Golden Fox with System

The next morning, Theo woke up confused, since he had memories of 'catching' someone from the Kenedy Clan and taking him to the Dimensional Room, but he couldn't remember who they were, their name or even their face. It was bizarre.

Ever since Theo arrived in this world, his memory had significantly improved compared to his past life. He would rarely if ever, forget something now. Even more so something that happened within a matter of only days ago.

But as much as he thought about it, he couldn't manage to remember all of what had happened yesterday. It was a peculiar condition for him. "Whatever… it's far from something I need to handle right away… I just hope it doesn't end up harming the girls or me in some way." While he thought about it, he soon arrived in the living room.

Soon his eyes fell upon Leticia, Alicia and especially little Eloah. He could still notice little Eloah's disquiet and also her fear of offending anyone. Theo could only sigh at this situation, only hoping that in time, she could move past her trauma.

"Well, if need be, I could still erase her terrifying past, but at the moment, I can still only erase some recent memories. To erase anything deeper wouldn't be so easy for me at the moment."

Upon thinking about 'erasing' her memory, Theo thought of the strange fact that happened to him this morning. "Why do I feel like they are involved too?" He wondered.

"I'm back!" Nanda announced as she walked in.

"Welcome back." Aine said, "Did you get everything?" Finding it strange that her dear sister wasn't carrying what she said she would buy.

"Yes, it's in the Dimensional Bag we bought from Theo," Nanda replied with a smile.

"Oh, yes… I had even forgotten that." Aine said awkwardly. But you can't blame her, that was something they had recently obtained. Before they met Theo, they could hardly even dream of having such an item, it was not something they could ever afford.

Nanda laughed in response, and upon arriving in the living room, she said to everyone, "Hmm. The Sects that came to the city yesterday have begun to accept applications, and tomorrow they will begin to have examinations for accepting disciples."

Ariana remarked, "But isn't that weird?"

"What's weird?" Shina asked.

"Shina, you were no longer living in Ravenna at the time, so you wouldn't know, but it hasn't been even a year since these Sects came for disciples, and now, not even 7 months later, they're back!" Answered Ariana.

"That…"

After hearing that, Shina was also very intrigued by this development. In all the years she had lived in Ravena City, this was the first time she had heard of this happening. It has happened that they almost missed recruitment for over a year, but this is the first time she has heard that they have come back so frequently!

"Yeah… this is really weird." Nanda and Aine commented.

"Well, it's no use trying to understand those people from the big Sects," Ariana said casually.

"Yes, I think so too." Nanda agreed and asked, "By the way, are any of you interested in trying to join one of these Sects?"

"No!" Everyone answered.

In fact, they have found that their current situation is much better than going to one of these Sects, especially since they are with the people they love.

Not long after, Nanda and Shina went to the kitchen to make breakfast while they continued to talk.

Theo, on the other hand, had been thinking hard all this time, trying to remember what had happened yesterday. He could tell that he had a hole in his memories, but as hard as he tried to remember, he couldn't.

"Huh… I remember I was on the veranda with Yuki and then… for some reason, I left. But then I went to a house and went into it in a "Panic" form. But just after that?" Theo thought, thoroughly confused. "Right after I left, I flew over and entered the Dimensional Room… and then left again and returned to the Orphanage… Grrr… I can't remember, but I'm sure I was with someone! And on top of that, it was someone I was watching for information… but why can't I remember?"

He began to be afraid that he had come across a powerful existence that altered his memories of yesterday. That would be the only possibility that could make sense to him.

"Whattttt!?"

The girls and children were surprised to notice Theo's odd behavior and saw him scream out of nowhere, rising from his chair.

"What happened, Theo?" Yuki asked.

"Dad, is everything okay?" Little Yui, who was sitting next to him, grabbed his sleeve and asked.

Theo looked at everyone and tried to calm down. After taking a deep breath and sighing, he sat back down and said as naturally as possible, "It's nothing much, I just 'saw' something out there with my Divine Sense that surprised me."

"I understand…"

Despite being surprised by this, they didn't think about it much.

"I'm going to the workshop to cultivate," Theo said. But in fact, he wanted to be alone to test this new function that he unlocked in the System.

"Huh, we're going to open the Weapons Shop too," said Nanda.

Hearing this, Theo turned and said, "Alright. I think it's better not to announce that we are going to sell level 3 weapons. Although I said before that I would sell one level 3 weapon a week and this would be the first time, because of the sects that are currently in the city, it would be better not to offer it right now."

"…"

"Yes, I also agree with Theo," said Ariana.

"So let's do this, I'm glad we hadn't announced it yet." Aine agreed.

"Well then, let's do it this way: we'll start as soon as the Sects leave the City," said Nanda.

"Okay, I'm going then." Theo said and started walking toward the Workshop.

"Yui is going to meditate too." Said little Yui, and soon after she ran out of the room.

Yuki smiled and said, "You can go too, I'll take care of the kids."

"Thanks! We'll be leaving them in your care then," said Nanda and them.

Soon after, Shina, Zaika and Zaira headed toward the Meditating Workshop, while Nanda, Aine, Ariana, Lily and the others left to open the Weapon Shop.
