The Darkness Metal Manipulation
Chapter 54's

"Hm...! Eh, wait? Hero said?" Zyden pretended to be shocked and startled the receptionist.

"I.iya." The receptionist was disturbed.

"Woe... Cool! I could be in the same town as the hero." Zyden exclaimed in a high tone that made people look at him.

Both the adventurer who was eating, and the receptionist who was in the back room.

They were shocked and immediately noticed. Zyden was too exaggerated and was aware that he was becoming a spectacle.

'fuck, I messed it up.' umpat Zyden for his carelessness. 'Where did my top-level acting go?' he continued in his heart.

"Oh... I'm sorry, I'm too excited to meet a hero!" Zyden held his head.

"Ti's... Its alright. I don't have a problem with that." Said the receptionist with his awkward smile.

"Hahaha, thanks. Then do you know what a hero looks like?" Zyden asked in a somewhat soft voice.

"Yes, of course I know. Ah... If you want to see the look of a hero. You can head to the town square!" The receptionist.

"The square! Why do I have to go to the square?" Zyden.

"There's a picture of them there. Recently, the kingdom spread the faces of the heroes they summoned throughout the kingdom." The receptionist explained.

"What?" Zyden was surprised.

He was completely shocked, and it was not a pretense anymore.

Zyden directly went to the town square to see the photo meant by the receptionist of the adventurer guild.

Arriving there, Zyden widened his eyes round and round looking at what was in front of him.

16 large photos of heroes are displayed right in the middle of the place surrounded by buildings.

Tightly arranged trees adorn the fountain behind the photos of the heroes.

The square was crowded with walkers and people enjoying the place.

It's a perfect place to show something.

"Damn! This isn't a photograph, this is an election pamphlet running for him to be the leader of a region." Blaspheme Zyden on the photo of such a great hero.

"Akh.., shit, shit, shit. How could I not have known there was such a big thing." Zyden was angry.

"..., what really happened? Why don't I get information about this from the eyes of knowledge skill?"

"Obviously this is something that can be seen easily by eyes of knowledge. However, I didn't see anything about this?"

"Is there anyone who uses barriers? No, ... No. gabe. Think again!"

"Why hide something that everyone already knows. If there were, my eyes would be able to see the barrier."

"But..., there is no barrier? Nothing to hide? Then why can't I see anything about heroes?" Zyden said thinking very hard.

"Tu...wait?" Continue to realize something. "All I can't see is information about heroes."

"In addition to the hero, I can see all the information about this city! The adventurer guilds, the merchants, the inns, even the prostitution places I hated the most I could see."

"However, I still can't see anything about heroes? There are no barriers, and no problems with eyes of knowledge."

"Then, there must be someone covering the hero info right out of my eyes. And there's only one person who can do it!"

'the god who gave this skill.'

"Fuck-in! Whenever there was a problem, he was always the first on the list of suspects. I have to straighten this out when I see him again."

"Become my mission giver? Or my trappers from this mission? I'll definitely get an answer from him." Excited Zyden saw the hero's photo. "But first... I need to get acquainted with these heroes." Further.

'They don't look like Indonesians. They look more like the European version of isekai.' Zyden thought heed the pamphlet of the heroes.

'they don't seem to be from Earth! If I exist in another world, it does not mean there is no world other than Earth and Bessara. There must be thousands of planets and worlds containing humans.'

'they look young, their age is definitely not much different from mine. Although some look older, at most two to three years apart.'

'but age cannot reflect a person's mindset. The way to see a person's mindset is to look at the surrounding environment. But, I don't know what kind of world they used to live in.'

'Ah 'Akh! I don't want to be dizzy about them, I just need to look at them straight away. Now, where can I find them?'

"Really, unfortunately me!" Mumbled Zyden pitying himself.

Not long after, there was a voice calling out Zyden's name not far behind.

"Zim! Zyden!" The voice was soft yet loud, and it kept calling.

Zyden, who heard his name being shouted by someone, started to turn around and look towards the voice.

And it turned out, the source of the voice was Erika who was waving her hands and was accompanied by several people.

Erika ran towards Zyden while waving her hand which made the people beside her astonished.

Again Zyden was made silent! Behind his mask, he froze in disbelief at what he was looking at.

The hero he was looking for and was made dizzy by him, was beside the person he was adventuring with. Something really unexpected.

"Haaahs... What exactly is going on today?" Zyden said with his desperate words.

"Hehe, look-look! Who's near me." Erika exclaimed at the few people beside her.

Zyden did not respond, he looked at Erika in surprise. Then a few seconds later, one of the people beside Erika started talking.

"Erika. Who is this guy?" Ask a man with short red hair.

"Oh, her? He's my fiance!" Erika said casually.

"HUH!" Zyden and the man were shocked together.

The others, meanwhile, displayed a very clear shock on their faces about what Erika had just said.

"Fiancee!" Exclaim redhead men make sure.

"Yes." Yeah." Answer Erika.

"Hey, what are you saying!" Zyden said a little screamed. "What engagement do you mean? Are we engaged!" Continue with doubt.

"You are the one my father approved of. So, besides the word fiancee! What other words are suitable for us?" Erika cried to Zyden.

"Why are you? Saying such absurd things. Did you hit something on your head, Erika!" Zyden asked by bringing his mask closer together.

"Are I saying something silly?" Erika Sahut.

"Yes! I don't know why I preferred a hostile Erika the first time we met." Said Zyden indifferently.

"Aren't you the one who changed me? Why are you surprised by that!" Erika replied.

"What! What did I do to you until I changed. Isn't our relationship bad all this time? Then, how can I change you!" Zyden.

"Just think to yourself, you shrimp brain!" Erika folded her hands and closed her eyes.

"A..." Said Zyden who was stopped because of Erika's behavior. 'this fucker mesh-ng, what is he planning?' continued thinking.

Erika glanced at the silent Zyden, then pointed at the few people who were looking at them.

"You know who they are, right?" Erika.

'Yes! I already know..., just now!' thought Zyden was cold to see it.

"They are heroes!" Erika is excited.

'Yes! I know, so don't repeat.'

"Aren't I great, being able to meet a hero on our first day." Erika said with a little bragging.

'Yes! I know, you're totally out of expectations.' Zyden still answered, but in his mind.

"So... Do you have any compliments for me!" Erika exclaimed with her strange behavior.

'HUH! A COMPLIMENT? Just be right! She's why the hell? Sure, he must be crazy! I'm sure it.' Zyden thought he saw Erika.

"Ehem! I have a question. How did you meet them?"
