Ian, who was calmly facing the group of seven in front of him, and those seven people in total guard trying to figure out Ian's next moves, they stood at a standstill for a while.
"Don't you guys want to stop that spell? I can help."
Ian said, taking a step forward and crossing his arms.
"You think we'll believe your bullshit?"
"Aren't you just trying to buy time for your friends, you sneaky bastard?"
"Pfftt... I just told you not to call me a bastard."
Ian chuckled as he saw them create stories. He knew more than anyone else that nobody else was coming.
"He's laughing?"
"Maybe he has some screw loose?"
"People who plan mass murder are never sane, Joy!"
'Oh so that's Joy.'
Ian found the guy he was thinking about as he let them continue speaking. After locating Joy, he started observing him from top to bottom.
'Looks average.'
The guy had brown curly hair and eyes of the
Fortunately for Ian, when he came back to his room, none of his people had woken up yet.'Shit. Forgot to change the robe.'He put the mask in his storage ring and was halfway done taking off the robe when someone turned on the light."Whoa!""Who?!""Uh..?"All three of them that were sleeping on his room, which included Ash, Corner and Steve had woken up simultaneously. He wanted to know who among them had turned on the lights as he looked around and it was Steve."Young master? What's that.. you're wearing?""Brother, are you going somewhere?""That robe.. "Ian wandered what kind of stupid luck he was born with to always face these types of situations as he clicked his tongue in annoyance. He was half naked in a room full of people who were interrogating him."Turn off the light."He said without answering any of them. Steve was looking at him blankly as if he didn't understand
Ian, who has been constantly facing awkward situations ever since he came to this world, was almost on the verge of losing his composure as he gritted his teeth.The mood was so serious moments ago, he was about to reveal some of the most important secrets of all times as he talked to the Buddha himself. He wanted to exchange information so he decided to show his cards first.But the moment he revealed his cards, some crazy bunch of people forcefully entered the scene. Not only did they ruin the scene, they also managed to put Ian in an extremely awkward situation as well.
'Let's try not to act too friendly.'Ian thought that making too good an impression would ruin Arthur's chances with them so decided to be a bit rude as he entered the abandoned house."You're here."He was greeted by the friendly smiles of seven people as soon as he entered the room, unlike the last time when he was dragged inside by a rope.
Ash placed Ian in his bed after climbing inside his room through the window. He wiped the sweat off his forehead as he sat down on a nearby chair."He has no clue about the world, does he?"He looked at Ian, who was sleeping peacefully in his own bed. Ash tried to remember if Ian ever had his guard up or acted careful about his own safety. But there was none.'Why? Shouldn't he be more careful?'<
"Wait... That means I don't have to die?!"Ian stood up from his seat at the sudden realisation."What are you talking about, young master?""Brother? Why would you.."'Shit. I was too shocked so I forgot about them.'
"My help?"Miller asked as he looked forward to Ian's next words."Yes. The people of the island are facing some problems right now. And the authorities are useless.""I see. What kind of problem is it?""People started
"Corner."Ian called for him as they entered the inn."Yes, young master?""How long do you think it'll take for father to arrive?""The Duke? I think they'll be here before dawn."
"Calm down. It's okay. Everything will be fine." Ian said as he handed Kio a glass of water. "Drink this first." The kid did as he was told and gulped down the water. "Have you calmed down now?" Ian asked, patting his back slowly, to which Kio replied with a nod. "Great. Now start from the beginning. What happened? What did you see?" "That.. after you left, we decided to return as well. As we were walking beside forest, one of us suddenly disappeared. Then, one by one, all of them started disappearing." "There was no one else around? Did you not see how or who took them away?" "No.. there was nothing.. and it was too foggy to see too far.." "Fog? But it's summer." An island country like Saint Mary's didn't have fog unless it was the m
