Hearing Yuki's question, everyone in the cave looked toward Theo. They were also very surprised to see his eyes constantly change colours from gold to red and so on. It gave them a mystical feeling, and at the same time, it was a little scary, for they felt that Theo could see all their secrets with his eyes, it was as if they were naked in front of him, unable to hide anything from his sight.
"Oh! What?!" Now that he remembered that he had yet to tell them about his eyes. "Well, that was something I got through my lineage." He said but didn't want to explain the functions of his eyes... at least not now.
Although he trusted Shina, Yui and Yuki, he didn't know the sisters Zaika and Zaira yet. It may seem strange, as he easily trusted Shina when they first met and told her several of his secrets, but that had several factors that made him decide to trust her.
First of all, she didn't look like someone who would rush out to betray him and tell others. Second, she started living with them, and it was far from the other living things she could tell. Third, even if she was going to run away and tell someone, it wasn't as if the others would blindly believe her, and they could escape away during this time. Fourth, even if she wasn't going to tell and had a chance that someone would read her mind, they were far from powerful beings who could have such abilities, if there was such a skill…
There were even more reasons for him to trust her, but those were his main reasons. But regarding the two sisters Zaira and Zaika, as much as he might have helped them, he still didn't know much about them, and his current destination was a city... so he didn't want to risk telling... and end up being hunted.
Without giving any further answers, Theo deactivated his Golden Fox divine eyes and soon they were back to normal.
Zaira could tell that Theo didn't say much about the lineage of his eyes because of them, but even though she was a little sad... she soon returned to normal as she knew they didn't know each other long enough for him to trust her now; even though she offered to be her lifelong contracted animal.
Of course, his daughter Yui was very curious about it and kept asking, but Theo already knew how to handle his daughter, he magically made a chocolate bar appear in his hand. But it wasn't any chocolate! It was a bar of chocolate that cost him 800 system points!! This chocolate was made with the best ingredients in this world!! Even the milk used to make this chocolate is superior to the milk Yui liked so much, so little Yui's attention was soon diverted to the chocolate in Theo's hand, her eyes sparkling with small stars and a little drool started to drip from her mouth… {TL: This is not bribing, definitely not.}
"P-Papa!! Is that for Yui?" She asked eagerly to eat once again this chocolate she couldn't forget the taste of. Theo had set a limit before that she could only eat this chocolate once a week, and it had been a long time since she had last eaten one.
"Yes, child!" He smiled and handed her the chocolate.
"Papa is the best of all!!" She said happily and hugged him tightly, but not before taking the candy bar from his hand.
Shina and Yuki, just shook their heads, thinking Theo spoiled his daughter…
"Delicious!!" Little Yui expressed her happiness aloud, licking even her small fingers, not wanting to waste her precious chocolate.
Soon the silence took over, only with the sound of little Yui's voice of happiness left.
Not wanting to leave this awkward silence for too long... Theo asked Zaika, "Well, how are you feeling now? Still feeling pain?"
"Ah, no, I'm fine now!! I no longer feel pain... thank you so much for helping me!!" Zaika stood on his four legs and bowed to Theo.
Theo laughed and said, "Haha, don't worry about it! Treat it as a payment for the services your sister will have to do for me."
"Services? What kind of services?" She looked at him suspiciously. {TL: No comment. Wait a few moments and let's just see where your imagination takes you.)
Now they all looked at Theo once more, because they didn't know what he wanted Zaira to do for him either.
"It's no big deal, just stay by my side for a while helping me kill some Animals and Monsters until I think it's enough to pay for my help," Theo explained.
"Ohhh!" The sisters were surprised that they thought they were harder to get. {TL: Did you think the same? Pervs.} Even more so because they could tell that the pill Theo had made Zaika eat was not simple at all, so they didn't think they just needed to help kill some Animals and Monsters as payment.
Of course, Shina and Yuki, who knew what he was doing with the bodies of the Animals and Monsters, could imagine that he would make them work for him until they were able to make up for the 'Energy' he had to spend helping Zaika.
And their first destination was not the city, but Ang Village where he and Yuki befriended Jka and Klin. So while reaching the city, Theo calculated that they would be able to make back points on the system that was spent on them. Then he would see no problem in letting them go.
Sure, he could just let them go without paying for anything, but Theo wasn't so good as to give so many points in his system to some animals he barely knows, though he wouldn't think twice to help strengthen Shina, Yuki and Yui. He would not go around handing out the points they worked hard to get, either.
"Um... I'd like to be of some help, for what you did for me!" Said Wolf Zaika.
"I don't see any problems! That way you can repay me even faster!" Theo smiled.
"Yes!" She agreed.
"Do you think you can walk now?" Theo asked.
"Yes, I don't see any problems! After absorbing the pill you gave me, in addition to helping to awaken my lineage, it also helped to regain my strength!" Zaika explained.
"I see." Theo looked at all of them and said, "Well, let's go then?"
"Yes!!" They agreed.
Having their confirmation, Theo exited with them holding little Yui's little hand, who was still enjoying the chocolate she was eating in little bites to avoid finishing it up quickly…
Noticing the two Wolves sisters looking at her curiously, little Yui thought they were interested in her chocolate and asked with tears threatening to drip from her eyes, "Want a piece?"
Seeing this, Theo, Shina, and Yuki wanted to laugh at Yui's cuteness, it was clearly in her face that she did not want to share her precious chocolate, but even so, she eventually offered.
"N-No, no, thanks!" They said with a forced smile. The truth was that they were curious what little Yui was eating with such a cheerful expression, but seeing her face with tears threatening to arise, they didn't dare to admit it.
Despite this, Theo was happy because he knew how much his daughter liked this chocolate, yet she ended up offering it! He smiled and said, "Yui, you can give them a piece, don't worry! After it's over I'll give you another one, but remember it will be the last one this week, okay?"
"Hehee! Yes, thank you, Papa!" She grinned and pulled out the large chunks of the chocolate bar and brought her little hand toward the Wolf Sisters.
This time they did not decline and gladly accepted. "Thank you!" They said at the same time and each took a piece of chocolate from little Yui.
When tasting little Yui's chocolate, they were overwhelmed, never in their lives have they experienced anything so sweet, yet so tasty. It was very hard for them to taste something sweet because they liked eating things like meat and so on.
"Delicious!!!" they exclaimed in unification.
"Hehee ~ isn't it?" Little Yui showed a happy smile.
*
They continued walking towards Ang Village. While over an hour walking had passed, they talked about things randomly.
Out of nowhere, Theo stopped in his tracks.
[Quest Found!!]
[A mission left by the Solitary White Lion King in his tomb!!]
"Uh???" Theo was confused, this had never happened before. Looking at the open page of his system that appeared in front of it, he clicked on it to find out if it had more information.
[Solitary White Lion King's Quest]
[The White Lion King was abandoned when he was still small. Despite this, he managed to survive and grow stronger! He had some fortuitous encounters and managed to awaken the lineage of the White Lion King. From that day on, he continued to strengthen himself and was recognized by the world. Unfortunately, he never had any friends family to tell, even those who approached him later only lusted for his power. Naively, he trusted someone who then betrayed him, a human who claimed to be his best friend.
Even after falling into this human's trap, he managed to kill him and get out alive!! However, he was poisoned in the process. Because of his White Lion King lineage, he managed to neutralize the poison for a while. But he could not find a cure for the poison. Since then, the White Lion King trusted no one else and became known as the 'Solitary White Lion King'. When there were only a few days left of his life, he prepared his tomb. There he left his most prized possession for anyone who could locate the tomb, hoping them to be both compatible and worthy of it.]
"Theo??"
Theo was surprised after reading everything that was written but was soon taken from his thoughts because they were calling for him.
"Papa? Why did you stop?" Little Yui took Theo's hand and asked looking up into his eyes.
"Hm..." Theo didn't know how to explain it because there was no way to say that he stopped due to receiving a mission notice from his system. He looked back and forth, but couldn't find any entrance to a tomb. "Well, I think I found something out!"
"What is it, Theo?" Yuki asked curiously.
The others also looked at him, wondering what happened.
"Well, could you step back a little for me to be sure?" Said Theo.
"Yes!" They agreed and Yuki took little Yui and started walking away too.
"If the warning came the moment I arrived at this location, then it means I'm near the entrance to the tomb. Since I don't see anything, it's possible that it is underground..." Theo thought as he concentrated Mana in his left hand.
"Theo, what are you going to do?" Shina asked.
"Don't worry! Keep moving away." Theo said.
"Right ..." They nodded and moved further away.
After he noticed that they had already moved far enough away, Theo jumped and used the momentum to punch the ground hard.
"BOOOOOOOOOM!!!"
A dust cloud was formed, they could no longer see where Theo was.
"Cough cough"
Coughing lightly, Theo covered his mouth using his hand.
Yuki who saw Theo being surrounded by the dust curtain took a few steps forward and made her two wings appear on her back and began to fan them strongly, generating a strong wind and blowing away that dust.
It didn't take long to get rid of the dust curtain and be able to see Theo again. "Are you alright Theo?" Yuki asked.
"Yes, I'm okay..." Theo replied, but soon was speechless because he could 'see' what was hidden under the dust.
He saw a very large silver dome! And in front of it was a beautiful golden door almost 6-meter high and 3-meter wide{TL: Around 20 feet high by 10 feet wide for the Imperial system users}. Though a little dusty, Theo figured this door was made of gold or some material like the gold he knew from his past life.
Also, one of the things that surprised him was that he couldn't find the mark of his attack anywhere. Although he didn't use much force, he could only imagine how strong the metal was that made up this tomb.
"Theo, what's this?" Yuki, who had already approached him, asked.
"Ah. I don't know yet either, but it's probably something that has been underground for some time." Theo felt bad for deceiving her, but there was no way he could tell what it was without mentioning his system.
"Ohh, I see..." Yuki nodded.
"Shall we go in, Theo?" Shina, who came holding little Yui's hand, asked.
"Well, we can take a look, but we need to be very careful!! Because we don't know if there are traps inside." Warned Theo.
"Yes!!" Everyone agreed.
