In the room where everyone left only two people remained in silence. The brothers-in-law’s, who sat facing each other, remained silent for a long time. It was James who broke the long silence first. “… You can forget what Captain Black said. Most of what he said was just made up for me.” “Well, he didn’t say much though.” “It’s true that the Room of Sacrifice was built by me. And it’s my choice to lock you up in that room.” Roger who already guessed that Serius’s words were lies from his heart, nodded insignificantly. “So what?” “If you want to resent someone, you can resent me. If you really hate me enough to kill, I’m ready to accept even that.” “You told me not to die like that, but I guess your own death is so light.” Roger retorted. “…” James’s face hardened at Roger’s words. “I don’t resent you very much. But that doesn’t mean I don’t hate you. Honestly, I thought it would be okay, but I get angry when I see your face.” “…” A slight sadness passed on the face of Ja
“The treasure is not far away. It’s right here.” James stretched out and extended his hand to Roger. Roger initially had a rather skeptical face, but soon became surprised and looked at James. “This… Is this real?” The asking voice was unconsciously filled with trembling. Awakener’s equipment in this world is broadly classified into three categories. The first is Made in Earth items that are generally the cheapest and easiest to obtain. Of course, even this varies in price depending on performance and in the case of handmade products made by the craftsmen of equipment production type of Awakeners, the price soars to an enormous level. The equipment currently worn by Roger belonged to this category. The second is the treasures of another world that are purchased from Dimensional Merchants that appear when the awakeners reach a certain stage of growth. Although there are also many items whose roots or origins are unknown, their ability often exceeds those of Made in Earth items
side the room) Since the encounter between Roger and James Taylor began, the three who got kicked out of the room were standing inside the chilly atmosphere. If they had to pick the most uncomfortable person here, it was definitely Sirius Black. He was literally confused, whether to look at the two people in front of him or to worry about what would happen inside the room. But it is all right for him to feel a little uncomfortable. ‘I hope Young Master Roger is not too angry with Master…’ Fortunately, there was no loud voice in the room yet. Perhaps the talk continues well quietly. He could eavesdrop on the talk if he concentrated his mind actually, but he didn’t want to. This is because he thought it was rude behaviour and by doing so, he would be disrespecting both James Taylor and Roger. Sirius Black struggled to suppress his desire to stamp his feet and talked to the two people calmly blowing the cold wind. “Young Master Roger, the more I know, the bigger his vessel is.”
With a short farewell received from Sirius, Roger and the Ainsworth siblings were currently on their way back to their sweet adobe.On the way home, Roger thought in an unusually silent and quiet car.‘I’ve gained a lot from this journey.’James Taylor’s gifts and stories, which continued after handing over the ‘Ring of Life’, were quite surprising enough to make the ancient relic feel somewhat supplementary.James Taylor also assured us that he will make sure that no one from the family can hinder Roger’s growth or play tricks for some time in the future.To be precise, it will not be James himself who would protect him but the second child of Taylor, Teresa Taylor.Enigmatic Teresa, the second of the Taylor family, is a woman like a beam who was currently the most likely person to succeed the Taylor family and the Guardian Guild after Vincent Taylor.Her personality is simply fussy.Even the Tyrant Vincent Taylor, who can be regarded as the absolute ruler of the family, cannot easil
B-Rank Hunter Rebecca.She was the talent that everyone wanted, not only by parties but also by guilds and the Association.Some guilds even wanted her more than the currently hottest rookie, Leo Sarvan.In a way, it was a matter of course.Rebecca was a person with both healing and support-type abilities which are rare even among the awakeners.Even Hunters who risked their lives to go to the dungeon do not mean they are not afraid of death or unable to feel pain.Of course, the existence of healing-type awakeners and support-type Buffers is inevitably valuable.Healers who not only heal minor injuries but also can reattach even just a single hand if cut off. Buffers who provide a protective shield or leading strong ability improvement that increase the stability of the attack. Those are considered indispensable for both parties and the raid team, but Rebecca was a special type awakened who can do both of those functions alone.Someone even described her as a Saintess because her bea
Sitting in a remote coffee shop while dining in a full black suit with a mask was a woman with an imposing nature.Despite wearing a mask and having a frown on her face, her face seemed very pretty and beautiful. And even though fully covered in black clothes, they failed to cover her curves which were naturally visible to the eyes.Not long after sipping her strawberry-flavored milkshake, her phone started ringing.Maybe because she was under some kind of stress, she picked up the phone annoyingly without even seeing who the caller was.“Hello?”, she asked in a rather annoying and loud tone.-Teresa, It’s me.“Uh?”The annoyed Teresa quickly let down her voice.It’s been a while since she heard the other person’s voice over the phone, but she couldn’t help but know who it was.“James?”, She stood up in surprise.- you still have no manners, I see.“Kikik, why? You want me to call you brother instead of your name?”The annoyance completely disappeared from her face replayed by a funny
“By the way, don’t you want to date someone?”William flinched at Roger’s unexpected question and answered with a wry smile.“I don’t think I am qualified yet.”He had his face hardened to the half-light question and grabbed the wheel tightly.This is because even though Roger asked it jokingly, William was still worried about something else. The fight he had with Sirius Black just a few days ago came to mind.‘…I think I have just uselessly woken up a sleeping beast. William is actually the type that gives too much strength into things like this.’It was the same for himself too, but it felt like he was swept away by the word and atmosphere of Christmas and asked a pointless question.“Too much is as bad as too little. There’s no need to worry too much about it all the time.”“I will keep it in my heart.”It is unknown what he thought inside, but he speaks so well.That doesn’t mean he can be persuaded by long talk, so Roger decided to shut up.Just in time, a text notification came
Standing exactly in front of the crosswalk, Leo stared at Roger, who was confident that he had disguised himself completely with his burning eyes.‘Did he recognize me?’The answer to the question was easy to know with the green light.Leo, who approached Roger without hesitation with big strides, faced him directly and said.“Follow me, Roger Taylor.”“You have good eyes. How did you recognize me at once?”“It can be seen that it’s you even from a kilometer away.”“…It wasn’t such a sloppy disguise, though.”In the first place, no one except Leo recognized Roger.Even now, most of the crowds taking pictures after them naturally questioned who was the masked man beside him.From Roger’s point of view, he could only think that it was as expected from the man who was hailed as the greatest Rising star.“It’s noisy. Why did you have to schedule the appointment on the weekend?”“I just asked yesterday and you said okay. You also didn’t know it was the weekend, right?”At Roger’s words, Le
