My Level Zero System

The answer is... keep it quiet.

All will be put into a missing status. Wait until a few years later when the other families have calmed down or have new heirs, then slowly announce it, along with compensation from Kanzax Academy.

A very cruel measure, but also very practical.

Emotions are not something that will last forever, the same emotion at different times will also bring different vibes.

…

The next morning, all three of them, Kain, Myra, and Mera, were informed of what had happened.

They were all told to keep it a secret, even though none of them had done anything wrong, but it was for everyone\'s good.

And as compensation, each of them was compensated 10000 Cents.

Kain was a little surprised that Toris could be so generous. After all, the average income of a normal family is only around 150 Cents a month.

10000 Cents, which means Kain can live well without working for at least five years. As long as he doesn\'t get his hands on expensive things like weapons.

For now, Toris would stay behind to settle things properly. After a while, he would be able to leave and take them to Kanzax Academy.

Kain understood that this was to avoid anyone suspecting Toris of running away, otherwise it would greatly affect the reputation of Kanzax Academy.

"Kain, would you like to stay at my house until departure?"

As they walked out, Myra made a suggestion to Kain. Mera immediately chimed in.

"That\'s right, you staying outside still has the possibility of being exposed. You can come stay at our house, it\'s very very spacious."

Mera even spread her arms out, indicating that her house was very large. Her expression made Kain smile, he wanted to accept, but he still had work to do.

"Sorry guys, but I have to put that invitation behind me."

"During this time I will leave Whesling City to return to my village for a while. Don\'t worry, I will be there on time."

"Oh, well then I hope you have a good trip."

Myra didn\'t try to hold on, but Mera seemed to be… struggling?

Just as Kain turned to leave, Mera suddenly held out her hand.

"Wait!"

Kain turned his head, a puzzled expression on his face. A similar expression appeared on Myra\'s face.

Being stared at by both of them, Mera felt extremely embarrassed. But the arrow that had been released from the bowstring had no way of stopping.

"If so... can I go with you?"

"Huh?"

The question was directed at Kain, but the first to respond was Myra.

"Kain... can you.... can you wait for us a moment?"

"Ah…"

"Just a moment."

Myra finished speaking and immediately rushed towards Mera, the two sisters pulled each other away, leaving Kain standing rooted to the spot, not knowing what to do.

"Are you nuts?"

That was Myra\'s first sentence, Mera was embarrassed but still defended herself.

"You know what, I\'m helping you."

"Help? Help what?"

"Well... that is... promoting the relationship between the two sides. Won\'t Kain join your ranks later on?"

"Oh my god, my sister, your excuse is a bit too much."

Myra put her hands on her hips, momentarily not knowing what to say to Mera\'s cunning.

"You\'re not kidding?"

"Of course."

"Aren\'t you afraid Kain will... do something to you?"

Myra asked hesitantly, while unintentionally she glanced at Kain in the distance, in her heart she could only keep apologizing to him.

But the response to her question was Mera\'s somewhat contemptuous look.

"Who are you trying to fool, we\'ve been living with Kain for almost a month now."

"If there really were bad intentions, then it would be me having bad intentions towards him, not the other way around."

Speaking of this, Mera felt her face heating up, but she still had to try to act tough.

Myra looked into Mera\'s eyes, the two sisters facing each other.

Finally, Myra sighed.

"Dad won\'t agree, you know that."

"I don\'t need his consent."

Mera looked away, clearly a little angry.

Ever since their mother left, the relationship between their father and Mera had deteriorated significantly. Mera had become more and more rebellious as she grew older, and father and daughter had been estranged from each other for many years.

Standing between the two, Myra sometimes felt tired.

"Okay, you can do whatever you want, but the consequences…"

"I\'ll take care of it, you don\'t need to remind me of such a basic thing."

Mera then happily walked towards Kain, leaving her sister behind.

"Kain, I\'ll leave my sister to you for now. Think of it as... promoting our cooperation."

The smile on Kain\'s face stiffened, no matter what, he felt this reason was forced.

"Please take good care of Mera. She\'s... very straightforward, and sometimes very emotional."

"I understand, you can rest assured."

It was not convenient for Kain to refuse either.

So both Kain and Mera, wearing cloaks and hoods, entered the city.

"What are you going to do, Kain?"

"Buy some goods, of course I\'ll hire a carriage first."

Kain went over the list of goods he intended to buy in his head.

Kain would not buy food items like wheat, because the villages could produce them themselves. The goods he was after were more valuable items, typically spices like salt or black pepper, or tools made of iron.

"There\'s a lot going on huh. Can I contribute?"

"This is…"

Kain hesitated, but Mera insisted on being paid half the amount, arguing that this was a gift from her to his village. She is a guest, and it would be rude if she did not bring a gift.

Reluctantly, Kain could only agree.

After everything was ready, Kain led Mera to the Adventure Guild.

They looked at the quest board, which was already about a quarter filled with quests for Adventurers to find missing people in the Dungeon, and the rewards were all very generous. It seemed that the wealthy families had started to take action.
