Chapter 14 - Investments

"Cy! Breakfast is ready…" Cyril's Aunt called for the young man after arranging the table.

It has been a long while since they've eaten breakfast together. She seemed to be lively now that there is someone here with her in the house.

"Aunt… You woke up so early?" Cyril came out of his room. He had just woken up and was planning to go to the bathroom.

He also noticed that there is a sumptuous meal prepared. Cyril smiled widely after seeing this.

It smelled really good and he wanted to eat already. Her aunt would never think of cooking this much if she's only alone in this house so he felt moved about her gesture.

Although he was working at a diner before, he was unable to eat proper meals and neglected his diet. However, after seeing the nutritious breakfast on the table, he felt glad going back here.

"It's just today. I have an appointment with my suppliers later." Bonnie replied to her nephew as she sat on her chair.

"An appointment?"

"Yes… They are selling me new types of flowers. They said that they are harmless flowers found in a low-class Arcane World. I received some photos and they look pretty! I want to get them as quickly as possible." She explained with an excited tone.

"Hmmm… I see." Cyril nodded before heading to the bathroom to wash his face.

He's trying to recall whether there's something about the flowers being brought out of the Arcane World.

However, he couldn't remember anything related to it. Anyway, it means that it should be safe and he didn't have to worry.

Apparently, the Arcane World doesn't just have Magical Beasts, Artifacts, and Demons. Any Awakened that could enter this world can try to take out anything.

However, it doesn't mean that all of the things inside the Arcane World can be brought out. There are many times that if an Awakened tried to bring out gems, beasts, plants, fruits, or even dirt, they would just vanish into thin air or perhaps turned into dust.

This year, the researchers were still unable to determine the pattern of things that can be taken out of the Arcane World. At the moment, they are still just randomly taking some things. It doesn't matter what it is as long as it can exist in the real world, the researcher would be interested in it and will study them carefully.

The flower that will be sold to his aunt is probably something that was approved by the Awakened Association to be distributed.

'Ahh… That's right.'

After washing a bit, he inquired to his aunt.

"Aunt, are you sure it's legal and approved by the Association? We can't take something that hasn't been studied by the researchers yet."

"Of course, don't worry. It was confirmed that it's safe and can be used as decoration. It's even safe to eat but you won't get any nutrients. Hmm… The flower is called wintercrest… Here, have a look." The lady then showed the displayed picture on her mobile phone.

Cyril looked at the blue flower with a yellowish stem on the phone. It has a sky blue gem at the middle similar to a drop of ice crystal. This is probably the reason why they called it with that name.

'Hmm… I think I've seen this before.' Cyril pondered. It's not surprising to find it familiar considering that he came from the future, but since he couldn't remember exactly, this flower was probably not that important.

"It looks pretty. I'm sure that it will sell well." The young man can only say as he decided to start eating their breakfast.

"Really? I knew it! I hope that I could get a lot of them. The only problem is that it doesn't have any scent at all." His aunt muttered the last part.

"Huh?"

Cyril finally remembered something after hearing that part.

'Blue flower without a scent? Ahh!'

Three years from now, there will be a piece of big news about a certain flower that can be used to concoct a lesser healing potion!

Apparently, there will be a High-Class Arcane World that will be owned by the Silent Crawlers where they will find intelligent Forest Elves living peacefully!

These Elves will identify the current wintercrest flowers as life lace flowers! It is the main ingredient to create such a helpful potion that would help mankind to cure tons of illnesses!

"Auntie! Do your best to get as much as you can! You can do it!"

Cyril immediately encouraged his aunt which surprised the latter a bit. Anyway, that's what she was planning all this time so she just agreed to him.

The young man's mood was lifted as he ate his breakfast… This is a good start for him.

For this day, he decided to list all the things that can perhaps allow them to earn tons of money or things that they could invest in for the future.

For now, he doesn't want to rely on Xagan's power. He wanted to use his years of acquired knowledge to help his aunt.

That's right, he's planning to do this until the day of his Awakening.
