"Tesla-san, don't come so suddenly every time. You are frightening my guards, jamun." Neptune said with an embarrassing smile.
Tesla laughed and said "sorry Neptune. I will try to not scare you next time."
Neptune and Otohime smile. Otohime came beside Tesla and asked excitedly "Tesla-San, are you cooking again?"
Tesla looked at her and said, "do you only miss my food?" Tesla acted hurt and sat on the ground as he made circles on the floor and said "no one misses me anymore."
Neptune looks at Tesla speechlessly. He gave him a poker face. All the guards try hard to not laugh seeing his bad acting.
Otohime didn't see that. He patted his brood shoulder with her small hand which looked funny and said "it's not like that, I miss you too."
Neptune could only shake his head. His wife is too kind-hearted. Neptune looked at Tesla and said, "don't make her sad anymore, Jamun."
Tesla stood up and said, "okay, let's go, I will make special dishes today."
The guards drool hearing him. For the first time, Otohime acted selfishly. She grabbed Tesla's hand and said "you guys can eat after I finish."
Neptune laughs and joins Tesla and his wife at the dining table.
….
After an hour Tesla came out with lots of food with him. Neptune and Otohime wait for the food on the dining table.
Tesla looked at them and said, "I finally finished cooking."
A few minutes later a food eating contest started in the royal dining hall. It doesn't look Royal anymore.
Two of Neptune's sons also join the dining table. As for the third, he is not old enough to eat these foods.
Neptune looks at the dining table and everyone in his family and feels warm. The once-proud general is now more of a father.
He looks at Tesla and remembers some distant past memories. The time he spent with Roger. He was also a free spirit like him.
"Are you not gonna eat the meat?" Tesla said as he grabbed the meat from Neptune plates. Neptune quickly came out of his thoughts and grabbed the meat and said "of course, I will."
He pulls the meat from Tesla's hand and stuffs it in his mouth, afraid that Tesla or his wife will snatch it.
…..
After the food, Tesla decided to tour around Fishman island.
Tesla walks and looks here and there. Though Fishman doesn't like humans, that is not the case for every Fishman. Besides, Neptune has already informed everyone that Tesla is his guest.
Tesla was walking on the road when he saw a girl or mermaid taller than him sitting in a small stall with a crystal ball.
Tesla looks at her and his eyes immediately light up. He recognises her immediately. She is Madam Shyarly.
Tesla smiles and walks toward her. Shyarly looks at Tesla coming and smiles. Even though he is human, she doesn't dislike him.
"Welcome, would you like to know about your future?" She asked excitedly.
Tesla looks at her and smiles. He nodded his head and said "sure, can you tell me if I will be able to take you on a date?"
"D...Date, sorry I don't know about it." Shyarly face turned red. She is only 12 years old. How can she not be shy about this?
Tesla chuckled and said "of course, you don't. You haven't seen the future yet."
Shyarly looks at her left and right to see if anyone hears him or not. Seeing that no one is here she sighs in relief.
She looks at Tesla and her face turns red. She then said "my prediction doesn't work that way. I can see a small future but I can't tell the specific time."
Tesla said amusingly "then, should you tell this to your customers?"
"I don't want to con others," Shyarly said seriously.
Tesla nodded and said, "okay then see my future."
Shyarly nodded and took a deep breath. She then moves her hand over the crystal ball and tries to see Tesla's future.
As time passes she starts to get surprised then she starts to sweat and finally she sighs in defeat. She looked at Tesla and bowed and said "sorry dear customer, I can't see your future. It's even the first time for me."
Tesla looked at her confusedly and then thought to himself 'it must be because of my Origins and System.'
Tesla shook his head and said "it's okay. I can understand." He then looked at her and said "do you open a stall every day?"
Shyarly blink and nodded her head. Tesla smiled and said "okay then, I will take my leave. Let's meet another day and you can try to look again."
Shyarly eyes lit up and nodded her head hurriedly. She is also curious as, to why she can't see his future. This has never happened before.
Now hearing that he will let her see his future again, it makes her happy. She will try next time to see his future.
Tesla smiled and waved his hand as he said goodbye to her.
Shyarly looks at this strange human's back with curiosity in her eyes. She now really wants to know why she can't see his future.
….
Tesla returns to the Royal palace and spends some time with Neptune and Otohime.
Most of the time they talk about the dream of Otohime. Neptune only looked at Tesla as they both had the same thought in their eyes.
'Humans are nothing but greedy creatures.'
After the chat, Tesla said good to Otohime and Neptune and returned to his home.
