( One Month Later)

"Master, please take me outside to tour the city!" Aashi pleaded with her puppy eyes. This new tactic had proven to be quite effective in getting what she wanted from her master, Erick.

"Alright, let me get ready," Erick relented, still reeling from the cuteness overload.

It had been a month since Aashi had begun her island project. She had purchased a damaged building at a bargain price, and with the help of the LB models, quickly renovated it to her master's liking. Erick had also created an illusion to disguise the construction, making it appear like a normal site.

Once everything was in order, Erick marked out the area and set up a formation for creating common pills. Aashi then began advertising for workers to help run the company.

Aashi was now able to control her body and powers halfway, making it unnecessary for her to have constant protection.

After a month of preparation and hiring staff, the company launched affordable products aimed at attracting normal people, but their demand in the market exceeded Erick's expectations.

"Alrighty! I'm all set. Let's roll, 'cause today I'm takin' y'all 'round the city. We'll see the sights, try out loads of yummy food and snacks," Erick announced, stepping out in a crisp white shirt, sleek black pants, and a stylish wrist chain that transformed into Megatron in its shrunken form.

"Hmmm! Hehehe! I'm goin' on a date with Master," Aashi whispered to herself, a bashful smile adorning her face.

"Mom and Dad! I'm headin' out with my friend for a bit, so don't wait up and have dinner on time 'cause we'll be havin' ours outside," Erick called out to his parents, who were lounging in the living room, engrossed in a drama. 

They nodded in understanding and told him to take care.

Aashi took Erick's hand and practically pulled him along. Since they didn't have a car, they hailed a cab to a popular nearby spot for romantic outings.

Blossom Park was mostly frequented by couples, as it had a romantic ambiance that evoked serene feelings.

A few minutes later, Aashi and Erick arrived at the park, paying the cab driver before starting their hand-in-hand stroll.

After wandering for a while, they started feeling peckish and decided to grab a bite. They found a nearby café and ordered a famous omelette and the ice cream Erick had been wanting to try for ages. 

Today was the perfect chance, so they relished their little snacks. Once they settled the bill, they resumed their joyful escapade.

This might be Erick and Aashi's first time venturing out of the community and enjoying a leisurely outing together.

"Master! This place is lovely, and I have a wonderful vibe from it. It's like every tree, plant, the water, and the fish in the pond, they all seem so content," Aashi remarked as she stood near the pond's railing. 

After closing her eyes and soaking in the surroundings with her senses, she expressed her feelings about the place.

"Hmmm! It's not surprising to see such a sight here. The natural energy is exceptionally pure, and the environment is very pleasant, so people can't help but feel relieved and happy when they come here. And that positive energy is then transmitted to these plants and trees," Erick replied with a slight smile on his face.

Afterward, they took pictures together and enjoyed each other's company.

"Master! How about we go watch a movie together now?" Aashi, having had a great time at the park, suggested the idea of watching a movie, as she had done some research beforehand.

When a couple goes on a date, the first step is to take a leisurely stroll in a garden or park to get to know each other better. 

Then, they watch a movie together to strengthen their bond, followed by a shopping spree. And in the evening, a candlelit dinner. These are the essential steps for a successful date.

Having observed these things while inhabiting her human body and living alongside her Master, Aashi also longed to experience what a normal girl would feel when going on a date with her boyfriend.

They hailed another cab and within ten minutes, they arrived at the cinema hall. Erick had obtained two tickets and some snacks.

"Hey, Aashi! We're in luck today, look, there's an intriguing movie about to start. I've seen it before, but I don't remember much. Hmmm! All I recall is that it should be very captivating," Erick said, sporting a small smile as he glanced at the movie they were about to watch.

"I'm not sure, so let's head inside and find out for ourselves, Master!" Aashi's excitement hadn't waned a bit.

......

As Erick and Aashi were enjoying their date, the entire city buzzed with excitement due to a certain company's advertisement flooding every popular online platform.

The products themselves weren't extraordinary, but for those in dire need, they were like a refreshing oasis in the desert.

There were three products being launched: Energy Burst Drink, Herbal Black Bull Tea, and Constitution Maintenance Paste.

The Energy Burst Drink was perfect for individuals who often overworked themselves and frequently fell ill or faced health issues. 

This drink provided an instantaneous surge of energy upon consumption, keeping them spirited and lively for half a day. It had no side effects and was particularly aimed at salarymen and women who had to work long hours. The drink rejuvenated their bodies, alleviating fatigue, tiredness, and other minor ailments.

However, it was essential to note that the Energy Burst Drink was only suitable for individuals with a bone age of twenty or above. 

Those younger than that age would experience no effect from the drink, except perhaps becoming slightly tipsy or feeling a mild buzz.

The second product, Herbal Black Bull Tea, is a special type of tea that primarily enhances fertility in both males and females. 

However, it can only be consumed by happily married couples. If others attempt to drink it, they will experience discomfort throughout their bodies, and some may even face a loss of fertility. 

This product is specifically designed for married couples seeking to improve their sexual lives or those yearning to conceive a child.

The third and final product is the Constitution Maintenance Paste. It is a paste-like substance that can be applied all over the body, ensuring no area is left untouched. 

Once applied, it dries on the skin within a minute or two, and then it can be rinsed off during a bath. The paste comes in three doses, and after completing the three doses, the person who applied it will notice slight changes in their body.

The main feature of this product is its ability to maintain the body in a fit condition even with minimal exercise. 

It promotes overall health by preventing issues such as high blood pressure, abnormal sugar levels, and other related ailments. It ensures that there is no immediate danger from diseases.

After the advertisement for these products flooded the internet, the network of popular websites became inundated with numerous comments. 

People questioned whether the claims were true or merely fake news, seeking confirmation and information.

"I've seen this advertisement on other popular sites too. If it were fake, it would likely be taken down within a few hours," a random person commented on social media.

"No... no! It can't be false. Look, one of the top sites is running the same advertisement, and my distant cousin works there. I've already confirmed with him, and he says it's not fake but genuine. So, I'm waiting for it to be released to see if the effects are truly as the advertisement claims," expressed an individual, sharing their opinion amidst the online discussion.

In Kristine Office

"Ahhh! Sigh. This is getting frustrating. What are we missing? This is already the tenth time, and yet again, we failed at the final step," Kristine muttered to herself as she walked out of the laboratory, feeling disheartened by their repeated failures.

Just as she was contemplating the results, her assistant entered the room, holding a tablet in her hands.

"Um, Boss, you should see what I found. Look, I stumbled upon this in the afternoon, and it's already causing quite a stir in the city. I thought I should let you know," the assistant said, her expression wavering between belief and doubt. Despite her petite figure, with blond hair and a cute face, she possessed notable curves. She wore an office attire, a black and white suit, with a long white coat indicating her work in the laboratory research department.

"Hmm, Rin-chan, what is it? And why do you seem unsure?" Kristine asked, resting her head on her hands, which were placed on the table.

"Once you see this, you'll understand. Here," Rin replied, handing Kristine the tablet.

"Hmm, what is this? And when did this advertisement start? Wait a minute, where have I heard this name before?" Kristine questioned, initially expressing disbelief. Gradually, her expression mirrored that of her assistant's as she read the last line, which mentioned the company name. She began to ponder where she had heard the name before.

"It should have started last night," Rin replied thoughtfully.

"Ah, now I remember. Erick-kun mentioned it. I recall him saying his friend was starting a company, but I never imagined it would be something so remarkable," Kristine suddenly remembered and exclaimed, startling her assistant.

"Um, Boss, do you know this Erick person? Perhaps, this is an opportunity to successfully complete our project," Rin asked, her expression filled with hope.

"Hmm, I know Erick-kun, but I'm not sure about this. Okay, I'll try to talk to him and ask if I can meet his friend." Seeing her assistant glaring at her, Kristine let out a defeated sigh and agreed to reach out to Erick. Rin smiled in response.

They then discussed how they could establish a favorable relationship with this emerging company.

Interestingly, Kristine and Rin weren't the only ones contemplating their actions regarding the company. There were several individuals, both with good and bad intentions, who were actively gathering information about the company and its personnel.

However, these individuals were bound to be disappointed, as there was no trace of any information about them anywhere, not even on social media.

Meanwhile, the ones responsible for this commotion were having a blast in the park.

"Yeaaaaaa!! This is so much fun, hahahaha!" Aashi's joyful voice echoed through the amusement park, as if they were experiencing the thrill of every ride.

"Sigh! How on earth do you still have so much energy, even after going on all the attractions not just once, but thrice?" Erick asked, sitting down on a bench after their high-speed ride.

"Hehehe! This is incredibly enjoyable, and I'll never tire of it," Aashi replied, her voice filled with delight. Seeing her radiant smile, Erick couldn't help but smile as well, despite his exhaustion.

"Well, if you've had your fill, how about we find a nice restaurant for dinner?" Erick suggested, unaware of the mischievous smirk on Aashi's face.

"Hmmm! We still have time for dinner, so first, we must finish our shopping. Let's goooo!" Aashi exclaimed with a mischievous grin, dragging Erick along for a shopping excursion that seemed destined to last an indefinite amount of time.

"Sigh! That's why one should always be prepared when dealing with women. Nonetheless, it has been a fulfilling day," Erick mumbled to himself, a faint smile gracing the corners of his mouth, even though exhaustion was evident on his face.
