Chapter 21: Unknown Object

"Well then, I will see you in the morning. Good night," Xavier said as he lay down on the bed and instantly drifted into unconsciousness.

"Sweet dreams, Master Xavier," Samuel said with a small smile as he went to return the bag to its original place—not the wardrobe from which Xavier had taken it, but rather the hidden compartment where his mother had originally stored it.

In the basement’s secret room, hidden beneath a sword, lay a small black object. At first glance, it appeared unremarkable. However—

Flash!

A faint red light flickered to life at its center.

"Snnrrk... snrrrk... snrrk..."

It was already 10 a.m., yet Xavier was still fast asleep. His loud snores echoed through the room as drool dripped from the corner of his mouth. Even Jaffar, his cat, had already woken up.

"Meow~! Meow~!" he cried, pawing at Xavier’s face in an attempt to wake him.

Samuel, who was standing quietly in the corner—completely invisible—watched the scene unfold with mild amusement.

’Cute,’ he thought.

’But also smart.’

Samuel easily deciphered the meaning behind the cat’s insistent meows.

’It is saying: Get up, human! The big boss is coming, and she’s not happy!’

’Huhu. Intelligent little furball. And the big boss? Who else could it be other than Lady Anna?’

’Hmm... I should also wake him up. It is getting a bit late and I also have to train him. Hm?’

Strange writings appeared in Samuel’s retina.

[System Reboot – 5%]

’Still only at five percent, huh? Well, I suppose that is to be expected. At this rate, it will take months—maybe more than a year—before I regain access to most of my abilities. With my current strength, I could barely take down a single county. Truly pitiful.’

’But since it’s reached five percent, it means I’ll be able to use that ability again. It’s not what I wanted, but it’s what I need.’

Beep

Creak

A soft beeping sound echoed as Xavier’s room unlocked, and with a gentle creak, the door opened.

Tak Tak Tak

A beautiful woman who appeared no older than thirty, with flowing brunette hair, stepped into the room. Her face was framed with a deep frown—it was Anna, the big boss.

’Lady Anna...’

"Wuyeow!" Jaffar bolted at the sight of her expression, fleeing the room with his tail high. He did not want to get caught up in what was going to happen.

Anna walked to the bed and yanked the blanket off. She raised her left hand, and in the next second—

Slap!

"Ahyaa!"

Xavier shrieked in pain and held his throbbing backside.

"Ow! That hurt! What was that for?"

"You lazy bum! It’s already 10 a.m.! How long do you plan on lazing around in bed? Get up this instant!"

"Oh? It’s only 10 a.m.? Then I can sleep for one more hour. Haah... good night."

Slap!

"Uurgh!!"

"Get up this instant, or I’ll throw you out myself! You hear me!?"

"Y-yes ma’am!" Xavier shot up and saluted before darting into the bathroom to freshen up. He knew better than to test her patience any further.

"Huff... just what do I do with this boy?" Anna sighed, pressing her fingers against her forehead.

"Oh! That is right, I need to buy groceries. Why do I keep forgetting such things nowadays?"

"Well, I am over seventy years old, so that’s to be expected, I guess." She mumbled as she turned to leave, when—

Skhng!

She hurled a knife that embedded itself in a wall at the corner of the room. Her eyes narrowed dangerously as she scanned the area like a hawk.

"Haah... guess it really was just my imagination. I’m getting too old for this" She walked over and retrieved the knife.

Click

This time, she exited the room and shut the door behind her.

’She is gone. That was close,’ Samuel thought.

The moment he sensed something off, he moved positions—had he stayed put, he would have definitely been spotted.

’Hmm... Lady Anna’s senses are still razor sharp. I will have to be more careful.’

Ten minutes later, Xavier emerged from the washroom, fully refreshed.

"Hey, Samuel, you there?" Xavier whispered, frowning slightly.

"Yes," Samuel replied, turning off his invisibility and appearing beside him.

"Because of you making me do that at dawn, I slept real late and got hit because of it."

"Master Xavier, it is all part of your training. We had to do it for reasons you know yourself."

"Fine, I get it. But, when do we start the training?"

"After you finish your breakfast we will depart as soon as we can"

"Alright. Oh, by the way, do you want to eat something?"

"No, Master Xavier."

"Why? Can’t Androids eat? Oh—sorry if that’s personal. You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to."

"It is alright, Master Xavier. No need to apologize. And as for your question—Androids can ’taste’ food and even swallow it, but we can’t ’digest’ it as humans do. Or at least, that’s the case for me."

"I see," Xavier nodded.

"However, Androids have our own form of ’food.’"

"Oh? What might that be?"

"Charge," Samuel replied.

"I see. Well, I will go and eat then."

"Alright," Samuel nodded.

Xavier went to the dining room and sat down at the table. Sarah, who had been playing on her phone, immediately put it aside and smirked.

"Hehe~ Brother got his butt kicked by Auntie," she teased.

"Shut up. It is not like you wake up very early either."

"Hmph~ At least I woke up earlier than you. Bleh~" She stuck out her small pink tongue.

"You...! Haah... whatever," Xavier said, shaking his head and digging into his breakfast.

"Hey! Do not ignore me!" Sarah said, pointing her finger in protest.

Xavier didn’t respond and continued eating.

"Mmph!" she huffed and stormed off to her room.

After finishing his meal, Xavier washed the dishes and placed them back in their spots.

"Xavier?" Anna called from the kitchen.

"Yes, Mom?"

"Are you okay?"

’Huh?’

"Why would you-"
