'Why didn't I see his mother?'
After sitting in thought for a while, Rain brushed those negative thoughts away.
'Anyway, I have to thank the Will of the World for the fully set table~'
Having sorted out the information he had received, Rain shifted his gaze back to the hero. He didn't interrupt him before, as he wanted to see how it would end. Сale still didn't want to give up and continued to persuade Eliana.
Rain had had enough of this situation, so he got up from his seat and made his way over to the blond man still standing in the aisle and not stopping talking.
"Out of the way."
An unfamiliar male voice snapped Cale out of his conversation, forcing him to look at the one who addressed him.
"...what?"
Cale looked to the side in confusion and found there was enough room to pass. He opened his mouth to say something, but Rain's rough voice beat him to it.
"Get out of my way."
Despite that short phrase, Cale felt a bone-chilling chill that was further intensified by the pair of blood-red eyes directed at him. His body instinctively stepped aside, hitting the neighboring tables.
When the aisle was clear, Rain walked past them with a slight smirk, heading towards the exit. He didn't turn around to see how it ended, because in a few seconds it was all known.
The awkward silence was interrupted by Eliana's ringing laugh, followed by her voice full of mirth.
"Phahahaha, did you just get scared of my brother?"
When she had laughed enough, her voice grew colder.
"Cale, you're even more pathetic than I thought, so take someone of your own level with you on a mission."
This time there was no hesitation in her words, making it clear that she would not change her mind.
Walking out of the classroom I had a hard time holding back a smile at those words.
'Even her character has its good points.'
Walking through the bustling corridors, Rain rubbed the dark ring on his finger thoughtfully. It was the same Ring of Terror he had recently received as a random reward for one of Astrid's quests.
'As I thought, the hero has some immunity from this sort of thing.'
"Are you looking for Ms. Flamestrider?"
Rain turned toward the source of the voice and saw that not far away from him stood a girl his age with a journal in her hands.
She was wearing a standard female uniform, but had to restrain her non-standard large breasts.
When Rain saw her, a strange mixture of emotions flashed in his eyes, awakening some scenes in his mind.
After studying his face better, the girl flipped back a few strands of her hair with an elegant hand.
"I wasn't sure at first, but it really is you, Rain."
Her words made Rain snap out of his thoughts.
"Hello to you too, Olivia. What are you doing here?"
"Just passing by and I was curious if it was really you."
Succinctly replied Olivia.
"Okay, it's me and I really need Amelia, can you tell me where she is?"
"Judging by how long you stood in front of her door, you must be close. May I ask who you are to her?"
"I'm her... friend."
Olivia thought about something for a few seconds before she said.
"Then perhaps you're not aware of it yet, but she's been having problems at home in recent weeks and is rarely here. If you want to know exactly when you'll find her here, you'd better check with her yourself."
Realizing that he wouldn't be able to get any useful information from her about it Rain decided to change his plan.
'Just going to ask Сale where I can find his sister.'
Thinking about it, Rain turned the conversation in another direction, pointing to the clock hanging on the wall.
"The next class starts soon, so we should hurry up."
