My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death-Chapter 685 - Many Things

-----

Frank was quite surprised by the sheer amount of children that were in the orphanage, all these children were being abused by the nuns, with minimal care, one plate of food a day, and terrible living conditions. After seeing the living like this, Frank couldn't help but feel angered at himself for having taken longer than he should to rescue them.

He had brought them to his Monster Pet Nursery, as this large building was like a gigantic manor with an even larger space inside thanks to Yurei's ability of expanding the internal space of the building the same way she does with her other bodies, making it possible for all the children to be able to get a new and bigger room than before.

The room was clean and had white ceramic in the floor, with wooden walls and ceiling, there were light bulbs from Earth in here, which lighted by just pressing a switch. Frank had also brought most of the products for the children from Earth and the clothes from Terra as the fashion of Terra was kind of the same European Medieval Fashion than in Gaia.

But in other things, such as the bathroom utensils, the beds, bed clothes, cushions, furniture, and even food, he just brought it all from Earth and decided to give it to the children. Their beds were soft and warm, and they were happy, the beds made from Earth were the best even when compared to Gaia and Terra, so they were ideal for children. There were also most of the clothes that wouldn't usually be seen given to them, such as underwear.

The kids were also given the chance to eat to their heart's contents now, eating delicious foods from Earth's convenience store and supermarkets, which Frank told them that it was just the food that aristocrats ate… Many of them loved instant ramen and how easy it was to make, alongside other food from Earth such as the fresh vegetables that felt fresher than anything in Gaia, the noodles, rice, meat, and more…

All the children were enjoying the food more than anything, as they had lived most of their lives in an orphanage where they barely had anything to eat, they had become obsessed with eating delicious food more than anything, it was an unhealthy obsession, but Frank was planning to balance it out by making them work around the monster pet nursery and also taking care of the many monster pets in the entire building, of course, like with Miriam, he planned to gift each of the children with one of the monster pets.

The amount of kids that Frank ended adopting that time were over almost 20 children, ending at 18 in total, all of them with their distinct personalities, fears, and strengths, Frank didn't really had the time and patience to raise these children as his true sons, but they were already mostly all mature-minded, and were already kind of raised by Miriam, whom they saw as their big sister, so she said that she would take care of them with the help of Frank's wives, while he would supervise them and spend time with them teaching them other things.

Orb was particularly happy over this because she would finally have some time to do something and became a teacher of the children that taught them basic math, magic usage, and more. Orb was a Dungeon Core that had attained a level of godhood, which actually made her incredibly intelligent and had the same capabilities as a super computer, capable of storing enormous quantities of information and doing amazing internal calculations too, so she was an excellent teacher.

After Frank took the children with him, the nuns were left completely alone and without kids, and after a soldier from the Riverside City Government reported to the Duke that this orphanage didn't even had children anymore as they were all adopted, the duke decided to close the orphanage because he was wasting money giving it to some nuns that nobody cared for, leaving the two women in the streets. Of course, they already had a lot of money saved so they went off somewhere else, Frank hasn't know anything about them since then, and he hoped that he wouldn't know anymore of them ever again.

However, this didn't meant that children from the streets wouldn't have a place to be picked up and given the care they required, there were another three orphanages around the entirety of the Riverside City already, and they were actually way better than the garbage where Miriam and her siblings were, even then, Frank left his troops patrolling the areas at night looking for any child in need of a home, abandoned children were quite common in a cruel and harsh world such as this one.

And ever since the incident where these children were adopted, it has been almost a month, and Frank's sales had been slowly increasing over this time, although there were sometimes when sales dropped, they would sometimes recover the next days, maintaining an stable increase on income over time.

The children he adopted had begun to willingly help Frank in the shop as much as they could in an attempt to imitate their big sister Miriam, helping out tremendously in attending clients and making everything a bit more organized as well. However, Frank was still adapting to everything going on. He still had a hard time attending so many clients and sometimes he felt a bit too stressed as more people constantly came to his store, he had begun to think about organizing the store like a supermarket where people would be able to grab whatever they wanted and then buy it to make it quite easier…

Problems such as people trying to steal from him wouldn't be a thing to worry about because Yurei would easily catch them and Frank would quickly find these people thanks to her and kick them out of the store, usually after three attempts, he banned them, and if they tried to get inside for a fourth time, they would be sent to authorities. ƒ𝘳𝗲𝑒𝒘𝐞𝚋𝚗𝐨v𝘦l.𝒄o𝐦

And like that, a month has passed, and the tournament was finally coming closer.
