Bab 118: I'm Finally Home
※~・Arc 9: Home Sweet Home・~※
Hey, Shun here!
My past self seems to hate shopping on supermarkets or far away convenience stores, so much so that he would just make do with whatever goods the nearby local convenience store have.
However, in this life, I kinda like shopping, especially when I have to accompany my sisters. It's one of our bonding time.
✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽
(Shun's POV)
After Pochi and Tama left, the girls took turns in opening up their rewards.
First up was Kaede-san.
✽✽[Group Chat]✽✽
System Message: Kaede has opened her 1x Random Reward Coupon…
System Message: Kaede acquired the [Heavenly Pillow]…
Kaede: A pillow? It sounds like it's a high quality one.
Rokuko: That's one of the treasures of the Creator God. Haku told me that, if you use this pillow, a good night's rest is always guaranteed.
Kaede: That sounds really good! Playing VR sometimes make me go over my sleeping time so having this will make me have a good night's rest, right?
Rokuko: Yep! I wanted to buy that as well but I decided to use it for a Gacha spin.
System Message: Kaede has opened her 1x Item/Skill Selection(New World Online)…
Kaede: Umm… Let's see… I have many skills and items that I want from our world so… Umm… Can I go for random, please?
System Message: Collecting Data…
System Message: Randomizing…
System Message: Kaede acquired the [Magical Shield Fortress • Pridwen]…
Kaede: Oooh! A shield! Now, all I need is an armor! I'll buy one from our [Dimensional Shop] later!
Rikka: Congratulations Kaede-san. I can't count the number of times you wished you got your shield from the game. Now, you probably have a stronger one.
Mutsuko: Congratulations Kaede-chan.
Shun: Congrats Kaede-san. Now, you only need a full body armor.
Kaede: Hehe, yeah. Thank you everyone.
Rikka: Alright, looks like I'm next.
✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽
We all waited for Rikka-san to use her reward coupons but, a few seconds later, no system message came. What? Is she nervous or something?
✽✽[Group Chat]✽✽
Shun: Rikka-san?
Rikka: O-Oh yeah, I'm on it! Don't pressure me, geez. I was just doing my overflowing luck ritual.
Mutsuko: Oh yeah, I get you. I also do that when spinning gachas.
Rokuko: Shun doesn't understand the importance of rituals before spinning. Don't worry Rikka, I'll pray for you.
Shun: Well yeah. It doesn't seem to do much anyway.
Kaede: Eh? I also don't bother doing rituals for luck though?
Satanichia: Me too. I don't think it would change much. Also, we don't pray to that God person.
Mutsuko: Heee… Well, it makes sense that devils can't pray to God.
Rikka: Anyway, I'm going to open it now.
System Message: Rikka has opened her 1x Random Reward Coupon…
System Message: Rikka acquired the [Ultimate Dagger Mastery] skill…
Shun: Oh, you got an Ultimate Skill. If you want to level it up, just chat me. I have two of them and they now at level 5 and 6 respectively.
Rikka: Thanks [Admin] Shun. I want to figure out what it does first.
Rikka: It would've been better if I got an eye related power to enhance my [Tyrant's Eye] though.
System Message: Rikka has opened her 1x Item/Skill Selection(New World Online)…
Rikka: Since I already did my ritual and all, I'll go with a random roll like Kaede-san.
System Message: Collecting Data…
System Message: Randomizing…
System Message: Rikka acquired the [Mind's Eye] skill…
Rikka: IT CAME! IT CAME! IT REALLY CAME! HAHAHA SEE THAT, [ADMIN] SHUN!? MY RITUAL WORKED!
Shun: Wow. Congratulations, I guess?
✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽
Did Rokuko's prayer worked? Like, really?
I don't really think Rikka's prayer would work so, Rokuko's 'prayers' is the only answer.
While I was thinking of such things, Satania decided to open up her rewards as well.
✽✽[Group Chat]✽✽
Satanichia: It's my turn now!
System Message: Satanichia has opened her 1x Random Reward Coupon…
System Message: Satanichia acquired a [Phoenix Egg]…
Satanichia: A Phoenix? Is it something like those fiery bird devils in my home world?
Shun: You could maybe ask your parents if they could help you hatch it? Phoenixes from Rokuko's dimension look cool, majestic, and they're also immortal.
Satanichia: Cool… Majestic… Sounds like a pet that would suit me! Alright, I'll do that!
System Message: Satanichia has opened her 1x Item/Skill Selection(New World Online)…
Satanichia: I want my [Nature's Beloved] skill!
System Message: Satanichia acquired the [Nature's Beloved] skill…
Satanichia: With this, I could finally use magic if I manage to learn a spell! Conquering Earth is almost within my reach. A-hahaha!
✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽
Satania-san's antics aside, she got some good rewards this time. I thought she'd take this opportunity to get a spell from [New World Online] but it looks like she held herself back.
With the many d-coins that we got, I think she could buy a good spell from the [Dimensional Shop] already. She probably knows that, too.
✽✽[Group Chat]✽✽
Mutsuko: My turn.
System Message: Mutsuko has opened her 1x Random Reward Coupon…
System Message: Mutsuko acquired the [Divine Futon]…
Mutsuko: Oh, this one is like Kaede's. This have some interesting functions… I wanna try it out later.
Rokuko: Wow, you got the [Divine Futon]. How lucky.
Shun: I wonder how it feels like to sleep on that.
Rikka: I kinda want one like that as well…
Mutsuko: It doesn't seem like anyone could use it besides the owner without permission. I could share it with you guys though.
System Message: Mutsuko has opened her 1x Item/Skill Selection(New World Online)…
Mutsuko: I want my [Mechanical Crafting God]!
System Message: Mutsuko acquired the [Mechanical Crafting God] skill…
✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽
With that, everyone managed to get all of their rewards.
"I guess it's time to sleep. Tomorrow, I have to cook Miu's favorite."
✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽
Morning came and I was greeted with the sight of a white ball of fluff sticking on my face. I know who this culprit is.
I've woken up to one too many events like such every morning that I guess I got completely used to it by now. Yes, that's right, the culprit is none other than Tsuka.
Tsuka began forming this habit because she had no place to sleep at next to me when Rokuko, Ikumei, and Zenko are also sleeping with me. Thus, the only reasonable place for her to sleep in is either on top of my head or on top of my face.
Since I find it hard to breath with her in a position like this, I picked her up by the scruff of her neck and placed her on top of my pillow. I then covered her with a quilt before getting up to do my morning training. By the time I finished my daily morning routine and cooking our breakfast, Miu should already be awake.
After an hour or so of doing daily exercise, I already worked up a sweat so I took a bath. After wearing a jogger pants and a T-shirt, I went out to buy some groceries.
There's a local market nearby that sells fresh food ingredients so I went there by foot. It's just a walking distance away so it wasn't that far.
Looking at my surroundings, the road, and the occasional cars that passes by, I was overcome with emotions.
"I'm home, huh…"
Homesickness, that's the reason why I wanted to finish my quests fast. Although I love a good dose of fantasy world adventure, I'm not used to leaving our home that much.
I strolled leisurely through the side of the road while looking around. Some people would occasionally pass by but, although I wanted to greet them, their eyes were too glued on their smartphones that greeting them would be redundant.
Actually, it's not like all of the people I met were that bad. Some elderly who happens to pass by while doing a morning jog would often beat me to it and greet me first.
It took me a few minutes to arrive at my destination, and a good half an hour to buy some ingredients. In truth, we already have ingredients ready on our fridge but I wanted to go outside today.
It's been a while, after all.
After an uneventful trip back, I arrived at our home.
"I'm home!" Tsuka and Miu should still be asleep right now.
Putting the groceries down on the tabletop, I washed my hands before preparing the ingredients for our breakfast. Curry would be heavy on the stomach so early in the morning but hey, you need to eat more food during the morning since you'd need that energy to function all throughout the day.
Whilst I was chopping some chili peppers, I felt something light land on top of my shoulders.
"Squeak~. Master, morning~."
"Good morning Tsuka. How was your sleep?" Done with the chili peppers, I put them aside and, after washing my hands and drying them, patted Tsuka on her head.
"Squeak, squeak~? Master, cooking for Miu~?"
"Uh-huh. I'm cooking Miu's favorite food." Oh, right. I forgot to tell you but Tsuka and Miu are on good terms with each other.
At first, I was reluctant to let her go out since who knows what those heartless scientist might do to her but, on hindsight, that was so stupid of me. Tsuka is strong on her own and there's no human technology that could possibly even catch her.
Thus, I let Tsuka roam freely inside our house after Introducing her to my sister, Miu.
Should I say that it was love at first sight? She extremely adore Tsuka, similar to how Rokuko acts around her.
Tsuka really have this uncanny power to attract girls' attention, doesn't she? Well, I can't really blame them though since she's really cute.
After some mixing here and there, the food was finally done.
"Alright. It's done. What do you think, Tsuka?"
"Squeak~! Master, food look delicious~!"
"Haha, thank you. Come on, let's prepare the table. Miu should be going down any moment now."
"Squeak, squeak! Aye, aye!"
Just in time, the sounds of a person's footsteps echoed from upstairs.
"Onii-chan. What's our meal for today?"
