Chapter 5 - Helping Kai

Country A, city X, inside the highest tower in the city

"Nurarihyon, I already brought back the systems." Oni said, full of pride in himself.

"Are you sure that you brought back ALL of them?" asked Nurarihyon.

"Yes, of course!"

"Nurarihyon-sama, I have counted, all of the systems are here?" Yuki-Onna reported to Nurarihyon.

"Umm, bring them to Vault Z."

"Yes, sir!"

("I still have a bad feeling.") thought Nurarihyon.

Meanwhile, in another country, a black limousine drove to a palace. At the moment Patrick got off the car, there are two lines of servant formed up. The male servants are on his right, while the female ones are on his left.

"We greet Prince Patrick Aloysius Siegfried Silver, the little Sun of Dawn Empire. May God's blessing be with you always!"

Patrick then proceeded to the garden of the palace, where his grandmother was drinking tea.

"Ah, Patrick, you came back. Did you have fun? What have you learned?" asked his grandmother.

"Yes, I had fun. And I learned that country Z has many hot springs, which will benefit for our tourism industry . . . Finally, I found it tiring."

"Pat, can you stop being lazy?"

Patrick remembered the system's warning <

Patrick's grandma was surprised. Before, her grandson, Patrick never said he would try to improve. She was so happy that just after Patrick had left, she called her husband right away.

"I can't believe it, our Master is a prince." said Layla.

"Hey, I'm also a prince." said Dyrroth.

"Really, never thought of that possibility before!"

Dyrroth turned around, using his claws to attack Layla, who dodged the attack and used her rifle to shoot at Dyrroth.

Patrick walked back to his room, which was grand and had blue for its main theme color. He took off his clothes, put on a set of pajamas then lied down on his bed and slept. He was really tired after his school trip. Plus, so many things had changed just after the school trip.

***

At another district, where there are many Chinese-styled house.

Kent opened the door to one house and stepped inside. Sitting at the front yard was his mother, Mrs. Li.

"So you lost the compass and got its back from your friend, huh?"

"Ye . . . yes, mother!"

"How can you be so careless? That compass is a powerful artifact passed down in our family since 3rd century B.C, if it is fallen to evil hands, the consequences will be grievous. Have you checked whether it was damaged?"

"No, mother . . . "

"Then why don't you check it now?"

"Yes..."

Kent took the compass out and began checking it. Suddenly, Mrs. Lin snatched it out of her son's hands.

"It seems like I have not trained you enough. Can't you smell it?"

"Smell what . . . wait, this smell . . . a demon?!" Kent realized what the smell was after concentrating more.

"Is it really true that your friend gave this back to you?"

"Yes..."

"What's his name?"

"Patrick Silver"

"Invite him to our house next time, ok?"

***

Three days later, school was assumed after the school trip.

Patrick sat beside Kent. However, today he saw that his friend was not like his usual joyous face.

"What's with the worried face? You look like you are in a dilemma."

"Ah, Patrick, are you free this evening?"

"Yes, I have all the time in the world. Why do you ask?"

"My mom..."

Before Kent finished what he wanted to say. Kai appeared and asked: "Please go with me, Patrick. We need to talk."

"Ok..." Patrick agreed and followed Kai outside the classroom.

("How rude!") Kent said in his head.

***

Outside the classroom

"So what can I help you with?" asked Patrick.

Kai gulped, then he looked around before he whispered to Patrick's ear: "Can you lend me some money?"

("Something is definitely wrong. A dependable class monitor like Kai would never borrow money in normal circumstances.") thought Patrick.

"Why?" asked Patrick.

"The class fund...well...I accidentally lost it."

"WHAT!"

"Don't be too loud!"

"Ok, I will lend you the money. Account number, please?"

PONG PONG (message sound)

"Thanks, Pat. I promise I will pay back." Kai said before he returned to the classroom."

"Definitely suspicious, right?" Dyrroth said in Patrick's head.

Patrick then went to the toilet.

<>

"Investigate Kai's situation for me!"

"Ok, but I need his address first."

"Just go out first. I will read it on the class list."

Patrick returned to the classroom, he found the class list in his bag.

"Pat, my mom..."

"Wait a minute, Kent!"

"Ah, here it is."

("Now, how can I tell Dyrroth? The class is going to begin soon so I can't go find him and then go back again. He is summoned and is not in the System's dimension, so it's unlikely that I can communicate with him.")

<>

Patrick took out his phone, clicked on the app. He saw three contacts in the message function, one is the System itself, second is Dyrroth, third is Layla.

[Kai's address is...] Patrick messaged Dyrroth.

Dyrroth immediately received the message in his head like telepathy.

"Alright, Master, I will investigate your pitiful friend's circumstance."

Then Dyrroth ran to the address Patrick sent.
