The Game Rune System

Chapter 30: Red Rose's Woman origins

It took awhile for Yurek to calm down, actually.

The old man needed to confirm one thing, "Are you her enemy? I think I know who you are talking about, so please tell me." Tetsuya was weak, too weak for Red Rose woman to consider him her enemy, but Tetsuya could possibly be an enemy of her 'origin'.

The game master pondered for a little, "She hurt my woman's family, so our second meeting will clash, then we will see." The last words told Yurek that Tetsuya probably aimed to seize Red Rose woman or make her his ally. It was hard to tell, but the situation looked not that bad, so the old man quickly began to tell what he knew.

"Just don't go against her, for now" To not hurt Tetsuya's ego, Yurek softly reminded first, "She is possibly from Light Sanctuary. Her recent move in this province was to extinguish the royal family, so your woman must be maid from here? She should be a worker, right? Because"

"Because that family had demon bloodline?" Tetsuya said what was on the old man's tongue. This caused Karola to tremble as the word 'demon' was alone scary. And while the old man could nod a few times, Tetsuya just spat out the truth, "She is the direct descendant."

"!" Both Yurek and Karola went wide, seeming frozen in time. They didn't expect Tetsuya to share this news just like that and wouldn't it be better to just go with the old man's version? It would be better for both Yurek's sanity and Tetsuya's interest.

But here he just shared it like that, "You often judge people by their race and appearance, but that's because you know nothing about them. It's fine for you to assume that there could be some shady things going in shadows since they had that demon bloodline, but I can tell you that my woman is not naughty yet."

"O-of course we'd believe you." Yurek was flabbergasted, hardly speaking.

"And if she were to become naughty, then I obviously would tame that naughty side well." Tetsuya's words sounded confident. It was his 'most confident' voice that the duo heard from him. When it came to people around him, Tetsuya quickly could learn about them with his eyes and experience. He knew what kind of woman Ashley was, so the confidence was genuine here.

Karola was amazed by that, "We shouldn't judge, old man. There weren't any rumors about demons at all and such things as people disappearing silently overnight also never happened in our province, at least at a mass rate. We also don't know what demon race exactly is, do we?" The mercenary won some affection from Ashley with these words.

Tetsuya also looked favorably at Karola after she said it. He returned his eyes to Yurek who coughed a few times.

"That's understandable, but don't be so careless against other demon races if you were to meet any. If I am-" Yurek's speech got stopped. It was because Tetsuya knew what he wanted to tell them.

No one could be trusted, but, "But you can always speak first. This woman who brought hell upon this land needs to be thoroughly questioned, don't you think so?"

"Right"

"Continue with this Light Sanctuary." Tetsuya had enough of this for now. People often didn't want to deal with him because he was too talented, so those people often just got ignored by him.

Now that he was the game master and had his powers growing at astonishing pace, Tetsuya wouldn't only ignore, but also use if necessary. That much was obvious.

Yurek nodded, knowing that Tetsuya was shrouded in a mysterious aura that could pull out many unbelievable things, "Light Sanctuary is an organisation known world-wide. I believe every leader of the clan head knows about them because this very organisation often checks heritages and runes. Their main goal is to erase runes that influence people's mindset. I only know this much"

Tetsuya thought that their goal was something lame as eradicating the evil runes or something similar to it. It would be hypocritical in such a betraying world and he surely would laugh upon this organisation if it were to be like that.

Though it turned out different, Tetsuya asked, "Since it's a world-wide known organisation, they must be one of the strongest here?" He wanted to know how this organisation looks against the background of Mystic Academy for example.

Yurek found it fair as this academy was the strongest force here with one noble family, "Mystic Academy wouldn't let them do whatever they want, but they also wouldn't oppose them much. This sanctuary makes big moves only if they confirm their assumptions, so it's often a long time for others to clean their record"

Hearing this, Tetsuya nodded then learned of a few more powerful organisations that had too much freedom in his eyes. His opinion made Yurek and Karola just faintly smile, then the game master had to listen to Ashley's emotional voice echoing in his mind.

She also reminded him that she won't be naughty woman.

"So, the earth rune. What were you talking about?" Tetsuya also returned to his other goal which was the earth rune.

"Yes. I was talking about the auction." Yurek spoke about common 'fun' that was enjoyed by people from all origins. Even Mystic Academy's students were participating as they could use their student points on the auction.

"Oh, auction? I guess we are going here." Tetsuya nodded.

Answering this, Yurek also nodded then asked quietly, "I don't want to sound rude, but you have some bag of money, right?" The answer to this question told the old man that it was just the beginning of 'fun' adventures with Tetsuya.

What Tetsuya told him was simple, "The one who presents the runes and other treasures is the woman. Woman's charm works well with high prices and it's part of the bigger picture. Now, what could possibly be more expensive than everything that auction and the world can offer? That is my smile as it works differently on every woman. I will have the auctioneer give me earth rune in exchange for my smile."

"..." Karola felt like laughing, but the old man's expression stopped her each time she glanced at him. He was so dead inside, but also scary. He was scared so much that he began to regret the auction move.

It seemed like throwing Tetsuya into the crowd was not a good idea, at least now.
