Chapter 124 - Mr. Chimo



Once their conversation had come to a close, Marcell and Elpis headed back into their room after putting their daughter back into her room as well. As for Yuki, He climbed the ladder which led to his room and went back to bed. While he didn\'t need a lot of sleep to function, Yuki still enjoyed sleeping for the fun of it. 

Morning quickly rose and abruptly woke Yuki up from his deep slumber. While not happy about it. Yuki forced himself to get up from his bed. 

[Open inventory]

Yuki pulled out a toothbrush and toothpaste which the king from the 8th stage of the first dungeon had bought for him on his shopping journey. While in most cases, Yuki would\'ve called upon Zero to take him to the spatial realm to allow him to brush his teeth and do anything else that he needed to do, however, Yuki couldn\'t do that now that he was living with other people. 

Yuki yawned and went back down stairs to go to the bathroom. Right as he stepped down the ladder, he was greeted by Elpis who was leaving the bathroom after getting ready for her day. 

"Good morning. Did you manage to go back to sleep?" Elpis asked Yuki. 

"I actually did. How about you?" Yuki asked as it was the polite thing to do. 

"Not really, I guess I still didn\'t quite get a chance to fully comprehend what happened last night. Don\'t worry though, I\'ll be fine for the day," Elpis replied. 

"That\'s nice. Good luck with your day," Yuki said as he went inside the bathroom to brush his teeth. 

As he did so, Yuki couldn\'t help but feel excited to go back to Marcell\'s diner. Even if he was alone in the kitchen, he didn\'t have to do anything since his flames would take care of all the hard work. Then he would be able to come back and enjoy the rest of the day with his new family. 

"Why couldn\'t they have been my actual family. Maybe I wouldn\'t have gotten this far. Maybe I would\'ve been able to enjoy a life of peace and quiet, then later on in life I could have a family of my own," Yuki thought to himself. 

"There\'s no point in thinking about what could\'ve been. Right now, all that matters is what\'s in the moment. If I keep thinking of the past or future, I\'ll never be able to enjoy the present," Yuki said as he spat out the toothpaste in his mouth and cleaned his toothbrush before placing it back into his inventory. 

Once he exited the bathroom, Elpis was once again outside the door waiting for him. This time, in her hand was Yuki\'s clothes from last night which he had given to her for them to be washed. Now that they were completely cleaned, Yuki could wear them once again to work with Marcell. 

"Thank you very much," said Yuki as he accepted his clothes from her. 

"When you\'re done changing, give me the clothes you\'re wearing now so I can wash them for you," said Elpis. 

"Oh, okay. Will do," replied Yuki as he began to climb the ladder which lead to the attic, 

"By the way, are those your only clothes?" Elpis asked. 

"Yes they are. I didn\'t get a chance to properly go shopping yet," Yuki replied. 

"How about we go shopping on the weekend? The diner is closed on Saturdays and Sundays so you should be free right?" Elpis asked. 

"Sure, that would be great," Yuki replied with a genuine smile on his face. 

Once Yuki finished speaking to Elpis, he climbed the ladder to the attic and closed the door to it before changing back into his old clothes. Yuki did enjoy his hoodie and sweatpants however he felt more free when he wore his t-shirt. After he got fully dressed, Yuki went back down the ladder and handed his hoodie and sweatpants to Elpis. 

"I\'ll be taking that," said Elpis as he took Yuki\'s clothes. 

"Marcell should be waiting for you downstairs at the door," said Elpis. 

Hearing this, Yuki nodded and headed down the staircase to meet up with Marcell. Just as Elpis said, Marcell was waiting for him there with a smile. 

"I didn\'t really get a chance to thank you for what you did for us last night. Without you, one of us would\'ve been dead. You have my greatest gratitude," Marcell said as he bowed down.

"Hey hey, stop that. There\'s no need to thank me. I was just doing what any average person would do if they were in my position. But seriously, we should start going or you\'re going to be late to open the shop," said Yuki as he wore his shoes and opened the door for Marcell. 

Feeling that there was no need to be so formal around Yuki, Marcell walked out the door and Yuki followed suit. Elpis, who was still upstairs when they left, began to descend down the stairs to close the door once she heard them exit. 

As Yuki and Marcell walked through the streets of the kingdom, Marcell was greeted kindly by many, which made Yuki assume that he was famous or something along those lines. While many only said a simple "hello", one of the people went above and beyond to ask about Yuki as well. 

"Good morning Marcell. Oh, who\'s that boy that\'s with you?" the old man asked. 

"Good morning to you too Mr. Chimo. This is my son Jack," Marcell replied as he lightly tapped on Yuki\'s back which caught Yuki off guard. 

"Is that so? I always thought you only had a daughter. Well, that\'s nice to hear. Will he be helping you at the diner today?" Mr. Chimo asked. 

"In fact, he will. He\'ll be working at the back though so I\'ll be stealing all the spotlight," replied Marcell. 

"Well, get going now. You don\'t want to be late to open the store," Mr. Chimo advised. 

Hearing this Yuki along with Marcell continued their journey towards the shop. Although Yuki did wonder if there would be more occasions where people would ask Marcell about who the kid that was with him was, Yuki just ignored the thought as he would figure something out when that time came.
