After leaving the Adventurer Agency, Kyson didn't immediately go back home.
Walking around the city for a while, Kyson was thinking about what he should do.
"Since I have so much money, I can't just let it rot in my bank."
"Hmm, how should I use it?"
While deep in his thoughts, Kyson suddenly felt hunger assault him.
Growl~
"Well, I'll think about it while I eat."
To solve his hunger, Kyson went to a relatively quiet restaurant not that far away.
During the time he was eating, Kyson made a plan as to where he would spend money.
First and foremost, since he will be an adventurer from now on, he needs to invest money in that.
Things like weapons, equipment, and other things that are necessary for this job need to be bought.
Also, Kyson also decided to buy a motorcycle in order to make his travel easier.
Since a lot of the time, the journey is the one that consumes his time.
With a good vehicle, he can save time and do a lot more other productive things with it.
Besides things for adventuring, Kyson also decided to improve the overall quality of his life.
And to do that, his house needs to be renovated.
The house where Kyson lives is their family home.
It can't be said to be bad, but it can't be called good either. With countless leaks on the roof and some dilapidated area, it was a home you can just live in.
It's not even a fully-finished house. But it was enough for a poor family at the time.
The house has a lot of issues now and Kyson wants all of it to be fixed. He wants to make the house more comfortable to live in.
Besides these things, Kyson also planned others that directly or indirectly affected his life.
In that kind of mood, Kyson finished his meal and left the restaurant.
Outside of the restaurant, Kyson doesn't plan to go back home yet.
It is only 5PM at this time. Kyson still wanted to look around and took a breather.
Don't look at him looking unaffected and just being happy during his time in the wild. All his nerves are stretched taut and he doesn't have the leisure to slack around.
Those who have been in that situation know that it was mentally exhausting and draining.
Add to that the fear deep down in his heart, Kyson's mentality was really tested to the limit.
Now that he's back in the city where his safety is at least guaranteed, he can finally relax and enjoy the moment.
While taking his time walking down the streets, Kyson also noticed a lot of changes in this city.
From establishments and businesses, to the surrounding people. Things have become far from ordinary.
Strange looking creatures could be seen around. People wearing gears and weapons.
It feels like you wandered to a comic con from out of nowhere.
Kyson took all these sights in and didn't say anything. He absorbed the changes and digested it.
Just as he was passing by an alley, Kyson suddenly heard some voices coming from inside.
"Gahahaha, miss, you look so beautiful. How about accompanying me tonight?"
Kyson frowned after hearing those words.
As a modern young man, he is familiar with this kind of scene thanks to the various entertainment works out there.
Those who say such words are clearly ruffians who harass women.
Kyson is also a hot-blooded youth in the past. So, encountering a situation like this now, he can't possibly turn a blind eye.
So, Kyson took a turn and entered the alley.
However, when he got there, the scene that he expected didn't appear.
Where are the ruffians? Where's the beautiful lady who's being harassed?
Instead, the scene that Kyson saw is the back of a big man with muscles crouching on the ground while playing with a stray cat.
"Hahaha, you look so cute. You have such nice fur. Do you want to come with me? Do you want to? Huh?"
Kyson watched the big man talk softly to the cat as it purred on his hands.
Kyson was stunned by that sight and didn't immediately react.
Maybe feeling that there's someone behind him, the big man turned his head back, letting Kyson see his face.
It was the typical look of a rough guy, who looks like a bouncer on some club, giving off an intimidating aura.
The large scar on the side of his face adds more to the oppressive feeling he's giving.
When he looked back, there was still a smile lingering on his lips, clearly from playing with the cat.
But after seeing that there's really someone else around, his face immediately changed and became stern with a frown.
Putting down the cat on the ground, the big guys slowly stood up and faced Kyson.
"Boy, what are you doing here?"
The softness in his voice from before could no longer be detected. Only a deep, heavy, and pressuring voice was left.
Realizing that he was seen, Kyson finally reacted.
"Ah, sorry, man. I thought there's something bad going on in here. So…"
Hearing his explanation, the big man furrowed his brow.
"Something bad? What do you mean by that, huh?"
"Well, you know… I thought some ruffians were trying to harass someone."
Kyson scratched his head as he explained, knowing that he misunderstood the situation from before.
The big man looked confused for a while, but the next second, his face changed.
A look of realization appeared on his face as he looked down at the cat, who's rubbing itself on his legs.
"Ahh… that…"
For a moment, there was only silence in the alley and no one knew how to speak first.
Just as the silence deepens, a loud crashing sound suddenly came deep into the alley.
Crash!
Bang!
The noise attracted Kyson and the big man's attention.
The deeper parts of the alley are pretty dark, making it hard for them to see what's causing the noise.
