[S1] Heir and Night Butterflies


Fragment 21: Towards Cijagung


Kai woke up from a short break after last night's marathon. Kai awakens impatiently to check how much money he managed to get from the System.


'Wow... Six million Haipur!' pekik Kai did not believe in the nominal money in Bank Sistem.


Kai stared for a moment at the naked body that was asleep next to him while smiling happily.


"Thank you" Kai whispered to Laela.


...— x —...


After taking a shower, Kai looks different. Kai was wearing such an elegant shirt and suit. Makes him look like a rich young executive.


While looking at the angel who was asleep. Kai put some money next to Laela's bag on the table.


'Hopefully this is enough, ' for Kai Haipur 200 thousand is very small compared to the four million Haipur he just got.


Not satisfied with just giving money, Kai also intends to give Laela a change of clothes.


Kai who does not really understand fashion finally decided to buy clothes that he valued quite expensive from the store complete system with matching colored interiors.


'Can you keep it in a neatly wrapped condition on the table?' ask Kai on the System.


[Completed.]


'Thank you System, ' praise Kai when you see a grocery bag with a well-known brand logo instantly emerge from nothing.


...— x —...


After gently tasting the naked angel, Kai left the luxury hotel to continue his delayed journey.


With this much income, Kai does not need to scavenge garbage in TPA Cijagung. But Kai decided to go to the village he was heading to in order to start a new life.

Fragment 22: Secret Features


Minutes after leaving the hotel. Benak Kai was filled with expressions, sounds, and movements of Laela all night.


'If in middle age she was this beautiful. How beautiful was Laela in her teens?' Kai sincerely praised.


The tring! The tring! The tring! The tring!


The ringing of so many notification sounds suddenly echoed inside Kai's head. Makes Kai surprised.


Kai is forced to pull over his car for a moment as various hologram interface displays stacked against each other block his view.


Without protest at the System, Kai reads one by one the captions on the hologram interface screen.


[Laela Ramlan has fallen completely.]


[Master has managed to unlock a secret feature.]


[Firur Pet has been obtained.]


Kai was surprised by the notification from this System. The Pet feature is an in-game feature where we nurture monsters that have been tamed to help our adventures in the future.


'Why is Laela a human you value as a pet?' ask Kai on the System.


[It is analogous to a game. Then the Master here is a player. And the other entities would be considered monsters.]


'Whoever is that?'


[Yes. Whoever that is.]


Kai then tries to learn the various ins and outs of his new feature.


Kai was a little disappointed when he saw that the information contained in this feature was just a short bio from Laela that contains his name, race, gender, and age.


'Is it just this way? Then what advantage do I get from this feature?' ask Kai on the System.


[Everyone who has become a Pet will have high dependency and full loyalty to the Master.]


[Master can utilize them to carry out various tasks. So that you do not need to carry out various missions alone.]


[And because the souls of Master and Laela are already bound. You can find out where Laela is and just do it.]


Kai then intends to see and find out where Laela is now.


A hologram screen immediately appears showing a sleeping Laela complete with a description of Laela's location. Kai looks like he saw Laela from a CCTV screen


'What is this?' kai asked as he looked at the two buttons at the bottom of the hologram screen.


[Master can teleport to the pet location in an instant. Or you can teleport the pet in front of the Master right now.]


'Whoa... Means now I don't need Laela's phone number or bother driving if I want to see Laela.'


[True Sir.]


Kai felt very relieved. Because just now Kai had regretted not having time to ask for Laela's mobile number.


Kai doesn't know Laela's talent yet. And whether Laela can help Kai in carrying out the mission. But at least Kai could utilize Laela to become a Scavenging Source for him. So Kai no longer needed to hire prostitutes or find other women when he needed money.


'Ah... Now the important thing is that I have to go to Cijagung first. Laela's business could be later, ' Kai concluded in his heart.

Fragment 23: Dried Bread


The journey to Cijagung is really fun. Kai felt that he now had a bright future.


Since eight years ago, all of Kai's hopes for life have been shattered. It was exactly when Kai was ten years old.


It was early morning. So it is natural that the atmosphere created at that time is only quiet and also quiet.


But in the middle of that quiet atmosphere. There was a little boy who was conversing with a middle-aged woman who looked too glamorous.


"Wait here, yeah. Auntie wants to go for a while. Auntie will pick you up again" said the woman to the child in front of her.


"Where is Aunt going?" ask the child to be scared.


"Tante has a business where Auntie should not bring children," replied the aunt reasoned.


"So you better stay here and don't go anywhere ya.." continued the aunt later.


"Alright Tan," replied little Kai without looking at his Tanten face.


The almost old woman entered the silver-colored luxury car before passing away leaving Kai who was still innocent and did not know anything.


...– x –...


A dozen hours passed. Kai just stood at the same point. Only dare to change position a few meters when the feet start to feel sore need to be moved before then he returned again to the same point.


Little Kai was so confused. He was not able to think clearly. He didn't know which way to put his foot in. Plus the obedient Kai felt that he could not leave his place now standing.


The existence of Kai who was standing there was certainly enough to make the buskers, beggars, and street children become excited. There are already some people who try to approach Kai just offer help.


Some of them have also invited Kai to the police station to look for his family. But little Kai always refused all the help offered by thrashing and crying.


...— x —...


And just as everyone was desperate to help Kai, an old Grandpa with a big cheek-to-cheek smile suddenly came over to little Kai.


"What's your name, sweet boy?" ask Grandpa is friendly.


"Sa... I am Oka Kek," replied little Kai doubtfully.


"Oka Hi... Grandpa's Name... Ar... Yeah.." Grandpa introduced himself.


Little Kai just silently looked down not answering the hospitality shown by Arya.


"You must be hungry" Grandpa Arya guessed, offering Kai a loaf of dried bread.


"Eat it. Don't be ashamed." Aryan Grandpa told Kai in silence.


Kai, who was initially embarrassed, then ventured to accept the gift from Grandpa Arya. Kai ate the bread very crazily.


Kai can't remember why he's willing to accept Grandpa Arya's help and not from the others.


But Kai who has grown up guessed that the aura possessed by Grandpa Aryalah that makes little Kai can feel comfortable and also believe in Grandpa Arya.


The adult Kai unintentionally smiled, Grandma... Without the dry bread of the day I might not be what I am today.'
