Chapter 48: Call me father
Chapter 48: Call me father
Tetsuya's Redemption City had a lot of room for progress.
He left it with good hands and reliable people were constantly moving in as Tetsuya's standards for even common people were luxury compared to the norm.
The hard-work was also more rewarding if one could see its progress with naked eye.
Since there were a lot of people constantly coming in, Tetsuya decided to visit Redemption City in a few years even if his current goals were yet to be fulfilled.
After Tetsuya bid farewell to his people, he left with the butler to Yulia Household.
This was when the problems arose, but only for the butler.
"Would you like me to carry you to Yulia Household?" He asked.
"Only a goddess with indescribable charm would be able to carry me." Tetsuya answered.
"It will take us at least two weeks to get here if we move by foot How about I rent a carriage, then?"
"I am in a mood for a walk. Didn't I say it already?"
"..."
The butler couldn't understand what was so bad about him carrying Tetsuya to Yulia Household. It would take no more than an hour or so with his speed, but this new young master just refused and put on a strong front.
Would it be embarrassing? It wasn't like the butler could only carry Tetsuya 'like princess' as there was back too! If not back, then the butler could just fly up and allow Tetsuya to hold his foot tightly while flying.
It would take some strength out of Tetsuya and it certainly would lower speed too, but Tetsuya also refused this.
An unknown man below the ego sovereign? Laughable!
There was another reason, though.
Tetsuya learned about Yulia Household more from both the butler and the old man. He also questioned Reyas too, but what he learned was that this household was on par with Mystic Academy and other two households that had the most influence in this province.
Was it surprising that all those strongholds lived close to each other? Tetsuya didn't think much of it, but he wanted to take a look at Mystic Academy from afar as it was on their way here.
He needed to properly gauge this place with his rune and his mood was also set on a walk.
In this way, Tetsuya and the butler spent two weeks straight on foot!
-
'This world dared to laugh at me yet again' Tetsuya's mood plummeted after seeing the mystic academy. He barely could see through people patrolling their territories and later learned that those were the students!
This annoyed him to the core. After all, Tetsuya got reminded about this world being not so easy compared to his former one. The strength and runes ruled the world and his eidetic memory with good aptitude meant nothing much in the face of stronger people.
It was a slap to the face, 'I can only slap them harder. All this world will abide by my rules This MMORPG and MOBA GAME I will make the whole Yulia Household-'
"We are here." The butler interrupted Tetsuya's thoughts. He didn't say anything other than that as Tetsuya's mood was seen on his face.
As a special and unique individual Tetsuya was, only the master of Yulia Household could properly speak and even teach him some manners! For now, the butler was on the losing side and kept silent.
As his mood was bad, Tetsuya didn't glance at his new home and just stepped in.
However, Yulia Household was a really beautiful place. It expanded through the horizon with thousands of flowers on every step that were twinkling under dawn's appearance. It seemed like dew just swept through this nice place as everything was glittering nonstop!
The roads were clean and fresh air was permeated with unknown aroma that always forced new guests to breathe heavily. Tetsuya was also like that, but he just closed his eyes, his strut not interrupted.
Soon, Tetsuya found himself on a pathway made out of reflecting stone. He could see himself with the colorful trees in the background, hovering their branches atop him. As it was common here, those trees also had colorful fruits which looked tasty and alluring.
Even this ego master ended up with his face serene after moving so much in this territory.
"Don't you have a lot of disciples or students?" Tetsuya asked the butler who just answered briefly, "It's dawn." This man didn't find it weird that there was no one here.
Though Tetsuya speculated that some hidden guardians were here as it was just plain stupidity to leave this whole place unguarded.
He then entered the house belonging to Yulia Household's Master.
This was a man with various titles such as; Yulia Head, Family Head, Lustful Demon, Tulip Swordsman His name was Henryk.
Upon seeing Henryk, Tetsuya's eyes went wide as the pressure descended onto him. This pressure came relatively fast, just a few seconds after their first eye exchange.
The weight kept escalating, then Henryk parted his lips, "Call me father, you bastard."
