"Oh yeah, I forgot about something."

The screen paused and every single one of the audience turned to the god in confusion as to why the viewing stopped.

"There's one more person needed to be here. He's just as crucial as your Cale here, especially if ever Teyvat refused to help you."

Mixtures of confusion and interest were shown on the TBOAH audience's expressions. Many began to chatter and murmur at this unknown addition.

"If I may ask, Red-nim, who might this person be?" Only Alberu had the guts to speak to the god compared to his younger brothers. Well, being a constant target of assassination and having to hide an identity that will get him kick out of the Roan Kingdom his entire life made him a bit braver than most nobles.

The traveler group from Teyvat widened their eyes and looked at each other with awkward gazes as they realized who Red might be talking about.

Cale furrowed his eyebrows. Even before Red had said anything, he had been thinking of asking the god of bringing him here. But now, he was hesitant to do so.

They may be the same person, but the other had experienced a different life than the other. Cale wasn't sure how he might feel being in this cinema with everyone from his world.

The people who used to be dead looked at each other as well. They knew of his identity and call him their friend from the times they've hanged around with each other. But in respect of his privacy, they've never pried further over his background but they already had an idea as to where he may have came from.

Cage, the mercenaries and the whale tribe looked confused at the uncomfortable atmosphere around the Teyvat table.

"Hm..." Red hummed, "Well, he's the one who knows pretty much everything about the guy that's gonna destroy your world."

The audience (except for those from Teyvat) gaped at Red's words

"Ho..." Fredo hummed in interest. Could this person have the necessary information needed to turn the tables against the White Star?

Choi Han clenched his trembling fists. Maybe... He may finally find out who massacred the village and get the name of the ringleader of it all.

Alberu frowned. There were too many unknown factors here. From such a vague description, he had no way of telling whether this person is truly an ally, an enemy that was forced to talk or just a neutral party.

Red snapped her fingers and unlike before, the light was of a much smaller scale since the god wasn't bringing a crowd this time.

As the light at the center of the room faded, nearly everyone's eyes widened at the sight of the newcomer and many let out gasps of shock and surprise.

At the center stood a man with the exact same shade of red hair as the one at the Teyvat table. His hair was slightly longer than the other redhead, the longer section falling past his left shoulder. He wore a long, black coat that reaches past his knees, a white cravat wrapped around his neck along with black pants and boots. Additionally, he also wore a black eye patch over his right eye.

[A/N: Think of his hairstyle as Chuuya's hairstyle, but less wavy. He also wears Akutagawa's coat.]

In front of them all was a redhead that looked like a slightly older version of Cale Henituse.

The new redhead looked around the shocked silent room with a blank expression, never giving away any emotions. It may look like he was just curiously looking around...

But in reality, he was scanning each and every person in that few seconds.

Once his gaze went from the paused screen and landed on the Teyvat table, the man simply sighed, figuring out the situation in less than a minute.

He supposed he should introduce himself.

"My name is Cale Henituse, 38-years-old and have come from the doomed timeline." The man simply explained with absolutely no emotion in his voice.

...What?

-----------------------------------------------------------

The isekai reason of how Cale ended up in Teyvat is honestly still a work in progress, ehe. I honestly came up with other Cale at the last minute but I don't regret it.

(I'm so sorry, can anyone help me come up with an isekai reason? I'm considering the Thames Family comments from the last Author's Note but I'm not sure how to carry it out.)

I tried searching for unique names for Raon (I'm changing his name 'cause Cale is more influenced by Teyvat) but came up with nothing. I even tried to use Google translate for certain words but ehhh... Does anyone have any suggestions?

As for why other Cale looked young despite being in his late thirties, let's just say that most of the Thames are those kind of people that tend to look young despite their age.
