Chereads / Ancient Adventurer Return / Chapter 23 - Revelation

Chapter 23 - Revelation

« Wait, wait , wait a second ! What do you mean a God ?! » Asked Yama, who by now was already out of the couch and shaking his assistant while Bora and Katarea were gasping.

' How the hell did he....'

' That's a skill Master. It does explain why he is Yama's assistant. Yama deals with the hunters directly , it is quite useful for him to have someone who can spy on other people's bracelet.´ Said Yoru.

« Master I think this situation is going to become complicated real quick. » Katarea voiced her complain. Bora nodded and glared at the assistant who was stuttering as he told Yama what he had seen on the screen.

Yama suddenly stopped physically abusing his assistant and took a step back, as if he had been struck. He then looked at Bora, his eyes filled with such fear Bora wondered what his assistant could've told him.

« It all makes sense.... » Mumbled Yama as he sat down on the couch. Bora tensed, scared to hear what Yama was going to tell him. He had been in Japan for only a few weeks and someone already knew he was.

« You didn't have a bracelet....You can create copies of items.....You are even more greedy than me.....And most importantly.....A few weeks ago a report came from a group of scientists that had been sent in Korea to conduct researches on an ancient temple that was said to be place where the last evil god was located.....The God of Greed ! » Shouted Yama as he pointed his finger at Bora. Katarea grabbed her war axe as soon as she heard that while Bora's jaw dropped.

They both thought that the situation had become worse than it possibly could, but Yama suddenly laughed.

« Hahaha, don't be so tense your highness. I won't tell it to anyone. Though some people already knew it. » Exclaimed Yama.

« Wait a second there ! What do you mean some people already knew it ?! » Shouted Katarea, her grip on her weapon so tight it looked like said weapon was about to break.

« Didn't you feel like someone was watching you recently ? As if you were constantly followed ? » Asked Yama. Katarea's eyes widened and her axe fell to the geound.

« I knew it...I knew it !!! I knew Yoru was hiding something !Who is following us ?! » Yelled Katarea, which shocked Bora so much he turned to her in an instant.

« What do you mean by that ?! »

' Yoruuuuu...'

' I'll explain later Master. For now just listen to Yama and don't panic. Stay as calm as possible.' Said Yoru, his tone proving how serious he currently was. Bora clenched his teeth but said nothing more.

« Well the gods obviously. They quickly located you and seems to have great interest in you. And who is that Yoru ? » Said Yama. Katarea hesitated for a second but Bora talked before she could.

« It's my Aria, but it doesn't matter. It's not surprising for the gods to be aware of who I am, but are they the only ones ? »

The tension in the room became even heavier as not only Katarea but Bora too was glaring at Yama who looked as relaxed as possible. Though his assistant was making himself as small as possible.

« No.....Someone else know about you. Otobayashi Mirai, Head Knight of the Thorny Rose order. It's currently the strongest knight order in all of japan. Mirai is known as the strongest japanese knight. She's an otherwordly beauty who's known to be extremely cold and manipulative. The government loves her while the people despise her. I could tell you why she knows about you....But I think it's better if you talk with her first. » Said Yama with a somewhat sad face.

´ Yoru who the hell is this-'

' I'll explain later ! For now just get the hell put of here ! ' Roared Yoru. Bora was shaken by his Aria's outburst but he said nothing and got up. Katarea picked her axe from the ground and followed Bora. He then approached Yama and lifted his arm, showing him his bracelet. Yama quickly understood and brought his own bracelet against Yama's. A little * Ding * was heard and Bora turned towards the door. He then exited the room but not before he shot the assistant a last glare.

Bora quickly went outside and decided to head straight for the hotel. Katarea followed him, unsure as to why he looked so angry. The situation didn't seem all that bad, given that only the god and a single woman knew about her master's identity.

When they arrived in front of the hotel, Bora froze as he saw a woman who was sitting on a bench just a few meters away, smoking a cigarette. Katarea was surprised by the how beautiful this woman was, after all Djinns like all demons respected not only strengh but beauty.

« That's mirai apparently. Yoru just told me she was there the day we arrived in japan, spying on us while I was complaining about the plane. »

This surprised her even more. It seemed that this was what Yoru was hiding. But she still failed to understand why Bora looked so angry. It's not like the woman could be dangerous for them, she was just...The best knight in all of japan. Katarea tensed as she suddenly realised how shitty the current situation truly was.

The woman had yet to see them, and Bora didn't seemed to really want her to. Katarea was about to ask him what they should do, but Bora suddenly lifted his hand to prevent her from speaking. She quickly understood he was having a conversation with Yoru.

' So.....Any idea on how she came to know who I am ?'

´Master I understood who she is only just now so don't be angry at me. She is...Ughh she is part of the Greed's cult. She is one of your worshipper, atleast I think so.'
