Chapter 52: A Quiet Day.
*2 days later*
With Emi's mission being done, Ray finally has some leisure time.
There was still the deadline of Aiko's mission, but rushing it too much wouldn't be good, so Ray decided to take it slow and just progress naturally.
He has seen the desire in Aiko's eyes, so he only needs to be steady and not messing up the situation.
Ray decided to use this leisure time to deepen his bond with the spirit beasts. He was too busy recently and hasn't got enough time to play with his two cute little spirit beasts.
Chongky just being Chongky, hops around with a glimmer in his eyes every time Ray lets him out. To the newly born spirit beast, the world is an interesting thing to him, so he would always be so enthusiastic every time he goes out.
Schwarz on the other hand was pretty docile. She likes to spend her day laying on Ray's lap. She didn't even mention the catnip recently, as she seems to cherish Ray more than the catnips.
*Meow*
" Okay-okay, I know Schwarz."
Schwarz really likes it when Ray rubs her fur with his hand. She purr in enjoyments land closed her eyes, appearing like she was sleeping.
Of course, Ray didn't hate this kind of peaceful life. He initially didn't want to get dragged into this world and only wanted to enjoy his life as a normal high school student.
Oh, speaking of the devil. Ray had noticed that Aina has been pretty quiet too, recently. She didn't issue any kind of mission and just vanish like she wasn't even here at the beginning.
Not that Ray would complain though, but somehow he still feels something was missing when Aina disappeared.
[ Hoho, it seems the host has been missing Aina eh?]
*Sigh* She really came at the most unexpected time.
" Well, you have been with me since my first day, so missing you gave me a strange feeling."
Ray didn't hide any of his feelings. He knows that Aina could read his mind if she wanted to, and Ray's trust in Aina has increased significantly during their time together.
[ Well, Aina is glad that the host put so much trust in Aina. But please be aware that Aina would not give any reward to the host for that.]
Ray didn't argue and continue to chat with Aina. Even though she was annoying, Ray was glad that she was there for him.
*Boing-Boing*
Ray was still chatting with Aina when Chongky suddenly came to him and brought a strange object with his shadow hands.
* Dropping the object*
Chongky put down the object in front of Ray and put on a smug expression, appearing like he wanted praise from Ray.
* Boing-Boing*
Ray chuckled at Chongky's expression. He hadn't look at the item brought by Chongky, but he knew it should be pretty good since Chongky was really proud of it.
He woked up Schwarz from his lap and decided to play together with them.
" Okay Kids, this time let's play some games from my old world."
Ray stood in front of the 2 spirits beast, acting as an instructor. While the two spirit beasts were pretty excited at the game they were about to play.
Chongky put up an expression like a sergeant that was ready to heed every commander's command, while Schwarz, even though still pretty annoyed that his afternoon nap time with Ray was interrupted, still looked forward to the game.
Ray took a deep breath and started to clap his hands.
" If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands"
" If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands"
" If you're happy and you know it, then your face will surely show it"
" If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands"
The little game was pretty enjoyable for the two spirit beasts. They jumped around and clapped their hand like little kids playing around.
It was only until the last verse which Ray was going to use the item Chongky brought that…
" If you're happy and you know it, then I will give you this item."
" If you're happy and you know it, the C4 is…
Eh…
"C4?"
"Hieeeeeeeeee"
Ray just realized that the thing Chongky brought was not a plaything, instead, it was a bomb with a timer still ticked on.
Chongky looked at Ray playing with the item he brought jumped around more happily. He was elated that Ray seems to like his present.
*Boing-Boing*
" Eh, a present for me?"
*Boing-Boing*
" You said that this thing was similar to the digital alarm that you broke last time, and you want to compensate me?"
* Boing-Boing*
Ray could only shake his head helplessly. A few days ago, Chongky broke his digital alarm when he was hopping around the room, and Chongky seems to feel guilty about that.
Ray was happy that Chongky gave him a present, but this C4 bomb is too much for him.
[ DING!!! A new mission is issued to the host.]
[ Find the owner of the C4 bomb and solve their terrorist group before another bomb explodes.]
[ Reward: 10 system points, 1 random spirit beast equipment box.]
[ Penalty: Another bomb will explode in the supermarket nearby and will have more than 50 casualties.]
.
"*Sigh* I should have seen this coming."
Even though Ray said that he actually wasn't that annoyed by this mission. Instead, he was pretty excited about the reward of this mission.
From the last mission, he has got a random spirit beast equipment box. However, he hasn't used the equipment box yet since he wanted to wait for another one to pop out, so he could give his two spirit beasts their equipment at the same time.
Ray closed the mission tab and made a solid plan to finish this mission without any problem.
" Well, Chongky, Schwarz let's go. We have a new mission to solve."
*Boing-Boing*
"Meow"
With that, Ray and his two spirit beasts came out from their house and went to solve the mission.
