Chapter 168: Are You A One Of The Deities?
At night after having Dinner with Zenobia, Haru went back to his room with Kurumi on his shoulder.
[Ha-Kun, when are you going to get your own house?] Kurumi asked with a pout.
[Tomorrow after the meeting, I will buy that house I looked up later.] Haru answered as he had changed the residence he wanted to buy because after visiting the dealership yesterday, he saw that a new house in a secluded area was up for sale. It was being sold by a wealthy merchant who had to sell it after his business took a nose dive.
The house is about the same as the last one, albeit a bit grander it also had a larger lawn along with a custom-made training ground, it even has a few large basements for storage.
It was a little expensive, but it is still going for cheap considering the seller was in a hurry. Haru already paid 100 gold to reserve the house and asked the person to wait for a day so that he can gather the money to pay him in full.
The owner accepted it in a heartbeat because it would be hard for him to get full payment on the spot even if he sold his house to the nobles. Haru had bought it along with the furniture and everything which also helped the merchant get a little extra cash.
[Hmm, that is great,] Kurumi was happy as her tails swayed.
CAW*
Raum came in from the window with a confused cry.
"You are here lets go then," Haru said as Raum tilted his head but still landed on Haru's shoulder, he was still a bit pouty because he had to come back quickly.
Fwoosh*
As Soon as Raum landed on Haru's shoulder, they vanished from the room and appeared on a sandy beach. Raum looked around but tilted his head because he didn't remember seeing this place.
"This is the other Continent," Haru said with a yawn.
CAW* CAW*
Raum was excited after hearing that. He wanted to fly around and explore this new land.
"No, you can't we need to get more info about this new continent before you can go around here," Haru said as Raum became unhappy and looked away while stomping his foot.
Haru just shrugged as he made a plus sign and made around fifty clones.
"Ok, you lot go in and investigate this place, don't forget about changing your appearance and there are many marks all over the continent, So go to different cities just do not get caught take your time if needed," Haru said as the clones nodded then changed their appearances then went to different cities all over this continent.
The clones who discovered the continent have already left marks all over the cities here and have transformed into different people to gather info from the inside.
Even Though Haru was interested in visiting the place known as Relictombs but he didn't because he needed more info on them before he enters it. That is the reason he made more clones on the Continent of Alacrya.
Seeing this Haru went back to Dicathen after he finished sending more clones out to search for the third continent which was yet to be found.
"Let's see what that place has in store," Haru muttered with a smile as he appeared near the beach house.
Haru then went to sleep after training till 4 A.M.
The next morning,
Haru was sitting in the tavern area of the shop dressed in a white shirt and black pants. Zenobia was sitting in front of him wearing a simple grey shirt and black pants, they were drinking tea while waiting for Cynthia Goodsky to come as the time for the meeting was near.
Knock* Knock*
"It looks like she is here," Zenobia said as she went to open the door.
"Hello Zenobia, it has been a long time, huh," Haru turned his head towards the door to see a tall, elderly lady, having a height of 1.7 meters. She has gray hair and brown eyes. Her soft, facial feature gives her the image of a gentle grandmother. She was dressed in an elegant navy blue robe with gold threading.
"Yes, it has been a while Director Goodsky," Zenobia said as she invited her in.
"Still as formal as ever I see, I still remember you calling me Grandmother like just yesterday," Goodsky shook her head as she followed Zenobia who didn't have much of a change in her expression.
As soon as Goodsky walked in her gaze landed on Haru who was looking at her.
'There is…..Nothing? How is that possible?' Goodsky was shocked but because of her abundant experience, she didn't let it show on her face.
"Haru this is Cynthia Goodsky the founder of Xyrus Academy, She wanted to meet you," Zenobia who came in after closing the door introduced Cynthia.
"Nice to meet you," Cynthia said as she did an elegant bow.
"Likewise, I am Haru Tsugikuni," Haru nodded as he stood up to do a slight bow while seated on his seat.
After the greeting, all three of them sat down at the table and Cynthia looked at Haru who was also looking at her.
"Oh My, if you look at this old lady with such serious eyes, I might fall for you," Cynthia joked as she felt a little uneasy about Haru's eyes, But Haru only smiled a little.
Zenobia frowned looking at this as she didn't know why Cynthia would come here and just joke like this. This wasn't like her at all even though Cynthia liked to joke around she knew the time and place for it. So with how urgently Cynthia asked for a favor from her, this isn't a matter where she would joke like this. And the fact that haru said he trusted her made Zenobia even more determined to not let Cynthia waste his time like this.
"Director Goodsky what did you want to talk about with Haru?" Zenobia interjected as she looked at Cynthia who was a bit surprised at Zenobia's serious expression.
Cynthia looked at Haru and Zenobia a few times before nodding. This confused Zenobia who looked at Haru to see him smile and felt her face heat up so she looked away quickly.
"This is good," Cynthia said as she patted Zenobia's shoulder with a wide smile.
"What is good?" Zenobia tilted her head and Cynthia leaned in.
"It is a good match, I am waiting for the invitation," Cynthia whispered to Zenobia who was blushing hard.
"T-There is nothing like that," Zenobia quickly denied.
"Oh come on you can't hide from my eyes, I can see the way you look at him," Cynthia whispered shocking Zenobia who stood up abruptly with a red face.
"What happened Zenobia?" Haru asked as he looked at Zenobia.
"A-ah nothing, I will get some snacks for everyone," Zenobia said with a blush as she went upstairs.
"Fufu, she is a pure child even while living in such a world," Cynthia said as she saw Zenobia running upstairs.
"Hmm," Haru nodded as he was quite surprised when he saw Zenobia's pure side considering how different she is in other matters.
"As that Child is away, we can talk properly won't you agree?" Cynthia said with a slight smile but she was suppressing the unease In her heart.
"That is correct, So why are you posing to be a citizen here?" Haru asked Cynthia with a smile making the latter flinch.
"…" Cynthia was sweating as she looked at Haru, she couldn't answer him even if she wanted to, she was unable to even move her body at the moment like a mountain was pressing her down.
'When did he do it?' Cynthia was shocked at how she was even able to lift a finger.
"Do you want to kidnap Zenobia by getting close to her?" Haru asked in a serious tone.
Hearing this Cynthia's eyes widened she didn't know that Zenobia was targeted by the Alacryan side.
'Why does she have the soul seal on her?' Haru thought as his eyes narrowed, when he read the novel Cynthia was a good character even though there wasn't much he knew about her.
But from what he had read she wasn't someone who meant harm to anyone.
"Judging from your expression it looks like you have no idea about this," Haru said with an impassive look.
'Things are a bit troublesome now, How did this happen was she captured secretly so that they can get an important person from Dicathen to be their informer? No that sounds like too much work, but what is the real motive behind Alacrya's actions?' Haru thought as he placed the teacup on the table.
Cynthia wasn't sure what to do she couldn't answer any of the questions Haru asked.
"Are you perhaps one of the Deities?" Cynthia asked as she looked at Haru who had powers that could only be explained by this.
