Chapter 7 - Contracts.

"This cunning old man..." The fat man, who had been staunchly opposed to Kai throughout that time, finally began to display a scared appearance as the older man made his move.

He hurriedly attempted to speak to Kai, but the older man was one step ahead of him. Kai received a lot of positive feedback from the elder Windhelder, who eventually agreed to work with him under specific terms and conditions.

Naturally, Kai was not particularly opposed to the idea and agreed to work with the elder; however, it was his sister Seraphina who drafted the specifics of the employment contract.

After all, Kai's ability to deal with various significant threats to the town and its development was granted by Seraphina's power, regardless of what else was going on.

"Okay!!!" Seraphina, when the deal with Elder Windhelder was finished, the old man once again turned to face Kai and grinned before returning to his seat.

On the other hand, Kai was listening to their agreement and had a general idea of what both of them had agreed to.

"Adventurer, huh! They are, indeed, the foundation of our development, and their presence will provide our town with a new perspective and source of revenue."

Kai town, which is on the outskirts of the kingdom, has a fatal flaw in the form of the death forest on the east, from which the threat of monsters looms over the town on a daily basis.

It was also because of this that Kai wanted to bring adventurers from other cities to help them hunt down monsters, and they greatly benefited from this deal.

Given that this town is located on the edge of a forest, they will be able to replenish their supplies from the town; the only thing they are missing is a guild that could give them quests to hunt magical beasts.

"Hmm. They will provide quest from this place and will establish the restaurant and center that can provide quest directly from their company needs."

With the other person's eyes, it might have appeared that the elderly man was really helping Kai, but to Kai, it appeared that the man had already entered the money heist.

This made Kai laugh quietly to himself.

While this was going on, Kai noticed a significant increase in the number of people who were willing to help them.

He had to deal with them for about 7 to 8 hours before everyone began to leave the mansion with a satisfied expression, with the exception of one group.

"It looks like we have enough funds, and the things will be teleported sooner due to Old Man Windhelder."

Even though Seraphina had been handling adult matters for some time and was still a young girl, she appeared happy despite the fact that she was a little naive due to her age.

"But this is also alright for the time being; after all, this town is only a foothold, and I will definitely get my family land, which should originally belong to me and my sisters."

Kai's original host never had that kind of ambition; for present Kai, getting back that land was not that hard, so he had already started to prepare anything needed for it.

Kai, the original, lost his family, was abandoned to die in the desolate town in that manner, and even mysteriously perished.

Kai, the original, is undoubtedly descended from his family's original members.

On the other hand, the three original sisters, who weren't even related to him by blood, still treated him like a beloved brother and were experts in their fields.

Kai was adamant about giving the three of them a life that even the princess of the richest kingdom would not be able to provide for them because he felt that they all deserved the best and nothing less.

After the evening meeting and all the required work had been completed, Kai was taken back to his room, but this time all three of his sisters were present with him.

They were all exhausted and wanted to rest with him, so two of them stole Kai's bed while sister Amara was comfortable on the sofa.

She did, after all, have the least amount of work among the four of them, was still quite active, and only wanted to chat with them.

"You guys can have the bed; he will be fine on my lap pillow." As she began to commend Kai for his diligence, she pulled him to sleep on her lap after giving it some thought.

Kai took a nap, collected his first batch of herbs, and instructed his sister Seraphina to provide him with a cool room with minimal noise for the time being.

Kai made the decision to practice his alchemy skill, which he had learned from the system, since he was already full from lunch and had plenty of energy to spare.

As he was brought to a silent place, that was especially remolded for his alchemic work, which surprised Kai as he looked at his sister, who looked a little proud of her decision.

"Do you like it?" When Seraphina sensed Kai's gaze, she turned to face his surprised expression and smiled at her choice to rearrange the room for his work.

"It will be the first time that you will be working on this project, so do not feel burdened by the spoilt material, alright!"

Seraphina discovered from her master that if a potion maker is a master in rank, they usually only produce 2 to 3 potions out of 50 or more ingredients, and the remaining supplies would spoil.

This gave Seraphina a general idea of how difficult it was to make potions.

She advised Kai to take it slowly as a result, but she was unaware that there is no way a potion could go wrong if one has the perfect formula to work with and the proper control.

"Right! I will try my best, big sister Seraphina." Seraphina smiled as she kissed his cheeks and then moved out of the room after hearing Kai's response, leaving Kai feeling a little embarrassed to look at her back as she ran away from the room.

When Seraphina entered the sitting room, the entire room's energy changed, and a visitor seated on his seat watched her enter. Along with an ice-cold expression on her face, which was totally opposite to the warm smile that she had a moment ago before entering the room.

"Mr. Windhelder, it is right, but I am sure we had already discussed that thing before, and you know how hard it will be for me to get it from my master."

She commanded the gate to be closed as she turned to face the guards on Windhelder's left and then the guard next to her.

"Hmm, that is true, but I am also in a hurry given that it is something a person of high standing is asking for at the moment." Windhelder was asking with great emotion as he looked at Seraphina, who could only shake her head in helplessness.

Kai returned to the alchemy room, finally gathered all of the ingredients for the potion's preparation, and then closed his eyes to sense the mana in the area, which was discernible thanks to his improved [alchemist] skill. Given that Kai's true self never possessed the ability to feel mana, this talent acts as a medium to control and sense its presence, which is another factor contributing to his sense of insecurity.

"These skills are godly; they can make use of my mana-less body and give me the skill to change into one that can suit any profession in any world." As Kai began to feel the mana, he grinned. He then opened his eyes to see the barrel containing the herbs and purifying water necessary to make the regeneration potions.
