Gear + Title!?!?

As the illustrator starts finishing up the last of the 5 drawings of Bomi he made, I saw that he had kept maybe one or two drawings in his pocket for personal use I assume. Tsk tsk tsk. We really are the only species that practices devolution.

'This is probably why Kimi-chan took so long to get out of the building with the drawings; because the illustrator was keeping them!'

"Ahhhh~ I'm done, Kimi-chan!"

"Uwu! Thwanks, no haiwr-kun!"

After a long 45 minutes, the illustrator finally finishes but not after making sure the illustrations are kept deep inside his pants pocket. He looks around suspiciously before returning back to the group of hostages.

Being picked up by Kimi-chan and being held in front Kimi while he is gripping me with a bear hug-like grip. Honestly, because of his thick, jelly-like belly, it's quite comfortable. That combined with the arm fat, it's like a cushiony seat.

"Waaaa~~~ uwu! Little boy! So kawaii ne! I wanna just take you home and cuddle all day!"

'Uhuh. Thanks but no thanks. You may call me cute because that's the truth but not take me home. Sincerely, me...wait! Quests!'

[dink dunk! Quest completed!]

—————————

Honestly, I don't know how to feel about that quest. Should I be flattered or creeped out? Being creeped out would be the natural answer but I can't be weirded out by someone speaking the truth; that man isn't weird, he is right.

[tsk tsk tsk. You narcissistic bastard. What did I ever do to deserve you?]

'I'm narcissistic? You got it twisted, good system. I'm not narcissistic, I'm a firm believer of the saying, seeing is believing! And from what I'm seeing, I'm believing in my looks, you bodiless heap of codes!'

[guh! Y-you impotent child! Yo-]

'Lalalalala, I'm not listening to losers without bodies'

[uuuuu...Hic!....Hic!...y-you're rude]

'And you're not?'

[I can't help it, you super loser!]

Remembering about that, I just realize what happened; I did it again. My narcissistic side showed up. The one that caused my downfall. I should really keep it in check before I say or do something I'll regret in the future.

'...sorry, Feelie'

[humph!.....okay]

After I hear Feelie lightly whisper that he was okay with my apology, I smirk and then go back to that ₲100 I recently got. I add the ₲100 to my resistance stat, making my status window look like this:

—————————

—————————

'Finally!!! Fully maxed out! Except intelligence, I'm the best form of 5 year old this earth has ever seen! Mwuahahahahaha!'

[just so you know, intelligence has no final capacity and it doesn't add knowledge to you]

'I know that, Feelie! I'm not dumb!'

Obviously, the intelligence stat doesn't give knowledge but instead, it increases learning capacity and capabilities. For example, someone with 1000 intellect and 10 intellect may not know how to speak English but the 1000 intellect person can learn it much faster than the 10 intellect person.

"Alwight, hwostages! We are gwoing out!"

Kimi then starts walking out and places one of the illustrator's pencils up to the temple my head. In my previous life, due to the thick rubber grip, dark black color and the little opening for the pencil nub, all of the police thought it was a real gun; making them back off.

"Choo choo~~ choo choo~~ here cwomes the Kimi-chan train!"

Kimi-chan the Wise is actually not too bad in is infiltration methods and his escape methods. To escape, he arranged all of the hostage in a conga linge where he is at the back and he walks right off of there. The police can't touch him. It's genius. If only he used these talents for the right things like bank robberies and such.

Once we reach the entrance of the building, I see multiple rows of police standing behind bullet proof shields and armor. Looking up, I see multiple helicopters, news and police, hovering above us with some news reporters talking in front of cameras.

Once the conga line of people comes, all the police start resting their weapons while the new reporters are screaming at the police to tell us how the hostages were being treated.

"As you can see, the masked infiltrator has brought out the hostages! We aren't sure if this is all of them!"

"This is absolutely astonishing, it seems like the masked robber has chosen to come out, showing his hostages! We will keep you updated for further news on this case!"

"Oh my word! It seems we have our first look at the hostages conditions! We sincerely hope they are okay!"

Once the 15th and final illustrator comes out, they finally see the mastermind behind this elaborate scheme...Kimi-chan! The epic! The cute! It's Kimi! Just kidding, he much more fits the UB tag more than the L tag so no thank you.

All the police are panicking and when they finally see me on his chest as a shield, they now have literally no choice but to stand down. The first reason being that there's a child and the second being that, that child is Min-hee's child and they can't harm her child! That's illegal!

Meanwhile, Min-hee is staring absolutely fury into Kimi-Chan's being, seeming like she's cursing all of his ancestors regardless of their previous accomplishments and rankings. Her boy is the only important thing in this matter.

In fact, her husband called her after seeing a glimpse of her on the new broadcasting helicopter and was wondering what she was doing there. She told him what happened and he promised not to let Jung turn on the TV.

From this distance, the languages won't reach Kimi-Chan's ears so all she can do is wait for her boy to be let go.

"Kimi-chan! Do you mind letting the hostages go?"

"Uuuu...sowwy! I can't do that yet! Once I get out of hewre!"

Nodding his head, the negotiator has literally no chance of denying the request. They are in a child's theme park where absolutely no deaths are allowed. Hell, the bullets the police got were all BB or rubber bullets, not the real thing.

Compared to Kimi-chan with a real gun, they can't refuse him. Add in Min-chul and you can't do anything. The superintendent and the CEO Happy Pencil nod and make way for Kimi-chan.

The other officers and employees, seeing the two highest ranking people move, immediately follow suit. Soon, it's as if Kimi is some perverted Moses, splitting the ocean of police and new reporters.

All of the reports wish to ask questions to Kimi; who wouldn't? But they know that no matter how good the answer may be, if this irate man chooses to pull that trigger, that absolutely cute, adorable, lady-killer, beautiful, smart kid will pay for their mistakes.

Thank God 'the voices' told them about the beauty of Min-chul, the future best person and most important person ever to exist. Phew! What a close call.

"Choo choo~! Choo choo! Woohoo!"

After a few seconds of walking, I start my genius plan. The famous plan! Ahahahahaha! I start wriggling in Kimi-Chan's arms and since I've been a relatively good hostage, he never bothered to tape my mouth up; big mistake.

"Mamaaaa~!!!!!"

"MY BOY!!!"

'Tsk! She didn't say my name! Hopefully I'm-'

As soon as I'm about to think that, I hear a loud dinging noise in my ears. Heheh, I've got it! I've done it! Wooohooo! Thanks mom!

[ting ting ting! Quest completed!]

Your title and your gear can be seen in the status screen! Congratulations, you sucker!

—————————

I read the screen that showed up in front of my face out of nowhere and I remember what was happening at this age in my previous life. I was a little boy, probably bragging to my classmates about how good looking I am.

Maybe sleeping, lazing about or just being a brat. Probably blaming others for my problems too.

And now? I'm at the highest peak I can currently reach. I have many more friends than before and...I'm content. My life is great and my future is brighter than Chip Skylark's teeth.

I'm...happy. I'm happy? Yeah, I think I'm happy with this new me. I wouldn't be any other version.

I then take a deep breath, remembering to wipe some of the built up tears in my eyes and brace myself for whatever I'm about to see; because it will be too shocking for me to handle. I can't wait...

For this, I've worked harder than I ever had. All 40 years of my past life wasted, I worked my ass of to get those years back, all for this. My first gear and even, my first title...
