Victor continued his narration again "They invited many experts from other places, but none of them could root out the problem. When the case got media exposures, it spread like rapid-fire, and attracted the attention of many other planet's medical institutions. But all in vain,"
"So, where is she now?" intervened Aryan again.
"She is in K Foundation's VIP ward," answered one of the serving boys behind Victor and started sobbing. Aryan couldn't see him crying and asked Homia to comfort him.
As ordered by Aryan, he took the man outside for fresh air and private talks. Now back to the conversation, Aryan wanted to ask about this VIP ward. Before he opened his mouth, Yoshino intervened and started speaking, "Lil Aryan for your information K Foundation is under Aizawa family."
"Yes, it is," Victor agreed.
"What?!!"
"Yes, and its owner is none other than you dear Granny Kotori."
"Nani!! Granny's company then?!!"
"Yes, and she is the one who provided us the help in time of our need in exchange of a deal."
"Deal, what sort of deal?" inquired Aryan.
"Deal to find her a planet."
Aryan "....."
Yoshino "..."
"What?!! Why that look on your faces?" Victor questioned them.
"Victor San you work for any real estate company?!! Never knew, ha ha ha hahaha".
"Nuuuuuuuuuu Lil Master, I am a full-time chef It's my cultivation technique, Fate Diversion. She asked me to use my cultivation technique and pin down the planet location where she can break through to the Seventh Stage."
"Oh, so you are the person Master Kotori was talking about, What a coincidence, we all are interconnected with each other."
"Sigh...I signed a contract with her at that time, that I should have read properly, and ended up getting dragged here."
Aryan "..."
Yoshino "She tricked you, right?"
Victor "....."
"Oh, come one, we are buddies in getting tricked then."
Aryan "...."
Victor "....."
"Oh, come on, don't make those faces. She tricked me many times in the past. I know the pain of getting scammed and tricked by her, fufufufu."
Aryan "....."
'Just what in the world is Granny Kotori doing?!! Scamming and tricking that many people and making them work for the family!!'
"What?!! who is our new comrade," intervened a voice. It was Homia with the serving boy behind him. Upon finding out another person got tricked by Granny Kotori, his delights were crossing bounds. Seeing the laugh on his face, Aryan was getting confused. 'Ehhh… Shouldn't they be sad or frustrated about getting tricked!! Why are they happy over it?!!'
Aryan looked at Homia and started telepathy with him.
"Hello hello, Homia San, can you hear me?"
Homia was startled by the sudden sound in his head and showed an alertness flash in his eyes. Looking at him, Yoshino started another telepathy with Homia and asked him about the sudden change of the reaction.
"Oh, no its nothing, Lil Master Aryan contacted me with telepathy, that startled me, nom."
"Oh, okay, talk with him, tell me later what he asked"
"Okay, nom," he ended his telepathy with Yoshino. One thing that was unknown to both of them was Aryan was prying into their telepathy and listened to their conversation. It's not that he wanted to, it's just that he had developed a habit of prying on others talk.
"Cough, Homia San. sorry for startling you, are you fine now?"
"Nom, Nom. How did you know it startled me?!!"
"Ahhh…. How did I know? Nice question you have got there," Aryan was sweating buckets on what to reply. He blabbered out something that he shouldn't have. 'Ahhh, what should I do? What should I reply? What should I reply?? Fooker Seven gib me script, gib me, quick.'
"Leave it, I must have shown freaked out expression on my face," and dismissed his previously asked question.
Aryan took a sigh of relief and continued his telepathy again. "Hello, hello, Homia San. Can you hear me?" Am I audible??"
"Oh, yes. Lil Master, you are clear and audible. So what do you wanna ask?"
"Ahh…. That. My granny has tricked you into working for her right??"
"Yes, she played underhanded tricks and made us sign a contract to work for her till I have life."
Aryan "..."
"So, what's about it, nom?"
"Ehhhh….. How to say. I mean, aren't you angry or frustrated that she tricked you into slavery? You seem happy about it!! Not a bit of frustration nor sadness is visible on your face!!!"
"Nom nom, pffft. Why should I show sadness or frustration over it?!! Peoples out there are dying to get yours family slavery contract. And god knows how but I got it. I am happy with it."
Aryan "..."
"That's what you wanted to ask, nom??"
"Ho-mi-a San are you one of those mass-o-chest?" asked Aryan in a serious voice.
Homia "....."
"I think you are one. Homia San."
"Nom….Nom…. Mass-O-Chest!!! You mean masochist?!!!"
"They are the same thing anyway, so you are one."
"Nom, nom, nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu I am not."
"Really?!!"
"Yes, really, your family's slave contract is something that everyone on this planet can sign with eyes closed."
Aryan "..."
He remained silent for some time before blurting out, "Am I living on a mass-o-chest planet??"
Yoshino "What?!"
Homia "What??!!"
Victor "What??!!!"
"Ah, never mind," said Aryan and diverted everyone's attention towards their current topic.
But at the same time, he was thinking, 'With Seven as the creator anything is possible in this storyline, a planet filled with mass-o-chest may sound absurd in other novels, but on this….' a tingling sensation passed throughout his body.
