Chapter 14: A helping hand

Later at night. Seiko is in Farhat's room. Ali was there too.

"What is it? What do you want to talk about?"

"I have a request."

"What? You will not pay money for eating with us, I don't have any problem."

"No, it's not that. You see, I'm having a hard time doing this job alone. I thought it would be great to get a helping hand. I have found someone suitable for this job. So if you don't mind, can we hire him?"

"Ya, I don't have any problem."

"Another thing is that he has 5 siblings. They are not blood-related but they are small. So if they can stay with you in the field then he doesn't have to worry about their security."

"That would be great. I had a hard time finding a way to pass time, this way I can pass time."

"Thank you, Thank you very much. I wish the king was this kind. Then these kids didn't need to suffer."

"He is. It's his subordinates, who don't do their work and seize the money of the poor."

"How do you know?"

Ali says "Dad was his bodyguard."

"Now I'm his friend. That reminds me should I teach them some magical techniques and self-defense?"

"I would be grateful for that."

The next day, when Seiko was delivering food, he met the leader of the team of thieves he was in.

"So, you have become the slaves of nobles. As expected."

"You don't have to feel sad. If you have anything else to say then say it."

"I wanted to set a new world a better world and you have ruined it." his voice carried anger

"By leaving the squad?"

"No, By sending Faris to the magical academy."

"He went there on his own choice."

"You don't know how talented he was. He was at least at the level of a Captain. He will get rotten in the academy and become a slave of the nobles, just like you."

"If you know that much about him, then you must have tried to provoke him. Who gave you the right to drag them to destruction?"

"Destruction? I am trying to show him the true nature of the world."

Seiko gave him a threatening glare and said: "Don't ever drag children in it." Seiko's deadly glare scared him.

Let me teach you the way, you will measure power level. Those who have higher than average mana, Their mana level is called 'Soldier' It has 5 tiers. Then comes 'Vice-Captain'. Then 'Captain'. Then comes the 'Knight'. It has 7tiers. The last 2 are "Commander" and "General".

Seiko takes the white hair and the children to the bakery.

Farhat said, "This is the boy you talked about yesterday."

"Yes."

"What is your name?"

"Rachid Abdi."

Farhat looks at the children and says "All of you tell me your name one by one."

All of them told their names. The boys who stole food, they were Mehdi Ahmed and Hania Adam. Other children's names are Fouzia, Emna, and Omar. Two of them are girls.

Farhat shouts "Ali, Afrin!"

They come and Farhat says "This is my son and my daughter. By the way, How old are you Rachid?"

"15"

"You are the same as them, hope you guys get along. Ok, time to go."

Seiko says "Everyone, go with Mr.Farhat"

"Ali!" Seiko says.

Being annoyed he replies "Yes."

"You were talking about the event."

"Which event?"

"The event King is organizing."

"Ya, What about that?"

"When will it occur?"

"At the end of this month."

With excitement, he says "I'm going to wash my clothes and take a bath. I need to prepare myself."

Rachid says "You don't have any chance. You will only break your heart."

Ali says "He didn't notice anything you said."

Seiko goes inside the house and takes Ali's cloth.

"Oi Oi what are you doing with my clothes?"

"I need to change."

"Buy your clothes."

They start fighting for cloth.

With a quiet voice, Afrin says "Rachid, take this."

She gives him a glass of juice. "You came to our house for the first time, we don't have anything, so, please accept it."

"oh, You don't need to do this." before Rachid said, he was lost in thought for a few seconds.

Seiko says to Ali "Ali Look! Rachid is taking your sister away."

Ali looks behind. In the meantime, Seiko runs away. Ali got bamboozled. He starts to follow him. Seiko shouts "Rachid come with us."

They went to a pond and took a bath together.

Seiko showed all roads and shortcuts. After that, they went to Farhat's field to take the children. Seiko asks Farhat "What do you think about these children?"

Farhat says "Mehdi and Adam are fast learners. They can become strong. I also took a memory test and Emna and Omar did very well. As for Fouzia, she was interested in farming and food. Omar is a quiet kid."

"Can you please teach them how to read and write?"

"I'm doing that."

"Thank you."

"So, What are you planning to do with them."

"Nothing, I want them to live a normal life."

Farhat laughs. While trying to hold it, he says "I was expecting some massive plan. Here, you are answering like an old man."

With a sad face, he says "Anyway, I'm doing your job, you have to fulfill my wish. Please look after Ali. You see, he wants to go on an adventure. I stopped him. I understand the excitement, But I promised his mother, I will never leave their side. I got scared, After losing his mother they are the only ones in my life. I don't want to lose them. So please look after him. Don't let him do anything reckless."

"I won't let him."

"Thank you. Let's go home."

***

"Oi lazy monkey."

Yes?

"You should name this novel "The time I got reincarnated as a Gentai protagonist." That way you will get more readers."

So what would be the synopsis?

"You have read/ watched a lot of Gentai. This is the story that starts when your f*ping ends. In this story, you will learn how a Gentai protagonist deals with everything after the fun part ends."

It's not the story I'm making.

"Viewers won't notice it because they are -"

Oh, Sh*t it's FBI they are here to kill me for the copyright law you and I have broken. How did they find me? I am in the basement. I also need to hide the corpse of that editor.

"you didn't take care of that?"

No

"Sh*t"
