My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death-Chapter 625 - Another Day In The Shop

-----

"Oh! Miriam, welcome…"

Frank was greeted by the young Miriam, who had come last night wanting to buy a monster egg, but Frank couldn't let her buy it for such a cheap amount of money, so he ended deciding to give her a job and pay her, after all he needed more personnel, only himself wouldn't be enough.

Maybe Gwendolyn can help him out in the shop for now, but he also wanted employee's native of this world if possible. He ultimately wanted to leave things to his employees so he could explore the world without having to leave the shop closed, using a clone might do the trick though.

Miriam quickly walked inside.

"Mister I never asked your name before…" she said, as she entered the building once more and was suddenly greeted not only by the dragon girl, she saw the other day and the monsters, but there were now two fox-kin in front of her.

"Eh?"

Miriam looked at the tall and domineering-looking woman with bright red hair and sharp fox-like ears, alongside a long, fluffy, and seductive tail… she had an even sexier body as well, and in her arms there as an adorable boy of her same race, with multiple tails and bright blue hair, with shiny eyes.

"Is this the girl? Miriam?" asked Gwendolyn.

"Yeah… That's her. I meet her yesterday… I told her to come here for job… She's desperate for money… You see, she's an orphan and all…" said Frank.

"Oh, I see… Nice to meet you, dear. My name is Gwendolyn, but you can call me Gwen… This boy here is my son, Alex." Said Gwendolyn.

"N-Nice to meet you, miss… A-Are you somewhat related with mister?" asked the girl.

"Ah yeah, she's my wife, and that's my son…" said Frank.

"Huh? M-Mister married a beast folk?!" asked Miriam.

"Yeah… What's wrong with that?" asked Frank while raising an eyebrow.

"N-Nothing… S-So that boy is a hybrid…" said the girl.

"Hybrid!" said Alex, seemingly proud of that.

Frank nodded.

"Well, yes… kind of… My name is Frank by the way…" said Frank.

Frank noticed Miriam was surprised, she seemed to have expected to have Frank all for herself. In her scheming plans, she even planned to act nice so she could make him fall for her or something, like the tales she often read about commoner girls that had a rich aristocrat fall in love with them so they can escape poverty… she had wild imagination, because that was never happening…

However, despite the difference in age, which she didn't mind because Frank was too handsome, she had thought about such a possibility, after all when you meet someone so rich and nice, you really have to grasp him and not let him escape, right?

Well, he was already married and had a son…

"Uugh…"

She seemed defeated, even though Frank had only met her just a single day, he felt worried and asked what was wrong with her.

"What's happening? Are you okay?" he asked.

"Yeaaah… I am okay…" she sighed.

Frank raised an eyebrow in wonder, but quickly dismissed his concern as he decided to move on with things. Now that the girl was here, he might as well decide to introduce her to the place and tell her what she'll work for. Mostly, just an assistant and probably in attending client whenever they showed up.

"And these are the special rooms, you shouldn't enter to them, you'll regret it." said Frank.

He showed the doors to some strange rooms that Miriam passed through, these rooms emanated a lot of heat, or cold breeze, or even the smell of the sea… they were very strange, and she wondered what could be inside of them.

However, it was for the best to not show her as they would most likely bring a disastrous surprise for her whenever she stepped into one and she were to almost be burned by magma, or enter another and jump into salt water and more… thankfully, the system managed the entire house, so it won't let anyone enter without Frank's permission.

"Arthurious had yet to come so we should go around town, maybe do some shopping as well… By the way, you'll be doing mostly assistant job for the moment… I don't know how to make contracts and that sort of stuff, so I will have to look up for it in town." Said Frank.

"You don't know? But you're a rich aristocrat, aren't you?" asked Miriam.

"Well yes, but that doesn't make me all-knowing about this sort of things… And I am actually new in this City." Said Frank.

"H-Huh, alright then. I can guide you through the town if you want to!" Said Miriam.

"Oh my, that would be stupendous, we'll have a little guide with us." Said Gwendolyn with a gentle smile, petting Miriam's head.

Miriam smiled nervously, Gwendolyn held a certain pressure on her, and her silent child? as well…

"S-Sure! I would gladly…" said Miriam.

Aside from Frank's monster pets going around the house, there were two new additions to the group, these were he monsters pets that had made a contract with Gwendolyn and Alex, and they were exuding with great power.

Gwendolyn's monster pet was a small, red-colored fluffy rodent, a rat, in simple terms, with beautiful circular ears and shiny orange eyes, it was named Blazing Sun Rat. 𝘧𝗿ee𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞l.𝐜૦𝗺

And Alexander's monster pet was a small, blue-colored bird with many sparkling golden spots over its feathers that looked like stars, it also had a sharp beak, like a needle, it was named Starlight Hummingbird.

With these two companions with them, and Frank bringing Ruby with him alongside Ginseng, while leaving the rest guarding the closed shop, the group quickly made their way into the main town.

Opening the doors, Frank finally stepped into the wondrous world of Gaia, as the outside world greeted him and the Riverside City showed itself to him, it wasn't really that medieval-looking, as it was more like a good mix between modern society buildings scratching skyscraper and massive edifices, perhaps with an aesthetic similar to the 40's in Earth…
