Regressor Or A Pedophile?

[Payment Received 5000 on..]

Looking at the notification where Ian received the award money, he couldn't help but smile happily. Wearing his black hoodie, he stood at the bus stop checking out the message on his phone as the rain poured down from the sky, leaving him no choice but to take shelter here.

With this new feature, I don't think I would have any problems regarding money in the future.

Searching for lottery tickets with cash prizes nearby, Ian was able to cheat and acquire a lottery ticket for himself that awarded him 5000 thalums along with some other tickets that rewarded him with a little lesser amount combined.

For now, Ian only searched for the lotteries near him to get some instant money to try out the new feature, which is just amazing in Ian's opinion. Later, he has more plans to use these new abilities to make more money, but that's a tale for another time.

Weather nowadays has become so unpredictable.

Looking out at the road bathed in rainwater, Ian sighed. He left his apartment after finding out about the lotteries and buying them to get their rewards, but as he was about to return, he encountered this non-seasonal rain, making him take shelter under the bus stand where he received his lottery rewards online.

Ah, what to do?!

Looking around, Ian wondered as he began to get bored waiting for the rain to end while he watched other people being busy with their phones.

Hmm.. by the way, what's our regressor doing anyway?

After getting busy with finding talents and whatnot, Ian almost forgot about Alan's existence. The two days he was unconscious most of the time or busy with the system, so he hadn't gotten time to learn more about Alan or go back to school.

Where is Alan anyway?

As Ian thought, his talent began to respond. The mana in his body began to surge, and the map once again appeared within Ian's mind, zooming in on a place near the outskirts of the forest in the slums.

A live view of the forest appeared in Ian's line of sight, only visible to him, showcasing the events conspiring.

Hmm? What place is this?

Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, Ian checked the location only to find it not too far from his current location, just a 15-minute walk away.

"Hey kid, here, take this."

Crouching a little, sitting on one knee, a young man wearing black clothes and a black mask that covered his face said while looking at the kid wearing ragged and dirty clothes with his beautiful black eyes.

Stretching his hands out, the young man held out a sandwich for the little girl who stood before him to eat.

What is this fucker doing?

Looking at the screen with narrowed eyes, Ian thought as he looked at Alan giving out food to a little girl that appeared to be a little malnourished.

The girl appeared to be around the age of 10 or so with long black hair that was in a mess and ragged clothes. Her face was covered with mud, but even then one could still tell how remarkable her facial features are, and if given a proper clean-up, she could rival some teen models with her beauty.

This seems a bit... suspicious.

Yeah, a fully grown man who had grown past eighteen wearing black clothes and a suspicious mask alone with a beautiful minor in a rather alienated place giving her free food... that's a really suspicious scene.

"It's tasty, isn't it?"

The girl, who was hesitant at first to take the food from the stranger, grabbed it and took a bite, enjoying the taste of the sandwich that finally filled her empty stomach.

"Hmm."

The girl nodded with shiny eyes before taking another giant bite and munching down on the sandwich greedily.

"Hehehe, eat slowly, or it might get stuck in your throat," Alan said with a gentle laugh, offering the girl more food.

"See, if you stick with me, you'll get to eat like this every day, and you'll never have to worry about being hungry again."

The girl's eyes widened with hope and relief. "Really? I won't be hungry anymore?" she asked, her voice trembling with emotion.

"Yes, really," Alan reassured her with a warm smile.

"Okay," she said softly, nodding. "I'll come with you."

Yeah, what's the number for police again?

The more Ian watched, the more he got compelled to call the police on the perverted regressor.

The rain stopped along with Ian, who was about to dial the number as he listened to the regressor's next words as they stopped near the public restroom for the girl.

"Hahaha... who would believe that the Blood Mandala once lived like this?"

"In my past life, she ruled Echovale City from the shadows with her talent and defended it against the Reavers."

"Who would have thought that such a fearsome woman would now be an innocent little girl living in the slums, hiding from local gangsters?"

"In this life, I'll take care of her and make her my loyal ally who will help me fight against them."

That's not caring, that's grooming!

Ian thought as he listened to Alan's mumbles, who was rattling out his thoughts, spilling out all of his plans.

It's a habit of most protagonists isn't it to speak their thoughts out loud forgetting that one can think without having to say things out.

In most of the cliché novels, even if not related to regressors, they cross paths with younger versions of the strongest girls in their previous life, taking them in because of their poor conditions and grooming them to become their subordinates, and later adding them to their harems.

"Fucking pedophile!"

Ian cursed with disgust as he thought of the regressor's perverted plots and left the bus stand.

By the way, what does he mean by Reavers?
