A World Where Kael Lives

CHAPTER 4 – KAEL GETS THE JOB. HUMANITY IS NOT READY.

CHAPTER 4 – KAEL GETS THE JOB. HUMANITY IS NOT READY.

May 05, 2025

Kael, being the humble warrior he is, gets the permanent job position at a convenience store.

Sora (muttering, horrified): "THIS IS THE WORST IDEA EVER."

The Beginning of Absolute Chaos

One male student from Sora's school walked into a convenience store to buy a snack.

Then—he froze.

His fingers went numb.

His heart skipped a beat.

For there—casually arranging items on the shelf—stood KAEL SOLARIS.

STUDENT HAS ENTERED SHOCK MODE.

He dropped his snack.

He picked it up in a daze.

He paid at the counter, got his change…

Then BOLTED OUT OF THE STORE.

Student: (SPRINTING TO SCHOOL, PANTING FOR HIS LIFE.)

He burst through the school gates—wheezing—then unleashed a scream so powerful, dogs in the next town started howling.

"KAEL IS WORKING AT THE CONVENIENCE STORE!!!"

THE SCHOOL DESCENDED INTO CHAOS.

Female students entered PANIC MODE.

Even the female teachers struggled to maintain their composure.

The Aftermath: The Line That Never Ends

After school:
The convenience store is PACKED.

Female students form a line JUST to buy something from him.

Some buy ONE ITEM—just to say hello.

Some buy 50 SNACKS—just to stay in line longer.

Meanwhile, at the back of the line—
That Random Girl (smirking, unimpressed): "One is enough."

Students in line: "HOW IS SHE NOT AFFECTED?!"

Then, Kael speaks in his KNIGHTLY TONE.

Customer #1 (clutching chest): "I CAN’T BREATHE. THIS IS TOO MUCH."

Customer #2 (trembling): "DID HE JUST CALL THAT LADY ‘MY LADY’?!"

Customer #3 (literally combusting): "OH MY GOD, HE’S TOO POWERFUL. I’M DONE."

That Random Girl… BROKE THE SYSTEM.

It was finally That Random Girl’s turn at the register.

Kael (noble as ever, greeting her with a polite nod):
"Ah, my lady. How may I assist thee?"

The store held its breath.

Customer #3 (whispering): "Here it comes! She’s gonna blush! She’s gonna stammer!"

But then— SHE DIDN’T.

That Random Girl simply smiled politely, her movements calm and effortless.

That Random Girl (coolly, completely unaffected): "Just this, please."

She paid for her item, took her change… and casually walked away.

THE ENTIRE STORE FROZE.

Student #1: "…Did she just—?"

Student #2: "SHE DIDN’T BLUSH?!"

Student #3: "WHAT KIND OF SORCERY IS THIS?!"

Kael, blissfully unaware of the absolute scandal he just witnessed, simply nodded and moved to the next customer.

But the damage was already done.

That Random Girl had just cemented herself as Sora’s ultimate rival.

THE ENTIRE STORE EXPLODES.

The Ultimate Convenience Store Chaos – The Sailor Scouts Edition

Kael’s Convenience Store – Now the Most Popular Spot in Town

Minako & Makoto, standing in line, trying to act casual.

Minako (whispering): "Okay, don’t freak out. Just act normal. Buy something small."

Makoto (nodding): "Right. Just a simple snack."

They reach the front—KAEL SMILES AT THEM.

Kael: "Ah, welcome, my ladies. How may I assist thee?"

MINAKO IMMEDIATELY PANICS.

Minako (grabbing random items, flustered): "Uh—uh—50 packs of gum, please!"

Makoto (nervous, pointing to something random): "I’ll take… 20 hot dogs!"

THEY HAND HIM THEIR MONEY AND SPRINT AWAY.

THE CASHIER JUST STARES.

Cashier (deadpan, to Kael): "Sir, you just broke more customers."

Meanwhile… Rei Tries to Stay Calm

Rei Hino, THE most composed, unshakable girl, enters the store.

Kael turns to her, nodding.

Kael: "Ah, the lady of fire. It is an honor."

Rei FREEZES.

Rei (internally screaming):
"STAY. CALM. YOU ARE REI HINO. YOU ARE A WARRIOR. YOU ARE—"

Kael (smiling softly): "May I be of service to thee, my lady?"

Rei’s soul leaves her body.

She buys something random—she doesn’t even know what it is.

She leaves the store in TOTAL SHOCK.

Minako (laughing): "So? How’d it go?"

Makoto: "Did you keep your cool?"

Rei stares blankly ahead—THEN COLLAPSES INTO A BENCH, COVERING HER FACE.

Rei (whispering, defeated): "Oh my god, I’m one of them."

The Town’s Final Reaction

After weeks of suffering, Sora finally SNAPS.

Sora stands on a chair in the school cafeteria and YELLS:
"LISTEN UP! KAEL IS MY BOYFRIEND. MINE. YES, HE'S HANDSOME. YES, HE SPEAKS LIKE A ROMANTIC NOVEL. AND NO, YOU CANNOT HAVE HIM. SO STOP STARING AT HIM LIKE HE'S A LIMITED-EDITION COLLECTIBLE."

The school explodes in screams.

Girls start crying.

The Kael Appreciation Club holds an emergency meeting.

Kael, still completely unaware of the storm he caused, simply smiles.

Kael: "My dearest Sora… thou need not make such declarations. My heart hath always belonged to thee."

Sora (facepalm, utterly exasperated):
"I SWEAR TO GOD, KAEL, STOP TALKING LIKE THAT."

To be continued…
