Chapter 5: Chapter 5: future business
The moment they entered the small home Miki and Gorou both smiled at Alexander. He did not know if it was because he was now part wolf or something, but he could smell their good intentions.
Alexander could not help, but complain he did not have this in the past.
'This ability would have done wonders in my business deals. Smelling the intentions of people will be so useful.
I will be sure to use this in my future business deals. '
He was knocked out of his thoughts when he heard Miki's voice.
"Welcome to our home. Consider it yours as well.
We already picked out a room for you. "
He gave them a fake smile as he was not the best at smiling. Especially now when his teeth were like those of a wolf.
It made smiling uncomfortable especially when his 4 canines got in the way.
"Thank you for taking us into your home. Could not have been an easy choice.
"
Miki just shook her head as she noticed his issue. His teeth were unique so it made certain facial expressions difficult for him.
She wondered if they could take him to a doctor to smooth them out, but she had to ask him first.
"You don't need to be so formal. Consider this your home.
This way. "
He followed the both of the toward the room they picked out for him. It was rather plain as a single bed was by the window and a dresser with nothing in it.
Alexander placed Ragnarock on the bed and watched the wolf inspect the bed.
He noticed how the wolf was about to complain about it being so stiff.
'Just this once pretend you like it. '
Ragnarock sighed and did as he was told. The small wolf rolled on the bed to give the impression of being a normal pup.
Alexander sat down next to him and sighed in relief.
"You know when I still lived on the streets, my only source of warmth was an old dog who I named Daisy. So, I thank you for taking me in.
"
This was just Alexander speaking from his heart. No one had heard him speak of his early days not even Dariel as that was something he preferred to keep to himself.
If his backstory was the exact same as his past life it made sense.
Both Gorou and Miki sat next to him as they placed their hand on his shoulders.
"Well champ, you now have a home. You don't even have to think of us as your parents as you are probably too old for that.
Just think of us as your uncle and your aunt if that helps you. "
Miki gave him a tight hug as she patted his hair.
"You know, your eyes look truly gorgeous. "
Alexander looked at himself in the mirror and saw he looked just like his past life. The exception was his husky-like eyes and his pitch-black hair with purple highlights in it.
"Thank you, I have been told I look part dog. They truly gave me a compliment.
Dogs are better than people as they do not abandon you.
Miki hid her expression as it was full of sadness. What could have driven his parents to just leave him? Gorou sighed as he stood up.
"Well, that won't happen here Alexander. We will let you get set in.
"
Both Miki and Gorou left him and Ragnarok to their own devices. When the door closed his smile died as if it was never there.
He exhaled as he stood up and looked at his pet.
'Alright, time to get some things settled. '
Suddenly a set of black wolf ears with purple tips popped out of his head. A tail popped out of his lower back from his tailbone that wagged behind him.
He noticed how a hole had magically appeared in his pants, but it was not a tear.
Ragnarok approached his tail and swatted at it in confusion.
"Yeah, guess I am one of you now. "
That seemed to have excited the young pup who sat next to Alexander who was thinking of something. It was like it magically appeared through his clothes.
Alexander grimaced as his senses were far stronger like this than before. He could hear Gorou and Miki talking about how they made the right choice to adopt him.
He could hear all the people talking around him so he focused on their conversations. Some of it was pretty normal.
He even managed to find out the date when someone asked the date.
"September 3, 1990. I can be the first man to make a smartphone early.
I do not want to think about the crap that they called a phone during this time. I also will miss my watch.
"
Alexander stood up and looked at Ragnarock.
"Well, I am poor now. "
Hearing that made the small wolf fall limp on the bed as he would have to eat cheap meat. No more prime-grade food as it would all be choice.
Alexander chuckled at his pet's actions before he also sighed as he would have to eat like a regular person.
'This is terrible beyond terrible. Alright, good thing I know all there is to know about mobile phones and how to make one.
I just got to get the part to do it all. What can I do to get money quickly?'
Just as he was thinking about it he started to feel something odd. He did not notice it at first, but he was seeing some colorless mist flowing toward him.
Ragnarock looked up in awe at the mist that was flowing around them.
'What is that?'
Alexander reached out and touched the mist. The moment he made contact his body began to draw it in like a tidal wave.
A warm and confronting feeling made him fall on his bed with a euphoric look on his face.
'Now, this is a high I can get used to. '
The feeling only lasted a few seconds as the torrent stopped.
