As Ryoshu hurried away, relieved that the confrontation had finally ended, he couldn't shake off the feeling of exhaustion that weighed heavily on him. The day's events had taken their toll, both physically and mentally. However, amidst the chaos, he was approached by Charlotte, her presence a soothing balm to his frayed nerves.Only then did Ryoshu notice Charlotte's subtle approach, having slipped away from the group unnoticed. With delicate grace, she brushed the dust from his clothes, her touch gentle and comforting. Her concern was evident as she inquired, "Are you alright... I apologize for Esther's behavior. She truly is kind-hearted... It's just that her temper can flare up at times... I hope you won't judge her too harshly."Ryoshu felt gratitude towards Charlotte, touched by her genuine empathy and compassion. Despite her noble status and the power she wielded, Charlotte remained humble and empathetic, valuing her friendships above all else.Charlotte's beauty, Ryoshu real
Despite Esther's recent advancement to an E-rank Awakener, Ryoshu couldn't help but acknowledge her newfound confidence. However, her facade quickly crumbled upon witnessing Ryoshu's lightning-fast reflexes in action."Hey, where do you think you're going? I haven't finished with you yet," she stammered, surprise lacing her words.Unperturbed by her protests, Ryoshu moved with agility, swiftly reclaiming his mask, which caught Esther off guard. As he concealed his face once more, he leveled a steady gaze at the disconcerted girl before him."Esther White," he pronounced firmly, his tone carrying a weight of significance.The mention of her full name caused Esther to visibly shudder, her signature white locks trembling with apprehension. "Are you... looking for trouble with me?" Ryoshu inquired calmly, his grip on her arms firm.Esther found herself paralyzed with fear, rendered speechless and unable to muster a response, her body rigid with tension.Ryoshu's steps echoed softly agains
Basking in the warmth of the bathtub, Ryoshu relished the sensation of relaxation washing over him with each passing moment. The soothing water enveloped his tired muscles, easing away the tension accumulated from days of relentless battles. In this rare moment of solitude, he allowed himself to drift, embracing the tranquility of the peaceful atmosphere that enveloped him.Meanwhile, Fumiya seized the opportunity to explore the surroundings, relishing the freedom of solitude away from the usual hustle and bustle of their shared adventures. With a sense of independence, he ventured outside to indulge in some quality time with his beloved master, cherishing the bond they shared.Emerging from his invigorating shower, Ryoshu stepped out of the room into the dimly lit hallway, lingering on the sensations of comfort and calmness. Despite his dwindling funds, he decided to treat himself to another bottle of milk, a simple indulgence that brought him a momentary sense of pleasure amidst hi
Ryoshu stood at the reception desk, his eyes fixed on the digital display of his bank account balance. The numbers seemed to taunt him, teetering precariously close to zero. Accepting the room key from the apathetic receptionist, whose disinterested expression grated on his nerves, Ryoshu couldn't help but feel anxious about his financial situation."Thankfully, I still have just enough to cover it," he murmured, his voice betraying a hint of uncertainty.Navigating through the labyrinthine corridors of the hotel, Ryoshu finally reached the elevator. With a soft ding, the doors slid open, and he stepped inside, the cool metal of the buttons under his fingertips offering a fleeting sense of reassurance. Pressing the button for the third floor, he watched the numbers light up one by one as the elevator ascended.
"I recall a few Guilds that have caught my eye for their potential in the future," Ryoshu contemplated aloud, his mind swirling with thoughts of financial strategy. "If I had a bit more capital on hand, paying that 80,000 RC fee wouldn't seem daunting."With a resolute determination, he swiftly accessed the official websites of these Guilds, immersing himself in a thorough examination of their available shares. Each click of the mouse brought him closer to understanding the investment landscape, and Ryoshu diligently transcribed the names of these Guilds into his worn notebook, a roadmap for his future dealings."Alright... I'll need to reach out to them later. But for now, my priority is to secure the funds required to acquire their shares," he resolved, his thoughts drifting towards the valuable Magic Crystals in his possession.Descending into the clandestine underbelly of the internet, Ryoshu delved into the shadowy realms of the black market in search of potential buyers for hi
Ryoshu lay on his sumptuous bed. He marveled at its comfort. The soft, velvety fabric seemed to cocoon him in a warm embrace, gently easing the tension from his weary muscles. Beside him, Fumiya, his loyal companion, nestled close, exuding a sense of tranquility that mirrored Ryoshu's own.With a contented sigh, Ryoshu buried his face into the plush pillow, savoring its cloud-like softness. The room was filled with the gentle strains of soothing music, creating a serene ambiance that washed away the day's worries.He closed his eyes.Ryoshu's thoughts returned to his earlier contemplations. Despite dismissing the risky idea, a newfound sense of clarity emerged. The solution seemed tantalizingly close, like a puzzle waiting to be solved.
Ryoshu reflected on the narrow escape from danger. A sense of solemnity settled over him. "While the drug did its job, one wrong move and it could've been curtains for me. I won't ever play with fire like that again," he vowed, the weight of his words underscoring the severity of the situation.Turning his attention to his progress, Ryoshu couldn't help but feel a twinge of disappointment. His strength and agility had yet to show the significant growth he had hoped for. Reflecting on his training regimen, he realized he had focused more on Endurance and Perception. However, hours of relentless dedication had paid off as his endurance had surged dramatically. Meanwhile, honing his Perception through archery practice and the subtleties of the Death Gaze skill sharpened his senses to a keen edge.The benefits of his enhanced Perception were manifold. Not only could Ryoshu discern finer details in his environment, but his reflexes had also been bolstered significantly. This newfound awa
"Perhaps that's why I've been feeling a bit more outspoken lately, don't you think?" Ryoshu pondered aloud, his brow furrowing in contemplation as he stared into the mirror, seeking answers that seemed to elude him. The notion of his newfound assertiveness lingered in his mind like a persistent echo, refusing to be silenced. "Could it be because I secretly have a crush on a girl my own age?" he mused, the thought weaving its tendrils into the fabric of his consciousness. "But then again, my real age is 22... would that make me somewhat of a lolicon?" The question hung heavy in the air, casting a shadow of uncertainty over his thoughts and leaving him grappling with the implications of his conflicting emotions.Shaking his head to dispel the disquieting musings threatening to consume him, Ryoshu shifted his focus to more immediate concerns. He meticulously concluded his morning ritual in the bathroom with a resigned sigh, methodically attending to his skincare regimen. Each stroke
