''Report? What happened?'' Raydon inquired with curiosity. At last, he was relieved to see that this cult was actually fulfilling its original purpose.
''During your absence, a battle maid named Tika, who works in the same household as sister Belicia, came to inquire about you. However, because the master was not present, she caused a bit of a commotion, and with the help of a senior, she finally stated that she would leave and return later,'' Dan explained.
'Tika? Belicia stated that it would take her at least two weeks to obtain the necessary permission and return. Or was she sent so quickly because of misunderstandings behind my back? ' Radon pondered.
He was certain that the attention and misunderstandings that affected Fang's attitude towards him had also affected his family since Fang was also a mid-rank item holder.
''All right, keep up the good work.''
Raydon didn't seem to mind and continued on his way home.
Although he would have preferred waiting until he was stronger before meeting his family, the situation was not terrible. For him, this would be just one more obstacle to overcome. It was like he was thrust into the game's final boss fight right at the beginning.
''Do you believe Master is acquainted with my sister? '' After Raydon had climbed the stairs and entered his home, Rayn quickly turned and questioned the others. He was most shocked to learn that Belicia is an item holder and is referred to as the battle maid.
''I don't know why, but Master didn't seem too surprised to learn that a maid by the name of Tika had come here. Master probably expected her to show up. '' Karan said thoughtfully.
''Well, there's no need for us to discuss it amongst ourselves. We will be able to learn everything from Sister Belicia when she returns. Instead of wasting any more time, pay attention to your training. ''After speaking, Karan turned to face Rayn and continued.
''As I previously stated, Rayn, your sister must have hidden the fact that she is an item holder in order to keep us safe. We won't know the specifics until she arrives, but we shouldn't judge her unfavorably now. ''
After Tika, who wore the same maid costume as Belicia and worked for the same family, attacked them, there were many unanswered questions in everyone's minds. Still, they did not wish to have negative thoughts about Belicia.
Rayn simply nodded his head in agreement upon hearing those words. He was hurt that his sister had lied and hidden things from him for so long, but he knew that if Belicia hadn't had a good reason, she wouldn't have done it.

''I can at long last find some peace of mind.'' Raydon sighed as he walked into his dusty house. Although it had only been a short while since he had last seen his home, he felt as if he hadn't seen it in a very long time because of everything he had been through since he had left.
''They ought to at least clean the house if they have that much spare time. '' Raydon pondered as he observed the shabby room that Belicia hadn't been to in a while. Then he wondered whether he should tell Dan and the others to keep his house tidy.
''Anyway, I'll think about it later. I've got a lot more important things to do.'' As he spoke, Raydon reached into his dimensional storage and pulled out several pieces of meat that had been grilled with his black flames.
Using the two blue-level body enchantments he had was at the top of his to-do list. However, he suppressed his appetite beforehand to prevent his body from being overloaded by these body enchantments.
Raydon has switched to eating fire-type meat from his most recent match, and he has found that it works just as well as death-type meat in preventing him from overeating. He also enhanced this effect by cooking them with his black flames.
"I wonder if using the Spirit of the Wisp body enchantment Fang gave me will change the amount and type of meat I need. '' Radon pondered. Right now, he wasn't even sure what element this body enchantment belonged to.
After consuming kilograms of F-Rank mob meat once more, Raydon was able to finally sate his hunger. He then removed the wisp-like object from his dimensional storage.
Raydon wasn't sure what element this body enchantment belonged to, but he assumed it wouldn't hurt him because Fang hadn't given him any warnings about anything to watch out for when using it.
''Could it be a soul-type thing? In many games I've played before, soul and death have been introduced as two distinct elements, so this makes sense. In the end, the soul is thought of as a form of life, right? '' Radon wondered.
He could not think of any type that the soul could be incompatible with; however, if this were a death type, it would have an opposing effect with elements such as holy and light types and harm the body.
''I guess I'll have to do some research on these rare elements later.'' Raydon stated as he began to remove his clothes once more in order to use the body enchantment.
This time, he also put a blanket he found in his house underneath, which he didn't want to deal with if he had to vomit on the floor as he had before.
''Well, up until now, this is the most valuable thing I've ever owned. I really hope you won't let me down. '' Looking at the wisp in his hand, Raydon exclaimed with excitement. To him, the XP was more valuable than anything else.
Raydon took a few deep breaths to calm his frenzied anticipation before chanting.
''Body Enchantment. ''
Then, feeling an overpowering exhaustion in his spirit, his eyes grew heavy and he collapsed on the blanket he had spread out on the floor.
