Ars Promotes His Products

"What is it? You don't like sweets?"

Seeing Rea not touching the cake on the table, Ars suddenly remembered something.

"Maybe you like this better?"

With a snap of his fingers, a plate full of hydrangea leaves appeared on the table.

"Amazing. You know my favorite food."

Instead of being surprised by the appearance of a plate from nothing, Rea was more surprised by the fact that the man in front of her knew her favorite food. Then, she picked up a leaf and ate it without hesitation.

"There's nothing I don't know about you, Miss Rea. I can see the past, present, and even the future."

"Like a fortune teller?"

"Don't lump me in with those cheap charlatans."

While stroking Est's head who was sitting on his lap, Ars didn't know whether to think Rea was naive and stupid, or had an extraordinary mentality for not showing any fear towards him.

If it were an ordinary person, just seeing the nine Bijuu outside, they would not dare enter the shop and would most likely turn around and run.

In the face of the unknown, humans tend to fear.

"Then can Ars-san tell me about my past?"

"Oh, you don't believe it?"

"Um, I wonder how much Ars-san knows."

Finishing the fourth hydrangea leaf, Rea looked at Ars with anticipation.

Ignoring Restia who was pinching his waist out of jealousy for pampering Est, Ars nodded and said: "Okay. As the first customer, I will provide special service just for you."

"Special service?" Rea tilted her head, looking confused.

"You just look forward to it." Ars smiled mysteriously, then started to tell Rea's background.

"74 years ago, you were an innocent and cheerful high school girl, but also harbored a dark secret. You were born into the Sanka family, which is an upper class family. Your father is Sanka Dan'ichiro, a pedophile and Daughter-con, he has a habit of taking pictures of you on your birthday. Not just an ordinary photo session but your father will take naked photos of you for the reason of recording your growth. He is also very protective, pushing aside your friends and telling you that he is the only thing in the world you need. Simply put, Sanka Dan'ichiro saw his wife's reflection in his daughter."

Rea listened attentively, the more she heard, her pretty face turned red. Even so, she did not interrupt Ars.

Restia looked at the zombie in front of her with sympathy. Meanwhile, Est, her face was always expressionless.

"Your biological mother proposed to you when she was 15 years old. Because she was weak, she died soon after giving birth to you."

"Because your father's attitude was too protective, it made you stressed and you decided to commit suicide. However, you meet a man named Furuya Chihiro who turns you into a zombie after accidentally falling to your death from a cliff."

"Blah Blah Blah..."

Ars continued to speak at length. Maybe because he rarely chatted with other people for a long time, he talked a lot. Without realizing it, 30 minutes had passed.

"Because you felt guilty about eating the heart of the man you liked, you chose to isolate yourself in an abandoned villa. Even after finding out that Furuya had a heart transplant abroad and paid for by your father, you never showed yourself in public again to prevent yourself from getting out of control like before. You knew it was impossible to have a romantic relationship with Furuya, so you let him marry his childhood friend and good friend, Saoji Ranko."

"Time continues to flow, you watch one by one the people closest to you die one by one. Including Furuya who died at the age of 60, and Ranko at the age of 80. In the end, your only surviving acquaintance is Mero, Furuya's younger sister. On the other hand, thanks to your perfect zombification, your body neither rots nor ages."

"Sigh... Time is cruel for long-lived creatures like us. I know how you feel."

After finishing the story session, Ars handed a tissue to Rea who was crying.

"Hic... Thank you."

Using the tissue, Rea wiped the tears from her face.

She was not a heartless person, after his past came back to her mind, she was filled with longing and sadness.

"Poor girl…" Restia sighed.

Even Est could feel the melancholy atmosphere.

"Sorry for making Ars-san see my ugly appearance."

"What's wrong with expressing sadness? If you are sad, cry. It's okay to cry sometimes and it's okay to pour your heart out. It doesn't make you weak or fragile, it just proves that you are human."

In his seventh reincarnation, Ars only cried once, namely when he learned that Areishia was really dead and there was no way to resurrect her.

In the world of [Naruto], he has roamed the world in clone form for 1000 years. He had watched those closest to him die of old age or be killed.

He has attended his friends' funerals many times. For example Hashirama, Tobirama, Madara, etc.

Compared to his day which had been forged for a millennium, Rea had only lived for 90 years and the hearts of the two of them could not be compared.

"Is Ars-san a god? You can even make me shed tears."

Rea is aware of her physical condition.

On the surface, her body is no different from ordinary people. However, in the end she was a zombie. Its physiology is no different from that of a corpse.

Her body temperature was very cold because her heart was no longer beating to circulate blood, which resulted in her skin becoming very pale, and all her hair turning white due to dead cells.

In such a condition, she could no longer shed tears.

"You're right, it was my doing. I feel the emotion of sadness in you, but you can't cry, it's too sad! So I used my powers to temporarily restore your body's physiology. By the way, I'm not a god." Ars admitted openly.

"Thank you very much, Ars-san. When Furuya-kun and the others died, my heart felt tight and painful but couldn't shed even a single tear. That really makes me regret it."

Rea expressed her gratitude from the bottom of her heart.

"You're welcome. You can find a Destiny Alteration Token, it shows there is destiny between us. As the owner of the Destiny Trading Club, I can change the destiny of those who are fated."

"Well, Miss Rea. What do you want? Apart from granting you immortality, I can grant you any wish. Bringing the dead to life, giving unlimited treasures, destroying the world, reaping the sun and stars even if possible."

Ars acts like a merchant offering his wares. It's just that, what it offers exceeds human expectations!

After a moment of silence, Rea asked: "It's not free, right?"

She may be naive but not stupid. With her life experience, she knew there would be no one offering good intentions without hidden intentions, especially unknown entities like Ars.
