Magic Shop System

  8:30 P.M., Heaven's Door.

Kadyn chewed a bite from a chicken leg and turned towards the others. "Tomorrow the shop will be closed," he said.

 "Wow!" everyone exclaimed in happiness.

 Kadyn looked at them and then said, "Except the restaurant."

 "What, no!"

 They voiced their disappointment. They thought everyone would be able to have some fun together. Who would have thought Rayna won't be able to join them.

 Kadyn rolled his eyes at their behaviour. "I said the shop will be closed." He eyed them one by one. "I didn't say there is no work to do." Looking at their confused faces, Kadyn explained, "I will issue a few missions. You all have to choose at least one of them."

 "What kind of missions?" Elora asked.

 "You will know in the morning," Kadyn said. "It isn't just for tomorrow, this schedule will follow on every Sunday from tomorrow onwards." He looked at Rayna and said, "Though I said the restaurant won't be closed, it still depends on you. If you desire to go on a mission like everyone else, you can close the restaurant."

 "I am good," Rayna replied. She didn't know what kind of missions he was going to assign, but she knew there would be fighting and maybe bloodshed that she didn't like.

 Kadyn nodded and returned his gaze towards others. "There will be two forms of missions: one is a group mission and another is an individual mission. Though remember that the group mission might not be any less difficult than the individual mission. So choose wisely, and don't die."

 "Wh-a-at about me?" Melvona stammered, grease from the meat was still on her face.

 Kadyn looked at her and smiled. "You will help sister Rayna tomorrow."

 Though she had become a lot stronger ever since she joined them. She was still an Elementary Rank 9 fire mage. She was still far away from reaching Rank 1. Furthermore, she was just a little kid, Kadyn didn't want her to experience too much hardship; she had already experienced a fair share of it. Though he wanted all of them to become strong, it wasn't time for her, yet.

 After that Kadyn wiped his hands with a napkin and stood up. Rayna and Khrom exchanged glances and then stood together with him, saying, "We have something to talk to you."

 "Oh," Kadyn eyed them and then nodded. "Alright, let's go into my room."

 Rayna caressed Kove's head and said, "I will be back in no time, honey."

 ——

 "So what's the matter?"

 Khrrom and Rayna exchanged a glance. It was Khrom who spoke, "Actually, uh, we wanted to tell you that we-we, actually, aren't husband and wife."

 "What?" Kadyn looked at them with wide eyes. Then said, "But didn't you tell me that you married when I was in a coma in Clacton Village?"

 "We did because we had no choice," Rayna sighed.

——

After talking with Khrom and Rayna, Kadyn realised the truth of the matter. It seems they didn't marry; it was just an act. All of this is because of Kove. It seems when Kove came here; it was Khrom who treated him the best. He played with the child and went out from time to time(everyone knew he was trying hard to suppress his grievance, and Kove made it easier for him to do that). 

However, as the child spent more time with Khrom, he started to treat him like his father. He started to call him 'father'. When Rayna stopped him, he stubbornly stopped eating. He fell ill and insisted on Khrom becoming his father. Rayna and Khrom both refused, but Kove didn't back down, he continued to refuse to eat, and he became weaker and weaker each day.

Left with no choice, both of them decided to put on an act. In front of Kove, they acted as husband and wife and would say a few sweet words to each other from time to time.

Kadyn didn't know what to say after learning the truth. He had always thought that Khrom had moved on too fast. After all, he had experienced such trauma in his life. People would take a long time to move on and some might never walk out of that shadow. He shook his head.

"We are sorry," Khrom said. "We couldn't tell you sooner because we didn't know how to explain it, and then many things started to come one after another. All of us became busy."

"It's alright," Kadyn said. "But how are you going to solve this issue later? In order to solve the situation don't make it more complicated."

"We understand," Rayna replied. "We will think about something. Kove is too young. He will understand when he is a little mature."

"Alright," Kadyn nodded. "I won't interfere in your private life. But if you need my help, don't hesitate. Don't think of yourself as just employees of the shop. You are my friends. I trust you, so I expect the same from you."

8:00 A.M., Heaven's Door.

"Alright, the Mission Board is ready," Kadyn said. "Take a look, and decide what kind of mission you want to choose."

As he spoke a window appeared in the air, in front of everyone. There were many missions available for them to choose from. There were herbs gathering missions, ore gathering missions. There were even beasts capturing missions available. 

Cecelia looked at the board and frowned. "Though all of these places come into the range of Ceston Empire, still, aren't they too far away? We will waste many days just by travelling."

Others also realise the peculiarity of the matter, frowning.

"Don't worry," Kadyn smiled. "You won't waste any time."

"If you say so," Cecelia said and stared at the board. "I will go to the Glovergonie Highlands."

Kadyn stared at the board and nodded. "Glovergonie Highlands are on the eastern side of the Ceston Empire. There is a huge number of Common Rank ores in this place. Even Uncommon Rank ores could be found if someone is lucky. 

"But be careful, though it is a land of treasure, it is also filled with all kinds of dangers. Remember, we don't need the entire mine of ore, but just a chunk and that's it.. It is an individual mission so you can only depend on yourself. Next!"
