"...Excuse boss, what were you doing when you answered yesterday?"
"What's with the formal tone? Just call Kousuke like before." He replied nonchalantly before raising his arm to call the waitress. He ordered a cup of ice mocha coffee and a blueberry croissant before turning his attention back to her.
"Alright. Then Kousuke, what were you doing when you answered my call before?" She asked again. Her eyes were covered with her bangs at the mont, so Kousuke couldn't tell whether she was being serious or simply asking.
"Hm? Well if you want to know, I was..." He slowly said before pausing as if waiting for a reaction. i didn't disappointed him as he noticed her face inching closer almost imdiately as if she was pulled by his voice like a magnet. Then with a sly grin tilted on his lips, Kousuke continues.
"I was exercising, you know, to stay healthy and all." He stopped and watch as her expression fell flat as if his answer didn't et whatever expectations running through her mind. "What's that reaction? Are you expecting sothing else?"
Then he leans closer and whispered. "Like maybe, you wanted to hear saying I was laying the pipe with my girlfriend?"
The implication in his words was clear even without stating the obvious. i's face turned red at his blunt attitude when ntioning a sexual innuendo so close to her ears. The boy was a few years younger than her, so she didn't expect him to be so vulgar in eccentric way. Most important of all, this was her business's boss!
"I-I was only asking! Don't think much of it!" i imdiately responded as if to defend herself. But then she suddenly furrowed her brows. "...then, what about that mark on your neck?"
"Oh this? It's a mosquito bite from this morning," he lied naturally as he breaths. After all a hickey and mosquito bite does shared more than similar appearance. They also feels itchy for obvious reasons. If anyone's smart, they would know he was lying.
"Ah... I see, it was raining hard the night before," i said before nodding. Unfortunately she's like a certain part ti teacher and full ti valkyrie that basically had no experience in relationship except from movies, so she believes him. It would have gone differently if the topic is about business.
As if on cue, the waitress brought a tray to their table before placing Kousuke's orders carefully and headed to another table. i suddenly recalled her reason for inviting him to this cafe, so she cough to clear her throat before speaking.
"The reason for today's eting is because I wanted to hear your thought about Mythos Atelier's future developnt." She said before bringing the lukewarm tea cup to her lips and sipping. She continues after placing it back down. "Like do you have any plan in taking a custom order from clients? Or what future direction do you have in mind for our business?"
"It hasn't been that long, was it necessary?" He asked before taking a bite out of blueberry croissant, then nodding his head in appreciation. "Damn, that's a good croissant. Anyway, I don't mind having a custom order, just notify ahead of ti so I can free my schedule."
"As for future direction, well, I do have so ideas." He continues while stroking his perfectly smooth chin out of habit. He used to have so facial hair in the past, but his body went through a huge changes in Otherworld. Now nothing grows there, not even the facial hair below—but this in turn makes his actual hair much more silky and tough, which rendered shampoo useless.
i notes down his words with a nod. "Yes, this sort of things is necessary so that we can show the investors that our business are solid. Then do you mind introducing to these ideas? I hope it's nothing too crazy."
"Since we're going with myth the, I thought of bringing sothing fictional to life." He stated with a smirk. This idea ca to him while he was catching up the ani he had been missing during his disappearance. Unfortunately so ani weren't so lucky, like No Ga No Life, there was no news about season 2. Maybe he will just fund it himself at this rate, heck, he could even help them with his cheat. But that's later down the line, for now he will focus on his business.
"...What?" i had a bad feeling, she understands every words he said but the context still doesn't make any sense to her. "What do you an by bringing sothing fiction to life?"
"Have you heard of virtual world?" He said with a mysterious smile.
"Of course, you're talking about that VR headset that recently ca out right? It's an excellent tech, however the market doesn't look bright since it's quite new."
"If you're praising that low effort tech that much, then you're in for a surprise. But I'll need so ti, maybe a month or two by estimation," Kousuke muttered, he can make the capsule in a day if he put his mind to it, but there's not much point in that. At least not until he create a whole new ga engine that cos with it. Otherwise it's like releasing a console without a ga, it might as well be useless piece of junk.
His goal is simple. He wanted to play a ga like Sword Art Online, and his power can make that into reality. If he just let the technology slowly develop, then the world might end before sothing close to that is even possible. The current tech simply leave much to be desire, he can't wait that long.
Kousuke's no longer afraid of people stirring trouble for him. At this point, the supernatural world likely has his info spread around. That was part of his plan since Vali challenged him. He had also killed Loki, the God of Mischief, so it won't be long before Odin or other gods from the Norse Mythology make a move. Of course that is if they're brave enough to face him, he had already slain Demon God, a whole pantheon doesn't flinch him at all.
"Are you sure about that? Releasing an advanced tech might not necessarily be a good thing," i voices out her concern, she sneakily steal a glance around the cafe and sighed in relief when she realized there were no custors near their spot. If the governnt learned that the inventor is just a highschool student, she won't be surprised if he gone missing the second ti. Of course she was doubtful he could even make sothing like that to begin with, but on the smallest chance that he did, it's better to devise a plan before anything bad happen.
"Aww, Sis i is worrying about ? You're too kind, how are you still single though?"
"Ngh! T-That last lines was unnecessary!" She defensively shouted as she sat up, but sit back down a mont later with red cheeks and her head hung low. i noticed so custors turning their heads to their table, even the waitress seems surprised by her sudden burst of emotion. It was embarrassing, she feels like digging a hole to hide.
