Merry Christmas guys!
...
Shameless! This was the word that his mind immediately came up, regarding the words of the voice.
You think I'm an idiot? Sistine might think so, but if you were to ask me personally. I would of course answer no, it's just that recently there are a lot of things going on in my mind, being excited to use my power and trying to act like a cool, edgy, perfect protagonist, blinded my mind.
Not gonna lie, it's a fact that beautiful women also clouded my head. The very first time I was exposed to the outside world with my newly profound power, I tried to act mysterious and secretive, but of course it failed. If you forgot, that would be the time when I first met Catherine, I told her a fake name, and yet exposed myself that I'm finding my parents, the outcome was I got exposed.
What was really irritating is that this guy' question made me remember how much of a blunder I did back then, and as if making my past wounds bleed even more, he dared to ask this question! This is clearly testing my intelligence!
Without any interference inside my head, or beautiful women insight. This question? Heh, it's way too easy for me. You want to know how? You just need to analyze, cope with the surrounding, know the personality of the one asking question.
He shook his head, he was positive enough to remain confident.
With a look as if the answer was already within his hands, he analyzed.
Let's see, first and foremost, this guy already gave a hint, his name is Ray. Looking at the place, there is no one around, this guy is probably not here, some of his words also hinted that the possibility of him being dead is huge. Lastly, this guy's personality is a shameless bastard. Of course, the answer to his question is already within my grasp.
His expression suddenly change to disbelief.
"I didn't expect for you to be this shameless, even when you're dead, you still shamelessly praise yourself. I know. I understand. You just want someone to remember you, and when you found you don't have any good qualities for one to remember. Left with no choice, you could only be shameless to be remembered.
When he was done saying that, as if all his past expression was fake, at first his expression turned to shock, then he was now full of regret and self-hatred.
"Wait!... No! It was just a façade!... if it was not me here. I'm pretty sure no one would understand you my friend. Look at the symbols in this place... that one should be a symbol of a woman?... My friend, this is your true meaning huh. I hate myself for not quickly understanding you.
He sighed, looking at the surroundings.
Sigh, for you to be remembered; you would need to leave something behind. The symbols here are the clue. My friend, I didn't expect that you would have a wife that you left behind... Hm? What is this?... you even have a daughter! My friend, you are really so good to me.
He couldn't help but shed a bit of tears while talking, he even treated the guy as his friend now. His friend was too kind to him.
With a face full of responsibility and care, he said.
"Don't worry since you left this for me. I would take responsibility and take care of it. In the star night sky, I will talk about life with your wife, your daughter will of course be not left behind."
Breathing deeply, with a very serious look, he continued.
"I will properly make you a grave. Holding hands with your wife, teasing her, sometimes touching her. The three of us will visit your grave, to show you that I'm properly taking care of her.
I did say three of us will visit you, and the other one would be of course your daughter. She will kneel in front of your grave, sadly she is facing my direction. Nonetheless, she is still praying for you. My friend, you have such a good daughter."
He couldn't help but smile as he praised his good friend's daughter.
"I know that after I clear your trial, I will soon meet them. I promise you my friend, I will take really good care of them... Since I know what you mean now, I finally have the answer to your question.
"The most handsome person in the universe, no one could take this title, and no one could make me say it... except you, my good friend. The answer is... Ray the cuckold.
It was still not know whether the source of the voice is really present or not, but if it is. It seems like the owner of the voice has quite a lot of composure to not get angry of his words.
"Wrong! Your answer is incorrect." The voice said coldly.
It's as if he didn't sense the change, and the coldness of the voice. He smiled.
"My friend, you really know how to joke... but don't worry I'll go along with it. If it's not you who could it be?"
"The answer is—
Before the voice could even finish, he interrupted him.
"Wait! Ahh... What a blunder, I gotta agree that I'm really an idiot. The person that both of us agree on, would of course be the most beautiful my friend. So the answer is your wife... Ahh! How did I not find it sooner!"
He was full of remorse.
"My friend I didn't expect that I didn't have that much understanding for me to make that blunder. Don't worry after this, I will properly take care of your wife, to the point that when someone ask me who is the most beautiful person in the universe, without any second thought I could answer that it is your wife... though at that time, my woman..."
He said with confidence, it's as if a fire was burning on his eyes. He was that dedicated.
"Fuck! How shameless are you! To dare even covet my wife!" As to be expected, the voice couldn't hold it in anymore.
This also proves that he was not the only one in this place, the owner of the voice was really present. He gotta hand it to the guy who was really good at acting of not being here.
"Fuck! Why did you curse my friend?! Are you finally leaving your wife to me... if that's the case, don't forget to also leave your daughter to me."
When the voice suddenly cursed, it was surprising the he didn't have any strong reaction, as if he expected that someone was really here.
"Shit! Rules are rules, you failed to answer the question; you're incorrect. Death shall be the punishment of those who failed." Something like an image of a person appeared above stone tablet.
