My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death

Chapter 131: Warm Love

Chapter 131: Warm Love

-----

Frank had finally decided to move back to Gwendolyn's house, accompanied by Kamei who he had made wear a large hood to hide most of her face and clothes from another world.

Because the town mostly had beast-kin, it would be weird if they were to see a young human girl popping out of nowhere, it was already strange for Frank to do so, but for Kamei, it might finally arise some suspiciousness.

They leisurely walked back to Gwendolyn's home through the town, as Kamei, Amelia, and Okita were surprised about the outside world, and how similar yet different to Earth it was.

There were no big buildings around, and it seemed to be a very rustic area as if they were living in the countryside in a medium-sized town.

What surprised them the most, however, were the many different types of people around, and no, not in the sense of personality, but appearance.

Cat-kin people with adorable cat ears atop their head and long tails waving around playfully.

Minotaur, enormous and muscular, with the legs of cows or bulls and long horns growing from their heads, and whose males had the head of a bull.

Dog-kin with long ears and fluffy tails, smelling anything around.

Sheep-kin people with incredibly fluffy hair growing from their heads and chest, making them seem as if they were wearing a large coat.

And so on…

The amount of diversity that this town had was immense, despite simply being in the countryside.

It would not be ridiculous to think that there might be even more exotic races living in the city of the nation.

"Gwendolyn and Annabelle are Fox-kin, and they're mother and daughter. Cathyl, Hilvera, and Asterion are Minotaur, and they are also mother and daughter and son… Ah, please don't be surprised when you see Asterion's head, as it is like that of a bull… Well, you've already seen a couple of male minotaurs around here anyways," said Frank with a low voice.

"I-I see… I will make sure to be polite," said Kamei.

"Oh my… All of this is so beautiful, so many different people… It feels as if we were inside some kind of fairy tale of sorts… Right, Okita?" asked Amelia as she floated near Frank.

"Yesss…" muttered Okita while nodding, he glanced everywhere with awe and surprise.

"Come to think about it, people don't notice mother and dad?" asked Kamei.

"No, it seems that normal folk can't see wandering souls… You were able to see them because I made them visible through Visualization, a Spell I made, which let wandering souls be seen by anyone I mark," said Frank.

"Oh, I see… That's quite convenient!" said Kamei.

"This should be the road…" said Frank, glancing at the road, the path that led towards Gwendolyn's house.

As he slowly walked with his sister, he began to recall the first day in this place and everything he had to do to make it out alive, amongst other things.

And now that he had grown so attached to these people, he felt like he was wronging them by keeping those lies he had made in that day…

"This house?" asked Kamei.

"Hm, this one…" said Frank, as the two walked around the house, reaching the front door and gently knocking.

"Annabelle, go open the door, I am cooking here!" said the voice of Gwendolyn.

"Okaaaay…!" said Annabelle.

Suddenly, the door opened, as an adorable young Fox-kin girl greeted Frank, Kamei, Amelia, and Okita's sight.

"Ah…! F-Frank! Frank is here! MOOOOOOM!" cried Annabelle, running back home as she called back her mother, alongside Cathyl, Hilvera, and Asterion!

"FRAAAAANK!" cried Asterion, jumping over Frank and crushing him into the ground.

"Buugeehh…!"

"Frank! Frank, you're back!" cried Hilvera, jumping right over Asterion and Frank!

"Guuuhhh…!"

"Fraaaaaaaank!" cried Cathyl, also jumping over Frank!

"Aaggh…!"

Frank was crushed by three minotaurs, all three of them were weeping, and leaving all of his clothes stained with tears.

"We were very worried, you have not come here for like a day, you know?!" asked Cathyl.

"Where were you, Frank?!" cried Asterion.

"Frank! Don't go away!" cried Hilvera.

"F-Frank… I am… relieved that you've come back… You seem to be… fine…" muttered Gwendolyn, cleaning the tears off her eyes with her handkerchief.

"Fraaaaank!" cried Annabelle, jumping over Frank as well!

"Aaaaagh…! Please, let me go… Ouch! I really mean it, I think a rib just broke!" cried Frank.

"Oh!"

The four beast-kin then jumped off Frank as the young Undead boy was left in the ground comically flattened like a pancake.

"Aaahh… G-Gift of Death…" he muttered, healing his body, and making the rib stick back to his ribcage.

"Ouch… I… I have a lot to explain…" muttered Frank, still in the ground.

"Eeeh? We know, it's pretty clear that you gotta explain a lot!" said Cathyl.

"But get in already, let's have dinner together!" said Hilvera.

"Yeah, sit at my side!" said Asterion.

"W-Wait, I have… someone I want to introduce to you…" said Frank, as he stood up, as Kamei slowly walked out from the side of the house, she was still rather in shock over the enthusiasm and love that these people showed to Frank, quickly realizing that he had lived many experiences with them already, they were people she could trust.

"Hm? A girl…?" asked Cathyl.

"…Who is she, Frank?" asked Gwendolyn.

Kamei quickly took off her hood, as she revealed her pale white skin, aquamarine eyes, and long and silky black hair.

Her appearance was rather similar to how Frank looked when he was not Undead yet, making all five of the beast-kin skip a beat over the girl's beauty and her air of greatness, which was most likely part of her Charity and Humility Skills.

"I… It is a pleasure to meet all of you… Frank has told me a lot about you… I… I am Frank's sister, you can call me Kamei…" said Kamei with a very shy tone, directly looking at the eyes of the beast-kin group.

"Frank's… sister?!" asked Annabelle.

"Well… That's quite the surprise…" muttered Gwendolyn.

"You're so cute!" said Hilvera.

"N-Nice… t-to met you…" said Asterion shyly.

"Oh my… She really looks like an adorable little princess…!" said Cathyl.

Kamei was showered in attention and praises, making her embarrassed.

Amelia and Okita would have to wait for their introduction, as Frank needed to tell the whole truth and so on beforehand.

However, it was clear in their faces how surprised they were that Frank had made so many friends in here, especially two very motherly women, which arose in Amelia a bit of jealously.

"F-Frank, so you have two mother mothers in here?! How long have you been with… other motherly women?!" asked Amelia as if Frank were cheating on her or something.

"Eh? A-Are you serious…? Mom, we can talk about that later…" said Frank through Telepathy.

"O-Okay then…!" said Amelia, as Okita at her side seemed to try to make an apologetic smile, but his current appearance did not give him the ability to make too many expressions…

Frank and Kamei were invited inside as before any explanations, Gwendolyn wanted both of them to eat to their heart's content, as both seemed rather thin compared to the people of this world, although that was due to Kamei being naturally very slender and Frank being an Undead now.

Nonetheless, the Horned Rabbit Hot Pot, which came with Mushrooms, potatoes, giant scorpion claws and more was delicious, filling their bellies alongside the freshly squeezed orange juice and the recently baked bread, accompanied with butter and also fresh cabbage and tomato salad made for an incredibly filling dinner, which made Frank and Kamei feel at home once more.

"That was… delicious… Thank you…" said Frank, lowering his head, as he felt that some warmth had surged on his cold and icy body after eating such delicious food.

"Thank you for your hospitality… I will make sure to repay this," said Kamei.

"I am simply happy that you're okay, Frank… And also rather intrigued about Kamei, and why you have brought her here…" said Gwendolyn.

"Well… There is a lot to explain… So let's… start for the beginning… Please, take everything I take seriously… Even… if it sounds completely ridiculous… I will show you proof that what I say is true as I go… So bear with me," said Frank.

And so, after everyone finished dinner, Frank began to slowly explain pretty much everything, starting in that he was not from this world originally, which made most of them think of that as some kind of weird joke, but quickly realizing that Frank had asked them to take everything seriously even if it sounded completely ridiculous.

Frank continued into many other things, about what he was and what he did, alongside his task given by Gaia, how he meets Abraddon and then the other Gods, and so on.

Although Asterion, Hilvera, and Annabelle were familiar with his System a bit, they always thought it was something like special magic granted by Abraddon, but after truly realizing what it was, it made them feel strange…

The three kids had also to explain why they knew about the System that Frank had and how they also shared it, amongst many things.

Due to the sheer amount of things to explain, the conversation lasted around three hours and a half, and it ended with most of the family crying over what had happened to Frank, and how hard has been his life since he acquired such powers…

Cathyl also grabbed Kamei and hugged her like a mother would do to her daughter, comforting her as Kamei broke into another weep the moment she recalled what had happened on Earth.

"This… is a lot to take in… But… All of the proof that you showed us… all the incredible abilities that not even I have ever seen or read about… it must be true…" muttered Gwendolyn.

"I am sorry for lying to you… Gwendolyn," said Frank.

"…No, it is fine, I understand that in the situation you found yourself in, it was a necessary thing to do… For now, I want all of us to go to sleep, we are all tired of this, and we need to digest everything properly… Shall we?" asked Gwendolyn.

Everyone seemed to agree, as Frank decided to postpone showing his parents to the beast-kin family for the moment, and went to take a shower.

"Nii-san, let's take a shower together…!" said Kamei.

"K-Kamei, we are already… big… we shouldn't do that, you know?" asked Frank with a bitter smile.

"But…" muttered Kamei, glancing at the floor.

Frank was very weak to his little sister, sighing and then accepting her request only for today.

"Okay… I will wash your back and you wash mine, as we used to do, alright?" asked Frank.

"Okay!" said Kamei, innocently entering the bathroom with his brother, as both gently washed each other back and hair, and then went to sleep in the same bed as well.

Frank felt the warmness of Kamei fill his cold body, as he fell asleep quite soothingly.
