Hearing the concerned voices of the two, Irish raised her head and looked at them.
Seeing them look at her with worry, Irish immediately shook her head.
"I just thought of something, it's nothing important." She said,
Just as she said that, Melody suddenly jumped into her, with her arms spread out.
Irish was startled but immediately reacted and caught Melody with her arms, embracing her.
"Melody, why did you do that? What if you fall!" She said, voice full of worry.
It seems like Irish has started acting like a real mother without her noticing.
Maybe this is because she has decided to treat Melody as her own.
But as if she did not hear what Irish said, Melody just hugged Irish tightly.
Then, with a childish voice, Melody said, "Don't be sad, Mama, Melody is here."
Irish paused, and it seems like she realized something.
Feeling that she was sad, Melody, in her own way, wanted to comfort her!
Irish's can't help but feel warm in her heart.
When Melody let go of her embrace, Irish looked her in the eyes and with a gentle smile, she said, "Mama is okay now. Thank you, Melody."
A big smile immediately covered Melody's face.
She felt a little proud because she made her mama happy.
On the side, Nathan watched their interaction with a slight smile on his face.
'It won't be bad to have a family like this…' he thought in a daze.
Nathan continued observing Melody for a while more as he talked with both Irish and her.
After seeing that there was nothing wrong with Melody, Nathan decided to leave.
Getting up, he said, "Irish, I'll be going first for now. I still have something to do."
"Ah! You're going already? Why don't you stay for a bit more and eat lunch before leaving?"
Irish said as she tried to get up but was stopped by Nathan.
"Just stay there, no need to see me out, I will just go by myself." He said, "As for lunch, I'm sorry but I still have a plan for later so I can't stay for lunch."
Irish was a little disappointed after hearing that.
But Nathan's following words immediately revitalize her.
"Since I can't accompany you now, I'll invite you next time, let's go on a date." Nathan said with a carefree smile.
Irish face was like a blooming flower as she showed a bright smile that could even dazzle the most straight steel man out there.
"Yes, I will wait for it!"
After that, the two chatted for a little more before Nathan said goodbye and left Irish's house.
…
After leaving Irish's house, Nathan drives his car while thinking of his plan for today.
Nathan did not lie when he told Irish that he had a plan in the afternoon.
One of the things in his itinerary is to head to Camp at Mt. Tralala.
He wants to see if he can gather more information about the Naecosians that might help him when the time to make contact with them comes.
Along the way, Nathan also plans to see the old man Cardo, who's now the guard of Mt. Tralala, and decide whether to help him awaken his soul talent or not.
Nathan still has a Soul Talent Awakener in hand and he doesn't mind giving it to old man Cardo.
As his first subordinate in the system, awakening his talent is a must!
"Let's see if this is the right time to give to him now." Nathan muttered.
Stepping on the accelerator, the car shot through the roads of the city.
…
When he arrived at the foot of Mt. Tralala, Nathan saw the construction of his apartment buildings.
From the looks of it, the construction will be finished in about 2 to 3 days as long as no problem happens within that time.
Nodding in satisfaction, Nathan stepped out of the car.
It seems like Mr. Jerry isn't here today as no one approached Nathan as he arrived.
But the construction workers from afar still greeted him when they saw him.
After smiling at them, Nathan continued to walk, climbing up the mountain in no time.
When he was just some distance away from the forest, Nathan saw Cardo, who was patrolling the mountain.
Cardo also saw him at this time and hurriedly approached.
He greeted, "Boss, good morning!"
Nathan nodded with a slight smile, "Good morning."
"So, how's work?"
A big smile appeared on Cardo's old face, saying, "It was great, Boss! After consuming the fruit you gave me last time and improving my body, patrolling the mountain is just a piece of cake!"
"Good, good." Nathan said, "Then, I hope you can keep it up."
Saying that, a syringe appeared on Nathan's hand and handed it to Cardo.
With a confused face, Cardo asked, "Boss, what's this?"
"It's a good thing, I'll explain to you some other time. For now, use it after you get back home later."
Then he added, "Remember to buy a lot of food before taking it."
He patted Cardo on the shoulder and walked away, leaving a confused and curious Cardo standing there alone.
After a long time, Cardo muttered, "This isn't drugs… right?"
…
After separating with Cardo, Nathan headed to the pond and soon arrived at the Camp.
At this time, Mook was standing near the entrance, holding a broom and cleaning some dust.
Hearing someone approaching, Mook raised his head and saw Nathan.
"Hello, Leader!" He greeted.
Nathan nodded, "Hello, Mook."
After that, Nathan directly headed to the tower.
Heading up to the control room, Nathan did not waste any time to browse through the files within the database.
Nathan first looked through files related to the community of the Naecosians.
The Naecosians also have their own set of rules and customs.
They also have politics, laws, and their own ways of living, just like in today's world.
And right now, that is what Nathan is putting his focus on.
He wants to get a better understanding of the people called Naecosians to be able to communicate with them when the time comes.
Nathan thought about the Naecosian back in Arthur's room and he knows, it won't be long before he has to face them.
