Kiyoshi's Pupil: The Perverted Inventor

After three hours at Nokia Port, they arrived at Leen's sister's place. Daleen expressed her surprise, "Kiyoshi, it feels like you've just returned from your last trip, and now you're off again."

Kiyoshi chuckled, "Well, you could say that. I'm accompanying my friend to the MMM."

Saleen greeted them with a cheerful smile, "Come on in, you guys."

"How have you been?" Kiyoshi inquired.

Daleen grinned, teasingly. "Oh, we're doing well. You and Sakura are quite the celebrities, you know? 'The Holy Sword Healer' and 'The Lightning Reaper'."

Kiyoshi blushed, trying to downplay it. "Oh, don't say that, it's embarrassing."

(There's a special spell, 'Appraisal', that reveals an adventurer's title. It's accessible to anyone, even commoners. It's an F-rank spell, unimprovable, but some rare experts hold an A-rank variant, only usable by B-rank or higher magic users. The F-rank reveals titles, the A-rank shows species and titles, and for monsters, just species. It also shows the rank of weapons and the name of the weapons if the spell is used by a rank B or upper blacksmith).

Sakura, with concern, asked, "Where's Galeen?"

Saleen explained, "She's in the kitchen."

Sakura, her eyes closed, savored the scent. "Ah, that's why I smell the delicious fish."

Saleen, puzzled, asked, "who is he?"

Kiyoshi clarified, "He is my friend."

Kavato introduced himself with a noble air, "Allow me to apologize for the late introduction. I am Kavato, and I am an alchemist."

Saleen was surprised. "You're a noble?"

Kavato's expression dimmed. "Not anymore. It's a complicated story, and I'm not officially an Alchemy master yet."

Saleen pondered, "Nobles are more intricate than they seem."

Kavato, candidly, added, "Nobles can be quite troublesome."

Kiyoshi hushed him, mindful of their surroundings. "Hey, keep it down. It could cause problems if someone overhears you."

Daleen interjected, diverting attention to the food. "Dinner is ready, let's eat."

With gratitude, they all chimed in, "Thanks for the food."

Galeen, curious, inquired about their plans. Sakura explained, "We're escorting Kavato to the MMM so he can earn the title of Master Alchemist."

Saleen remarked, "Becoming a Master Alchemist is quite the accomplishment."

Galeen praised them, "You guys never cease to amaze me."

(After two hours)

Kavato offered their thanks, "Thank you for having us, it was a pleasure."

Leen sisters responded, "Anytime."

Kiyoshi bid farewell, "Goodbye."

Sakura added, "See you later."

As they boarded the ship, anticipating their arrival in the capital at 1:00 AM, they settled in for some much-needed rest.

The light sneaked into the cart on Sakura's face. She woke up by the light and the jerking. They were going through a short cut so the path was a bit jagged. But the main way will be very busy and will take a lot of time. Sakura combed her hair back to her ears. KAVATO was seeing this and he went all red seeing her. Sakura what is it Kavato? You are so like an introvert to girls.

In a blush ed state, Kavato stammered, " I'm not used to being around, cute girls."

Sakura, "What about me are you getting nerves?"

 Kavato in mind: "I said cute girls not assassin monsters with tinny boobs."

 Kavato express gratitude, "It's complicated" 

Sakura with a grin, reassured him, "There is something that is not complicated about you. Hey if you need any help just ask OK we are friends, and I am sure Kiyoshi will do anything for a friend." 

Kavato said, "Thank you, Sakura"

Attempting to wake Kiyoshi, Sakura called out, "Kiyoshi... Kiyoshi..."

 Kiyoshi mumbled, "I'll protect you, Sakura. I'll heal you, don't worry."

Kavato chuckled, remarking, "You're lucky to have someone like him."

Sakura blushed, "We're not like that."

Kavato nodded, "I see. Well, you two make a good match."

the cart gets in a gutter and jerks. it makes Kiyoshi move over Sakura.

while he was still sleeping, his hand slipped to Sakura's backside, he touched it a said in his sleep "Sakura when did your boobs get this big it was very small."

Enraged, Sakura swatted him, scolding, "Take your hands off, you pervert!"

Kavato burst into laughter.

Sakura questioned, "What's so funny?"

Kavato stifled his laughter, clearly amused.

Kiyoshi, now awake, inquired, "Did I miss something?"

Sakura, with a menacing glare at Kavato, replied, "Nothing happened"

After a while, the cart abruptly stopped, surprising everyone. A boy, with pointed ears and brown hair, carrying a bag, approached them.

The boy introduced himself, "Hi, I'm Daishi. Are you heading to the MMM? Can I join you, please?"

Without hesitation, Kavato welcomed him aboard.

Thanks. Said the boy

The journey resumed, and Kiyoshi inquired,"Are you darf" 

DAISHI, " A 50% and a 50% I am human. But I have a point they are like dwarfs. My father is a dwarf and my mother is a witch." 

Sakura, "Why are you going to MMM" 

Daishi, "I am an inventor and invented the coolest thing in the world." 

Kiyoshi, "That's that " 

Daishi, "Be proud of the ones who see this for the first time other than me." He shows an L structure of a wooden tube. 

Kiyoshi, "What is it?"

Daishi revealed, "Behold, the '3rd Eye'! By looking through one hole, you can see out the other end, even around corners, thanks to the mirrors inside."

Kiyoshi recognized it, "Ah, a Periscope!"

Sakura chimed in, "I understand."

Daishi, unaware of the term, asked, "What's a Periscope?"

Kiyoshi questioned, "What is the use of this?"

Daishi calls them near, "That a secret comes closer, you can peek at girls without putting your head out of the bush."

Sakura irritated, swiped at Daishi, reprimanding, "I can hear you, you pervert."

Kavato's nose bleeds just thinking about it.

Sakura, "Now what are you thinking?"

Kavato, "Nothing..."

Kiyoshi, "Daishi there is a problem it is incompatible like this. I will repare it."

Daishi, "But promise me you will not break it."

Kiyoshi, "I promise."

Kiyoshi added a bent more to it like a perfect periscope. Before it was just an L shape now it is a perfect periscope.

Kiyoshi, "Now you can see more easily."

Daishi, "That's godly, you are geniuses now I can see cute girls at ease."

Sakura hit d and said, "Stop that pervert."

Sakura, "I don't know you were good at this"

Kiyoshi, "I was calling the geniuses back"

Sakura, "Is that so?"

Daishi, trying to redeem himself, turned to Kiyoshi, "Hey, can I take full credit for this idea?"

Kiyoshi graciously agreed, "Of course, and I'll even teach you some tricks."

Daishi: "That's amazing then I will be your student now on words. Be proud master because I will be the greatest inventor in the world." 

Daishi pledged, "You'll see, I'll become the greatest inventor in the world!"

Kiyoshi, proud, acknowledged, "I look forward to it."

Concerned about Daishi's future, Sakura asked, "Don't you need to go back home?"

Daishi somberly shared, "I forgot to mention, both my parents passed away a long time ago. I was with my grandfather until he recently passed away. I sold our house for 100 gold."

Kavato, sympathetic, interjected, "Daishi, they swindled you. A house

 like that should have fetched at least 300 gold, even in rural areas."

Daishi, resolute, replied, "It's all right, I only need this much."

Sakura, relieved, said, "That's good to hear."

Kiyoshi suggested, "With our combined funds, we can buy a new house in Ramiya. We were considering it anyway. Sakura, how much money do we have now?"

Sakura calculated, "We have 150 gold."

Daishi generously offered, "You can have my money too. I'm living in the Master's house anyway."

Kiyoshi, touched, asked again, "Are you sure?"

Daishi affirmed, "Absolutely."

Kiyoshi summarized, "So, we have 250 gold. We only need 50 more."

Kavato, determined, assured, "Don't worry, I'll find a way to get 205 gold."

Upon arrival, the cart driver announced, "Here we are."

They all expressed their gratitude and disembarked.

"Thank you," they chorused.
