This must be were they trained it looked like a dojo. Clara pulled my arm and lead me to a room where there was a bunch of leather chairs. I sat down and waited. "Im going to get my dad just wait here" clara said to me. As I waited I thought about how powerful this family must be to afford this mansion.

I saw a large man enter the room while walking behind clara. "Hello you must be claras benefactor," he said.

"That I am" I said. "I must thank you for what you have done for my daughter " he said.

"Your welcome" It was no big deal really"I said. "Nonsense her future has entirely changed because her heart produces mana now."

"My daughter seems to have become close friends with you so its only natural that you come visit our house."

"My name is eric its a pleasure to meet you." he said. "You should call me sun collector" I said to him.

"If your sun collector what are we doing inside lets go to the back of the mansion." with that I stood and followed him to the back of the mansion. There was a pool and chairs around it. The back courtyard stretched down the grass covered hill and then there was a gate.

We all sat out in the sun. "Ill get us some drinks," he said to me. WIth that, it was just me and clara sitting by the pool. "Im glad you came over. Do you like our house? "clara asked. "Yes its magnificent," I said. After that, we sat in silence for a little while until her dad came back with some alcohol. We drank as we sat by the pool and talked about things. "What do you do for work?" I asked claras dad. "Im the family head and manager of a deep sea fishing group. a lot of members of our family our deep sea fisherman. I am as well."

'Can I go deep sea fishing with you?" I asked

Before he could respond clara said "I want to go too." He seemed taken back by that "yes you can both go with one of the elders of our family." I had want to go deep sea fishing for a while now. "What do you do for a living he asked me "I craft ability rings." His eyes seemed to sparkle as he asked "Is there anyway you could support this family in exchange for sea coins.

This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.

"Yes there is let me have access to your family resources and Ill send you some ability rings."

"You can have access to those resources today if you can prove that you do make ability rings."

With that I pulled out the firework ring and equipped it instead of sunblock and shot a sun spot up into the air where it exploded into a firework.

"Is that enough proof for you" I asked. "Yes that is let me go get a piece of paper so I can write up a contract. As he left clara said "see my dad is that cool. You have to join our family!"

I thought about it and decided that is what I wanted. He came back with the contract and asked me what I wanted in exchange. I said "three normal ability rings for the elder position in your family." he said "I agree" With that I signed the contract. "Yay this is such a good day" clara said to me. We sat by the pool and talked for a little while. Eventually, it was time to eat and I was invited inside. We went to a room with a huge table. I sat down next to clara and a chief brought us out food. It was a hundred year heartbeat fish. "Do you normally eat fish like these?" I asked

"Yes sometimes I even get a thousand year heartbeat but that's rare. Now that your family you can eat with me whenever you want. We should even go fishing tomorrow morning." With that said we both ate our fishes it was delicious the way the fish seemed to melt in your mouth.

After we finished I decided to make my way home. Its time for me to go. "You know you can use one of our bedrooms because your a elder in our family now. " she said

"I would like to sleep at my house it has sentimental value to me." I said

"Okay well let me come with you" she asked me.

With that we started walking back to my house. "Is the water stream that's in your front yard clean water?" I asked

"It is" she said "I knew you had money but I didn't think it was that much money" I said

"Its because there are so many deep sea fisherman in my family." She said "Tomorrow we go and become deep sea fisherman ourselves. Its going to be so much fun. When I was younger I wanted to become one."

"Can I hold your hand she asked me." she asked "Yes" I answered.

Eventually we arrived back at my house it seemed so small and had a dirt courtyard it seemed so barren in comparison to claras house.

We talked in the courtyard until it became dark "Ill be here to pick you up in the morning" Said clara "Okay I'm going to bed" With that I went inside and collapsed onto my bed it had been a eventful day.

The next day when I got up I had some tuna for breakfast and then walked out in front of my house were I saw clara standing. "Ready to go?" she asked me.

"I am I said as we made eye contact. "Let's go then she said while grabbing my hand and pulling me in the direction of the docks. As we walked we talked about things. "I've never gone deep sea fishing before," She said to me "Really? even though you come from a family of deep sea fisherman.
