Chapter 27 - Business trip

As it was still the weekend, and the celebration ended quite late everyone is still in bed except for the staff who is currently preparing for brunch. Xyleria who is currently in the locked room was awake, "KI, have you completed your learning to upgrade the security software?". KI who was running programs, "I am about 80% done deep learning, by the end of today I should be done".

Xyleria who was looking at the analyzed data of the rock frowned. The numbers are off the chart, and the x-ray and energy detector showed that there is another material inside of the rock. Xyleria took the rock to the workshop side in the room and started carving the rock out. After a while, a blue crystal rock appeared after grinding. Xyleria looked at the stone and felt some sort of link which cause her green eye to glow, She ran several checks and it seems to be safe to touch.

"Sir, you might want to ask the priest that your parents met. He might have some clues, it was already weird that he gave you ear cuff." Said KI. Xyleria, cleaning up the workshop, looked at a camera in the room and said "You were watching us yesterday? Get me the priest's location". KI began running through documents and avoided being detected by City G's security system.

Downstairs, everyone was having their breakfast except Xyleria who was busy grinding rock and KI gave the Do not Disturb sign. Grandfather Einhart who was eating his porridge ordered Butler Kei to serve Xyleria's brunch to her. After Butler Kei left, the 3 men and 2 kids looked at each other. William spoke first and said, "Grandfather, I have a business trip coming up. I would not be able to bring Liam along, could I ask that you take care of my son?".

Grandfather Einhart puts his spoon down, and said: "Ask my granddaughter or you can ask Mr. Tachibana here to help you take care". Ryuu who was feeding his son also said "I can help take care of your son, with Xyleria help". Xyleria who was carrying a tray of food down the stair heard their conversation, added: "I don't think I will be free too, I also need to go on a trip somewhere. So, Grandfather please help take care of the kids".

The dining table was silent, while in Xyleria's mind she was thinking about whether she made the right decision, after a while, Sora and Liam grabbed hold of her pants. Looking at the kids that have a face that says 'are you going to abandon us again?'. She sighs and said, "Grandpa, I am going to see the priest do you want to come along? You and Ryuu can take care of the kids". Upon hearing what Xyleria said Ryuu was surprised that he was mentioned, and said: "When are you going? I have work to attend."

Xyleria who was patting both kid's heads then said "Oh, your supervisor never mention to you that you are going to City G for the ELZ's new flagship phone promotion?". Ryuu shakes his head, not knowing as his supervisor did not mention anything about a business trip. "Well, now you know". Said Xyleria who is currently eating her brunch. Grandfather Einhart agreed with the plans for next week and breakfast ended, William took his son upstairs to change while Sora was napping on the sofa.

Xyleria then asks Ryuu to wait for her in her study room as she has something to ask. Ryuu who was waiting in the study room looked around and saw different kinds of books on the shelves. He sat on the couch that was in the room and saw a book on religions.

Xyleria entered the room and locked the door. Ryuu who saw Xyleria lock the room door was startled and froze in place. Xyleria placed a box on the table in front of Ryuu and dragged a chair to sit opposite Ryuu. "Regarding the rock, I got some data out of it. You can look over the stack of paper on your right beside the box."

Ryuu went from startled to puzzled in seconds, grabbed the stack of paper, and read it. Xyleria then explain that she grinds down the exterior and a light blue rock appeared, she then opens the box and showed Ryuu what was the result after grinding, she said she may be able to send them back but the downside was the conditions that need to be met. Ryuu had explained that the rock just shined out of nowhere, which means they have no clues, which is why Xyleria is going to meet the weird priest. Ryuu understands her point and was grateful that soon he and his son can find a way home. After discussing, Xyleria left the study room and went to the locked room to safe keep the rock.

Ryuu came out of the study room and saw his son dressed up and asked "Why are you dressed up, are you going somewhere?". Sora was hugging his father's legs said "Hurry get dressed! We are going to an amusement park! Uncle William said we are all going. Uncle Eli is also coming with us". William who stepped out of his room said "Since I will be going on a business trip soon, I am going to bond with my son as much I could before I go. You might as well too."
