Around the Builder Faction, small wind gust became more frequent. This was Tetsuo watching the Builder Faction build the house for Rex.
When the night came that Tetsuo met Margaret. He wanted to end her life quickly. Something told him not to.
"We can wait. I guess I should meet her first." Tetsuo whispered while running towards Margaret.
He asked, "Why are you spying?"
Margaret quickly turned on her back and stared at Tetsuo behind her.
"Who are you?" Margaret whispered.
"Little me, I am sorry. I am Tetsuo. May I ask why you are spying now, young lady?" Tetsuo asked.
"My friend asked me to. She was afraid something big was happening without our future husband's approval." Margaret replied.
"I am glad that it was for your future husband. I would hate to kill such a fine lady as yourself." Tetsuo bowed and ran off.
He wanted to learn more about this man whom she called a future husband.
He quietly watched as Iris and Liz both went into the Labyrinth day in and day out.
After getting g tired of waiting for nearly half a month. Tetsuo watched Bella and the vampire maids.
A makeshift building was built by some bandits. Tetsuo was going to take care of them. He watched as Bella used Demonic Qi to hold the bandits down while the vampire maids drained them of their blood.
Once they were drained, a small black fire burned their bodies to ash.
Tetsuo could see something different about Jubokko. He could not quite tell what happened.
On the twenty-fiveth day, Tetsuo watched as the Builder Faction painted the bridge. He was quite pleased with the paint job himself.
On the last day, Tetsuo watched a man leave the Labyrinth. Tetsuo's instincts immediately told him to run.
He watched as Rex began to see the outside. Tetsuo then felt as if he was going to die as Rex approached the house.
Tetsuo had never felt so hopeless in his life. He was raised to be the strongest in his tribe.
He had fought against Lieutenant Ranked Beasts and nearly died. He never felt fear from them. It was the strongest beast vs strongest beast.
in front of Rex, it was like a kitten vs an angered mother bear. Tetsuo quickly ran off. He did not want to deal with Rex for now.
The next morning came. Tetsuo felt a little better than he did last night. Nothing could make him feel completely better.
He stood in front of the door. He listened quietly. He wanted to talk to Rex. Once a commotion started.
Tetsuo listened very closely. He learned that Rex was cooking breakfast. Tetsuo held his hand as he wanted to knock. The commander behind him forced Tetsuo to knock.
"What are you doing?" Tetsuo lowly growled.
"Helping a Beastman like myself." The commander replied.
Bella opened the door to find Tetsuo.
"Something the matter today, sir?" Bella asked politely.
Bella knew the man in front of her was the same one that Margaret had met before. Tetsuo bowed and said, "I was wondering who the man that this place is representing is."
"Come in." Bella answered.
Tetsuo walked in. He found Rex had finished cooking breakfast for everyone.
Even the commander and his battalion were offered breakfast. They, too, enjoyed their breakfast outside.
Tetsuo watched as Rex and the women around him ate happily. Tetsuo had never seen such a wonderful family before.
"Could I one day have that?" He slowly began to say what he was thinking.
"No." Iris said.
Tetsuo shook his head and looked at Iris. Iris giggled and handed him some leftovers from breakfast. Tetsuo slowly began to eat it.
Flavors that he never had flooded his mouth. Softness and juiciest of flaky meat was lightly served with weird cut vegetables. One bite of those made the crunchy noise but made the meat go well with it.
"What is this breakfast meal?" Tetsuo wondered.
"A fish from the Ninth Realm, some vegetables from the Eighth Realm cut up finely and divided." Liz said.
Tetsuo froze when he heard Ninth Realm. He had made it to the Sixth Realm. He was currently bottlenecked. All hope of breaking out of it seemed lost until now.
"Tetsuo, this is a portion of my family." Margaret called out.
Tetsuo looked up to see Margaret. She politely began to introduce everyone.
"First off, our future husband Rex." Margaret pointed to Rex.
The two shook hands, and Tetsuo felt under immense pressure.
Margaret moved to Rex's left.
"This is Bella, Rex's head maid."
Tetsuo shook hands and felt all the Demonic Qi that she could muster. He knew that she would become a powerhouse.
"This is Iris." Margaret moved to the left again.
When Tetsuo shook hands. He knew that Iris was no ordinary woman. He did his best to keep his cool.
Margaret went to the right of Rex.
"This is Elizabeth, or Liz as we call her." Margaret said.
Shaking her hands was like shaking Iris's hands. He truly had just walked in a monster house full of monsters that should not be together in the Mortal Realm.
"This is Amber. She and I are the caretakers to Iris and Liz." Margaret pointed to Amber on the other side of Liz.
Tetsuo knew that what it took to control one monster was several monsters together. He had finally found a reason to keep in touch with Rex.
"Can I ask that you and I speak privately after breakfast?" Tetsuo asked directly at Rex.
"Sure."
Everyone began to eat and enjoy each other's company for just a little bit. Finally, Iris and Liz started gathering the plates.
Tetsuo followed Rex upstairs.
Rex walked inside the Talisman Room. Even Tetsuo was surprised to see such a massive desk for that.
Once Tetsuo finally sat down, the two men stared at each other. Tetsuo was the first to speak.
"All of my life, I have had to be the best I can. In front of you, I am nothing. Will you help me travel the Realms? I am bottlenecked at the Sixth Realm currently." Tetsuo asked.
