UWTD 333: Fate
🕑 Added 2024-06-08 20:41:15 +0000 UTC‘That Administrator’s interference is heavy in this area.’ Feeling the same presence as that guy around this place, Adam acted like he didn’t sense it. The source of it all hid below the face of the earth.
‘But I can’t use the direct approach on her. I need to get around the prying eyes and make it believable.’ He could barge in and become a part of the matter, but doing that would be a crude way of botching the overall chance of reaching his goal.
That was why he tried to reach the goal through other ways. So far things were working in a good direction, and he could see a way to reach his target in time.
‘The plan should move forward in a week at most with Fubuki on board. So, there isn’t a need to hurry. Unless something unexpected happens.’ After confirming the wide lower floor and the stable second floor, Adam came out of the shop to meet Grayfia.
Her eyes glued to the phone screen which showed videos of their shop. Fubuki had become the face of the shop after what she did today. It helped Adam and her to take a step into the background.
“You’ve taken interest in her?” Adam asked as she turned the phone off to face him. So far, she hadn’t shown much interest in Fubuki, aside from some hatred and anger thanks to a bad first impression. But, it was different now.
“Because Master seems interested.” Grayfia had felt it from the small number of talks the two had. Adam had roped Fubuki into the fold on purpose.
Even now, he provided her with opportunities to be an active part of the plan. She understood part of it, but could only assume the rest of the reason. After all, he didn’t deny his interest in the woman.
“She’s got an interesting stake in the Fate of this universe.” His words caused her more confusion, something he expected.
“You see, each Universe has a set Fate. It is something that drives the world down a forward path. That can be destruction or prosperity for the lifeforms present. And one individual or at most times several of them influence the direction it could take. What they do and plan to do can change the destiny of the Universe itself.” Adam had made a point to check these things when entering the world as of late. This provided him with clues and information about what could happen.
“She is such an important individual?” Grayfia couldn’t think that someone that weak could affect the whole world with her actions.
“Despite her conditions, she is. That’s what makes her intriguing. So, I thought of keeping her close to see what happens. So far it hasn’t been a lot. But, soon her real value will come into play.” Adam explained. It wasn’t like he was low on time so it was fine.
Grayfia fell into deep thought to process the information. She felt like hearing something similar before, but nothing came to mind even if she stressed it. Yet, another question arose.
“Master, about my world… Were there people who had a big part in the Fate of that Universe too?” He nodded and she became curious about the person, it should be someone she knew of. And she was right.
“Hyoudou Issei, he has the biggest part in the Fate of your Universe.” His words sounded like a death sentence to her.
Hyoudou Issei was a notorious pervert. Sure that didn’t make him as bad as it sounded, but his attitude wasn’t something that could match the stature of such a responsibility. It was even worse than Fubuki’s case. She feared something might happen to the world in their absence, but settled down the next instant.
‘Rias and Akeno are there, if something happens they could arrive at the shop and alert Master.’ Walking behind him, Grayfia focused her mind on the task at hand.
Feeling her calm down Adam smiled, if she hadn’t he would’ve told her about the measures he had in place to prevent such problems. Not to mention the Administrator of Rias’ world was a capable one. The old man would avoid the problems before he had to intervene.
‘Well, it is kind of normal for her to worry about her home. Everyone she knows lives there, even her brother she recently met. If I remembered my home world, a place where my family lived… I would’ve worried about it too. Well, not that I can go there even if I knew.’ In the back of his mind, Adam made a plan to revisit her world so Grayfia could spend some time with her brother.
“Master, is something bothering you?” She asked as he went silent for a while.
“Nothing really.” Adam smiled, “By the way, want to try out that crepe? It looks good.”
“As you wish, Master.” Grayfia followed as the two spent their day going around the cities to check on shop locations and enjoy treats along the way.
With night above them they arrived at the shop in Y City around 9 P.M. The shop had closed for the day. What greeted them were bodies sprawled on the floor and tables. It looked like they had died, but they weren’t.
“They sure had a busy day.” Adam chuckled making his way to the Heroes side of the shop.
The people he was waiting for had finally arrived, and they were waiting for him. But, the first one he saw upon entering was Fubuki.
“You finally came back, Partner.” Her face mired with exhaustion, yet she forced through with a smile.
“Yeah, the work took longer than expected. I am sorry to keep you waiting.” Adam’s eyes went to the two individuals sitting across her on the table.
“It is fine Mr. Adam. We waited voluntarily. Though I know that you’ve had a busy day, may I be shameless enough to ask for a little of your time?” The man with a robotic eye stood up to greet him like his partner.
“It is totally fine.” Adam smiled as he had been waiting for them.
The Hero Association had finally arrived.
