Alex awoke, and it appeared that someone was talking.
Looking at the spectacle in front of him, he recognizes who they are.
"Are you alright?"
When Alex noticed his aunt had awoken, he quickly inquired as to if there was anything wrong with her.
"Everything is OK, so don't grasp her shoulders too tight. She is still a woman, you know."
Angelina caresses his hands and moves away from Erica's shoulder.
"I'm sorry."
He sighed in relief while sitting and stated, "I'm relief."
Then he looked directly into her eyes.
He was about to cry for no apparent reason, so he looked away.
He could feel their gazes and felt embarrassed because a male shouldn't cry in front of a female.
However, he is so relieved that he expresses some emotions, such as not knowing when this was born.
As an orphan in his previous life, having memories of Alex Hambell made him desire to stay with this family.
After all, in his former existence, no one had chosen him.
Nobody wanted to be his family.
No family members chose to be with him.
Now that he had a family, he couldn't bring them closer to him because it would be strange for a rebellious youngster to suddenly become a family guy.
Also, he realizes that even if he acts like that, it won't be long until he wants to be alone again.
Being alone is such a part of his life that he has become friends with it, so he couldn't simply leave and let them be spoiled by him.
He is now one of the wealthiest persons in May City and is regarded as a saint by the locals; he believes it is time to relax again.
His behavior is already loose, and he intends to make it more looser.
Meanwhile, the two women smile as they notice him looking away.
…
They let him go home because it was already nighttime and her condition was good.
When they're alone in the room, they get serious.
"Sorry, I let down my guard."
Erica apologized.
"Since when did you receive the box?"
"A week ago in the Rossford Household."
She paused for a bit before continuing, "It may be impolite, but could you tell me what your job is?"
Angelina is aware that she will reject her, but she stated that there is a possibility she would tell.
"Not only my job, I can tell you everything."
"I see, I'm sorry for asking you—wait, can you tell me? Are you serious?"
"I am serious. Rather, I should inform you straight away. I intended to wait a day, but now that we're talking, I might as well tell you right away."
She collects the information she has in her head before speaking again.
"A new ruin has been discovered, and it is believed to be one of Tech Leviathan's hideouts. The kingdom discovered a blueprint and an unfinished structure. A big metallic bird with no internal components. According to the blueprint, it is referred to as an aircraft.
"An aircraft? Is this like the ships of the Lunar Country?"
"I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so I'm not sure. However, they stated that it has two seats."
"How does this relate to your job?"
"Do you know the third prince?"
"Yeah, no one supported him because he is too weak both in physical and social strength."
"The third prince betrayed the kingdom by telling it to the Lunar Country about the blueprint."
"It is far unfair to call it a betrayal when he has just told, right?"
"Yeah, if not for the fact that the blueprint got stolen the next day."
Angelina is speechless.
"They know that the third prince has something to do with it but the king has no evidence and that's where I'm gonna come in."
"I understand now, but why do you want me to tell this?"
"Do you know about the latest monster attacks in our kingdom?"
She said, "You mean…" as if she understood.
"I stumbled into it while exploring, but I discovered that Lunar Country had something to do with it. The next target is our city. The attack will happen after a few weeks. I decided to train Alex before the battle because I couldn't focus on him when the time happens. You know the rest."
"Do not be sad. Alex is more mature than you realize."
"But I'm still the one who—"
"Don't worry."
"Don't put your finger in my mouth."
"Ouch! Your slaps stung my hands. I'll sue you!"
"…"
"…"
"Pft~!"
"Pft~!"
And they started laughing.
…
[Status App: It displays a simplified representation of someone's status by snapping a picture. A smartphone app that only the host can use.
[Refresh Skill: Passive and Active skill. When it is passive, it can slowly cure or heal any condition, but when active, it does it instantly. However, it can only be used once per day, and when the active is used, the passive effect is removed for a day.
Walking back home, he examines his rewards.
He understands that without that mysterious individual, he would not be able to defeat Erica.
Still, if he sees that person again, he will express his gratitude appropriately.
Taking out his smartphone, he instantly launches the Status app.
He uses the front camera to take a shot of himself and then presses the button.
A light flashes as the camera takes a photograph of him.
When he saw the snapshot, he double-tapped it, and the photo changed to reflect his present state.

"In comparison to the PC version, this appears meek. Also, as long as I have someone's image, I can always check their status changes."
Looking at his status, he feels proud of himself.
Anyway, he might run into another problem if he doesn't walk quicker now, so he walks quickly till he gets home.
Seeing the lights, he assumed Yihan was waiting for him again.
Since she entered his life, he has not felt as alone as he had in the past.
His desire for familiar affection is diminishing since he believes that someone will always greet him whenever he goes out and returns.
He was going to get up when he noticed her asleep on the sofa.
He looks at the table and notices several dishes that she has prepared for him.
He smiles as he looks at her fox mask and has the sudden impulse to remove it.
He shook his head, since he did not want her to feel betrayed.
Now that he thinks about…
He pulled out his smartphone and decided to take a picture of her.
After all, he's curious about her current status.
