter 55

The birthday celebration is over. We are now sitting in the drawing room.

"That was delicious. How did you learn to cook?" (Mom)

"Practice. I practiced a whole lot. But I am no good with the breads. So I had to ask Fay for help."

"I didn't help much." (Fay)

"Still, you made the whole cake by yourself. That's also something. Your mother is the royal chef. Is she also a pastry artisan?"

"No. But it's better to know about it. She is not a full time pastry artisan but she is a competent one." (Fay)

"Oh.. your mother is a chef. I should meet her then." (Mom)

"Mom, are you willing to live with me? You both can live here. Although your bodies are made of , I can give you physical bodies as well."

"No. Send us back. We can meet again, right?" (Dad)

"Yes. We can meet again. Once you settle down, just come meet us. We were living in the spiritual world anyway." (Mom)

"I see. Then I will meet you again once I go to Fay's planet. By the way Fay, what is your planet called?"

I hadn't asked the name of her planet.

"The planet is called Jupiter. And I assure you that it's not that ball of gas. That name was given to honor the king of gods." (Fay)

So her planet is called Jupiter. Quite confusing because we also have a Jupiter. But that Jupiter is just a portal to this world. And that Martin guy is also on his way here. I almost forgot about that guy.

"Then let's send both of you back. The situation is about to become serious."

"Serious? Is something going to happen?" (Mom)

"The bastard who killed everyone is on his way here. So I will kill them. I have already killed 4 of his lackeys."

"The one who killed us?" (Mom)

A distraught look could be seen on mom's face. I think I know why.

"Clive, is Martin on his way here?" (Fay)

"Yeah. He is bringing an entire fleet of ship. Does he have a personal army or hired mercenaries?"

"No. The king gave him an entire fleet. He is the commander of the army. That's why the king gave him a personal fleet." (Fay)

"Isn't that abuse of power? How can a commander have his own personal fleet? And the king gave him that personally. What kind of a king is your father?"

I am truly shocked. I have often read about people like that but to think they actually exist!!

"I don't like it either. But he has been like this. If he likes something, he will absolutely pamper it. No matter how unreasonable he has to act, he will pamper it and then spoil it. Martin is currently being spoiled by him. However, he gets bored rather easily. Once he is done, he will throw Martin away." (Fay)

"Your father is a real piece of work! I kinda respect him for being so honest."

Honestly, there's so many things to do that I stopped caring. Let's just go with the flow.

"And there you have it. I think it would be better if you left for the afterlife now."

I tell my parents.

"I think so too. Sounds like trouble. Be careful then." (Dad)

"Clive, you always had the tendency to go overboard but don't go too over the top." (Mom)

"I will try."

And like that, I bade them farewell and they disappeared.

(They have returned to the afterlife.)

Thank you for the help, System. By the way, how much do I have left?

(You did use quite a lot. Let's see….about eight hundred thousand.)

Wait, isn't there something wrong with that? How can I have eight hundred thousand left when my maximum capacity is one hundred thousand?

(Didn't I say that I would increase your capacity? It took a while but now you can store upto 1 million .)

That sounds outrageous. Then I will proceed to do something stupid.

(What is this stupid thing?)

Everyone has a magic circulation system in their body, right?

(Yes. But you simply don't. No human on this planet had that.)

I will create a circulation system to use my powers more conveniently. And would like to use this conventional magic as well.

So I will make another system which gathers mana from the environment and stores is within me. What do you think?

(Stupid. alone is more than enough. Even one is enough to burn this house to the ground. Mana is lacking in raw power compared to . But if that's what you want then you can.)

Thanks. How much time will it take for me?

(About a day. You don't have to do much. Just think of a circulation path and it will be done. Collecting mana is easy as well. But first, make the circulation path or it won't work.)

Thanks a bunch. I feel like I am getting into more and more debt.

(I will make you pay for every last bit of it. Rest a bit. Martin won't be here for another day. You can practice on him when your circulation path is done.)

Ok.

I go to my room and take a pen and paper. But I can't draw well.

"Fay, can you draw?"

"Eh….that's random. But yes, I can." (Fay)

"Good. Make a diagram of a human and the inner mana circulation path."

"Mana circulation path!!! That's a secret." (Fay)

"Just do it. I need it."

"Fine." (Fay)

She tried to put it off by saying it's a secret but when I pushed her she agreed rather easily.

It's getting late. I am kinda tired. Once she is done drawing, I will start the work and get some sleep.
