My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death-Chapter 619 - The Boy And His Goat
-----
After the incident with Blackie, Frank felt surprised with himself, although he received basic help from the Ability he had acquired, he still had done most of the work himself, from attending the goat to helping the kid relieve (although Ruby also helped there), he had done a great deal of things in this little time.
Although it wasn't a fight, this felt like a slight challenge for him, but he surpassed it successfully.
Ding!
[You gained 100 Monster Pet Trainer EXP]
"Oh? I gained EXP out of this? And I need one thousand for it… I guess nine more instances? Well, that's going to be a slight pain to deal with, but I welcome the challenge." Thought Frank.
Arthurious decided to stay for a few more hours with Blackie, after two hours of resting, the little goat woke up and seemed rather happy to see his master, licking him all over the face.
"Blackie! Are you okay?" he cried.
"Meee!"
The little Blackie gave a cute cry and licked Arthurious, it seemed to love his master a lot.
Frank smiled at the scene as he felt a soothing feeling on his heart.
He had come to this world just to make profits, but he realized that there were also people here, living their own lives, and having their own problems.
It made him happy that he could change the life of someone here, even if a little bit, especially because Blackie was on the verge of dying.
However, a worry quickly emerged on his head, as he recalled what Arthurious had said…
"Arthurious… I don't really want to meddle with your family problems but… Why do your brothers bully your monster pet?" he asked.
Arthurious looked into the floor with a sorrowful look as he gently caressed Blackie's head as the goat ate some food and drank water.
"W-Well… Its complicated… They just… call him weak," he said.
"Just because of that they bully it?" wondered Frank.
"Its more like… family stuff… My siblings all have different mothers… I don't know how it goes but my mother once said they bully me because they want to show who has the greater talent to my father…" said Arthurious.
"I see… Well… That's… complicated." Sighed Frank.
"Hmm… If I bring Blackie back, he might get attacked again…" sighed Arthurious.
"But who will protect you then?" Asked Frank.
"T-They don't attack me… I guess if they see me without a monster pet, I might be let alone…" said Arthurious.
"Hmm…"
Frank seemed worried. Although he had only met the boy today, he had seen part of his abilities already, such as materializing items out of nowhere and more…
"Well, are you interested in purchasing a monster pet? I got a variety of eggs ready to hatch, you could get a secondary pet to cover your back, although it will be baby… we could leave it here while it grows and you take care of it every day as you come see Blackie…" said Frank. 𝑓𝔯𝑒e𝘸e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝚕.c૦𝙢
"B-But… wouldn't I be replacing Blackie?" asked Arthurious.
"No, monster pet trainers have a lot of monsters, right? You can't limit yourself to one, as much as you love your Blackie, you also have to get more friends to back you up and also help Blackie. I bet your siblings use various to gang on him, right? I noticed he was fairly strong." said Frank.
"Yeah…" sighed Arthurious.
"Then? Think about it, I will give you a discount if you want to purchase some eggs from me, but don't' feel pressured, its up to you. For now, Blackie will stay in here in my care, you can come visit him as much as you want." Said Frank.
"I see. Thanks… I will think about it, but I don't have much money now…" sighed Arthurious.
"That's fine, relax… By the way, isn't it a bit late? Won't your parents get worried?" asked Frank.
"B-But I want to stay with Blackie… He always sleeps with me in bed." Said Arthurious.
"You two are very close… but you have to learn to also live without him, you know? Blackie is very strong; you also have to show him you're a strong person deserving of being his master." Said Frank.
"Ah…"
Arthurious looked at Frank who smiled back at him.
The young boy suddenly realized how right Frank was, realizing that he also had to be a strong person, and stop being so childish, even if a little bit…
Deep inside, Frank seemed like the elder brother figure he never truly had, as all his elder brothers hated him and never showed any affection to him.
The boy felt guided by Frank and his words, and smiled a bit.
"You're right… Thanks… Blackie, I will show you I am pretty strong too!" said Arthurious, the boy that seemed to be on his early teens seemed to be filled with conviction.
"Meeee~"
Blackie somehow understood what Arthurious said, and licked his face while rubbing his face over Arthurious face.
"Hehe… You make sure to rest and recover!" said Arthurious, petting his goat one last time.
"I-I will go now, I will come early tomorrow!" said Arthurious.
"Okay then, take care." Said Frank.
The boy quickly moved away and ran back home.
Frank squinted his eyes, worried that a young boy might get attacked in the night, even more as he was wearing quite the expensive clothes.
"Onyx, can you go protect him until he gets back home? Go into his shadow." Said Frank.
"Groar! (Okay!)" 𝑓𝓇𝑒𝑒𝚠e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝑙.com
The Dragon of Darkness quickly grew smaller in size, and suddenly jumped over the shadows of the night, swimming through them and following the boy from behind without the boy realizing.
Frank sighed in relief as he looked at them go.
He moved back to his shop as he decided that he should close now that it got pretty late, however, another person entered the shop, a brow-haired girl with braids, and emerald eyes.
"Hello…" she said. The girl began to inspect the entire place nervously…
