Lucky 373

"Then I will leave now. The presentation is still far away and we can make more plans next time."

Shoujo excused herself. She had things to do and they were important. To be honest, she wanted to stay with Lou Viola, but she knew how important her job was. It was connected to her life and she could not run away from it.

"See you tomorrow then."

Lou smiled and said goodbye. She glanced at Calix and realized that the man had something else on his mind because he didn't even look at her.

Lou was a little disappointed. She had hoped that Calix would invite her back, but it seemed that Calix was busy as well.

'Well, I can use this time to study. There's an exam tomorrow and I need to work hard to keep my scholarship.'

Even for a smart woman like her, there were obstacles she had to face.

"Goodbye, Lucky."

"Ah? Yeah! Take care, Lou."

Calix came to his senses and waved his hand. He realized that Lou was leaving.

"I will."

She was sweet and beautiful. The three parted and Calix was left alone. He was still surprised by what had happened earlier.

He was in deep thought as he rubbed the monocle again.

[Hm~~ Oh my God~ Daddy more~]

His eyes twitched. The hand that held the monocle shook.

'What the hell is this?'

This was not the first time he had experienced such a situation. But this situation was too damned outrageous!

'Why are you moaning? Besides, you sound gruff and old! Like a granny!'

He cursed. It would be great if the moaning was young and lustful, but it was an old woman. Her voice was that of a grandmother!

And she called him Daddy!

He didn't have to deny it.

[Your ancestor is Master Vulcan, the great Ogre Smith.]

"Wait, what?"

That was shocking. He hadn't expected to be from the lineage of a blacksmith.

'Ogres can be blacksmiths? What about the runes? The technology came from the dwarves. How can an ogre make a rune weapon?'

Calix thought that the creator of the gun was a dwarf.

[Do not underestimate the ogres. They may be a docile and loving race, but they have strong bodies. They can make powerful weapons. However, among the ogres, only Master Vulcan could create a runic weapon. His existence was unique. Unfortunately, I didn't know Master Vulcan's parents. Maybe one of them was a dwarf].

This information was quite absurd and Calix had a hard time accepting it. It was abrupt.

'This is too much.'

He frowned.

He believed that the master who created Mento was a dwarf. Even Kimberly thought it was a dwarf. If this monocle was not lying, then both Calix and Kimberly were wrong.

He sighed and shook his head. They were mortals. Kimberly might be a genius, but she didn't know everything. No one was perfect.

"Let's ignore this confusing stuff for now. I want to ask you, what are you? You said you were created by a master blacksmith, so what is your purpose?"

Calix had been using Mento for almost five years. He knew how special the gun was, and he was eager to know what the monocle's abilities were.

[Well, if you want to know. You have to carry me. You can hear me, which means you can 'use' me! Go ahead! Use me! Ah!]

'Why do you keep emphasizing the word 'use'? I feel uncomfortable right now.'

Calix had no choice but to wear the broken monocle, and he was stunned by what he saw.

"What's happening?"

His pupils trembled as he realized that the world had changed after he put on the monocle. The glass was already cracked, but that didn't matter, Calix was more curious about what he was seeing.

"The people, they have auras. And their auras have different colors..."

What did that mean? Maybe he would find out later.
