“Good afternoon, Master!”

Just as Erick stopped his bike, the large gate opened and two voices greeted him with enthusiasm.

.....

“Ah! Afternoon, Kazahito Kazue and Risa Yamana, how are you both!” Erick greeted and smiled seeing them.

Erick did give the pair a second life, he made a pair of androids for them as the body needed for their soul to revive in the world.

This pair are cousins and had an accident in a car crash, Erick at that time was looking for a way to make a pair of androids and happened to need a pair of souls so he on a whim ended up giving them a second life.

“We are fine, Master!” Pair replied to Erick with a smile hanging on their face.

Erick made sure that they have way better bodies than any human presence can have so he gave them everything like they can reproduce and have their emotions, also they became supernaturalists after he bathes their bodies with the stardust energy.

“Your progress is halted for some reason. Did you both do the homework I left last time!” Erick asked looking at their strength which they did not even try to hide, both of them are 2-star martial artists.

Erick said that because of their talent they should have broken through into 3-Star martial artists by now. So there could be only one problem, that they are being lazy.

Kazue and Risa, both have awkward smiles on their faces and look somewhere else, not daring to face Erick’s eyes.

Erick sighed looking at their behaviour, it’s not the first time he caught them but they need to increase their strength as there isn’t much left when he will start to travel into other dimensions or worlds.

After scolding them for a while Erick went to meet Aashi avoiding the eyes of office workers, directly to the top floor using the elevator where Aashi’s office is.

“Hello, Erick-san! Do you want me to inform the Boss about your presence?” A beautiful female attendant asked just as he reached the top floor and exited the elevator.

“Shhhh! Ashuka-chan, you don’t have to tell her and it’s a surprise visit so if you inform her then how can I surprise her?” Erick gestures to her with his finger on the lip as he tells her to keep it silent and calls her out in an intimate way to which Ashuka didn’t say anything about it, showing how friendly they are with each other.

“Okay, then I won’t, Erick-kun!” Ashuka smiled at Erick and sat on her sheet and gestured to him to enter freely.

“Alright, then I will be with your Boss for a while as I will be having lunch with her so don’t disturb me until I leave, Okay!” Erick showed her his package in which the bento is and asked Ashuka to guard the door for them to enjoy in the silence.

“Click!”

With a click, he opened the door and entered the office and then closed it behind him so nobody accidentally ruined their alone time together as it’s been a while since they ate together.

Interning the office, the first thing he notices is how clean the office is and well organised.

His vision stopped on the Aashi who was busy organising and signing the document for approval with her head buried and not paying attention to him a bit even though she noticed him long ago.

Why wouldn’t she, when she knows how he smells, and with the bond between them, they can both identify each other without looking at each other.

“Hey, Aashi! What’s making you so busy!” Erick asked, putting the package aside and sitting in front of her.

“Well, these are approval for things and because Master’s previous app idea has been very successful so we got more orders and for that, we need a lot more materials than we can produce our own. Also, I collaborated with Sister Hana in making a beauty cream, and have our six products on the market!” Aashi moved her gaze from the paper towards Erick and started to explain why she was busy.

“Okay...okay! Stop, for now, the lunch is getting cold and after we have lunch then we can talk about it?” Erick stopped her from talking more as he knows, once they started the talk it won’t end before one or two hours. By that time, lunch would be cold.

“So what Master got for lunch?” Aashi asked me to put away the papers and make space on the table.

“Well! On the way to the office, I visited the Kiminori couple who gave me their special made Sashimi!” Erick said and opened the bento.

“Mmnn! Just like always, it smells great and Umn~ also tastes great!” Aashi’s nose twitched, smelling the Fragment coming from the bento and taking a little nibble of it, it made her taste buds open up and swallow it whole in a gulp.

Erick smiled and also ate himself, well! Even though he can make the food taste like those food anime from his previous life, he doesn’t get many chances to make it nowadays.

Having their fill with delicious food, they both discussed the business and talked about some other things.

....

Far away from the mainland of Japan, the nature beasts were wreaking havoc. This place is on the China mainland very close to Hainan at the south China sea.

The island of Hainan has long been overrun by nature beasts, and now the south china sea coast is regularly attacked by them.

The evacuation has long been done, there aren’t any humans living there so the casualties were kept to a minimum. The supernaturalist, who came here to keep the nature beasts in check, does end up dying now and then. That’s how dangerous this area has become.

What a few grandmasters know from the attacks is that the nature beasts are too well organised so that means someone or something has been controlling them and attacking them with their help.

“Hahaha! These mother fuckers won’t even know how they died after I released my babies from Hainan Island which I have been preparing them for!” A man wearing a hoodie on his head covering his whole body with the black robe laughed and commented sarcastically looking over the struggling Supernaturalists from Fantasia Island.
