Tension

When Sam opens the door, I can see a spacious living room with a sofa and an elegant table with a fancy table cloth.The floor was made by marbles stone

Next into the living room is the dining room with several wooden chairs and tables. The furniture has a unique smell but I feel relaxed.

Sam enters the house first and switches on the lamp. But they aren't like the lamp that I know on the modern-day. The lamps here are made by a glowing white stone covered by the balloons-shaped glass and placed on the wall.

"This is magic lamps made by the special stone that founded In the deep layer of the dungeon. The Hero uses his appraisal and found this stone. Then his companion Cassandra the Great Mage use her magic and invented the magic lamp. This is very expensive and not all noble can afford to buy it."

The hero influences again.

First is katana, abacus and now the lamps.

And he has companions too.

Is his companion from Earth too?

Nah, just save this information for now.

The stone size is around billiard's ball and they aren't perfectly round-shaped. Even the magic lamp's size is small, but it can illuminate a whole room.

"Please take a seat on the sofa Vin."

"Thank you."

"How about it, do you believe us now?"

Yeah, with this huge store and private resident, the employee greets them before, they are enough to convince me.

"I believe you."

"Then tell us, who is your noble friend in the Capital?"

"I can't tell you, but I promised my friend can help with your problem."

"Don't give me an ambiguous answer Vin!! I can't let Lady Sophia come to a dangerous place without a perfect plan."

"Even you said that I can't tell you because my friend doesn't want her identity exposed."

"You, youuu....!!!!"

Sam tried to hit me but Lady Sophia holds his hands.

"What are you trying to do Sam? This is my decision to follow his plan. I believe in him."

"Lady Sophia, don't trust anyone so blindly. He might look strong, but our opponent is noble. We need to be careful and not causing trouble for our company. Noble is feeling jealousy of our Company and they will do anything to destroy us."

Maybe noble jealous because Avalon is richer than them.

"This is my final decision Sam, will you follow me?"

"I see if that is Lady Sophia's wish I will follow you."

"Why you trust me so much, Lady Sophia?"

I can't tell them about Olivia and I don't have anything to convince them except my fighting skill, but why Lady Sophia trust me?

"This is my intuition, Vin."

Woman intuition huh. Even on Earth, woman intuition is something that even scientist can't solve.

Now, I can't betray her expectation, but I don't receive a reply from Olivia yet.

What's happen?

Let's stay positive.

Maybe she needs to organize everything to make a flawless plan. She is a princess after all.

"But how will you do to make me can enter David's mansion tomorrow?"

"You will be disguised as Lady Sophia's childhood friend. Do you know some manner when you talk with noble?"

Honestly, I don't familiar with this noble thing plus even I was scolded by Caroline (Olivia's Guardian) because I lack manners when I talk with a princess.

But in this boy's memories, I can remember 'he' learn basic manner when 'he' stays on Count's Territory in the Listel Kingdom. I can improvise and use his knowledge.

"Yeah, I learn basic manners in the past. David probably won't ask me too much isn't it?"

"I see. Then can you tell us once again about your plan?"

"Please don't rush me, Sam, we need to think about all the possibilities before we decide the plan."

"Yeah, I agree."

"When we come to his mansion, are we allowed to bring my weapons?"

"I think that's impolite when you come to noble Mansion while bringing your weapon."

"Then can I hide small weapons like a dagger?"

"You can as long as they don't know."

"Great. The next question is where will they bring us if they want to take us as hostages?"

"We still don't know about that."

"Okay, let's skip that and move to the next question. Are you sure David will take us as hostages?"

"Pretty sure. He will do anything to make money."

"Then do you mind if you waiting for a longer time because my friend's aid won't reach Andalas in a short time?"

This is a dangerous question.

I hope he will understand our current situation.

"It depends on how likely your plan is to succeed?"

"I promised Lady Sophia safety over myself. I swear in the name of God Astaroth that I will protect her."

I use God's name to make him believe my words, even I don't have any faith with God here. God's influence is quite strong and If someone swears under the name of God, his word can be trusted. Because if they break the promise, they will get a divine judgment. I never see it with my eyes or inside the boy's memories so I don't know if this is the truth or not.

When I come to this world, I've met with a lot of death flags. Who will expect his second life was started to be kidnapped with bandits?

Not to mention, he has the 'Demon Lord' trait which is supposed as last boss or Humanity Greatest Enemy.

Where ever he goes, he meets a lot of misfortune due to this trait.

Who will have faith in God when they experienced that?

Unlike the protagonist on Light novel which I read who has a cheat power from the start and can get everything easily, I started with a worse situation.

If this was a game, The difficulty would be Very Hard or Hell Mode.

This game and novel stuff is something I learn to help me socialize with boys. This stuff is popular among them.

I admit the game and Novel are quite interesting for me because I can run away from reality and I can do anything.

Imagine as MC on the light novel who has a lot of companions and power to do almost anything. That's was the opposite of my life.

My life is miserable and I was helpless, I have a lot of friends but they were a tool to help me get closer with my target. Our friendship is just a fake relation without meaning.

But those 6 persons are different. They always pull me into their circle even I don't want to join them. Their pure will and their kindness are reaching my heart. They never run out of ideas and make me always 'look' at their antic. That was the first time, I feel warmth because I have friends in my life.

But I died before even say goodbye to them. Even If I do that, they probably will sad because of my death. I don't want to affect their life anymore. They deserve to find a 'true' friend rather than 'fake' me.

In the game, I can customize my character based on my ideal. I can do anything freely here too without 'reality' chain shackles me.

But still, I was forced to do ridiculous things just to enroll in Elementary Academy huh.

Damn.
