"I'm sorry for all of us!" They all bow their heads simultaneously.

"It doesn't matter, I did do this intentionally. Letting you get hurt is also a bit of my responsibility." Ren answered.

After knowing who Ren really is. Their attitude change was so drastic, they turned into Respect for Ren.

Especially Kazumi and Arisu, both of them were well aware of who R.Styx was.

"Anu... Ren-san.. Can I have your autograph?" Arisu spoke a little embarrassed.

The reaction of the three friends was so surprised, seeing Arisu's attitude that suddenly became strange like this. Arisu who is quiet and so hard to talk to can be this shy.

"What do you mean "same"? I don't understand" Ren replied Arisu in astonishment.

"Master Ren, "sama" is the word used for someone who is highly respected or admired who comes from Japan." Kazumi explained to Ren.

"Geez, I am no stranger to this word. So you're all Japanese?" Ren asked Kazumi and his friend.

"Eum!" They all nodded.

"Ep.. Anu's.. Hows it? can I have your autograph?" Arisu touched her two index fingers together.

"Sure, but for what? my signature is worth nothing."

"Mr Ren..... You may not understand." Kazumi shook his head.

"imm? About what?." Ren asked back.

"As for Arisu, she's an Emmm fan!!" Yuki speaks but is stopped by Arisu.

"Shhh!.. Y-Yuki!" Arisu's face flushed red, and tried to shut Yuki's mouth.

"Do I have anything like a fan?" Ren astonished.

"Well, if you insist. All right, you're a Mage, right? let me see your wand." Ren spoke to Arisu.

"Pulse... It's." Arisu gave her magic wand.

Ren observed the Scepter of Arisu closely. He looked like a scientist who was researching seriously.

"Middle class yes, not good. Just a minute here..." Ren is gone.

When Ren's figure had disappeared completely. Yuki spoke to Arisu.

"Hey Arisu, what if he's a fake?" Yuki.

"You doubt it? weren't you surprised, too?" Kazumi furrowed his brows.

"I'm just surprised! not that I trust him completely. I don't really know him much other than just names." Yuki explained.

"He's real, I'm sure." Reigin made a comment after a long silence.

-

"Shhh... He's back." Kazumi speaking.

Ren has returned, now he is carrying two different sticks.

"According to my observation, this stick is no longer suitable for you umm.. Arissu's? Well, instead of..." Ren pulled out a stick.

It was a beautiful silver stick. At the end of it is a bright red crystal. Not only that, the most striking of all was the silver and red aura that enveloped the staff.

"I'll give you this stick, a special wand I made myself. Here is also engraved the name that can be said to be my signature." Ren showed the carving of his name on the stick to Arisu.

"What?! a weapon of effect, given to Arisu?!" Yuki's surprised.

"Is there a problem?" Ren turned to yuki.

"Ah...Nothing, Hehehe." Yuki replied with an awkward smile.

"This is Arisu, I'm giving this to you." Ren handed me the wand.

While Kazumi and Reigin are only amazed at Ren who gives the Weapon its effects for free. Kazumi knew that only high-level weapons made by special materials gave off an Effect and it was worth it.

"Waa... Waa.. T-Teri-ma love you so much!!" Arisu looked very pleased and bowed. Several times Arisu opened and closed her mouth in disbelief.

"Pulse.. Sure." Sure." Ren smiled, then he turned to Kazumi.

"There's something I want to know about you guys." Ren turned his face seriously. Making Reigin, Kazumi and Yuki goosebumps.

"Simple, I just want to know, what happened 3 years ago." Ren looked at Kazumi.

"Glyc.. All right, I'll tell you."

"Three years ago, before we were transferred to this world. We were with my uncle in his Guild Room.

At that time the window that offered the Event appeared, we along with uncle decided to follow the Event and chose the answer 'Yes' simultaneously. We also lost consciousness and woke up in the Royal Capital of Aulzania, with other players of course. Uncle who realized that we were in another world immediately acted quickly.

Uncle and a few other powerful players immediately formed an Adventurer Guild to protect the newbies, just as the Moon Alliance did.

But many players choose to adventure themselves, as a result of which most of them died while fighting Mosnter. We are also still very weak and a beginner." Kazumi took a breath first.

"Pulse.. Continue." Ren nodded and instructed Kazumi to continue telling the story.

"According to the Information from my Uncle, half of the COTHENIC players have been transferred to this world and spread across the continent. The problem is, not all of these players are good, there are some who become bad people and join the evil organization of this world. One of them is in the Kingdom of Aulzania is the Night Corpse." Kazumi spoke seriously.

"Hooo's.. A familiar name." Ren commented.

"They don't even hesitate to kill anyone who gets in their way. The purpose of this organization itself is still very mysterious."

"We who are still weak, educated by my uncle for 2 years. After that, my uncle suggested we go to this town of Ceeven. He said that we needed experience, but I knew that uncle was having trouble in the capital and didn't want to involve the four of us."

"Although we want to help uncle, but our strength is still weak. We can only comply with his request and go to this City."

"That's all I think." Kazumi speaking.

"That's all?" Ren asked.

"Yes, yeah,. Some of the information we cannot divulge to anyone. Even if it's you, Mr. Ren. You must understand better."

Kazumi speaking.

While Ren and the three others were talking about something serious.

Arisu only focused on the stick Ren gave her. He looked so happy that he did not care about the atmosphere around him.

"Thank you, that's pretty useful information for me. Now it's up to you, you're fine if you want to go back to Ceeven City. My disguise has also been revealed. But there's one thing you need to remember, don't say anything about me. If you break it...." Ren smiled.

"I'll give you a little warning."

Ren said with a smile, although his words were calm but inside contained strong emotions. Makes the three people creep in fear.

They knew the true meaning, which was that if they leaked this Secret, they would be killed.

"Glekkkl... Um.. Of course Mr. Ren, isn't that Yuki, Reigin?" Kazumi confirmed to his friend.

"I-Yes we promised" Yuki quickly nodded.

"I promise." Reigin said the same thing.

They quickly nodded and agreed. In their minds, Ren's figure was extremely mysterious.

They think Ren is a kind-hearted person and will not kill oranv easily. But all of that was denied by his unleashed killing intent.

Seeing the approval of the three people, Ren returned to his usual smile.

The Blood Sword was still in his hand, before it finally disappeared without a trace.

Ren leaves, and plans to continue his journey to the city of Rondelia. But then his steps stopped.

"Hm... I don't want to have debt. Is there anything you want from me?"

Ren turned around and asked.

"Wants?" The three people looked at each other, then nodded.

"Mr Ren, if allowed. We want you to help uncle in the capital. I'm sure he's in trouble, so please help my uncle." Kazumi lowered his head, followed by Reigin and Yuki.

"I'll think about this and also say my regards to Arisu."

Ren walked away from Kazumi and his friend while waving his hand.

Over time, Ren's figure had disappeared completely. Kazumi, Yuki and Reigin sighed, for some reason they felt afraid of Ren. Although Ren doesn't seem to be evil.

"That guy.... Horrible." Kazumi expressed his opinion.

"Yes, I agree with you Kazumi." Yuki replied to Kazumi.

"But, isn't he a good person?" Reigin asked with a plain face.

"Yes, I mean. Horrible in a different sense Reigin." Kazumi sighed Reigin still as usual.

"Oii Arisu, wake up!"

"Yeah!.. A-Ah?...... Kazumi yes, I thought it was Ren-sama. Eh? Where's Ren-sama?"

"He's gone."

"Yes, he's gone."

"He's gone, Arisu"

Hearing that from his three friends, Arisu again surprised and silent.

"Why didn't you tell me?!" A quiet Arisu shouted furiously.

"Phew... Sometimes, it's exhausting."

Ren who was walking towards Rondelia City muttered. His walking figure looked at the clear sky.

Ren's mind was now filled with how exhausting it was to have several different personalities.

Although all of it aims to hide his original personality.

"But the Night Corpse huh, looks like this is my first enemy?"

Black Hair, Red Eyes, handsome face. But behind all that he gave off a terrifying aura.

It made the monsters not dare to approach him. Ren deliberately took out his mana, so that the monsters no one dared to block the path.

"It seems, I have an additional reason to go to the capital."

Ren extended his arm towards the sun. Then Ren clenched his hands as if Ren had a new Plan for him to live on.
