Chương 5: Getting Supplies
I was walking with Rose towards the market, I decided it was a right moment to try to figure out if the comet did something to her.
"How are you feeling."
"I'm pretty good, after resting for a while my headache stopped, also even in this situation, when I see you so calm and cool it helps me calm down too."
I was a little surprised by her answer, she was always shy, to be saying something like that, there was indeed something that changed in her. I looked at her and noticed her flushed face. I tried to ignore it and not push her.
"Have you felt something different about yourself from yesterday? It's really weird, but Dante now can use telepathy and his intelligence is the same as a human. I don't know why, but as you said I can keep calm even in this situation which is really unusual."
I decided not to talk about the system for now, since it was even weirder than the other stuff happening.
"There seem to be a few differences, I can think a lot faster than before like if a became smarter, and also I can hide things?"
"What do you mean you can't hide thing??"
"Well, you noticed earlier, even if I want, I just blurted whatever is on my mind, like if I'm under a truth serum or something like that. Please try not to make me say embarrassing things or something that I'll regret, please?"
I decided to not push her too much, also I was looking at the mission, and it didn't change so there was something more.
"Don't worry I would never push you to do something that you don't want? Besides that, is there anything unusual, the cat got telepathic powers, so there is the possibility that some people also got some kind of power."
"At least for now if I got something like that, I don't know how to use it."
"I wonder if there is a way to discover it, Dante was trying to communicate with us and was able to communicate telepathically. Probably, if we are in a situation where we want to use our powers, they will activate."
She seemed to ponder for a second about it.
"That seems right, but we don't know if we have any powers, to begin with, and even if we have a power, the amount of time wasted trying every possibility, is too big. In the end, it's most likely that we will discover it by chance."
'System is there a way to discover the someone's power?'
[Is possible with other powers, but for the user in its current situation is not possible]
While we were talking, we arrived at the market… It was closed.
"We will have to enter by force, the alarm is useless anyway, and even if for some reason it's working I don't think the police will come. We don't know about other people, so when we get inside we have to be fast".
"Why don't we see if the back door is open maybe we can get inside from there."
I was already planning how to break in when Rose came up with a better idea, so we went to the back, there we found the back door open.
"Stay behind me" I entered quietly with Rose right following me closely.
We were in the warehouse, we went to the shelves through the service door and looked around to see if someone was inside.
Someone has been here before us, some shelves were empty, just like us, someone was looking for durable supplies.
"They probably left already" Rose said, while going near a shelf with just one battered can leave.
"Yes, they didn't leave much for us, we need to be careful, maybe we can take a couple of boxes from the warehouse and leave fast. Someone can come back at any moment".
"But those boxes are too heavy for us."
"Not if we use a shopping cart."
"But the carts are too noisy, what happens if someone hears us."
"Let's do this fast then… we need supplies, in a couple of days there is not going to be anything left."
We went back to the warehouse with a shopping cart each and looked for food boxes.
We filled 2 shopping carts with canned food and a lot of durable food, we also put water bottles, since the electronic devices aren't working the water supply probably will stop too. I didn't forget to get a couple of large bags of cat's food (Fish flavored) and tuna cans for Dante.
'Someone is here~' a voice in my head warned me.
I looked at Rose, she didn't do anything, so Dante probably just the warning to me.
"We need to hide."
Before receiving her answer, I took her hand, and we hid in a dark part of the warehouse. The place I chose was barely able to fit both of us so we
After a few seconds, I could feel Rose's heartbeats, and breathing speeding up. She was embarrassed, so I had to stay calm for her to not think that I was trying something else.
A footstep resounded across the warehouse.
"That son of a b***h "you can move faster go get some alcohol" if it weren't because he got that absurd ability a would have already killed him."
I put my index finger on my lips to be sure that Rose didn't make any sound.
"Wow, someone is getting a lot of supplies, too bad the order was to just get alcohol." I felt something wasn't right with him, and it became obvious when I heard him throwing out stuff from one of the shopping carts to fill it with alcohol.
Afterward, he left without even looking for us.

I ignored the notifications for now. And look around to make sure he left.
"That was odd."
I said thinking about what the guy said.
Rose took a couple of seconds to recover her breathing and calm down.
"How did you notice him??"
"Dante told me, I wonder if he is already far enough for us to leave this place."
When I looked back at rose I noticed she was in a kind of trance, it lasted a couple of seconds. Afterward, she became really weak and almost fell.
I helped her sit on the floor and look at her until she was recovered.
"What was that?".
"I saw him."
"Who?".
"The guy that just came in, he was running with the shopping cart really fast 2 blocks away."
"In that case, we need to move, maybe he will come back to get the supplies." I found another cart and filled it with the stuff that was on the floor, I put most of them in my cart, so Rose's cart wasn't too heavy.
We left the market and moved with the carts to her house, where G and Hope were already waiting for us. G took Rose's cart and put some things that he found in the house.
With Dante's help, we were sure that no one was following us or watching our movements.
When we arrive with the carts to the house, a heard I notification.
