Special Baby

After being satisfied with circling Heian-kyo, Ars took the girls back to the shop.

Realizing the lack of entertainment, he created a TV filled with movies, cartoons, and anime in his previous life.

"What's this?" Restia asked, looking at the wide but thin box in front of her.

"Isn't that TV?"

Different from Restia and Est who didn't know anything, Rea immediately recognized the item in front of her.

"It's too boring in the shop with nothing to do, right? We don't know when the next customer will come. I have filled this TV with lots of movies, you can watch TV to pass the time. Rea, teach them both how to use it." Ars said.

"Understood, boss. Leave it to me." Rea nodded in anticipation. She hasn't watched TV for a long time.

"Ars want to go? I am coming along." Est asked while tilting her head.

Squatting in front of her, Ars cupped her cheeks and spoke with a smile: "Be an obedient girl. I wasn't gone long, just wanted to confirm a few things."

"I am your sword, I must always be by your side." Est stubbornly wanted to follow him.

Seeing that he failed to persuade her, Ars glanced at Restia who was watching them, making a gesture of help.

Realizing the meaning of his gaze, Restia smiled helplessly, then pulled Est away.

"What are you doing, Dark Spirit."

"Fufufu~... Stop causing trouble for Ars. Come watch this thing called TV."

"Don't want to. I want to accompany Ars."

"Don't be stubborn, Miss Sacred Sword. Even though we are both his Swords, you should be aware that we are of little use to him."

Hearing Restia's words, Est stopped struggling, sadness could be seen on her expressionless face.

"In the fight against the Light Elemental Lord, Ars was able to defeat him without using us. You also know this, our existence is not really needed by him. So, stop being stubborn and just obey, okay? You don't want to be abandoned by Ars, right?"

"Does Ars want to throw me away?"

Looking up, Est looked at Ars with teary eyes.

"How could I do that? Restia just scared you." Ars comforted her.

Finally, Est no longer asked to come along.

"You are too much, Restia."

"Really? I'm just telling the truth. The two of us are useless to you in battle. Amu only accepted reality to avoid it like Miss Sacred Sword did."

Standing in front of Ars, Restia said the words in a low voice while drawing circles on his chest with her finger.

Due to the height difference between the two, she had to stand on tiptoe when doing this

"…"

Then Restia whispered in Ars' ear.

"Look? You didn't even deny it~. I'm sure, the reason you accepted me and her was to accompany you to spend your eternity."

After saying that, she took a few steps back, no disappointment on her face.

"It's a shame that I can't be part of your power. However, being with you is more than enough for me. As long as you don't throw me away, that will make me very happy."

"Restia, I—"

"No need to cheer me up, I'm not as sad as you think. Rather than being used by other people as a weapon to fulfill my ambitions, I prefer to spend time with you, Ars."

"Sigh... Sometimes, women who are too smart are not liked."

"Fufufu~ Ars hate?"

Ars smiled in response to Restia's question.

"Then I'll go first."

"Don't come home too late at night."

Restia waved her hand like a wife sending her husband off to work.

"Be careful on the way, boss." Rea lowered her head.

Est watched Ars leave in silence, she was still sad about not being taken.

Descending the stairs, Ars saw the quiet first floor.

"It took three months for the first customers to come. I didn't know the second customer arrived."

Previously, he had created 99 Destiny Alteration Tokens and scattered them randomly across the universe. Therefore, he couldn't use Fate Scripture ability to read the fate of arriving customers.

After all, Ars himself didn't know what kind of person would be so lucky to find a Destiny Alteration Token.

Leaving the shop, he passed by various arrays without activating them.

Ahead, two guards stood guard at the front. They were both soldiers ordered by Emperor Suzaku to supervise the Destiny Trading Club.

The Destiny Trading Club was too mysterious, no one could force their way in as if there was an invisible wall.

This only aroused Emperor Suzaku's anxiety and fear. He was worried that the existence of the Destiny Trading Club would affect his authority. So, he posted a guard and reported anyone coming and going from the shop.

Unfortunately, after three months had passed, the Destiny Trading Club was quiet without any activity. People's enthusiasm gradually died down as time went by, and no one was interested in watching anymore.

Every once in a while there would be people claiming to be monks, priests, onmyoji, or exorcists, who would come to check out the Destiny Trading Club.

Ars discovered most of them were scammers, only a few were real.

10 minutes later, he arrived at an old house that seemed busy with people.

"It should be here."

Seeing that there was no way because of the crowd, he decided to walk on air.

His actions did not cause any commotion, as he was invisible to others.

Ars entered the house smoothly. Then he saw an elderly couple caring for a baby, which was now a spectacle for the people who came.

The baby girl was very cute, she didn't cry or make sounds like most babies. With eyes full of wisdom that a baby should not have, she looked down on everyone around her except for the grandfather and grandmother who looked after her with great affection.

Of course, those people didn't realize that they were looked down upon by babies.

There was unexpected surprise in the baby's eyes when she looked in the direction Ars was.

(Oh, this baby is aware of my presence?)

Ars' eyebrows raised knowing that the baby had seen his hiding place.

After all, he didn't use half his strength to hide his whereabouts. People with supernatural powers could faintly sense his presence, and if the person had a perception type ability, he would be discovered immediately.

It was all based on the premise that Ars used a little of his power.

"Hm? What did Kaguya-chan see?"

Realizing that the baby was looking in a certain direction without looking away, the grandmother, Ouna, also looked in that direction. However, she didn't see anything.

"Okay, everyone please go. Kaguya-chan should sleep."

The grandfather named Okina kicked out the neighbors and people in his house.

Those who came to watch left obediently. Apart from the fact that Kaguya was found inside the bamboo, they didn't find anything special about her.

(Let's try to improve it a little)

Ars increases concealment. Instantly, Kaguya could no longer see him.

There was anxiety in Kaguya's eyes, worried that the other party had bad intentions towards her and endangered Okina and Ouna.
