CHAPTER 52 - CLEAR AND FOGGY

LUKE HODGES

Upon opening the door, I was met with multiple people who I hadn't either seen in a while or never in my time here.

Aya and Alea gave me disappointed head movement as I walked forward.

Confused by their sudden head shaking, an object had fallen. A black stick–something like a cane–was responsible for the sound. It was Dawn's Ballad that had fallen to the ground meaning that the owner had seen something.

Slowly, my point of view turned to the person above the weapon. It was a boy with auburn hair and a mask whose design was a note from a musical message.

"L-Luke?" The owner of Dawn's Ballad said, seeing his azure eyes wide in a flabbergasted state.

Shocked by the sudden name leaving his mouth. I checked my face, spreading my hands all over my face hoping for my mask to be on. Yet I was wrong, I didn't know where my mask was.

Finally, I gave up seeing as there was no solution to this. "H-Hey..." I awkwardly said, giving a wry smile with a light wave. "It's been a while..."

Arthur didn't speak while he walked towards me, his movements were not readable, or maybe I was too tired to do so. Being depleted in mana wasn't an easy task, especially walking to the guild without mana was tiring.

I must leave a mental note for my future self on not using the damn power unless it's needed.

Being the same height as the main protagonist had its perks, like fighting stability and maybe even understanding his fighting style of King Grey. Also... for brotherly hugs.

I was stunned. Arthur Leywin who would become an Ascender in the future for the Alacryan version of adventurers who would cold heartedly kill people would be hugging me. "T-This is a surprise. Is this really the Arthur Leywin I know?" I teasingly said, hugging back my childhood friend.

When Arthur heard me, he took a moment to let go and punched me in the ribs, where I was aware there was an internal injury. "What was that for!?"

"For not being in contact for three years. Also I found your family."

"W-Wha..."

My surprise for the mention of my family brought everyone to turn their attention to me.

"They live in the Helstea estate. So go see them after this, yeah?" Arthur stretched out a fist to me. "They, like us, worry about you."

"Yeah..." I hit his knuckles before seeing him sit down with Jasmine and Elijah who Arthur introduced to me. Of course, I already knew who they were, everyone who was in this room, I knew them all.

We catched up with the little time we were given, since I still had to give my side of the story to Kaspian. I told him everything, ignoring Argona but not Cadell, him. I needed this continent to know about Cadell and to be wary of him.

I spoke about how there was someone in need of help, someone who perhaps was an adventurer who had lost his or her team during a raid. But by the looks that the lances gave me, it meant that it was solely a trap. Moments later I told them about the horde or Elderwood Guardians and their leader, which in time were defeated and the rest of them vanished from me.

Not leaving anything out, I only pushed information that came from the wrong source but correct information.

After taking into account that there was a Demon on the Beasts Galdes, Kaspian told the lances and I to retire as adventurers. Well, more like to take a break before starting another dungeon raid, which I agreed on and so did the elves.
