As Systy bid farewell to the others in the guild and went straight to the mansion, where Mai was already waiting for Rekka to come. As soon as he was seen, he had been given a proper bath and tucked in his bed, unbeknownst to him. If he ever saw this scene, he would definitely say that those maids are terrifyingly good at their job.
Expectedly or unexpectedly enough, he had obtained a large sum of money and his monsters were going to flood the whole world's market like a storm. Many things will happen in the future but right now. He slept like it was no one's business.
.....
While Rekka was sleeping, his work was being distributed around the country. The products were going out in a free for all and getting enough attention that the nearby countries also started investigating.
In a few days, Everyone was thinking that where had the Monster stampede happened to be able to get all these materials, but the top quality at which the materials were in said it had been killed in the hunters favored and couldn't be seen as stampede where monsters were killed in hoards, except many materials were A-rank grade.
As these types of thinking was going around, the materials moved around the world. The one to deal with these was Leila Asadeli; she did these dealings in such a way that it had hardly been possible for anyone to track who was the root of this. As Leila was helped by someone expert with dealings in these things, she was able to easily handle this work and helped Rekka to earn his favour.
She had done this for being able to be in the good side of Rekka, as she had viewed, she could tell Rekka was on the modest side, in her view, after seeing Rekka's power shown at the guild, it was able to move people so much, she had knew only a kid like Rekka can fit to be a grandchild of the Heroes of humankind. he had every qualification to use their name but he didn't, and got in the guild like anyone else would do.
She felt some kind of pressure from him. It was like she was being pulled but the reality was she was captivated by Rekka's gentle side which also had an overwhelming presence…. It seemed that even if Rekka was young, Leila couldn't help but notice him as the opposite gender.
....
In a room that looked like it was meant to entertain royal guests, Merlin and Melinda were sitting and having tea. There was another person there too. She looked to be in her 30s, her face had a commanding vibe in it, she had red hair that was shortened to her shoulder height and she wore clothes like that would suit a human who was in power. That's right, she was the overlord of Treastein, the one at the peak of power. She was sitting opposite Merlin and Melinda.
"It's been this long and you brought the news that you turned the Cursed sword wielder into your Grandson?!" shouted Overlord Lilith Asadeli With a deep frown.
"Come on, shouldn't you be happy? We just got a grandson! you know how long we wanted one don't you? I thought you would jump in joy but I see you've got issues with it!!" retorted Melinda in a pouty voice, she was ignoring to talk respectively. On the other hand, the overlord who should've been in the higher category was trying to be as polite as possible.
This was because Merlin and Melinda both were the Master of Lilith Asadeli, she had to respect them. It was already embedded in her. After all this time, she could hardly make demands from them even if she had become an overlord.
"Come now Melinda, Lilith didn't mean it like that." consoled Merlin trying to stop Melinda from throwing a tantrum.
"Lilith, when you see him, you yourself would be surprised, I can say this, that even if he grew up in the Wilderness, he's more civilized than the people here." Said Merlin looking at Lilith.
"But what about the sword? I know you said he has it under control but for how long would that be? Is there any guarantee?" asked Lilith, she knew what the sword could do. It was no wonder she thought as such.
Only because Merlin and Melinda had spent so much time with Rekka that they had come to accept the present situation, so it was no wonder that the Overlord couldn't believe something like this. even if her dear masters were saying. That was how unbelievable it was. At last it was decided that Rekka would come to the capital and the overlord would see for herself.
"Okay then if that's all, then I'll be going alright!" Said Melinda and tried to leave. She was in a hurry to get to Rekka but the overlord stopped her.
"Master It's been so long, I can't let you leave just yet, go see Alice, She has been trashing the hell out of this place, maybe you can calm her down a bit." Said Lilith with a smile which was slightly pleading.
"Eeeh! No, I wanna go home!" Melinda made a superstitious plea. seeing things like this, Lilith took her hand to her forehead. Alice was her 2nd daughter. She was the reincarnation of chaos and Melinda was Alice's Idol but because of not being able to see her Idol for so long, made things complicated. As days went by, Alice had also gotten unusually stronger and now that strength had gotten to her head. As that was the case and since Melinda had also got a new Grandson, Alice was sure to retaliate because the grandson would become much more important than her for sure. things were going to get hectic if jealousy and Alice got mixed in, letting her worry in the back Merlin made a suggestion.
"Hey Lilith let's say this: what if Rekka made Alice more…. Calm. will your thinking of him change then?"
"Ha ha ha don't make me laugh. She has gotten ridiculously strong since you guys left and also she has become more rowdy. I doubt even your grandson can fix it. she will definitely hate him seeing Master Melinda ogling over him, are you crazy?" Said Lilith but on the other hand, Merlin and Melinda just shrugged. seeing not only Merlin but also Melinda's serious expression. She didn't know what was going on anymore, so she made the arrangement.
"I hope both of my Masters can handle whatever is gonna happen….."
After that, Lilith made a Maid fetch Alice and Alice went with Merlin and Melinda in a jolly good mood, she had seen them after a long time and being the most powerful people in her eyes, for the first time in many years, Alice had calmed down..
"Rekka. khu! Wonder what I'll do after he made the 2 most powerful people in humanity that way, I sure hope he will be sane in some way....." Lilith looked forward to seeing Rekka because he had changed Merlin and Melinda in some ways too. Lilith could tell just by having conversation for some hours.
Merlin who always had the tendency to run towards the path of the sword even after he had lost his strength was now much more calm, he was now a tempered blade not a blade that hunted for blood and power any longer. Merlin the sword saint had found his reason again. Becoming calm, Merlin now had a nurturing look with a new perspective in life.
On the other hand, Melinda who had gone silent along the years proving her younger days to be a myth had returned to her high tension form. Melinda the storm has yet again found something to obsess over. The overlord could hardly think just what that kid was who had made these two individuals as they were now. just looking at the duo of heroes' made Lilith shiver. will these two start to break the limits of humanity yet again?
That night Merlin and Melinda had to stay in the capital, although Melinda wanted to use teleportation magic to get home, she was stopped by Alice, as she wanted to travel by carriage, it was her way of monopolizing her time with the hero duo. As Melinda never said no to her in any way, She reluctantly had to agree.
...
"Haaah!" I had a good night's sleep and it was morning already, When I woke up... there wasn't anyone on my bed, I was glad but I also felt that I had some expectations, Brushing all those thoughts aside, I got up from my bed as Mai entered the room, she had prepared a change of clothes.
[That one was there all night long.]
"Good morning Young master. I see you had a good sleep!" She was cheery early in the morning. Her smile was charming. but to think she was outside my room all night long... what am I gonna do with them?
....
"Hmm, you seem happy, something good happened?"
"Yes Young Master, the local lord's son has been punished, the whole town is celebrating!" As she answered, she was dressing up Rekka.
"Hmm well that's good, people must be thrilled to have gotten rid of some plague." Answered Rekka nonchalantly.
"Why yes, many people even came by and gave their sincere thanks to you.."
"What'd I do?" As Rekka made a questioning glance at Mai, Systy came from behind her and greeted Rekka and explained.
...….
"Young master, I think you forgot but you had Taken down 26 C-rankers and a B-ranker in the guild because of me but they weren't just normal people... they were the local lord's son and his entourage."
"Ooooh that guy… He was a B-rank? but he was so weak? Why didn't anyone take measures to get rid of him?" I thought lords were supposed to be good leaders?
"Well let's just say he was very shrewd and always had a backup plan for any incident. After Master and Mistress had left, he had also started going on rampant." Explained Systy.
Seeing the rather gloomy air, Mai changed the topic. Even so, if that guy was able to run rampant, I wondered what the lords and their people were doing.
"Young master, you must be hungry, why don't you have breakfast first."
Going to the dining table, Systy walked behind Rekka, she had been trying to say something but she just didn't get the right timing, Mai seeing this chuckled to herself.
Systy was a girl who was always confident in what she always did but right now she was acting as if a maiden in love. Yesterday, what Rekka had done was all on his own. He didn't ask Systy anything. At the end of the day, what had transpired to the people was that the hero's grandson had punished a villain out of his righteous heart. Rekka had not delved into Systy's business at all, making her feel that the master that she had only met for a day or two knew her better than even the one's beside her. like this, she couldn't even ask him why he had done that for her, and by the same reason, she couldn't even say thank you to her master.
Rekka's thoughtfulness to be helpful to Systy was more than enough to make her wonder why someone who barely knew her had done so much for her. But that one line rang again and again in her head, 'Not to mention you are my friend…'
"Hmm today's breakfast is great too.." as Rekka had his breakfast, Elia, one of the twin maids, came with a letter.
"Young master, you have got a letter from the Guild master."
...…
"Hmm a letter, let's see…" The letter had stated that Rekka was needed at the guild office and the 20% monster materials he had left had already been sold. Patting Elia's head with a thank you he stood up. although Elia was actually older than, only a bit though, Rekka still acted like a older brother, and for some reason, both Lia and Elia liked to be pampered by him.
"Hmm looks like I'll be going to the guild." He said as Systy came forward but Rekka stopped her.
"Don't worry, I won't be long. I would like to go alone if you don't mind.'' Hearing this, Systy stopped in her tracks, this shouldn't have bothered her so much. Rekka had shown his intelligence and his might in the town and hardly anyone doesn't know about him, so it shouldn't be a problem, but she was now in an emotional state to think about all that, As she thought that Rekka had rejected her company for other matters or found her incapable, Systy started to get gloomy. her whole world felt as if it was crumbling apart.
Mai also understood what Systy was thinking by seeing her dejected face. Still their master always agreed to their offers no matter how weird it might have been to him. Only now did Rekka denied any such offer like this where it was clear that he wouldn't budge.
Now in a Dilemma about what to do, Mai thought but came up with nothing else. Rekka got changed just like the first time he had gone to the guild but this time the clothes were not so striking, it looked like a hoody loosely made so one couldn't guess who it was. it was probably for disguising.
"Alright Everyone, I'll be back soon okay and Systy, here I made permanent adventuring equipment and gears for you. it looked to me as if you liked your clothes yesterday, well you can also not wear it but I'd like for you to have it. If we could adventure in the future. Even though I am low rank now, I will definitely catch up." Rekka gave the clothes to Systy.
All the maids there to see their Young master made envious faces. Who could believe that Rekka had only stayed 3 days in the mansion? He had already made a large effect on the maids to the point they get this jealousy from seeing someone among them getting more favours from him.
"I'll bring something for all of you, so be prepared to be surprised okay?" Mai thought it was as if Rekka had full control of the situation. receiving the gift Systy was speechless and a little shy but to throw off that mood Rekka had discovered other maids' Looking at them. So he changed the situation to ease the atmosphere. He also drew all the attention of Systy to him in a good way. Who knew if Rekka had been able to sense their jealousy or not but he did take the right initiative.
As he Left, Mai thought to herself how someone who lived in the wild all their life handled any situation like it was his daily routine. Making all these girls in his favour that too in 3 days is truly hard. Even if he has a cute face… this level of impact on everyone is really irregular.
That was right, in these 3 days, Rekka had been able to get on the good side of any maid he had gotten in contact with. All of these workers were the most stunning and hard to get girls in the town or probably in the region but they were now getting charmed left and right. The reason was quite simple. Rekka never actively approached any girl. As these girls clearly had enough guys pursuing them, seeing a guy who just passed by them without a single glance at them might have had a bigger impression than they could ever imagine.
Not to mention Rekka's refined sense from his modern world, he viewed women to be equal to men, there were probably very few men who could honestly feel this way about society, Apart from the hero Merlin, he was someone extraordinary, people could feel the difference in how he treats everyone. Rekka having the same values set in his attitude, looked at the maids not just as a servant but a family and to him his family was very precious, living alone for a long period of time couldn't help the case becoming even more sensitive. he looked at everyone with such a gaze, that the girls couldn't help but melt in delight in front of him.
Anyway, the main point is that, if someone feels valued then obviously they would view the other party with some good thoughts in them, as Rekka was someone special, it is even more effective here.
As Mai thought this, she saw her young master leave through the gate and he was gone from their sight in seconds. His skills were topnotch...
Mistress Melinda's blood must be strong in his veins but in a completely different way, unlike pursuing, he is letting them come to him… how frightening. Even his passive actions carry an unseen weight…
Mai's thoughts were so accurate that it described Rekka's nature to a T. and being the first girl to ever realize this, Mai looked fondly at her master, who was going to more than be able to fulfil Melinda's wishes.
