My Second Life in Another World

Chapter 164: Stay Here?

"Fufu, sure but Haru you would have to tell me where you got these sweets from I never had any of them in Xyrus," Zenobia asked with a smile as she saw Haru being a little embarrassed.

"My wives made these," Haru said with a smile as the cookies were made by Kanae and the cakes by Resha.

Haru swore that these two have bewitched him with these sweets.

"Oh, Ok," Zenobia said as she was a little sad but it was something she expected.

"You don't look surprised?" Haru asked.

"Well, I kind of guessed it as Haru is an attractive man with a kind and lovely personality," Zenobia said as she blushed at when she realized her words.

"I-I forgot to get the laundry for today," Zenobia quickly stood up and ran out of the library.

'Well, if I was like Zenobia said I wouldn't have multiple lovers now would I? The author is at fault for this for not knowing how relationships work.' Haru shook his head

'Stop dissing me fucker, I already have a few people here that do it every chance they get,' Haru heard a voice in his head but ignored it and started reading again.

Soon it was afternoon without him noticing.

"Yo, big bro come down for lunch," Randel came in still dressed in his academy uniform.

"Ok, But you still didn't go back to the academy," Haru asked as they walked out of the library.

"I see, you are already trying to get rid of me, anyway I will be going back with my friend that will arrive today in the evening," Randel said with a grin as they reached the dining room.

"Y-You came Haru," Zenobia who was placing the food on the table blushed as she saw Haru.

"Yeah, should I go back up," Haru said as he was about to turn back but.

"No no it is fine eat a lot," Zenobia quickly said and Haru nodded.

'Hmm, Why does the atmosphere feel weird?' Randel was tapping his chin while looking at Haru who sat down at the table.

'Whatever I can't figure out what is going on,' Randel gave up and sat down on his chair as they ate their lunch silently.

After the lunch was finished Zenobia gave Haru a cup of tea.

"Haru did you find the books you were looking for?" Zenobia asked.

"Yeah, but it will take me a few days to read them, so I will be troubling you," Haru said with a smile.

"That isn't a problem, please feel free to come by. And if you are ok with it, you can stay in the free room upstairs." Zenobia said as she looked at Haru nervously with a tinge of red on her face.

'Hmm, This might not be a bad idea. I need to stay near her to get the spies; their main mission was to kidnap Zenobia anyway. Even though the person who came was a weakling in front of me, if I wasn't here Zenobia would've been taken away even if all the Lances were here,' Haru thought.

"Ok, if you aren't against me staying here then I'll take the offer," Haru said with a smile and Zenobia smiled as well but there was one person that wasn't smiling here.

"I see so this was your plan, You damn pretty boy you want to seduce my big sis by staying under the same roof as her. I should've known," Randel stood up and pointed at Haru.

"Sis I am not going to the academy I'll stay here so that he can't make a move on you," Randel said as he looked at Haru who had a wry smile, it wasn't his intention to do any of the things he was accused of. This would help him to get his info faster and help Zenobia if she was in trouble.

"Ok you can but I'll triple your blacksmithing lesson time," Zenobia said with a smile but…..

"I wonder which elective I should take this year," Randel had already left the room while muttering making Zenobia shake her head.

"Even while being the only son of Teach he has no interest in blacksmithing," Zenobia shook her head.

"Anyway Haru please get along with me," Zenobia said with a small bow.

"Same but are you alright with this?" Haru asked.

"It is fine I am here only during the day, my house is also nearby so I sleep there unless I am working I don't stay the night at the shop," Zenobia said as she waved her hand.

"Ok then I'll go back to the library," Haru said as Zenobia nodded.

Haru spent the rest of the day in the library and was called for dinner by Zenobia, Haru didn't see Randel around so it was likely that he went to the academy.

After dinner, Zenobia showed an empty bedroom to haru and this guest room was 100 times better than the inn room.

After that Zenobia went back to her home Haru just went to the room and laid down to rest for a bit.

He had read almost a quarter of the library today and was sorting out the info in his head.

Many things were missing in history books and there was a lack of magic theory books in the library most of them were related to artifact creations or blacksmithing which was to be expected since this is Zenobia's workshop.

Her house was also a five-minute walk from here so Haru could still feel where Zenobia was with his Kenbunshoku Haki.

CAW* CAW*

Haru looked at the window and saw Raum fly in with a depressed look.

"It is Ok you will find some eventually," Haru said as he petted Raum.

'They shouldn't know what happened to their people this fast right? Hmm, but considering the soul seal there might be an alarm mechanism,' Haru thought of different possibilities in his head and nodded it was the correct decision to use genjutsu and kill them from where their eyes didn't land on him.

So even if there is something like a memory transmission thing in the soul seal, Haru's face wouldn't be revealed as the others didn't look at him even once it was an illusion.

Other than this reason the only thing that can explain their behavior might be…

'Maybe they don't have anything to do in the Beast Glades or they are hidden in a dungeon,' Haru tapped his chin as he continued to think.

[I am back again, what did I miss?] Kurumi appeared on Haru's chest in her small fox form.

Haru told everything to Kurumi that happened during her disappearance and then went to the Beast glades to search for some dungeons and kill the monsters he found on the way, while reading the books in the library during the day and training during the night Haru spent one week in Zenobia's shop.

***

Far away from Dicathen, On a mass of land that looked like a skull with its mouth open and a large curved bump protruding from the northern end. This continent was named Alacrya.

At the center of this continent The Central Domain, there was a towering spire that the people of this continent called Taegrin Caelum. This is the house of their god, the one who rules over their continent and the most powerful being on this continent Argona Vritra.

Inside the spire on the top floor, four figures were standing in front of the large metal door that was black with many different creatures carved on a globe, but the one that was the most eye-catching was the snake. The big snake with golden eyes was circling the globe while covering the other beasts.

The four people standing in front of the door looked at each other silently as they waited.

"You may come in," A heavy voice sounded as the door opened.

All four of them walked in to see the magnificently decorated hall with a high ceiling held by black pillars and dark red carpet on the ground.

They saw a person kneeling in front of the stairs. The person wore a full black body armor his skin was dark grey with red eyes, he had ram-like horns coming out from the sides of the forehead and if you look up you would see a man sitting on a black throne.
