Kubei was just an ordinary pencil and button pusher working a day job, hating his boss and making horrible speeches when one day he fell asleep after pushing an all-nighter. When he woke up, he was bound to a chair, facing three creepy robed women and in a body way too young and way too weak to be his own. As he slowly came to, he realized that he was no longer in the same universe as he was before. He had teleported to the Kingdom of Helius, where an all-powerful church rules its lands and wages war against the elusive group known only as Mages. Armed with an incredibly cocky neural interface that just won’t shut up and his own sheer wit, our MC will find himself not just fighting to survive, but maybe even something bigger than himself.
Chapter 122 - Cursed City
"You have already gotten what you wanted, why did you return to the capital?"

Benjamin discovered that Michelle has found a way to shut him.
That is — to bullshit.
The relationship between them was sandwiched between being a companion and enemy. They didn’t trust each other and kept their guards up. But on the surface level, they appeared cooperative. If he was to ask Michelle a question, Michelle would answer.
But her way of answering wasn’t to Benjamin’s expectation.
Thanks to the tear and the excruciating headache Benjamin was having, Michelle was the winner in this ‘cooperative’ relationship. Hence, she didn’t have to seek Benjamin’s opinion and if Benjamin had any concerns, it was her way or the highway.
Benjamin was helpless under these circumstances.
He was, after all, living under her roof.
