Chapter 335: - He is Heartless
Leon stepped out of his game room and found Freya sitting in the living room, her attention fixed on a TV show. It was Friday evening, and Lily still hadn't come home from school.
He dropped onto the couch beside her, letting himself relax for a moment. Freya, sensing his need for a bit of quiet, didn't say anything at first.
His mind wandered back to his first experience exploring the demon world-it had been a mix of awe and strangeness that still lingered with him.
"You looked like you were having fun," Freya teased with a playful giggle.
"You're great at sarcasm, you know that?"
Leaning back and closing his eyes, Leon began to recount everything that had happened. His voice was relaxed as he lazily highlighted the key moments.
"There was someone who suddenly appeared stealthily and took one slot of the portal," he said, pausing briefly. "And then there was a slave market... Two women-a bunny-girl and an elf. The elf caught me checking her status and spoke to me telepathically. She threatened me... told me not to reveal her level."
He trailed off, giving Freya fragmented pieces of the story, hoping she'd piece it together without him needing to explain too much.
Freya remained calm, listening intently as Leon shared his experience in a disjointed manner. She then showed something on his phone. Leon glanced at it-it was a series of photos she had taken inside the game. The images showed members of the Ass Guild in Slumdon Town: Maylock training the knights, Goldrich patrolling the town and flirting with women, Elincia returning from a mission, Livelywood, a few others, and Charmelyn sitting near a farming field, observing the workers.
"But why do you think members of the Ass Guild might have snuck into the portal to Hell?" Freya asked, her brows furrowed.
"I'm not sure," Leon admitted, leaning forward slightly. "They were just the first ones that came to mind-people who would be bold enough to pull something like that off, following me and slipping into the portal without being noticed." He hesitated before adding, "And they mentioned something about... Blade... Ghost?"
"Blade Phantom," she confirmed with a giggle.
"Who is he or she?"
"No one really knows their true identity. Some people even say there's more than one of them. But Blade Phantom is a mercenary usually hired by the wealthy."
"It couldn't be them, could it? I've never had dealings with someone like that."
"You expect me to buy every slave in Yunatea or what, Freya?"
She laughed softly. "But you're the one who said NPCs have their own lives, and you respect
that, right?"
Leon sighed. "Yes, I did say that. But like I mentioned, I'm not going around helping everyone
who needs it."
Freya giggled again. "That's not very main-character behavior."
Leon shrugged. "I don't think I am one."
Leon stood up and stretched his muscles. "Time for my daily self-torture-running, gym,
and training," he said with a grin, then glanced over at Freya. "Wanna join?"
"Nope, I'll pass."
"How about after that? We can hang out at the rooftop café," he offered casually.
Freya smirked. "Are you asking me out?"
"Yes, consider it a reward for all the hard work you've done helping me," he said playfully.
"And I think that reward isn't enough!"
"You said you don't need money, right?" he chuckled.
Leon changed into his workout clothes, and together, they walked out of the room. As they made their way to the elevator, they joked and chatted all the way down to the lobby.
