Chapter 286 A Clueless Fellow

Raven sat on the chair and relaxed. Surprisingly, it was even more comfortable than her own bed.

It was as if the wood was made from entirely different materials.

Everything in Northern's room reeked of luxury.

She almost felt jealous.

Northern spent a few moments gathering his thoughts while Raven waited on the wooden, comfortable chair.

After a few minutes passed, Raven mumbled,

"So...?"

Northern leaned against the wall and folded his arms.

"Something is strange about this place. I don't quite know how to put it. The entire civilization of these monsters revolves around Ulzred."

Raven raised a brow.

"And what exactly is strange about that? He's their king."

"Exactly, Raven. It's not that I don't understand, but these things feel extreme sometimes. He's a king, not a superstar."

Raven cocked her head a little.

"What's a superstar?"

Shocked, Northern squinted his eyes in suspicion.

After a couple of silent seconds, he asked carefully,

"The Aides Four, you don't listen to their songs?"

Raven frowned subtly.

"What is a song?"

"Eh? No way..."

The concept of songs was not strange. Electronic devices existed in Tra-el but were created and managed in a completely different manner from the world he used to know.

This manner solely relied on rift resources, just like how a crystal was the power source of an entire flying ship.

These rift resources could power many things, including electricity and electronic devices.

Northern had first heard the human sound over a radio with his father singing along and dancing.

It happened almost every morning when Shin woke up.

At first, he hated the band because they sounded like they were singing a country song from the '80s back on Earth.

But somehow, it began to grow on him.

At ten, he began to sing along with his father but often just in his room.

"A man has a third leg? How can a man have a third leg? Is that supposed to be a tail?"

"Yes! Like a tail, but in front."

"A tail in front?"

Northern dropped his head.

'There is no hope for this girl. She really must have grown up in a cave!'

Raven folded her hands.

"I can see you are finding it difficult to explain. This PP thing, is it a good or a bad thing?"

Northern stared blankly for a couple of seconds.

If one was to put it like that... was it good or bad? Even he didn't have a justified answer.

He shrugged.

"I guess it's like a perverted thing?"

With an emotionless face, Raven pressed on,

"Is it good perverted or bad perverted?"

Northern was caught in a tight spot by that question.

He thought for a while then responded,

"I believe, Raven, that some things are not as simple as good or bad."

"Then we ignore it and move on... what matters is what good or bad effect this perverted thing has."

Northern was dazed for a while.

He didn't even know how to process her manner of thinking.

'If they were to have an orgy with a kid that's not even twelve... I guess that's like a bad thing.'

But he knew better than to voice that out, since he'd have to start explaining what an orgy means.

'I wonder if she even knows the meaning of sex.'

"So... was there any other observation that stood out and made you find this whole love for their king weird?"

Northern's gaze became a little somber.

In the shadow of the dimly lit room, his eyes glowed a bit, revealing his undisputed beauty. One that Raven had never seen before.

"He seems to be at his happiest when he's with me. And sometimes, his expression is always as if he is asking for help."

Raven's eyes squinted together as she asked,

"Asking for help from what?"
