“What do you think, Claire? I think we should go with him. I’m sure he is hiding something.”Aura asked as she glanced at Aita.“Yeah, I agree. We also have to ask him about the space rift, he could be aware of something.”Claire nodded.“...”‘Dammit…’Aita, who could hear their not-really-whisper from where he was, cursed inwardly.He didn’t know why they were suddenly interested in the space rift and he didn’t want to know either.‘It’s better to avoid them.’He closed his eyes and thought about a solution to his predicament.“Go, Lena! Ask Austin to be in your group!”“D-Daisy! Don’t push me!”“Oh! Come on! You could be alone with Austin in the space rift! It’s a golden opportunity!”“Wh-what are you thinking?!”“...”Aita opened his eyes.He could see a blushing Elena pushed by a grinning Daisy.‘Oh…If I remember…’Aita searched in his memories.[‘Sigh...you must be the only with Austin that is clueless about Elena’s crush on him.’]He reminisced about the time when Daisy reveale

“What happened, Aita?”“What?”Selena sighed seeing Aita’s grumpy face.They had gone out in the garden with the others but Aita didn’t seem to enjoy it.Well, it was normal, she would say, but he looked more grumpy than usual.“Your face.”“My face?”“Yes. You look angry.”“He is always looking angry though?”Narvi said with a teasing smile.“...”"Hii!"Aita’s stare silenced Narvi.“Nothing. I’m just tired.”Indeed, he was tired.After the discussion he had with Daisy, it was normal.After careful consideration, he accepted Daisy’s terms, but one thing was annoying.It was the condition of him helping to hook up Elena and Austin.His entire body cringed just thinking about it.From what she said, he had to play the villain and Elena would scold him, which would gain Austin’s love.When he heard that the first time, he wanted to throw Daisy out of the window as refusal but held back.More than anything, he wanted to retrieve Hephaestus's artifact.If he just had to beat up Austin for

After making Elena cry, Aita left innocently.The time had come to depart to the rift.Selena and the others were speaking about important things with the officials of Solaria.They were discussing about the truce but mainly about the threat of Ankouna and how they could ripost.So they didn’t have time to come to see Aita.Well, it wasn’t like he wanted them to see him off either…He was also too lazy to say goodbye to his comrades from Lunarstella.Selena would surely annoy me afterward with that, but he didn’t care.In the end, only Aita was present for Lunarstella.There were also a few knights of Lunarstella accompanying him but they weren’t in his group.Zara wanted to accompany Aita but the latter refused.He wasn't a child who needed someone with him.Though he repeated that many times to Zara, the latter refused and treated Aita like her little brother. It wouldn’t annoy him if the little brother she thought of wasn’t ten years old…Little by little, people gathered at the en

Aita entered, ahead of everyone in the rift. He gathered the gaze of everyone coming out. With a regiment of knights behind him, it was bound to happen.“Excuse me, My Lord.”The receptionist who was behind his desk came in a hurry. He could understand that Aita seemed to be a high-ranking noble but he still had to do his job.“I have to confirm your identity-”“He is the Lord Commander of the Lunarstella Empire.”Before the receptionist could finish, a knight of Lunarstella stepped in with a frown.The receptionist’s face turned blue and froze.Aita ignored him and continued to walk.“W-Wait!”The receptionist broke from his stupor and caught up with Aita, but the latter didn’t seem to stop his steps and without choice, the receptionist spoke while walking fast.“Which floor are you going to, My Lord?”He asked.It was an important question, since the people who wanted could skip some floors according to their strength. But in the Solas Rift, it was only until the fourth floor, as hi

-Booom!-Spurt!-Crackle!Sounds of fierce fighting could be heard on a vast green prairie. The sunless sky was shining brightly blue, the ambiance could have been perfect for a picnic if not for the monsters’ presence.After taking a nice and peaceful rest, they all headed toward the next location of the third floor. The atmosphere seemed so perfect that the weak-minded ones wanted to take another session of rest, but Aita’s cold stare made them changing their mind as soon as they thought about it.And they made the right choice as a tsunami of monsters was rushing toward them from all sides. Lions, tigers, eagles, trolls, there were all types of monsters. Soon the fight started and it was a gruelling one. They were not far from the end of the third floor. Only a few sections remained before they could reach the fourth floor. That was why the monsters were stronger than those from the previous areas.Riona immediately ordered the knights of Solaria to split up to guard each group of
