With a clear crack, the jar shattered, and its contents tumbled out under Kaya's eager gaze.
"They came out, they came out! Things really came out of the jar!"
Seeing the items roll out, little Kaya was so excited she grabbed Amon's hand and shook it hard.
Across from him, Kaya's father could not stop smiling either.
He had not expected that just opening a jar would make her this happy.
It made him quietly grateful to Amon in his heart.
Even if the jar did not produce anything that could cure Kaya's illness, he thought, he would still owe this jar merchant a great favor just for making his daughter smile like this.
...
Kaya carefully held the three little items in her hands and passed them to Amon with both hands.
Amon took them and began to appraise them with the system, focusing seriously.
Kaya was, after Kuina, one of the people he particularly wanted to help.
Right now he was begging the jar in his heart to give this little girl some real good fortune.
As the system scan completed, the attributes of the three items appeared in his mind one after another.
...
[Tea Mastery]: After using this card, the user gains a breakthrough understanding of tea making.
[Intermediate Marrow Cleansing Elixir]: A product from the H-star system, refined from condensed nebula gel. After drinking, it washes the marrow and strengthens the body, greatly increasing physical toughness and eliminating hidden injuries and illnesses.
[Pokémon Kirlia]: A Pokémon from the Pokémon world. As an adult it can evolve into Gardevoir. Currently sealed in a Pokéball. After use, you obtain a Kirlia.
...
Amon quickly finished reading through them.
The first was Tea Mastery, which fit Kaya perfectly. She did seem to have quite the affinity for tea.
The second was a potion, and the moment he saw its description, Amon's heart leaped with joy.
He did not know exactly what disease Kaya had, but with this elixir, he was almost certain her strange illness would be completely wiped out.
She would no longer be trapped in this lonely room, hidden from the sun.
The last item was a Pokéball.
To be honest, Amon was a little surprised the moment he saw it.
He had not expected Kaya to open a Pokémon, and a Psychic and Fairy type at that: Kirlia.
It was very practical. Whether for battle or just as company, it was perfect. Most importantly, Kirlia had a gentle, elegant look that suited a girl like Kaya very well.
He could already picture the two of them becoming close friends.
With Kirlia by her side, Kaya would not be so lonely anymore.
Three items, all excellent in their own way.
After he finished reading, Amon genuinely felt happy for her.
...
"Sir, how is it? Even if there is nothing that can cure me, it is all right. Please do not blame yourself."
Seeing Amon remain silent for so long, a flicker of disappointment passed through Kaya's eyes.
But she quickly hid it, forcing a bright smile back onto her face as she tried to comfort him instead.
She really was so sensible it made one's heart ache.
"Who said there was nothing for you?"
Amon chuckled softly.
"It is just that our dear Kaya's luck is so good that I was stunned for a moment. That is why I did not speak."
"Really? Sir, there really is something that can cure my illness? That is wonderful. Thank you, sir. I am so happy."
The moment she heard that there really was a cure, Kaya grabbed Amon's hand and almost bounced in place, her joy overflowing.
Her father and Merry looked both shocked and thrilled, their eyes fixed on Amon, afraid he was just saying that to make her happy.
"Of course it is true."
Amon reached out and gently tapped Kaya's little nose.
"Why would I lie to you. As long as you drink this Marrow Cleansing Elixir, your illness will be gone."
He took out the bottle of Marrow Cleansing Elixir and held it up.
At the same time, he gave Kaya's father and Merry a small nod, telling them silently that he was not joking.
"Here, Kaya. Drink this and you will be healed."
Amon was worried that Kaya did not have the strength to open the bottle herself, so he quickly twisted the cap off for her.
As soon as the bottle opened, a refreshing fragrance wafted out.
With just one breath, everyone present felt a rush of clarity in their minds, and their fatigue faded as if swept away.
Whatever doubts they still had vanished completely.
If merely smelling it had that kind of effect, then there was no way this potion was ordinary. They were now sure it could cure Kaya's illness.
...
"It is sweet. It is not bitter at all, sir."
Kaya had braced herself for something as bitter as all the medicine she had taken before.
She had already prepared for the worst.
But the Marrow Cleansing Elixir tasted pleasantly sweet, and warmth spread through her whole body as she drank it.
She felt comfortable, light, almost as if she were floating on a cloud.
Her weak arms and legs began to fill with strength.
Her pale cheeks quickly flushed with healthy color.
In less than a minute, the fragile little girl had turned into an energetic, lively girl.
Her father, Merry, and Doctor Hock all looked like they were witnessing a miracle.
Off to the side, Amon's smile deepened as he watched Kaya change.
...
"Kaya, how do you feel?"
Even though Kaya's father could clearly see the difference, he still asked with barely contained excitement.
"Dad, I feel wonderful. My whole body is full of strength. I feel like I can jump really high. Look."
Kaya bent her knees slightly, gathered strength in her legs, and leapt.
She shot straight up and landed lightly on the second-floor landing.
...
Kaya's father: OvO
Merry: A...O
Doctor Hock: ^0^
