Chapter 13: Glow (8)
"Some spicy hot pot chicken stock please!" He closed his eyes tight, the cruel reality that he don't want to see must be kept unseen!
[I don't think that will work..?? I-it actually worked?? Wow! Look at this Kevin!!] System 111 excitedly bounced up and down
Kevin who was unprepared opened his eyes because of the ruckus and then looked at his hands..
"I hate you system," He indignantly looked down, not really meaning his words
[That was quite fun~ The fast change of your expression that is ehe] System 111 kinda wanna do it again but seeing it's host like this, well, it can do it again in the future too, it's no problem waiting at all
"Sigh, it probably is just an ordinary box,"
[I ordered some food while you were doing that, it will come soon, just waitttt] 111 nudged it's host
"Gasp----really??"
[...You went back to life really fast] System 111 spoke it's thoughts out loud and then said, [Yep, do I look like an uncaring boss?]
Kevin looked at the ball for a long time and then after a moment of consideration, with the utmost serious tone he can do, he said, "You do,"
It was silent
[Should I just cancel the order?] System 111 grinned
"It's my money," Kevin also grinned, a bit triumphant after realizing how cool the comeback he thought of
[Aren't you hungry?] System 111 smirked
"....I can wait," A huge grumble resounded in the quiet kitchen, coming from the same person who said they can wait
[Hoh? How long can you wait~?] 111 snickered and teased
Kevin blushed and pinched his tummy that betrayed him, idiot tummy!
[....] System 111 is very dumbfounded now, it's a system but since it have humanly aesthetics too it can't help but give in to this defenseless host it has
[Alright, I lost] It sighed
"Woahh, what's up with this change?" Kevin covered his mouth exasperatedly, system 111 answered it honestly
[If you look at the mirror you'll know why]
"Oh my, don't tell me, you were charmed by me?" His eyes turned crescents, really enjoying this turn of events
[Probably not now] 111 felt stupid for getting led by this narcissist host of it
Their conversation didn't last long since the doorbell ranged, Kevin stood up and then jogged towards the door, crouched down and look expectantly at the small door meant for pets
He waited for a couple of seconds but unfortunately, there was no food that went inside nor did he hear any movements outside
Kevin uneasily looked at the peephole and saw no one outside, "They should've put it inside, mouu," He pouted, he don't wanna go out yet, the clothes he's currently wearing is one of the reason
He should first take it off, who knows if some person is coincidentally outside and saw him!
Kevin tried everything he can do, pull and cut, but the clothes won't get out at all! Even if he tried to take it off like any normal clothes there's some force that doesn't allow it! Cutting it doesn't work either since it just goes back like how it was before, even sturdier too...
The card won't listen either, their are still 40 more minutes before the time ends and he cannot wait that long!
[I'll check what's outside first then] System 111 volunteered
"Why didn't you thought of that sooner!"
[Cuz it just came to mind now? Well, no use complaining, at least you found out how durable the clothes are]
"Too durable it's relieving and kinda troubling," Kevin added
System 111 shrugged and went out of the door, it checked everywhere, even the CCTV monitors were checked so are the possible blind spots which it must say is little to none
[You're really cautious, the apartment you chose don't have much inconspicuous spaces to hide at]
"Eh? Really?" Kevin blinked, he never knew that was the case
[...Yes, just go and take the lunch box, I don't have much energy left to carry a lunchbox from outside to here, I also need to save it in case of emergencies] It reminded it's host in case Kevin thought if it
"Okayyy, I know," He slowly opened the door while walking without noise, his expression very serious
[This ain't some spy job you dummy] System 111 thought silently
As fast as lightning and as agile as a cheetah, his hands snatched the treasure and then closed the gates of the other side---
"AHHHHH! Ouch! Ouch!" Kevin sniffed and holds his right wrist, one of his fingers having a very eye catching red mark
[Yo, this is why you should always be careful~]
"This is so damn weird! It hurts ten times more unlike when I still have those hairs!"
[Maybe one of the pill enhanced your sensitivity? It's most likely the Fancify pill]
"Wuu," Kevin blows the part where it hurts, there was no band aid or betadine in the house so only after getting used to the wound did he took the two big eco bag, that seems to be the order, that was set aside earlier when he was shouting 'ouch'
[Hmm, that's a bit off? I only ordered a pork cutlet combo, there's no way for the package to be that big and many to only have one person eater dish] It wasn't paying attention back out and now that it look at the product closer, it's certainly very suspicious
Kevin didn't hear the System's musings, he was focused on opening the package.
"Huh? Eh?? System, I can't believe you're so generous! Not only did you buy me a complete set of a trivet, a pot and a smoke less grilling pan but you also bought me varieties of ingredients! All for free!"
[What do you mean for free?? I'm a very poor system alright? I don't have that much money to buy you something without anything back]
"But my money didn't decrease at all,"
[This is all messed up! I didn't bought a hotpot thing at all! Maybe you've ordered it and forgot about it?? No, that can't happen either, the money would've been subtracted from your bank card]
"See?"
The debate was paused because another door bell rang, this time, instead of only one time, it rang three times then stopped, there was also movements heard
Kevin scrunched up and then went to check it, he also went in time to see that a paper bag is going inside the little door of his
After that, a ding coming from the phone came, notifying him that money was cashed out
[I did it] System 111 chirped, in case it's host mistakenly thought that even the drivers can automatically take out money without the owner's participation
Kevin has no comment other than having a pretty speechless expression, he opened the paper bag and saw a tall square container and three small circular storage
The square one have two spaces, the first space contains five crispy looking pork cutlet, green onions and some fried garlic sprinkled on top, l there was a black sauce spread on it too, the second space have white rice and seaweed strips by the corner
The first circular storage contains a jelly pudding, the second one contains one each of uramaki, sashimi and temaki sushis, the third have some kind of sour soup broth
Kevin gulped, now, it's time for him to eat and refill his grumbling stomach!
